Some soasonabIe Advice.

1t may be a piece of superfiuous advice
to urge people at this season of the year
to lay in a supply of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results
are obtained when taken as soon as a
cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system, which can
only be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely known
and 30 altogether good that no ono
should hesitate about buying it in pref
erence to any other. For sale by G. r.

Perfection in Railway Trave

n
The new equipment which has recent
ly been added to the suell trains of the

ceived unqualified praise from the trav-
cling public.

RESULT OF STRIKES.
Shipyards in Greater New York Are
Tied Up,

New York, May 5.-All the large
shipyards in the metropolitan dis
trict, except that of the Boston Dry
Dock Co., in Brooklyn, and the yard
of Titjen & Lang, in HobOken, are
tied up as the result of a strike of the
Brotherhood of Boilermakers and
Iron Shipbuilders of the United States
and Canada. Five thousand boiler
makers are involved and workmen of
other trades may be affected John
Mcneil, of Kansas City, international
president of the boilermakers, author
lied the strike. The organization is
said to have $3.50, 900 in it's relief fund
and the II local lodges are also well
supplied with money. Beginning yes
terday married men will be paid 81 a
week and single men S. week, out
of the strike fund.
The yards and shops affected are
those whose owners are members of
the New York Metal Trades associa-
ton, which body on Tuesday refused
to grant the bOilermakers' demand
for the closed shop and the admission
of walking delegates to all shops and
jobs.
Pittsburg, May 5.-A strike which
is expected to extend to an interna-
tional movement against the Ameri-
can Bridge CO. was ordered Wednes-
day by the local union of structural
iron workers and bridgemen, and over
coo men in this district will go out to-
day.
The strike is called because the
union claims 35 non-union men were
put to work last Tuesday erecting a
bridge for the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg rC>d at Coral, Pa. This ac-
ton, it is Gained, is a violation of the
agreement to employ none but union
men.

ST. LOUIS EXPEDITION.
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio
BUILDINGS Dedicated.

St Louis, May 3.--When the first
regular day of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition had drawn to a close a
flood of light from thousands of cleo
trio bulbs that line the tops of the
main buildings, Illuminated the
grounds so that day almost continued.
Throngs of visitors began pouring
into the grounds early in the evening
in anticipation of the illumination
feature. Music of bands and falling
waters lent attraction to evening Wis
itors. The plaza became the central
point of interest, as the main exhibi-
tion buildings close at dark.
Michigans building was dedicated
Monday. 1t stands on the brow of the
plateau of states, adjoining the Uni
ted States fisheries building.
The dedication of Pennsylvania s
building came next. The building is
located near the southern boundary of
the plateau of states and it's broad
terraces command full view of the
entire section devoted to states.
Ohios building completed the days
dedication ceremonies. The struc-
ture is located on the eastern bound
airy of the plateau of states. Broad
pldIZdS ana SJdIely Columns give 10
the building an inviting appearance
of ease and comfort, and the NAM
moth surmounting dome marks it
with dignity. Gov. Herrick presided
at the ceremonies and introduced w.
F. Burdell, of Columbus, who made
the opening address. Response was
made by President Francis, who Of
fcially rendered the worlds fair wei
come to Ohio. The speech of the oc-
casion followed by Secretary of War
Taft.
st. Louis, May 4.-The official an
nouncement of the attendance at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition on
April 80, the opening day, was made
yesterday by President Francis. The
total attendance was 1877, 1893. The re
corded admissions amounted to 49,
423. The difference between the to-
tai attendance and the recorded ad-
missions is the number of invited
guests, employees, exhibitors, conces-
sionaries and officials, some of whom
were in the grounds all night and
others of whom were admitted with
out having passes.

The Memory.

Mr.. Owen Wister, in his preface to a
new edition of The Virginian, pays
his respects to the American memory,
which seldom retains anything over
night" BY contrast and as an example
of how the faculty of memory may be
developed by training, the new transla-
tion of play of Aristophanes, by b. b.
Rogers, an English scholar, is instruc-
tive. The greater part of this transla-
tion was composed from memory
when the translator had no copy of Aris-
tophanes at hand" Person, the great
Greek scholar of our grandfathers' days,
might have done as much. He knew
most of the Greek authors by heart as
well as the works of Smollett. Glad
stone in his later years told an inter-
viewer that if the first line of any page
of Homer were given him he could re-
peat the entire page in the original.
Macaulay memorized The Lady of the
Lake" by reading it twice. But the COM
plant is with the abuse ordinarily done
this fine faculty by neglect 1t is made
to hold athousand temporary trivialities.
1t fastens on the gossip of the moment
for the moment only and grasps trifles
for which an overnight forgetfulness
is a benefcent provision of nature 1t
is perverted by inattention and mac
curacy.

Did it ever strike you how insulting 1t
is to hang up your telephone receiver
before the person who is talking to you
has finished what he has to say? When
a fellow calls you up, and he generally
has something to say. ordinary courtesy
should prompt you to listen until he is
through as you would if he was address,
ing you in person, says the Anoka Her
aid. Then there is another aggTavat-
ing way some people have and that is
TO rush to the phone and call some one
up and fail to give their name. When a
person is talking through the phone he
rather likes to know to whom he is talk
ing. Of course, these little items are
but minor details, but they are few OF
the details which stamp person either
as gentlemanly or ungentlemanly, lady
like or the reverse.

Around the ratings oil the galleries,
with flags and bunting for back
ground, the same scheme of decora-
tfon had been carried out.
At the afternoon session Rev.
James b. Hingley, of the Minnesota
conference, was elected conference
secretary.
Last night the reception of the gen
eral conference by the citizens and
churchmen of Los Angeles was held
at the pavilion. Addresses of well
come by representatives of the state,
city and church in southern Califor-
mia, and responses by prominent lead
ers in MethOdiSm made up the pro
gram.
Los Angeles, Cal, May 6.-The
Methodist general conference held
two sessions Thursday, the morning
session being devoted to the reading
of the Quadrenniai address of the
board of bishops of the NJ. F.. church
to the general conference, and the af-
ternoon to the receipt and reference
of memorials from the various annual
conferences. The morning session
was presided over by Bishop Warren
and the afternoon session by Bishop
Walden.
The reading of the ouadrennial ad-
dress of the bishops of the church to
the general conference was the fea-
ture of the days session. Bishop
Cyrus ID. Foss, of Philadelphia, read
the address. II claborately reviewed
the statistical records of the past four
years and set before the conference
many of the current problems which
the church is facing. The present
membership of the church was re
ported at 3,031 ,91S, an increase of
13S,025 during the four years. The
Sunday schools include an aggregate
of 1924 ,G44.
Los Angeles, May Very little
progress was made by the Methodist
general conference Friday, but the
business is being so 5ystematized that
with a few more sessions to clear
away the vast quantity of preliminary
matter the work will proceed rapidly
The resignation of Senor Bishop Ste
phen II. Merrill, of Chicago, was pre-
santed to the conference and referred
to the committee on episcopacy, with
instructions to report to the general
conference resolutions commendatory
of the great service Bishop Merrill
has rendered to the church in his %
years as minister and bishop.

BRYAN PROTESTS IN VAIN.
Nebraska Man Will Have No Hand
in the Making of the Dem
ocratic Platform.

1t is manifestly impossible to write a
democratic platform which meets with
general party approval. The declara-
tion of principles put forth by the New
York democratic state convention is
condemned by Bourke Cochran, talking
in behalf of Tammaay, as "a platform
of platitudes." 1t is not quite satsfac-
tory to some of the warm supporters of
Judge Parker, because it does not in
dorse the gold standard and does not
deal with the Philippine question as the
anti-imperialists wish to have it dealt
with. These criticisms are mild when
compared with those of Mr.. Bryan, That
gentleman, who claims to be the only au-
thorized exponent of democratic prin-
ciples, says that the platform is am
biSuOus, uncertain, evaSiVe and dishon-
est" He says that it is the work of
"cowardly democrats" whose only aim
is to deceive and to induce organized
wealth" to subscribe to the campaign
fund.
Nevertheless. it is quite likely that the
platform which will be adopted at st.
Louis in July viii! resemble closely the
one Mr. Bryan disapproves of. In the
last two presidential campaigns the
| democrats experimental with unambig-
uous unequivocal platforms and were
badly beaten. 1t would not be surpris-
ing, says the Chicago Tribune, if they
were to change their policy and adopt
a milk-and- water platform, which will
ALLEVIATE the smallest number of voters
and thus make success possible.
Mr. Bryan says: 81 do not wish that
the party shall win Offices only" But
the desire to get the offices is the con-
| trolling motive with large percentage
! of the democrats. They have been out
in the cold for eight years, and their hum
ger after postmasterships and other
comforting jobs. Those democrat feel
that their only hope of getting the offices
is to get away from Bryan and Organism.
| They will not let him write the party
platform or dictate its candidate. The
voice they will harken to at St Louis
will be that of expedienCy, not Bryan.

MOUNTAIN is NOW a LAKE.

Supposed Earthquake In New En-.
gland Thought to Have Been Fall
of Volcanic Cone.
A muddy lake marks the spot in
Maine where a big hill known as
Bald mountain had stood ont in bold
relief for centuries and is taken as
proof that the recent New England
earthquake had its origin in north
ern Maine. A guide reports the
transformation complete. BALD
mountain was situated in Tibiqua
valley, few miles from the New
Brunswick line. Natives who live,
near say they always thought the
hill queer, because at the base were
boiling springs so warm that one
could not put his hand in them even
in winter Near by is a hill called
Plaster rock, which furnishes plas.
ter. This was recently analyzed and
found to consist of merely melted
rock and earth, and all this leads to
the belief now that Bald mountain
was the cone of volcano.

thirty first general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church opened at
Hazards Pavilion in this city We'd

Professionalism in America. Seated in
the auditorium proper We're 79S rep
resentatives of Methodism gathered
from the four quarters of the earth.
The great building was a bower of
beauty, fragrant with the bloom of
California flowers. Fifteen thousand
Gala lilies formed a hedge extending
entirely across the front of the broad
stage and beneath these a BEAUTIFUL
frieze work of smilax and ferns reach
