The Ceremonies at st. Louis.

st. Louis, May 1.-The second of the
dedication ceremonies of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition began at 1870 this
morning with reception to the diplomat
ic corps and representatives of foreign
governments at the st. Louis club. The
weather was nearly as cold as yesterday.
The diplomates wore heavy coats over
their brilliant uniforms and shivered
whenever the biting wind struck them.
The reception lasted an hour. Then the
diplomates and other guests were driven
to the Liberal Arts building escorted by
the entire Eighth cavalry. A crowd
nearly as great as that which witnessed
Yesterdays ceremony had gathered when
President Francis opened the programme.
After an invocation by Rev. Karl Sven
son. ex-senator Thurston, of Nebraska,
was introduced as the chairman of the
day. His remarks were followed by
formal address of welcome by President
Francis to the representatives of foreign
governments. Then, after the Marine
Band had played ala Marseillaise," the
French ambassador, NJ. Jules Jusserand,
responded for France. The Marine
Band then played the Spanish National
Air, after which the Spanish minister,
Ojeda, was introduced and spoke. After
another selection by the band, Rev.
Samuel J. Nicolls pronounced the bene-
diction and the centennial salute of one
hundred guns was fired as the big crowd
left the building.

A LEADING physician of Missouri, IN
an address before the Institute of Homeop-
athy of that State, last week said; at
has been proved that the human body
can do without a vermiform appendix.
Why not perform an operation upon
every infant a few days after birth to
remove the appendix? This would
eliminate the possibility Of an attack of
appendicitis during the after life Of the
individual" Well, if this has to be
done, it we're we'll that it be done quick
ly-and early.

Germany ARitated.

Berlin, May 1.-The German press is
becoming uneasy over King Edwards
visit to Paris. There is a strong impress
sion that England and France are
arranging a deal at Germany's expense,
and that the two countries are planning
a common front against the Germans in
Morocco and elsewhere. The result Of
such an Anglo-French agreement, some
of the papers point out, would be to in
crease Germany's isolation, which would
render it more imperative for the Kaiser
to secure the friendship Of America.

Safe Robbed by Express Messenger

Mexico City, Mex, May 1.-The TACT
that the Wells Fargo express company
was robbed of $42, 900 at Silao last Thurs
day morning has just come to light.
Peculiar circumstances attend the rob
berry. A small safe is usually carried
from the through Mexican Central train
to the Office and thence to the Guanajuato
train by a courier. Instead of taking
the safe to the Office the courier took it to
his home, called in number of his
friends and opened it. The money
was extracted and distributed. Follow
ing the discovery of the robbery about
forty persons were arrested. All but
about $11, 900 was recovered.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY l. 1908.

AT PRESENT the two men most ire
ouently mentioned for the democratic
nomination for President are Senator
German. of Maryland, and Judge Park
or Of New York-with the former in the
ascendant. Both are good men and true,
and either would make a good President,
Int the belief is rapidly growing that
Mr. German should be placed at the
head of the next national ticket and that
e he is nominated he will be elected
While Judge Parker is learned man
and an able iurist, he has had little or no
political experience or training in ma
tional afairs-qualities possessed IN an
eminent degree by Mr.. German In
deed few men in the country have had
better training or more experience along
those lines than Mr.. German. His long
ond able service in the Senate; his In
innate acquaintance with public men and
his knowledge of national affairs and OF
matters in which people are interested
fit him peculiarly for the presidency
Then he is not an untired man, but bis
position is known on all questions likely
70 come before the people at the next
election. He is a straightOut democrat
hut not radical bold leader, but mo-
overbearing a man whom the CONNER
cial interests do not fear and one whom
the people trust. He has ever been
true friend of the south and this sector
should rally to his support at the mex
national convention.

AT THE hearing before the inter
state commerce commission IN New
York yesterday Mr.. Baer asserted
that he is in full control OF the
coal business and can restrict the output
as he pleases. He told the commission
that his corporation has the situation
completely in hand, and that, as the
head of it, he has power to close the
mines. This is an enormous power for
one man to WELD in a country, the boast
Of which is its free institutions. Marine
and railroad transportation are also
ruled by a corporals guard, and the
great mass of the rank and file are but
puppets in the hands of few wire
pullers.

DISPATCHES from Kansas City say
that President Roosevelt was forced to
ride through that city in union car
rage driven by a member of the hack
drivers union. The reception COM
mittee had planned to have the President
occupy a private carriage belonging to a
wealthy woman of Kansas City, whose
coachman is non-union. The officers OF
the union notified the reception COM
mittee that no union driver would ap-
pear in the procession following non
union driver, and the committee changed
its plan. So it seems that few Jehus
can stop the President of the United
States from accepting courtesy from a
subject Comment on such procedure
Is unnecessary.

United States Treasury Department have

amount of 8 and 4 per cent. bonds so
far exchanged for ? per cent. consols

to those of limited means whose all is

To Prevent railroad Wrecks.

Pittsburg, Pa, May IA new de-
vice, consisting ofan electrical equipment,
applied to the rails of locomotives and
designed to stop moving trains in a very
short space, is being tested by several
of the big railroad systems. 1t is claimed
on behalf of the invention that it auto
matically shuts off steam, releases the
air brakes automatically, sounds an
alarm and lights warning signal in the
locomotive cab, permits telegraphic COM
munication between trains and needs no

FLoGGRD HER ADMIRER.-An ac-

mirer in front of the Reading Terminal
Building in Philadelphia yesterday.
The time-noon-did fully as much
credit to the Baroness as the place, for
big and promiscuous crowd witnessed the
flogging, which was a bit of realistic act
ing that made a decided hit not only
with the victim, but with the onlookers

their plaudits. take that, you scamp,

Baroness, as she turned abruptly on the
man, drew a horsewhip from the folds
of her dress, and applied the lash to the
young mans back. The latter jumped
two feet from the pavement with every
swish of the whip, and yelled ooh, ohP
and "Ouchp also in most realistic and
convincing fashion. "Begone, wretch,
and never let me see you more. Go, |
sayr" The Baroness looked immense
as with flushed face, heaviug bosom and
pointed forefnger, she confronted her
annoyer, who, she claims, has logged
her footsteps for five long months and
pestered her with gifts of flowers and bon
bons, and babe him BECOME. The william
took his cue and skunk away, not even
stopping to pick up his hat, which had
been knocked off by the irate Baroness,
or the remains of his nose-glasses, which
lay shattered on the pavement. Per
haps the fogging did not fall as bolt
from the blue on the Baroness admirer,
however. as he skunk no farther than
Eleventh street, above Market street,
where he drew from his pocket a soft
hat, which he may have provided for
just such contingency, and awaited the
return of his damaged derby.

1903 The New Fashion Period 1908

1908 The New Fashion Period 1903
In its inception and design it differs
markedly from the accepted models OF
any previous period. Progress may
be noted, constantly betterward, from
the time when dress designers aimed
rather to display the dress that TO en-
nance the beauty and grace of its wear
er. Then it was mainly a question of
color scheme and trimming artifce
which might be very effective as a dec
orative part of a grand assemblage.
But taken by itself, it looked most
glaringly conspicuous, and very often
was entirely out of beauty tone with its
Tearer.
Now at last, style has evidently seen
the error of its way, for it is drawing
near to nature. The springs leading
creations bear witness that the worlds
greatest designers have come to real
ize that nothing is fairer than the fe.
male form that anything which de-
stoys comfort must destroy beauty.
And that is the simple reason why
Mrs. NJ. Love who has charge of the
dressmaking department at kaufman
Straus & Co, is meeting With such
phenomenal and deserved success.
Mrs. Loves idea is to impart to
every gown style individuality that
nothing can lose. The gowns which,

rectness of detail which Is to day SC
