FIRST SESSION TODAY
IT'S WORK OUTLINED BY PRoMI-
NENT SPEAKERS.
Speeches by DR.. Wyman, Secretary
Root, Minister Quesada and Others
international Body.

The second international sanitary con-
>gress OF the American republics met today
at the New Willard and was addressed by
the Secretary of State and the acting secre-
fary of the treasury. Secretary Root was
an early arrival He knew good many of
the delegates personally, and held an in
formal reception. during which a number of
the foreign delegates were presented to him.
Gen. Wyman was the center of all things
and the axis on which the convention re-
volved. He managed everything personally,
from having chairs placed for the guests on
the platform 10 bringing in ice water for the
speakers.
DIR. Wyman welcomed the delegates brief
ly, saying that the United States had felt
the beneficial effects of the first meeting.
and he was sure that the same was true of
the other countries represented. He in
stanced particularly the work of cutting off
the threatened yellow fever epidemic which
had been feared in 1904
THE good results of the first conven-
tion," said DR.. Wyman, will, am conf
dent be made to appear in the reports and
of the delegates to this second
convention. / will here mention but one
instance in illustration. After the yellow
fever epidemic in Mexico and in Texas in
recurrence in both countries in the fol-
lowing summer and fall of 1904, and it be-
came evidently necessary that preventive
measures similar in character and thor
oughness should be adopted in both coun-
tries.

Inter-Oceanic Canals.

There will be mild contest between
Senator Willard and Senator kittridge for
interoceanc canals. 1t will be recalled that
Senator Kittridge was the right hand man
of the late Senator Hanna on this commit
tee and was chairman of the subcommittee
which did important work. Senator Willard
is now on the isthmus with Chairman
Shonts of the isthmian canal Commission
and is making a study of canal affairs.
There will be a vacancy in the chairman

the retirement of Senator McComas AS the
other majority members are otherwise pro-
vided for this craftsmanship will be open
for competition. There will be a vacancy
in the committee of geological survey
through the retirement of Senator Foster
which probably will be dealt with in the
same manner.
The retirement from the Senate of Sena-
tor Stewart of Nevada will leave a vacancy

The Census Committee.

The committee on census loses its chair
man in the retirement of Senator Quarles
1t also loses Senator Kearns and McComas
by retirement, while Senators Plat of New
York and McComber of North Dakota are
otherwise provided for, while Senator Bur-
ton of Kansas probably will not be an as
pirant for craftsmanship This will leave
the craftsmanship of census open for future
adjustment. If Senator Willard of Ne

EXTENSIVE CHANG ES
Senate Committees to Be Re-
organized.
SHIFTING OF NAMES
MR.. PROCTOR LIKELY TO HEAD
MILITARY AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Warren May Take Public Build
ings and Grounds-Mild Contest
Over Oceanic Canals.


An extensive organization of Senate COM
mittees will be necessary when the Fifty
ninth Congress assemblies. At the begin
ming of every new Congress the Senate
reorganizes its committees, but in this case
the new adjustment is to be more compre-
hensive than usual on account of the drop
ping out of a number of senators who held
important places AS is well known the
changes in the Senate committees are not
made by the presiding officer, as the case is
in the House, but are brought about by
senatorial agreement in a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose. Precedence, party
necessity and that vague yet potential ele-
ment known as senatorial courtesy de-
termine these selections.
This year-or rather next year, because
the changes will not be made until after the
holiday recess-there will be shifting of
number of committee chairmanships. These
places, some of them carrying patronage
of nature to be worth while to senators
and others, involving prestige in national
legislation, are eagerly sought for and
sometimes cause contests and heart burn
ingS among the aSpirants.

Military Affairs.

Taken in alphabetical order, the first COM
mittee, the committee on agriculture, will
have a new chairman. Senator Proctor is
chairman now, but owing to the death of
Senator Hawley of military affairs Senator
Proctor will prefer to go to the latter COM
mittee it is more important. Senator
Hansbrough is next in rank on the COM
mittee, but it is thought he would prefer to
remain chairman of public lands. This
brings Senator Warren next in order, but
-he wants to go to public buildings and
grounds, and it is thought that Senator
Dolliver of Iowa will take agriculture. Sem
ator Dolliver is now chairman of Pacific
railroads, but agriculture is more import
ant.
The promotion of Senator Warren to pub
lie buildings and grounds would leave va
cancy on the committee on claims and it is
thought that Senator John Kean of New
Jersey will take that Craftsmanship.

could be secured, with a good t,.r,oo-

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING ?

At blossom time, how can you hear
Blithe messengers with notes, high, clear.
From branch and bough proclaim His

Without thrill of glad delight
How can you know the gentle press
On cheek and brow Of winds caress,
And not within your bosom feel
An earnestness, new born zeal2

Gaze lovingly in eyes So true,
And not within their depths behold
The light that blends each hour with

we are certainly inferior to them y
acuteneSs. at all events we of the civil
lied races, although there seems to be
no reason why this sense should not be
cultivated and it's efficiency REINFORCED
by deliberate training.
This view is supported by the fact
that men born deaf and dumb and
blind have been known to develop their
latent powers of smell to a pitch of
perfection quite unintelligible to ord1-
nary mortals. We use spectacles to
assist the eyesight, ear-trumpets and
artificial ear-drums to correct deaf
ness; why should not science supply
us with some handy instrument that
would stimulate the potency of eff1u-
via? There are many ways in which
such In addition to our physical land
mentaD equipment might be useful,
for the nose has one cardinal advan-
tage over the eyes in that it is quite
Independent Of light.
There Is another reason for which it
might be worth our while to pay more
attention to this particular sense-for
Its mnemonic suggestiveness. The
faculty Of memory plays a rather
queer part in connection with that of
smelling, although around it our men
tai associations cluster most strongly.
For it is very doubtful whether any
body can actually call up, or 'repre-
sent a particular odor, though there
are cases of subjective Authorizations
of scent among the insane, and the rec
ords of the Society Of Psychical Re-
search quote instances of what we
might call the ghost" of q smell.

The Curfaw Bell

The story Of the curfew was but
the unsupported assertion of one histo.
r1an OF the sixteenth century, which
was repeated in prose and poetry till
1t was woven into the language. Like
many other legends, there is Just a
grain Of truth in it, but its suggested
origin Is false, the derivation of cur
few Is erroneous, and the scuttls
shaped instruments which supported
the theory were quite different articles
of household use.
Probably the word is derived not
from couVre feu, cover fire, but from
,carrefour, in old French spelling car
'fou' from the Latin for crossroads,
ana is the name of the morning and
evening bell, which originally sounded
from the crossroads or market places
both in France and England simply to
give the time Of day. 1t was and is
rung at 4 or g o'clock in the morning
and at 8 o'clock in the evening. One
inscription on an old bell runs thus:
