he believes.
Extensive commercial relations, the
great investment Of capital by foreign
ers and the good treatment given aliens
in different countries, are his reasons
for predicting wide world govern
ment The rapid spread of civilization
and of law and order thruout the
greater nations and the successful re-
suits gained in educating the more
savage peoples foreshadow the utop-
ian nation, he says.
"There are significant things in the
world today and also in the past f1ty
years which leads me to the opinion
that at some day, and / believe at a
not far distant date, we will see every
country on earth working in unison
with one central government ana one
head" he declared.
"a great world wide nation Will re-
suit from political and sociai cohai-
tions now working. During the past
fifty years there has been tendency
more and more for stronger CONNER
cial relations between the greater
nowers people in visiting certain
countries are entertained more royalty
than even a decade ago. Aliens are
treated with much more consideration.
pssidas this the capitalists are eagerly
scanning foreign fields to wark In.
They all point to a movement IN civil
iZation."

WOMEN FAVOR THE cANTEEN.
Army and Navy League to Ask For
Repeal of the Law.

Washington, D. c., Dec 2-Thru the
efforts of the Woman's Army and Navy
League the sentiment in favor of the
army canteen, which was abolished by
act of congress February 2, 1901, is
about to crystalline into practical en-
deavor to secure the reestablishment OF
this adjunct to the army post.
The canteen was abolished against
the earnest advice OF all the prominent
officers of the army thru efforts of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union
who objected to the post exchange, be-
cause in it beer was sold to the sold
iers.
Is is thought to he fitting that the
first organized effort to restore the
canteen should originate with a body OF
women whose sole object is the well
fare Of the soldiers and sailors.
At the last meeting here of the
league resolution was adopted de-
claring that, as the canteen was abol-
ished under a misconception of facts
and that three years test has proven
the law failure, it should be restored
to the place 1t held prior to February
8, 1901.
Mrs. Kelton, the author of the reso-
luton, was directed to cooperate with
Mrs. Sternburg, wife of the former
surgeon general Of the army, for the
purpose of securing the signatures OF
800 members of the league residing
thruout the entire country to petition
in harmony with the resolution and
present the same to Secretary of Wa1
Taft, by December Is.
The women OF the league will not
stop here. It's officers today announc-
ed their intention to circulate the
petition among prominent men and
women all over the country outside the
league.
This petition will also be handed tc
Secretary Taft with the request that
he transmit the sarle to congress at
the coming session.

WOMAN BUS DRIVER.
Unique Character Meets Travellers at
Baldwin Iowa.

Eldora, Dec. "A woman bus driver
Is a familiar figure to travellers who
visit the town of Baldwin. She ap-
pears at every train, wearing mans
hat or cap stout coN'hide boots, and a
dress of cheap material falling scarce
ly to her ankles, and belted at thu
waist with piece Of rope or leather.
Maria is the Christian name of this
woman driver. She weighs over 200
pounds and has the strength of any
many.
Her mother was a woman of large
frame and her father was very small.
In time the mother took on flesh until
she weighed about 500 pounds and p.
T. Barnum hearing of the couple, en-
gagged them, and the big woman and the
little man were exhibited and attract
ed much attention.
For a time Maria fed and took care
of the horses in the Baldwin liye,y
stable, but later was promoted to drive
the omnibus to and from the station
to the hotels.

Caesars Statue As ltaIy's Gift.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Italy may pre-
sent this country with a statue of
julius Caesar to stand beside that of
Frederick the Great at the army war
college. The Italian government was
deeply impressed with the ceremony
with which the kaiser's gift was dedl-
Gated and thinks a. closer friendship
between Washington and Rome might
result frop a similar present. Italy
takes q particular interest in Caesar,
who was one Of the generals named by
the president as worthy of a place on
the war college grounds.
It is believed that 1t will take many
years to work out the statuary scheme
as outlined by Mr.. Roosevelt. France
might be looked to for a statue of Ma
poleon, but for the fact that the French
government has been very liberal In It's
gifts to this country. Its last gift, a
bust of Washington, has not yet form
ally been accepted. 1t is not thought
congress would appropriate any money
for statue other than that OF WASH
ington.

NIGHT AND DAY BANK
New York Men, Prominent commer-
cialIy and Socially, Organize Institu-
ton With Large Emergency Fund
For Benefit of Wealthy Travellers
Who Often Find Themselves in EN-
barrassing Plights.

New York, Dec. 2.--Impressed by
the need of an institution where money
may be obtained at any hour, promi-
nent New York financiers and CONNER
cial men have organized the first night
and day bank and safety deposit COM
pany. The names of men prominent
in the business and social world ap-
pear in the organization committee, and
the capital stock of $250,000 has al
ready been subscribed.
The plights in which many travel
ers Of wealth find themselves, because
they are unable to draw cash in cases
of emergency suggested the organiza-
ton of the bank. 1t will be conducted
on the lines of a state bank. 1t will
be open day and night, and there will
always be on hand a large emergency
fund.
Owing to the heavy expense necessl-
tated by the employment Of a double
clerical force, the bank will pay M
interest on deposits. Women return
ing from the opera will be able to de-
posit their Jewels without risk OF los
ing them over night.
