Union of Canada and the United States
was the keynote of an address delivered
by Speaker Cannon last night before the
National Wholesale Lumber Dealers

The remarks were received with great
enthusiasm. the audience often rising to

Cannon I'VE are people Of a common

How long will it be before in North

There is a oneness Of language be-

There is a common interest between

ADDRESS OF DIR. CHASE, OF
THE STATE UNIVERSITY
He Will Speak Before the Indian
apolis Literary Club To-Mor-
row Evening.

DR.. Lewis Nathaniel Chase, of the English
department of the State University, will ad-
dress the Indianapolis Literary Club to-
morrow (Monday) evening on Samuel
Taylor Coleridge." DR.. Chase came to In
diana from Columbia University last fall
An interesting incident of considerable i'm
portance in the history of Columbia is con-
nected with his name. He was George
Edward Woodberry's assistant in the de-
partment OF comparative literature for
several years, and when Seth Low retired
and Nicholas Murray Butler became presi-
dent of the university, an effort was made
to cripple Professor Woodberry's depart
ment by cutting off the appropriation for
DR.. Chases salary. a great row followed,
as Woodberry was the most popular men,
Der of the Columbia faculty, having been
so declared by a vote of the students for
seven successive years, and it was asserted
by his friends that the blow at Chase was
meant as a personal affront to Woodbury..
Several wealthy alumni in New York
offered 10 support Woodberrys department
by private subscription, but Woodbury. re-
tired to his home at Beverly, on the north
shore of Massachusetts,, and did not go
back to New York last fall. Only a few
weeks ago he settled the controversy by
resigining his chair which has not been
filled and he has lately gone abroad. Chase
had already Joined the teaching staff OF
Indiana University.
DIR. Chase is particularly well qualified
to teach dramatic literature, he was for
a time on the stage, playing Shaksperean
roles with success. He is the author of a
standard work. THE English Heroic Play. .
Is doctor of philosophy of Columbia Uni

Recent Receptions, Parties and Luncke0ns,
WeadIng Announcements, Engagements
and a Calendar Of club Meetings

A Chicago woman has discovered a new
and thrilling form of entertainment in the
beauty luncheon" Chicago may be count
ed upon for sensations and this latest func-
ton stirred up commotion in the inner cir
Giles OF Chicago society, which were bit
dull, perhaps because of the lenten sea-
son. Mrs. John Barton Payne was the
originator of the beauty luncheon and her
plan was to select fifteen of the loveliest
OF the Chicago debutantes and entertain
them at luncheon. Her intention was
known 10 Chicago's 100 before the invita-
tions were ready TO be sent out, but as the
clever hostess kept her own counsel as TO
the guests she had selected, the pretty
nnaidens OF the Chicago smart set were
kept the qm Vive, alternating between
hope and fear. For days before the
luncheon the possibilities and impossible
titles of invitations being extended 10 this
that and the other one of the beauties Of
the city were discussed at receptions and
teas and the function. small though il was,
created a stir that has been equalled by
few things this winter. Now that the bright
Chicago hostess has evolved the idea of the
speciality luncheon, a long succession Of
similar companies will suggest themselves
10 the receptive minds of prospective en-
tertainers. The brightest girls. the brunette
girls. the blonde girls. the girls of all kinds,
with the possible exception of the plainest
girls, might be selected for guests at spe-
cial affairs instead Of the old higsIedy-pig-
gledy method OF inviting the people one
wants or the people one is indebted to be-
ing followed. The trend of the times is
toward specialists and speciaIties and it is
small wonder that the fad has arrived in
society circles.

SAVED BY HANDWRITING MAN.
Expert CaryalhO's Decision stops Hanging
In south Carolina.

COLUMBIA, y. c., Oct. 18.--Hoyt Hayes, a
white man Of Oconee county, who was TO
have been hanged yesterday, has been
respited and his sentence committed to life
imprisonment. A letter was recently found
addressed to the dead woman's sister In
which the writer said that rather than suffer
the pain OF becoming a mother she would
die. 1t was charged that this letter had
been written by Hayes and was forgery.
The matter was brought to Gov. Hey
wards attention who submitted the letter,
with others having been written by MRS,
Hayes, to Richard n. Carvalho, the hand
writing expert. Upon his decision that
the writing was that OF the dead woman
the Governors action was taken. The
evidence upon which Hayes was convicted
was purely circumstantal.
Not hearing of the Governors decision
over 200 farmers gathered at Walla Hala
yesterday to witness the hanging.
