NOT ANY IN THEIRS.
Irish Societies Resolve Against A1li-
ence With England.

New York, May 31.-The Ancient Or
der of Hibernians held it's fiftieth an
nual convention in this city in affilia-
ton with the Board of Erin, the parent
organization of ireland.
After electing officers for the ensuing
year the convention adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
THE national delegates of the Ancient
Order of TIibernians in utilization with
the Board of Erin denounce any alliance
of the United States with any foreign
power. Especially do they denounce an
alliance with England, who finding her
self isolated from the rest of Europe
and not being able to make catspaW
of any nation of the European continent
is trying to use this land of freedom in
despoiling and keeping under her yoke
countries and nations that ought to be
free.
1.-The Irish people, who have suffered
from English oppression for centuries
and thousands of whom have fought for
American independence and union and
have contributed to the success of this
great and glorious republic protest en-
ergetically against any entangling al
lance with England and believe that
the United States is great and strong
and intelligent enough to hold it's own
against any foreign foe that might
threaten it without the aid of England.

RELMONT'S IMPRESSION.

TFrorn the New York World.]
"At the kind invitation of the commit
tee in charge of this remarkable polltl-
cal gathering, [ have come as New
York Democrat to meet the Democrats
of Missouri and their guests from the
great states of the west and south NO
man could fail to be impressed WITH
the vast power of Democratic sentiment
represented in the mighty assembly
which 1 have had the honor to observe
tonight. 1t is known to all these gen
tlemen that with one article OF oeheI,
dear to their hearts, 1 do not quite
agree. 1 refer, of course, to the coinage
of silver at the ratio of ,16 to L My well
come could not have been more hearty
if 1 had been conspicuously in accord
with them upon that belief. This gen.
erous welcome has assured me that the
western and southern Democrats are
not bitter or exclusive in feeling, but
have a liberal sense of fellowship with
every member of the party who follows
the recognized rules of party action
1T is clear to me, from observation
at their dinner and from conversation
with a great number of prominent n1en
during the afternoon, that these western
and southern Democrats are honest in
their desire to do battle with any evils
which threaten the individual rights of
the American citizen. They are con-
fident in the belief that they are thor
oughly right, and they are conscious
of a strength which they sincerely hope
to use for the betterment of their fell
low-citiZenS in all parts of the country.
LAS an eastern Democrat, am, in
the presence of this great body of man
hood, constrained to admit that, being
less bound by tradition and habits, per-
haps, than we of the east, they see the
new evils which arise from new condi-
tions more quickly and clearly than we.
If this is so, while we may not agree
in detail with all their expressions, we
must be willing to accept from them
leadership in some lines of thought.
and certainly, we must be willing to de-
pend upon them for no small part of the
actual strength out of which victory is
made These men have the quality of
strength, physical and mental, and with
strength they have also the quality of
sound intention.
Il am struck with the number of con-
servative and reputable business men
who are active figures on this occasion
and who, evidently, have much to do

CLAIMED BY TWO WOMEN.
Trouble Over the Body of Waterloo
Wreck Victim.

Waterloo, Iowa, May 31-Two women
are claiming the body of Edwin J. Par
ker, who was killed in the wreck on
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern railroad near here Sunday morning
The body now lies in the morgue here
One of the claimants is Mrs. F. J.
Barker, the widow of the dead man and
she is now on her way from Hot
Springs, Ark, to take charge of the re-
mains.
The other claimant is Miss Ida Shad-
vile, of Niehart, Mont, who arrived in
Waterloo last night. She declares that
Barker was to have met her in Mime
apolis Sunday and they were to have
been married yesterday. She identified
the remains as those of her prospective
bridegroom. A special from Hot
Springs says that Mrs. Barker came
there with her husband from Montana
several months ago. They were mar
ried a year ago at Butte Her husband
was a man of considerabl wealth, be-
ing interested in extensive mining in
terests at Great Falls and other points
in Montana
Mrs. Barker knows nothing as yet of
the dual nature of her husband

WILL SURPASS ALL OTHERS
New York Prediction of Uncle Sans
Display at St Louis

Washington, May 31.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Times states in his paper:
When the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition is held in St. Louis it is expected
by government officers who are inter-
esting themselves in the preparations
for it that the government exhibit will
quite overshadOw anything offered by
private contributors and it will sur
pass even the best government exhibits
yet prepared. including that at the Chi
cago exposition in 1893.
Those who have looked into the mat
ter believe that the government cannot
only show a fine display to illustrate
the political development of the nation
but that its war, navy, historical min
ing, electrical and transportation de-
partments may be very complete and
organized and classified in a superior
manner. The St. Louis people to whom
this view of the coming event has been
presented offer every induGement to
have it perfected, and as soon as a de-
termination is reached the necessary
government officer will be chosen to
prepare a scheme, and then the exhibit
for Uncle Sam will be arranged in de-
tail. The show of war relics at the
next international or interstate exhibit
ton will prove highly interesting

GRAPE-:NUTS.
A New and Highly Nutritious FL

A New and Highly Nutritious Food.
The odd sounding name is used to
designate a peculiar food, made not ex-
actly in the shape of nuts, but having
a pleasant, nutty flavor and crisp brit
tleness that makes them a charming
favorite with the palate.
OF yet more value than the taste is
the food value of Grape-Nuts. They
are largely composed of grape-sugar
(your dictionary can tell you about
thaD and those who use them will find
the morning meal has not only been
pleasant, but has been quickly and east
ly digested; for grape-sugar is an arti-
Gle produced in the human body at one
stage of the digestion of food and is
at once ready for transformation into
good healthy blood and nourishment
1t should not be understood that the
grape-sugar, of which Grape-Nuts is
made, has been produced in the human
body But this grape-sugar is made
by much the same process as the body
employs, and is produced by natural
treatment of grains without any for
eign substance whatever. 1t is made by
the Postum Co. at Battle Creek, Mich
The result is perhaps the most highly
nutritious food ever produced.
Grocers keep Grape-Nuts.

A MINISTER'S DISTINCTION
DE-. CountermiDe Explains the Good
Citizenship Movement

To the Editor of the State Journal
In last evenings issue of your excel

ing and instructive article under the
caption, Churches in Politics." refer
euce being had to the new federation
movement. So far as is known this i'm
portant movement has not been sub
nitted to the vote of any church. The
churches as churches are not in it, The
movement originated with few young
men who have secured the hearty en-
dorsement and cooperation of many of
the young peoples societies connected
with our churches The distinction be
tween churches and Christians may not
seem to be a very important one, but it
is The church and state must in this
country be kept forever apart, but not
the state and Christianity. Christianity
is much more comprehensive than the
church No rational individual can ever
expect that philosophy, science. litera-
ture, art, business, private and social
life, are ever to become ecclesiastical,
but it is most evident that they are to
become Christian. 1t is toward this
sublime end that our young people are
working. Enthusiastically many of them
are far apart, but their federation is
pervaded with just one divine principle.
and that principle is the fundamental
principle of Christianity. This of itself
is sufficient to guarantee the success of
the movement 1t must succeed. There
can be in the mind of no sane man any
doubt about this. Right must and Will
ultimately triumph. Add to this the
fact that it is our young people who
have inaugurated this movement, and
the argument becomes most convincing
We, who are older will soon pass away,
but those who are in this movement
have many years before them, and like
Grant and Funston, they propose to
push the battle to the finish. and they
will do it for right, humanity and God
are on their side. Cordially.

Recent Events Appear to Have So

New York, May 31.-A special to the
Tribune from Paris says:

cluSion of Ballot Beaupre'S report tacit-

Dreyfus, marks the complete revulsion
of popular sentiment in this country
since the days of the Zola trial. Even
Deroulede'S trial and his magnificent
plea for a plebiscitary republic, which
onIy a short time ago would have
thrown Paris into uproar and confusion,
is reduced to insignificance by the
solemnity of what has taken place to-
day at the court of cessation.
Crowds on the boulevards tonight
seem as if they were awakening from
some hypnotic trance and ask them
selves how could theY have been vic
timized by such an apparently stupen-
dous error.
Attempts made by nationalists and
other professional agitators to trans
form Marchand into another Boulanger

gallant officer and explorer can not now
be worked up into an anti-republican

revulsion of the popular feeling with eX-
