FERD. PECK'S DEMAND.
Says United States Has Not Near
Enough Room at Paris
Exposition.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 10.-Ferdinand w.
Peck, United States commissioner gen
eral to the Paris exposition, in his
speech at the Algonquin club banquet,
said:
Although we have succeeded in OBJ
tanning our fair proportion of exhibit
space for the American section, yet our
allotment is grossly inadequate, and
those intrusted with the responsibility
must make a constant struggle in the
direction of careful selection and ev-
IRENE condensation, and out of the Q :
mands for space, which in the asgre-
gate are already beyond that at our
command, we must retain only the ex-
hibits that are the best.
This is a period of national expan-
sion. In the recent strife with foreign
power we have successfully fought for
humanity. The booming of the guns
of Admiral Dewey at Manila have
Numbered around the earth and
awakened all civilization to the fact
that the great American republic now
reaches across the globe, and the nation
of the new century is rising on this side
preaching peace festival in France is
most opportIne, enabling, as it will our
manufacturers and producers to place
the resources and wares of our nation
before the 60 million of visitors repre-
senting the peoples of the earth and
thus will our commercial interests keep
step with our geographical expansion;
and thus will a century's growth in our
great republic be represented to hu-
mainly. for the United States has con-
tributed more in men, in thought and
in achievement in the progress CT the
nineteenth century-far mOrsthan any
other nation of the world"

FIGHTING IMPERIALISM.
Old Gov. Boutwell, Points Backward
to American Worthless Who
Were "Agin" It

Salem, Mass. Jan. 1O.-Ex-Governor
George s Boutwell, lectured before the Es-
sex institute on imperialism Cover
nor Boutwell, reviewed the preliminaries to
the recent war from the standpoint of ma
uonal questions and then said:
The question that / to answer is
this: What can the imperialistS offer for
the seizure, possession and occupation of
the Philippine islands, as that work is
dent?. My answer may be found in a
single sentence: Recognize the pledges
that were made in April last, by congress
and by the president. and retire from
Porto Rico and the Philippines in obedi-
ence to those pledges. From the presi-
dents message. but more distinctly from
MS general policy, We are to infer that
what has been done is to be accepted and
Justified and that the abandonment of the
Philippines is not to be considered.
The arrangement of August II. 1885,
should have been a comprehensive peace.
Having secured the independence of Cuba,
our duty as a nation according to our
own theory of duty, has been performed
fully. Spain had neither the disposition
nor the capacity for further hostilities. If
when the protocol was signed the Ques ton
of disposal OF the Philippines had been
eliminated, then war and all the appre-
tensions of war would have disappeared
at once"
In conclusion he said: 1.-THE task to
which | invite the fmperiaHsts is this:
RECONCILE your plan for the government of
Mr. Lincoln, or. if to you the task should
seem to be easier one, then demon
strate the unsoundness of the principles
laid down by him."

ANEGRO'S GREAT WORK.
Booker T. Washington a Moses to
Help His Race.

In the black belt, at Tuskegee, Ala,
Booker T. Washington for II years has
been evolving a great industrial college
and turning out young men and women
trained TO enter the professions and trades.
Thanks to him, colored teachers, black
smiths, engineers, carpenters, dairymen,
wagon-makers, bricklayers, stone-masons.
nurses, house servants and what-not, by
the hundred, are employed throughout the
south.
Every one of the men and women who
owe their knowledge and skill to Booker
Washington is a missionary among his
people, for each of these graduates ex-
cites ambition in the more humbly placed
negroes round about to achieve like ad-
vancement either for themselves or for
their children.
No man in this country deserves praise
and encouragement more than this Moses,
who is pointing the way for his race to
reach the promised land. He is not I'M
mindful of the political aspect of the ne
gro problem, nor blind to the fact that in
remedy press upon his people upon the
poor whites But he is above everything
a practical man and gives the best thought
of his good brain and the most of his re-
marka bic energy to raising the status of
the individual negro who shows exception
al desire and capacity for Improvement.
While others talk he works, and one of
his graduates is worth more to the ne
grOes of the south than any number of
eloquent convention speecheS.-NeW York

MR.. SWIFT TESTIFIES.
Head of the Big Packing Establish.
ment at Washington.

Washington, Jan. 1o.-C. F. Swift. the
head of the firm of Swift & Co., of Chi
cagO, appeared before the war investi-
cation commission yesterday. Mr.. Swift,
at the request of the commission, went
into a general description Of the beef
business from the time the cattle reach
ed the stockyards till they were deliver
ed to the retail butcher shops. This
testimony had been largely anticipated
by the recital of his superintendent, Mr..
Wilder. earlier in the day.
The quality of beef sent to Cuba and
Porto Rico, Mr.. Swift said, was just
about the quality demanded by the New
Yory trade.
Regarding chemicals, Mr.. Swift said
most positively that he had never used
them in all his 40 years experience as a
butcher, and he knew of no chemical
that could be used with advantage,
either to the seller or to the consumer.

THE CHOOSING HUSBAND
There Must Be Likeness in Mental
and Moral Fibre Says This
Authority.

[From the Woman's Home Companion.
Not seldom it happens that a mutual
attraction springs into being between
two people widely dissimilar in tastes
and habits. And undoubtedly there is
some subtle affinity between opposites.
Yet there must be likeness as well as
unkkeness- The latter will lend Pig
nancy which is pleasant, but the former
will give peace which is essential.
Perhaps a man who is deeply and
widely read may lose his heart to a
girl whose favorite book Is Little
Goldie's Temptation; or, the Romance
of Factory Girl" DIR. Holmes says,
THE brain woman never interests US
like the heart woman" and yet, would
not this man be lonesome? To whom
would he read aloud with rapture some
especially fine passage which had found
an echo in his heart? To whom would
he talk about all those dear book peo-
pie who seem so real to him? This side
of his nature would live in utter soil
tude. and would that be well? Would
he not long for the companionship of
some one with whom he could discuss
those subjects in which he was mostly
interested?
Again, a girl trimming over with
music may marry a man whose taste
for harmony is entirely satisfied by
Sweet Marie as rendered on a hand
organ.
At first love itself all alI-sufieing,
but a little later the individual char
acteristics reassert themselves, and
then in the absence of comprehension
and sympathy in ones pet tastes and
theories barrier springs up, slight, IN
confessed perhaps. but still impossible
and in one sense at least man and wife
are not "one," but distinctly two"
Before you say the fateful yes mark
well your lovers way of settling little
matters of right and wrong OF most
vital Importance in marriage is 1t that
the moral natures of husband and wife
be of like fiber An INSCRIPTIONS ma
ture can never truly mate with a high
minded one no matter how closely they
agree in tastes, habits and mental pur-
suits. The nobler nature VIII be con-
stantly crucified by those traits in the
other which reveal a willingness to de-
scend to little cheats and subterfuges;
or a cowardly covering up of personal
faults with petty Geceits.

FROM THE PORTICO
T. A. Boo and John Bowers Step
OFF and Are Dreadfully
Hurt.

T. A. Boo and John Bowers fell from
the south portico of the state house last
evening. Bowers struck on his head,
causing conclusion of the brain, and
BOO's hip was broken.
The patrol wagon was called and the two
men were taken to the police station.
where a doctor was summoned Later
Bowers was taken to a restaurant
lower Kansas avenue and Boo was re-
moved in an ambulance to Christ hospital
Boo lives in SavOnsburg. Kan, and Bow
ers in Topeka, and is a tailor by trade.
The two men were walking along the
portico and thought they were going in
the direction of the steps, when suddenly
they both stepped off and fell to the
ground, a distance of about twenty feet.
They fell from the same place that the
two soldiers fell from last spring. There
is no railing there and nothing to guard
against people walking off. Bowers mind
was a blank and he remembered nothing
prior to the fall. Boo was able to tell
but little and said that he was following
Bowers and saw him walk off, but that
he was walking so fast that he stepped off
before he could stop himself. The two
men threatened to bring suit for damages
against the state for not having railing
around the portico for the protection of
people who might be walking there They
were not Intoxicated.

TWO SUSPECTS NOW
In Connection With the Cornish
Poisoning Case.

New York, Jan. 1o.-The Herald says:
Two persons are now suspected by the
police of having had some connection
with the Barnet and Cornish poisoning
cases From indications at police head
quarters yesterday it seemed probable
that some important move was in con-
temptation, but whether or not arrests
will be made today or tomorrow re-
mains to be seen. Captain McClusky OF
the detective bureau yesterday gave to
William J. Kinsley, the handwriting
expert he has employed, some addi-
tionaI letters and envelopes
Some of the letters given to Mr.. ktns-
lev were written by a person who is
suspected to almost as great an extent
as is a man who has been mentioned
in connection with the case.
Mr. Kinsley refused to say whether
this suspect was man or a woman,
but he admitted among the specimens
of this suspects handwriting were some
envelopes addressed to Harry Cornish
There is still some uncertainty as to
whether the body of Barnet will be ex-
humed for the purpose of ascertaining
if it contains traces of cyanide of mer-
curry.
