PRESIDENT PRAISED
INTERPARLIAMENTARY CONGRESS
IN SESSION AT BRUSSELS.
Opening OF the Congress the Coca.
sion for a Notable OemOnStra.
ton In Behalf of President
Roosevelt and His Work for
Peace.

Brussels, Aug. 29.-King Leopold
received the delegates to the Interpar-
iamentary congress yesterday after
noon. He conversed with each of the
American members, expressing his ad-
miration for the United States and
saying that he kept President Roose-
velt's photograph, bearing his sigma
ture on his desk in his study.
The opening of the congress was the
occasion for a notable demonstration
in behalf Of President Roosevelt and
the success of the peace conference at
Portsmouth.
Large delegations, representing prac-
tically the leading parliaments of the
world, were present.
Tributes by ministers.
The welcoming address delivered by
Minister of State Beernaert, aroused q
storm of applause when he referred to
President Roosevelt's two conspicuous
movements in behalf of peace in first
calling another meeting Of The Hague
conference, and, secondly, in bringing
together the plenipotentiaries of Rus
STA and Japan.
Baron de Favereau, the Belgian min
lister of foreign affairs, added flattering
tributes to the American president 8
efforts.
Mr.. Bartholdt said:
THE status of our common cause in
the United States never justified more
favorable report than it does at the
present time. Two causes have main
ly contributed toward this revival of
interest in the peace movement-the
meeting Of the Interparliamentary Con-
gress on American soil, and the deep
growing disgust with that barbarous
war in the Orient.
"Under The Hague convention the
president already enjoys larger mea-
sure of discretion than the new treat
les, in their amended form, would have
conferred upon him. The failure Of
these treaties may prove blessing in
disguise. It justifies the hope that the
outcome will be the approval by The
Hague conference, of a treaty Of wider
scope and yet more definite in detail.
sit is with pardonable pride we
Americans point to the historical fact
that it was left to an American presi-
dent not only to open the doors Of The
Hague again, but also to stop, in the
interests Of both the belligerents and
humanity, the war between Russia and
Japan"
The congress then adopted with en-
thusiaem resolutions Of thanks to Pres
ident Roosevelt, and the secretary was
instru cted to cable the following:
President Roosevelt, Oyster Bay
Tho Interpsrliamentsry Congress, at
Brussels assem- bled, sends greetings
and has the honor to advise you that
it has passed resolutions expressing it's
high appreciation of your action in
calling a second conference at The
Hague in the interest of international
peace. and its profound thanks for
your noble efforts in the interests Of
humanity to terminate the Russo Jap
anese war"
Model Treaty Discussed.
The congress afterward discussed
the American proposal for a model ar
bitration treaty. The congress resolv
ed to refer the treaty proposition to a

Appeal Will Be Taken, Probably to
federal Supreme Court.
Seattle, Aug. 28.-The constitution
atty of the state law which forbids
dealing in railway passenger tickets
without license from the railroads
has been upheld by Judge Gillian, Of
the superior court, after a hearing on
the application of Hugh J. O'Nell for
writ of habeas corpus. The action
is test case on the determination of
which the existence Of the irregular
brokerage establishments in the state
will depend, and an appeal will be
made and bitterly fought. The case
will probably be carried to the supreme
court Of the United States, according
to statement of Attorney Richard
SAKE Jones.
Both Sides Argue.
At the hearing this week, the argu-
ments advanced by Richard SAKE Jones
and Judge Brinker in the attack on
the validity of the law, wers that 1t

terfered with the right Of persons to
continue legitimate business already
established, and that the requirement
that brokers secure license from the
railroads was an improper delegation
of legislative power to the companies.
The law was upheld by Prosecuting
Attorney Macintosh and Attorney
James McElroy, the latter appearing
on behalf of the railroads. They con-
tended that the statute was legiti-
mate exercise of the police power. that
the business in question was menace
to public morals in that the brokers
constantly instigated and taught their
customers to commit forgery and to
defraud the railroads. 1t was asserted
that last year $50 transcontinental pas
sengers were put off the Northern Pa.
cific trains at Auburn and Kent ON &C.

and that the business thus worked a
recurring injury to many more or less
innocent members of the travelling
public.

whom could it belong?
Marg'ret Poole had always been an
honest woman. She had never taken A
thing which did not belong 10 her In
her whole life. She suddenly expert
enced a complete moral revulsiOn. It
was as II her principles, whose weights
were made shifty by her long watching
and longing, had suddenly gyrated In q
wild somersault. While they were re-
versed, Marg'ret. wariIy glancing
around, slipped that parcel under her
arm. opened the door and sped home.
II was better Christmas weather than
IL had been a week ago. There was
now fine level OF snow. and the air
was clear and cold. Marg'ret painted

hurrying along in chattering sroups.
She wondered IL they could see the

She got out three of the children's

up beside the chimney. Then she drew
chair before the stove. and went
over TO the bureau 10 get her Bible;
she always read a chapter before she
went to bed. MarEret was not a
church member. she never said any
thing about It. but she had a persist

up the Bible; then laid # down; then
she took 1t up again with a clutch.

The evening before Christmas she
went up to the postofice. The last
mail was in. and there was no letter for
her. Then she kept on TO the store.
IL was rather early. and there were not
as yet many customers. Margr ret be-

Marg'ret had been ambitious all her
life. She had made struggle after

OF them. She made up her mind that
she would have things like other people.
Then she married. and her husband
spent her money. One failure came
after another. She slipped back again

notch. And here she was tonight, old
and poor with these three helpless chill

But she felt something besides dis

true blonde tints of her youth, which

The Improvement Society recently
had some of the weeds along the streets
and walks cut down, but the amount
appropriated was not sufficient to do
ali that was needed in this direction,
and as the city is not disposed to con-
tinue the good work it must be done by
individuals if at all. These weeds OBJ
struct the sidewalks in many places
and are very unsightly, If left to grow
they scatter their seeds and spread
rapidly In South Bend, Indiana, a
newly created city health department
is urging legislation by the city council
for the elimination of weeds. The de-
partment proposes an ordinance which
shall require property owner to re-
move weeds from his premises and
that if he does not do so it shall be
done by the street commissioner, the
expense be charged to the property
owner and made lien against his prop
erty The South Bend Tribune says:
The campaign against weeds has been
waged in South Bend for years. Every
summer the subject presents itself to
the embarrassment of the health de-
partment, which dislikes to require the
arrest and punishment OF those who
disobey the law. The great growth of
the city and the refusal of so many
property owners to obey the law has,
therefore, prompted the health depart
ment to prepare a meritorious measure
which should be a solution of the vexa-
tious problem.

WE'LL Known New England Woman Cured
of Hay Fever-Cure was Lasting.
The thousands of discouraged people
who dread the approach Of summer because
they have hay fever and cannot find any re-
lief from it, will read with the interest and
gratitude the following statement from
Helen S. Williams of Mansfield, Mass.
s'For q years, from the month of August
until heavy frost, have been afflicted with
hay fever, growing worse each year, until
of late years l was unable to attend to my
work during that period.
"LaSt summer | fortunately gave Hyo-
mel a trial, and l am happy to say that it
entirely cured me, and l have no occurrence
of the disease since"
This letter is only one of many that have
come to the proprietors of Hyomei, and the
results following this treatment have been
so remarkable that it is proposed at the an
nual convention of hay fever sufferers to
recommend Hyomei.
BY breathing the germ-killing and heal
ing balsams of Hyomei, anyone can have at
any moment of the day, either in their
home Or office, climate like that of the
White Mountains.
The complete outfit costs but 81, extra
bottles Sc cents. r. II. Moody agrees to
refund the money to any hay fever sufferer
who uses Hyomei without benefit

YACHTS AND BOATS.

The schooner yacht Lorlei of Ellsworth
cruising, with party on board arrived here
Friday afternoon from Camden and remain
ed over night.
The Una was owned at one time by Mr..
+. X. Harris, who now has summer home
ON Holbrook's Island, Castine harbor, and
who cruised in these waters for several sea-
sons. Through an error of her sailing
master she struck ledge and was taken on
the marine railway here for repairs, when
her model was much admired. She only
needed al overhang aft to make her mod
ern looking yacht. She was designed by
the noted marine architect George Steers
and in her original sloop rig was the win
ner of many races. We do not find her in
the latest government list and if still atloat
it is under another name
The New York sun in a recent article On
yachts makes mention of two well known
in these waters. Speaking of the yachts
that have drifted into trade as pilot boats,
fishing schooners and small traders the Sun
says:
One If the Oldest Of these is the schooner
Sport, which was built in 1919 and was
owned i'll the early days of the New York
Yacht club by Col. Thomas T. Ferris of the
city quad. This boat when last heard of
was d fisherman on the Maine coast She
was called the Hornet after she ended her
yachting career and became pilot boat
ana ii. sherman in Virginia waters. This
boat was rebuilt in 1917 and again i'll 1866.
Tie sport was owned for many years in
Bucksport and was frequently seen at this
port Oh her pleasure cruises down the bay
The Sun says of another well known craft !:
The Una is another old vessel that is
about somewhere. She was built in 1854
for James NJ. Waterbury and was after
ward owned by Louis NJ. Rutherford and
then by ". Butler Duncan; She, is still
staunch boat, but old fashioned and not
much in demand
