ALL TO BE INVITED.
Nations to Be Asked to the jamestown
Celebration

At the instance of Mr.. Henry st. George
Tucker of Virginia, president of the James
town exposition Of 1907, the Secretary of
State has arranged to send formal invita-
lions to all the principal governments of
the world to participate in the international
naval. marine and military demonstration
which is to be the principal feature of the
celebration in commemoration OF the first
permanent settlement of English-speaking
people on the American continent In May.
1907. In his proclamation on the subject
the President invites all the nations Of the
earth to take part In the commemoration
of an event which has had far-reachinR
effect upon the course OF human history by
sending their naval vessels to the said eel
ebratfon. and by making such representa-
tons OF their military organizations as may
be practicable"

OF other important topics. The knowledge
of dietetics Is, as yet. In its infancy, and
few OF our home-mothers know whether a
basin of broth, glass of milk or a mould
OF wine jelly contain the most nourishment
for the Individual case under her care.
Sir Henry Thompson, the well-known
English authority on dietetics, declares that
more than half the disease which en-
bitters the middle and latter half OF life
Is due to avoidable errors in diet" One
has only to visit a children's ward in any

this applies to the care OF our little ones
The regular tenement-house breakfast for
the whole family-not excepting the two
year-old baby-consists of strong coffee and
hot rolls.
1t Is impossible. in a short sketch to do
more than skim over the surface Of such
an extensive subject as dietetics When
II Is realized that the peoples of the world
are groaning under a burden OF suffering

be traced to indiscretions in the form OF
diet; overlooking the system with highly
! seasoned viands; starving IL with unnu-
tritious food; planting in 1t germs of dis
ease. which bear fruit a hundredfold: or
through ignorance. neglecting the kind OF
diet to create a wholesome body: we see
clearly demonstrated the true importance OF
the science of dietetics.

Cathedral Dedicated by Falconio.

With imposing and impressive ceremonies
prescribed by the Roman Catholic liturgy,
st. Peters Cathedral was dedicated yester-
day at Wilmington. Del. by his excellency
Diomede Falconio. apostolic delegate. Other
notable dignitaries who took part in the
services were Bishops Monaghan OF the
diocese of Wilmington, Prendergast of
Philadelphia, Kelley of Savannah and
Curtis of Cardinal Gibbons household in
Maryland Bishop Curtis was formerly
bishop Of the Wilmington diocese. About
fifty priests, like number OF seminarians,
chancel choir from the Saiesan Commu-
nifty and altar boys also participated In the
ceremonies.
Bishop Kelley in his sermon said the
dominating evil In the United States today,
he could say without fear of contradiction,
Is the absolute Indifference to religion.
This. he said. Will lead to lamentable re-
suits. The majority OF the people are MEM
bers OF no Christian church.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
FROM PRESIDENT
AMONG THOSE RECEIVED.

The little room at the navy yard where
the messages from President Roosevelt are
being received IL not an looking
place. considering that 1t Is q center OF so
much interest to the whole country Had
the President delayed his ocean trip little
while the messages by wireless from his
squadron OF cruisers might have been
caught In modest little brick house.
built especially for the wireless plant
down by the waters edge. But as the
case stands, the wireless outfit which has
done such excellent work, Is decided
makeshift installed on a table in one corner
of a cramped little room that looks almost
Like cross between q contractors ONCE
and a junk shop
But the plant works all right. Some of
the best results that have been obtained
since the Navy Department has been ex-
periment!ng with wireless have been on the
recent trip from New Orleans. One mes
sage caught within range OF 1900 and
LOO miles was almost record. The In
struments now In use are q combination Of
the Slaby arco system and an independent
invention OF the Navy Department. Owing
to the location of the plant, II does better
work on receiving than on sending. though
this Is unusual in a land station communi-
eating with ships
The gathering mast now in use Is a wire
strung between the two big stacks of the
new power plant, over 200 feet high. It
works very satisfactorily and will still be
used when the new station Is fitted up In
special building on the water front The
sending and receiving sets now in use are
not very MISUNDERSTANDING Instruments.
tfere are some old Western Union keys
and saunders, a coherer of the navys own
design worked with a platinum WIRE two
or three old switches for cutting the send
ing and receiver sets and the sparkling coil
hooded over at the top with a little mica
door, through which the blue, devil-danc-
Ing spark can be seen sizzling and sputter-
Ing while message Is on its way.
Tie instruments are worked by the en-
listed men, one of whom is always on duty
with a telephone receiver clamped over the
head. The messages come through the re-
ceiver. which can pick up signals that
would not move an ordinary sounder.
The plant at the yard has been estab-
lished since the spring of 1902. 1t was first
down In the old scale house In charge of
Lieut.. Hudgins, but after working with it
for a year the instruments were sent to
Annapolis, and there was a break Of al
most year In the work here. 1t was re-
sumed. still in temporary quarters. and
various sorts of instruments tried. But
now the little plant is to have house of
It's own. Such satisfactory results have
been attained so far that there Is every
reason to hope for even better things as
soon as the wireless outfit gets into its own
quarters. with new and better instruments.

THE MITCHELL CASE
BISHOPS HAVE NOT YET REACHED
ANY DECISION.
Considered the Question in Executive
Session This Forenoon and Took
Recess Without Vote.

Bishop Earl Cranston emerged from the
bishops council in Foundry NJ. K. Church.
where the board of bishops of the Methodist
! Episcopal denomination is still holding Its
semi-annual session, shortly after IL O'Clock
today and was Immediately besieged by the
curious persons waiting on the outside TO
| find out what was being done with the
Mitchell heresy case over which these off,
GERS of the church have been comforting with
more or less warmth for several days.
when are you going to take vote, bish-
OPP he was asked.
IT don't know" he said with smile. and
then. signing, slightly. he added. I'VE are
still in the agonies.'
This described the character of the ses-
sion Of the board this forenoon. 80 far as the
case of Prof. Hinkiey G. Mitchell OF Bos-
ton University was concerned. Discussion
of Prof. Mitchell's beliefs and Of constitu-
tional questions connected with the case and
bearing upon II occupied a great part of the
time and the vote Ii not yet in sight.
Shall we come back this afternoon for the
of one of the bishops after the adjournment
for luncheon at about 1890 pm. -
You may come" was the reply. but
don't think you will get It,
Bishops c. c. McCabe OF Philadelphia and
William F. Mcdowell of Chicago left the
room little before noon and did not return
before the adjournment.
Whats the news. bishop" was the ques-
ton fired at the former as he was leaving
the church.
Nothing" he replied wisely. Il left be-
cause 1 have had enough"
Bishop Burt Presides.
Bishop William Burt, superintendent of
the European field. presided this morning.
Several routine matters were taken up and
disposed of before the consideration of the
Mitchell case was resumed.
1t was decided to hold the next meeting
of the board. scheduled for May 2, 1906 at
Evanston, H.. where are located the North
west University and the Garret Biblical
| School, two Methodist Episcopal institu-
lions.
The committee which is preparing a re-
port on the assignments of the bishops
as presiding officers over the forty ODD
spring conferences of the church has not
yet finished its work and will probably not
| do today, although nothing definite can
| be stated in this regard.
Among the bishops the opinion Is ex-
pressed that the pay of the ministers or
| the Gospel has not increased lin proportion
| to the constantly increasing cost OF living.
Salaries paid the clergy" said Bishop J.
| F. Berry of Buffalo. ARE none too good at
best, and taking the country over, have re-
manned stationary for some time. or
course some: congregations keep pace with
the increasing demands upon the minister.
but speaking generally 1t is safe to say that
salaries have not advanced to meet exist
ing conditions. Living expenses have been
growing year after year. they will be higher
this year than last. and the church peo-
pie ought to meet this situation In the ma
terial way so necessary even for the men,
bers Of the clergy"

MUST LEAVE DESKS FOR LUNCH.
Practice Broken Up by Commissioner
Warner

Commissioner Warner has taken de-
cided stand against clerks having luncheon
served in their rooms in the pension office
There is a restaurant in the basement of
the building and 1t has been the practice
of many clerks to order luncheon from there
and have ii served in their rooms. This
practice came about through the ungentle-
manly conduct of some of the male clerks
In crowding the women. The women were
compelled to eat elsewhere or go hungry
away from the tables. The commissioner
has ordered that two tables be set. one re-
served for men and one for women, and
that In the future the clerks must eat in
the restaurant or outside the building. No
more meals are to be served In the rooms

PETERSBURG. Va, October 20. 1905
The 62 battle flags belonging to confed-
crate organizations from Virginia, which
were captured during the war between the
states by federal forces and which after
being stored in the War Department in
Washington for forty years, have been re-
turned to the state OF Virginia and are to
find temporary resting place in the Con-
federate museum, in the old JEFF Davis
mansion at Richmond. Since the flags have
been turned over to the Virginia authorities
they have been in the custody of the gov
ernor and have been we'll guarded Friday
last, as has been published, they were taken
to Petersburg and there, in the presence of
large audience, formally turned over to
the guardianship of the Virginia Camp of

and deposited In the museum. But six of
the old flags are mounted on STATS the re-

that 1t was the intention OF the grand camp
to have the flags put under glass for pres

not be returned to the representatives or
survivors Of the organizations from whom
they were captured. He also stated that
they would be deposited in the southern
Battle Abbey, when 1t is built. for keeping
for all time.
At the presentation ceremonies in the
Academy of Music Friday night several Of
the old veterans recognized among the few
displayed to public gaze the flags under
which they had fought until they were over
powered. and they shed tears as they rec
ogEized the old standards they had fol-

regimental flag in the confusion made while

thought no one saw him. 1t was touch

which they can be displayed and protected
