BROKEN PLEDGE
COSTS PLACE
Jesse M. coTTRELL LOST HIS
NEWSPAPER JOB WHEN PRO-
PRIEToR LEARNED VOTE
ON CHARTER.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 18.-As
a result of his broken pledges Rep
resentative Jesse NJ Cottrell, of Knox
vile. finds himself without a news
paper position, and, in relating his
troubles to friends, Saturday and Sun
day he wept at the situation.
Mr.. Cottrell was the city editor of
the Knoxville Sentinel, the editor and
proprietor of which, George F. Milton,
was one of the staunchest friends
Mayor Malone and his friends ever
had. In addition to this, Mr.. Cottrell
owed a debt of gratitude to City Judge
A C. Floyd, of Memphis, who started
him in the newspaper work.
Time and again, it is said, Cottrell
promised to vote against the charter
bill. Up to a few minutes before
fine legislature convened Friday morn
ing he assured those who asked him
that he would vote against it. His en-
ployer. Mr.. Milton, made two trips to
Nashville to hold Cottrell in line, and
was so certain that he would vote all
right that he placed his vote as sure"
against the bill.
But certain influences got to work
on Cottrell, and when his name was
called he shouted AYE" in a manner
that bolstered up other fellow Repub-
licans who had promised to vote
against the bill, and they followed him
in the affirmative.
When the vote was telegraphed TO
the Sentinel, 1t is said that Mr.. Mil
ton Immediately sent back message
to Cottrell discharging him instantly IL
was not that he voted for the bill, but
that Cottrell had so fiagrantly broken
faith with his friends, it Is SAID that
was responsible 10 rthe trouble.
It is reported that the ripperites VIII
find solace for CottrelPs tears In an
other Job.

CANCER CURED
BY Application of Fresh Egg-Chl
caqo Doctors Claims.

CHICAGO, H. March 14.-Dr, Har'
Ian Trask, of this city, claims to have
made a complete cure of serious can
Ger with only using the albumen and
inner skin of fresh egg
After the cancer was removed the
inner skin of the eggshell was used
to graft over the open wound to re-
place the diseased skin.
The operation was performed sew
eral weeks ago upon Frank Johnson,
Superintendent of the Piano and Or
gan Supply Company, OF this city, VINO
lives at 1449 Newport avenue.
Johnson asserts that the cancer had
started in the form of mole that had
formed itself nthe forehead directly
above the bridge of the nose, over 70
years ago. From a mole an epithe-
iona or skim cancer developed. 1t
consisted merely of slight skin irri-
tation, and no attention was given the
Independent cancer until year ago,
when the skin opened, and a pro
nounced case of carcinoma had be-
come evident. -
Dr. Trask secured freshly laid
egg and extracted the albumen. The
white of the egg was spread with an
oxygen PREPARATION containing salt
and cocaine and applied to the cancer
which was rapidly spreading, as a
plaster.
After repeated applications and the
handages had been removed it was
found that all that remained OF the
former cancer was a small red spot
about half an inch in diameter.

How to Speak Correctly.
From Harper's Baza:

Many people, for example. fairly well edu-
Gated people. too, don't know how to pro-
nounce the letter that follows 3. And as
for spelling the name of aitch some Of these
people would be astonished to hear that the
letter had a name. The letter that follows
v is frequently pronounced as If 1t were
double-yer instead Of double-u. A fault,
often noticed among singers and actors, is
the giving of a fictitious value to the latter
l, which makes 1t sound very like the 1tal-
ian liquid doubled
Say the alphabet aloud and when you
have finished ask yourself II every letter
would be perfectly distinct and Ineligible
to anyone who might be listening. Here
lies the fundamental principle Of all speak
ing; every element of every spoken word
should be distinct and Ineligible In re-
peating the alphabet each letter ought to
make a perfect escape from the lips of the
speaker. Does 1t make such an escape when
you say it7 Do you send 1t out vigorously?
Watch yourself as you speak each letter and
see what happens to 1t. If it gives you the
sense of hanging about your lips. or if 1t
does not seem absolutely to separate itself
from YOU or If 1t drops into your throat,
say 1t again and will it to go boldly out.
Try TO think Of 1t being outside your
self as a thing apart. When you succeed
in thinking Of 1t in this way. If you don't
care for words, or if you have never
thought about them, you will have taken
the first step toward the mastery of good
speech. To speak well you must love words
and their elements. You must love ind-
vidual letters.

Society and the Home.
From Harper's Bazaar.

It is a singular thing that to stand on
ones own rights in which 1t would appear
that there ought to be certain Justice,
seems almost always in fact to be q very
narrowing process, death-dealing to any
fine enlightenment. The special structure
itself rests on the consideration Of the
rights of others, and all social life in the
home rests on it. Nothing is in itself good
for anything except in the good that we
get out of it. so that the most beautifully
furnished house. the most finely cultured
people, may not make for anything vital.
anything that stimulates the imagination or
the heart or the intellect; they may not give
any of the spiritual comfort which Is in
formed with heart-blessing interest No
one who goes to such a house gets any
thing from 1t, as household. but food and
drink, and comfortable chairs. and outside
conversation. There Is nothing more to
give-you could get the same in club or
hired drawing room. Yet the smallest liV-
ing room may have that aspect of home life
in It which shows it to be the real thing
and q power-a power because the action
and retroaction Of intimate and sympathet-
ic and unselfish interest among the mem
bers of a family generate some spiritual
thing which they cannot keep to themselves
which Is greater than themselves. We all
know the difference between the person
who is conventionally delightful in society
and the person who Is delightful In society
because she is delightful at home

likewise the home land Of the book plate.
The earliest dated wood cut OF accepted

INCURABLE PARALYSIS.

The Disease Sir Henry Campbell-Ran-
herman Would Bring on the Lords.
From the London Telegraph.
If Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman has
his way the house of lords. as an integral
part Of the constitution, will not, indeed,
be killed. but 1t will have its spinal cord
cut and be reduced to a state Of incurable
paralysis. Peers may receive summons
to sit in the painted chamber and may be
commanded to wear their coronets and
stately trappings, may continue to be
saluted as your graces' or Your lord
ships" but in their legislative and par
liamentary capacity they will be carried
into the house as powerless and as help
less If they were wax effgies In Madame
Tussaud's exhibition. That this description
Is no exaggeration may be proved by
examining a simple and not improbable
hypothesis. Let us suppose that the pill
based upon this resolution is carried that
by law the power of rejection or alteration
by the lords of a bill passed by majority
in the house of commons is so restricted
that in any one parliament the measure
must be passed II the popular chamber
insists. in spite of the protests OF the peers.
Let us further assume that the present
government goes to the country on this
policy and asks for and-what Is almost
Observation-Disclosures a mandate to carry 1t
out; and-still more notwithstanding the
house of lords commits hari-kari. What
brings in a bill to repeal the septennial
act, the lords reject it the first time, and
1t is sent up second time upon the eve of
the date of the normal dissolution Of par
Lament. The lords again reject the
scheme and then, in virtue of the re-
striction act. the bill is passed and the
house Of commons constitutes itself a long

mandate against the house of lords. Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman introduces a
measure to disestablish and disendow the
Church Of England Again the lords re-
ject 1t; it is passed a second time in the
commons, with such provisions as will
enable the work of confiscation and spoil

SAVAGE FILIPINO TRIBE.
Christian Heads Price That Must Be
Paid for nongot Bride.

From the Manila American.
There Is one wild warlike tribe in the
Philippines that has stubbornly refused Tor
centuries to become attracted or assimilated
by the Christian Inhabitants
Thse people are known as the 1longots
and are found in the mountains near Baier.
This tribe comes within the Jurisdiction OF
Tayabas, and according to Gov. Quezons
report there 10 one section north Of Dagoan
inhabited by these people where no Chris
tan has ever penetrated and where the
sovereignty Of Spain or the United States
has never been acknowledged. Gov. Quezon
says;
tains of Baler, from Dipaculan. Narabasin
and Dinadianan to Isabella. toward the
north and from the mountains OF san Jose
de CaSgaran as far as Pantapahsah anu
Carrangalan, toward the west.
They are ferocious race, always on the
lookout for an opportunity to Kill the In
habitants of every other settlement.
THE road between Pantabansan ana
Baler Is wont to be the scene of these at
tacks on the part of these infidels on Chris
tan Filipinos.
During the time Of Spanish government
troops were wont to be sent to the noun
tains to punish the Ilongots when they
assassinated Christian Filipinos, and then
the former would either surrender or re.
main quiet for some time, paying tax OF
20 CentimOS tOr edCn lndie Wv CT
eighteen and under fifty, collectlble In to-
baoco leaves. as they had no money.
Then their local authorities were ap-
pointed from among their number. Practl-
cally however, these authorities appointed
by the Spanish government were never
acknowledged or recognized by the lnhapl-
tants Of each settlement, those really rec
ognized as such being the leaders whose
valor and great ferocity Inspired terror In
ali others The Iongots of San Jose, d.
paculan Diarabasin and Dagcan were the
ones subjugated by the Spanish, and as no
Christian has ever been there, their number
cannot be estimated. but it is known that
| they are more numerous than the 1longots
who were subjugated, from the information
given by the latter.

Another Warship on the Lakes.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Great Britain has kindly consented to
permit this country to maintain warship
on the Great Lakes for naval training pur-
poses. To many persons 1t may seem
strange that such permission should have
to be requested, and even those who know
that there is treaty preventing either
nation from having more than revenue YES
sells on the lakes may not understand what
is the reason for it.
The present stipulation goes back to the
treaty of Client, signed Christmas eVe 1914.
That treaty ended the war, but on its face
it did not settle any of the issues Wnlch
brought about that contest. The British
orders in council preventing our trade with
the continent except through Great Britain
was a great grievance. In many respects
it was the most important, since 1t almost
destroyed our commerce, which at that
time was comparatively greater than ever
before or since. AS a neutral we were
getting the carrying trade OF the world
until Napoleon and the British ministry in
terfered. But the issue which made most
impression on the popular nina was that
of the impressment of American seamen.
At that time Great Britain did not recog-
nize the right of any of her citizens TO eX-
pa triation. Although thousands of Britons
were naturalized in this country, Great
Britain treated them as her own subjects.
Her naval vessels stopped any merchant
ships and took off not only British citizens
and those who had been naturalized here,
but when the demand for men was great
took thousands Of American-oorn citizens
and forced them into her navy. This was
the final cause of the war, as the orders In
council were revoked.
But the treaty said nothing OF either
contention. 1t simply restored all terri
tory to it's original ownership and provided
against war vessels on the lakes The re-
sion around the lakes was the scene OF the
hardest fighting Of the war and it brought
about SO many extraordinary conditions
that both nations agreed to stop building
Warships there entirely. The other issues
were settled later by separate treaties.
