nection that is not dependent on money or energy. This may account for the few English women who marry Americans and tie greater number of American womerl who marry Englishmen.
 But in the matter of American influence in England.
 am not one of those who believe that the American girl is an active advocate of America in her new English home. l do believe that in so far as she is per sonally concerned that she exacts from her English husband the consideration and treatment that she would from an American husband The American wife demands much more than the English wife. But beyond this she is no longer an American.
 Knowing as she does the weakness of the American aristocratic system she fairly revels in the institutional character Of the English aristocracy and the aim and ambition is far from republicanism It is afe to say that the English woman who has been acc. stoned D centuries of position Tor her family. is far more re- publican in her views than the American girl whose family position advanced with family fortunes The wives of peers are more royalistic'' than peers daughters married to peers. Our democrats resting on the steps of edwards throne are more imperialistic in their views than the Eng fish tories.
 If this be true, 1t is difficult to see .ex- actly how the American woman who has married the English lord is responsible for promoting the so-cailed international good wi1.
 An American irl, finding herself an actual, recognized part of the English ar- istocratic system, in deed, perhaps, the mother of future member of .ne house or lords soon looks upon her life in the United States as that portion of her ca- reer which she Is only too willing to for get Although several have become wives and mothers of English lords there does not seem to be much evidence to offer that the American relatives are anxiously desired in the ancestral homes; while on the contrary there is abundance of evi- dence to give weight to the suspicion that they are not wanted If cordiality is not emphatic in the family or domestic reIa- tion. why should 1t be so in the family of nations?
 American women have been favored bv King Edward. This favor has brought them before the entire world and Amer lean Journalists have magnified their i'm portance. It is agreeable to the Amer lean pride that the daughters of Uncle sam should shine at court and pleasing 10 peheve that they are as influential as represented. But, it Is believed. that when the Prince of Wales ascends fne throne he will not favor the American girl. Her social sun will set. English maids and matrons now freely express tne belief that too much importance has been given to the fair transatlantic cousin, and when George is king the in- huence of American women will pass as faVor done in reign that is no more.

Payne Treasures Cartoon.

HJHC ifSoouFCS CdTtOOn. From the Washington Times.
 Chairman Payne treasures a unioue car toon of himself which he has framed and hanging in his committee room at Wash ington.
 It represents the chairman of the com mittee on ways and means sitting at the table in his committee room and lodging volley of sugar beets being hurled at his head. The missiles are coming at him thick and fast, and one has landed upon the top of his head. Still MT. Payne smiles and looks happy.
 On the cartoon is the caption, "Michi gan's contribution of beets to Chairman Payne"
 MT. Payne saw the cartoon and was so much pleased with it-for 1t is an excel lent hkeness-that he hunted up the New York artist MT w. A. Dudley of inc Magazine and Press Artists association. and asked to purchase the original pen- and-ink drawing. MT. Dudley presented him with the sketch, with which MT. Payne wss so we'll pleased that he return ed the artist a check for tidy amount
 MT. Payne had had copies made to pre- sent to his friends.
 When a beet sugar man enters the com mittee room the cartoon always attracts his attention.

 That venerable classic myth i.out Bel Iona letting loose the dogs of war" has come to have a new meaning in these days. For the character of her canine deputies has changed even more com pletely than the accoutrements of the war goddess herself. whose classic con- tours are difficult 70 recognize in the garb of Red Cross nurse. The modern dogs of war are not scourges O. famine and destruction as in the days Of cd. Thel- mission is now pre-eminentl,, one oi mer. cy-succorers of man in dishess. Indea,., the intelligence of the dog in tSsis caJac- ity has long been used by the monks of the Hospice of St. Bernard in the rescue of the unfortunate Alpine travellers. And now the military authorities of Italy and Germany are employing these dumb aux diaries for scouting and ambulance work.
 For several years our war department has been seriously contemplating the training of dogs for use in the army on a large scale. At the present day the British army is the only one besides our own in which dogs are not trained either
 
 ed. They have been found very valuable in campaigning and few German regi- ments now lack their canine contingents. In fact, the animals are as carefully drilled as the men. Properly selected and educated, these dogs make the very best sort of scouts. They are particularly use- ful in maintaining communications be- tween outposts and pickets and the main body of the troops. Also they do excel lent work in hunting up missing men,
 The business of training war dogs has been reduced to ap erfects ystem. It is under the direction of an officer who has special expertness in such matters and who is allowed to select his own assist ants from among the corporals and pri- yates. There Is a complet codrse of canine pedagogy, with lessons as complete in grammar and arithmetic as those for children.

The celebration of Palm Sunday
at st. Johns Epiicopal Church,
yesterday morning was attended
by an unusually large congrega-
ton. Arclldeacon George G. Hall,
the rector Of the church, preached
and the choir, under the direction
of c. William Il. Bradford, gave
a fine rendition OF "'The Palms, in
Guiding IL duet by Masters LaNlert
Guyer and Norman Lowry, u BARI
tone solo by John A. Mahonsy,
anl a chorus by the full choir.
DR.. Hall spoke on the signiiic-
auce Of Palm Sunday. He describ-
ed how on previous occasions
Christ had stunned notoriety md
had told his disciples to tell no
man that he was the Christ. On
Palm Sunday. with the knowledge
that the time had come when lie
must give up his life for the saliva
ton Of the world, he threw aside
his reserves and took upon him
self lis true character Of king.
No longer did he seek the quie-
tude of previous occasions, but
went boldly forth npon his jour-
ney to the holy city where he
knew that betrayal and death AVA
tied him. 1t was a triumphal pro-
cession, yet the Savior preserved
That meekness and humility which
him as the king Of human
Ity, and while all things were his
70 command he showed that the
lumblest was all that he desired.

MctbOdiEts to Get Together.

BALTIMORE. March 24.-As a re-.
suit of the meeting here of a Joint COM
mission of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South the general conference
Of the northern church will be urged to
adopt at its next meeting a plan for
federation in several branches of work.
The adoption of this plan will result
in a consolidation of mission work and
the publishing houses at Shanghai, Chi
na, the publication of :, union paper in
Mexico and the preparation Of union

common order Of public worship. The
northern commissioners acknowledge
that their church made q mistake in
beginning the work of revision of the
hymn book without first inviting an
equal committee from the southern
church. 1t has therefore been decided
that the work Of revision must begin
over again. The plan of federation has
already been adopted by the general
conference Of the southern church

ELIZABETH CITY, n. e., March p.
Twelve good men and true, after
many hours of deliberatioll, have found
James Wilcox guilty of the murder Of
his sweetheart, ella Cropsy, with
whom she left the parlor Of her par
ents' home on the night of Nov. IL last
and was never again seen until her
body was given up by the river that
flows close to her home several weeks
after.
The verdict that young Wilcox was
guilty of the murder of Miss Ella
CrOpsy seems 10 have met with popular
approval, though it was not considered
probable on Saturday that the jury
would so report. District Attorney
Ward said he never looked for any ver-
dict other than murder in the second
degree. Lawyer Aydlett, for the de-
fense. will enter an appeal on behalf Of
the prisoner. He will seek to set aside
the verdict on the ground that it was
not consistent with the evidence
brought ont III the trial. Therp7is little
prospect of the prisoner paying the
death penalty on April %, the date set
by Judge Jones. AS the supreme court
does not meet until next September 1t
is more than probable that it will bs
twelve months before the case Ia dis
posed Of finally.

states will soon be held, although there
are reports that the demands of the
miners may be made without further
conferences.
