UNION OF EUROPE FAVORED,
Prominent Statesmen of France Say
That II Is Needed to Resist the
Advance of America.

Ex-Minister Bourgeois and Baron
D'Estournelles, Frenchmen, are rep
resented to be recent converts to the
idea of organizing a United States
of Europe as means to enabling
the old world to resist the industrial
competition of America. NJ. Bour-
gcois is quoted as saying that Eu-
rope, disunited, is spending so per
,cnt. of it's income on its armies, and
cannot hope to withstand the indus
rial rivalry of the United States,
which spends comparatively little for
this purpose. In a lecture. Baron
D'Estournelles said that Europe no
longer ruled the destinies of the
world, and that, linked with the i'm
portance of the United States as a
formidablezzfiral, WAS the fact that
Europe had been squirting the yellow
races to rivalry. and their COMPETE
tion must be reckoned with. Europe
must henceforth seek strength in
union. Her peoples must learn to
settle their differences amicably. A
federated Europe was in no wise
Utopian. A United States of Europe
was the urgent necessity of the day.

WAS ALL A "PUT.UP JOB"
The Famous Debate Between Champ
Clark and Gr0syenor.

Washington, Jan. 22.-"All the
worlds stage" including the ma
tional House of Representatives.. A
few days ago the members were en-
tertained by a violent political de-
bate between Representative Charles
Ii. Grosvenor, OF Ohio, and Repre-
sentative Champ Clark. The new
members marveled at the wonderful!
supply OF information possessed by
the two men. They had figures,
remnants OF history, records OF past
congresses, scraps from political
platforms, apt 8 or 'es, and pertinent
quotations from newspapers ready
for instant use. 1t was an interest
ing gy informative and even exciting
debate. 1t was also very earnest
and the sergeant-at.arms kept his
eve on the two contestants warily,
watching for the outbreak which
might demand his services.
Now it develops that the two rep
resentatives were merely rehearsing
an entertainment which they give to
lyceum bureau and Chautauqua
societies. Formerly Mr.. Clark had
as a partner in these enterprises
Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver, who
quit when he was sent to the Senate.
Then he engaged Charles B. Lands,
OF Indiana, who became a candidate
for governor at the behest OF Sena-
tor Beverage. Now he seeks Gener-
al Grosvenor, the sage OF Athens, as
his partner. The two men appear at
80 much per night" and conduct a
political debate as one would be pull
ed off in the House OF Representa-
tives. These contests are said to be
very thrilling, and infinitely more in
teresting than the real thing. The
dress rehearsal the other day was
very fine.

The antiquary, when his son an

twins are regarded as a misfortune.
In Africa, that hut wherein twins are
born is looked on as unholy. They
burn it to the ground. The twins
themselves may not mingle with 9TH
children; they are compelled to live
a wild and lonely life. On the Island
OF Bali, near Java, the birth of twins
in family means the forced depart
ure OF the family to the seashore for
SIX months. They must 60 to the
sea; they must battle thrice daily;
they mustsay certain prayers. That
is the ceremony of publication. They
think on Ball Island that purifca-

FOOD TEST is BEGUN.
Government Using Clerks as Diet
Subjects to Get Results.
Greatest Care Taken to Secure Ac-
curate Information in Regard to
Effect of Food Adulterants
aud Preservatfves.

DIR. W. II. Wiley, chief chemical ex-
pert of the department of agriculture,
has begun the series of experiments
into the effects of adulterated foods,
with IL clerks as subjects. A kitchen
and a dining-room have been fitted
up in the basement Of the chemistry
building for carrying 'on the expert
ments. At noon the other day each Of
the subjects was weighed, and then all
ate their first government meal. For
two weeks they will be served with
plain, substantial food. At the end of
that period the six who have shown
the most proficiency in keeping their
personal records of the experiment will
be formed into the first table, at which
preseryatives will be fed.
After each man Vas weighed he was
given a thermometer and told that he
would be expected to take his tenn
perature three times day. After the
first table has been served with food
containing preservatives and adulter-
ants for two weeks, the men will go
back to honest food, and the other six
will take their turn at the preserva-
tives. The experiments will be con-
tinued until results are evident,
The preservatives and adulterated
foods that have been stored in the
larder of the experimental building
have all been carefully analysed and
weighed. Strict account will be taken
of the amount of food taken by each
subject daily. DR.. Wiley says it is
doubtful if the results of the expert
ment will be. obtained in time for sub
mission to congress at this session ia
the interest of a pure-food law.
Manufacturers of adulterated food
stuffs and makers of preservatives as
well as the general public are taking
great interest in the experiment, for
it is the first time that such an official
inquiry has been undertaken on thor
oughly scientific basis. The meat
packers who use borax as a preserva-
tive are especially Interested.

Washington, January 22.--The
mystery OF President Roosevelt's
visits to forest near Tennallytown
was cleared up to-day.
The President goes out there dur
ing the early morning and spends an
hour welding an AK against the trees
OF the forest.
He is accompanied in this latest ef-
fort to rid himself of his surplus ener-
gy by Clifford Pinchot, forester ofthe
department. OF agriculture,
The forest near Tennallytown be-
longs to the Dutch Reformed church,
which President Roosevelt attends.
The trees on the land are so close
together that they do not have a
chance to grow, and the trustees OF
the church determined to thin them
out.
They asked President Roosevelt. to
request Forest Pinchot to visit the
land and mark the trees which should
be removed.
The President replied that he would
attend to the matter, SO he notified
Mr.. Pinchot to be on hand early in
the morning with a couple Of axes
Tho President and the forester at.
ter deciding that tree should be re.
moved proceeded to remove it.
Fully fifty big trees have been re.

WANTS RAILROADS TO
FURNISH PASSES
10 all State Officials. representative
Oliver Introduces Constitutional
Amendment in Missouri
House.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 2l,-Rep-
resentative Robt. b. Oliver OF Cape
Girardeau introduced an amend
ment to the const tuition to-day re-
curing railroads to furnish passes
during their official lives,
;, Mr., Oliver says he considers it one
OF the most important measures
pending in the Legislature. 1t COM
pels all railroads in the state, under
penalty OF forfeiture Of charter and
all right to do business in the state,
to iissue free passes te-alA- HE state
officials from the governor down,
and including judges OF the supreme
court members OF the Legislature,
circuit and appellate judges, sheriffs
and superintendent OF state institu-
tions.
As the law now stands it is felony
or state officials and members OF the
legislature to travel on railroad
passes. This law was enacted in 1887.
Railroad men say that it has been
almost a dead letter, as a majority
OF officials and more than half the
members OF the Legislature find means
OF travelling on the railroad without
paying fare.
The claim is also made that rail
road passes are sometimes used for
other than legitimate purposes, when
the Legislature is in session. 1t is
Mr.. divers opinion that if the rail-
roads were compelled to issue passes
to the officials stated no particular
hardship would be inflicted on them
and at the same time they would be
free from any influence pass might
have upon them.
Several states have laws similar to
the enc proposed by Mr.. Oliver.

bash's building into Paducah, but
nothing definite has been given out
regarding 1t, and in fact, nothing de.

It is reported that the Wabash will
ask the city of Paducah to give it in
the neighborhood Of 800, 900 to build
into paducah. and it is the prelimina-
ries to making q formal proposition
that are supposed to be discussed at
the meeting to be held this evening.
The Wabash is part Of the Gould
system. and one of the largest and
most valuable railroad properties in
the country. 1t is supposed that it de-
sires TO cross the river and connect its
new Illinois lines which are now be-
ing built, with the NJ, O. and st. L.
here, and go to Memphis over that
line, there connecting with the
Gould's big roads, and securing di-
rect line from st. Louis, Chicago aud
other big cities to the gulf. The en-
trance of the road to Paducah would
be big thing for Paducah, and would
bring the Wabash into competition
with the Illinois Central.

There'was good playing on both

tenth inning by running down a wild
ball near the grsndstand and landing
