There is certain lady who is ad-
dicted very strongly to the art of max
ing up. What she does exactly is a
mystery to all but herself and her
maid, but the effect Is precisely as if
she had a thick coat of enamel or
lacquer all over her face. A good
deal Of discussion has ensued as to
whether this is renewed every day
after additions On this point q dear
friend Of hers observed: "Of course
not. The expense would be enormous.
Depend on it when she wants to wash
she goes to some place where they
clean old pictures. London Taller.

Doesn't Respect old Age.

It's shameful when youth fails to
show proper respect for old age, but
just the contrary in the case of DR..
Kings New Life Pills. They cut off
maladies, no matter how severe and
irrespective of old age. Dyspepsia,

to this perfect pill. 25 cents, at Hartz

What will easily be the biggest
wrestling match of the season in
Rockford is the Farmer Burns-Ardahl
match to settle the championship of
the world. Burns holds the champi-
onship of the United States for the
light weight class, and Ardahl has
the same title for the heavyweight
men of the west. Burns has proven
himself to be almost phenomenal
man on the mat, and will doubtless
make good against the big man from
Moline. Ardahl outweighs Burns by
Is pounds, but the farmer has learned
so many tricks of the art during his
years that the advantage in weight
will practically count for nothing.
Ardahl easily has the larger host of
supporters in this city than has
Burns, and will doubtless rule the faN
vorite with the crowd, if not in the
betting.

John Temple Graves Discusses
 the Race Problem
SHOULDN'T LIVE TOGETHER
He Says It Was Never Intended That Two Antagonls,ie Races Should Live In Same country-God
 Is Opening the Way.

Chicago, September S.-John Temple Graves of Georgia delivered an address on The Problem of the Races" this morning before the forty-eighth con- vocation of the University of Chicago. He said, in part:
 Separation of the races is the way the only way. If God hath made of one blood all the nations of the earth, He has also established unto them the metes and bounds of their habitation. He did not intend that opposite and antagonistic races should live together. The prejudice of race is a pointing of providence and the antagonism of peo- pies is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the universe and establishes the indiyidu- ality of the nations. The act that brought these people together on this continent was a sin of the fathers-a sin of greed. an iniquity of trade-and the sorrow and suffering of the present is for the sin of the pasta sin against nature and a sin against God. The curse can be lifted only when nature is vindicated and God is obeyed. The problem will be solved only when the negro is restored to the bounds of his habitat
 Tt Is neither impossible nor im- practicable. The elements are willing and the way Is In reach. This Is not a day of impossibilities. The hand of the Almighty is steadily opening the way.
 l-I1 dx -f tho uao were placed by Providence in our keep ing to furnish an answer to the problem of time.
 '"The south is neither cruel nor unpatri- otio, and the north knows it. The north is neither inmovable nor vindictive, and the south knows if. If either of us is mistaken and if both of us are misunder- stood. we are yet one people and we must meet upon the plane of our brotherhood ands ofss destiir.
 "1 appeal for Caucassisn unit. I appeal for the imperial destiny of our mighty race This Is our country; we made it. We nodded 1t. We control it, and we always will. We have done things: we have mighty things to do yet. The negro Is an accident-an unwilling, a blameless, but an unwholesome, unwel- come, helpless, unassimiliable element in our civilization. He is not made for our time. He Is not framed to share in the destiny which he perplexes and beclouds. Let us put him kindly and humanely out of the way; let us give him better chance than he has ever had In history and let LIS have done with him. Let us solve his problem-frankly, fearessly, nobly and speedily; let us put 1t behind us. Let us purify our politics of the per- plexity. Let us liberate the south to vote and to think like free men upon the mighty issues of the times"

ROOSEVELT STANDS
 PAT WITH PANAMA
CANNOT ENTER INTO ANY AGREE MENT WITH THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT THAT WILL HAM, PER SCOPE OF ACTION.

Washington, September 3.--Additional instructions have been cabled MT. Beau pre-, the American minister at Bogota, re- iterating the position of this government regarding the canal treaty. The state de- partment assumed entire responsibility for every representation of Mir. Beaupre to the Bogota government concerning the treaty and his activity in this direction is heartily endorsed by the President and Secretary Hay. Minister Beaupre's latest instructions advise him that President Roosevelt will not enter into any agree ment with the Colombian government which will hamper his scope of action un- der the canal law This government will not indicate what It's course of action will be in the event the treaty is rejected
 pr. Herran, the Colombian charge. will be asked as to the truth of his reported criticism of Minister Beaupre's activity at Bogota. The alleged criticism by Mir. Herran was not well received at the state department.
 MT. Calvo, the Costa Rican minister, spent some time at the state department in conversation with Secretary Hay about the canal situation. The visit was entirely informal Until September 22. when the time for the ratification of the Hay-Herran treaty expires. the Nica- raguan and Costa Rican governments appreciate that 1t would be improper for the United States to open negotiations looking to the construction of the canal by another route
 Dr. Herran. the acting minister of Co., lombia to the United States, is momentar- fly expecting advices from Bogota an- nouncing the action by the senate com mittee to which was entrusted the ques- tion of proposing amendments to the treatry, which. 1t was hoped. would prove successful and lead to ratification. He believes that sufficient time has now elapsed for full consideration of the subject and that a report has already, or soon will be made. He has not yet made any application for an extension of time from September p. the limit for re- affirmation provided by the treaty.

This time it was the captains wife

found it necessary to send for Colonel

which was granted. The colonel, not
relishing this continued contact with
the crew Of a fever stricken schooner,
now instructed the messenger to an
nounce to the captain that he might
bury any one else who died without q
special permit. During the next few
days nearly all the crew must have
died, for every day there were several
funerals. Meanwhile the Confederate
flag was lowered to half mast. -,
