ADDRESS BY BOOKER

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 30.-Though
the convention of the National Edu-
cational association is nearing a
close, after several exceedingly busy
days, there is no evidence of di-
intuition of interest on the part of
the thousands of teachers present.
Despite the attractions of the exposi-
ton all of the sectional conferences

tinue to be we'll attended. This was
the banner day of the convention in
regard to the general sessions. Fes-
tival hall was packed to overlooking
at . o'clock this morning when the
proceedings were resumed. The chief
speaker of the morning was Booker
T. Washington, who discussed at
length the great problem Of the edu-
cation of the southern negro. Fol
lowing his address there were papers
and discussions relative to education
in Porto Rico and the Philippines.

greatly in advance of the demand.
Bright young fellows with college edu-

hit upon a plan to care for the worthy
ones. He employed those who were not
afraid of work to do section jobs. They
were sent out along the line, working
with laborers of that class for $l.56
per day. They laid rails and shoveled
track bed. The result was that the
section superintendent all along the
line began to demand these fellows
and many got start this way. A
number have advanced to good posi-

Pretty little Edna Aug, the Cincin

the innocent cause of a merry war of
words between her managers and the
management of the Palace hotel few
days ago.
The latter prides itself on the strin-
gency of the rules governing the con-
duct Of its guests. "Unchaperoned la
dies must not receive gentlemen in
their rooms" says the Palace code.
But Edna was i'll and unable to attend

INCREASE in
POSTAL RECEIPTS

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Of
fetal figures regarding the business
of the postoffice department for the
fiscal year ending today are awaited
with considerable interest owing to
the prevailing belief that they will
show an unprecedented increase. The
receipts for the year are approXi-
mately estimated at $144,100,000,
which is almost double the receipts of
a decade ago. No less amazing are
the figures in regard to the rural free
delivery service. Today there are
over $4,000 rural routes in operation,
as against 200 five years ago. These
$4,000 routes furnish a daily mail
service to more than 100000 people
residing in rural districts.

ASKS HARVARD
TO WEDDING

BOSTON, Mass, June 30.-Scores
Of Harvard students and alumni will
hurry back from New London, where
they are attending the boat races
today, to be present at Cambridge
this evening at a wedding which
promises to be unique in the history
of the famous university town.
Because he has more personal
friends among the award students
than the dean himself. and because it
would cost him several hundred dol
lars to send out engraved invitations
to all of them, William Roland Walk
err, better known as Butler" has, for
the first time in Harvard's history,
inserted in the columns of the Har-
ward Daily Crimson a wedding notice
requesting the presence of "all men,
bers of the university" at his mar
riage to Miss May Theresa Deland
of Boston. The wedding is to take
place at st. Paurs rectory, Cam
bridge, this evening.
Butler" is the famous 'hot-dog"
dispenser and fancy-drink compound
err in the little lunch room of the
Harvard union-the university club.
Without doubt he is the most popu-
lar character Harvard has ever had,
and his wedding promises to be large
ly attended.
Invitations have been sent to all
the famous old graduates now living,
including President Roosevelt. For
several days gifts have been flowing
in, and II looks as If the genial lunch
tender would be fairly swamped with
them. They come from all quarters
of the globe, from Europe. the Phil
ippines and Japan. One present Is a

honor, when my own child, the little
girl whom / have watched grow up,
day by day, with all a fathers pride
and love, turned against me and tes-
titled on the witness stand to lies and
calumny; when she stated she wished
to see me live and die in prison. Oh,
God! your honor, it was the greatest

future hopes. ambitions and plans.

Tears coursed down the old mans
cheeks as he concluded and, regard
less of the ethics of his conviction,
his auditors were visibly affected.

THE SPANKING JUDGE.

DETROIT. Mich, June 30.-Judge
Henry Mandel of the Wayne circuit
court, who recently handed down a
decision in a divorce case in which
he declared the man the head of the
house, few days later again became
the champion of down-trodden hus-
bands when he advised a mechanic
to go home and spank his wife.
The applicant, Augustus r. Sobke,
filed bill for divorce, charging his
wife, Amelia Sobke, whom he married
in Germany 26 years ago, with drunk
enness and extreme cruelty. She re-
