ApprecIative W. R. c.

We desire on behalf of Abe Lin
lcoln Women's Relief. Corps No. 40
to extend our sincere thanks to all
who so kindly assisted us in our
entertainment. Not that we think
the services rendered were given 10
us as an organization, but because
we know they were given for the
same reason that prompted lis to do
our work the love of "Old Glory"
and the desire to do our part in a
patriotic cause; to show the living
soldiers we honor them, even as we
do the heroes that are sleeping be-
meath the flag they made free and
stainless careless now alike of
Sunshine and storm, each in his
windowless palace of rest.
And while we, the Relief Corps
Simply did our duty in raising this
money to buy flag, so all who
participated, in whatever way, did
their duty in showing ii at from
their brain and heartand conscience
they honor the flag and the Boys in
Blue who have made America the
hope and the beacon of the human
race. Many of these same brave
boys, while doing their duty, gave
up their fair young lives in defense
OF our country, but have engraved
their names, THE American Vol
unteer," on the memory and hearts
of all SO deeply that they will last
forever and forever.
While it would be impossible here
to name all who donated their time
and labor, we feel that Messrs. Ded-
rick and Perkins, who erected our
stage, deserve special mention, as
do also the trpsiees of the M. E.
church, who, fPr patriotic cause,
loaned the church chairs, even
though it is well know they had
made a ruling mot TO lend church
property for any purpose whatso-
ever; and last, but not least, we
thank the press in general for the
liberal advertising. which we realize
was mainly instrumental in fillirg
the house to its utmost capacity.
And now we realize that in To.
ledo there is but one sentiment fer
soldiers living or dead--cheers for
the living and tears for the dead
and ever all in the great dome
shines the eternal star Of Heaven.

OLD rlAIDs' CONVENTION.

The Old Maids have come and
gone. For about Two hours Tues
day evening they aired their JOYS
and sorrows, their fearful ard
wonderful faces. figures and fem
mine frills before delighted au-
dience in Toledo, when merciful
scientist with wonderful machine
transformed them into beautiful
young girls and gave them a new
and promising start in life. It is
impossible to mention the many
good features Of this entertainments
Il is generally spoken Of as the best
show" ever seen in Toledo. AS
The poet says:
Twas worth ten years Of peaceful
life
One glance at that array.
The hall was filled to overflow
ing, many being unable to obtain
even standing room. The fact was
emphasized that Toledo needs a
public hall of much greater seating
capacity. The stage room, too,
was inadequate, and this accounted
for the long delay between scenes.
However, 1t was wonderfully
good -natured and appreciative au-
dience. the obstacles evidently be-
ing properly considered. The flag
drill which followed the transforms
tion of the old maids was as perfect
as clockwork and made an animated
and petty scene. receiving merited
encore. "Nellie's First Party"
by little Nettie Helgesen, took the
audience by storm. The child pos
sesses large stock of talent.
The quartette--"The Professor at
Home"--also "took" immensely,
the musical voices of Mrs. 4. H.
Bryant, Miss Ethel Lennon and
Messrs. Fred Ross and Eli Gather
blending perfectly. The pantomime
The American Volunteer -
won many kind words, especially
from persons familiar with the sad
incidents of war. George McClus-
key was fine soldier and "The
Girl I left Behind Me-" Miss Daisy
Pattison, had perfectly proper con-
ception of the character. Mr.. and
Mrs. H. R. Sturdevant played the
old folks very acceptably. 1t re-
minded them of similar scenes
which they had witnessed in the
dark days of the Civil war. Nettie
Helgesen made bright little
daughter. Mrs. B. F. Swope was
an ideal Red Cross nurse-one of
those noble followers of Clara Bar
ton who are devoting their lives to
the care of the sick aud wounded in
every cline.
The tableau at the close OF the
pantomime Las been pronounced by
many one o. the finest ever witness
ed in Toledo or any other place.
The vocal and Instrumental num-
bers by Mrs. E. H. Bryant of Silesz
added much to the merit of the
program, and the assistance of
Rosebrook's orchestra was also
thoroughly appreciated.
Atthe conclusion Of the program
the majority of those present re-
NAMED to connect with the refresh
meuts. The over crowded hall
made the ask of serving a very
difficult one, but the people were
generally patient and the demand
for ice cream exceeded the supply.
The ice cream, cake and coffee

Chicago, March 12,-One OF the worst
cago and during the two hours that it
was at its height damaged property
throughout the city to the extent of
s175, 900. Many heavy plate glass win
dows Were blown in. Telegraph and
telephone companies were the worst
sufferers and it will be some time be-
fore order can be restored. Thousands
Of poles were blown down and Chicago
was practically isolated from the West
and Northwest by telephone and tele-
graph. The long distance telephone
service was crippled SO badly that it
wigs of little value. Up to late hour
neither Milwaukee nor Minneapolis
could be reached by long distance tele-
phone.
The storm is believed to have been
most severe in Southern Wisconsin
Along a short stretch of the Milwaukee
road in Southern Wisconsin 500 tele-
graph poles are down Reports from
many points in Indiana and Kentucky
also indicate heavy damage from the
storm. The Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies suffered severely
by fallen poles. 1t was estimated that
there were not fewer than 5000 poles
in the city thrown down by the fury of

FRANCE IS RUssIA's ALLY.

London, March 1.-THE conference
held between United States Ambassa-
dor Choate and Lord Lansdowne, the
foreign secretary, had nothing to do
with the Nicaraguan canal affair. To
quote from British officer: The
Nicaraguan controversy is minor
matter compared with the present sit
uation. What Mr. Choate did was to
receive from Lord Lansdowne an i'm
portant message declaring that Great
Britain was not satisfied with Russia's
declaration regarding Manchuria, and
asking that the United States, if they
were prepared to take joint action Of
such a decisive nature that Russia
would have no alternative but to
recede from her position. Almost
simultaneously, the Associated Press
understands, the United States gov
ernment and the various ambassadors
to take similar steps.
Japan is relied upon to take line in
harmony with the United States and
Great Britain. Germany, in spite of
the Anglo German compact, is regard
ed as rather doubtful, owing to EN-
peror Williams friendship for the
Car. France, of course, will side with
her ally, Russia.
''If such cases are accepted by the
powers,'' said British official, to a
representative of the Associated Press,
''there viii be nothing to prevent the
immediate partition of China, fer with
almost exactly the same verbiage any
European power could justify the
occupation of other provinces.
A feeling pervades inner circles here
that if Russia's explanation is accepted
by the powers, Russia will be accorded
free hand to take all she pleases and
the door will be opened to any other
power aggressive enough to step in
and annex Chinese provinces under the
pretext Of temporary occupation
