Army quartermasters have adopted the new type of gymnasium shoe, after considerable comparison of samples at West Point, where the shoes have been tested in a practical way. A contract will be placed by the army quartermas- 5ters for five thousand shoes, bids for which will be opened shortly at New York and other places where there are aquartermaster depots. The advertising is more extensive than usual on this material, for the reason that it is desir- ed to obtain as much competition as possible. It is planned to sell these shoes to the enlisted men of the army at contract price, after the manner in
 which the sweater is sold to them.

Efforts are being made in Germany to secure the release of the Swedish au- thoress, Laura Marholm, who was plac- ed in Bavarian lunatic asylum four months ago, because she 1abored under the morbid delusion that certain ex- alted persons in Germany were perse- cutting her for political reasons, which led her to make verbal and epistolary threats, by which those persons felt themselves endangered. It is said that the government has agreed to liberate her on the condition that her husband, Ole Hanson, will promise to take her away from Bavaria.

United States Steel preferred, Union Pa

able examples. The resumption Of the
aggressive advance in Union Pacific had
as much to do rs anything with the de-

condition was generally attributed to the
great strength of the general situation, in
which renewed confidence is caused by
the extra Ordinary conditions in the iron

ties for March. Thus Readings strik-

rumors that the stock is to be put on Il

Speaking to candid and Intelligent
members of the Congregational church
at Brunswick, Maine, last Sunday.
Rev. Herbert A. Jump went at some
length into the discussion as TO now
far the earnings of John d. Rockefeller
were pure and free from faint. ON the
whole he was inclined to think that the
Rockefeller wealth was not so badlE
contaminated as to be unit for use
among the missionaries. And herein
was Mr.. Jump right. When Sampson
found honey in the carcass of dead
lion he thought the event novel enough
to make a riddle about it. Rich ana
palatable vegetables are grown upon
the putrid porgie chum. from which the
oil has been extracted. Beautiful and
iiealthful tomatoes find SuStenance
from the foulest of barnyard dressing.
Guano from Chile. which smells rank
TO heaven, causes wate"mcionS to grow
big and sweet and juicy. The board of
foreign missions did right enough to
accept the gift, but this does not in any
way purify the giver. Though the noX-
ious clements have been transformed
i'm the plant alembic to make tomatoes
and watermelOns. the fertilizer is still
impure and a bane to humanity.

PRINCE SVIATOPOLK-M IRSKY
Will Return to Public Life As Pres. OF
Rescripr Commission.

st. Petersburg, April 19.-The report
that Former Minister of the Interior
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky will return
to public life as president OF the re-
SCRIPT commission, although not OH
cially confirmed. creates much salts
faction because his sympathy with the
principle of popular representation is
we'll known.
Numerous stories are being printed
abroad giving details of the character,
composition and date of convocatlon
of the coming parliament.
The Associated Press can state that
they are premature.
Countless plans have been submitted,
the favorite one being Parliament
made Up from two sources-an upper
house of 100 members, half of them to
be nominated by the Emperor and half
to be elected by the nobility, and a
lower house of CPS members, elected by
various classes in all parts of Russia,
including the non-Russian provinces.
Eut the commission has not decided
even in principle, the nature or COM
position of the Parliament body. 1t is
the delay which has restroyed popular
confidence in the sincerity of the gov
eminent and which led the attorneys
congress to under take an active. unit
er propa Sanda by all the liberal pro-
fessions in behalf of conStitutionalism.
The press has won a very consider
able victory in the decision of the press
commission to remove the censorship
from foreign press kilograms. The
regulation. however, will not go into
effect until the revision of the press
laws is complete.
