WANT SPELLING
 OF WORDS CHANGED
CHICAGO GETS NEXT MEETING OF THE SUPERINTENOENTS OF CHOOLS-TWELVE WORDS TO BE SPELLED PHoNETICALLY.

Louisville, February 2S.-The assertion today in the convention of the depart ment of superintendenee of the National Educational association by two or three delegates in nominating Chicago as the next meeting place of the superintend- ents that Chicago was the only city in the country where We nave ever been treated according to our liking" was evil dently effective, despite expressions of disapproval from many delegates against the claims of other contestants, the dele gates voting at the afternoon session to hold the next annual meeting in Chicago. Two hundred and eleven votes were recorded in favor of Chicago to 103 for St. Paul and S9 for Hot Springs, Ark. The date for the convention will be an- nounced later. The following officers were elected:
 President w. W. stetson, state superin- tendent of schools. Augusta, Me.
 First vice president, H. II. Serley, pres ident Iowa State Normal school, Cedar Falls. la; second vice president, R. J. Tlghe, Asheville, N. C.; secretary, J. II. Harris, superintendent of schools, Pontiac, Mich
 There were four round table sessions during the day, the most interesting per haps being that at which was discussed the subject of reformed spelling. Upon motion of Dr. D. Benjamin Andrews of the University of Nebraska, resolution was adopted recommending that the de- partment of superntendence overture the National Educational association to order that the twelve phonetic words be used hereafter in all it's publications instead of the larger forms and
 That the departments be recommended to urge that superintendents and teach CTS hereafter in appralsing words pupils written work shall give credit for those words spelled after the style of the Ma tlonal Educational association"
 The reforms contained in the resolution, if adopted by the National Educational association will effect the spelling of twelve words in all schools of the Uni ted States. Following are the changes recommended: Bisness for business; enuf for enough; fether for feather; mesure for measure; plesure for pleasure; reed for read; ruff for rough; trauf for trough; thru for through; tuf for tough; tung for tongue; yung for young.

SECRETARY SHAW'S PLAN
 FOR BIG JAMESTOWN SHOW

Washington. February 2S.-secretary Shaw of the treasury department ap- peared today before the house committee on industrial arts and expositions to dis cuss the Maynard bill providing appro- priations for the Jamestown tercentennial exposition. He expressed his emphatic disapproval of the provision of the bill for the coinage of 1,O000OO two dollar sil- yer pieces upon which the exposition com pany desires to realize $SO00OO profit or the cost of the siegnoreage. He said this means of raising money is deception that it would be the sowing of dragons teeth. He said we have enough different kinds of money and should have no new coins.
 'If fiat can be sent out in silver and called profit, a greater piece of fiat can be sent out in paper money,' said Secre- tary Shaw. "The principal Is the same. 1t is wrong
 When asked if he could suggest some substitute for the two dollar plan to raise funds, Secretary Shaw said he know of no way but by direct appropriation.

Comanche's Only Holiday.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The only holiday the Comanches have ever learned to celebrate is the Fourth of July. They were taught this thirty years ago by the soldiers at Fort Sill who came out on their reservation on the day of American independence and ran horse races with the Indians and indulged In other holiday sports The Indians learned the significance of the celebration. and every year make prep aration for appropriate exercises An other fact Is noticeable fin the progress being made by the Comanches, and that Is they spend less money foolishly than heretofore. When Lawton was new and every fancy article on display in its show windows was novel to the red man. then he purchased without regard to ne- cesslty or comfort, but just to obtain something that was attractive to his eye. Indians now are buying more meat and bread and clothes and less fancy things and liquor. They fight less. stay at home more and seem to be well on the road toward a much higher plane of citizenship.

Since the exposition officials have in vited foreign participation, he said, it is unquestionably inevitable that they shall care for visitors. "But it is usually GUS tomary to inquire the price of terrapin before inviting dinner guests the Sec retary remarked.
 Secretary Shaw advised that the expo- sition should be distinctly different from other expostions and he suggested that marine features should be emphasized and no attempt made to rival previous exhib- it's of industrial arts
 In the opinion of Secretary Shaw the exposition company cannot expect more from the government than enough money to provide attractive, extensive docking facilities and favorable opportunity for all visitors to see the naval display. He said he does not think Congress will ap- propriate money for more than this, and that attempts to force more extensive plans on Congress might result in failure. The. Secretary said the country cannot afford to have the exposition fail be- cause the participation of foreign navies will make the affair more international in character than any previous affair.

DO YOU KNOW

That Dr. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription IS the only medicine sold through druggists for woman's weaknesses and peculiar all. ments that does not contain large quanti- ties of alcohol? Itis also the only medicine, especially prepared for the cure of the delicate diseases peculiar to women, the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidence, by print ing upon each bottle wrapper all the ingre. dients entering into the medicine. Ask your druggist If this is not true.

 ON BRITIaH NAVY
Estimates for Next Year Are $12,5oo, 900 Less Than Contemplated for
 Expenditure This Year.

London. March 1.-The British naval es- inmates for 19O6-07 proposed a net total ex- penditure of Sl59347, 800, being S12,5O0.OOO less than the estimate for the present fiscal year. The new government having little time in which to frame a new naval budget has practically adopted it's predecessors estimate, thus continuing the policy of economy already initiated and considered justified by the altered cir cumstances resulting from the Russo Japanese war.
 In view of the destruction of the Rus sian sea power the Anglo-Japanese alli- ance. and the Anglo French entente the government considers it possible without detracting from efficiency to call halt In the constantly increasing naval ex- penditures The government gives no de- tails of the programme, but it is under stood the projected four armored vessels for the coming year will be largely bat tleships. presumably of the Dreadnaught class.

seat in the house should not have been filled. Birmingham theatregoers like mus teal comedy when it is good and that offered by Richard carle is the best. While the crowd last night was of fair proportions, 1t was far from being so large as this clever comedian and his company deserved. People who failed to see "The Mayor of Tokio," missed one of the seasons best offerings.
 Richard Carle is a droll fellow and writes all his musical pieces. His comedy is quiet but is intensely amusing and his wit is of the keenest. MT. Carle does not have to indulge in old jokes he writes new ones, fresh and original, to each one of which a hearty laugh is appended His music is equally good as his comedy, so that nothing more is to be desired in either. He kept the house laughing all the time last night frequently indulging in good-natured quips at the expense of the small audience. MT. Carle's specialties were all extremely clever. "A Comic Opera Capsule" pre- sented by MT. Carle and Miss Adele Rowland was one of the brightest fea- lures or d bl uiiuSudl iItiit. "Cheer Up. Everybody was another song number in which MT, Carle and his pea nut ballet shone. q Like You as ren- dered by MT. Carle. was capital and prettily staged with an appropriate set ting of girls.
 The company was conspicuous for tal- ent and beauty among the women. It is seldom that one sees so many pretty girls on the stage at one time. Every type of beauty was represented and 1t is no ex- aggeration to say that a number of the girls were exceptionally pretty. This was especially so of the peanut" ballet, all though pulcritude was no missing quan- tity in any department Fred Frear, who is remembered for his funny ways in "The Sultan of Sulu'' was excellent as Row Tow, the Mayor of Tokio while William Rock, as Rusty, contributed his share to the evenings entertainment. Adele Rowland, as Betsy Lincoln, sang well and exhibited unusual graces of man. ner that made her a favorite. Ada Nit chell as Oloto San, was acceptable, and Emma Janvier. as the wardrobe mistress, gave a character interpretation that was excellent Minerva Courtney was petite as the soubrette.
 The musical numbers were without ex- ception tuneful and pleasing everybody was whistling q Like You" when the curtain went down at the close of the last act. It is a catchy song and will be- come popular here among music-lovers.
 The costuming and scenic effects of 'The Mayor of Tokio" were attractive and in good taste. The piece was prettily mounted throughout. Several stage nev-

NASHVILLE GREETS
 MANY THOUSANDS
DELEGATES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE ATTENDING SES- SONS OF THE STUDENTS VOL UNTEER MOVEMENT.

Nashville, February 2S.-From every state and territory of the Union, from the various provinces of the Dominion of Canada, and from the missionary fields of Christian labor throughout the world, representatives to the number of nearly five thousand gathered in Nashville this evening. They assembled in the railroad main auditorium for the opening session of the fifth international convention of the student volunteer movement, and the opinion is expressed that 1t marked the beginning of what will go into history as the greatest missionary conference held in the life of Protestant church. There was probably not a section of continent of the earth where the flag of the Naza- rene has been set up that was not repre- sented in the personnel of this wonder ful convention. Men predominate, but there are many women delegates in at tendance. The convention was opened without preiminaries. After prayer and a hymn. John R. Mott, chairman of the executive committee delivered a brief ad dress outlining the work, it's purposes and possibilities. He was followed by Robert E. Speer, secretary of the board of for- egn missions of the Presbyterian church, after which adjournment to 8 o'clock was taken.
 So great was the crush of attendance at the night session that two overflow meetings were held-at the First Presby terian and the Vine Street Christian churches. At the auditorium Prof. Charles Erdman of Princeton Theological Seminary opened proceedings by reading the sixty-seventh Psalm. The speakers were Dr. George Robson of Edinburgh, Scotland, editor of the United Free Church. and ]. Campbell White of Can ada secretary of the forward movement of the Presbyterian church. Dr. Robson's subject was the "Presentation of Christ to All Mankind the Supreme Business of the Church."
 MT. White spoke on the Ownership and Lordship of Christ"
 Tomorrow's sessions begin at 9:45 a. m.
