= found in the vogue Of
some new and eminenty dainty little
shirts of silk mousseline, crepe de
chine or soft silk, the chief dec
orative detail whereof is comprised
in yoke of lace, that is either con-
tinued in a straight narrow line
down the center of the front, or in
three tapering points, an effect most
ly repeated at the back.
All manner of lace is requisitioned
toward this latest ornamental de-
cree, from the coarse darned filet, to
the flmiest Chantilly. A white silk
maltese, shaped to form a tapering
point down the center, asserted itself
the piece de resistance on a white
crepe dc chine, while a very cobweb-
| like French lace, after amiably shap-
ing a yoke piece, gradually tailed off
in sharp 'dents" in round to simu-
| late bolero, the main fabric of the
affair being a lovely pale blue silk
| lawn. Although, if the truth be told,
| lace takes fully equal share in the
promotion of these really sweet little
shirts. And the notion, when one
comes to reflect, is most ingenious,
since the decree is steadfast that the
simple little Silhouette shall be
maintained. Wherefore is there
nothing left but an infinite variety

THE LOVE OF GOD.

Gods boundless Love and arching sky
Above us when we wake or sleep,
Above us when we smile or Weep
Above us when We live or die.
Gods tireless Love! Beside the cot
OF her sick child the mother sleeps.
The Heavenly Father ever keeps
Unweary watch-He slumbers not.
Gods patient Love! Misunderstood
By hearts that suffer in the night.
Doubted-yet waiting till Heavens light
Shall show how all things work for good.
Gods mighty Love! On Calvary's height
Suffering to save us from our sin,
To bring the Heavenly Kingdom in,
And fill our lives with joy and light
Gods changeless Love! The wandering one
Forsakes, forgets, dishonors; yet,
Repeating, going home, is met
With no reproach-"Welcome My Son!"
Gods endless Love! What will 1t be
When earthly shadows flee away,
For all Eternity's bright day,
The unfolding of that Love to see!

Adventists Are Discussing Their
Conference Boundaries.
More Prominent Workers in De-
nomination Arrive Today.

The principal question that came be-
fore the delegates to the Seventh Day
Adventists' conference convention at the
auditorium today was the proposition to
change the boundary lines Of the North
western and Southwestern Union con-
ferences.
The plan for the division of the confer
ences embraces the scheme to cut off the
states of Kansas, Missouri and Colorado
from the Southwestern Union confer
ence and the states Of Iowa and NebFas-
la from the Northwestern Union con
ference and form Central Union con-
ference.
Such step will involve the transfer
of many thousands of dollars and it Will
receive much deliberate consideration
before final disposition is made of the
proposition The members Of this con-
ference do not feel kindly disposed to the
scheme as it is believed the plan viii
weaken both the Northwestern and this
conference and viii not do an equal
amount of good otherwise
The hour from II O'Clock until noon
was occupied today by Elder A. G. Dan
lels IN presenting this matter.
The sermon at the auditorium last
night was by Elder A. 6. Daniels, presi-
dent Of the general conference, on the
subject, The Second Advent of Christ
as Soul Purifying Doetrine,"
The thought that when Christ shall APP
pear for the second time that we shall be
TO cleanse himself from all '-filthiness of
the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in
the fear of the Lord Was ably present
ed He brought out the fact that Christ's
second coming win bring an end to all
sin and will fully establish the reign OF
grace.
The devotional services this morning at
$50 We're conducted by Elder r. c. Por-
ter of Missouri. The time was spent in
singing songs of praise and in hearing the
testimonials and thanksgiyings of the del
egates.

Of the Iowa conference, accompanied by

BAILEY DENIED IT.
Texan Says he Is Not After the Pres
idential Nomination.


Washington. April 17.-Referring to
the suggestion that he would be an
available candidate for president. Sena-
tor Bailey of Texas said today:

men with whom I have served in con-
gress should deem me worthy and capa-

said has been without any suggestion

tial friends Will not mislead me as to
the real situation which is presented. I
have always considered the presidency
beyond me and beyond any southern
man of ny generation My highest am
bition has always been to serve my peo-
pie faithfully in the senate and my ex-
pectation is that my public life will
close when retire from the senate

view of the matter his old friends In

to the attention of the country as
presidential candidate.

day that he and not Colonel Cochran

A better opportunity for making a
case against a trust could not be found
than the proposed investigation of the
beef trust. 1t is a trust which appears
to have an actual but no nominal ex-
istence. No ambitious promoter has
paraded the accomplishment of a com
bination OF packing house interests. As
far as is known there has been no
stock pooling and surrender of indie
pendent management to one central
control The packing firms appear TO
have preserved their individuality. but
in every other particular the meat bus
mess appears to be under trust man
agement.
The few big firms that have control
Of the business appear to have pareeled
out the territory by secret agreement,
and to have agreed upon a schedule Of
prices They appear to have also agreed
upon certain code of offensive tacties
designed to destroy competition There
is no question but the beef combine. can
deliver beef at any point at a cheaper
price than local competition can afford
This is true in Europe: it is true in the
United States. Tt is almost a waste Of
space to state the reasons why.

tiveness of its employees, as eonp pared

on a huge scale, 1T can afford aii7tsass

cry bit of animal matter brought into
the slaughter houses is converted into
some saIable product on the spot and
with great economy. The village and
city butcher is compelled TO waste much
for which he has paid 6 or cents a
pound
In spite of his Disadvantages. the 10
cal butcher is satisfied with lower
price for his beef thans the trust man
agement demands. and so the trust
watches every local butcher and threat
ems him with ruin unless he buys trust
beef at trust prices If he insists upon
his Independence, he finds competitor
established next door some morning,
and the competitor offers beef at cut
rates. He is an agent of the trust and
he has the backing of millions of CAPT
taI with which to drive out the indie
pendent butcher. Investigation should
ind no difficulty in uncovering the
practices which keep up the price of
meat. It would be impossible 10 find a
jury Of intelligent citizens which would
not agree that the practice is oppres-
siye and unlawful. The task of locating
the responsibility and applying the rem
edy is less easy of accomplishment.
