Andrews, who de- livered an excellent talk on Some Geo. graphical Considerations" He said in part:
 q found myself set down as an ora- tor. feel that l would be greatly ham, dicapped If did not at the outset dis , pei this idea.
 T have taken as my subject Some Geographical Considerations I want to speak to you about the south, not the south alone but the south as a component part of united country.
 T believe that never before in the history of the nation have we needed the background of Puritanism and New England purity and conscience as we do to-day.
 New England has come nearer to being the keeper of the conscience of the nation than any other section, and 1 say We wish to keep this.
 But it is a poor p9triot that has to | look to his own section. his own coun- try, for all that is eccG and true, and to others for all that is bad. If the | spirit of New England is needed in the nation to-day, so is that spirit of the green fields and babbling brooks of the south needed also.
 q would not have the country all north nor all south, It should be an harmonious blending of the two as our flag is a blending deriving it's beauty from its trinity of colors."
 Three cheers for the speakers and the president were heartily responded to. Before the speaking commenced a large and beautiful floral piece was pre- scented to President Thompson by the Foot Guards, who were the guests of the Union League club at last evening S festivities,

TALES ATHLETIC FUND.
Walter Camp Asks for a Committee to
 Guide Its Expenditure.

Walter Camp, adviser in athletics at Yale university, sent a letter last night to the college daily in which he sets forth the condition of the athletic unions finances and the surplus now available. MT. Camp also suggests the selection of a committee to take charge Of distributing the fund according to the needs of the several organizations Tn the athletic union. He says in part:
 The time has come when in view of arrangements for a new boat house the disposition of the moneys which the efforts and loyalty of successive managers mas enabled the treasurer to lay aside year by year in varying sums toward the fund to meet depreciation of plant and unusual emergencies is matter of public interest as well as a question of serious consideration. If rowing is to continue, Yale's old boat house must be replaced This will cost from $S000 to $4O,000. If football is to be played a provision must soon be made to rebuild the old stands which even in their present simple form will cost $61000. A baseball cage compar- able to those used by other organiza- tions and an entension of field room should also be considered.
 MT. Camp reviews the processes of economy and wise management by which managers of the several associa- tions have added to the fund together with judicious investment of the same. He announces that the fund has grown to the sum of S96 6S26,50. After outlin- ing the Improvements that are needed Mir Camp brings the discussion to a head as follows:
 Tn what order shall these improve ments be taken up? What Is a fair adjustment of the various interests? What balance shall still be held as m emergency fund? The treasurer feels

THE TENDERNESS or WOMAN.


 "Yes," the portly woman was say ing to her friend, as they stood on the elevated station platform. q simply had to take the little dears out of the city. I saw that they were actually suffering for want of fresh air. The Jagged sidewalks were so hard on their little feet! They had no grass to romp on, they could not get the proper exercise, and they lost their appetites and grew so thin and wan. Besides, did not like their associates, they were so common and dirty. Of course, it means giving up great deal for me, the added expense of commu- tation and the spending of two hours day on a day train by my husband, whereas he used to get home in 15 minutes by the subway expresses. But have been more than repaid. The little darlings have grown so fat and healthy, don't dare give them all they want to eat. They have com panions as nice as themselves, plenty of fresh air and all the room they want to play in, Oh, it's just glori- ous!"

South Africa-Hester Trent-once a waif of London. seeing a woman who is on her way to England struck by a shell splinter and supposedly killed, as- sumes the dead woman's cloak and ere dentials and continues the journey. In London, although conscience-stricken she plays her then unwilling part so well with Lady Clavering that she wins the hearts of the Clavering family, male and female. In the meantime the South African Woman-Ruth Wilding-who was not killed, recovers from brain injury and appears in London. She Is considered mad, and her announcements of Helen Trent are taken as rawlings until Helen herself reveals the decep- tion. The situation is further compli- cated and involved by the fact that Hester Trent ran away from London with a young officer who happened to be a friend of the Claverings. Miss Anglin played the part of the circum- stance beaten Hester Trent and made a deep impression on the audience, which followed her with intense inter est. In the supreme emotional effort in the third act, when Hester and Ruth Wilding meet in the Clavering drawing room, Miss Anglin was greatly handi- capped by bad cold, which forced her voice into high and rather thin key. Nevertheless, when she had fin- ished her passionate defiance to the woman who would rob her of every thing in life worth the having, the au- dience interrupted with a burst of the heartiest applause.
 In the quieter moments of the play Miss Anglin was sweet and dainty, and convinced everyone that there was no real bad in Helen Trent, or Zira, as the | Claverings renamed her.
 The best bit of individual acting out side of Miss Anglins was that of Jame- son Finney as Captain Arnold sylves- ter, the reckless soldier who was trying hard to stop drinking for the sake of Zira.

 On Sunday the vice consul and the cable director accompanied M. Taigny 70 lAe wharf, but did not persist in going on boald the Martinique with him. The Venezuelans, however. it was noticed, went on board the vessel and returned without being in any way him dered
 While conversing with the captain of the Martinique policeman ordered M. Taigny to leave the vessel, but he re- fused to do so. While breakfasting an order came to the captain of the vessel to put out twenty metres from the shore, which was done, and nobody was allowed to leave the ship.
 M. Taigny asked permission of the customs officer to go ashore with him, but this was denied, and when he in- sisted on going ashore force was used to prevent him.
 At o'clock M. Taigny was officially notified that if he went ashore he would be imprisoned.
 Sunday evening passed with Ven- ezuelan guard watching for any move ment M. Taigny might make.
 Meanwhile the French vice-consul went to Caracas and informed Mir. Rus sell of the condition of affairs. Mir. Russell, though i'll, at once took up the matter and used every influence with President Castro, but without avail. The vice-consul brought to M. Taigny a letter from MT. Russell to that effect. M. Taigny then sent a protest to MT. Russell and to the dean of the diplo- matic corps.
 At Il o'clock the French steamer agent, with the authority of President Castro, informed M. Taigny that a French naval vessel would take him off at 4 o'clock in the morning. No such vessel canN1, however, and one day was { lost in waiting.

SHOCKING TRAGEDT.
Most Appalling Ever Recorded in His-
 tory of New Hampshire.

Pembroke, N. H., Jan. 17.-What the authorities consider as the most ap palling tragedy ever. recorded in New Hampshire was enacted in North Penn broke to-day. Following the destruc- ton of the farm buildings of Charles F. Aver, and the disappearance of sev- en members of Ayers household this forenoon, and the suicide of Aver this in the town of Chichester. six miles distant, the announcemtn was made tonight by Thomas Clifford, county solicitor of Merrimack county, that there was little doubt but that the ssv- en persons had been murdered and the farm house set on fire.
 The theory of the county authorities is that Aver was the murderer, but up to late hour they were unable tc find any evidence to indicate the meth ods employed to wipe out the family. Whether the victims were shot or killed by other means cannot be told until the medical referee has made an examina- ton of the remains of the victims. Up to late hour only charred fragments of two of the victims had been recov. cred, although persons who visited the scene of the fire thought that they ob- served two other trunks in the blazing ruins.
 The victims of the tragedy were.

 Timothy E. Byrnes of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad was the next speaker introduced. He said in substance on the topic 'The People and the Railroads" II am glad to be with you to-nigbt because 1t gives me an opportunity to get acquainted with you, and in this I am selfish because 1 want to get your assistance and CO., operation.

 Many people confuse the successful individual with the great corporation This is not right. The railroads of this country are not themselves rich. Take our road. We have more than 15,00O shareholders averaging less than sixty shares to the individual and represent ing the sole savings of many people some widows and orphans. It has en- joyed your protection and patronage in the past and now I believe is entitled 1 to your confidence and respect.
 Nothing would please our officials more than to give the public all il asks if it can be done There is a great antagonism to railroad officials. My ex < p9rience has taught me to believe that this estimate is generally unjust There I is no railway man in this country more disposed to manage his road for the best interests of the public than Presi- dent Mellen.
 There is a great danger which is threatening the commercial supremacy of New England We intend to give you the best transportation system in the United States. We intend to give you something that will help you main tain your commercial supremacy.
 We need new honesty, not the honesty of other people to ourselves but honesty to our own selves. The New Haven road is trying to do its part. Let it not suffer for it's honesty
 Public ownership is much talked of What public government is capable Of managing the roads? The public off cials are not so capable as private off cials for the management of railroads.
 'The steam engine is doomed. Flee. tricity will take it's place. Wise regu. lation and hearty cooperation we asl from you."

Are We Right!

1t is generally supposed that
every one who buys iron beds,
springs without the old wooden
frame, and even iron bed Stats, do
this to get a strictly Sanitary bed.
We say they are right. By buying
something to Tighten the labors of
the overworked housewife, they
also get a sanitary bed. But how
many people know they have a
mattress to correspond with the
bedl We have our doubts as to
this point. Some mattresses are
made out of what is called wool.
This class of wool is rags gathered
up from house to house and cut up
fine by machinery and made up
and has the feeling of cotton.
In the make of our mattresses
We use and guarantee them to be
out of clean and wholesome ma
terial, cotton and cotton felt.
We have been putting out what
we call a Sanitary mattress, close
stitching, which assures a good
edge, and no binding. There be-
ing no place to catch the dirt, lint,
bugs etc., making a mattress that
saves work and worry. We were
the first to put this kind of work
on the market in Kansas, and
have noticed the other manu-.
facturers falling in line by max
ing some just like them.
We want the public to know we
are not working with closed doors,
so as to use cheap, trashy, un-
sanitary goods. We want all to
come and see US work, and see
the goods we use, and we know
by doing so you will know, beyond
any doubt that we make the most
sanitary mattress on the market.
Our mattresses are on sale in
every town in Barton County and
the dealers will be pleased to show
you our goods and take your order
for anything in the mattress line.
We thank you for the trade you
have given us through our deal.

Card FROM HOOPER drug CO.
Their Liberal Offer TO Treat worst Case
Of CdtaPfh in Great Bend.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
For some time we have had an
opportunity to watch the results
following the use of Hyomei, a
treatment for catarrh that cures
by breathing medicated air, alb
solutely without any stomach
dosing. The results have been so
remarkable that we feel justified
in making a public offer to treat
the worst case of catarrh in Great
Bend with the understanding that
if Hyomei does not cure, it will
cost absolutely nothing.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs only 81, and consists of an
inhaler that can be carried in the
vest-pOcket, a medicine dropper
and a bottle of Hyomei. Should
this not be enough for a cure ex-
ira bottles of HyOmei can be OBJ
tanned for 80 cents. Compare this
small expense with the fees
charged by specialists, and re-
member we guarantee the treat
ment will cost nothing unless it
cures.
We hope this offer will be ac-
cepted by many of your readers.
Very truly yours
