THE HAGUE CONFERENCE
The short Period Of Time VIII Make
Necessary Rapid Diplomatic
Work.

Washington, April 4.-The move
ment made by Russia for the recon-
vention of The Hague conference was
wholly unexpected. It had heen sup
posed thatSwing to the complexity OF
the problems involved In the arrange
ment of even tentative programme for
the conference, and the delays caused
by the necessity Of persuading the Swiss
government to make the time and pro-
gramme for the approaching Red Cross
convention conform, as far as possible,
to The Hague project, 1t would scarcely
be possible for the conference to as
sensible earlier than o late date next
fall There were seasoaable objections,
however, to such a date, and 1t was In
timated that 1t might be necessary to
defer the convention until next year.
The matter had been left In large part
to the governments Of Russia and The
Netherlands to adjust. the first named
because the proposal for the conference
had originated with Empesor Nicholas,
and the latter for the reason that the
host should be consulted when 1t con.
cerned a matter Of date for the con-
ference.
The fact that they have agreed makes
1t probable that the other signatory
powers to the original Hague conven-
tlon. which have adopted the invita-
tion to attend the next conference will
agree to the proposed date, although
the short period Of time available will
make 1t necessary for some Of the pow
ers which have given little attention
to the subject recently, to do some rap
Id diplomatic work, In order to arrange
programmes according to their, own de-
sires. For It Is certain that the pro-
posed Russian programme as conveyed
to the state department by Baron Ro-
sen will, while not meeting positive OBJ
jections, at least call forth some prof
ects differing materially In scope and
detail from the Russian plan. A cas-
ual reading Of the proposal discloses
nothing that is calculated to arouse op-
position on the part Of the United
States government.

The Elk Prizes.

"0ne of the most remarkable prizes ever arranged to be given for a fra ternal gathering is offered at Dem yer. Colorado" said a resident of this city who has just returned from Denver Tt is in the form of mag nificent silver elk, beautifully sculp- tured, and resting upon an immense base of semi-precious stones and mineral specimens, and it is intend- ed to be given for the lodge of Elks bringing the largest number of la- dies to the reunion, to be held in that city in July. Arrangements have been made to deck Denver in purple on that occasion. All the la dies of the city will wear purple gowns and hats. and purple flowers will be planted in the parks, and in the front yards of all Denver homes. The intention is to bring together the largest gathering of ladies ever held on the American continent. The beautiful silver elk Is worth s1.000 as it stands. and the art value given the metal by the sculptors who work ed upon it. enhances its worth very materially. The silver elk is given by Fred G. Shaffer, a wealthy min- ing man of Colorado. who is enthusi- astic over the plan to bring together at the great Elks' reunion such a large number of ladies that the event will be notable for that reason alone. The Colorado Elks will spend s10O,- 900 for the entertainment of those who come. and a good portion of this money will be spent in the entertain ment of the ladies'

VAUDEVILLE.

It will be a long time before the patrons of vaudeville will have the chance of enjoying a bill as good as that which is winding up the season at the Jacques this week. Not twice in season are such remarkably strong numbers. secured for a pro- gram and that the public realizes the fact is evidenced by the patronage which the little play house is now en- toying. The Hungarian Hussar band has made the biggest kind of hit not only by the musicianly skill of its members but because the selec- tions it plays are within the appre- citation of every class of theater-goer. The magnificent, stately harmonies of "ParsifaP' are the proper diet for the lovers of grand opera, but the average vaudevillian wants his music lighter, more sprightly and of the type to make his toes dance. Niklas Schilzonyi's boys, for that is what they are, play with verve and light ness that goes far in the making of the great pleasure music fiends have taken in the selections rendered. The program will be changed often enough during the week to make a return trip to the theater seem like a first visit. The balance of the bill is composed of all headline attrac- tions topped off by Raymond and Caverly, the popular Dutch come dians, who have about the funniest bunch of nonsense talk rattled of the stage at the Jacques in many moons. There is nothing especially quiet about the act, but a Fiji islander would understand the hu- nor of it and be obliged to laugh. The Millman trio. beyond doubt the greatest wire walkers in the world, need only to be seen to convince the most skeptical that there is no limit to the development of the dexterity of the human body. Little Bertie
 Millman is the nearest approach to g sprite imaginable, and her running on the high wire is amazing. A. c.
 Duncan, always up to date and al- ways funny: Ida O'Day, pretty, clever girl, with great possibilities;
 the Herald Square quartet, good singers, and the Misses Brenner and Sinclare, are the other artists. The pictures should not be overlooked, for they are the best of the year.
 Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents, af- ternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Queen Margherita.

Queen Margherita is a delightful grandmother. but she loves all chil- dren, and they are devoted to her. Once some years ago at public func- ton two school children were deputed to present bouquet to her and were told to kiss her hand. This they did and immediately all their little com panions eagerly pressed forward to do the same. The queen on seeing this laughingly held out both her hands to her little admirers. King Humbert stood patiently by for a time and then urged the queen to turn to the ladies and gentlemen awaiting them. But the queen laughingly shook her head. saying: No. no; wait!" And wait she did until her little friends had all kissed her hands.

The after-luncheon speeches are never dull and are often witty and brilliant Women are good raconteurs. and the stories they tell on these oc- casions are amusing, entertaining and refined, without the least tincture of malice. If. as 1t often happens, the people present are old acQuaintances. or near neighbors. they have so many subjects in common and they know one another so well that there Is no lack of fun and pleasantly as the pro- ceedings approach the climax and ths good-by.
 In home life the ladies' luncheon has its uses as, for example, when a daughters engagement is announced. or matron desires to pay graceful compliment to her sons tiancee. The fayors at such luncheon should be sentimental in design, and carry with them thought of Cupid's dominion over youthful life, even though St. Vai- entine's day may be far in the back. ground.
 A woman going abroad for an indef- mite period may invite group of her most intimate friends to sit at her ta- ble and wish her bon voyage. A daugh- ter or granddaughter may take the op- portunity of the birthday of mother to pay her honor and bring to see hec and wish her well few old and we'll loved friends.
 Sometimes old schoolmates gather informally at a luncheon and compare notes about the different lives they have led since they left their. alma mater. In our land and time. girls who spend four years together in college drift widely apart either in profes- sional careers or in marriage. and find their moorings in distant states. Any opportunity that unites them for au hour or two around the table of one or another is hailed with the same de- light that one feels at sea at the sight of another sail or familiar flag.
 Taking 1t all in all no other func- ton surpasses in interest and elasticity the ladies' luncheon. It has taken the place of the old-fashioned tea party, and sends it's guests home with a new gladness and a new stimulus that tend to make life richer, fuller and hap pier

 POLI'
THE souAW MAN"

One of the biggest crowds of the season was at Polls last evening. It was a fashionable audience too, and was drawn there by the opportunity to see William Fayersham in the great New York success, "The Squaw Man. If curtain calls are any indi- cation of the success of a play, then last nights event was grand suc- cess, for after the first three acts re- peated curtain calls were insisted upon by the enthusiastic audience. The star finally condescended to make speech, and this seemed to be what the people wanted. The play itself is pleasing and entertaining, but hardly just the vehicle to show Faversham at his best. However, it seems to please the showgoers gener- ally and so long as it does it will be kept on the boards. The company was only mediocre, although the nu- merous cow-punchers lolled around the stage and murdered the English language in true western style.

The menu, of course, includes deli
 cate viands. daintily prepared and
 deftly served. If the luncheon be
 given in a hotel or other public place,
 there is corps of walters whose training enables them to manage tho changing courses with silence and dex- terity. The president and her party have table on slightly raised pla.- form. A little below this are the ta- bles of the other members of the club and their individual guests. The presl- dent raps with her gavel and indicates the moment for beginning the feast.
 Frequently in women's meetings Of this kind grace is said or sung before any of the food is served. American women being for the most part reyer- ential and earnest and yielding a trib- ute of praise to the Giver of all good when they come together in this social way. As for the refreshments, every woman knows their order from the preliminary course of fruit to the final ice or bonbon. Wine is never intro duced. and the cnly sparkling beverags that foams fin the cup Is some harmless mineral water. Women honor temper ance in their common observances of hospitality.
 The crown of ladies' luncheon Is 10, reached until the very end. when the president. rising with dignity in her place, and with little air of grave lm- portance. raps once more on the table to still the pleasant tumult of voices Instantly a hush falls on the room and eyes are fixed on the woman who. in queenly self-possession. awaits the attention of the company. The presi- dent may or may not be the toast mistress. If that gracious office has been assigned to some one else. ths president introduces her and leaves the carrying out of the programme in her hands. Nothing has been left to accident. speakers and topics. musical numbers and every portion of the ex- ercises having been carefully arranged weeks earlier.

THAT ONE WEAK SPOT.

Kidney sickness robs the back of all it's power and strength. It's hard to lift, to stoop or straighten, and even to get up from chair.
 This indescribable weakness of the back, the endless dull aching that goes with it, are never-failing symptoms Of kidney complaint A bad back Is Ma lures signal of distress, a call for help from the kidneys. The aching bells of dangerous congestion that robs the kidneys of their blood-fltering power, or painful. wasting infammation. There is immediate need for Doan's Kidney Pills, to relieve the pain and heal the diseased kidneys. to ward of more fatal and painful disorders.
 Healthy kidneys keep you well by keeping the blood pure. Sick kidneys keep you sick by failing to purify the blood. This is the cause of many forms of rheumatism, neuralgia and gout; of such nervous troubles as headache, irritahlity. dizzy spells, de pression: of palpitation of the heart. stomach troubles, liver complaint; of la grippe. colds. chills; of half the. aches and ills of humanity. :
 Learn to keep the kidneys we'll. Doan's Kidney Pills will do 1t for you. Grateful residents of this city testify, Their statements prove 1t to you.
