his little brother, years of age, from

which the brother, Louie Mego, had fall

younger child failed to clear the stream
and could not get out. Davie could not
pull his brother from the mud and water,
so he calmly sat down by the edge of the
stream, took hold of his brothers cloth

the long night in drenching storm. At
daylight he had succeeded in getting his
brother out of the stream, but the little
fellow was so cold from remaining in the
water he could neither walk nor talk.

CONGRESSMAN DESTROYS SELF.
Pennsylvania Member Commits Sui
eide In Washington Club.

Representative Robert Adams of the
Second Congressional District of Penn
sylvania died at Emergency hospital in
Washington, d. c., as the result of
pisto! shot fired through his mouth into
his head with suicidal intent. The act
was committed between 6 and O'Clock
Friday AT the chambers of the Me Iro-
politan Club, where Mr.. Adams had re-
sided for several years. 1t was not until
. o'clock, however, that he was found
by Horace Clark, one of the negro bell

at that hour to carry hot water to the
room. Upor opening the door Clark
found Mr.. Adams, entirely nude, sitting
upright in IN armchair. He Immediately
summoned the attaches of the house and
a doctor at ouce was sent for. Mr.. Ad-
ans then was unconscious and the ply

hospital, where he died. Robert Adams
was one of the most popular Representa-
ives IN Congress, and he has been identi-
NED with many matters of worldwide i'm
portance. His position as ranking mem
Der of the majority, after the chairman
on the House committee on foreign af-
talrs, has, owing to the i'll health Of Mr..
Hit, made it necessary for him to large

committee, and he was thus brought into
close contact with President Roosevelt
and Secretaries Hay, Root and Taft. His
suicide was caused by financial reverses.

cuRBlNe THE CORPORATIONS.
How the Railway Rate BID Supple
ments Previous LegfSIntion

The passage Of the railway rate bill
puts the capstone upon a structure of
laws designed TO check corporate ruth
lessness. The first of the series of bills
with this end IN view was the interstate
commerce law. enacted in 1887. 1t was
at best a feeble measure because it was
shorn Of its effect in large part by design
ing men acting in the interest of corpora
tions. The commission was given the
power to declare but not the authority TO
enforce its full decree. The commission
could upset a rate fixed by a railroad but
could rot supply another. The commits
sion was houted openly by the railroads,
defied in the courts and its decisions were
often upset. Yet all the time it was do
ing good work for the people and was
calling attention TO evils that existed and
that could be cured by adequate legisla-
ton.
The next great enactment in the same
line was the Sherman antitrust law of
1890. For a long time it remained a
dead letter, practically, on the statute
books. The corporations laughed at it.
Gigantic trusts were formed and carried
on their operations openly and boldly.
The people complained from time to time,
but the trusts paid no attention to their
mutterings and went gayly along with the
big game. Finally, the boldest stroke of
all was attempted. The great Northern
Securities merger was foated. 1t had for
object the controlling by two or three
men of the entire system of railway trans
pOrtation between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast from the Canadian
border to the Gulf About that time At
torney General Knox, in the Department
of Justice, tumbled over the revised stat
utes and picked out the Sherman act, un-
der authority of which he went after that
merger, hammer and tongs. The Supreme
Court upheld his contention and demol-
ished the merger. Since then other trusts
have been attacked and to-day half doz-
en- of the great combinations are on the
rack.
The next legislative act in the same
direction was the Elkins anti-rate law of
1903. The Eikins act is supposed to have
many of the evils of rebating,

| ENJOYS and the gorgeous toilets of the
women made dazzling spectacle.
Frederick Wallingford Whitridge, the
American envoy, and his staff were
among the first to arrive. Mrs Collier,
wife of the American minister, was the
only American woman inside the church.
King Alfonso and his bride left the
church at 1890 p. m. The announce
ment of the wedding by the firing Of
artillery salutes was wildly acclaimed
by the people.
The route of the wedding cortege
was designed to give Princess Ena q
glimpse of all that is best of Madrid in
coming and going to the church, and at
the same time to give the people an OPP
portunity to see their new queen. The
main route traversed the very heart of
the city, beginning at the west at the
Plaza de Oriente, facing the royal pal
ace; passing through the Gale del Are
nal and the Gale del Alcala and the
Carerra de San Jeronimo. These are
among the great arteries of Madrid,
broad and lined with fine buildings
Midway in the route is the Puerta del
Sol or Gate of the Sun, and further on
that Mecca of all visitors to Madrid
the Prado, now transformed into some
of the stateliest government buildings
and museums, including the famous
Prado gallery.
Practically the same route was ira
versed on the way back from the
church, but there were so many differ
ent branches of the pageant-some with
the king alone, some with the brides
retinue, others with the queen mother
and other branches of the royal house
hold, and the innumerable suites of for
eign princes-that all Madrid had an
opportunity to see something of The
spectacle.
Wedding Fetes Are Lavish.
The fetes for the kings wedding
were prepared on an unusual scale of
lavishness. They were divided in three
parts, the first including the family
fetes celebrated at the royal palace by
the members of the royal family: sec
ond, the fetes offered to the visiting
princes, ENJOYS and high fGnetionaries
and, third, the popular fetes organized
for the people. These began on the
wedding day, lasting week or more
The royal fetes included banquets. din
ners and grand ball, to which only
the representatives of royal houses hav-
ing family alliances with Spain were
hidden. The official fetes to foreign en-
voys and high functionaries included re-
eeption and banquet at the royal palace.

tie Royal Theater, reception and ball at

The expanded volume of distribution

The feature which most struck. me was
the mutual good will and fraternal inter-
course between American and Anglican
congregations, which have been more in
innate than they used to be, and are be-
coming more so.
''The sects and the hostilities of relig-
ions which were to be noted around the
world century ago have been gradually
softened. l was most struck with this in
Egypt. / travelled on the Nile thirty
years ago, and nothing impressed me
more on my recent trip than the changed
attitude of the Arabs toward the Chris
tians. The oriental changes more slowly
than we, but their attitude is now more
tolerant and more kindly. A century ago,
when the Christian was to the Moham-
medan Christian dog, the present feel
ing would have been inconceivable."
The bishop says he noted that as a
result of Christian influence the whole
brute creation in Egypt is now much bet
ter treated than ever before.

Phrase Method in heading.

The idea of teaching children to read
phrase by phrase, or sentence by sentence
at the outset, instead of the old-fashion-
cd alphabet method or the present word
system, is advanced by Director De Croly
of the Brussels institute of special in
struction, according to a translation for
the Literary Digest. He argues that we
should first give the child a complete idea
comprised in a phrase or sentence. He
says that in the course of natural devel-
opment a child often uses a phrase before
the words composing it. Even when the
child uses single word it often has the
force of statement, and it is said that ne
will decompose words and phrases of his
own accord at the proper time.
