ALABAMA REGENTS, D. A. R.
 MAKE OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

Mrs J. Morgan Smith, Alabama regent, D. A. Rs, makes the following official explanation in regard to the representa- ton of chapters at the forthcoming con- tinental congress:
 Some of our women do not seem to un- derstand this subject and in this article we have tried to be as clear, correct and concise as possible, and we trust Alabama D. A. R. will read it carefully and under standingly.
 The law requires that the election of delegates and alternates to a continental congress shall be held before February of the year. and therefore delegates anG alternates eligible to seats in the coming congress should have been elected before February 1.
 Again, Article 5, Section 3, says: "only mepbers who have paid their dues for the official year then current, shall be en- titled to representation in the congress" consequently only those members who paid dues for 1903 were entitled to vote for delegates, etc, to the congress of April, 1904. The dues for 1904 (which should be paid on or before March 22) will not affect representation at the com ing congress but those members who have not paid 1904 dues when February 1, 1905, comes Cat which time delegates and alter mates are elected to the congress of 1905) will not be allowed to vote The advance dues for 1904 will not affect the next con gress. If a woman paid her dues for 1903 she was entitled to vote for delegates to the congress of 1904; if she pays her dues for 1901 she will be allowed to vote for delegates to the congress of April, 1905, which election must take place before February 1 of that year. The various chapters have their own time for collect ing dues; some collect in June for the current year; some collect in October for the advance dues; some even walt till January before collecting current dues, but they are at liberty to choose the dates that suits them best so long as they get their current dues in the hands of the treasurer general by February 1 of each year. It would be great deal better and avoid no end of confusion and trouble if the fiscal year of the chapters was the same as the fiscal year of the national society. A great deal of unnecessary trouble and work will be avoided if mem- bers would pay their dues promptly and In advance. It is now in order for mem- bers to pay their dues for 1904. Be prompt to do this by March 22 and when Feb

Gold Lace Trimmings and oIlttering
 Military Escorts.

From the Salt Lake Herald
 The new secretary of war, Judge Taft was escorted from the railroad station to the war department by troop of cavalry The retiring secretary of war, MT. Root was escorted from his residence 10 the railroad station by another, or perhaps the same troop of cavalry. It has never been the custom prior tc the Roosevelt regime for even the President of the United States to be escorted to and from the railroad station in Washington by mounted or other soldiers.
 A dispatch said the escort given to ex-Secretary Root was by direction of the President The escort given Judge Taft was by direction of Mir. Root No, the country is not becoming imperialistic in its tendencies It's high officials are merely beginning to have a proper re- spect for their exalted stations. Why not ? If 1t gives secretaries and retiring secretaries of war pleasure to be escorted by troops and cavalry should the pro- letariat object?
 But, 1t is pointed out, when Judge Taft was escorted by the cavalry he was only a plain citizen. He had not then been sworn in as secretary of war. When MT. Root was similarly escorted he was also a plain private citizen, having relinquish- ed his office to the care of another. Now if incoming secretaries and outgoing sec retaries are entitled to cavalry escorts, what are bona fide working officials en- titled to?
 If the secretary of war has one troop, how many should the President have? We should say at least a regiments. Then the vice president should have a squadron. the secretary of state three troops, the secreary of the treasury two troops. Both the secretary of state and the secretary of the treasury rank high CT in the line of Presidential succession than the secretary of war.
 And, beofre long, we may have the spectacle of senators and representatives in congress with special escorts of United States troops. No, we are not drifting toward imperialism. We, just like gilt ,trappings and show and fiunkeyism and fiummery.

The officials are gorgeous in their uniforms, but the file-a ka- leidoscopic mob so far as appearance was concerned! The pay of the Korean soldier is 8 cents day.

 When In Idia I made the acquaint- ance of a juggler who tried to instruct me in all his tricks. He said that it was imaginary on the part of the spectators, as he simply willed that they should see those things. Yet I, in common. with western nations, was too animalized, sen sual, and materialized, by fesh-eatng and consumption of alcohol to retain or accept any deep spiritual teaching.

A6vIces from St. Petersburg say the statement that Secretary Hay issued note to the powers asking them to join in insisting upon the recognition or the integrity of China and Korea during and after hostilities created much comment in diplomatic circles here, where any action taken with the view of localizing the theater of war is>wel- comed. There seemed to be great doubt. however, of the propriety of ad- herring to the latter clauses of MT. Hays note pending more definite ad- vices.
 At the foreign office, where there is some disposition to distrust the pur- poses of the United States authorita- tive expression is not obtainable yet
 Foreign Minister Lansdorff, talking to the diplomats at his reception, spoke feelingly of Japan's action and de- clared the czar had done all in his power to avoid a conflict but that the events of the past few days had proved Japan to be bent upon war and that no concessions Russia could have offered would have restrained her.
