Il say the immunity law may be

than the constitutional privilege which

INDIGNANT PEORIA GIRLS
WROUGHT UP OVER THAT REST
 ROOM STORY.
The school Board Will Take Up the Matter Immediately and
 Investigate.

Peoria. H., May 5.-Three hundred high school girls wrought up over sto- ries published about Miss Quinn. member of the faculty, met in the as sembly room and passed resolutions branding the article as a malicious slander
 Principal Beasley made a short talk in which he said that the article re- ilected upon the girls as well as the teacher. The girls adopted resolutions branding as malicious falsehoods" That liquor has been given to girls in the high school otherwise than as medi- cine, and as directed by a physician to be used in such cases. That any girl has ever been made intoxicated or found in that condition in the school That any girl was unable to take part in the annual play because she was un- der the influence of liquor That great quantities of liquor are kept in the rest room That girls lounge in the rest room and that orgies and drinking take place there"
 The school board will take up the matter immed d.ately and investigate. If t finds that any teacher was made the subject of revenge or jealousy punish ment, probably dismissal will be the penalty.
 Dr. McIlvaine a member of the school board. was one of the school physicians who prescribed brandy for the girls He joins with the others in pronouncing the story exaggerated

THE PRESIDENT
 STANDING PAT

Washington, May 7-President Roosevelt reiterated his jews on rail- road rate legislation, in q telegram sent to the legislative committee of the Pennsylvania state grange The tele- gram follows:
 Washington. May G.-W. F. Hill and Members Legislative Committee. Pennsylvania State Grange: Tele- gram received. I am happy to tell you that not only am I standing on my original position as regards rate legislation, but 1t seems likely that congress will take this position. too. The Hepburn bill meets my views, as l have from the beginning stated. The Allison amendment is only declaratory of what the Hepburn bill must mean, supposing it to be con stitutional, and no genuine friend of the bill can object to it without stultifying himself In addition, should be glad to get certain amend ments such as those commonly known as the Long and Oyerman amendments, but they are not vital, and even without them. the Hepburn bill. with the Allison amendment contains practically exactly what have both originally and always since asked for, and if enacted into law il will represent the longest step ever yet taken in the direction of solving the railway rate problem.

revived the love for an art which has prospered and languished in regular cycles since the beginning of history Egyptian designs were much to the fore in the days of hoops and farth- ingales, but classic designs had a still greater vogue, and the semblance of
 'mortals and immortals" derived from mythical sources made a picturesque subject for many an ornament treasur- ed by the beauties of three generations |ago.
 Most of the canoes which have de- scended to modern times were carved in sardonyx, or agate-onyx, although in museums and many private collections beryle and amethysts, as well as many of the more valuable gems, are to be seen.
 Canoes, which date from the First Empire, were often carved out of shells, the great demand for precious stones necessitating the discovery of some cheaper substitute, and although more brittle, and, consequently, much less lasting than the real gems, shell cam- eos were made with such skill as almost to deceive the eye of an expert, Layers of the shell were placed one on the other until the required thick ness was obtained, and not only Dianas and Cupids, but beauties or favorites of the day from the famous ladies of the French courts to Napo- leon or MacMahon, were popular sub jects models.
 As regards settings, no one but vandal in artistic taste would tamper with the old twisted gold framework or beading which encircled an antique cameo brooch or the heavy links which bound a row of carved sardonyx me- dallions around the wrist. Tn the '40s and sos, however, artistic taste was not invariably to be trusted, and there Is no disgusting the fact that some of the gems of those times can not be countenanced nowadays in their heavy and, barbarous- looking settings, and many women are, in consequence, hay- ing the old heirlooms reset according to beautiful old Greek or Italian de- signs. Circles formed of rows of cameos interlinked with fine gold openwork promise to have a great vo- que this winter, and the single cameo in the form of a loclet, suspended by a gold chain around the neck, and marquise rings are already being adopted with enthusiasm while in ad- dition Empire combs and other per sonal trinkets, toilet boxes and orna- ments inset with cameos are carrying all before them at present in the French capital.
