The great territory intervening between

The Necktie il the Man.

Henceforward you must not judge
man by his hat or his coat or the way
in which he carries his handkerchief,
but by his necktie. This is the dictum
of ladies' paper. 1t works rather
curiously. A well-tied tie, it seems,
argues an absence Of intellect. MI.
Gladstone's ties might have been cited
in support Of this proposition or of its
converse. They were always abomin-
ably, tied and never stayed in their
proper place. But this new authority
goes outside the sphere Of geniuses.
''The average man with an ordinary
share Of intellect" she says. seldom
knows how to tie tie as it can be
tied, and is tied, by men with no in
tellect at all. I defy man Of real
brains to keep his tie at the exact angle
for any considerable time. Directly
you see a really beautifully tied tie
| which never moves out of place you
| may be fairly certain you are not face
| to face with an undiscovered Shake
speare Or an embryonic Goethe.-Chi

creeds and Doctrines.

Creeds and doctrines are the attempts to
explain existing facts. Creeds do not pro-
duce the life The creeds and opinions
may change, but the realities remain and
are interchangeable. They are. the phenomena
to be explained. The creeds and doctrines
are the varying explanations. The events
and active forces are the evidences of the
life force. It is an intelligent personal
agency. He lives. He is the life of His
cause. By Him any man may come into a
new life. Through Him millions have

We have the sampler that she worked
In silk SO beautifully fine;
Though she was just little girl
The stitches aren't bit like mine.
Do you suppose she loved to sew
My great-great-grandma long ago?
I love to look at her to-day,
In prim stiff cur]s, and dress so queer;
She smiles in such lovely way
I'm sure she must have been dear.
Oh, how I should have liked to know

shall not elect a majority Of the directors
OF the new company until per cent shall
have been paid upon the common stock.
Only 30 per cent Of the present preferred
and % per cent OF the existing common

Action taken by the ST. Paul in placing in
service a new fast mail train between the
Twin Cities and Chicago bids fair to result
in a speed war not only between the cities
mentioned. but between Chicago and Omaha
The new train connects with the new mail
train on the Great Northern from the
north Pacific coast, and points along the
coast are brought nearly six hours nearer
Chicago. The new ST. Paul train will leave
St. Paul at 1880 p m. and will arrive in
Chicago at 7 a. m, which is one hour and
twenty-five minutes faster than the mini
mum time agreement between the cities.
When the dispute over the time agree
ment arose a year ago, owing to the North
western reducing the time OF the Overland
limited between Chicago and Omaha, the
st. Paul officials gave notice that they
would no longer be bound by the agreement
between Chicago and St. Paul, but would
feel free to beat it at any time upon notice.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. March 9.-In the circuit
court today Judge Wood made permanent
the temporary injunction granted last Oc-
tober against Bennett wasserman ct al.
ticket scalpers. restraining them from buy
ing or selling worlds fair excursion tick
cts. The temporary Injunction was granted
at the instance of all the railroads entering
st. Louis and was argued recently. one
case, that Of the Wabash. was decided to-
day
II was agreed by counsel that the decision
IN this case should be binding in the others.
While the suits we're brought in the
names of the railroads. the worlds fair
took an active part in the prosecution. as
the railroads had insisted that without pro-
lection against scalpers they coul6 not af-
ford to make low rates.
The scalpers did not deny that they were
dealing in the non-transferable tickets. but
claimed that the railroads we're in an un
lawful pooling agreement and had no right
to limit the sale OF tickets Both of these
contentious we're decided in favor Of the
railroads, the court holding that the West
ern Passenger association was a lawful as
sociation in nowise conflicting with any
state Of federal statute, and that in consid-
eratlon OF a reduced rate the railroads had
the power to make tickets non-transfer-
rable.

WASHINGTON, March s.-The State de-
partment has not been fully advised Of
the concessions obtained from the Turkish
government by Minister Fleishmann as re-
ported from Constantinople. The Turkish
government has up to this time declined
10 recognize the American medical
diplomas or even those issued to grad
yates from American institutions IN Tur-
key, a fact which naturally greatly dimin-
lshed their usefulness
more important concession from a
humanitarian point is that respecting the
wives and children OF naturaliZed Amer
leans. The Turkish government has here
tofore held that the wife Of a Turkish
citizen who is naturalized In America does
not by that act become herself an Amer
lean.
International law admits the right OF the
woman to share the conditions OF her hus-
band, and, while our government has not
set up the claim that under our own laws
the wife becomes naturalized by the hus-
bands act, yet II has contended that under
the principle OF international law above
referred to the Turkish government was
not justified in OBTAINING these women In
Turkey.
AS for the children, even under our own
laws they could not be claimed as Amer
lean citizens unless they were actually
resident in America when their father was
the Turkish government on these points
is considerable.
The undertaking to recognize the Amer
ican educational charitable and religious

their security, for there will hereafter be

ernment II they are threatened in times
