NAp0LEoN's VALUE OF VICTORY.
Il Finds a Striking Counterpart In Recent
World Triumphs,

Napoleon knew we'll the value OF vic
his. Fame invited, fortune favored every
thing stimulated his aspiring ambition.
With growing power, he gathered the
fruits OF victory. And so has it ever been.
Success succeeds. A notable illustration OF
this truth ia furnished by the great VIC
tories won at the Worlds Fair in '93 and
the California Midwinter Fair In '94 by DR..
Prices Cream Baking Powder. Ever In
creasing sales and popularity have been
the result. The people have promptly
ratified the official vsrdicts that declared
DR. Price's, for leavening power, keeping
qualities, purity ana general excslIence,
the foremost baking powder in all the
world" Quite as quickly as the great
Emperor do they know the value OF q
victory that means worldwide supremacy.

Home Rule For New Mexico.
From Washington Special.

will select residents Of Territories for
the federal Offices in those Territories,
and that no outsiders may expect any
such appointments. To Congressman
Young, OF Philadelphia. who asked
him to appoint Philadelphisn named
Tobin, governor of New Mexico, the
president said he believed the people
Of Territory we're entitled to select
the federal appointments to be made
therein.
"But,'' said Young, '.suppose the
people OF a Territory and the party
leaders there were unable to agree
upon a man to be appointed, ~cnld
you not then be justified In going out
side Of the Territory for the appoint
mentPn
The presidents answer was most
emphatic negative. He said: "Un-
der no circumstances would i feel
justified in going outside Of Terri
tory for q man to fill an Office therein,
as long as suitable man for the ap-
pointment 70 be made can be found
there"

EASTER MONDAY
Il Pals on the Lexington and Concord Bridge
Plight Anniversary.

CHICAGO, Illinois, April ie.-Easter
Monday, this year, happens to be the
anniversary both Of the battle OF Lex
ingion and of the fight at Concord
bridge, and in the spacious halls and
parlors of the building owned by the
Chicago Historical society, the colonial
DANES, of Illinois are, this evening, to
give reception which will be the So
ciety event of the year. Mrs. Adlai Z.
Stevenson, wife of the former vice.
president, came up from her home In
Bloomington, this morning, to officiate
as head OF the reception committee.
So far, there appear to be but twenty
seven women in Illinois who have alb.
solutely traced back their lineage to
colonial families, although there are
2,700 more who believe that they can
do so. Under the rules, however, no
application for membership can be re-
ceived, and woman must needs be
invited to become a member. The
requisite for membership is that the can
didate shall have an ancestor who per-
formed some act or held some colonial
office that brought him or her into
prominence prior to the time that the
Georges ruled in EngIani, Some of
the twenty seven members will wear,
tonight, wedding gowns and colonial
ball dresses that have been handed
down from their ancestors.

THEY TAKE WATER.
Ogden People Still Have Faith in Her
Water Supply.

Verify the crawfish whose gambols
about the waterworks reservoir were
described in Thursdays Stanard must
have been prophetic. Thursday the
flare head in that paper was: I'VE
Drink Foul, Filthy and Sinking
Water" and yesterday the head was:
1T Was Not Filthy, but it Was
Cleaned
The matter yesterday showed that
such an awful condition as at first was
reported did not exist. The scribe who
wrote the hrst article went TO the res
ervoir again, and the obnoxious things
had been cleaned up and carted away
and hidden in some obscure nook.
\ few rhetorical passages about dead
mems bones and the like in a reservoir
in Tennessee were thrown into the ar
ticle. but on the whole nothing alarm
ing was revealed. If the impure articles
and dense odors which were suggestive
to the reporter of a hog wallow, ma
laria, scarlet fever and such unpleas-
antness, could all be carted away so
readily, people reflected that they need
not be alarmed, and SO, with the as
surance from every druggist in the city
that the water is reasonably pure, as
published in The Herald, people rested
easv and drank water.
A Standard'reporter, nursing little
bottle under his arm, visited several of
the drug stores, and received the as
surance that the conglCmeration in the
bottle was certainly impure, but that
the water coming through the taps to
the drug stores is reasonably pure.
