Case Not Yet Taken Tn.

New York, Nov. 3.-The board Of
special inquiry at Ellis island ad-
jOuIned today without taking up the
case Of the eleven Cuban children
who came here Saturday on the Ward
line steamer Orizaba, destined for
Point Iona, Cal, to be educated and
cared for at the ''far N" Of the "uui-
versal brotherhood, conducted un-
der the direction Of Mrs. Katherine
Tingley.
The children are detained on the
island and DR.. Cert ude Van Holt,
In whose charge they came from San
tiagO, is with them.
Commissioner Williams said today
that the case Of the children opens
up an important and interesting
q 'eslion winch will probably be u, ed
to establish precedent for the guid.
ce Of the department 10 the matter
Of the admission of Cuban children
to this country for the purpose of ed
ucatiOn.
The technical point on which the
children will! be depnrted, If the
board decides to debdr them, he says,
will be that they are liable to become
public charge.
The theory on which this Is based
Is that the children are brought here
as objects Of charity, the institution
to which they are going being no
way bOund to support them, If for
any re son the managers thereof
should see fit at any time to turn
them loose on the community.
Whatever the boards final ruling
Is Commissioner Williams is CONT
dent that an appeal will be taken
first to him and then to the treasury
d partment In Washington In order
to make this a test case and estab-
'ish precedent.

A Potato-Bug Poker.

An ingenious Michigan farmer has
invented machine that will pick pota-
to bugs all day long without rest or
nourishment. Verify the progress of
this new century is strding forward by
leaps and bounds. A machine that
will tramp back and forth across a
potato patch from morning till night
In the hot sun without suffering sun
stroke or weak back is a glorious tri-
umph. This machine gathers old and
young potato bugs alike; 1t plucks off
the old striped-back veteran as well as
young and ambitious potato bugs in Ike
Aush and yigor of childhood; in short,
This new pOtato-bus picker is no TO-
bpector of potato bugs. By working
nnremittingly for few minutes it can
bick more than enough potato bugs for

Due to Strife in Business and Social
Life, Declares DIR. Stone.
Chicago people are going to church less
and less each year. This is the statement
made by the Rev. James S. Stone, pastor
of st. James Church, Cass and Huron
streets. Mr.. Stone gives five reasons
which in his opinion cause this decrease
In church attendance.
Chief among these five the pastor of
the North Side church says is the con-
slant struggle in the business and social
world. "a woman who for whole week
has been attending theaters, balls, teas
and numerous other social functions"
said the Rev. Mr.. Stone, 'looks forward
to Sunday as a day of rest, and she sore
ly needs it. For the same reason n man
who has spent six days in any business
which calls for his whole attention many
hours a day does not wish to spend any
part of his Sunday in church. The LIST
of reasons given by the Rev. Mr.. Stone
for the lack of church attendance fol-
lows:
Wear and tear of the modern business
and social life; reaction from successive
elnotionalism; decline in the faith in i'm
mortality; numerous warning denomina-
lions, and lack of something new in the
church.
Chicago is no exception to the lack of
church attendance. 1t is the same from
one end of the country to the other" said
Mr.. Stone. st applies to all cities and

cause the people have an idea that the
church is only for the rich. do not think
that this is the case, for in churches that
are built and conducted for the poor alone
the same state of affairs prevails. The

NAMES DAY OF THANKSGIVING.
President Issues Proclamation Desig-
mating Nov. 27.

mating Nov. ~.
President Roosevelt has issued his
proclamation designating Thursday, Nov.
y, as a day of thanksgiving. The proc
amation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of our
people, it falls upon the President ut this
season to appoint n day of festival and
thanksgiving TO God
Over a century and quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the nations of the earth, and dur
ing that time we have had, on the whole,
more to be thankful for than has fallen
70 the lot of any other people. Genera
lion after generation has grown to man
| hood and passed away. Each has had
o bear its peculiar burdens, each to face
is special crises, and each has known
Tears of grim trial, when the country
vas menaced by malice, domestic or for
.ign levy, when the hand of the Lord
was heavy upon it, in drought or food or
pestilence, when in bodily distress and
anguish of soul it paid the penalty of
Jolly and q forward heart.
Nevertheless decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and upward; we
| lOw abundantly enjoy material well be-
ing, and, under the favor of the Most
| High, we are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting. The year
that has just closed has been one Of
peace and of overlooking plenty. Rurcl
has any people enjoyed greater prosperity
than we are now enjoying. For this we
, render heartfelt and solemn thanks 10
the Giver of Good; and we seek to praise
him, not by words only, but by deeds,
| by the way in which we do our duty to
ourselves and to our fellow men.
"Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosc-
yelt, President of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 9th of the
coming November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people cease
! from their ordinary occupations, nnd IN
their several homes and places of wor-
ship tender thanks unto Almighty God
for the manifold blessings of the past
year.

set my hand and caused the seal of the

not be known until the railroads have re-
ceived reports as to the number Of cars
used in transporting it, it is said to he
one of the largest ever raised in the val
ley. 1t has been customary for the po-
tato growers of the valley to keep for
seed all potatoes dug after Oct /, because
they are usually not large enough for
table use, but the growing season has
been longer this year and practically all
of the potatoes harvested are market
able
This year has been an exceptional enc
for production in the KaW valley. The
quality of the potatoes has been better
ind the yield larger than the average
year. On some of the farms the yield
has been as large as 800 bushels to the
acre. This is extraordinary, but the
average yield has been good and the price
about 20 cents bushel. This makes an
Income from such field as mentioned as
high as $50 to the acre.
The potato-growing area of the law
river valley extends from Argentine on
the east TO Topeka on the west. The
growers in this section have an organiza-
ton and it is understood among them that
only pure Northern seed is to be planted
Zach year. This seed is of the Early
Ohio variety and comes from the valley

 All of the Klumpke girls have made name for themselves abroad in art, music and science, and again one of them has gained new honors. Miss Dorothea Klumpke. the famous as- ronomer. has just been appointed chief assistant to Professor Isaac Rob erts at the Leland Stanford, Jr, uni versity. A number of years ago she went to Paris to take vocal educa- tion, but finding her voice could never make her great she turned her atten- tion to the study of mathematics in their application to astronomy.
 Miss Klumpke became a student in the famous school of astronomy and mathematics connected with the ob- servatory of Paris and was the first woman to win the degree of doctor of mathematics. At the age of twenty three. in competition with fifty French men. she won a position as head of a department in the Paris observatory, where her work has attracted a great deal of attention.
