ganization. Briefly the plan
approved calls for three
members of the state committee
from each congressional district,
to be chosen by the delegates
from each district to the Repub.
lican state nominating conven-
ton. The chairman of the con-
vention is toappointa chairman,
secretary and treasurer for
the committee, who may or may
not be elected members. Thus
the committee may number
twenty-four persons. An auxili-
airy member of the committee or,
more correctly speaking, a sort
of executive agent for the state
committee in each county is to
be chosen by the delegates from
each county to the state conven-
ton. The three committee
members for each congressional
district will constitute a sub
committee to look after state
ticket interests in their respec!
tive parts of the state. The
member who is elected

mittees of three is 10 be a mem

General Weyler's reconcentrado

General Weyler's reconcentrado
scheme is 70 be adopted by Gen. Rob

to be huddled in the towns, and a
surveillance over them about as strict
as prison discipline is to be main

1t was the 1ecorcent1ado system as
carried out in Cuba that riled Uncle

peace III the island within a certain
time, or the Great America would

While the reconceutrado system has
not been 1esorted to in the Philip
pines, the war and bloodshed goes on
just the same under Uncle Sam as
under the Spanish rule. 1t is a pity
that there is no power to tell John

DEATH OF OSCAR WILDE.

Yesterdays dispatches announce
the oath OF Oscar Wilde in an OBJ
scure corner in Paris. His spirit and
healti, were broken by imprisonment,
and his literary career was ruined in
his punishment. His poems will
live after him, and only the better
side OF his nature will be considered
in the Libraries of the world. The
following poem, entitled "Helasr
is from his pen:

Can play,
Is it for this that have given away

With idle songs for pipe and vire-

BAD TASTE IN PULLMAN CARS,
Their Interior Decorations Show the
Most GlarinE and Grossest In
harmOnies of Color.

In Ladies' Home journal Edward
BOX sharply criticises the interior
decorations of Pullman cars as ga rio,
OF bad taste" that is absolutely mex
cusable, for 'the Pullman companv n
he contends, ''is rich corporation
which can have what it wills. If good
taste does not exist in it's furnisbiny
department, as indisputably seems to
be the case, the company can and
should buy it. For the same amounts
now expended on these cars. effects of
harmony and of truly artistic draperv
could be obtained which would be n
credit to the company. These cars
could have an incalculable influence nm
ahe community. The new cars which
Ihe company constantly builds could.
better than any other medium that I
know Of, be made to reflect in a pano-
ramlc manner the newest and most
progressive steps made in artistic deco
ration and furnishing. They could he
made the most effective travelling edu-
Gators of the public. Instead, they are
simply vehicles of the worst taste i'm
aginable-in fact, of no taste whatever
AS amazing conglomerations of the
most glaring and grossest inharmonies
OF color, they stand absolutely SUI
preme. They violate even the simpIest
canons of good taste"

SEEK WORLDS COAL TRADE,
American Product IN Rapidly Gain
ing Foothold in European
Countries.

The coal crisis in Europe. due to
the decrease in the English coal prod
uct and the advance in prices, led
Chief Emery, of the bureau of foreign
commerce of the state department, to
ask United States consuls at impor.
tant ports abroad to state the pros
poets for the introduction of Amer
lean coal. A preliminary report Just
published by the bureau shows that
at Is important ports heard from the
American product is rapidly entering
the markets of the world and in many
places has overcome the British coal
At birmingham competitive test of
American and British coal was made.
The American coal yielded $4,000 feet
of gas per ton against 10000 in the
English coal. There is talk of build
ing 10,000-ton vessels for the express
purpose of bringing American coal to
the Mediterranean, because the
freight rates at present make the
price of American coal higher than it
should be.

THE TRIALS OF STAGE LIFE.
Woman broad In Character and
strong In Mind Can stand Test.

Ofttimes the stage speaks as clear
ly as the pulpit. Nine. Helene Mod
jeska and her husband. Count Bo-
zenta, are at the Windsor hotel. Or
ange. Her company is rehearsing
preparatory to her farewell tour.
Nine, Modieska was asked If she
would advise a certain young woman
to go on the stage.
IL would not advise. / would not
say go or stay to one who wishes
TO work in our ranks" the famous
actress answered ITO women who
are broad in character and strong in
mind the struggle gives added
strength, but the weak must fall,
hardened and discouraged. My ca
reer has been one of struggle and
vicissitudes, but with it all | have
managed to live down temptations.
"The innocent yet persistent girl
does not know that if she chooses
dramatic art for her life work she
must lose in the struggle for sue
cess so many of the ideals, so much
of gentleness and courtesy that is en-
tended to women who don't work on
an equal plane with men,
"The girl of innocence and grace
may find good men, fine men and
'charitably disposed women on the
stage, but although the stage is
adorned by many lovable characters,
the girl who is knocking so persist
emily for admittance to a theatrical
carer has no definite ideas of stage
life.
ITO those on the threshold of life
in the theater the realization of the
hard work. of the failure or of medi-
um success is very difficult. They
imagine that because they know OF
what the world calls the temptations
OF the stage that they are armed.
But they cannot see, and no one can
tell them, the daily trials, the loneli-
ness"

BIRD VANQUISHES MOUSE.
Daring Little Canary Kills Its Enemy
After IA Long ana Desperate
Struggle.

After a fight lasting nearly half an
hour, at the home of Victor L. Bed
ingford, in Flatbush, the other night
a canary bird succeeded in vanquish-
ing and killing a large mouse. Mr..
Bedingford has a number of canaries
of fine breeds. The mouse ran into
the cage occupied by bird which is
cross between an English and a do
mestc canary. Although the mouse
savagely attacked the canary, it was
Immediately put upon the defensive.
The bird showed great cleverness in
wounding the mouse with its beak,
and after half an hour the rodent
lay stretched out dead. Then the
plucky little bird jumped to it's high
est perch and began to sing, stop
ping long enough to give one or two
spiteful digs at the dead mouse's
head as Mr. Bedingford was taking it
out of the cage.

New York, Oct 25.-According to
the phrase of professional traders in
stocks, the reaction in prices was the
oreticaly due today. The reaction was
strenuous1y contended by the bull ele-
ment, but their efforts were futile ,and
prices generally show losses. The sud-
den and characteristic break in sugar
in the final hour had not little to do
with the decided course of the market
downward. The weakness was not
extreme at other points in the list

According to an English expert, dia-
monds are in process of formation in
Hawaii. He spent much time and some
money following up the first indica.
tions that attracted his attention. In
many respects, he says, the formation
here is like that of the diamond fields
OF Kimberley, But after researches he
came to the conclusion that the process
mas not yet gone far enough, but is
still going on, ~and that in the course
OF 100000 years or so Hawaii will be
a great diamond field.

People of Berlin Hold That Mission
aries Are Not ResponsibIe for
the Chinese Outbreaks.

The better elements among the peo-
pie of Berlin as well as the entire re-
ligious population are indignant al the
persistent attacks of "a large portion
of the press on Chinese missions and
missionaries. The aspersions east OH
the missionaries, it is pointed out, dc

The greatest regret is expressed by
newspapers representative of militant
Christianity that responsible organs of
public opinion, like the Vossische
Zeitung, the Cologne Gazette and 9TH
ers, should lend themselves to this
chorus of abuse of Chinese mission
aries. One can understand that savage
hordes of heather will readily massa-
ere men of different religious per

armed, and if their lives are a pro-
test against violence and crime i'm all

TO trample on men whose aims are a
noble ideal, who have sacrificed all they
possess for their cause, and at last
life itself, is one of the saddest signs
of the times.
1t is recognized here that these press
attacks mostly originate in circles
which are not only opposed TO mission
airy methods in China, but to the mis-
slons themselves, their object and end.

Besides the pictures OF Cromwell

The Emperor OF China Frequently
Holds Audiences from Mid
night TIL Dawn

The Chinese emperor is now about
30 years of age. He is under the medi-
um height, sallow, and apparently CT
a weak constitution. He has received
a good training in Chinese and in
Manchu. He knows some English. He
has wife, a dozen concubines, and no
children. He is unable to control his
explosive temper. 1t is doubtful
whether he can exert a rule of autbori-
ty over others. He has kind of fem
mime energy to push, ahead, but lacks
clear visions of surrounding condi-
tions. His reform edicts 'are unique
in the history of the empire. 1t is inn
possible to say, however, what part
of them is due to him and what part
to Kang Yu-Wei, the greatest leader
of the reform party, writes Prof. /. r.
ueadland, in Ainslee's.
The emperor, as is customary in
China, transacts all state affairs be
tween 12 at midnight and the rise of
the sun. Some sharp tongue has said
that the Chinese love darkness be-
cause their deeds are evil. What is
good, eowever, is done at the same
time. 1t is during these hours that
Kwang Hsu formulates his edicts,
which are all published in the Peking
Gazette. Two officials shadow the en-
peror without ceasing. These are the
imperial recorders. They note and
transcribe his every act, his every word
Their memoranda are transferred to
the imperial archives and are not
opened until the history of the dynasty
rs written, long after the rotting bones
of kwang Hsu have become sacred be-
side those of his ancestors.
