you'd be delighted, for they would point
to the failure of the conference as an evil
dence that the rulers did not want peace,
and that the great intelligent classes OF

look on Germany as responsible for the
failure. He went on to say that the Ger

position Count Munster seemed to be
somewhat impressed, but declared that the
calling of the conference was simply po-
litical trick. 1t was done, he said, to en-
barrass Germany, to glorify the young Rus

A very good idea can be had Monday OF
the way the new building will look when
completed. Practically the only parts OF
the exterior that are not done are the corr
ners, and as one walks on 18th street
the east and north fronts present striking
appearance.
The unfinished walls on the interior are
hung with immense American flags and
white bunting. The stage boxes are lined
with white, and the rear wall of the stage
is draped with two great flags, the blue
fields of which meet in the upper center and
form a striking effect. Palms. garlands
and wreaths of green are used In profusiou
about the stage and the front of the BALI
cony. The entrance hall AID stairways AID
also lined with white bunting to cover un
the bare brick walls. The building viii

A small army of laborers and artisans are
working at lightning speed to put the nearly
completed Continental Memorial Hall. on
18th street northwest, south of the Corco-
ran Gallery Of Art, In shape for the con-
gress Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, which opens there next Mon
day. A wooden roof has been hastily con-
structed. 1t not being possible to put In
Mace the permanent glass roof as was con-
templated in the expenditures for the ac-
commodation of the Continental Congress.
and the inferior and exterior of the walls
are still partially in the rough. Quantities
of bunting and green's are being used, how
ever. and the interior Is taking on the ap-
pearance of a temporary political conven-
ton hall. The beautiful marble front OF
the building is practically complete and the
stone is being washed until 1t shines.
The Daughters have already begun to
reach the city, and by tomorrow large
percentage of the members of the con-
eress will doubtless be in town. Among
those who have come are Mrs. Robert e.
Park. state regent OF Georgia and chairman
of congress pages. who is stopping at the
Ebbitt House, and Mrs. Delafield and q

Among other arrivals are Mrs. Lucy

How to Cure Insomnia.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Lying awake is often habit. It is worth
almost any effort to break up such a habit
Insomnia is usually the result of one NJ
three things-poor circulation Indigestion or
mental distress. The person who studies
himself carefully Will be able TO locate the
difficulty and treat himself accordingly.
For poor circulation try warm baths. warm
water bottles, brisk rubbing soakins. the
feet and deep breathing.
For indigestion take a warm drink before
retiring or when sleepless. Drink warm
water, warm milk, weak tea or cocoa and
breathe deeply. For mental distress mere
will power is the best. Close the eyes. and

history of the turf in the United States.
For, in tracing the development OF the
American thoroughbred, Mr.. Trevathan
tells number of stories that disclose I'M
portant phases of our national life and
traces certain sociological changes which go
far beyond the limits of the race track.
His account deals exclusively with the rum
ming horse and has nothing to do with the
trotter. He gives the reasons why horse
racing and breeding first began in the
southern colonies. 1t was a question of
temperament. The more alstere settlers of
the north had little sympathy with the
sport, while their southern neighbors, who
came from different English source, were
by heredity its devoted patrons. In time,
however, the north developed some of the
greatest thoroughbreds although the blood
of southern-bred horses flowed in their
veins. In most of the great matches be-
tween north and south-Eclipse VS.. Sir

LANGBARROW HALL. BY Theodore
Wilson Wilson. New York: D. APP
pleton q Co.
There are several reasons why this book
will not appeal to the majority of American
readers, chief among which is that it is too
detailed a study of a group of personalities
quite beyond western comprehension. The
intriguing of the ambitious wife of one
brother for the honor of being Lady of
Langbarrow Hall, the wasted property of
another brother, is something that does not
find a counterpart in the American social
life. But the book is nevertheless interest
ing psychologically, although depressing as
a romance 1t deals with hatred and re-
venge, with selfishness and prodigality,
with Impotence and distress. 1t leaves the
situation hopeless for the characters who
have won the sincerest sympathy 1t
teaches nothing wholesome or valuable that
has not been better taught before.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ANDREW
DICKSON WHITE. New York: The
Century Co.

There have been autobiographies of men
who have achieved much. but who i'll re-
corded their own deeds. There have been
personal narratives of those who wrote bet
ter than they performed. it is rare that
the man of action and the man of letters
is found SO perfectly combined as in the
subject of DR.. Whites "reminiscences. DR..
White has not only played an important
part in the history of the country as
leader in education, diplomacy and state
craft. but he has described the men and
measures with which he has been asso-
ciated in manner that sets high stand
ard for all subsequent personal history
narration. His lectures before the stu
dents at Cornell University were char
acterized especially by their stimulating
quality and his biography possesses that

The way of the north" was hard and
tragic, the way of tragedy and pathos, Of
suffering and sorrow. Mr.. Cheneys dra-
matte story relates to the days of Russian
ownership and occupation of Alaska, when
Baranof was in command at Sitka and the
Russian government sent out colonists. A
shipload of them is discovered in the first
chapter, struggling against adverse winds
and in imminent peril. A physician and his
daughter are in the hold with the other
emigrants, far removed from the peasants
in point of education and refinement. The
peasants suspect them of heresy and at
tribute to them the responsibility for the
storm. The physician Is killed In brawl
and out of this tragedy grows romance
in which the story-teller figures. At Sitka
there are troubles between colonies to be
solved, and the figure of Baranof appears
and reappears, his passionate nature
strangely contrasting with his admirable
executive qualities and finally causing the
catastrophe which clears the way to happi-
ness for two hearts. 1t Is a thrilling tale
Of love and adventure, with deep under
lying motive which will appeal to the
thoughtful reader while the narrative itself
develops theme heretofore untouched by
American novelists.

How Far Does the Conductor Walkp

From the Charlotte IN. O. Chronicle.
The papers are always springing some
thing new. The How old is Ann?" prob
lem was meant for the public at large. The
newest is for railroad men exclusively. 1t
is this: "a train one mile long starts
from the station at Gladly. The engine
leaves the station and the conductor waits
until the caboose comes when he jumps on

the caboose and walks forward over the
train. When the engine reaches the next
station, OXley. four miles distant from
Gladly, the conductor steps off the engine.
How far does the conductor ride and how
far does he walk" This problem originated
in West Virginia, and the train hands there
are so absorbed in their efforts to work it
out that train service is in danger Of be.

Polluted Water.

From the New York Times.
Tests which have been made by the for
est, fish and game commission have DEM
onstrated that shad and herring now make
Catskill on the Hudson the furthest point
north on that river which they visit. Years
ago they were wont to run up far as
Albany and Troy. The explanation of their
change of habit is said to be the discharge
of the gas plants into the upper Hudson.
And yet the water which the fish have de-
serted is said by those who oppose the
opening to New York city of sources of
water supply in Ulster county to be good
enough for the people of New York TO drink.
