IN MEMORIAN.


Entered into rest, Monday, July 3,
1905, at the age of 70, Mrs. Elizabeth
Bell, wife of James B. Bell, of Utica,
Kans. The death Of Mrs. Bell marks
the passing away of most estimable
Christian woman-faithful, conscien-
-tlous and prayerful in all the details
of her life. Her last illness was brief
and painless, the death a few years
ago of her only daughter, Mrs. Noble,
was bereavement from which she
never recovered. Being a contestant
and devoted adherent of the ,Presby-
terrain doctrine, she lived and died in
the belief that the souls Of believers
are at their death made pei feet in
holiness do Immediately pass into
glory, their bodies being still united
to Christ, do rest in their graves until
the resurrection.
Mrs. Bell is survived by her hus-
band and her son Charles NJ. Bell Of
Utica. MRS. ANNA AsHCOM.

Chairman knapp's Denial.

Washington, July S.-In an author ized statement tonight Chairman Mar tin A. Knapp, of the Interstate Com merce Commission. denied certain pub lished reports to the effect that mem- bers of the Commission had criticised President Roosevelt's endorsement of Paul Morton, declaring them to be "as unjust to the Commission as they are to the President and MT. Morton .
 MT. Morton, he said, had been most helpful to the work of the Commission, and he praised President Roosevelt Tor publicly upholding one who is sought to be made the victim of his avn frapkness and courage.
 For years, he added. MT. Morton had been a consistent and courageous ad- voeate of railroad reform and he was satisfied that MT. Morton's opinion as to the legislation which is needed to effectually put an end to rebates and rate discrimindtions would not differ materially from his own.

Sweden still Excited.

Christiana, July S.-The Secretary of the Norwegian Government Office at Stockholm was preparing to decorate the building on the occasion of the entry into the state of Prince Gustavus Adolphus and his bride. permission hav- ing been given him to do so This oc- casioned hostile criticism in the Swed . ish press which declared that Sweden should not allow the flag of revolution aries to welcome the princely couple.
 To avoid hurting Swedish susceptibil- tiles or causing an unpleasant demon- stration. the Secretary was recalled and arrived at Christiana today The Nor wegian Governments palace at Stock holm will therefore be empty tomor- row. ..z.
 The incidents are regarded here as striking evidence of the excited state of Swedish feeling, as the Norwegian Government merely wished to pay it's respects to the former dynasty.

Ntcr m yyomcr,. Pl.c~..

T cannot understand why women are so desperately anxious to enter professions and trades which obviously are suited only to men," says a writer. while they allow men to supersede them in others that seem by right to belong to women/ alone. Cne of these Is the art of hairdressing; another is cooking; a third is dress designing. Men are acknowledged to excel in all these occupations. but 1t is my firm conviction that, if women only chose, they could cut out the men and be en- titled to higher wages. It is absurd to think that a woman should not be able to dress hair better than a man."

 General Agent.


 New York. July 8.-Archibald c. Haynes, general agent for the Equita- ble Life Assurance Society, controll- ing it's largest and most important agency, with headquarters In Broad Street. New York, sent his resignation today to Paul Morton. chairman Of the board of directors His various ofhces are in the heart of the financial dis tricts and he counts among his custo- mers many noted men.
 MT Haynes summoned his corps Of agents to a meeting Thursday and ad- dressed them. He declared plainly that he could no longer fndorse the de- ferred dividend plan of policy and urged them to work on the non-par- ticipation of stock policies. whereby the policyholder has his rights fully guaranteed.
 MT. Haynes said he had determined to resign. Accordingly he laid upon MT. Mortons desk today letter in which he said in part:
 Several of yesterdays papers con- tained the statement that l. with other general agents, was opposing youf plans for reorganizing the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The item has caused me to study tle situation even harder than ever before to find out where my duty lies to the public, to my agents and to the society.
 "As I never intended to use my in fiuence in the future in the direction of inducing the public to buy loaded participating premiums in any com pany or society other than purely mutual organization. and as the com missions on stock or non-participating policies by the Equitable Society are so unreasonably small that agents who are perfectly willing to work upon moderate commissions could not main- tain themselves, and in view of the mixed control of the society. I have decided to discontinue my active op- erations. for and with the society. on and after Dec 31, next, and hereby tender my resignation to take effect from that date, without prejudice to any. and all claims l may have against the society under contracts"

Komura Leaves Tokto,

Tokio, July Sharon Komura, the peace envoy, and his suite, left Shfm- bashi Railroad station for Yokohama this afternoon amid hearty send off from the elder statesmen, cabinet min isters. the diplomatic corps. generals. adimrals, court dignitaries and repre- sentatives of the important societies and associations, several hundred in number. who had gathered at the Shambashi station several hours ahead of time. The capacity of the spacious platform was tested to the utmost.
 Nature seemed to be favoring the de- parture of the peace commission, for the day happened to be bright and warm, which is not often experienced during the rainy season now prevail ing. Such a large gathering of dis tinguished personages. official and otherwise, has not frequently been seen on the Shimbashi platform. Enthusi- astic "banzais" drowned the whistle and noise of the train as it pulled out of the station with Baron Komura on board Even elderly persons seldom seen excited. joined in the hearty banzais. Baron Komura, who has al- ready shown rare ability and success as a diplomatist, now goes on his pres ent mission with the full confidence of all concerned.
 The streets were lined with crowds from early in the day. and all parts of the city were decorated with lanterns and flags. The electric street cars also were decorated with flags.
 Tn editorial comments are unani- nous in wishing success to Baron Ko- mura, and his suite. The whole of Tokio Is apparently rejoiced at the peace prospect, after so many months of sanguinary war.
