Want RECIPROCITY.
Two Hundred Delegates in Wash
inqton From all Sections.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Many of the
manufacturing industries of the Uni
ted States are represented at the Ma
tional Reciprocity convention which
began its. session here today. There
we're 200 delegates present in response
to call issued by the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers at a meeting
in Detroit last June. The convention
is representative of all sections and its
object is to give expression to the
views of manufacturers generally on
the subject of reci procity.
D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte. n. c..
was chosen temporary chairman, and
Theodore G. Search of Philadelphia
then was made permanent chairman.
The organization was completed by
election of the following: Vice chair
men, Gen. W. F. Draper, Massachu-
sets; T. L. Hickman, Georgia
Charles H. Harding, Pennsylvania:
James F. Deering, Illinois; Titus
Sheard, New York city, and Robert
J. Morgan, Ohio. Secretaries, =. II.
Sanborn, Pennsylvania, and E. T.
Wilson. Cincinnati. The convention
adopted resolutions of greeting to
President Roosevelt, pledging its sup
port and expressing confidence in his
administration. Mr.. Search in taking
the chair, outlined the work before
the convention. He said in part:
"Our aim has been to forestall
tariff agitation, not to encounter it.
It is the duty of this convention to
harmonic as far as possible the wide
ly differing opinions represented in
this body and to reduce to clear and
forceful expression such principles as
we hold in common. We are here to
harmonic our views, not to emphasize
our differences.
"This is no time or place for senSi-
ment, for theories Or for statements
that caunot be fully substantiated by
facts. take it we are all agreed as
to certain general propositions as
these:
s.That some of the duties embraced
in our present tariff are no longer
needful for the existence of the indus
tries for whose protection they are I'M
posed.
'.That many of our industries have
reached a stage in their development
where the home market alone cannot
absorb their entire product and conse-
quently new outlets are necessary for
their continuous operation and the
steady employment Of their operatives.
'That the establishment of more
cordial commercial relations with 9th,
er nations by means of an exchange OF
tariff concessions would enlarge the
foreign outlets of those industries for
which increased export trade is neces-
sary.
ssThat if such applications of the
principles of commercial reciprocity
could be made without injury TO any
of our industries the consequent ex-
pansion of our foreign trade would be
beneficial to all our commercial and
industrial interests. I"

Forth Worth, Tex, Nov. u
Today the great religious feature
of the Women's Christian lem
perance Union was presented.
Ihirty-four members of the union
occupied as many pulpits in diff
ferent churches in this city
preaching in most instances
morning and evening. The topics
covered were the whole common
ground of religious thought of the
world. Doctrinal discourse was
tabooed. Methodists occupied
Presbyterian pulpits, Unitarians,
talked to Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, congregation, and
Baptists and Congregationalists
fraternized under the white ban
ner of temperance. Some of the
most prominent pulpit orators are
Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, of Boston,

preached to appreciative and
overfowing congregations.
Chief interest centered in the
annual sermon preached in the
Christian Tabernacle by Elizabeth

world and national evangelist
superintendent.
The texts were First CORN
thians, 1:I7: For Christ sent

We heard it asserted a few days ago

We heard 1t asserted a few days ago
that the money lost this year on lien
accounts !, by merchants in this city
would have gone far toward building
a modern cotton mill. This may be
an exaggeration, but it will scarcely
be disputed that the loss on the lien
business this year viii wipe out
large percentage of the profits OF
former good years. The lien bust
ness is get rich quick proposition IN
big crop years and pays better than
any manufacturing enterprise, but
when short corps and lower price come
together the loss is heavy and almost
;rretrieyable. The man, and this ap-
plies with equal force to whole
community, that ties up all his capital
and crsdis:in the lien business IS IN
the same fix as the man who pl1t all
his eggs in one basket. The moral to
be drawn from the present situation
is that this community and the busl-
ness men would be better off if more
money was invested in solid productive
manufacturing enterprises and less IN
lien speculation, which is in some
respects closely akin to dealing in cot
ton futures.

Not only is the stone which was

She is only a Burmese woman. and
country. But whatever her name may
be, it may be here be translated Grace
Darling. For she is saver of life ex-
traordinary. heroine of large proper
tions, and credit to her brown skinned
race, says the New York Herald.
From the accounts which have pene-
trated from the land of secrecy and a
few exterior condolences. it appears
that she is "a simple, unpre tentious resi-
dent of the countryside near Rangoon
In front of her home flows a stream of
considerable proportions. and this
proximity has bred in her love of
the water. a familiarity with its ca
prices and treacheries. and skill in
the handling of all manner of craft
fashioned to conquer the waves.
On recent Sunday six clerks from
Rangoon intent upon the en- joyment %
their holiday, set out from the city,
guns in hand, with the idea of bringing
back load of game which should fur
nish food for boasting for many a
weary work day. Wheh near the SUBJ
urb of lnsein the hunters came to the
conclusion that their chances might be
bettered from the vantage point Of
the opposite shore.
But they had no boat--and the WON.
an had boat. and it would accommo-
date the entire party. An arrangement
was made for her to ferry the sports
men across. Midway of the stream a
sudden squall sprung up and. despite
the efforts of the party. the sail was
carried away and the skiff was
swamped
Not a man could swim. The woman,
however. was thoroughly at home in
the water. and, directing the capsized
hunters to hold to the overturned boat,
swan ashore, first with one and then
with another. In this manner five were
saved. The remaining man lost his
head and consequently his life. having
released his hold on the skiff and at
tempted to negotiate the current.
But this did not end the woman's
heroism. Exhausted as she was with
her labors. she yet swan back to her
own side of the shore and secured an
other boat. in whicft:she sailed to the
opposite bank and carried back the
dripping survivors.

ROOSEVELT is 1'REED
Cray Wolves Prove Too Much for

His Eager scent for Mig Game Leads
Him Into n Predfcament That Is
Both Thrilling and Ridic-
ulOuS.

According to a messenger who came
in to Meeker. Col, day or two ago.
Col. Roosevelt's chair was vacant the
other night when the hunters at the
Keystone ranch gathered for supper.
No anxiety was felt at first, as he had
told the others when he left the cabin
for solitary stroll just before dusk not
to wait for him in case he was not back
by supper time. But at nine o'clock
Col. Roosevelt had not returned and his
friends became alarmed. At ten o'clock
they were convinced that he was the
victim of some accident and men and
dogs started to find him.
1t seems that in the gathering dark
ness Col. Roosevelt saw the shaggy
form of a gray wolf outlined against
the sky on ridge fully 800 yards away.
the bullet from his rife wounded the
beast and sent him limping and yelling
over the brow of the hill Col. Roose-
welt followed on the run. He found the
tracks of the animal. showing that its
leg had been broken. \ light snow had
fallen the night before and the blood
stained footprints were easily traced.
The hunter was already far from
home and in the excitement of the
chase had lost his direction. However,
he had no thought of danger until he
noticed that the yelping of the wound
ed wolf was answered by others. These
gray wolves are twice as large as
coyotes and dangerous when in num-
bers. Col. Roosevelt kept away from
the thickets and brought down several
of the brutes when they came too near.
Finally it became too dark for any
thing but haphazard shooting. and. as
the country seemed alive with wolves
Col. Roosevelt climbed tree. In
doing SO he lost his cartridge belt

had been prisoner for four hours
Under the tree were a half-dczs n

vo.vers. The others were ,uun Sec
