Free From "Help."

Aunt Jemima," as everybody called
her. was the oldest person in the
neighborhood. She was known to be
over one hundred years old, and IN
sisted that she was nearly n hun-
dred and twenty; but in spite of ler
advanced age she was still vigorous
and in the enjoyment of perfect
health.
Moved by that feeling of curiosity
which people have about anything
that is abnormal or unusual, several
fine ladies from the city went one
day to the little village where she
lived, and called on her.
Tell us, aunty," said one of them,
what is the secret of your great age
and your wonderful vitality?"

Jemima. with a sly twinkle in her

ENTIRE PUBLIC
GIVEN BENEFIT
Fifty Admissions to the Worlds
Fair for $3.50.
GREAT CHANCE FOR VISITORS
Those Who Go to the Fair For an
Extended Sta Have n Chance
to Reduce their Outlay
for omissions.

st. Louis. May 25.-As the result OF
an extended conference between the ex-
ecutive committee of the exposition
and the members of the national com
mission it has been agreed that the sale
of half-rate admission tickets to the
Worlds fair should be extended to the
general public.
The conference was occasioned by
the action of the national commission.
last Friday, in refusing TO approve the
proposition of the Worlds fair man
agement to sell to subscribers to ex-
position stock. who had paid up, hfty-
coupon, Photographic, non-transferable
tickets at $12.50 each.
The refusal of the commission to ap-
prove the proposition was on the
ground that such a sale at the reduced
rates constituted a declaration of divi-
dends on Worlds fair paid-up stock
and that it transgressed the law. which
required that the national government
should be considered a preferred credi-
tor of the exposition company, and
that no first lien should be given 70
other creditors to the prejudice OF the
government.
The question was taken up at the
meeting for a full and free-conference
and was finally settled by the adoption
of an addition to Article 5 of the by
laws of the exposition company, by
which the ~fifty-coupon tickets may be
sold to stockholders of the exposition
and all others desiring them at $l2.5u
on or before June Is.
The addition to the rules provide.
that any stakeholder of the exposition
company, or any persons presenting an
order from the national commission to
the treasurer of the company, may at
any time prior to June Is, purchase for
1925 one Photographic, n~on-transfera-
BILE ticket with fifty coupons attached
each coupon good for n admission to
the fair. at any time on or before De-
cember 1, 1904.
The effect of the adopted rule is to
give the puUlIC inc INC VI NAN
duced rate, as it is said that 1t is the
intention of the national commission
Immediately to prepare the order
blanks and to make all arrangements
to issue them to all applicants.
The national commission will no
issue these orders to any person who
is already a subscriber TO the capita
stock of the exposition company, as the
holder of. such stock is privileged II
buy the half-rate coupon tickets with
out such order.
The general sale of the half-rat'
tickets viii place what is practically
{ season ticket within the reach OF al
most every one. The price of the sea
son tickets is S25, and the book of cou
pons contains a coupon OF admission
for every day in the year. AS yer.
few will use all of the coupons, it l
, thought thai there will be an enor

persons who regard them as being II
effect a season ticket.
The sale of the half-rate tickets t
stockholders, which was suspended al
ter the adverse ruling of the nationa
commission, has been resumed.

WILL TAKE RADICAL ACTION
Vatican Controversy to be Presented
to French Chamber of Deputies.
II Ia Anticipated That an Effort VIII
BE Made to Abolish the French
Embassy to the Holy see.

Paris. May 25.-The French govern
ment has decided to fully present the
vatican controversy, eliminating in the
recall of M. Nisard to the chamber
of deputies. A violent debate is ex-
pected, and the government is prepar-
ing itself for more radical action thai
that heretofore taken, since it is anticl-
pated that an effort will be made TO
abolish the French embassy to the
holy see. Foreign Minister /Delcasse
will present the diplomatic negotiations
with the vatican, and Premier Combes
will set forth the attitude and inten-
tons of the government. The officials
express the belief that the embassy
will not be suppressed, but they say
the present feeling may lead to that
result when the appropriation for sus-
tanning the embassy comes before the
chamber, a month hence, at which time
the budget for foreign affairs will be
considered. But some parliamentary
elements are seeking the Immediate
consideration of the matter, with the
view of a%bolishing the embassy.
The officials here do not credit the
report circulated by the Tribuna OF
Rome that King Alfonso has indefi-
nitely postponed his proposed visit to
President LQubet, in order to avoid
friction with the pope. The Spanish
kings visit to M. Loubet has been
settled upon in principle, but the days
have not yet been considered.
Members of the diplomatic corps say
it is definitely settled that the pro-
test to which France took exception
was addressed by the vatican TO Spain
This was the only protest containing
the clause ~intimating that the papa
nuncio would be withdrawn If othel
and similar visits were made to Klns
Victor Emmanuel.
The correspondent of the Temps a
Rome telegraphs on the authority o
the vatican that the intimations rela
tive to the withdrawal of the nunci
went to only one foreign power who's
ruler contemplated visiting the quir
inal.

Conton, O., May 25.-The authorities,
after a conference, decided that there

SHOW DISTINCT IMPROVEMENT.
Reports of Business Conditions to Mer-
camille A geucy

NEW YORK, August 26.-Reports to tho
International Mercantile Agency reflected a
distinct improvement in business conditions
during the week under review. At the
west these gains have been specially noted.
and are partly accounted for by Increased
orders from retailers who were careful not
to livestock with summer goods and are
consequently in an unusually strong position
with reference to securing fall supplies.
Good orders are being received from coun-
try merchants. While dispatches from
various centers are not uniform In express
ing trade revival. the tone is more con-
fident than a week ago and generally sug-
gestive or hopeful outlook for the future.
This revival is particularly reported by Chi
cago wholesalers. The best demand Is noted
in clothing, men and women's apparel ana
shoes. Consumption of commodities and
better orders for canned goods and groc-
cries are further Indications of trade re-
vival In this district. The south is also
active and is likely to develop the heaviest
fall trade reported in years
The st. Paul district. which has been the
center of crop damage excitement. is show
ing up well with conservative business ana
normal trade outlook. In that section as In
other territories whose prosperity Is AFFECT
ed by the wheat yield, the people are pros
porous and not In the least concerned about
the crop killing" scare. While business Is
still disturbed in some sections by the con-
tinuance of labor controversies, this inter-
ruption Is not important and is not likely
to extend to branches not already Affected
Although collections are a little backward
in some sections, general returns this week
are satisfactory except in certain instances
where local conditions have developed un-
usual barriers. 1t Is noticeable, however.
that localities which a short time ago re-
ported deferred settlements. are not COM
planning about present conditions and re-
fleet gradual Improvement The fact that
present Indebtedness represents discriminat
ing purchases Of goods that for the most
part have been readily converted into cash.
shows that conditions in general are propiti-
Gus for quick settlements.
The presidential election Is still a modl-
fying factor In some sections where trade
developments have been held up pending
definite settlement of the Issues involved
But 1t is becoming generally recognized that
the present contest does not involve ques-
tions of far-reaching Importance to the
business community and that aside from
the occasional interruptions due to the
carrying on of a hot campaign the outlook
for September and october is bright.
