MRS. POTT'S LECTURES.
Continue to Attract Large Audiences
Up to Their Close.

DR.. Longshore-Potts, in her lecture
Thursday afternoon, touched upon several
points of interest to all women. One was
the much discussed servant girl problem.
She believes that mistresseS should show
more consideration for their maids; treat
them human beings, give them place
in which to receive their company and not
force them to walk the streets. and they
will be better both morally and physi-
cally.
The care of children and their proper
amusements We're considered at length.
The English plan of having a fixed age
for the advent of children into society and
fixed hours for their work and play is
pOrtant facts concerning their own make
up and then impart it to their children.
Another point touched upon should in
tereSt eVeryOne-mannerS at the table;
avoid discussions business other
Vexed questions; light, cheerful conversa-
ton, of interest to everyone present, and
happy. smiling faces are two of the best
aids to digestion.
Catarrh, she said. makes a fertile ground
for the seeds of consumption. one of the
most prevalent and fatal diseases. CT
tarrh itself is caused by the wearing of
tight garments, going out evenings in low
necked gowns, thin-SOled shoes and many
other careless habits.
DR.. Potts displayed a rich elegance in
the choice of her costumes and has rot ap-
peared in the same one twice. Thursday
she wore a combination of black silk and
old point lace with a few diamond orna-
mentS. This afternoon she is delivering
her last lecture, but she expects to remain
in the city until next Wednesday, when
she will go to st. Joe.

PRACTICAL FARM EDUCATION
Is What the Agricultural College
Wants to Provide for Kan
sas Farmers.

While the senate ways and means
committee has approved of appropria-
t1ons for the state agricultural college
to the amount of $125, 900, it has scaled
down the principal item from $4,000 to
one-third that amount. The friends of
the college feel that they are entitled
to more consideration, inasmuch as the
state university has already had appro-
priations passed amounting to $3.50. goo.
The $4,000 was asked for a new agri-
cultural and physics building combined.
In the agricultural building will be the
newly eSta bliShed dairy school, which
will accomplish great things for the
state if the experience of other states
along this line is any criterion. The
committee decided, however, that 5000
was enough to put into this building,
and that amount will be appropriated
for it. An appropriation of $4,000 will
also be made for the purchase of dairy
herd.
Kansas farmers market their products
in competition with the products of the
farmers of all other states. They have
better natural advantages than the
farmers in most of the other states but
our neighbors are making up what they
lack in natural advantages by pro-
viding thorough training in agricultural
lines. New York, for example, pays
special attention in her dairy school
to cheese making with the result that
New York dairymen pay freight on
Kansas grains, feed these grains in a
cold climate with forage raised by the
H6lp Oh cOIlfuefcIdI I0fIll1ZGrS ana nldn-
ufacture the milk into cheese, while
Kansas buys hundreds of carloads of
this extensively produced cheese, pay
ing the return freight; and all because
her cheese makers are not educated.
The few Kansas cheese makers who do
know how to make cheese produce an
article equal to the best quality pro-
duced in New York; and our short grass
is particularly favorable to the produc-
ton of fine cheese. This is only one Of
the many instances of where Kansas
tural education.
New York has spent $50, 900 on a dairy
building, Wisconsin has spent $40, 900,
Minnesota 100000, while up to the pres
ent time Kansas has spent nothing.
New York spends annually SIS 900 for
farmers Institutes, Wisconsin and Min
nesota each spend $4,000 while Kansas
has been spending nothing. An apprO-
priation of 81, 900 will be made for this
purpose if the legislature does not knock
it out.
A dozen states spend from $4,000 to
$4,000 each year in farm experiments,
but the great agricultural state of Kan
sas does not spend one cent in this line.
These are some of the things that the
friends of the agricultural college wish
the legislature to provide for in the
interest of the practical education of
the farmers. The college itself, how
ever, is crowded to it's utmost limit.
We have reached that point said
President Will to Journal reporter.
where either the state will have to
provide more room for the students
who come or we shall have to turn them
away The school has grown until
every department is crowded to it's
limit" %.

SENATE TAKES ACTION
On the Death of President Faure o.
France.

Washington, Feb. ia bill granting
to the Pasadena and Mount Wilson
through the San Gabriel forest reserve,
California, was passed soon after the
senate convened.
Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) addressing the sen,
ate said the very sad information had
been transmitted to this country by
cable of the death of President Faure
of the French republic. He thought 1t
fitting that the senate should make
some expression upon the death of Pres
ident Faure. 1t was not unlikely, he
thought the incident might give trouble,
not only to France, but to the entire
world He then offered the following
resolution which was adopted:
THAT the vice president of the United
States, president of the senate, is re-
quested to express to the government
and people of France the sympathy of
the senate of the United States in the
bereavement that has SO suddenly fallen
upon that republic in the death of Pres1-
dent Faure."

SENATE PASSES TwINE BILL.
This Worthy Measure Pretty Sure of
Plain Sailing.

The proposition to establish a binding
Irvine factory at the state penitentiary
was adopted in the senate today by the
passage of the bill prepared and intro
duced by the special committee selected
for this work
The original bill provided for the gen.
eral sale of the product at the factory
Senator Farrelly offered an amendment
to provide for the sale of the product
only within the state.
Senator Crossan's substitute for this.
first to give preference to residents of
the state in the sale of Irvine and then
open the market to other states, was
adopted.
The money to sustain the revolving
fund of $150,000 for the purchase of raw
material will be raised either by the is
suance of bonds or time scrip.
Senator Forney asked for the adoption
of an additional section to the bill, pro-
viding that the profit upon the manu-
facture of Irvine be equally divided be-
tween the state and the convictS.
This was Immediately killed, and as
the clock struck - the bill was passed
without a dissenting vote.
The senate then adjourned.

under escort of Sergeant-at-Arms J. B.

Smith of the Massachusetts senate, well
coined the distinguished guest and in
troduced him. AS the president arose
hall and cheer upon cheer rang out.
When it was possible for him to be
heard the president spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the General Court {:
Although limited for time, L could not
deny myself the honor of accepting the
invitation officially extended by joint
resolution of your honorable body, which
1 had the pleasure of receiving from
senator, George F. Hoar.
Il am glad to be on this historic
ground. 1t revives memories sacred in
American life. It recalls the struggles
of the founders of Massachusetts, for
liberty and independence. Their unSelf-
fish sacrifices, their dauntless courage,
are the inspiration of all lovers of free
dom, everywhere, their lives and char
and have stimulated the lost aspira-
lions of American manhood.
I'm the beginning of our national ex-
istence and even before, this was the
home and fountain of liberty. 1t is the
home of liberty now, and I am sure
that what those great men of the past
secured for US the people would have
us transmit not only to our descend
ants, but carry to oppressed peoples
whose interests and welfare by the for
tunes of war are committed to u.s.

A Santa Fe Shop Man Resents Insin-

Frank Ford of the First ward, who has
worked in the Santa Fe shops for years.
said today:
The fight being made on Paddy Belts
has worked for fifteen years at the bench
in the shops until his hands are as hard
the iron he handled. 1t is the same
siush they have used for years against
every shopman who has taken an interest
worked six months in the Santa Fe shops
knows that no man can influence any con-
siderable number of shopmen, and Paddy
Belts would be the first man TO denounce
anyone that made a claim TO the contrary
They knOW little of the temper of the
intelligent workmen in the Santa Fe shops
or the situa ton there when they try to
convey the impression that the foremen
are going to drive their men to the polls
to vote for Brooks. The men cannot be
driven, and no foreman in the shops will
attempt it"
