Julia Ward Howe.

Boston must share with New York the
| privilege of claiming that remarkable
woman, JULIA WARD HOWE, who has
just celebrated her eighty-eighth birth
day in extraordinary vigor Of mind and
body. She was born in the old city Of
| New York in Marketfeld street, which
runs from Broad, just south of Beaver,
to the Produce Exchange court; on Mar
ketield street are still to be seen ancient
brick houses Of the time of Mrs. HowB's
birth in 1919. Her father, SAMUEL WARD,
was the first president Of the Bank OF
| Commerce and a founder Of the Univer-
sity of the City Of New York. In the
fine mansion which he built at the corner
Of Broadway and Bond street and filed
| with objects Of art JULIA WARD spent
her girlhood, and there she met the
social lions, literary and professional, OF
| that day. The Ward mansion is gone,
| and in it's stead towers q building whose
| gilded signs proclaim the commercial
| instinct Of another race
Boston adopted JULIA WARD when she
married DR.. SAMUEL @. HOWE, who had
| served az surgeon with the Greeks in
| their war for independence in 1S24-27.
A touching reminder of that unselhsh
| devotion was the bowl of roses which
the Greeks Of Boston sent Mrs. HOWE on
her eighty-eighth birthday: her distin-
guished husband had been dead thirty
| three years.
Long after JULIA WARD HowE's lab0rB
for abolition and woman suffrage are for
gotten her fame will endure as the suthor
Of that inspired hymn which stir the
blood yet like a trumpet peal. She has
| described how it came to be written and
to be named The Battle Hymn Of the
| Republic" During the civil wal she
went out from Washington with the Rev.
DR.. McCLARK to witness a review Of
| Union troops. II was q red letter day
for her, and the story Of her inspiration
| has a dramatic quality which forms a
fitting prelude to the patriotic lines:

what the Mohonk Conference Did.

To THE EDITOR OF TIL SUS-Sir: In your
news columns OF May rs was published the
outline of what purports TO be a treaty pre-
pared by the Mohonk Conference. to be sub
mitted to the peace conference at The Hague.
As chairman of the business committee OF
the Conference I am able to say that no such
treaty was prepared or even discussed. The
paragraph you published undoubtedly ema-
mated from a person OF unsound mind. 1t is
calculated to convey the impression that the
conference was held at a lunatio asylum
instead Of at Lake Mohonk. What the Mo-
following platform:
The thirteenth Lake Mohonk Conference on inter
national arbitration recognizes with profoundgrau-
tude the development of those forces which are
making for international peace through interna-
tional Justice. The promotion of intercourse,
friendship and amty among the nations, the
organization OF international bodies In commerce
science and philanthropy, the demand for higher
standards OF international morality are but prciudcs
70 greater harmony and unity among the peoples Of
the world.
We mention with satisfaction among the events
OF the last twelve months the holding Of the Pan
American Congress. the visit of Secretary Root 10
the South American republics. the organization In
the United states OF a branch society for internA-
tional Cancellation; the International conference for
the revision OF the Geneva Convention OF 1884, the
holding at Washington OF the hrst annual meeting
OF the American Society of international Law,
organized In 1905 at the Mohonk Conference and
the publication of its organ. the AnSredn journal
OF International Lar: the formation Of the Japan
Society for the cultivation OF friendly relations be-
tween Japan and the United States; the increasing
disposition OF nations 70 assist each other In time
OF famine and disaster. and the holding In New
York Of a national arbitration and peace congress
OF far reaching influence.
The meeting of the sec nd Hague Conference
next month marks another epoch In the history Of
intern ational development. We note with graft
hca,ion that twenty -one American republics will
participate therein. We urge as the most imme-
diSte and important action 70 be taken by this Sec
ond Hague Conference the following measures:
/. a provision for stated meetings Of the Hague
Conference.
2. Such changes in the Hague court as. may be
necessary 10 establish a dennite judicial tribunal
questions.
3. A general arbitration treaty for the settlement
OF international disputes.
4. The establishment OF the principle Of the in
volatility Of innocent private property at sea in
time of war.
6. 4 declaration 10 the effect that there should
be no armed intervention for the collection of pri-
vate claims whsn the debtor nation 10 NilnnG %
submit such claims 10 arbitration.
We commend, In accordance with our resolution
Of last year, the consideration by the Hague ooh.
ference OF a plan for the naturalization OF ocean
trade routes.

ALUMNI ON SECOND OUTING
Business High Graduates Journey
Down the River.
Showers Again Interfere with the
Manages to Have a Lovely Time.

Determined not to be outwitted by the
weather man. who, on June @, the date
of the second annual excursion of the
Alumni Association of the Business High
School, furnished the coolest and wettest
day OF the summer, that organization of
lads and lassies yesterday gave q special
excursion 10 Marshall Hail.
And everybody had a perfectly grand
time. though TO be sure there were dur
ing the afternoon a couple Of heavy show
ers. For that reason the athletic events
were not pulled of as scheduled. This.
however. did not serve TO dampen the
enthusiasm Of the nerry-makers. though
everything else on the grounds felt the
effects Of the moisture.
The evening boat carried down the
largest crowd OF the day, as many OF
the members Of the association are now
engaged in applying the methods of the
Business High" in the counting houses
and various marts of trade. Business
cares were cast aside, however as the
Manchester swung down stream and
minds reverted to thoughts of the even
ing's enjoyment. the rendition by the
orchestra of school Days" an especially
selection. calling to mind also
the joys and triumphs Of the past.
The evening was spent in dancing and
in patronizing the various amusements. A
run was made upon the ice cream parlor,
the girls Of the association showing an
extreme fondness for that delectable deli
cacy, which was catered to without hest
tation by the masculine alumnae.
The excursion was honored by the pres
ence of Gen. Kahn. the Persian Minister.

E. ". PARKER TAKES CHARGE
Installed as Head Of Mining Divi-
sion of Geological Survey.
DIR. David T. Day, the Retiring Chief,
Is Presented with Seal Ring
by the STAFF.

Edward Wheeler Parker yesterday was
installed in charge Of the Division OF Min
ing and Mineral Resources, OF the Geolog-
lcal Survey, and his first act in his
new Office consisted in summOning the
force Of the Division Of Mining and Min
eral Resources into the room of the ex-
chief. DR.. David T. Day. where they pre-
scented him with a seal ring bearing the
crest which has characterized the letter
paper Of this division of the survey for
many years. 1t consists OF the crossed
hammers Of the mining profession sur
mounted by a quill indicative Of the
statistical portion OF their duties, and a
crucible representing the metallurgical
branch.
In making the presentation speech. Mr..
Parker spoke feelingly Of the regret Of
the division In parting with Dr. Day as
their leader. and reioiced at the fact that
he is to continue as one Of the arms Of
the service in connection with the petro-
leum work. DR.. Day, in accepting the
ring recalled the fact that he was born
a month after the discovery Of petroleum
in Pennsylvania, and that the desire to
investigate crude petroleum had been the
incentive which had induced him to 90
through Johns Hopkins University while
making his living in mercantile pursuits.
and that It had been very tempting to be
as close 20 the cousummation OF his ideal
for twenty -one years without giving his
attention TO this hobby TO the neglect OF
other duties.
DR.. Day, In turning his attention TO the
investigation Of petroleum. viii not only
take charge Of the statistical work. but
will conduct a systematic examination
into the relative value Of the different
crude oils produced in different parts
Of the country and gee what can be ex-
Dected OF them. as the refining Industry

Beyond all question, the scientific side
Of the petroleum industry and studies
into the constitution of petroleum oils
has been very fragmentary, and II is
DR.. Days hope that these can be rounded
out into a fun and comprehensive investi-
cation. To this end Dr. Day hopes to
leave for Roumania to attend the Third
international Congress on Petroleum dur
Ing the first two weeks of September
