LOOKING TO THE UNITED STATES.
Sentiment Growing for ProtectOrute
Over Honduras.

From Today's New York Sun.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July 17-Dr Jo-
seph w. Jencks, president of the Honduras
Female Institute at Santa Cruz de Yoia,
Honduras. arrived here today from that
country. He says that the question of an
American protectorate Of Central America
is just now being discussed generally
Apropos of the coming election for presi-
dent of Honduras he says that the agita-
tlon in favor of a protectorate is growing
stronger, and he predicts that 1t will come
within the next ten years. DR.. Jencks
thinks that Honduras is in such a state of
development that some stability is needed
in the government
II firmly believe that there will te an
American protectorate within the next ten
years. Everything points in that direction.
The country is getting more into the hands
of the Americans every year, and the gov-
ernment there is not stable enough to guar
antee protection to foreign interests.
IF the United States does not take some
steps to protect the interests of its citizens
some other nation will, and then interna-
tfonal questions will arise. President
Sierra has strong cabinet and administers
the country well, but when his term ex-
pires there will be trouble over his success
sor. for the constitution forbids his re-
election. The big business interests in
Honduras will not tolerate revolution or
weaker government. The idea Of an
American protectrate is being discussed 1t
has many friends and their number is in
creasing.'
Senior Alonzo Valenzuela, a native of
Honduras and one of the wealthiest and
who arrived on the same vessel With DR.
Jencks, takes the same view, that an
American protectorate will come sure He
thinks that the protectorate will come in
the form of a proposition from Honduras
that the United States shall take charge of
it's foreign relations.

DUKE MADE GRAND MASTER.
COnnaught Succeeds Edward VII as
Head of british MaaOns.

Eleven thousand English Freemasons
yesterday attended the installation of the
Duke Of Connaught as grand master Of
the United Grand Lodge. in succession to
Edward VII, at London yesterday. Albert
Hall was thronged with members of the
Grand Lodge, past and present, and with
the masters and wardens of English lodges,
It was in 1875, when the Prince OF
Wales was placed on the Masonic throne
The ceremonial was virtually the same as
at the installation of the Prince of Wales
and was most solemn and impressive. The
Grand Lodge officers entirely filed the Or
chestra and chorus seats. The Duke of
Connaught was welcomed by fanfare of
trumpets. and the national anthem was
sung by an enormous gathering. He was
installed by Earl Amherst, pro-grand mas
ter assisted by the Earl of Warwick
deputy grand master. The duke made an
excellent address, and referred to the fact
that for many years the royal family had
been closely associated with Freemasonry,
George ". William ". Edward VII, the
Duke of Kent. the Duke of Cumberland
the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Albany
and the Duke of Clarence having been con-
nected with it.
The most impressive moment was when
the installation was proclaimed ana the
vast cOncourse. with blue regalia and white
gloves, saluted the new grand Master.
The music throughout the ceremony was
splendidly rendered. Grand Master HoZier
of Scotland and the Duke of Abercorn,
grand master of Ireland, made short ad-
dresses. and kilograms of ccngratulatiOn
were read from the colonies. Lord Miner
the bishop of Calcutta and the lord mayor
of London were present to receive advance
ment in the craft, and honOrs were con-
ferred on Lord Kitchener.
During the grand mastership of the k:rE
fi.750.Oi0 has been paid into the benevolent

AMERICAN WOMEN ABROAD.
Mrs. Griffin Enthusiastic Over the So
ciety in London.

Mrs. Hugh Reid Griffin, president Of the
Society Of American Women in London
who arrived on the Oceanic and passed
through New York yesterday on her way
to Connecticut, spoke enthusiastically to
New York Tribune reporter on the work
already accomplished by the society and
It's hopeful prospect for the future
Mrs. Griffin said: We feel well pleased
with what we have been able to do in the
two short years since the society was
formed. 1t did not come into being to serve
any personal purposes or as mere club
but because we felt that there were enough
American women in London to be a posi-
tive force for good, if we came together
So much more can be accomplished by or
ganiZed than by individual effort in any
direction.
I'VE have been the means Of bringing
American and English women together in
a far greater degree than had been the case
previously. The cordiality of the English
women has Increased in marked manner
since they began to know Americans en-
masse, so to speak. They were always
charming to individuals, but seemed to feel
that each individual was an exception Now
they recognize that that is not the case
and are accepting the representative daugh-
ter of the United States with entire genial
itY.
America has made herself known in so
much broader a way in the last few wears
that there is deeper appreciation Of her
qualities than ever before. The Spanish
war called forth such true and warm sym-
pathy from the English that their interest
In those Americans among them was great
ly increased and was displayed in the kind
est way, while the reciprocation of that
feeling by the Americans, as shown by the
hospital ship Maine, was most strongly ap-
preciated by them. The fences Of the
world are coming down in all directions"

BRYAN'S FRIENDS DESERT.
Other States Will Doubtless Follow
OhfO's Example.

From the New York Tribune.
The local democrats of the gold standard
wing of the party are much elated over the
reputation of Bryan and the doctrine Of
free silver by the Ohio state convention.
Prominent local democrats say that state
after state will follow the lead of Ohio,
and that Mr.. Bryan, when 1904 rolls
around, will be unable to muster cor
porals guard in support Of his pet theory.
A great deal of activity Is being manifest
ed by democrats who We're either smother
ed or retired when Bryan and his heuten-
ants captured control of the party organi-
cation. In New York state the old-line
democrats are getting together and prepar-
ing for fight to regain control OF the
state organization from the Bryan element
that has been in control.
There is great deal of quiet specula-
ton as to feasible candidate for gov
ernor next year. Col. Daniel s. Lamont,
who was Secretary of War in President
Cleveland's second cabinet, is-being talked
Of, and it is said that ex-senator Hill and
his friends and the friends, of ex-President
Cleveland. who at one time were faction
ally at war. are now prepared to unite and
make war upon the Bryan element in the
state. Col Lamont Is talked of as the
candidate that the combination of CleVe-
land and Hill democrats may push to the
front as a candidate for governor against
fords good midsummer gossip for the poll
ticians. -.
E. Ellery Anderson. a prominent gold
standard democrat, who has been, spoken
of in connection with the nomination for
mayor on the fusion anti-Tammany ticket
this fall, speaking of the action Of the Ohio
state democrats yesterday, said:
THE only criticism of the Ohio demo-
Gratis that can make is that they did not
go far enough. 1t is not sufffcient to keep
our eyes shut and keep silent about the
dangerous elements in the organization.
There must be a specific declaration that
Bryan and the principles he stands for
do not represent the sentiments Of the
democratic party. There should a re-
versal by Democratic convention Of the
some time before such public reputation
OF the Chicago platform comes. but it will
come eventually. 1t must come.
Il have nothing to say against Mr.. Bryan
personally. do not consider him bad
man. He seems honest enough in his be-
lief. but the time is coming when 1t must
be openly confessed that he and the sew
erai who followed him so blindly do not
represent the great democratic party in
America" g.

Urban Growth,
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

1t has been suggested that the general
introduction of electric railways in the
countryside will eventually arrest the tide
of country population flowing toward the
cities. The advent of the steam railways
had no such effect On the contrary IL
made the cities more accessible to country
residents, contributing greatly to the
growth of the immediate environs OF the
cities. The electric lines will relieve the
isolation of country living. and prove a.
great boon to farmers, but that they will
check the rapid growth of the towns and
prevent the denudation of the rural coun-
ties is improbable. The next census ought
to throw some informing light on this ques-
ton. The rapid improvement Of city dis
tricts at some distance from the business
quarter since the Introduction Of the cleo
trio street railways, and the remarkable
increase Of suburban settlements sooner or
later to come within the limits of the
neighboring city, show that cities have
reaped great advantages from the new
method Of street transit. The trolley lines
rapidly extending into the country in every
direction are so many new pathways to the
great towns. The tendency of the people to
herd together first in villages. which de-
velop into towns and cities, has been
noticed for hundreds of years. and the ten
dency seems to increase with improving
means Of communication.

Shopping without Hats.
tho Noxv York Sun


Last weeks hot weather found several
women shopping without their hats. So far
as known, they were the first on record, in
this town at least. If 1t looked a trifle
queer to see a woman, hat in hand and
bareheaded, walking calmly along 9Th ave-
nue. and Broadway, now and then diving
into a shop, but all the time keeping her
hat off, it at least suggested independence
and possible comfort Such women could
not, at all events, be any warmer than
those who kept their hats on, for that was
impossible. And if they thought they were
any cooler with their hats off very likely
they were cooler. 1t was more tribute to
the weight of our present style Of hat than
to the temperature, anyway Most of us
would be more comfortable In dead of win
ter minus the heavyweight millinery FASH
ion dictates we must cover ourselves with.
VIII the summer ever come, we wonder,
when 1t will be the fashion for women to
shop bareheaded? The women Of last week

that the types Of pupils most diff1cult to

that what Is known a disorderly or al

Chronic Heat Stroke.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Full recovery from heat prostration Is
not usually immediate. Persons who
have suffered great depression during a
heated term are liable to headaches and
other distressing symptoms for weeks. or
to "chronic heat stroke" as the doctors
say. Those who have been actually over
come by the heat will find 1t necessary to
guard themselves with uncommon care for
many summers. Chronic heat stroke'' il

ANSWERS A QUESTION. Mrs. Rorer's Reply in Ladies' Home
 Journal.

q consider coffee as 1t is usually made in the American family--strong and from the pure bean-an injurious drink, espe- cially for nervous people.
 No doubt the student to whom you re- fer can study better after taking a cup of coffee but the new energy is caused by a stimulant, the effects of which will soon wear off, leaving him lower in nerv- ous force.
 That is the reason he has headache and feels so miserable when he is with out coffee. If 1t Is only the hot drink he requires why not take cup of clear hot water or cup of Cereal Coffee?"
 Mrs. Rorer Is one of the most eminent authorities on food in America. She knows that Americans go on day by day using food and drink that sap their vital ity instead of building 1t up. and 1t re- quires argument oft repeated to wake them up. Broken wrecks of humanity stumbling along, unable to carry out their cherished plans are all about us and their physical weakness is nearly al- ways due to improper food and drink Coffee is a skilled destroyer of nervous strength. Postum Food Coffee is de- lcious fool drink made from selected parts of cereals that yield the clements nature demands for rebuilding the nerve tissue all over the human body.
 If it has ever been served to you in a weak unpalatable drink, have it made over again and use two spoons to each cup and know that the actual boiling con- tinues full 15 minutes. Our word for 1t. the Postum Coffee is delicious when prop erly made.

NJ BUCKET SHOPS
 IN BIRMINGHAM Recent Act of Congress Has No
 Effect. DO A BROKERAGE BUSINESS Act Went Into Effect Monday-All the Local Brokers Say the Act Does << Not Affect Them
 at All. IF.
DO A BROKERAGE BUSINESS

The provision of the war reduction act passed by the last Congress relative to the taxation of bucket shops went into effect on Monday. It provides for a stamp tax of cents on every transaction of S10O or fraction thereof and an annual license fee of $50, in addition to special taxes imposed by previously existing legislation. The effect will be to make bucket shop men pay license of $10O per year for every office or branch, in ad- dition to the stamp tax
 The act virtually legalizes bucket shops by specifically mentioning them and pro- yiding for their licensing.
 The commissioner of internal revenue issued orders to all collectors to admins ter the provisions of the new law begin ming April l. Collector J. H. Bingham has so far taken no steps towards en- forcing this act as to any particular broker or bucket shop in the city.
 Local Men Not Affected.
 None of the brokers in Birmingham ad- init that they are in any way affected by this act. MT. J. Smollen, manager for Murphy x Co, was seen yesterday by an Age-Herald reporter and asked what eff feet this act would have on their busi- hess.
 None at all," he replied, land so far as l know it will not affect any of the brokers here. The act applies only to bucket shops, and a man who runs a bucket shop is a man who constitutes himself an exchange Our business Is a strict brokerage business"
 H. D. Cothran of H. D. Cothran & O.. was also seen by the reporter and asked the same question. "The act has no ef- feet on us," said MT. Cothran, "as our correspondents are all members of dif- ferent exchanges and we ourselves are members of the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change and the Chicago Board of Trade The law Is simply against bucket shops. Our Chicago correspondents say that the bucket shops in Illinois are closing up on account of that provision of the law which requires them to file with the col lector list of names of their customers.
 The reporter also called to see Smith, May Co. and was shown a letter from their correspondent, the ODell Commits sion Company, to the effect that their at. torneys had advised them that their bus mess was not embraced within this act of Congress and that they were not sub ject to the taxes provided for in tha act.

 FOR FIRST TIME
Memoirs New Mass Will Be
 Produced Easter Sunday.
SAID TO BE BEAUTIFUL
The Composer Will Direct the Music at St. PauI's Church-SpIendd
 Programme Has Been Ar.
 ranged-Some Invitations.

The Easter music at St. Pauls church lie then for the first time. It is a very beautiful work, easily surpassing, accord ing to musical critics, his first mass, which was brilliant and full of religious melodies. It will be sung by a choir of thirty-five voices, supported by a select orchestra. There was a full rehearsal Tuesday night and there will be another full rehearsal tomorrow night.
 The new mass is said to possess more body, better figure effects and more con- structive design in general than Memolf S opus l. The orchestration is not only full of color but 1t is more complex in every way than the voice parts.
 The choir will be placed on Easter in musical festival style that is to say the orchestra will be immediately in front of the director and the singers will be terraced in three banks just beyond the orchestra. MT. Memoli the director, says this will make it more satisfactory for him and easier for the musicians.
 A new feature of the services at high mass at St. Pauls church will be intro duced on Easter It is the altar choir, composed of twenty-siX or twenty eight boys, that will sirg a professional and all the responses in the mass-et cum spiritu tuo; Habemus ad Dominum; Dignum ct Justum est, etc. These boys have been in training for two months and for some time past have had daily rehearsals in the sanctuary. It is understood that they will sing the responses at mass either this morning or Saturday.
 The choisters will be vested in red soutanes and white cottas. Later on they will be provided with black soutas for masses of requirem, and purple soutanes for penitentive seasons.
