To Get Beautiful Arms.

Some girls have what they call skinny arms, and certainly they are not graceful or pretty to look at. But fortunately the evolution from bony arms to altogether lovely curves is a much easier accom- plishment than one would suppose
 A girl who is in good general health can develop her arms by dumbbells or Indian clubs She should never exercise euough to produce Jumps of muscle, which are very ugly.
 Fresh air Is absolutely essential to all physical beauty. and the girl who wants pretty arms must get plenty of oxygen into her lungs.
 Sometimes the arm Is pretty in contour, but the texture of the skin Is coarse, rough and even pimply. or the arm will be covered with what is called goose flesh" at intervals.
 In either case there Is something wrong with skin circulation. and friction is re- uuired. To secure proper stimulation of the circulation the arms should be daily scrubbed with a good sized brush.
 Use hot water and soap for this scrub ping and do not be afraid. The unac- customed friction may make the arm a little tender for a day or two, in which case apply a little skin food after the operation. In a very short time you will have grown accustomed to the scrubbing brush, and the result will be a soft, smooth skin surface.

MORGAN NOT DAUNTED
WILL NOT DISCUSS PANAMA FOR BENEFIT OF NEW MEMBERS.
Canal Treaty Will Be First Taken up and the Cuban Covenant Will Follow-Republican
 Plans.

Washington, March 5.-The Republican Senators will makes an united effort to secure action on the Panama canal treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty as speed fly as possible.
 A meeting of the Republican Steering Committee of the Senate was held after adjournment today and this course was decided on.
 The conclusion was reached that bus mess might be greatly facilitated Nby keeping as many Senators as possible in the city and in their seats and the indi- vidual members of the Steering Commit tee agreed to! devote their energies te this end.
 mite information ss to the time that may be consumed in debating the treaties, but it was announced as a rumor that Sena- tor Morgan had said that as there were a number of new members of the Senate he would feel it incumbent on himself to go over the ground completely and even to review much that he had already said.
 The evident purpose of the Republicans is to avoid if possible calls on account of the absence of a quorum and to keep the Senate running as steadily as possi- ble- They are agreed as to the desira- bility of completing the session at an early day.
 The Cuban treaty under the extension provided for in the agreement between this country and Cuba expires at the end of this month. The Panama treaty, how. | ever, will be the first of the two taken up

ONE DEATH AT MAzATLAN.
Riots at Villa Union Over Burning
 of Houses.

Mazatlan, Mex, March 5-There was one death today from the plague.
 The causes of the riot at Villa Union where q mob sought to kill the sanitary inspectors, has been investigated. Two cases of plague having been registered at
 Villa Union, the authorities ordered the
 houses of the patients to be burned. This
 was done carelessly and twelve more
 houses caught fire and were entirely de-
 stroyed, whereupon the people. headed
 by the owners of other houses, came
 shouting Death to the sanitary agents"
 and began to throw stones at the agents,
 one of whom was seriously hurt. Just
 then the news spread that another sani-
 tary inspector was coming and the rioters went to meet him, intending to kill him. But he was informed of the disturbances and alighted from his carriage before reaching Villa Union and concealed him. self.
 Dr. Butron's man servant was found on the street and bratally beaten because
 he refused to say where the doctor was. A merchant, Luis Gonzales. who inter- vened in favor of the servant. was also beaten.
 Late at night the Prefect of Police reached the scene of the disturbances with a detachment of rurales and order was re-established. A detachment of sol- dders of the 11tn Infantry was also order ed out. The rioters numbered about 25C men. A detachment of soldiers and volun- Eteers have been sent to Recodo, Aguas l Calientas, Noria. Canao and other pu- | eblos

MET IN WASHINGTON
MITCHELL AND OPERATORS IN
 CONFERENCE.
Invited to Appear Before the Strike Commission in Order That Some Points May Be
 Settled.

Washington, March 6-Representatives of both sides of the coal strike question appeared before the anthracite coal strike commission today. The main question discussed was that of determining the best method of payment for coal mined and hinged upon the point as to whether settlement shall be made with the men according to weight or measure. The hearing today foreshadows an early re- port of the committee to President Roosevelt, as it involves practically the only issue which remains unsettled in the minds of the commission.
 There were two sessions today. The first session adjourned shortly after Il o'clock and the commission assembled an hour later. The proceedings were in the nature of general consultation regarding the matter of payment for coal mined, and all of those present expressed their views in response to questions pro- pounded by members of the commission MT. Mitchell of course, was among those who spoke at considerable length. As- sisted by his district heutenants he ex- pounded in detail the proposition which the mine workers union has taken in urging the payment of the basis of the weight of coal before being taken from the mines and the representatives of the corporate interests simply answered in- terrogatories designed by the commission to make clear certain points involved in the case about which some of the mem bers have been in doubt. The following statement regarding the meeting was given out by the commission late this afternoon:
 ''T'he anthracite coal strike commission met today for the purpose of consulta- ton with counsel and representatives of the miners and the coal operators, to enable the committee to avoid a misun- derstandtng as to matters under it's con- sideration, but not to submit to the parties any conclusions reached by the commission or any form of an award One of the diffioult subjects with which the commission has had to deal is that of paying for coal by weight rather than by car. Various methods have been sug- gested as substitute some of which were not touched upon at length, in the voluminous testimony before the commis- sion. It was necessary therefore for the commission to meet counsel on both sides and have a free and frank talk with them. Such a consultation could not have taken place had it been open to the public No additional testimony was asked for nor offered.
 ''The commission Is hard at work upon it's report, sitting late at night and mak- ing every endeavor to reach a speedy con- cusion. but just when a decision can be reached cannot be stated"

Proscribes Appendicitis. ,"

The new English Dictionary has form llly condemned the word appendicitis md has accomplished this end by omit ting it from its pages. MT. Murray's ex- planation sounds rather feeble. He as- serts that as words ending in 'itis' are not, in origin, English in form. they do not come within the scope of an English dictionary unless they happen to be in English use, like "bronchitis." MT. Mur- rays critics point out that the only diff ference between bronchitis" an "appen- iicitis' is one of priority. Bronchitis" 8 intrinsically as bad a word as "ap- pendicitis." Usage has made it accept tble. Usage has made "appendicitis' ac-
 eptable in this country, and is rapidly 'oing so in England. Sir Frederick Ire
 es, the eminent surgeon, has condemned
 ne word and has struggled manfully with the job of finding peri-phrasis. III to no purpose. for there is no actual substitute.

Conversation as an Art.

It Is astonishing, if one comes to think of it, how few really good conversational fists one meets. Many people can talk but utterly fail to bring out the eloquence of others.
 The really brilliant man or woman Is fhe one who draws out what is best In his hearers and brightens them by his own wit and ready sympathy. Never try to be witty; wit Is gift, not an art ac- uuired. But if you possess the gift be careful never to exercise it at the ex- pense of anothers feelings. Observe the expression of those around you and learn to guide your conversation into those paths which will not bring look of either disgust, boredom or anger into their faces.
 The best talker is generally the best listener, for only Tn proportion as one takes in from many sources can one hope to let out from ones own individual spring.
 Most people have some hobby If you are suddenly brought into contact with q stranger, try to discover what his par ticular hobby Is. and then direct your conversation into that channel.
 Above all do not talk while other peo- ple are talking Striving to make your self heard by yelling across people Is bad form and also most tiresome to every one present

TROUBLES IN CHINA.
Outbreak Worse Than the Boxer Up-
 rising is Feared.

Victoria, B. C., March 5.-According to a dispatch received from Pekin, an outbreak and carnival of murder exceeding the Boxer out break is regarded by many as imminent. Cor respondents of Chinese papers at Pekin are sending columns telling of the duplicity of the Empress Dowager and of the threatened out break. Shanghai paper says that while the Empress Dowager is issuing edicts command Ing reforms on western lines and pretending to initiate reform. she is secretly sending in- structions to Viceroys and Governors prohib- iting the Introduction of foreign methods.
 The Empress also Is said to be sending mo- tincations to some viceroys that Tung Flu Hsiang is to be aided in marching his army to Pekin to escort Pu Chun, son of Prince Chun. and formerly heir apparent to the throne. On their arrival Kwong Hsu, the pres ent Emperor, is to be made away with, says the Chinese correspondent. The representatives of the various foreign powers and all foreign CTS in the capital as well in the provinces are to meet the same fate without distinction.

EFFECT OF ELKINs LAW.
Western Railroad Men Meet to Dis
 cuss It.

Chicago. March 5.-Representatives of sixty seven railroads west Of Chicago were present at the meeting of the Western, Southwestern and Trans Continental roads for the purpose of exchanging views as to how the passenger traffic will be affected by the new Elkins law which prohibits the secretly cutting of rates, pooling and the giving of free transpor- tation to shippers Open reduction of rates is legalized by the law and the stronger roads fear that the filing of reduced tariffs by the weaker lines will become too frequent the smaller roads claiming they are unable to compete with the larger equal terms.
 Unable to reach an greement as to what ac- tion shall be taken to maintain rates, the meeting appointed a committee of five to draw up a report and present 1t at tomorrow 8 session. The committee will report among other things upon the propriety of issuing transportation to committees of arrangements for conventions and mass meetings and upon assuing transportation to representatives of land companies engaged in settlement work.

D1srRUsrFUL OF GERMANY.
Zeal of Teutons Causes rrejudice
 Abroad.

Berlin, March 5.-Dr. Scharlach, presid- ing at a meeting of the Colonial Society at Hamburg yesterday rebuked the pam Germans for stirring up suspicion abroad against German colonial projects. Their intentions, he said, were good, but the consequences of continually reminding the world of German ambitions were bad.
 For instance" he explained. 'the time was when the Brazilian Government was willing to assist any enterprise backed by Germans or German capital, but Ger man colonists have been so frequently exhosted to stand by their nationality and hold fast to German culture, language and habits with the ultimate object of forming a German state, that the Brazil ian Government is now distrustful and unwilling to give Germans even equal opportunities with other Eationalities. The idea of founding a German state in Bra gil is a phantasy."
