President Alderman Of Virginia
Touches on States Rights
At NEW ENGLAND DINNER
Upon the South Rests the Burden of
the African as Upon New England
Rests the Burden of Dlscon-
tented of other Lands.

New York, December 22.-rhe New
England society of New York tonight
celebrated its 101st anniversary with
banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The big ball room Of the hotel was
decorated with flags and bunting The
toast "Forefathers Day was responded
to by Bishop William Lawrence of Mas
sachusetts.
"Sectionalsm and Nationality was the
topic assigned to President Edwin Alder
man of the University of Virginia. Com
mander Peary told of THE Farthest
North
President Alderman said that he
brought the greetings and good will OF
the Old Dominion and her daughter
states 10 New England. He reviewed at
length the elements which entered into
the makeup of the two peoples, the Puri-
tan in the north, and the Cavalier in the
south, with the Scotch1rish strain added,
both becoming believers in liberty, the
northern branch in individual liberty and
the Virginian in the liberty of local self
government and the right to regulate his
own affairs. These different viewpoints
when applied to the negro question
brought on the war.
Those Who Loved 1t Best.
Touching on state rights, President
Alderman said:
"The doctrine of states rights as a
necessity of popular government is again
engaging the thought of this republic
because mighter forces than war are
yitalizing this old issue under new forms,
and those who understand it best and
love it dearest. and will fight for IL
longest, are those who live in the states
where devotion to it once had the power
to separate them from a country they
had fought to found. There is nothing
stranger or more interesting IN political
history than the recurrence OF this best
loved dogma of the south, unconnected
with secession and unconfused with
slavery, as necessary to federal union
and human freedom.
'1f as Mr.. Root thinks, the struggle
is on between the growing power of the
federal government and the decreasing
authority of the states. you can count on
the southerner as being on the side main
tanning the just balance, for no American
sees more clearly than he just what is
the vital spot In the liberty of a state.
Il interpret Mr.. Roots speech as a
prophecy, and a warning, rather than as
a plea for Capitalization. The drift that
way is unquestoned. VIII the states let
the drift continue? When race riot oc-
ours there are outcries and loud voices.
and some sinking of the heart for wise
men know how hard it is to distinguish
between the moral and economic phases
of such problem that which pro-

GREATEST DANGER is FROM ME-
TALIC POISONING.
BOIL BEFORE FREEZING
The Delightful CONNECTION Growing
Fast in Public and Scientific Favor
but Has Daneers-Impure Flavor
ing Extracts Sometimes Used-Cau-
ton Needed in Preparation.

For several years icecream has
been growing in public favor and in
scientific liberation Physicians are
using it freely as the first food given
to convalescents, especially in fever.
Places so we'll supplied with ice as
Madison is, are apt to carry the mat
any good thing brings bad results.
Local physicians, almost without ex-
ception, favor a moderate use of the
delicious CONNECTION, but they recog-
nize the possibility Of grave dangers
lurking in creamy substance.
Secretary Shumway, of the Michi-
gan State Board of Health, mas just
issued a circular which causes cold
chills to run down the spines Of those
who revel in icecream. He says:
The principal ways by which the
frozen dainty is likely to cause sick
ness, declares Mr.. Shumway, are me-
talic poisoning, impure flavOring COM
pounds, impure milk or cream, and
carelessness in allowing any of the
ice, salt or water in the bucket to
mix with the cream. Metallic pol
soning is caused by the use of two
different metals in the freezer. Many
freezers are composed of heavily
timed iron. 1t is recommended that
when the tin surface of these freeZ-
ers is worn off so as to expose the
iron the freezer be discarded. The
danger of metallic poisoning is also
increased by allowing the paddle to
remain in the cream, and it is recon-
mended that the paddle be removed
Immediately when the freezing is
completed.
cit is criminal to put into ice
cream impure or poisonous favoring
extracts" says the secretary, who
declares that this is sometimes done.
Many fruit flavors are said to be pre-
served with fOrmaldehYde or arsenic.
The circular concludes with:
However, if some persons are still
living to eat and will persist in using
icecream, it is suggested that the
cream and ffavors should be boiled
before being frozen, thus reducing
the chances of fermentation and con-
sequent poisoning to the minimum.

EARTHQUAKE IN OLD ENGLAND
Shock of 1857 Rang Church Bells and
Set People to Praying.

Writing in 1887, chronicler tells of
a sudden earthquake in England that
did a good deal of damage among the
churches in London: THE grec.t clock
bell in the palace at Westminster
strake of itself against the hammer
with the shaking of the earth, as di-
vers other clocks and bells in the
steeples of the city of London and
elsewhere did the like. A piece of the
Temple church fell down and some
stones fell from st. PauPs church, and
at Christ's church, near to Newgate
market, in the sermon while, a stone
fell from the top of the same church,
which stone killed out of hand one
Thomas Grey, an apprentice, and an
other stone fell on his fellow servant
named Mabel Everett and so bruised
her that she lived but four days after.
This earthquake end ured in or about
London, not passing one minute of an
hour, and was no more felt But after
ward in Kent, and on the sea coast it
was felt three times" 1t goes without
saying that the people all fell a-pray-

MILITIA COMPANY ORDERED
TO SHOSHONE RESERVATION

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 24.-On the
request of the sheriff of Fremont
county, Governor Brooks ordered the
Landers militia company to the town
site on the Shoshone reservation.
The difficulty began August 10 when
sooners occupied the town lots. The
federal troops drove them away but
the secretary of the interior ruled
against the action and ordered the
regulars to leave yesterday. The
militia will arrive before the federals
leave. Bad feeling exists as the
squatters may have difficulty to re-
establish their claims.

Grain Quickly Made Bread.

A record time for converting grain
into bread has been established by a
Canadian farmer. Wheat which was
in the sheaf at three o'clock in the
afternoon was made into scenes before
six. When operations began wagon
stood in the barn with about half a
load of grain in the sheaf Beside it
was a thrasher; connected with this
was gasoline engine. The engine
was started, the sheaves were fed into
the thrasher, and the grain was depos.
tied in bin. The power was then
transferred to the cleaner, and the
work of changing the newly thrashed
wheat into flour was quickly carried
through. The rest of the task was
easy.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-There. is
great alarm in Jewish circles over the
developments at Siedlce, Poland,
parallel to the preliminaries of the
Bialystok massacre. The terrorists'

At the funeral yesterday there was
a great demonstration by the Russian
population. GOltseff's widow refused
a wreath from a Jewish society SIM
liar to an incident at Bialystok. Aft
er the explosion of a bomb in the He
brew quarter, which official eXplana-
lions say was accomplished by re-
volver firing from Jewish houses, the
troops killed seven Jews, one chris
ton, and wounded many. Siedlce is
so miles from BialystOk. The north
ern Caucasus agrarian situation is
more serious. The peasantry are
pillaging and burning. Sporadic dis
orders are reported in the provinces
of Moscow Yaroslay, VOlhynia,

The manager of the Odessa branch OF
the New York Life Insurance company
received a letter demanding a contri-
button of $4,000 for the revolutionary

lice protection which was furnished.
Will Proceed to Settlement.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-An impor,
tant conference began Wednesday
night at PeterhOf on the distribution
of crown lands and appendages to
peasants to appease the land-hunger
of the peasantry. The Associated
Press is now in a position to announce
that the government has definitely de-
cided to proceed with the original
plan outlined in the dispatches of Au-
gust 7 for the settling of the agrarian
question, regardless of parliament, and
go to the country upon the issue
at the coming election. A member OF
the cabinet who participated in the
PeterhOf conference said that within
a fortnight an imperial ukase would
be issued directing the agrarian COM
mission to distribute 100000 dessia-
tines (about 21a acres) belonging to
appendages, 100000 belonging to the
crown and 100000 purchased
through the peasants bank.
Landlords will be given a land
script, eventually redeemable by peas
ant purchases of installment notes. It
is believed no parliament will ever
dare to repeal this law. Nearly all
restrictions upon the peasants as a
class will also be removed. This
is the governments bond for the sup
port of the Russian peasant millions
against the revOlutiOnists.

SCARED WANT AID BRIDE.
Crowd Gathered at GAINESVILLE to
Greet Her.


GAINESVILLE, Wis, Aug. 24.-Such a.
crowd greeted Robert Millers pros
pective bride, who promised to marry
him as the result of a newspaper adj
vertisement for a wife, that Miller has
lost his bride. Miller told his friends
that his fiancee was coming to town
and they all went to the railroad sta
ton to meet her. A good part OF the
population of GAINESVILLE was there
The young woman didn't like it and
fed, vowing she never would look at
Miller again. Miller inserted the fol-
lowing advertisement a week ago in
a GAINESVILLE paper:
Wanted-A wife, one who will APP
preciate a good husband, by man who
is, capable of supporting her. Ao-
dress Robert Miller, GAINESVILLE, Wis.
The answer arrived in the person
Of Miss Eliza Kent of Fort Atkinson,
who wrote Miller that the proposition
suited her, and that she would come.
Miss Kent sent her picture, and to
make Identification more positive said
that she would wear two roses in he"
hat Miller was so elated over the
good news that he failed to keep the
affair a secret, and informed a score
of his friends. By the time the de-
pot was reached the platform was
filled with a curious, hooting crowd.
Miss Kent alighted from the train and
the crowd made a dash for her. She
started on a run through the depot
and down the main business street,
with the crowd and several camera
fiends in close pursuit. Miller was
the first to reach the frightened girl.
He tried hard to explain the situation,
but such a reception was too much for
her, and she even refused to listen to
his pleadings. She took her depart
ure back to Fort Atkinson, determined
that she would never answer another
marriage advertisement.
