A WISER or more popular choice could
not have been made than the naming of
M. Mcknight of Hannah as the demo-
cratic candidate for the commissioner
ship of the First District, to fill the va
cancy on the ticket caused by the with
drawal of Com'r Dawson. Mr.. Mcknight
is better known perhaps than any other
man in his district, has knowledge of
affairs that fittingly adapts him to do
good service and people who know
Matt Mcknight feel he is a safe man
with whom to entrust the administra-
tion of county matters.

The Hats.

GThe shapes are mostly small, or medium, and
tipped over the face as in last season. The
narrow, smooth braid effects lead all others.
This, together with the dainty colors, make the
shapes exceptionally pretty.
GRoses reign supreme; Of all sizes and colors,
although they do say the small rose is the fav-
onte In fact most flowers and foliage are on the
diminutive order Sing strings and strands of
tiny buds and blossoms encircle crowns like
necklace about the throat Ribbons vie with
flowers in popularity, the exaggerated bow be-
ing In chief favor. Lace Of heavy sort, also
val. laces, are as popular as, ever.
GThe range of exquisite colors In which all
materials are produced is one Of the happiest
features Of present-day millinery. The shades
are now so perfectly matched to the entire cos
tune that the whole effect is in the highest
taste. The most carefully modulated lavenders,
prunes, cactus shades, amethyst tints, rasp-
berry and carnation colorngs are shown.

AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY.
Seventeenth Annual Meeting Held Yes
terday in Boston.

Boston, May 18.-The American peace
society held it's seventy-eighth meeting
at its headquarters in this city to-day,
with President Robert Treat Paine in
the chair and large number of mem
bers in attendance. The annual report
of Secretary Trueblood, called attention
to the fact that the society has been
represented in all the great peace and
arbitration conferences during the year
and that through its efforts President
Roosevelt has used its influence In be-
half Of a periodic conference of Ameri-
can republics. The report concludes
as follows: THE details of the peace
movement are sufficient to justify the
assertion that after making an allow
ance for the prevailing militarism and
the serious obstacles still in the way
the outlook for the final and complete
success of our cause is bright and en-
couraging."
The directors called attention to the
fact that the effort to raise 100000 for
a permanent headquarters and endoW-
ment has not been successful and only
$4,000 has been collected up to date.
The directors therefore repeat their ap-
peal of last year for funds.

Prediction That it VIII be Temperate
and Deliberate and Seeking to Avoid
Rupture,
st. Petersburg, May 1S.-The issue of
the first encounter between the mon
arch and the representatives of the
people hangs for the moment in the
balance. Though the representative
chamber Of parliament and the council
of the empire adopted addresses in re-
ply to the speech from the throne no
answer has been given to either ad-
dress and none is expected before
Monday. President Mouromtseff, who
had hoped to obtain an audience of
Emperor Nicholas to-day for the pre-
sentation of the address of the lower
house received an invitation to a, gala
birthday luncheon at Peterhof to-mor-
row, an official function to which no
ther high functinaries have been bid
den There Is no intimation on the
court side that this invitation is con
nected with the request for an au-
dience. The parliamentary leaders, on
the other hand consider the failure to
include the other deputies who were
instructed to accompany President
Mouronltseff renders it out of the ques-
tion for the president Of the lower
house to discuss the address even in
formally.
The Associated Press is informed to-
night that the imperial reply which will
be delivered through the medium of a
speech by Premier Goremykin, probably
at the first session of the house after
President Mounomtseff has been receiv-
ed at Peterhof, will, as already predict
ed, be temperate and deliberate. seeking
to avoid occasion of rupture, but, on
the other hand, not concealing the en-
peror's view that parliament in many
respects has attempted to infringe the
imperial prerogative. On these points
the response will be a calm refusal
Other suggestions will be accepted
wholly or in part, while other parts the
emperor will regard simply as declara-
tions Of the policy Of parliament which
do not require imperial consideration
until presented in the regular course Of
legislation.
Relative to the eargerly expected am.
nesty the Associated Press learns tha
the cabinet, though it has discussed tht
question several times, has not adopted
any recommendation, deciding that i
is entirely matter of the emperor'l
personal prerogative.

NOT TO THE 900"
Cannot Look to 1t for Social Regenera'
tion says Bishop McVicker.

Philadelphia, May 1S.-The church
congress closed to-day with discus
sion on the topic of "How Shall Society
Punish Moral Offenses?" The principal
speaker was Bishop McVicker, of Rhode
Island. He said society must punish
moral offenders if it is to live and serve
it's high purpose. "There can be no
doubt about that as an abstract propo-
sition," he said. IF man is to be re-
deemed, then certainly society, which
is, after all, man multiplied and cor
related, must be redeemed with him.
The bishop discussed the meaning OF
the word society" and in referring to
the so-called "4OO," the smart set" he
said:
ut is hardly to such, or to any mix
ture of such, that we should look for
social regeneration
Others who spoke were Bishop Bur-
CESS, of Long Island; Rev. Q. F. j
Wrighey, of Brooklyn, and Or. Hamil-
ton w. Mabie, Of New Jersey.

Washington, May 1S.--After the sen
ate concluded the third reading Of the
railroad rate bill to-day Senator Ray
nor took the floor to discuss the gem
eral aspects of the measure. His speech
dealt mainly with the presidents con-
nection with the legislation, and was
largely personal throughout.
| Mr.. Raynor said that he was firmly
of the belief that the president would
again change his mind before this con-
troversy was over, and that If the
speaker Of the house Of representatives
would nominate man on the confer
ence committee who had the courage
of his convictions, and who would not
waver upon the question of constftu-
tional review, the presidentwould aban-
don the Allison amendment and goAb back
again to the Long amendment, theplace

He said that Addison had once made
the remark that a woman who deliber-
ates is lost, and that while there was
no chance Of anybody ever losing the
president, there was no telling If within
the next few days some new Chandler
to fortune and to fame unknown, might
not get possession Of the president and
tide him over the breakwater Of the
Allison amendment back again to his
original terminus.
Mr.. Raynor said that he would not
lpretend to make any assault upon the
president or pretend to charge him with
a selfish or dishonest purpose, but that
the processes of reasoning through
(which he reached a conclusion were SO
Ichangeable that 1t was impossible to

/ this was a great era for natural dis
turbanoes, and that the president seems
to be somewhat Jealous Of the earth
quake and volcano eruptions that had
taken place and was going through a
sort Of conpetic performance himself,
Illuminating the horizon, but tearing
through space, oblivinus Of where he
came from and with no definite conoep-
ton where ohe is going. Mr.. Raynor
said he (Raynor) was perfectly serious
in his expectation that, owing to these
peculiar fancies Of the president, he
would change his whole position again.

PURPOSE OF RATE BILL.
Giving of Power to Fix Rates to Inter-

washington, May 1S.-The principal
,,,rnose of the railroad rate bill pass
cd to-day is to permit the interstate
commerce commission to fix rates The
nrovision comforting this authority is
found in the fourth section of the bill,
which amends section Is of the inter-
state commerce law so as to accom-
nrsh that result. That section directs
tba commission to investigate COM
nIaints of unjust and unreasonable
charges on the part Of common car
,,iers in the transportation of persons

nractices affecting such charges. 1t
also authorizes an inquiry as to wheth-
or the rates or practices are "unjustly
discriminatory or unduly preferential
or preiudieial or otherwise in violation
of the act" and in case any of these
conditions are found to exist the COM
mission is empowered to determine and
prescribe what will be the just and rea'
sonable maximum rate and what regu-
lation or practice is just, reasonable
and fair. Further, authority is given
the commission to enforce its orders
and they are to go into effect within

ANTI-TIPPIAG Law.
First Test Case Begins with Arrest In
New York.

New York, May 49, The first test
case Of the so-called "anti-tipping'' law
was begun to-day with the arrest of
Frank T. Burke, a harness manufac-
turer who was charged with paying to
an employe or servant, a commission on
goods purchased in an employers
name. Assistant District Attorney
Lockwood told the court that Mr.. Je-
rome was in receipt of complaints from
department stores all over the city al
leging that it was almost impossible for
them to supply many we'll known fam
lilies, because the servants or employees
of these families, to whom was en-
trusted the business of purchasing such
supplies, invariably patronized firms
that paid them commissions. Mr.. Lock
wood said that Mr.. Jerome proposed to
make a test case. The evidence was
gathered by detectives who represented
themselves as coaehmen and made pur-
chases at Mr.. Burkes establishment.
The latter was paroled after arraign-
ment.

letter in full follows:
New Haven, May IS, 1905.
The Trades Council New Haven,
Conn:
Dear Sirs-In reply to your recent in
quiry with regard to voting machines I
desire to call your attention to one fact
which seems to be greatly misunder-
stood, namely, that at the election of
October 2, 1905, an amendment to the
state constitution was voted upon le-
galizing the use of voting machines in
such towns as might, by action taken
later, authorize their use. This amend
ment was carried, but the question Of
ordering voting machines has never
been voted upon by the citizens of New
Haven. / agree with you when you say
that 1T is amazing that so many citi-
zens Of New Haven are indifferent" in
this matter. The truth of what you
say is demonstrated by the fact that
out of total voting list of nearly $4,000
citizens only 1,O9S in all the fifteen
wards took the trouble to record their
vote in favor of adopting the amend
ment that legalized use Of the voting
machines, as against 7S9 voters who
cast votes against that amendment
Four wards-the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth
and Fifteenth-voSed against the
amendment. In two wards-tbe Twelfth
and Fourteenth-the vote was tie
You will notice that of the two wards
where the voting machines had beer
given a trial the Fifth ward cast ma.
jority against the machines and the
Tenth ward cast a majority in favor o.
them.
Early in my administration / asked
the board of aldermen to investigate
the voting-machine proposition with {
view to their possible adoption. Tha
board, passed an order in favor O
adopting the machines, but the boar(
: of finance could not find available
funds. The subsequent correspondence
and negotiations with regard to th
voting machines are too we'll known t.
need repetition here. 1t has not beel
practical to appropriate the neeessar!
money for the machines chiefly becaus
of more crying necessities, such as t
build three new schoolhouses to TAX
care of children who were being taugh
in cellars and stores, to build two ney
engine houses, and to make needed i'm
provements in streets.
1 think it might be wise to have
special box at each ward polling plac
, in the approaching state election t
: take a full vote on the definite question
: of ordering voting machines for tn
t city. Very truly yours,
