The woman who does not thus look
Onward aud thus rejoice must be lack
ing both mentally and morally.
The good woman brings her boy I'D
TO aim al Independence in manhood; and
If in the long view that independence
seems likely to come more quickly or
more richly in some distant place than
near his home, she speeds him on his
way.
She wants him to set up a home for
himself. She does not want him to live
and die an old bachelor. a superfuity
of bachelors is II of the greatest
plaques with which a community can be
cursed.
She knows that she viii have TO over
look faults, and that she cannot expect
the new daughter-in-law to fall in love
with her, just because she is the mother
Of that daughters husband. She knows
that every relation in life has its own
peculiar trials and joys, and that some
preparation of mind and spirit should
be made in order that that relation may
he properly maintained.
Yet how many women take this long
view of life, and try to fit themselves.

from the funny papers, we should

Exchange Editor of the Times Wa.
Probably Killed by a Negro Bell
Bow.

New York, November 1.-Further
light on the recent mysterious murder
of Jacob H. Thompson, exchange edi-
tor of the New York Times, was OBJ
tanned by the police today. When
Mamie Gibson, the negress who knew
the cOlored bell boy h4chard Hannibal
who died last night while under snspi-
cion of committing the murder, was ar
raigned in court today, she said that
Hannibal told her that if she vas ever
questioned about the murder she must
say that Hannibal spent the night of
Thompson's death at her house. He
was not there hat night, the girl testi-
fed. She said that the bell boy told
her that he did not murder Thompson,
but that he ought to have been MUIR
dered because of the small tips he gave.
The colored girl was arraigned in con
nection with Hannibal's death, as the
bell boy was found with his throat cut
after he had quarrelled with her and
wounded her recently.

DRIVE TO WHITE HOUSE.

~
The President was driven at once to
the White House. He took a hasty
lun cheon and appeared at the odIce
shortly before 2 o'clock, where SecGe-
tary Loeb had arrived q few minutes
before. Although yesterday was The
regular cabinet meeting day, no sessI.n
was called.
Secretary Hitchcock was the Presi-
dents first caller. He arrived at the
office shortly after the President, ana
later Postmaster General Corteiyou
came, followed by Secretary Root.
The important changes in the Rus
sian government naturally attracted
the attention Of the President and the
members Of his cabinet, particularly
Secretary Root. Private information
was in the possession of the President
before he left New Orleans, that i'm
portant changes were imminent in the
form of government at st. Petersburg
and the situation, as it developed yes
terday, was consequently not a sur
prise to him.
No statement was given Out at the
White House concerning the situation
in Russia, although it is understood
that the developments are viewed with
the utmost satisfaction from an Amer
lean standpoint. 1t was announced
thta no communications had been ex-
changed between the two governments
regarding the matter, as the exigencias
of the circumstances called for 10th
ing of that nature.-Washington Post.

If Publicity is Necessary

Much attention is being given to
the secrecy order of President Roose-
welt. Discussing it, the Boston Tray
er says that the members of the cab
met whom the president has made
should approve his secrecy order is
but natural. And if such positive
characters as Secretary Root and
Secretary Bonaparte choose to submit
tamely to the indignity Of being muz-
Zled, that is their affair. But the pub
lie at large has or at any rate should
have a word to say regarding this
matter.
The time has long past, if it ever
existed in this country, when any pnb-
lie official who owes his office to the
suffrage of the people, can arrogate
to himself the pdivilige of keeping
the people in i%gnorence Of any act or
project of his in which their interests
are directly or indirectly involved. If
democracy is not a farce, they have a
right to know what their representa-
uves, executive as well az legislative,
are about, and so long as a dictator
ship has not been set up with their
formal approval they will not waive
that right.
IF publicity is necessary to keep
the railroad and insurance and other
corporation magnates on their good be-
havior, the chances are that it will
prove an equally salutary restraint on
the managers of the great enterprises
undertaken by the state. If the pub
lie has the right to hold to a constant
strict account of their stewardship
the private citizens whose business
bears a more or less intimate relation
to the common veal, it has an eve
stronger right to hold to a similar &C
count the administrators Of its own
business which is the common veal
itself. In demanding publicity for
others and claiming secrecy for him.
self, the president has committed the
most undemocratic act of which it is
possible to conceive in connection
with the uncrowned head of a free
people"

THE S. P. BID is ACCEPTED.
General Passenger Agents Will Visit
at Houston and Galveston on Their
TriptO Mexico lity.

Word has been received that the
general passenger agents meeting is
to be held at Mexico City in October,
as previously planned. For some
weeks there has been much CORES
pondence on the subject, motion
having been made that the meeting be
held elsewhere, owing to the geOgraph-
zeal remOteness of the ancient Mexican
capital. The sights to be seen in the
old city and the assurance of the won
derfully interesting trip to and from it,
won ma 0rity OF the general paSsen-
ger agents, and it has been decided
that the meeting shall be held there, as
originally planned,
In this connection it will be of inter-
est to South Texas to learn that ma
jority of the general passenger agents
have accepted invitations of the South
ern Pacific passenger department to be
its guest and to visit Houston and
Galveston on the down trip.
General Passenger Agent Anderson
has for the last month been agitating
high passenger circles throughout the
country with billet douX to the pas
senger chiefs. asking them to travel
the Sunset Route as his guests and to
stop off in Houston a day and take a
side trip to Galveston.
An acceptance from one of the BIG
passenger men of the coultry was re-
ceived today. 1t is from the hand of
George H. Daniels, general passenger
agent of the New York Central and
Hudson River railway. He is the
guiding spirit Of the passenger end of
the four track system.

the ennings field. According to plans
the new hole will be put down in the
neighborhood of the company's earth

The Cane Crop.

During the past fortnight, climatic
conditions in the sugar country were
highly propitious to rapid develop
ment of the cane crop, and the growth
during August shows all the progress
that could have been hoped for. In
fact, the crop may be said to have
now attained such size, generally
speaking, as to leave no doubt that
the backward condition noted in the
spring and early summer will have all
been effaced before it comes time for
harvesting.

PEACE ENJOYS REACH AGREEMENT
President Roosevelt Surprised and
Russian Enjoys Were Much
Excited.
Did Not Expect that an Agreement
Would be Reached so Soon.

Portsmouth, N. H., August 29'-The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms OF
peace were settled by NJ. Witte and
Baron Komura at the session OF the
conference this morning, and this af-
ternoon preliminary arrangements for
an armistice were concluded, and the
actual work of framing the treaty of
Portsmouth" was by mutual agree
ment turned over to Mr.. De Martens,
Russia,s great International lawyer,
and Mr.. Dennison, who for twenty-five
years has acted as the legal adviser
of the japanese foreign office.
The treaty is expected to be COM
pleted by the end of the week.
This happy conclusion of the confer
ence, which week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic efforts of President Roose-
welt, was sudden and dramatic,
For the sake of peace, Japan with
the magnanimity of a victor at the
last moment, yielded everything still
at issue.
Russia refused to bulge from the
ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had CIV
en- to President Roosevelt through
ambassador Meyer. No indemnity
under any guise, but an agreement to
divide Sakhalin and reimburse Japan
for the maintenance of the Russian
prisoners were his last words. They
had been repeatedly reiterated in the
form of written reply to the japanese
compromise of last Wednesday, they
were delivered to Baron komura this
morning.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Japs Concluded Peace for Humaaity'S
Sake
morning,


Sake.
Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 29.-The
following statement was issued by Mr..
Sato on behalf of the japanese peni-
potentaries:
"The question of the final DISPOSE
ton of Sakhalin and the reimburs-
ment to Japan of her war expenses,
have from the first been issued on
which an absolute yergancy of views
existed. The difference of opinion up
on these points, not one, but both,
have frequently threatened the exist
ence of the conference. But his maj
esty. the emperor of Japan, respond
ing to the dictates of humanity and
civilization, has in spirit of perfect
Cancellation and in the interest of
peace, authorized his penipotentaries
to waive the question of reimburse
ment of war expenses, and has con-
cented to a division of Sahkalin upon
terms which are mutually acceptable,
thus making it possible to bring the
important work of the conference to a
successful issue"
This official action of this after
moons session was given by Mr.. Sato
on his arrival at the hotel. 1t is as
follows:
SIN the afternoon session of August
20, the conference discussed the de-
tails of the treaty of peace. 1t was
decided to intrust the drafting of the
clauses to Privy Councillor De Mar
tens and Mr.. Dennison, legal adviser
of the foreign office of Japan, with in
structions to finish the work as soon
as possible"
