DEFENDED PRESIDENT.
Senator Lodge Took Up Situation on
the Isthmus.

the iStnnluS.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Practically the
entire session of the senate Tuesday
was devoted to speech by Mr.. Lodge
on the situation Of the isthmus of Pan
anna. He discussed the abstract ques-
ton of the right of the president to
recognize the independence of a new
nation, and concluded that such a pre-
rogative pertains exclusively to the
office of the chief executive.
He also contended that there had
been a general expectation of an up
rising in Panama in case of the fail
ure of the Hay-Herran treaty, and de-
clared that the president could not
have done less than inform himself of
the prospect. Mr.. Lodge argued that
our intervention in Panama had been
only in the interest of peace and con-
tended that the president had not
gone a step beyond what the propri-
cites called for.

Womans' Club.

Regular meeting Of the Woman's
Club was held at the club rooms Jan.
2, 1904.
Mrs ]. o. Parker read very inter-
esting and instructive paper on Orien-
tai Embroideries and Fabrics. For
ages B. Q. the Oriental countries were
productive of beautiful fabrics made
of wool, silk and linen. At that early
time the cost Of silk was enormous. A
pound of gold for pound Of silk.
Some OF the fabrics were rich and
heavy and others so gauzy and dreamy
as to be called woven air" and "even-
ing dew" Often the fabrics were en-
broideried with beautiful designs,
some so gorgeous that Theophile
Gautier was led to say:
at might almost be said that East
ern embroidery seeks to engage In a
contest with the SUI to have duel to
the death with the binding light and
glowing sky; 1T attempts to shine as
brilliantly beneath this fiery deluge; 1t
realizes the wonders of fairy tales; it
produces dresses In color Of the wealth
err, OF the sun OF the moon; metals,
flowers, precious stones, luStres, beams
OF light are mixed upon it's incandes-
cent palette. Over a silvery net 1t
makes wings Of beetles to vibrate like
fluttering golden jewels; with the
scales of beetles bodies it gives birth
to impossible foliage mixed with
flowers of diamonds. 1t avails Itself
of the simmer OF tawny silk OF the
opalesceut hueS Of mother OF pearl, of
the splendid gold blue blendings of the
peacock s plumage. 1t disdains moth
ing, not even tirsel provided 1T flashes
brightly, not even crystal so long as it
irradiates light. AT all costs its duty
is to shine, sparkle and glitter, to send
forth prismatic rays, it Eust be blaz-
ing, blending and phosphorescent; and
so the sun acknowledges its defeat"
Some OF the most beautiful and
graceful designs come from China and
Japan.
Mis- Parker's paper was illustrated
by numerous and beautiful embroid-
cries which had come from the orient.
Mrs. Parkill read selections from
"The Soul OF the Far East" setting
forth the delicacy and grace of the
japanese art as typitied by the cherry
blossom.
Miss Densmore read an article from
the Craftsman setting forth the prin-
ciples OF the new decorative art move
ment.

Boston, Jan. 4.-With the mercury
lowering around the zero mark in this
city and reaching an extreme of 80
degrees below in northern Maine, New
England slowly emerged Sunday from
the clutches of the widest blizzard
that has swept this part of the coun-
try since the memorable storm of No
vember, 1898.
Only one shipwreck is known to

woman's body was washed ashore at
Nantasket, and it is feared that an

CUT WIPES THROAT.
Buffalo Man Became crazed, Then
Shot Himself.


Buffalo, Jan. 4.-When the police
forced open the door of Joseph Koch
ler's home in Gettra street Sunday
evening to arrest him on a petty
charge, they found him lying on the
floor with bullet in his neck. In
another room was the body of his wife
Annie, 30 years old. There was a
wound in her throat from which she
had bled to death. Roehler was alive
but very weak.
At the hospital Koehler said that
he and his wife quarreled Saturday
morning. She struck him with
poker and he knocked her down with
fatiron, after which he cut her
throat with a. razor. The sight of his
wife's' body crazed him and late Sat
urday night he shot himself in the
neck with a revolver. 1t is probable
he will die.

South America is but little known to
the people of the United States. Com
mon interests should unite the bonds of
friendship between those of the North
and of the South. The first step toward
closer ties is knowledge of the evolu-
ton aad building up of the South
American states. But aside from this
fact, the story of the overthrow Of the
wonderful Inca Empire by Pizarro and
his little band of desperadoes is one of
the most thrilling and fabulous tales of
adventure in all history. 1.-The Drama
tioHistory of South America, by Cyrus
Townsend Brady, in the January Cos

that ''They that take the sword shall
perish by the sword.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
Phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
