WHY

Why Is II, Lord. that we should stay,
And work the long, long. weary day.
While those We love so tenderly
Are called above to dwell with Theef
Why those whose work seems but begun
Are called away as though 'twere done.
While others, inefficient, stay,
Though longing 20 be called away7
Thou knowest all, and Thou alone
Canst tell why these strange things are
done,
Thou ruest, and with boundless love
Dost guide Us all from Heaven above.
We know Thou doest what Is best,
And when we. too, will be at rest
We then will know, and not till then,
Why all our plans could not have been.
When In that realm of Heavily light.
We there shall see that all was right,
And wonder why we questioned so
At what seemed strange TO US below.

bread, but it is not admitted by Ameri-
can bakers as a rule. The National
Baker is. however, frank enough to
confess the shortcomings Of the trade

seeks to learn the cause and advance
a remedy. 1t declares that the millers
are not to blame. America has the
most capable millers and the best mill
ing processes in the world, and the
wheat is as good as that grown in
Hungary, if not better. The bakers
themselves generally ascribe the in
ferior quality of bread 10 the modern
fad Of making it of whole wheat -four,
from which the bran and other fibrous
matter have been eliminated i'm the
process of milling. The National
Baker. however. declares that the bak

results. The mllers will always give
the bakers the kind of flour they want.
1t is to their interest 10 do so. The
public will agree with the trade paper

GoDFRIED RUDOLPH RELEASED
Mrs. Fnrnhasa Fails to identify Him
az Her AssaiIant.

Godfried Rudolph who was arrested
yesterday by Detective Boyd and Police
man Grant on suspicion of being the high
wayman who assaulted Mrs. John J. Farm
lam Saturday night, was this afternoon
released from custody. Mrs. Farnhan1
decided that she was not positive that
Rudolph was her assailant.
Teiesralns from Pittsburg and Ale
gheny City showed that Rudolph lived in
Allegheny for twenty years; that he was
q broom peddler, Slightly demented and
had never been arrested for any crime.
The telegrams entirely dissipated the
sensational report that Rudolph was no
torious criminal aud that his picture was
in the rogue's gallery.
Rudolph formerly lived at "a High
Street Allegheny, Pa. He was familiar
fgure there as a broom peddler. He came
to Washington about three months ago
and has since peddled writing paper. He
lives now at 1343 Street northwest.
Thomas Welch the colored man under
arrest at no. s station on suspicion OF
being the man who assaulted Thomas
Ricketts, Saturday night, maintains that
he is innocent The police claim how
ever. that they have several witnesses
who are positive the stick found at the
SPOT where Ricketts, was assaulted was IN
the possession CT Welsh earlier in the
night. The stick is an ordinary curtain
pole. and has no distinctive marks by
which it might be positively identified.
Wefch is held On a charge as assaulting
Hattie Jones' colored some time ago.

NEGOTIATIONS IN CHINA.
Belief in Paris That the DcIcasse

PARIS. Oct. 17.-There is an optimistic
feeling here over the Chinese situation and
it is believed that the note of NJ. Delcasse
10 the powers VIII become the final basis
for the peace negotiations.
Already three stages have been attained.
The first was when Foreign Minister Del
easse issued his note, the second when the
powers unanimously accepted the provis-
ions of the same with unimportant reser-
vations, and the third when NJ Pichon. the
French Minister at Pekin. submitted the
note TO his colleagues there who approved
the contents and suggested number OF
additions based on their local knowledge
OF the requirements of the case, which in
no way affected the main features of the
note
The only logical conclusion that can be
reached from all this is that the powers
Will proceed to instruct their representa-
tives at Pekin to begin the peace negotIa-
tfoas on the basis OF the Delcasse note.
There is reason 10 believe that steps have
already been taken to secure such action,
in fact. that some powers have already
sent instructions to their ministers to fol-
low such course.
