ENDLESS CHAIN
Bishop Lawrence Makes De-

The Prayer.
LETTERS STILL COMING

WE'D COPIES OF THEM DURING
THE PAST WEEk-THE WHOLE
COUNTRY AFFLICTED.

The endless chain of prayer let

ly is gradually being broken, though
within the past few days many Rich
mond people have received copies of
them. The letters have appeared in
almost every section of the United
States within the past month and a
dispatch from Boston, Mass, yester
day says that so much annoyance has
Lawrence, Episcopal Bishop of Massa
chussetts, by the flood of letters Witch
been pouring in for several months re-
garding the SO-called endless chain
of prayer. which was alleged to have
been started by him that the bishop
has found it necessary to issue the
following denial that he is connected
with the matter:
The endless chain of prayer, said
to have been written by Bishop Law
renee is a hoax. Bishop Lawrence of
Massachusetts, never wrote it and
knows nothing about it, 1t is the
work of some demented or mischiev-
Gus person"

One of the most striking letters re-
garding the matter was received by
the editor of a Montreal paper from
Il correspondent in British Columbia
This correspondent wrote as follows:

One of my lady correspondents

received OF the kind, and she was so
afraid that some calamity would befall
herself or family that she has dsobey-

different parties, myself being one of
the victims. thus placing nine others

calls it, if they do not do likewise. |

SHE LOSES BY EVOLUTION


Chicago, H., August 11.-PrOf w. |.
Thomas of the University of Chicago
a sociolOgist authority of note and a
fellow instructor Of Prof. Charles
Zucblin, has produced treatise on
woman, which, after ignoring the
Adam and Eve and numerous other
theories Of the origin OF humans, pro-
poses unique history Of the relations
Of man and woman from the beginning
Of time to the present day.
Life itself in the beginning was fe-
male, and for countless ages after man
was created from woman the latter
ruled him and was his superior, the
professor holds, in the essay, which is
printed in the current number of the
American Journal of Sociology, issued
from the University of Chicago press
yesterday. Then came a transition in
which man gained the upper hand
which has resulted in the middle or
higher classes, in the degeneration of
the physical, moral and mental life Of
woman.

fer Of $4,000 for the erection of a public
library at Downpatrick, Ireland.
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid has received
from the Royal Astronomical society of
London. on behalf of Prof. w. w. Camp
bell of the Lick observatory of California
the society's gold medal for spectroscopical
researches.
The Chinese commissioners continue their
adventures. Their latest was met by pene-

success of their makeup,
Congressman Calder of Brooklyn, now
serving his first term, mailed 1000 letters
to his constituents asking for suggestions
In a week he had received 1,40O replies
most OF them urging him to stand by the
president as regards leading measures pro-
posed. He IL much pleased with the re-
suit of his experiment.
This is told of James Lick, the eccentric
San Francisco millionaire who founded the
famous observatory bearing his name.
When taking anyone into his service he
always asked the person to plant a tree
upside down-the roots In the air. the
branches underground. If there were any
protest the man was at once sent away.

would obey orders strictly.

THE FAMINE IN JAPAN

President Roosevelt's appeal for con-
tributions to help the people of northern
Japan. where famine prevails, will I'M
doubtedly meet with a prompt and gem
erous response. The advices which have
been received by the State department
concerning the conditions in the affected
provinces show them to be extremely
serious. The primary cause of the famine
is the failure of the rice crop in districts
having population Of nearly 100000.
1t is reported that thousands of people
are living on roots and leaves, some
times mixed with small quantity of
rice or -four. An investigation in one of
the provinces showed that more than n
quarter of a million of people are In ex-
IRENE distress. with no possibilities of
saving life without aid.
The American people have always
been found ready to help the unfor-
tunate in other lands. They were in
hearty sympathy with the Japanese in
the mighty struggle with a powerful
enemy and they now have an oppor-
tunity TO give substantial evidence of
American friendship for the people of
Japan. Prompt relief Is needed and
those who are able and willing to con-
tribute should do so without delay. The
president states in his appeal where con-
tributions can be sent and doubtless pro-
vision has been made for Immediately
forwarding all that shall he made. Let
it again be demonstrated that the hearts
of our people are ever open to the appeal
OF the suffering, of whatever race or
land.

standard of her army to conform TO that
Of her oriental ally. The obvious mean
ing OF this is that Japan considers it
would be one-sided for her to maintain a
large and effective army. while Great
Britain remained satisfied to support a
weaker and less effective force. Al
though the statement was regarded by
the British as somewhat offensive, when
considered in connection with the dee
laration Of Lord Roberts it cannot fail TO
Impress the government as worthy of its
serious attention. What the views of the
liberal ministry may he on the subject
Of army increase 1t is impossible to say,
but the probability is that it will not
favor the Roberts proposition TO raise
the standard of the army to a million
men. II seems safe prediction, how
ever, that it will be found necessary to
materially increase the military estab-
lishment and also reform 1t.

MEAT CONSUMING COUNTRIES.
Cutting Into Export Trade
of the United states.

Philadelphia RECORD
A recent publication by the Department
of Agriculture shows that Great Britain
imports more meat animals and packing
house products than all the other countries
OF Europe combined. The value of such
British imports for 1904 was S2S3 900, 900
For the same year Germany imported
tsS, O00, 900, the Netherlands s29, 10000 and
France se0.0O0000. other European coun-
tries imported smaller amounts Nearly all
the live meat animals imported in Great
Britain come from the United States and
Canada
The British fresh beef trade seems to be
drifting away from the United States. Five
years ago rs per cent was supplied from
this country, per cent from Argentina
and 90 per cent from other countries. In
1904 IS per cent came from the United
States. 80 per cent from Argentina and 6
per cent from other countries. Argentina,
with a population no larger than Pennsyl-
vania. is fast establishing an important
rivalry with the United States in furnish
ing to our most important customer not
only fresh meats but breadstunfs.
The very considerable exports of packing
house products from the the United States
TO Germany after the new German tariff
goes into operation are likely to reach the
German market, II at all through the
ports of the Netherlands. whence they will
be re-exported. The curtailment OF our
trade through hostile tariff legislation is
made more alarming by reason of its diver
sion to other sources of supply, which year
by year are becoming more capable OF sup
plying the demand OF importing countries.

THE BEE AND THE CATTLENEN.

Three tailors of Tooley street once
got together and issued proclamation
to the world in the name of I'VE, the
People" A like number of stock men
have gotten together at Mullen mot
Minden), Neb., and ordered resolutions
printed denouncing The Bee as unfair,
unjust and to be condemned" for de-
Ginning to print communication that
found ready access to the columns of
the local popocratic paper. The letter
returning the contribution to its alleged
author is the best explanation of The
Bees attitude toward the cattlemen and
reads as follows:
We beg to acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 9th with the enclosed article.
which you express yourself confident will
not be published because of our prejudice.
Not wanting to disappoint you. we return
the article. We are not aware that any
misleading ideas about your country have
gotten into circulation by reason of mis-
statements in The Bee. II there have been
any such misstatements. and you will
point them out with their corrections, we
will be pleased to correct them.
Another article refused publication
in The Bee with the answer that the
attorneys of the indicted land fencers
should try their cases in the courts and
not in the newspapers was a bitter ar
raignment of the administration, charg-
ing it with attempted intimidation of
the judiciary and creation of public
opinion, while at the same time trying
in like manner to use The Bee to influ-
ence the court and public opinion in the
other direction.
The Bee has given full hearing to
both sides of the land-fencing contro-
versy. What is more to the point, The
Bee has been perfectly fair in the mat
ter and has refused to circulate the
sensational Measurements scattered
broadcast by other papers, to which eX-
ception is justly taken. For its I'M
prejudiced position the duly accredited
representatives of the cattlemen have
expressed their gratitude. 1t is not
the function of The Bee, however. to
hold a brief for the defense. The
cattlemen have always had "a square
DEAL in The Bee and have no right to
demand more.

wealth, Poverty and Virtue.

chicago tribune.
Some plants need the sunshine, others the
shadow, some the moist heat of the tropics.
others the cold dryness of the north. If
they do not flourish where they are, a
change of environment may reveal their
true nature. Some souls need wealth in
order to bloom, others are destroyed by
IT. but wealth is not to blame. The sordid
cares of poverty the unrelenting struggle
for existence, may harden, embitter, or
shrivel the soul quite as much as the
temptations OF wealth. Whatever figure of
speech is used the idea is that the soul
becomes something farther from perfection,
something other than it might have become
In more favorable circumstances Some
men have been made better by loss,
whether the loss of dear friends, or posi-
ton, or health, or money. To others pros
perity is essential for the blossoming of the
virtues, so far as one may Judge. Wealth
or poverty may equally show a soul as
good or bad. The mad pursuit of wealth is
another thing entirely. 1t is not an innu-
ence or an opportunity. but a revelation.

by everybody except the beneficiaries

BRITISH MILITARY WEAKNESS

The new British Parliament will
doubtless be called upon to consider the
question Of increasing the military es-
adjustment, which according to high au-
thority is at present entirely inadequate
A short time ago Field Marshal Roberts,
in public address, declared that the ma
ton was as absolutely unprepared for
war as 1t was in 1899. He urged the
adoption of million men rs the military
standard, half OF which would be needed
for the defense Of India aud the other
half to fit the nation to maintain a Euro
pean struggle. Lord Roberts said he had
heard Of the renewal of the Anglo-J apa-
nese alliance with enthusiasm. but he
pointed out that national conditions and
national necessities were subject to
change and that the alliance only applied
TO Asia. and not TO Europe, where the
danger was greater.
Another suggestion to the British gov
eminent regarding the army came from
Japan, in the form of a statement by the

Britain would be expected to raise the
