Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. Is
What the trained diplomats of Great
Britain and the United States failed to
accomplish namely, the negotiation OF
an arbitration treaty between the two
nations, may yet be brought about
through the efforts of group of earn

weeks ago at the residence of General
John w. Foster, former secretary of
state, and which was attended by Ad-
miral Dewey, General Nelson A. Miles.
Wayne MacVeagh, Thomas Nelson
Page and other men OF wide note. It
was decided to call national abrl-

of the subject and to formulate plans
to bring about the end sought.
Today this national conference began

interested in the movement. He point
ed out that the treaty signed in 1897 by
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote failed of ratification by the senate
by a close vote, but that certain ques-
tions, particularly the Clayton Bulwer
treaty and the Alaskan boundary DIS
pute now having been disposed of and
the creation OF a permanent tribunal
at The Hague having made renewed
effort timely and appropriate, the cause
of international arbitration had been
greatly strengthened, and that there

secure the adoption of treaty between
the United States and Great Britain by
which these two nations would agree to
refer to the tribunal at The Hague GER

The conference was opened at 10
o'clock this morning in the assembly
hall of the New Willard Hotel. The
initial session was given over to the
work of organization appointment of
necessary committees and opening ad-
dresses. This afternoon or tomorrow
morning the visitors will call upon
President Roosevelt, who, II is said,
heartily approves of the movement to
secure international arbitration.

ever since 1t was founded, and the lack
was a source Of considerable regret to
a number OF it's citizens. In good time
the omnipresent philanthopist arose
in their midst and said that he would
build church and present it to the
town. This man was the founder, John
H Williams. He had good deal
OF trouble in getting material for his
church. The first lot OF shingles was
80 bad that 1t could not be used, and
the builder decided to send to Europe
for fresh supply. He was a man Of
considerable wealth and had arranged
to spent at least $4,000 on the struc-
ture. He was destined not to see the
fulfllment Of his plans He died while
the decorators were at work on the
interior Of the building. His pet dog
an animal Of which he was extremely
fond, died at about the same time
Williams did not leave any directions
regarding the furtherance Of his plans,
nor state what disposition should be
made of the remains, SO the widow
took the reins In her own hands Work
ON the church was stopped and the
doors were closed.
This church." she said, shall never
be used as place Of worship. 1t shall
stand just as it is-a monument to
my dead husband"
And she caused the dog to be buried
with him, for his love for the animal
amounted to a passion. The dog had
been his constant companion in life,
and in death they were not to be d.
vided. There is no sexton or keeper In
charge of the church. and it has con-
seque1ltly neglected, forlorn appear
ance, although 1t has been standing
only since 1897. The interior was once
used as a receptacle for hay, and dust
hangs from the beams, and the steps
are overgrown with weeds.

with OK teams, the future soldier be-
ing chosen as the commander of the
expedition, which was formed In Oma-
ha. There were sixteen men and one
boy in the company, and they had six
OK teams. AS they were about to
cross the Platte river they fell In with
war party OF Pawnee Indians who
had Just been defeated by the Sioux.
They demanded tribute to permit the
white men to continue.
There were about 300 Of them. but
Drake decided to fight. Drake killed
the chief of the Indians with q blow
from his own dubbed gun, and the 9th
ers fled, leaving nine dead The In
dams had but one gun, apparently a
fowling piece, but most Of brakes par
ty We're wounded by arrows
Drake came back by sea, and at once
made another trip with a drove of cat
tie, which he disposed of to advantage.
He started back on the steamship
Yankee Blade for Panama. The vessel
was wrecked on the Mexican coast
while racing with the mail steamer
Sonora. Eight hundred Of her passen-
gers were drowned. Drake escaped,
with others, by Selling a rowboat from
piratical sailors, who came to plumber
the wreck.
The survivors lived for FIVE days on
the beach ON a portion of a steer, which
they ate raw, and were then taken off
by passing steamer.
At the outbreak of the civil war
Gen. Drake, who was then conducting
a country store at Unionville Ia, went
to the front as private and was mus
tered out as brigadier general in 1865,
after having been seriously wounded at
the battle of Marks Mills, Ark. One
Of his brothers, William Henry HarTt-
son Drake, an officer OF the Second
Iowa Regiment, was killed at Fort
DonelsOn.
Gen. Drake then turned his attention
to railroad building In his adopted
State, and soon built more than 400
miles, the roads now forming parts of
great railroad systems. He founded
Drake University in 1880, and with
Russell Sage, whose close friend he
was, helped rebuild Iowa College at
Grlnnell when 1t was destroyed by a
cyclone in the following year. In many
other philanthropic and charitable en-
terpr1ses he took leading part. From
1896 to 1893 he was Governor of Iowa,
having been elected ON the Republican
ticket. The estate he leaves Is valued
at 100000. He leaves four daugh-
tiers and two sons.

What a Clever Woman Can Do.

What woman can do" Is thus
summed up by an observing English
man: "a woman can hold her tongue.
She can be sure of her facts before
saying, I'm just as positive as l can
be- She can say, 1t is very warm
to-day instead of oh, 1t was so fright
fully hot, nearly died. She can ad-
mire another woman's stylish hat with
out signing, I wish 1t were mine She
can conquer her husband by Gliding
him when he Ia in q lanblike humor
She can use the metric system IN cook
ing instead of 'teaspoonfuls.' She can
make up menu with regard to pro
teids' instead Of irrationally giving
John the indigestible things he likes
She can shut her lips tight when she's
Just as mad as she can be- She can
surprise her husband by presenting
him with couple Of sovereigns saved
from housekeeping, without immedi-
ately asking for a new three guinea
coat. She can love and not be jealous.
She can reason. Yes, indeed, she can.
She can separate business and feeling.
She can regard things and people from
dispasslonate, impersonal standpoint

her mind without neglecting her per-
sonal appearance. She can Loyalty re-

Amusing Sick Children.

Those who have had the care Of a
sick child through long, weary weeks
OF a slow recovery will understand
why most mothers are glad of sugges-
tons which may help to pass the hours
pleasantly and proftQbly and yet not
tax the little invalid beyond his
strength.
In many of the current magazines
are well-printed reproductions Of works
of art. These may be utilized by an
older child in making pretty ornaments
for the walls Of the nursery. A long
strip of heavy paper with all sorts and
kinds OF animals Is not only interest
ing, but instructive; or a yard Of cats
or dogs alone will make a surprising
display. A margin around each pic
ture adds much to the effectiveness.
Cartridgepaper may be bought by the
yard, and Is especially pretty In red or
green to use for a background
Whatever Ia given a child for amuSe-
ment should require as little mental
strain as possible and the materials
should be of light weight If the child
becomes tired Of one occupation, try
something different, and under no con-
dit1on let him realize that you are try
ing to amuse him for the purpose OF
keeping him quiet; for If he finds out
that the Joy is not yours as well as
his, much Of his pleasure will be lost.

WHY 30 MnnY Fail.

Many people never get to the front
in the poultry business because they
struggle and work from year to yea1
only to be beaten again at the shows
and by practically some beginner, but
finally after losing five or ten years
time they find that their mistake was
in always buying something cheap in
stead Of paying a little more and get
ting good foundation stock. The
quicker a man buys good birds to breed
from the sooner he Is started right In
the fancy and the sooner he will get a
share OF the business.-T. B. King, In
