GAGE TAKES AN APPEAL
Seeks Ruling by Attorney General on
Porto Rico Duties.

Washington, July 13.-Secretary
Gage is being criticised for appealing
to the attorney general from ruling
of the comptroller of the treasury, and
rumors could be heard about the cor
ridors of the department of official
irritation.
Secretary Gage. under the recent de-
cision of the supreme court, asked the
comptroller of the treasury for an
opinion as to whether the duties upon
imports from Porto Rico, held to De
unconstitutionally collected could be
refunded. The comptroller decided
they could be returned without an act
of congress. 1t is reported that the
secretary had hoped for a different
opinion, and to secure it has adopted
the unusual course of appealing to the
attorney general.
1t is explained in the secretary's Of
Gee that the attorney general has been
called upon for an opinion as a safe
guard. Secretary Gage, while having
the utmost confidence in the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury, is not willing TO ac-
cept the enormous responsibility of re-
funding $2,O00.000 without exhaustlng
all resources at his command to forti-
fy himself against an attack from con-
greSS.

CLOSED IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Endeavor international Convention at Gin
cinnati Comes to an End.

CinudLl ZONES 10 an Emu.
Cincinnati, July 1.-THE twentieth
international convention of the United
Society of Christian Endeayor was
brought to close here last night in a
blaze of glory. The programme for
yesterday was arranged upon more
elaborate scale than that of the pre-
vious four days, but owing to the con-
Solidation of the three into two big
meetings the speakers were requested
to boil down their addresses to allow
the speakers who were to have partici-
paid in Auditorium Ohio to speak with
them in the other two auditoriums.
The "quiet hour" meetings again
ushered in the days programme.
Auditoriums Endeavor and Williston
were then used for two big rallies in
the morning, which were devoted to a
discussion of the twentieth anniversary
session of the society. The afternoon
rallies were given over to the mission
aries for a discussion of their needs.
The story of the siege Of the city OF
Pekin was told by the Rev. Courtenay
II. Penn, of Picking, China, who was
one of the ministers besieged by the
Boxers in that city. His story Of Box
er atrocities brought tears to many
eyes, and he said that the mission
aries stand ready to return to these
shambles and again begin their work.
The climax of the convention was
reached in the two great farewell
meetings, held simultaneously in Au-
ditoriums Endeavor and Williston at
night. Fully 10000 people were pres
ent After many stirring scenes and
speeches President Clark spoke ''the
last word" and then, with arms out
stretched, he pronounced the benedic-
tion and the convention Of the Chris
tian Endeavorers adjourned to meet no
mora until 1909

First the community was scapdalized
by the free use of tights by the fe-
male members of the company, and
later in the week one of these same
young ladies was so unkind as to
attack the box office receipts for

followed by the news that Pauline

cluded that her season with the COM

members of the company, went to
a boarding house operated by a Mrs.
w. B. Thomas, Oh Spencer avenue,
and were receiving every attention
until they gave the landlady a pass
for the evening performance. The
opera was "Olivette.' Mrs. Thomas
seemed to enjoy herself until the en-
trance of the eleven chorus maidens.
Then she was observed to straighten
ND in her seat, blush a deep crimson
and suddenly leave the theatre.
Two hours later her guests arrived
at the house. Then Mrs. Thomas in
formed them that under no circum-
stances could she permit them to re
main under her roof another minute
With her own eyes, she said, she had
observed them walk boldly forth OF
