WOMEN TALK
TOlONGRESSMEN

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-The Ma
tional Womans Suffrage Association
was given a hearing by the House
Committee on Judiciary to-day. A del
egation numbering over half a hun
dred women. headed by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman-Catt. president Of the asso-
citation, arranged themselves around
the committee room and enthusiast
cally applauded the points made in
their behalf and of a sixteenth amend
ment TO the constitution by the va
rious speakers, whom Mrs. Gait pre-
sented
Members OF the committee asked the
several women speakers from Colorado
as 10 the reason of Shafroth's action
in resigning his seat in the House yes
terday because of fraud a the polls.
Miss Ellis Meredith, who made the
first answer TO the question, said the
fraudulent vote on this occasion was
confined to certain Denver precincts.
She eXOnerated the women voters from
participation. She said that 50 per cent
Of the voters of the State were men
and 45 per cent were women, while AZ
per cent Of the actual vote was the
vote Of the women.
Showing remarked Representative
Littlefeld that the women vote as
frequently as the men,"
Mrs. Mary c. Bradford, also of Colo
rado, said that in testifying TO the bene-
fits Of wOman's suffrage through TWEEN
ty-seVen States she had found that the
greatest bUgbeaT TO be met was the
seeming dread OF the polls. The gen.
eral impression was that the polls were
placed where all the women were COM
PEELED TO go and stand in line with
all the bad men, who occupied the time
in swearing. As a matter of fact the
men met a the polls were the hus-
women.
The delegation also was given a hear

RUINS TOPPLE
IN THE STORM

BALTIMORE, Feb. 16.-To-day
was one of the severest of the winter.
The temperature was as low as seven
degrees above zero, and all day long a
gale blew through the ruins in the
fire district at forty-mile gait, max
ing conditions dangerous for all with
in the lines. A number of tottering
walls were blown down and bricks, tin
roofs and debris were sent flying in
all directions. The workmen and
militiamen on guard suffered keenly
from the piercing blasts.
The extremely cold weather has
also had the effect of freezing uD the
whole devastated area, and most Of
the streets, which were only recently
cleaned of debris. are now covered to
a depth of two or three inches with

HONESTY PROVES COSTLY.
Worlds Fair officials At st, Louis
Grievod at Chinese Demonstra.
ton Of Virtue.

One OF the unpublished tragedies of
the st. Louis fair was the sudden and
picturesque manner in which some of
the most costly presents sent by tho
Chlnese government to worlds fair
omcials were purposely destroyed by
messengers intrusted with their de-
livery, says report to the Chicago
Tribune.
Soon after the arrival of the Chinese
commissioners they were entertained
at the magnificent home of President
Francis and the occasion was chosen
by the Monaghan guests as the most
nttlng for the presentation of the
prlncely presents they had brought. A
dozen high caste Cinnamon. attaches
OF the Picking delegation were an
pointed to carry the gifts. which were
TOO rare and fragile to be intrusted
to delivery wagon or to less tender
hands.
inc procession Of gift bearing
Cinnamon was halted at the gate by q
guard, who insisted on inforcing tho
rule that nothing except personal eff
fects can be carried out of the grounds
None OF the astonished foreigners
could understand what was said and
some. pushed their way past the
guard. He summoned help. and, in q
Few minutes, the excited Cinnamon
were surrounded by about so uni
formed officers. A messenger was dis
patched to the administration build
ing for the Chinese Interpreter en-
pioyed there, and when he arrived the
guards and police explained that they
nad stopped his countryman because
they seemed to be stealing a lot Of
valuable stuff.
The Interpreter meant to calm his
kinsmen by telling them they were
suspected of stealing, but he had no
sooner thrown this light upon the
situation than the gift bearers began
10 smash their burdens on the payc.
ment and against the foundations of tha
buildings. Ivory fans, costly marbles.
lnlaid ornaments, metal filigrees. carved
oronzes, and even brocaded silk gew
eaws were smashed, twisted, battered,
and torn in jiffy. The Americans
looked on in establishment, making no
attempt to stop the slaughter, but when
II was all over and the Interpreter had
satisfied the authorities that no theft
mad been contemplated he was asked
to explain the strange behavior of the
Cinnamon.
THAT way forget, see? Here make
mistake, too. In China you say a man
thief he break up stuff. That way show
he thief not, see?"
Hundreds of dollars worth of gifts
were destroyed by the carriers to show
that they had not stolen them.

COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value Of the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton as an advertising institution and
school of instruction Is fully appre-
ciated by the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands Of
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for the better varieties pro-
duced, which now find a market at
home or in England and Germany.
The countries claim as great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to give the public an
object lesson in the use of coffee.
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample better grade Of Rio.
Porto Rico also has an extensive
coffee exhibit, with the. hope Of pro-
noting larger trade with its new
mother country.

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ma
tives Of Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts.

Long regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to, place Of
prominence as great food product.
The United States and other great ma
lions having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
of the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking its place as staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
fine -four out of which bread is
made. and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into a wholesome cof-
fee.
The St. Louis Exposition is being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world. Now this
nutritious bread and coffee are served
daily to visitors in the Palace of
Agriculture, as one of the many OBJ
ject lessons in food at the Worlds
Fair.

EsoPUs AN INDIAN NAME.
Judge Parker's Secretary Says It Came
From Two Words Meaning
Backward River.

There has been a lot of guessing al
to the origin of the name of this viii
lage. Most of the guessers seemed to
think that Esopus was either Dutch
word or a form of the name of Esop,
the man who didn't write his fables in
slang, says the New York Sun.
Arthur McCausland. Judge Parker's
secretary, has been looking up things
about Kingston and its neighboring
towns, and his findings seem to estab-
lish the Indian origin of the name.
Kingston, which is nine miles north
Of here, was called Esopus long before
single settler came to the place.
Kingston's first name was Atkarkar.
ton, an Indian word meaning smooth
water. Records Of 1910 in the state
library show this. In 1853 the town
was called by the Dutch Esopus, Groote
Esopus, Sopus. seopus, sopers, sypurs
and Sypous.
Westbrook is authority for the state.
ment that this was Indian for 1.-THE
Pleasant Land" but he probably was
wrong. It is more reasonable to be.
lieve records in the state library which
say that the word Esopus. in all it's
various forms Of spelling, was derived
from two Indian words. ale. going
backward. and sepus. a river.
The Rondout river flows north into
the Hudson at Kingston and that prob
ably interested the Indians, who could
not quite understand why a river flow
ing north should empty into q river
flowing south.
This argument that the peculiar
junction Of the rivers was responsible
for the name Esopus is strengthened
by the use, in Eliot's Indian Bible, of
the word "asoeposue" for "backslid-
ing" the translation beieng needed in
Jeremiah, ILL.,, 6.
Kingston lost the name of Esopus in
1868 and took it's present name from
the family seat Of Gov. Lovelace's
mother. Kingston l'1sle, near Vantage,
the Berkshire town where Richard
Croker lives. The name Esopus was
then applied to a large and vaguely de.
scribed territory around Kingston, and
at last the village between West Park
and Ulster Park seized upon the name
for itself alone.

REPORTED OF RAILWAYS.

Railroads I'm Argentina are making
favorable progress, it is repocted, I'M
der the direction Of English capital
lists.
For several years Q record has been
kept of the wear of locomotive wheels
on the Danish state railways. The
single drivers are found to run better
than four-coupled. the latter better
than six-coupled, and in all cases wear
is increased by flimsiness Of road.
The Prussian state railroads during
their fiscal year ending with March
last earned $24,013,962 more than dur
ing the previous year, a seven per cent.
increase. This is nearly s30.000,G00
more than was estimated when the
year began, there having been mean
while a marked improvement in bust
ness in the country.
The German government railroad
exhibit at the st. Louis fair shows the
block system and switch signals now
in use in Germany. More than 1900
feet of track. in the construction of
which both iron and wooden ties were
used, have been laid. There are sta
tion house, two switch towers and one
intermediate block signal post.
Since 1880 the population of the
south has increased about 60 per cent.
while it's manufactured products have
increased by PSI per cent. Railroad
mileage has increased 191 per cent.
and the production of pig iron 731 per
cent. In the coal industry alone the
output has jumped since 1880 from
$4,000 annually to $62.0Q0.000..s The
development has been steady in all
lines.
The last railroad built in India has
American rails. Americans export
their iron and motors, their machinery.
and galvanic wires to South Africa.
Egypt too has more than one Phila-
delphia bridge. Three hundred rail-
road cars from Jersey City have found
their way into the land Of the Pha-
raohs, and in the foundries Of Pitts
burg electrical tramways were forged
to connect Cairo with the pyramids.
The Oroyo railroad. which now runs
from Callao to the gold fields OF Cerro
de Pasco, is considered one of the won
ders in the Peruvian world. Com
mencing in Callao. 1t ascends the mar
row valley of the Rimac, rising nearly
5000 feet in the first Sc miles. Thence,
it goes through the intricate gorges of
the Sierras till 1t tunnels the Andes at
an altitude Of 15.645 feet. the highest
point in the world where piston rod
is moved by steam. This elevation 10
reached in rs miles.

BUILDING FOOD
TO Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor q
large one) goes wrong, nothing is SO
important as the selection Of food
which will always bring it around
again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and.
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says 3
Colorado mother.
II decided change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, We got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
we'll.
"That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like tnat be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich. =,
All children can. be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands.

members of the civil police force wear
the khaki. It is these little men in
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result Of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band we're all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
in his own. line, and all of them had
seen service in the military bands OF
the Spanish regime. However, there
was a tremendous task for the band
master. The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only a small part
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning Of the
attack" on which the effect of q
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing. from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and 1t is in
this that their playing is so marvellous.
In the tender. sympathetic passages of
a selection tie tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which 1t
rises, without a crash and without q
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the enraptured
listener is engulfed IN mighty bill
low of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst of melody In
such climax as that which occurs in
the sextette Of Lucia, and no band ever
handled its climaxes better.
In the most powerful tone, there Ia
not the slightest suggestion of brassi-
ness 1t is all liquid music. This is
due almost wholly to the Instruments
ton, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large, num-
Der of saxaphones, the Instruments
ton includes four sarrusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari-
nets are not used merely for accom-
paniment, but actually carry the sec
ond voice.
The music produced is not simply
that of a brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings. human
voices and even the pipe organ.
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes 'rearranged
into an orchestra Of 20 men and also
into guitar glee club,
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, is a ma.
tive of st. Paul. and graduate Of the
New England conservatory of music
To his genius and devotion much OF
the success Of the Copstabulary band
is due.
Would that every American citizen
might listen to one Of his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor of the best band
in the United States, yes, and stay to
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressive part of the concert. No one
could listen u the playing of "The
Star Spangled Banner" by that bard
of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other Fillpinos, their hats over
their hearts and their heads bowed, and
doubt that they are loyalty American.

Features fn Food and Drink.

The Worlds Fair is full of new
things, new features and interesting
experiments in the way of food and
drink. Prominent among the new bey-
erages introduced at the Exposition
are banana coffee and prune coffee.
At one of the California county ex-
hibits in the Palace of Agriculture the
prune coffee is furnished by the
county, to teach the public the value of
this experiment as a pleasant beverage.
The banana coffee Is served in the
same building, but at different ex-
hibit, the purpose being to show the
wonderful food value of the banana.
