And a Letter Home With Business
 Ending.

And a Letter Home With a Business
 Ending
 Two Atchison girls are attending school in Washington. Recently they were taken to a presidential reception at the White House by Congressman Mont Cochran of the Fourth Missouri District. "I never felt so proud and naughty in my life as when our man slammed the carriage door and called out The White House." writes one of the damsels in letter which finds it's way to us. When we reached the White House, there was stream of carriages four blocks long. There were so many on the inside that we had to stand on the portico over half an hour It was so iammed where we waited that when I got one foot up, couldn't put it down. When the doors finally opened, the crush was awful and I lost very much prized belt buckle. However I was thankful to get in with my clothes still on The presi- dent was very cordial but as homely as ever. I don't like to criticise my hosts, but I do believe President and Mrs. Roosevelt are the plainest people I ever saw in my life, It was the diplo- matic reception, and I never saw such gorgeous uniforms or such beautiful gowns in my life. The East room is simply faryland at these receptions. It is so large, and the chandeliers are so beautiful, and the quaint. old fash toned pictures, and the magnificent for al decorations, and the gay, brilliant crow, make an impression not soon for gotten. Just outside of the East room was large band, and at the opposite end of the main corr dor was the Ma rine band, stationed just inside the con- servatory. It was the loveliest of all to walk through the long, cool conserva- tory, with the Marine band playing. We were presented to dear old Admiral Dewey. He is the incest man I know, with one or two exceptions. He has such charming manners and actually thanked MT Cochran fof the honor (ahemD of meeting us!. I met a number of girls from our school Also, Mrs. Mcclure, the Kansas City news paper woman who attended the Pome- roy reception in Atchison. MT. Coch- ran took us to Harvnv'e after the re ception for supper, and was lovely to us. Mrs. Cochran is going to take us to call on the Chinese minister and Mrs. Wu. She is going to have a dance at the National, and we are to be invit- ed, and l simply must have a new gown and long one. I simply won't be seen in short dresses any longer ''-Atchison Globe.

PROBING SUBWAY DISASTER.
Efforts of AuthO ritses to Find the Cause
 and Elk Responsibility.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The authorities are energetically trying to learn why the terrific explosion of dynamite oc- cured which killed six people and did 1 so much damage in the vicinity of the Grand Central station. This is with @ view to fixing the responsibility. Dis trict Attorney Jerome said tonight that he had come to the conclusion that | fire undoubtedly caused the explosion. He had also ascertained that Epps, the powderman, had a candle in the dyna- mite house and with it had lit another and longer candle. Tn doing this, the district attorney thinks. a fire may have been started which ignited the paraf1in- ed paper in which the cartridges were wrapped.
 MT. Jerome has concluded, from in- formation from various sources, that at the time of the explosion there were between 125 and 200 pounds of explos- i've in the house at the time of the SUD- posed fire.
 John B. Mcdonald, chief contractor Of the Rapid Transit Tunnel issued a long statement tonight in the form of an in- terview concerning the explosion. He
 
 of the accident.
 MT. Mcdonald expressed himself as believing SubC Contractor Shaler in a statement he made to- day that his dy- namite in storage was within the limit allowed by the city ordinance
 In speaking of the story of Epps, which suggests that a fire probably caused the explosion, MT. Mcdonald de- clared that dynamite would not explode from fire, that it could be burned just like sawdust.
 MT. McDonald also said that he thought that the city would not have to pay for the damage from the explo- sion.
 All day long architects and builders have been going over the buildings, public and private, which were dam aged by the explosion An estimate of the amount of money which must be expended to repair the damage was is- sued, with the statement that it will necessarily approximate. The estimate said Murray Hill, $75,0oO. Grand Union hotel, $40, 900. Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital, $2,O0O Grand Cen tral Station, including property at No. Vanderbilt avenue, which is owned by the railway corporation, $10000. The heaviest loser among the citizens was w. H. Payne, with a loss of $40500. w. R. Brixie, of the Murray Hill ho- tel, whose skull was fractured it is reported, is in a critical condition to- J night Epps, the powder man, is seri- ously hurt, but it is hoped he will sur vive.

lures as unauthorized, as otherwise MT. Balfour would not have been in a posi- tion to promise the papers on the sub ject, this promise showing that no fur ther negotiations were afoot.
 This was the impression in the Hobbies as result of the announcement of the government leader, and semi official statements in government journals this morning declare that the outlook for peace is not hopeful.
 Those acquainted with Boer senti- ments assert that Messrs. Fischer and Wolmarans and Generals Schalkburger and Botha are willing to recognize Brit ish annexation, while MT. Kruger and Dr. Leyds, General De Wet and Presi- dent Steyn will insist upon independ- ence. Therefore at present it is consid- cred hopeless to arrive at any agreed basis of negotiations.
 The Standard this morning declares that the government will have nothing to do with any overtures from MT. Kru- ger or his entourage.

 London. Jan 29-The announcement
 of MT. Balfour regarding the proposals for peace caused a sensation in the Hobbies of parliament. Lord Rosebery is generally credited with having
 brought about this movement on the part of the Dutch government
 1 It is recalled that in an interview published about Christmas time Dr. 1 Kuyper. the Dutch premier. was repre- scented to have urged the impossibility of Hollands intervening in South Af- rica unless she had reason to think | that both parties wished it. Conse- | quently, it is regarded as certain that l the present move was inspired by the i Boer delegates.
 The Petit Bleu of Brussels, the organ of the Krugerites, fatly denied last l night that the Boer delegates had charged anyone to make peace propos- 1 aIs and professed to be in entire ignor- ance of the Dutch proposal. 1 The Hague correspondent of the 1 Daily Mail declares that he has ascer- tained that Dr. Leyds inspired the | Dutch foreign secretary, who was fur ther advised by Professor Asser, the international iurist, and adds that Dr. A1.u ppY I,,+; ~f the Transvaal, is apparently attempt ing to draw MT Chamberlain, the colo nial secretary, to disclose the terms conditional upon the waiving of inde- pendence
 The Daily News this morning claims credit for the initiation of the peace movement This paper says that after Lord Rosebery's speech at Chesterfield it sent Dr. Bisschop, who was recently counsel for the Dutch government be- fore the compensation commission, and is neither Briton nor Boer, on a mis- sion to the continent to invite the Boer delegates to consideration of the basis of negotiations which Lord Rosebery suggested namely, to grant the Boers self government on the Canadian mod el: no unnecessary prolongation of the military occupation; complete amnesty the Boers and colonial rebels, and grants of money to enable the Boers to re-start their farms.
 Dr. Bisschop had long conferences with the Boer delegates on the conti- nent, with the exception of MT. Kruger But he was assured that the ex-presi- dent had delegated his authority, and that it Was not necessary to him. Ac- cording to the paper Dr. Bisschop per- suaded the delegates to hold confer ence and discuss his proposals. Then followed the visit of Dr, Kuyper to London.
 The Daily News declines to reveal the outcome of these conferences, but prac- tically avows that the Boer delegates still insist upon independence and con- siders that the government ought to re- ply setting forth Great Britains terms and leaving the responsibility xof re- fusal to the Boers.
 In referring to this matter editorially the Daily News draws the inference that the government has already re- piled and has rejected the Dutch over

l the Brooks club was a distinct contri- | button in any church and that there | was nothing that could be organized in
 parish that would be of such mutual benefit for both rector and members of the church.
 I He said there were philosophical and political clubs on the one hand and so- cial on the other hand, but a church club was different from all these. Rev. Dr. Baker said that church club was unique in that it was formed for the purpose of good fellowship and for the purpose of looking at great problems from a religious side. He said that when a church club takes up sociolog- ical questions, or art or anything, it was done to probe into it's religious basis and to see what art or whatever the question might be, would have to do with the religious side of man.
 In speaking of the needs of the club Rev. pr. Baker said that it was abso- lutely impossible for rector to get around and see all the men in the par ish, and for this reason it was most beneficial to him. He said that it was a benefit to the members as it gave them d cldnCe lU IHtGL GdCH OIDGr Ill., dividually and collectively, and to know a little more of the many sides of church life.
 ''It sets up high ideal" the speak CT said "It belongs to you. You are the members and yours is the hesponsi- bility and privilege. l need your back
 ing shoulder to shoulder, if I am to carry on the work of this parish as it has been carried on in the past There are duties that belong to the vestry and to the rector, and there is a null tiplicity of work that can only be done by a body of men who get together and say This is our work and it is work that God has given us to do. D
 In speaking of the scope of the club Rev. pr. Baker said that there were 250 possible members and that he hoped they would all band together and share the opportunity that may be placed be- fore them. The speaker was heartily applauded as he took his seat.
 The other speakers were John B. Fitch, Charles E. Graves, Rev. Henry Heaton Robertson.
 It is expected that several meetings will be held during the year and some thing special will be prepared for each one.
 Rev. Dr. Baker, the organizer of the club deserves great praise for his ef- forts in forming the club.

Her husband was Judge Bennett, who was for many years a New Haven citizen of note and greatly esteemed.

INTERNATIONAL ETIQUETTE.
Why Should Not Republics Pay More
 Attention to One Another?

Why Should Not Republics Pay More | Attention to One Another?
 Republics were always given to mak- ing more of monarchies than monarch ies, of republics, and our representa-
 tion by special embassy al the corona
 ton of King Edward VII is not out of the order of history. But several ques- tionS concerning the event will occur to
 the thoughtful observer. Now that we have become a world power, and are no longer hermit-erab in the internation-
 al swim, is it not time that we should
 expect an exchange of such civilities?
 If MT. Roosevelt should be reelected,
 or some other citizen should be chosen
 our next president, will it not be fit for
 England to send special embassy,
 with complete outfit of admirals and generals to represent her at his in-
 auguration? If not, why not? Is it not
 time, too, that republics should begin
 making something of one another? It is now rather late for us to send a spe- cial embassy to honor the inauguration
 of President Loubet of France, but there is a president of Switzerland ClCCteu every year, WUuSS inauguration we might properly recognize in some such way; and there are presidents more or less convulsively installed throughout Spanish and Portuguese America who have logically the same
 right to a little attention from us that the King of Great Britain has. It will not do to answer that they are unim- portant powers; for al nations are equal before international equity and cour- tesy, if not international law It might be more reasonably urged that presi- dents are chosen so often that a per- petual special embassy could alone keep up with their inauguration; but this is an objection that the monarchies could apply to our own case with the same risk of wounding our self-nationaI sen- abilities Besides, kings being mortal they really are mortal, little as we are coming to think it-they may die after their coronations as rapidly as presi- dents are elected Apparently this mat ter has not been fully thought out yet. --Harper's Weekly.

HOW HE LOVED HER.

A negro man went into MT. Els office for the purpose of instituting a divorce suit against his wife. MT E-- proceeded to question him as to his grounds for complaint. Noticing that the mans voice failed him, MT, F. looked up from his papers, and saw that big tears were running down over the cheeks of the applicant for divorce.
 Why" said the lawyer, you seem to care a great deal for your wife. Did you love her?"
 Love her, sir? l jest analysed her!"
 This was more than professional dignity could withstand, and MT. E. laughed until the negro offended carried his case elsewhere.-Short Stories.
