LEARNING HISTORY.
Facts Taught BY the Lewis G Clark
Fair.

Chicago man recently wrote to an
Oregon paper that many Chieagoans have
conceived the idea that the Lewis and
Clark exposition, which is to open June
at Portland, Ore, is sort of Coney
Island show managed by the firm of
II .ewis & Clark" of which Senator Clark
of Montana is the Junior meEeoer Though
it was not so stated by the writer men,
toned it is probable that these Chicago
ans imagine the renowned j. Hamilton
Lewis, formerly congressman from the
state of Washington, to be the senior
member of the firm.
This truly is rich. Chicago ought to
know better than that Even the school
boys in this town are aware that Lewis
and Clark were two great American his
torical characters, dead and gone these
many years, who one hundred years ago
explored the great country lying west of
the Mississippi going up the Missouri
river from st. Louis to a point near is
headwaters, crossing the Rocky noun
tains overland and voyaging down the
Columbia river TO its mouth at the Pa
cific ocean. Our schoolboys know that
the success of this expedition, which was
sent out by President Thomas Jefferson
resulted in the acquisition Of 100000 square
miles of territory by the United States,
out of which three great states have been
carved, Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
not to mention considerable slices along
the western parts of Wyoming and Mon
tana
1t is not believed that ignorance as TO
the meaning and Importance Of the Lewis
and Clark Centennial exposition is very
widespread even in the east. where as a
rule matters of western history are not
considered of interest to the average 2ici-
zen But the Lewis and Clark expedition,
which is to be eommemorated at Portland
this year by a great international exposi-
ton. was of such Importance In tie
growth of our great nation that it would
seem that no one should neglect to study
It, Captain Meriwether Lewis and his
associate, Captain William Clark. were
the first American to make the journey
across the continent The country which,
largely by reason of their prior explora-
ton. was added to our domain gave the
United States its first coast line on the
Pacific and this acquisition led, more or
less directly. to the subsequent annexa-
ton of California. Alaska. Hawaii. Guam
and the Philippines.
But if the acquisition of the Oregon
country alone had been the ultimate re-
suit of this expedtion that fact furnishes
the people of the Pacific northwest with a
sufficient reason for celebrating the an
niversarv of the event and it give~ the
people of the rest OF the United States
ample reason to regard the coming expo
sition as a matter of national interest

Springfield, ILL.,, May AT the close of
a conference lasting nearly three hours
between Governor Deneen and commit
tee of Chicago business men, the prospect
of a military regiment being called into
service at Chicago seemed as far away
rs 1t did this morning, when 1t was prac-
tieally assured that only decided
change for the worse could bring about
such a condition. II was stated in the gov
ernor's office this morning laat Mayor
Dunno and Chief oNeill had both ac-
sured the Governor that they had the
situation well in hand and that no troops
We're needed, and that unless something
happened to change Governor Deneen's
opinion. there was little prospect Of his
calling them into service.
1t was believed by the employers that
the statements they made to Governor
Deneen this afternoon and evening would
ma terially change his opinion, but the
best the committee secured was promise
to investigate the situation. thoroughly.
Till then, it was explained the Governor
refused to commit himself.

ARCHBISHOPS MEET
IN WASHINGTON
Discuss the Care of Catholic
Immigrants
PETERS PENCE TALKED OF
David A. Mccabe Is Made Fellow In
Political Economy at the Catholic
niversity-CardinaI Glib
bons Presides.

Washington, May 4-The care Of Cath
oftc immigrants and the general welfare
of the church was the main question dis
cussed at the annual meeting of the
archbishops of the Catholic church. which
began here today Cardinal Gibbons pre-
sided. The present pontiff has earnestly
exhorted the prelates Of the United States
regarding the welfare Of the poor Catho-
lies of the Italian and Slav nationalities.
and renewed efforts In their behalf will
be made in every section of the country
where these immigrants are centered.
The question of the collection of Peters
pence was also talked about 1t is under
stood that the archbishops prefer the old
method rather than the innovation pro-
posed with Monsignor Er drick as the Of
ficer in charge of the fund 1t is said that
If the archbishops are reluctant to trans
NIT their fund through Mousignor Brod-
rick's hands instead of directly to the
Pope the formation Of the proposed new
office will be abandoned. The archbishops
of Chicago Milwaukee, Santa Fe, New
Mexico and Archbishop Chapelle were alb
sent from the meeting. Archbishop Glen
non of st. Louis was secretary of the
board. but at the conclusion of today
meeting he turned over the affairs of that
office to Archbishop Moepler, who sue
ceeds to the office.
During the day the archbishops held a
joint meeting with the trustees of the
Catholic university. No statement re-
gardng the financial condition of the
university will be made before June l. 1t
was announced more than $4,000 of the
institutions funds had been invested in
railroad bonds from April 1904 to April
1906. 1t was stated that of this amount
which is the nucleus of the new endow-
ment fund, $4,000 was collected by Car
dinal Gibbons, of which $4,000 was his own
gift and the remainder came from his
personal friends and relatives.
Today the appointment WAS announced
of David A. McCabe. Harvard, 1904, now
professor of agricultural and technical
science at the University of Dublin, as
Fellow in Political Economy Eventually
he will succeed DR.. Charles p. Neil, who
was recently appointed commissioner of
labor.
Michael jenkins of Baltimore has been
appointed treasurer of the university and
Charles b. Bonaparte of Baltimore takes
the place on the board made vacant by
the resignation of Thomas Waggaman,
the former treasurer.
An important feature of the meeting
today was discussion of the church to-
ward the colored people, the necessity of
organzat ton and efficiert work and the
term of centers where Christian faith
may be taught.

FIENDISH DEED OF ROBBERS.
Woman Tortured and Forced to Signal
for Husbands Death.

Mrs. Charles Berkshire of Brookville w
Va, was forced to give the signal at which
her husband, a wealthy farmer. was shot
dead before her eyes by masked robbers,
who applied burning matches to her feet
Posses are now searching the neighboring
mountains for the robbers, and if caught
they will surely be lynched.
Mrs. Berkshire. who is in a critical condi-
ton, says she and her husband retired at
the usual hour. Shortly after midnight she
was awakened by a noise in the room to
find three masked men bending over her.
She screamed, but was instantly bound and
gagged and tied to the bed One of the men
pointed a revolver at her husbands head
and threatened to blow his brains out IL he
moved a muscle.
One of the men covered Berkshire with a
revolver while the others searched the
house, but nothing of value was found.
They had no money in the house, and so
informed the masked men, who did not be-
lieve them and beat both Mr.. and Mrs.
Berkshire, their bodies showing the marks
of severe treatment. They protested that
they had no money in the house. When
they persisted In their declarations Berk-
shire was made to get out of bed and stand
in front of the fireplace, with strong light
shining in his face Mrs. Berkshire was
told to count ten, and the robbers said that
at the tenth count her husband would be
shot If he did not by that time tell where
his money was. Mrs. Berkshire refused at
first, and was beaten. Then burning
matches were applied to her flesh, and
driven almost mad by the pain, she was
forced to count. At the tenth count pistol
was fired and her husband fell dead before
her eyes with bullet in his forehead.
Fearing the noise would arouse the neigh
bors, the men hastily fastened Mrs. Berk-
shire in the bed and left her gagged, while
they escaped in the darkness.

The "Ronen in the oyster.

Alderman James A. Gaffney, with
Police Sergeant Charles A. Place, Will
liam Smith and James Moulton, went
to an oyster house in Third avenue,
near Eighteenth street, on Monday,
for dinner.
Mr.. Gaffney wanted chops, but the
others insisted that he order oysters.
At his third oyster the alderman took
from his lips hard object.
Bring me some oysters without
bones in them" he said, good natur-
edly, to August Glass, a waiter, giving
to him the bone" The Others becom-
ing curious, a jeweler, Henry Jansen,
was called into consultation and he
pronounced the hard object pearl
worth $500.
Mr.. Gaffney permitted Glass to keep
it and then all his party ate oysters
until they could eat no more. They
went back last night full of hope OF
pearls, but none developed.
