ENGLISH MEN.
Mrs. perkins Gilman" Declares Her
Admiration of the Male Briton.

From the London Truth.
The lady who delivered series of lee
lures at the women's institute on the
faults of Englishwomen and the noble
qualities of Engllshmen. is from New
York. This admiration of our men is very
touching. and rather pathetic. 1t reminds
me of something l heard said in Hyde
Park one lovely June day when all the
smart world was crushed into about n
quarter of a mile in the Immediate vicinity
of Achilles statue.
A tall handsome woman. dressed in
heavy black velvet remarked to her com
panion in an Enthusiastically American voice:
How very nice the men look.'
Mrs. Perkins Gilman goes further. She
says: How very nice the men arei

What would il take to induce you to go to
New York and lecture at one of the wo-

selfishness and narrowness of American

those are a few of the faults of which
Mrs Perkins Gilman has been loudly ac-

THE PRESIDENTS CAMP
LUCK OF THE HUNTERS IS RE-
GARDED AS UNPRECEDENTED.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Col, April 26..-
Secretary Loeb left here today to pay his
second visit to President Roosevelt at his
camp in the bear country of the Rockies.
He goes to New Castle and from there will
ride to the camp, distance of sixteen or
eighteen miles. The secretary took with
him a number of documents for the Pres
idents signature. daily papers. plans for
the return trip and communications that
have been telegraphed here concerning the
success of the hunt. Mr.. Loeb expects to
come back tomorrow.
Local hunters say the luck OF the party
is unprecedented, considering the season.
weather and the character of the country
where the President is located.
When the story reached here that three
bears had been killed yesterday and two
the day before no credence was given 10

would they give credence to the story, and
even then they were better satisfied whel
they saw the pelts that Chapman left 20

1t has now been settled definitely that
the President will not go to Redstone. The
camp may be moved few miles further
south, as the present grounds are hunted
out but the party will not stray far fr I'm

Our Harshness to Animals.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

The drayman who beats his horse and
thereby dsenables 1T from performing as
much work as the animal will do when
properly treated, has the partial defense
of ignorance, custom and innate brutality.
Not SO the vivisector Here is a man who
cuts and fortunes animals for learnings
sake, exhibiting proofs of facts known al
ready to every member of his class with
cut the proofs. He is not ignorant, lie
does not follow custom. because fortunately
the public diSmemberment of humble fell
low-creatureS is not general, and he would
protest vigorously against the charge of
brutality. Yet 1t is a fact that the tor
ture of animals before classes of young
men and women has the effect on those
classes of hardening them. In the sur
geon's mind there may be a gain to sell
ence in causing dog or rabbit TO be con-
vulsed with pain, but if so 1t Is more than
offset by the moral injury to those who are
brought by repetitions of these scenes to
look upon them with Indifference. Vivisect
ors themselves have confessed that the
practical gain from their experiments has
been practically nothing, and their confeS-
sions before legislative bodies have been
such as to shock and disgust, and to wiring
from nobler souls the declaration that they
would scorn to be saved from pain by i'm
posing suffering on the dumb and defense
less, even If such suffering resulted In
benefit to the human race.
We have passed laws for the punishment
of those who beat and Starve and neglect
the animals who serve them: we abhor the
Spanish bull fight, that consigns to a rela-
lively quick death the animal who doubt
less feels little pain in the ardor of battle:
we forbid dog fights and cock fights; yet
III certain colleges permit the dissec-
ton of living creatures without anesthet-
les, and it is even alleged of one fiend that
he threw 125 dogs out of window in DR.
der to secure scientific" data to the
number of bones broken by the fall and
the length of time that the sufferers sur
yiyed.

DO NOT AWAIT COMPLAINTS.
Concerns Investigated by Postal OFF,
ciaIs Upon SUSPICION.

Since the induction into office of Post
master General Cortelyou there have been
several important changes in the admins
tratIon of the service among them the at
torney generals office. Heretofore 1t has
been the general custom to investigate sus-
picious concerns doing business through the
mails after they have been brought to the
attention Of the office by complaints of
those who have been victimized. The spe-
cialty of the department now is to set the
inspectors at work on all concerns coming
within the purview of their work, whether
they have been the subject of complaints
or not. The result is a decided increase OF
the orders issued from the Office or the as
sistant attorney general and the better pro-
lection of the public.
The Home Cooperative Company was one
of these concerns which was ferreted out
by the shrewdness of the inspectors. Some
time since a fraud order was issued against
this concern but was later revoked. II
was still later learned that their operations
had again become a matter of suspicion,
and the department again took it up, the
result being that an order has been issued
against all the agents that have been To-
Gated From time to time others may be
rounded up, and all of them will be forbid
den tho use of the mails for the prosecution
of Their business. The department holds
that, under their system, they cannot make
good their promises and that therefore the
scheme is illegitimate and fraud.
Many persons who have been the victims
of these frauds are disinclined to make
complaint to the department. and 1t is these
ana other innocent persons whom the Off
Gals of the government wish to protect.
In every case where concern or individual
is suspected Of fraudulent dealing opportun-
ity is given for defense before the judiciary
Officers of the department, and II it can be
shown that the operations are within the
law there is an END OF the matter Gen.
orally. however, this cannot be shown and
a fraud order puts a stop to the business.
In still many other cases the defendant
concerns never appear, knowing that there
is no hope for them, and thereby admitting
their guilt Orders issue against these
rather quickly the whole tenor of the serv-
ice being to protect the public and to put
a stop to the illegal use of the mails.

RECIPROCITY TREATY
GERMANY READY TO NEGOTIATE
WITH UNITED STATES.

BERLIN, April 26.-The imperial govern
ment, preparatory to excluding the United
States from the privileges of the new re-
ciprocity treaties signed recently with seven
European states has formally notified the
American government that the tariff agree
ment between Germany and the United
States of July 10, 1900, will terminate March
1. 1906, the day the new treaties go into
effect, but that Germany stands ready to
negotiate a reciprocity treaty with the
United States.
This notification, made by Foreign Sec
rotary Won Richthofen March IA, after the
decision of the cabinet, said that the treat
les concluded with Russia, Italy, Belgium
Switzerland. Austria-Hungary, Roumania
and Servia form a new basis, so reads
the text, flor the commercial relations OF
Germany, and the imperial government
holds itself prepared to enter into nego-
tiations for the conclusion of a new COM
mercial treaty with the United States.''
The German view as held at the foreign
office and at the ministry of the interior
is that the United States cannot reasonably
expect to share in special benefits given by
Germany to certain European states in ex-
change for other specific tariff reductions.
Should the United States have the same adj
vantages without giving anything in return
the treaty countries could justly complain
that they We're in effect Disseminated
against because from them certain things
were exacted by bargain which were freely
given to the United States.
But if the United States desires to take
up the general tariff question and arrange a
reciprocal government, Germany will be
very glad to do so. Otherwise Germany S
new general tariff, which also goes into
effect March 1, 1906 will be applied to i'm
ports from the United States.
The government in terminating the pres
erit modus vivendi has done what the agra
rians have steadily asked for since the new
commercial treaties We're concluded. Public
opinion in Germany has also been fully pre-
pared for the governments act by publica-
ton of the Commercial Treaty Association
and the Central European Industrial League
and articles in the principal financial peri
odicals written by persons in utilization with
the ministry of the interior, although the
news is not yet published here.
The inspired Cologne Gazette only yester-
day contained an editorial on the necessity
for readjustment of the tariff relations be-
tween Germany and the United States
Washington has not yet replied to Ger
many'S proposal.

WHERE WAR BALLOON Is MADE,
Big Workshop Established by the Brit
ish at Aldershot.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's weekly.
The utility of war balloons was early
made manifest to the British, and accord
ingly the factory at Aldershot. which we
are about to describe was established I'M
der the supervision of Lieut.. Col. Templer,
an officer of engineers, who is recognized
in all the armies of the world one of the
foremost authorities on military aerostat-
les.
Col Templer is always pleased to have
an opportunity of showing his splenddly
equipped factory; and the very first depart
ment into which he ushers the visitor is
that in which long lines of girls are sewing
together sections of goldbeaters skin, out
of which the envelopes of the balloons are
made.
The workshops are all wonderfully inter
estng. There is one for the weaving and
testing of the vast network of cordage that
confines the envelope of the balloon; an
other for the construction of the wicker
cars of all Sizes a third for brass turning,
and so on.
When all the departments of the balloon
factories have done their part toward form
ing one of these monsters, these parts are
rapidly put together in a shed or barn of
great height and spaciousnesS. The enor-
nous cover is laid on the floor, the bewil-
dering area of cordage is laid over 1t, and
then the center of the envelope IS hoisted
to the roof and work begun on the lower
part of the huge machine. Usually at this
stage a wagon load of tubes of gas arrives
from the chemical department. and a pre-
lirninary filing is begun to see whether the
skins leak at all at the Jennings.
Wagon loads of these tubes accompany
every military balloon in the field, whether
it be of the free" or captive" variety. In
connection with the factory. too. there are
schools of military photography and cartog-
raphy, and in these branches of military
science young officers qualify themselves
for special service.

SCHEME DISAPPROVED
PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGAINST
POOL ROOM AT KENILWoRTH.


Spec1ft b1spatcn To The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, April 26.-GeneraI
disapproval of the scheme to establish a
pool room near Kenilworth in Prince
George county, is manifested. and the in
dications are that the promoters will meet
with strenuous opposition, not only from
the citizens In and about Kenilworth. but
from all those who believe in upholding
the dignity and preserving the peace of
the community.
Judge George c. Merrick stated to The
Star correspondent here this afternoon that
his only knowledge of the intention to es-
tablish the poolroom was obtained from
the newspapers. He did not care to VEN
ture an opinion to what action would be
taken to prevent the contamination of the
Scheme, but declared with emphasis that
the court viii do all in it's power to pre-
vent any violations of the law in the
county.
When 1t was suggested to him that the
wentworth pool room was accredited with
being similar to the establishment raded
by the late Sheriff Haniesty near Wild
wood several years since, he stated that
this case had never come before the court,
but had been disposed OF before a justice
of the peace.
Mr.. NJ. Hampton Magruder states at
torney for the county. declared positively
the opinion that the proposed operations
would be in violation of law. but intima ted
that he could take no action in the prem
ises until the cases came before the court.
He pointed out a possible difficulty In prov
ing case against the management, in that
it is generally believed that the actual
proof of the race being rum. and the fact
that the particular horse upon which the
money was placed participated in the race,
might be required. In his opinion, how
ever, such proof would not be necessary,
but the fact that the money was actually
placed on particular horse would suffice.
Sheriff T. B. Middleton was also ques-
toned concerning the proposed pool room,
but declined to venture an opinion as to
what would be done until he is in pos
session Of more information on the sub
ject. He expressed surprise that the pro-
ject had been so far developed, but gave no
intimaton to what course of action he
would pursue.
Among the lawyers here the opinion seems
to be general that the proposed pool room
will be in direct violation of the gambling
laws of the state which prohibit the max
ing of books on foreign races. 1t is under
stood upon the highest authority, that these
people do not claim that there is any law
justifying the establishment of the place,
but going ahead upon the assumption
that the people will not object to it. From
what can be gathered here, this assumption
is altogether erroneous, and it is certain
that the citizens of Kenilworth and vicinity
will enter violent protest.
