SECOND HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Sessions Will Probably Be Held Mex,

May or June.
Although the date has not yet been def
nitely fixed, the second Hague conference
will probably be held next May or June,
according to DR.. David Jayne Hill, United
States minister to the Netherlands, who In
now in Washington on a special mission.
The postponement Of this important gather
ing, at first regretted by every one inter-
ested In the encouragement Of the great
principle of settlement Of international dis
putes by arbitration, is now believed to
have been very fortunate. In the first place
several events of Importance have taken
place raising issues which it will now be
possible to bring before The Hague confer
ence. some of these indeed being superior
in interest and importance to the topics
that were suggested for consideration in the
first tentative Russian program. In the
second place, as a result of Secretary Roots
South American tour, 1t Is now probable
that nearly all of the governments of that
continent will be represented at the second
conference, which was not at all certain
had the conference been held when original
ly proposed. The representation will thus
be Increased from thirty nations to about
forty-five.

FAIR PUPILS COMING
$50 RADNoR COLLEGE GIRLS TO
VISIT CAPITAL CITY.

It is expected that the faculty and $50
young ladies Of Radnor College of Nash
vile, Tenn. will arrive in the city this
evening in special care to devote about
twenty days to study IN the capital city.
When the ESQ., under the chaperonage OF
President and Mrs. Elmann. descend upon
Washington they propose to open a nav
and instructive chapter in their educational
campaign.
Miss N. A. Moseley., the lady principal
OF the college, will be in direct charge OF
the party, and the time in this city will
be spent at the Burton Hotel.
In the estimation of the management of
Radnor. travel is wonderful edu Gator,
and to carry out their project the faculty
has undertaken to give their pupls the
advantage Of this tour of the eastern Cities
This unique feature Of college work will
cost, 1t Is estimated about $4,000 but is
given without expense to the stp dents.
Thus the happy college girls Of Radnor
from every part OF the southland will be
afforded the pleasure Of study in the ma.
tional capital.
1t is stated that the faculty of Radnor
recognizes Washington as the educational
center OF the nation, and 1t 1t is declared
that other colleges might profitablys follow
the example of this institution in bringing
students here for study and recreation.
This small army Of attractive young wom-
en- will doubtless receive a hearty welcome
In this city. In return. 1t Is said to be
within their power to do much toward the
building up Of Greater Washington, as
they can use their efforts to persuade rep
resentatives in Congress from their section
to deal more literally with the commercial
interests Of Washington. They can cncour-
age closer commercial relations between
the business men of the capital and those
Of their home sections. and it is said 10 be
the hope Of the Radnor College faculty
that each Of the young ladies when she
goes to her home will consider herself q
personal representative Of Greater Wash
ington.

Great Night for the Onion.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The onion has served as the basis for
many qups and filings at the hands of the
humorous paragraphers. And yet 1t is an
extremely wholesome plant and one of high
rank with the ancients, particularly the
early Egyptians. For these reasons 1t is
pleasant to note that the tabooed edible
met with deserved recognition at what was
termed an onion reception and banquet In
an interior New York town called Union,
which in this case might plausibly seem a
corruption Of onion. 1t was arranged in
honor OF the sixteenth anniversary of the
special guests Of the evening and the
onion was the center and scenter of attrac-
ton. The house was decorated with onion
blossoms. an onion centerpiece graced the
table and the bill OF fare Included onidas

Origin Of Ascot Races.
From the London Chronicle.

When did Ascot races begin? They are
mentioned in the first Racing Calendar %
published in 1927. and the usual state
ment is that they were founded by the
Duke Of Cumberland. uncle Of George 1T.
But an entry in the accounts Of the mas
ter of the horse in 1712 suggests that
they were founded by Queen Anne on Au-
gust 6, iii. The truth. no doubt, is that
Ascot races. like many other august in
situations, gradually developed from a
thew really began. At any rate, they were
quite the sort of thing that enthusiast Of
the turf. Queen Anne, would have found
ed. She was a thorough Stuart in this
passion. It was her great grandfather,
James I. who encouraged, II he did not
establish, horse racing in Scotland and
popularized-1f In England.

The last case ergin Calvin come up for
trial at this kort I'm tellin' you about
and that lawyer man was bitter as dog
wood berries in pleadin' against old Cal
win. There was a right peart chance of
thrill in his speech on the case. He car

had cost the state of Alabama with his

blood and tears and agony, of an unwise
indulgence in the fiowin' bowl. and he
preached until a few weak-minded imbe-
Giles in the kort room got to snifflin. Of
coas the jury acquitted Calvin, but for
appearances sake they had to pretend
they couldn't agree for uppurds of an
hour
When the court wound up and the law

Calvin followed the solicitor down to the
carriage where the jedge and solicitor and

surged across that stream, and for hVe
minits he talked away like jay-bird,
without KNOWN exactly what he said.
The gal had a trembly little culver of her
rosy lips. shown that she was kinder
skeart and sorter glad of 1t; and she
sank down to the ground bashful like,
pullin her skirt over her bare feet. No
amount of coaxing and wheedlin' would
induce her to tell her name, or where
she lived or how far she had walked or
to let out any information about her To-
cality, and once he looked at her so hard,
with all his heart in his eyes. that she
grabbed up her shoes and stockings and
fled like deer down dim path calm
back over her shoulder. BE here next
Sunday at this time" The lawyer jumped
on his boss and tried to overtake her, but
she lodged like a Guinea hen into the
friendly shadows of the big woods and
was gone. T
Next Sunday he was four hours prema-
toor at the appointment, and when the
gal got there he let in to counting her
like a house on afire There wasn't any
mistake about his bein in good dead
earnest; he wanted that woman he want
ed her the wust sort, and he wanted her
right now When the gal seen that the
Teller was absolutely yearnin for her,
she sorter quit her devillin' and cokettin'
over unedueated simple mountain maid
en-: but like all fool men, the more she
talked the more sot and determined he
waxed. This here trysting went on for
weeks and weeks and one day she couldn
stand his begging any longer and she told
him her name, and lowed after he had
coaxed her er hour that she was willing
20 change that name to hisn. Tharupon
that discipul of Blackstone took her up
behind him on the boss, rid five miles
down to her door and old Colvin Whelan 5
home, and when the old man come out
and invited him in, that solicitor party
lit down off en- his animal, put his arm
around the gals waist, helped her down,
and taking her hand he walked up to
Calvin and said: "Old man. you told me

erround the lawyers neck and cried.
Old Calvin didn't do a thing but send for
preacher and three fiddlers and that
wedding was the biggest affair that ever
happened on Tarrapin. Gentul-men, we
had forty couples on the floor at one
time, and three fights going on outside
simultaneous.

The one man in the valley for whom
Tichnor had a sort of friendship was L..
B. Moore, whom Grover Cleveland and
Richard Watson Glider call the Father
of the Valley" Tichnor obtained permits
sion from Moore to build a shanty in the
deep pine woods, then standing on River
side farm, a half mile back and up from
the house. In return he agreed to keep
an eye on the woods and pasture. The
hut was perhaps 5 by feet in ground
area, and of the lean-to variety, about
seven feet high In the highest part There
was no floor. save the hard ground, and
the only furniture was a crude bed, a
rickety table, and chair with a cook
stove. The location was chosen first for
the proximity of a splendid spring and
next for the shelter of the great trees. 1t
was beautiful retreat, and artists spend
ing the summer at Riverside farm were
wont to sketch 1t and photograph 1t.
At first this proved a great annoyance
to the hermit, but in later years he

cLEvELAND's FRIEND DEAD.
Noted Hermit and Fishing Guide Was
Seventy-five.
7rom the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
George Il. Tichnor. the so-called ''Ty-
bingham hermit" protege of Richard
Watson Glider and one-time fishing guide
to ex-President Grover Cleveland, died
recently in a small cottage attached to
Riverside Farm, Massachusetts, where
Mr.. Cleveland spent a summer several
years ago. He was seventy-five years
old, six feet two inches in height, and
straight as an arrow. Wearing a pa
triarchal beard. a singular disk of cork
over the eye, held in position by twist
ed length of copper wire. and dressing in
peculiar fashion, he had been recognized
as one of the characters of Berkshire
county for many years.
Tradition has it that Tichnor combined
English. French and Indian blood in his
veins. but the oldest inhabitants is unable
to verify this. although one old timer re-
calls that Tichnor's mother lived in San
disfield and Cooked like an Indian.
When the lad, was still very young his
parents died, ind he was taken into the
fold of the "yringham Shakers, then q
