Simple Life Club In Ind LLAMA.

What probably is the first simple
life" club in the country is being Or
ganized. says the Chicago Chronicle, in
Richmond, Ind. by ]. b. Dignam. who
is editing local magazine. MIR. Dig
nam received his inspiration from the
Rev. Charles Wagners book. 'The
Simple Life" and he says the local
movement is to be followed by an eff
fort to make the organization national
in it's scope and with the one purpose
in view Of doing good to humanity.
Speak justly, speak frankly" Is the
motto.
Mr.. Dignam says that he has writ
ten a letter to the Rev. Mr.. Wagner
asking him to make suggestions that
may aid In making the organization ma
tional and perhaps international.

Channel Kept Open by MuskellunRe

Channel Kept Open by Muskellunge.
What has been regarded as pecul-
lar phenomenon of nature was recently
explained, says Woodruff (Minn.)
correspondent Of the st. Paul Dispatch.
Ever since Rice lake was frozen over
it has been noticed that narrow chan
mel was always open at the entrance
to the thoroughfare leading into Alder
lake Tom Miller early the other morn
ing noticed that thin coating of ice
had formed during the night. While
looking at 1t he was astonished to see
a big muskellunge start from the east
shore and, acting for all the world like
a tug bucking heavy ice, break its way
to the other shore. Reaching that, the
big fish, which, according to Miller,
naust have weighed seventy-fi five pounds,
started back, trimming up the rough
edges Of the channel. Mr.. Miller says
it was the most remarkable sight he
ever witnessed.

The Critical Stage.

The last stage of the statehood fight in the Fifty y-eighth' congress was reach ed yesterday. when the Hamilton bill, which has passed both houses was sent to conference. The conference committee will hold its first meeting tomorrow. As to the outcome, predic- tions from this end of the line are worth little space, in view of the fact that many contradictory prophecies can be heard in congress itself. Any thing may happen. or nothing may happen.
 The personnel of the committee ap- pointed on the part of the senate in dfcates that the upper house is willing to recede from most of its amend ments. Senators Beveridge and Nelson advocate in the main, the bill as it passed the house. Senator Bate stand ing for the bill as amended in the sen ate. In making up the committee as it has, the senate has violated prece- dent; 1t is usual to apopint senators who will represent in conference a ma jority of the senate.
 If the two houses get together on the bill. it is evident that the most this lege of voting separately from New Mexico on the question of ratifying the constitution of the proposed state of Arizona. Were our friends in the senate so disposed they could, of course, block all action during the few remaining days of the session by talking against time. But there is no assurance that they will do this. Sen ator Bailey of Texas. hitherto one of the most incorporating enemies of the house measure, announced Friday that If a wrong had to be committed against Oklahoma or Arizona, he would let the wrong fall on Arizona. Piqued because Senator Daniel of Virginia re- fused to postpone the resumption of the impeachment trial for five min utes. MT. Bailey said:
 Then I shall vote for the bill as 1t passed the house. I have opposed the annexation Cunion) of Arizona and New Mexico, but I will not longer aI- low any vote of mine to stand in the way. of justice to 100000 people in the interest of 3O0.OOO elsewhere
 And. indeed. the attitude of the Tex as senator is not surprising. It Is. in fact. the position which we have ex- pected most of the democratic senators to take. ultimately. They are exceed ingly anxious that Oklahoma shall be admitted at this session, and to ac- compHsh their purpose they are likely
 
 Arizona and New Mexico shall have al separate vote. Senator Bailey. it seems. will not even insist on that
 But Senator Bard and Senator For aker have shown no signs of wayering.

E1onorIng hiss Willard. l.

At the exercises held in connection
 with the placing of a statue of Frances
 E. Willard in statuary hall in Wash ington, one of the speakers in paying a tribute to her memory said that she
 was the most widely loved woman in the United States. And it is true that
 much of the success won for the cause she championed may be attributed to the dead leaders lovable personality. All civilized countries today know to their sorrow a different class of femi- nine leaders, strident voiced women who seem to consider their scorn of social amenities and social graces an evidence of mental and moral supe riorlty. Worthy causes have suffered from the championship of such women. But Miss Willard was not of their kind. She was womanly in the most gracious sense of the world.
 And it is because of this as we'll as because of her acknowledged greatness that hers is the first woman's statue to be placed in the hall dedicated to the great leaders of the nation. She com bined the best qualities of the old fashioned woman with the broader view and the wider sympathies of the type that is known as the new. De- voted to the cause of temperance, she never made herself obnoxious to those out of sympathy with it. On the con trary, she employed gentle methods that were becoming to her sex and this is the reason her influence for good was so strong while she lived, and it is also the reason why that influence has survived her.
 Tn honoring her the state of Illinois and the nation honor not a cause nor a type, but a great woman. If it had been left to the women of the land to name the one of their own sex most deserving of the honor of a statue in statuary hall, undoubtedly they would have voted for Frances E. Willard. For the toilers and the stay at home women of the great middle classe could understand and appreciate her. She did much to help them by teaching the nation a decenter standard of living She had no grievance to air. She did not claim to be superior" She did not consider herself misunderstood" Whole souled and we'll rounded, as well as immeasurabIy capable. she repre- sents American womanhood at its best The sex has been honored in the honor paid to her.

Progress In Sonora.

The Mexican method of fighting the Yaquis has revived the manufacture of bows and arrows in Sonora. Ac- cording to "El Porvenir" of Arizpe the governments prohibition against the traffic in firearms has left the peaceabIe residents of Sonora with out means of defending themselves against the Yaquis, and so a large factory for the manufacture of bows and arrows has been established at Tahuichopa. The Mexican paper an nounces that these weapons will be sold at extremely low prices, in order that citizens may defend themselves against 'the sword of Damocles which hangs over our heads
 It appears that the rigid rule against the importation of arms from the United States and against the sale of arms in Sonora, applies to everybody but the Yaquis. The rebels continue to smuggle arms across the border as always. To be sure, the situation in which the government finds itself is perplexing. If the inhabitants gener- ally of Sonora are permitted to import rifles, or buy them after they are i'm ported, the arms will eventually pass

put him in a pair of rubber boots, and let him do the irrigation work for a western farmer for a few days. By the time he has slumped over his heels in mud a few times he will realize that constant and dreary rains are not necessary to produce evidences of civ ilization, and that the western states and territories can give him mud and to spare if mud is all he desires. In the meantime Senator Deliver has made an inexcusable mistake. There was some excuse for Daniel Webster when he said the countdy west of the Missouri was a desert that would never be of value, but there is no eN- cuse for any man today manlfesting such ignorance of the greatest and most promising part of agricultural America--Denver Republican.

The Expected Verdict .

The international commission ap- pointed to investigate the killing of the British fishermen at Dogger Bank in the North sea by Russia's Baltic fleet, rendered its report yesterday and the verdict Is about what the world expected. Both Great Britian and Russia knew that an inexcusable blunder had been committed. within a few hours after the tragedy. But England did not wish to go to war over it, and her statesmen were will ing to have a settlement which would save Russia's face.
 The commission finds that there fleet and no reason for the Russian officers to believe there were. By some process of reasoning not explain ed in the dispatches, the conclusion is also reached that the affair is not dis creditable" to Admiral Rojestvensky and his officers. If Russia can get any comfort out of that verdict she ought to be welcome to it. Read between the lines it can only mean that when Russian officers are drunk too much must not be expected of them.
 The facts submitted by the commits sion will now form the basis of a dip lomatic adjustment between the two governments interested. Russia will pay an indemnity to the families of the dead fishermen, and that will be the end of it.

SENATOR DoLLIVER AND THE
 WEST.

Our compliments to Jonathan P. Deliver, the brilliant junior senator from Iowa who, in the course of a speech opposing joint statehood for the territories, gave expression to the be- lief that there can never be a general civilization without rain.
 q have observed said MT. Deliver, "that mud and civilization go to- gether."
 When Congressman Grosyenor said he was opposed to spending any gov ernment money for irrigation works because these works would not directly benefit his own constituents, and when Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania protested against the country press ing the poisoned chalice of irrigation to it's lips,'' it was thought that con- gross would never produce anything smaller than either of these two statesmen" But Senator Delivers declaration about mud being the hand maid of civilization caps any utterance of Grosvenor or Sibley on the irriga- tion question.
 If the junior senator from Iowa is sincere in his statement, the residents of the Hand of little rain" west of the Missouri river must be classed as set of half-civiliZed individuals who have no hope or attaining any degree of progress, simply because they have not the Iowa farmers blessed privil- ege of wallowing through thick. black mud eight months out of the year and being sIi1othered in dust the other four months. And according to MT. DOlH yer, the government must be all wrong in it's great system of irrigation works, which irrigation authorities unite in declaring will be the means of reclaim ing and making fertile a territory that will exceed ten Iowas in one.
 But the best cure for Senator Dolli- yer is to kidraap him, take him to the West about which he knows so little,

The Color Line and the Churches.

After two days of very warm debate, and by a majority of 25. the PhiIadel- phia Presbytery voted to support an overture to the general assembly permitting. but not requiring, the or ganization of separate Presbyteries in the same territory for persons of differ ent language or race. It is the adop- tion of the principle of separate Pres byteries for white and black Presbyter- fans.
 There Is pending the union of the northern Presbyterian and the Cum berlard Presbyterian church of the southwest and the possible union of the former with the southern Presby- terian church. Separate Presbyteries are sine qua non to the accomplish ment of the latter. and perhaps to that of the former. An additional reason is that in portions of the south there are Presbyteries connected with the northern church. but they are almost entirely negro. Within their territory 1t Is impossible to organize a white church in connection with the northern general assembly because it would have to be connected with a black Presbytery.
 The overture was stoutly resisted on the ground that it was drawing the color line in church. But is that true? {? Is it not merely a recognition of a col or line that exists and that it futile to pretend to ignore? The color line ex- ists in the separation of communicants into the white and black churches. The separate church being fact which no one would dream of seeking to disturb. why should the separate Presbytery be regarded as un-Christian and reaction ary?
 For forty years it has been diligently pretended in church and state that there was no color line, and the result
