MACHINIsTs ON SOUTHERN RY.
TO MEET PRESIDENT SPENCER.

A conference between the committee rep
resenting the striking machinists OF the
Southern railway and President Spencer OF
the Southern will take place in New York
Thursday evening There is q general feel
ing Of hopefulness among ..ose interested
that this conference will result in q settle
ment Of the questions In dispute and that
the men will return to work later this week
AS has been stated, President James
O'Connello Of the International Association Of
Machinists while In New York last week
had an interview with President Spencer
Of the Southern. and aided by the National
Civic Federation. Of which Mr.. O'Conneu 10
member. arrangements were made FOR
the reopening Of negotiations. Ar. OCon-
nell wired the members Of the strikers'
committee yesterday to come to Washing
ton. and all are expected to- reach here
from their southern homes by tomorrow
committee will confer with President O'Con-
nell at the headquarters OF the Interna-
tioual Association Of Machinists in the Nc
Gill building on G street, and early Thurs
day morning the machinists will leave for
New York.
It Is expected that President O'Connell Of
the machinists and Mr.. Seth Low, prest-
dent Of the National Civic Federation. will
take part In the conference between Presi-
dent Spencer and the striking machtnlsts.
Since the breaking of Of negotiations In
this city over week age President OCon-
nell has been quietly working to bring the
conflicting interests together, and the meet
ing to be held in New York Thursday Is the
result Of his work.
Reports coming from the points in the
south where the shops abandoned by the
strikers are located are to the effect that
the efforts Of the railway company to put
non-union men in the places vacated by
the strikers has not proven much OF sue
cess, and Is likely to cause trouble with
union men employed at other trades In the
shops The railway officials need the men.
it is said to keep up the repair work on
the rolling stock. The machinists have
drawn strike benefits from the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, but they
are tired of being idle, and so it is believed
that the coming conference will see mutual
concessions.

BOURKE CoCKRAN'S BRIDE.
Miss Marjorie Ide Arrives With Her
Father at Frisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 80. - Henry
Clay Ide. late governor general of the hill
ippine Islands arrived here yesterday on
the liner Hong Kong Maru, accompanied
by his daughter. Miss Marjorie Ide. He has
come home after more than Ave years
SERVICE in the far east to attend the mar
riage OF his daughter to Bourke Cochran.
The wedding will take place at the Ide
home in st. Johnsbury, VT, shortly after
Governor Ide's arrival
Speaking of conditions in the Islands.
Governor Ide said:
The Philippines are today in better
shape than they ever were under Spanish
or American rule The labor question is no
longer a problem.
What the Philippines do need, however,
is a square deal in the matter Of the tariff
BY annexation we killed the Spanish mar
ket for the sugar and tobacco of the Phil
ippines, and by our tariff we barred these
products from the United States. Both In
dustries are today in state of prostra-
ton.
THE policing OF the islands is almost en-
tirely In the shands Of the natives, and ex-
cept in Leyte and Samar. where hill tribes
make war on the lowlanders, all is peace in
the Philippines"

SHOWS HER ADVANCED AGE
She Talks nationally to a Woman Re-
porter at Door.
WOULD NOT ENTER THE ROOM
Declaration Made That She Is Well ant
Has No Other Physician,
but God.

CONCORD. N. H.. October 9O.-A repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press who in
terviewed Mrs. Mary Baker g. Eddy, head
Of the Christian Science Church, went to
Pleasant View, Mrs. Eddy's home, today
and was granted another interview. AL
though Mrs. Eddy shows her advanced age
in some respects. her voice today was clear
and strong. and she gave no evidence Of
decrepitude or Of any weakness not to be
expected of q woman in her eighty sixth
year.
The interview which was granted half a
score Of newspaper representatives who had
assembled in this city after the publication
OF sensational stories in connection with
Mrs. Eddy's health was arranged early in
the day by H: Cornell Wilson, head of the
Christian Science publishing committee In
addition there were present Erwin g Her
ring, first reader of the local Christian Sci
ence Church; Edward M. Pearson secretary
OF the state of New Hampshire: Mr.. Wilson
ana Calvin A. Frye. Mrs. Eddy's secretary.
Woman Reporter Interviews Her.
When the newspaper representatives had
been seated in Mrs. Eddy's parlors Mr.
Frye announced Mrs. Eddy She walked to
the doorway and stood, unassisted. before
her 1nterviewers She did not advance be-
yond the threshold of the door, and when
1t was seen that she would not enter the
room Tor prolonged Interview a woman
reporter was delegated to talk to her.
Mrs. Eddy appeared to be more anxious
to demonstrate that she was in good physi-
cal condition than to answer inquiries
Just three questions had been asked by
the interviewer when Mrs. Eddy turned
spoke word to her secretary and abrupt
ly started for her carriage, to take her
customary afternoon drive. The interview
ers were left In the parlors with number
less questions on their lips, but without
an opportunity to ask them.
Very Short Talks.
"A re you in perfect physical health. Mrs
Eddy?' was the first question asked after
Mrs. Eddy had made her appearance.
Il am" was the brief reply, given with
distinct enunciation.
Have you any other physician than
God?'
mo, indeed" answered Mrs Eddy, with
emphasis, and then she added, slowly and
solemnly:
The everlasting arms are around and
above me. which is enough"
DO you take q daily driver
do replied Mrs. Eddy.
1t was at this point in the interview that
Mrs Eddy unexpectedly indicated that the
interview was at an emu. for she turned,
without another word, and walked to the
porte cochere at the front of the house
where her carriage was awaiting to convey
her on her usual drive about the city. She
was escorted to the carriage by Mr.. Strang
and Mr.. Frye. AS Mr.. Strang assisted Mrs
Eddy into the vehicle, Mr.. Frye who wore
footman's uniform, mounted the drivers
seat alongside Of the coachman. Mrs. Eddy
was then driven away.

PERMIT FOR GARAGE IN DOUBT.
Point Made That Applicant Must Sc
cure Property Owners Consent,

Although the Commissioners have taken
no definite action In connection with the re-
quest of Thomas ]. Fisher for a permit to
erect an automobile garage In an alley be-
tween 18th and 10th streets and Belmont
street and Columbia road northwest, 1t Is
stated as unlikely that the permit will be
granted. Aside from the numerous objec-
tons offered at a hearing before the Com
missioners last week the point has been
made that the Commissioners will not be
able to grant the permit because the police
and building regulations governing such
buildings provide that permit shall only
en nnsan* n n rhe cnna ~, I ,ne
owners within radius of 200 feet.
According to the officials of the building
Office. the applicant In this case has not pre-
scented the written consent of the necessary
percentage Of property owners. and unless
this majority Is obtained within the next
week the terms of the regulation itself
would prohibit the issuance of this permit.

The Fifty Ninth Congress.

The 59th Congress which closed at
10 o'clock Saturday night was, in the
extent and Importance of it's legisla-
ton. one of the most important, per-
laps the most important in the his
tory of the country. President Roose
welt declares that it was the most not
able one in point of results achieved
that has assembled in the National
Capital since he came to know any
thing of public affairs. 1t was indeed
as one of our Democratic exchanges
well says, "a record breaker in the
number and Importance of the bills
passed, in the tremendous Importance
of the issues involved. and in the
amount Of appropriations" which it
may be added, in addition to the usual
expenditures of government, provided
for the digging of the Panama canal
and the construction of a number of
much needed public buildings. Among
the most important measures which
this Congress has passed are the rail-
road rate bill. the meat inspection bill
the public buildings bill, the free alco-
hol bill, the statehood bill admitting
Oklahoma, and the new imnigrat ton
and naturalization laws. The far reach
ing effect of these laws will be better
seen and appreciated by the American
people after they have been put into
practical operation. They have been
due i'm a large measure to the efforts of
President Roosevelt, who has been an
active and potent factor in securing
Legislation for the correction of grave
abuses in our national life, and secur-
ing of equal rights and opportunities
for all the citizens of our great Re
public. They form very important
chapter in tho long list of distinguish
ed public services he has rendered the
American people. While it is true that
they extend the federal laws over our
internal affairs to a greater extent
than ever before in the history of our
country. it is also true that they were
enacted i'm response to an ovcrwhelm-
ing public sentiment, and are alto
gether commendablc in their spirit and
purpose.
The 59th Congress. under the splcn-
did leadership of President Roosevelt.
has certainly made splendid record,
and one which will not fail to be cor
daily endorsed by the American peo-
pie

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Children and the Reading of Books.


II was the AutOcrat at the Breakfast
table vino said that once in a while
the mind gets so stretched by a new
idea or emotion that it never shrinks
again to its former dimensions
He might have said that the mind
would never grow at all but for these
stretching processes. and that the
surcst way of attaining fun mental
growth is to keep setting the mind at
a task that is, in the beginning, little
too big for it.
Many people are afraid of giving a
child n book that is too old for him;
and when they make a sentence for his
reading they fear to introduce an I'M
familiar word-with the result that
they give him books with no nutriment
for his hungry mind. and talk to him
in words of one syllable like an old
fashioned primer.
such cartfulncSS is usually thrown
away and is very often Il real and
positive injury to the child. 1t is like
kc"pirE him on a diet of milk and wa
ter when his growing body wants other
food.
IF you give him 4 good wholesome
book it is not 50 much matter that it
is too old for him: he will not get from
il any more nutrimcnt than his nina
can assimilatc. Letting him come in
contact with an unfamiliar word is
merely giving him a chance to make
= now acquaintance: it may lead to "A
fiourishng friendship that will teach
him a great deal: for every word is a
kew. and, though he may only jingle II,
and NAV with il for a while. he is very
likely to discover a keyhole into
which it slips, and so unlock a live
thought shut up in it's little box of
meaningless sounds.
When we are older it is much the
same with our books and ideas. Give
Ms one that is a little beyond our pow
crs and we shall soon grow up to it
and be ready for a bigger one yet.
