MT Mckinley reverted often in his con-
Versation TO his desire to maintain peace.
ana dwelt upon the fact that war meant
not only the loss of life and property
but that II also would injure our com
merce, disturb business conditions gene

our pension roll. and result in many ways
to our disadvantage and distress. lie
also made il clear that whatever course
ne might pursue in the future, ne would
not at present demand any indemnity
Maine, preferring 10 leave that matter
to the adjustment of a more quiet
period. The President also spoke of
possible complications with other nations
but did not manifest any uneasiness on
this score.
SENATE SUPPORT
Senators who have visited the Presi-
dent have, without exception. so far as
can be learned, assured him that the
Senate appreciates his efforts to preserve
peace under proper conditions, and have
told him that there is no danger Of pre-
cipitate action in that body. They get
the impression that if the worst comes,
and it is absolutely determined that no
other course will avail, the President
will be found ready for armed interven-
tion.
on the score OF politics, he assures
them that he would rather see the Repub-
lican party fail of future success than TO
wage an unjust war; but if war must
come, it must be war for humanity,
and in this event he win have the entire
nation behind him In a conflict at arms.

A Tcutunic Gretna Green.

Since Heligoland was coded to Ger
many, it has become a sort of Gretna
Green, for there loving couples from
the fatherland can be most eXpedi-
tiously m~arried-in fact, between the
arrival and departure of the CuXhaven
boat. 1t is said that Pastor Schroeder,
who conducts the marriage ceremonies,
can perform a marriage in five seconds,
so the formalities must necessarily be
of the simplest. Herr Schroeder has
no rival, or fear of one, for, somehow,
he has obtained Il monopoly of these
weddings until the year 1913. The rev.
orend gentleman is much more particu-
lar as to whom he marries than was
the old blacksmith of Gretna Green,
and he asks certain questions which
the candidates for matrimony are
obliged to reply to Oh oath. He de-
clines to have anything to do with Wild
ows or widowers, divorced persons or
would-be bigamists.-Black and White.

top. It's interior decoration is rlcn,
chaste and harmonious all through.
Built for use, it is practical and com
modious in all it's parts.
With the library is combined a me-
mortal hall and sundry smaller rooms
for the use of the various Grand Army
Posts of Chicago and Cook county.
These occupy the Randolph street sec
ton of the building above the first
floor. The entrance that will be used
for reaching the library will be that
in Washington street, probably. Here
is found a most magnificent staircase
of nure Carrara marble leading direct
Iv to the various departments of the
library. while over it is a magnificent
dome.
The first room off the staircase is the
circulating room, magnificent in its
nroportions. Above that are the read
ing and reference rooms, also commo-
dious in every respect. The rooms are
all ~abundantly lighted by numerous
feet in length. Provision for keepine
it open at night has been made, and il
will be flooded with light from thou
sands of electric lamps.
An interesting fact in the building
of the library is that so much marble
of one quality was required that thu
quarries in Italy could not keep pace
with the demand of the builders, ant
several times work on it was stopped
for periods of months to wait for ma
terial.

Concerning the change to the 24-hour
system of time notation on Belgian
railways, the minister of state railways
issues the following notice: The nam
ing of the hours of the day will be made
from 0 to "a. BY reason of the adop-
ton of this new regulation, the indica-
ton M (matin-morning) and S (soir
evening" appearing in the official
railway guide will be suppressed. The
minutes comprised between midnight
and / o'clock in the morning, such as
1902, 1918 and 12:47, will be indicated
by a zero followed by a period and by
the number of minutes corresponding,
viz, O.2, Ola and 0.47. Midday will be
always indicated by IL. Midnight will
be indicated, according to the circum-
stances, by 0 or "a. For a train which
leaves a station exactly at midnight, it
will be written that it leaves at 0 of the
day during which the train is in move
ment. For a train which arrives at
a station exactly at midnight, it will
be written that.i it arrives at "a of the
day during which the train has been in
movement. The dials of all the station

ton of the figures 10, IA, q = + "a

THE REVENGE'S SEA FIGHT,

In the newly published work, The
Royal Navy" the following account Is
given of the fight of the Revenge,
which suggested to Tennyson one OF his
most stirring ballads:
In 1891, off Flores, in the Azores,
Lord Tomas Howard was lying in
wait with his squadron to capture the
treasure ships of Spain: HE narrowly
escaped being surprised there by Don
Alonzo de Bazan, who had been sent
out with a fleet of f%fty-three ships to
meet and convoy home the expected
carracks. The Earl of Cumberland as
has been mentioned above, a happen
ed to learn of the fitting out OF this
fleet at Corunna, and had, with much
foresight, ordered Mr.. Middleton, mas
ter of the M%oonshine %.pinnace, to dis
cover its force and object, ana then, II

A Daurcrou. Practice

Young persons, especially young wo.
men, who are particular about their
personal appearance, are given to much
worry over moles and similar facial
blemishes, and often resort to severe
applications in the hope Of removing
them. Their efforts are usually fruit
less unless they employ a surgeon, who
makes a clean and scientific excelsior.
The danger of irritating these growths
IS not generally understood. Several
cases are on record where accidental
bruises have resulted in spreading the
growth. In one instance the mole de-
veloped enormous spreading tenden-
cies, covering the entire surface of the
body, resulting, finally, in death. Ply
sicians frequently warn their patients
that such blemishes should not be in
terfered with, but rarely do they insist
with sufficient earnestness. The fact
is that q mole is a potential sarcoma,
and if disturbed at all it should be
completely remoyed.-New York Ledg-

A School for RniIroadIng.

A novel proposition was made not long
ago to the Receivers of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad. The b. & O.. has a branch
running from what is known as Alexan-
dria Junction, near Washington, to Shep-
herds, on the Potomac River, where a
car ferry is operated in connection with
the lines leading soEth from the Capital.
A professor of an Eastern college desired
to lease this short stretch of track for the
purpose of educating young men In prac-
teal railroad work. In his letter he eX-
planned that he thought there was a wide
field for bright and energetic boys who
practical side of railroading provided they
could be educated on a regular line Of
road. He believed that by the employ
ment of veteran railroad men as teachers
that the boys could profitably spend two
or three years working as trainmen, fire.
men, engineers, switchmen, station agents
ard in other capacities required in the
railroad service. AS this branch of the
b.. & o. is of considerable value, the Re
ceivers were compelled to decline the
offer.

Like the gowns of the past winter,
the cold-weather frocks will show elab-
Oroately-trimmed skirts, and a strong
suggestion of the double o. overskirt
has found it's way to some of the new
est and handsomest creations for both
house and street wear. This effect is,
however, being brought about by a
trimming of some kind employed so as
to give the desired effect without the
additional weight of al Overdress

women will fight against and positive
