P. E. O. SisterhOod.

At the recent State Conveu-
ton OF 'he 2. 4. o. Sisterhood
held at Hamilton, Mrs. Lawr-
ence, of Kansas City, Grand
President, spoke on P. E. o.
Sisterhood aud the following is
part of her spec CHI:
1T was love for God and love
for womanhood, it was faith in
God and faith in each other; it
was the purity of their girlish
lives; it was their desire tor
Justice for all and a realization
that truth is the mother of
every virtue. that prompted
those seven school girls to
organize the p. E. o. Sister.
hood, and to further encourage
its growth, so that itnwould ex-
pand. and deepen and spread,
until more than their little
band was lead. n y
The p. E o. Sisterhood is not
a club-it reaches beyond club
dom. We possess all the es-
sential qualities of a club, but
we possess more. We are sis
tiers for now and forever.
What the Masonic order IS to,
men so is the p. E. o. to women
We, like them. select our own
material. This insures unity
and throws the chain of mystery
around our society, making it's
labors easy and Its obligations
pleasant. II y Our ideas
are the'very highest, the most
noble and .the best. All that
you admire in women helps to
constitute P E. o. We cult
vate a love Tor refinement, for
culture and beauty. I cannot
tell the Emeaning of P. E. o.
BY our &C tions we prove to you
our knowledge of their mean
ing.
Faith, love, purity, justice
and truth represent the FIVE,
points of our star. No wonder
that it flashes, scintilates and,
shines"

Lost The State.

The late Senator Allen G..
Thurman, of Ohio, was by no
means an abstenious man.
Like a sailor. he enjoyed his
grog, and although he was
regular in his potations he sell
dom pass ed the line of perfect
sobriety. Once upon a time
his wife, leaving for a visit to
friends, exacted from the Judge
promise that he would be a
"teetot aler" during her absence
On the day of Mrs. Thurman's
return, the judge stepped in
the dining room before going
to welcome her to take d drop
of that which he had abstained
during her absence. While in
tine act of pouring whisky into
his glass he heard Mrs. Thur
man pattering down the stairs.
Quickly putting his left hand in
which he held the glass behind

If the drift toward imperial,
ism continues much longer,
instead of the Fourth of July
being celebrated with rejoicing
as the day when America
declared her independence and
the grand document, the Decla-
ration of Independence, was
given to the world; it will be
known as the day when few
men vino did not know what a
glorious thing it was to be
subjects OF a country like
England. what a blessed priv.
lege it was TO be taxed without
representation, how kind Eng.
land was to make laws for
America and to rule from
London-as we now rule the
Philippines from Washington
that England was ruling Amer
lea Tor the best interests of
Americans and was giving to
Americans all the liberty and
privileges it was best for them
to have, but not all the priv.
leges enjoyed by the English
just as we are now treating the
Filipinos-yet with all these
blessings and more like these
men went and toolishly declar-
ed this country independent
and would not longer be blessed
by being ruled under the plea
of destiny and divine right.

Annex Cuba.

Mark this down. If the
sugar people, backed by the
Republican administration has
its sweet will, and we think it
will, the Cubans freedom will
be of short duration. Senator
Steve Elkins of unsavory fame
has in a resolution provided
for the annexation by the U. S.
of the Island of Cuba. There
is the milk in the infant indus
try bottle for you. and there is
the reason why the Republican
senate killed the "Accldents"
reciprocity wishes and that &C.
counts for why the Cubaus are
to be starvedninto the annexa-
tion. The saying is "let the
hide go with0the tail" and the
party in power is working on
that principal for it thinks that
before Cuba was given her lib
erty we had scooped all valu-
able franchises any way. Now
W here is the McKinleyism of
the party to be found.

The doctrine of Imperia lism
has challenged Democracy to
mortal combat on American

question? The fate of unborn
millions depends upon our de-

stand firm on the Declaration of
Independence.

The following introduction of

Missouri to an audience in a

CLAIMS DAMAGES.

Samuel T. Law, who moved to Can
ton from Auglaize county with his
family, to work in the Stark Brush
factory, has sued Nicholas Falla and
other members of the company for
$750, alleged to be damages for viola
ton of contract. Law asserts that he
was brought here, under contract for
one year and that the terms Of pay.
ment were agreed upon. 1t is claimed
that he conformed to the terms of the
contract on his part, but that the COM
pany has refused to pay him what is
due. He figures that in moving to the
city and in lost time and wages he has
been damaged to the amount of s75C
and asks judgment for that amount.
McCarty & Mcdowell and Fl. g. Pontius
are attorneys in the case.

X-RAY BURNS.

DR.. j. Mount Bleyer, of $40 Lexing-
ton avenue, who for years has been ex-
perimenting with X-rays, announced
yesterday that he has discovered that
the so-called X-ray burns are really
infection.
During the bombardment, he says,
particles of dirt and germs in the at
mosphere are carried by the strong
light into the skin. He also announ-
ces that he has demonstrated the fact
that by the application of a coating Of
paraffin or the use Of a paraffin shield
the full force of the rays can be turned
on for any length of time without in
fection or injury to the patient.
This, he says, will make it possible
for physicians and surgeons in the fu-
ture to treat cancer with the full force
of the light, and will do away with the
aluminium shield now in use, which
only permitted quarter of the rays
to filter through.
Speaking Of his discovery, DR.. Bley-
er said:
"Since their discovery and their ap-
plication in medico-surgical work re-
ports have spread throughout the pro-
lesson and lay public Of grave danger
accompanying the use of the Days,
owing to the fact that they produce
so-called burns by exposure to them,
"Let me say that all timidity in the
future application Of X-rays can be al
layed. II the rays are applied under
certain precautions and the proper pre-
cautions used no such conditions can
be possible. i speak now from actual
employment of the rays daily to the
wall for aid In gaining early diagnos-
tic signs of tubercular and other allied

ST. p1ERREs NEWSPAPER.

Mr.. Robert t. Hill, OF the Geologic
al Survey, who returned recently from
Martinique, tells an interesting story
of the enterprise of Rev. Father Nc
Grail, chaplain of the Dixie. When
the vessel reached Ft. de France,
Father Mccall realizing the value to
party of a complete file of La Colonie
(the only newspaper published in st.
Pierre) for the year prior to the de-
struction Of that city, and especially
those issues of the two months imme-
diately preceding the eruption, went
about over Ft de France collecting
stray copies here and there until n
nally he had a complete file for the
IL months up until the city was de-
stroyed.
These he intended for the use Of
the Dixon party, and was about to
distribute them among the various
members, when Mr.. Hill called his at
tention to the vast value of this per-
haps the only file of LIE Colonie for the
IL months up until the eruption in ex-
istence and which gives the details
of the Mont Pelee phenomena from
the day the volcano first shovel signs
of activity up until the day before st.
Pierre was swept from the face of the
earth; so, instead of following up his
intention, Father Mccall kept the file,
which is still in his possession, and
which in all likelihood will be de-
posted in the Library of Congress. A
movement is now on foot to secure
this valuable file for the Library,
which will in all probability be sue
cessful.
The work Of gathering together
copies of LIE Colonie involved a great
deal of walking about from house to
house. The people of Ft. de France
this respect Father Mccall had no diff
ficulty in securing them.-Washington
