TIE Democratic members OF the General
Assembly, in conference last night in tie
hall of the House of Delegates, with se.-
enty-three members present, fulfilled tho
predictions OF the Dispatch. and adoptsd
as the sense of the gathering a resolution
1roviding for the election Of commission

of the Commonwealth, and their appo1as-
1nent four years later and thereafter by
the judges of the Circuit Courts OF tns

and old Confederate soldiers and oths-s
holding the Office, to be continued IN tnet:
tenure for more than one term The new
Constitution provides that If such officers
are elective hey shall be ineligible to re-
election for the succeeding term. This n.
eligibility clause gave rise to the dssirs
TO devise some satisfactory plan Whereby
efficient commissioners might be retaineG
IN office. The advocates OF popular eiec'
ton, and those OF appointment. were SO
evenly matched in the House, that she

someone Of your friends about him,
for almost everyone has heard Of this
famous lecturer. He lectures tomor-
row night for the benefit Of the High
School Athletic association. A letter
received by the boys says:
MY subject will be The Philoso-
ply Of Wit and Humor' and Stories
Around the Stove My talk Will be
along scholastic lines, orthodox and
pure as a star--at the same time ]
will drop down as much fun and
cause as much laughter as can with
out making the school girls and boys
go into fits. Every story I tell win
be like a parable. They will illustrate
my philosophy. which is to show the
difference between wit and humor,
and satire and ridicule.
ut will be a lesson IN rhetoric and
logic to the school-and so simple
that the 10-year-old child can laugh
and learn.

STRENGTH.
First Instructions From the Emil
nent Professor Coulton Heevers.

There is no royal board to math-
sioners or strength. One must have
push to obtain knowledge of math-
ematics, pull to get in the county
board and push and pull to gain
strength. I call your attention to
this so that if you think you can
get strong without work you will not
join this club, because 1t is better
for you to stay out than to be dis
appointed.
The human body is composed prin-
cipally Of liquids, bone, flesh, and, in
many cases, punk, the last named
element being surrounded by thick.
hard bone, shaped like globe. This
globe is called the skull, and is gen.
orally water-tight, nature having
formed 1t so cleverly that nothing
can get out and less can get in.
The punk, or, as 1t is sometimes call
ed, the brain, directs all movements
of the body. Remember this, and If
necessary save this article in order
to keep it in mind.
First, let us consider the stomach
which an eminent specialist has apt
1y called mans boiler" AS long as
your boiler is we'll filled with coal
and water you will keep up steam
Begin with breakfast, which should
always be eaten in the morning. Eat
plenty of fruit, two or three apples
or oranges. one quart of oats, rye
barley or wheat at least one pound
of meat, a few slices of toast, a
couple of soft boiled eggs and drink
few cups Of milk. Our luncheon
should be Of generous proportions
Let your dinner at or 7 p M be q
hearty one. If inclined to nervous
ness, drink two cups of coffee al
each meal. If you feel hungry al
night, eat light lunch, doughnuts
pie. cake, cold beans or cold pork
chops. Raw oysters or Droiled lob
ster are good "to go to bed on"
Next the lungs. Three times a day
exercise them vigorously in the fresh
air. Fill them to their capacity
then slowly empty them. Do this
exercise 5000 times in the morning
$500 times at noon and 10000 times
at night. Or, better still, run II
miles three times day.

III THE THEATRES:
~

Anna Held opened an engagement
in THE Little Duchess" at the Spo-
kane theater this afternoon to a
crowded house. She will repeat the
performance tonight. The Baltimore
American has this to say Of the star
and play:
'As a vehicle for Miss Held's tai
ents "The Little Duchess" is beyond
criticism. There is every opportunity
for the display of the vivacity and
charm in which she is inimitable. and
there is enough variety in the triple
role of the Little Duchess, Claire de
Brigon and the Paris street gamin
to give good play for her versatility.
Her performance last night was
marked by a charm and witchery Pc
culiarly her own. After the second
act the demand for speech was so
great that Miss Held was forced to
