PEACE CRUSADE
CARS IDEA TO BE PROMOTED
BY A GREAT Pill
GRIMAGE.
Peace Army to Form in America and
End in Russia-WtT T. Stead, Famous
English Journalist. Actively In
terested.-Crusaders to Visit Every
Nation.

London, Dec. l3.-Welllam L. stead
the famous English journalist, fresh
from his two Interviews with the car
at Lividia, will tomorrow announce, in
his magazine, the Review Of Reviews,
the thrilling program OF "A great pill
grimage of peace through all nations
beginning at San Francisco and end
ing at st. Petersburg"
| know that the car is overwhelmed
with modification at the apparent ap-
athy in England and America to his
holy war against wars" and I believe
this world wide pilgrimage is to be
quite separate from official conference
hitherto announced, Stead has prac-
.tically abandoned al his work and con-
centrated his best thoughts on his idea.
Here is his OWE description:
Between December Is and February
1, it is hoped that eve center Of popu-
lation in Great Britain and America
pople of all classes will have been
gathered under their local leaders to
express in a formal resolution their
determination that the peace confer
enc shall be made a success, and to APP
point local committees for the further
ance Of the conference.
From zach of these local commit
tees one delegate will be chosen to
serve on the joint national committee of
the two English-speaking narons. The
Anglo-American national committees,
it is proposed, should appoint a joint
deputation to have. say twenty menu
bers, fifteen men and five women Tel
of these will be chosen from the United
States, THE other q being represen-
tatives of English speakers across the
Atlantic, among whom Canadians
would naturally find a place.
This d%eputation would convey to
the czar before the conference opens
assurance tina, The has behind him in
hts b~enefcient enterprise the immense
force OF the English speaking race, and
secondly, while on their way to St.
Petersburg, to make a pilgrimage OF
peace throughout Europe.
This pilgrimage would serve as an
International rallying point Of a new
crusade in every land.
when the American representatives
arrive in London their appearance will
naturally be the occasion for a lemon
stration Of race unity, the like Of which
has not yet been seen In the English
speaking world. There will be recep-
lions, banquets and a colossal lemon
stration in Albert hall. Then after
waiting upon the queen and Lord Sails
bury, the great pilgrimage Of peace will
start on it's beneficent tour Through the
continent"
actual plan of subjects to be considered
by the official peace conference.
First-Truce Of God for five OF ten
years.
Second-Halt or arrest of ornaments
for a similar period.
Third-An International agreement
by all powers, that, in case OF disputes
arising during the truce OF God, fu-
ture ~disputants bind themselves not to
declare war until they have invoked
mediation of friendly powers, who
| should, in all cases have full oppor-
tunity of intervening in the interests
of peace before a last resort is made
to the sword.

A Golf Story.

At a dinner party not long ago a GER
tain young gentleman Tan enthusiastic
GOLFER started in with the shellfish to
enunerate to his partner the details OF
a match that he had been playing that
day, says w. G. Van Tassell Sutphen
in The independent. 1t was not until
the pudding was brought on that he
suddenly bethought himself that he had
been doing all the salking. Indeed, the
young lady had not said a single word
during the entire progress of the meal.
1t was possible that she was no inter-
ested in the subject-incredible, but
still possible.
II am afraid that / have been boring
you with this talk of the shop" he said
in half apology.
"Oh, no, not at all, was the polite
response. "Only what is golf"

Is the money that 10 tied up in the bank

Austin Is Already Making Prepare
lions for the singers.
Austin, Texas. December 25.-Ever since
the year 1853 THE German American singing
associations OF the State OF Texas have
held biennial meetings and celebrated their
State SaengeTfests at different cities, with
the exception Of the years during which
the civil war prevailed. The next grand
Saengerfest Is to be held in Austin in April
or May. 1900, and it is the intention of the
local singers to make it the grandest fes-
tival THAT has ever been hisdd since the
Year 1858, as many associations from other
States have promised 10 participate therein
and enjoy the opportunity to visit the great
Stats of Texas at q time when every field
and garden is covered with growing crops
and blooming flowers, while in their north
elm homes all nature is covered with melt
ing snow.
The initiatory steps for the celebration
were taken on last Thursday, when the
Austin singers and lovers of music held
their first meeting 10 organize. Judge
Julius Schutze, who participated in the
first Saengerfest at New Braunfels in 1861
was unanimously nominated as president,
but nl0dostly declined the honor and NOM
mated Mr.. Walter Tips for the position.
Mr. Tips. however, insisted upon the nomi-
nation Of Judge Schutze, and the latter
was elected by reclamation. Mr.. August
Giessn was elected recording secretary: HI.
Bobn corresponding secretary; w. B. Wor-
than. treasurer. and Piof. William Bes-
serer, musical director.
The following were elected as chairmen
of The different committees:
Finance, George p. Assman; music Wal
ter Tips; arrangement, Walker Jacoby: dec
Grafton. Harry Zier; reception, Julius
Schutze, Jr.; public comfort Ed Schutze;
transportation, William Bonn; press. Rich
ard Bulian. Each chairman is to select
his own committee and report to a meet
ing OF the executive committee on Janu-
airy 20. 1899.
This grand festival in 1900, in which
about 1000 singers from the State of Texas
and various parts OF the Union will partiei-
pate, is by no means restricted to any spe-
cial nationality. but will be given by Amer
lean as wen as German vocal associations
Besides this, a grand orchestra will be en-
gagged to furnish the best instrumental
music that has ever been heard in Texas.
