TAFT CORREcTs SOME MISTAKES
The CoIored Messenger Was Afraid
He Told Too Much,
Washington Post.

Secretary Taft came to the capitol
one day on some very important bust
ness. He went to one of the commit
tee rooms where he was expected, and
was soon in close conversation with
the chairman, who gave strict instruc-
tons to the colored messenger that
nothing was to be said of Taft's pres
ence. But a newspaper man learned
the secretary was in the committee
roomed and boldly asked the messenger
what he was doing there.
He amt in dar," declared the man.
But I saw him going in," asserted

The wide flung door of the Worlds
Fair will no doubt prove an open ses-
an women? Not every day does such
IN opportunity occur and the wise
mes have taken advantage of it and
sill demonstrate their capabilities.
Women sculptors have been eminently
successful none perhaps more so than
Miss Melva Beatrice Wilson of New
York, to whom was awarded a most
important commssion-the decoration
Of the palace of machinery.
Miss Wilson studied under Macmon-
MES in Paris and when she exhibited
| in that city was overwhelmed with
econiums from art critics. Her works
are on view in both public and private
art galleries in America and she is
among the most sought of feminine
sculptors. With the smart set Miss
Wilson is a gerat favorite, as she de-
picts equestrienne and athletic sports,
modern military life, cowboy types,
wild animals and almost everything
pertaining to out of door sports.

narifesting a talent for music she I'M
derwent a thorough course Of instruc-
ton. For the past four years she has
oeen the soloist of the ST. Louis Choral
society and of the First Presbyterian
church. Last spring she made a tour
with the Boston Festival orchestra, and
last fall she was heard at the Maine

AS a lecturer Madame Lydia Won
Finklestein Mountford is renowned.
Her lectures ara on Sacrad SIlhiactS
and she is eminently adapted to dis
course about life in the far east as she
has lived there many years. Madame
IS engaged by the Jerusalem company
and will form one of the strong Worlds
Fair attractions as she will deliver adj
dresses in the streets attired in Orien-
tai costume. Her topics will be re-
plete with interest. The customs that
prevailed in the time of Christ, the
buildings, the people in the streets, the
various religious places of worship, the
places sacred to the life of Jesus
Christ will all furnish intensely inte-
resting subjects. Madame Mountford
spent much time in the Holy Land
purchasing costumes and getting to-
gether people who faithfully represent
the typical life of the far east. Mad
anne is persuasive talker and her
presence will no doubt prove a drawing
! card to Jerusalem.

Railroad Extension to Cease.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. April S.-The large
western railroads have now under
construction about 134S miles of new
track. Practically all of this mileage
will be completed within the next
three months, and then most of the
roads will cease new construction.
Very few new lines are being surveyed.
The projects which will shortly be
completed may be roughly listed as
follows:' Frisco, 305 miles; Missouri
Pacific, $50 miles: Southern Pacific,
260 miles; Rock Island, 10 miles; Wa
bash, 273 miles. AS far as known,
none of these companies has any plans
for extensive railroad building during
1905.

The defeat of Barney Mullin by Jack
REILLY before the Lewiston club Mon

the question of who is the better OF
