 Interfering With European Affairs.

Washington, December 5.-Whether democratic Senators shall support the Algeciras treaty, in relation to Moroe- can affairs, when 1t is voted upon in the Senate on December 12, will de- pend on the fate of resolution to be presented disclaiming the responsible ity of the United States for the conven- ton and declaring participation of this government is only in furtherance of it's general policy in promoting peace and in the interest of it's commercial relations with Morocco.
 The Senatae committee on foreign relations today considered the treaty and ordered that it be favorably re- ported to the Senate. This action was taken, however, after a committee con sisting of Senators Spooner, Lodge and Bacon had been named to phrase a resolution which would declare the United States had no intention of in- terfering in the regulation of Euro pean international affairs.

SOCIETY. BY ANNIE PERRY REID.
 Bell Telephone 1897.
NATURE oVERTAxED.

 Did you ever see people so busy?" said a woman who keeps up with affairs. The women of our city are too much absorbed in everything; they are social in their na- ture, yet absorbed in all that pertains to publi, interest and forgetful of self. The life is too strenuous and is sure to tell.
 Besides several social functions, often a day, the response for charity and phil anthropy and the duties of home, the hours are too short, the days fit by, and the few hours appointed for rest are not enough to sustain so active a body Mod eration should more effectually guide the assuming of pleasures or duties. The greatest of all blessings is health and this cannot be guarded too closely. The human frame, like a clock, has it's de- pendent parts, and when any member be- comes broken, or weakened the entire structure is disabled. Olling and good mechanic can repair the broken time piece, but frequently even science fails to restore health to the broken human frame"
