Poor American Women!

Henry James. in Harpers Bazaar.
The man in America may correct his wife
when he can. just mother may correct
her daughter when she dares. but no mere
man may correct mere woman in any
contingency whatever since this under
mines the whole theory of queenship He
has abdicated his right to take his stand
on what pleases him, and can accordingly
but shift 1t all ruefully, in the service of
his mate to those perlous lodges which
represent all the admonitory margin now
left him. In societies other than ours the
male privilege of correction springs, and
quite logically. from the social fact that the
male is the member Of society primarily
listened to-whereby his education, his
speech, his tone. his standards and connec-
tions. his general competence as l have
called it. color the whole air react upon
his companion and establish for her the
principal relation she recognizes. The ques-
ton of her speech-as the simplest illustra-
tion-foods. for instance, my whole conten-
ton with light: just as the question of her
talk follows 1t very close. Supreme thus In
any atmosphere of the liberal education,
the law that the man claiming to be ac-
cepted as civilized shall speak as gentle
man, and vital therefore the testimony he
SO renders.
1t Is from his maintenance of it that the
woman. as a social creature, gets her lead
and her cue and her best sanction for her
maintenance Of hers: since she is never at
all thoroughly well-bred person unless he
has begun by having a sense for it and by
showing her the way.

BEWARE OF BOOT DYES.
New and Insidious Danger Discovered
in Paris.
;pecial Cablegram to The Stal

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, August lot has just been dis
covered in Paris that there is a new dan
ger to public health in boot dyes. case
was reported only a few days ago of a
death having been caused by the poison
contained in dye with which a pair of
colored boots had been blackened. The
director of the Paris municipal laboratory
interviewed on the subject declared that
the danger was very real and very gen.
eral and added that it was one most to be
feared at this particular time of the year
1t appears that for the sake of economy
many people on the approach of summer
get lastSyear's boots which may still be
fit for wear. dyed black or some dark color,
and the substance used for the purpose
being a very poisonous aniline constitutes
a serious danger. Numerous persons, 1t
appears, are thereby partially poisoned.
The heat and persptration in summer time
are liable to cause the feet to absorb the
poison contained in the leather and per-
sons so affected suddenly show the most
alarming symptoms. They are seized with
dizziness, cerebral contagion insues, the
pupils of the eyes are dilated and the
members of the body contract spasmodi-
cally. Their lips become affected with
cyanose the beatings of the heart are ir-
regular the respiration difficult and death
may be the result through a sudden
asphyXiation. 1t is asked who would have
imagined that all of these dangers could
lurk in a few drops of boot dye. In many
instances 1t is said the doctor called to at
tend the case has not even been able to
trace the cause Of the trouble.

VALE TO THE KNIGHTS
SUCCESSFUL SESSION OF THE
CONVENTION AT JAMESTOWN.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

NORFOLK, Va. August TO- 1907.
The twenty-iifth and most notable ma
tional convention in the history of the
knights of Columbus came to an end in the
assembly room of the Pine Beach Hotel
yesterday, when the result of the election
of officers was formally announced An un-
usual amount of business was transacted
by the delegates, and the convention came
to an end amid fine display of fraternal
enthusiasm.
The following roster of national officers
for E190S is given: Edward L. Hearn su-
preme knight. New Haven, Conn; James
A. Flaherty, deputy supreme knight, Phila-
delpnia Pa; Daniel Coiwell, national secre-
tary, New Haven, Conn; =. J. Brady, ma
tional treasurer, Cleveland, Ohio
In spite of the fact that strong cam
paign was waged in the interest Of j. E..
Ewing, national director. of Chicago, ILL.,.
for the supreme knishtship, Edward L..
Hearn was the choice of the delegates on
the first ballot when the election was made
unanimous. This result was not unex-
pected. During the eight years of Mr..
Hearn's tenure of office the knights of CO.
lumbus have had an unprecedented develop
ment in this country and its posse ssions,
Canada and Mexico, no small part of which
is thought to be due to the personal activity
of the orders supreme knight.
A well-known Knight of Columbus de-
clared that Supreme Knight Hearn submit
ted to the convention a notable annual re-
port. which is one of the most epoch-ma rk-
ing documents in the archives of the order.
In fact all the reports tended to happy
retrospection' on the part of the delegates.
Aside from the attractions which the
jamestown exposition offers-and the dele
gates and visiting knights attended in large
numbers. particularly on knights of Co
lumbus day-the Virginia knights played
the role of hosts in capital style.
It is expected that about 900 knights of
Columbus will leave Norfolk today for
Washington, where Sunday they will be
the guests of the knights of the capital

Sheep Grazing In Independence Square


The historic ground of Independence
Square was for short time yesterday
turned into a grazing ground for sheen.
A herd of wool producers. which was short
ly to be slaughtered to provide the hungry
with roasts and chops, gamboled gaily on
the greensward and enjoyed themselves
immensely Business men hurrying through
the square stopped to look at them, wonder
ing at the unusual spectacle.
The explanation was simple. The herd
was being driven from the abattoir at
18th and Race streets to the ferry. 20 be
distributed to dealers in Camden. They
cIattered down Chestnut street until spied
by woman officer of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruilty to Animals. Touched
by the evidences of fatigue that the animals
plainly showed. she begged the drivers to
allow her to tend TO them for n time. Then
she applied to Samuel S. Reeves. superinten-
dent of the square. for permission to allow
them to Craze there for while. He con-
sented. and for half an hour the sheep
thoroughly enjoyed themselves and pre-
sented a picture worthy to be made the
subject of an artists masterpiece.

The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1906-1907, 1907-07-26

The last gasp of the journal is a
weak one and In assuming to pass
a. u joke snch an important and ser
ious matter az the loss of a deed to
city property and failure to ro"ord
1t for three years, brads the journal
man as fool, because he assumes
that the people are FOOLS enough to
swallow his rot. The Press has made
its tight, and even those who were
disposed to criticize 1t now recognize
the fact that it's efforts we're for the
good of the whole people. The
masses of the people know as much
as the Journal man, most of them
more, SO that it's three year old joke
is too stale.

THE BONDS

Now that the efforts Of the Press
have resulted In unearthing the long
lost deed, which lie on it's way, or IN
Rathdrum, TO be recorded, after hav-
ing been hid away for three years IN
the safe deposit vaults of the Bx-
change National bank, there remains
but decree from the district court
saying that the title to the city lot Is
clear--and this matter 10 now being
prepared for submission TO Judge
Wood--when the Press, with all
citizens who favor progressive public
improvements, will boost for bonds.
We have practically gained the point
for which we commended, In the In
terest OF those who pay the taxes, and
when the Judge passes favorably on
the title the Press will DO found
doing its part for new city hall,
because a progressive place like
Occur d'Alene needs such building.
That has never been questioned by
us, bus we did wish TO have all doubt
regarding the title to the lot removed
before the matter became more com
pIicated. This position arose pure
ly from the interest the Press takes
Ia the public good and IL the court
passes favorably we will be found
supporting the Bonding proposition
from the same high motive--the
greatest good to the greatest number.
We have no excuses to offer, or
apologies to make for our position
regarding the title to the lot, be-
cause developments have justified us
and shown that matters needed
airing. The results are beneficial to
the people. With good title to the
lot we believe most Of the Taxpayers
land they are the only persons who
can legally vote on the proposal will
favor the bonds at low rate Of in
terest, to run a period o. years, 30 that
the burden Of payment will be partly
borne BY those who come later to
enjoy the benefits. We would 60
farther IL the payments could be
made annually In small sums and
favor Identifying and adding sub
stantially to the city by system Of
cement side walks. Lasting quality
considered, they are the cheaper and
add all they cost to the value OF the
property. Wooden sidewalks will
do, but they are not good enough
for Occur d'Alene Yet this 10 q
matter to be disposed of later.
II the cours decision on the title
to the city lot Is favorable, we shall
andeavor 10 show our readers that
the boad issue for q city building
will DO a PORTABLE investment for
all property owners and bust ness
men. Our efforts will be based on
facts and figures.
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1906-1907, 1907-07-26

Its pretty serious joke to mis-
lay q deed TO public property for
three years without recording the
same, but that 10 what the Journal
considers 1t, and had the Press not
gone iuto the matter IL is probable
the deed never would have been re.
corded. The people don't care about
having such Jokes perpetrated
on them.

Henry Il. Dixey.


New York's greatest comedy sue
cess of the year 19O5-06, comes to
The Kentucky on Friday night when
Henry Il. Dixey appears in the
dramatization of Harold MacGrath's
novel. 1.-The Man on the Box" It is
a clean cut wholesome, laughable
comedy, with a genuine love story
running through it, and was written
by an American for Americans, pro-
duced by am American manager, and
played by American actors. 1t is in
short the best type of the kind OF
play which appeals to high-class
American audiences. No more hand
some, finished, graceful and artistic
actor than Mr. Henry L. Dixey has
ever appeared here, and the support
ing company, which contains every
member Of the New York cast, will
be headed by Miss Marie Nordstrom.
whose beauty and delightful acting
will be revelation.
