PEACE RESOLUTIONS.
National Congress Recommends
a Permanent Hague Court.
FRANCE HoNoRs CARNEGIE.

ironmaster Gets Legion of Honor
Cross and Is Called "a Citizen of
the World" - Women Have Their
Innings.
New York, April 23.-There was a
general exodus of peace delegates from
this city today. All were unit in eu-
Iogizing the moral effect Of the first
convention of the national arbitration
Gnd peace congress. The latter ended
ia dramatic fashion in the banquet
room of the Hotel Astor when Baron
Sl'EstourneIles de Constant, the special
representative of the French republic,
tied around the neck of Andrew Car
negie bright scarlet silk ribbon from
which depended the grand cross of the
Legion of Honor. In performing this
function Baron d'Estournelles declared
that Mr.. Carnegie was now "a citizen
of the world"
Baron d'Estournelles tied the broad
silk ribbon so tight around the neck of
Mr.. Carnegie that it came up close un-
der his white whiskers and gave him
an odd look The "little father" of the
peace congress was nightly tickled
with the honor conferred upon him, so
much so that his speech of thanks was
somewhat confused.
The comforting of the decoration fol-
lowed speeches by Lord Grey, govern
or of Canada; the British ambassador,
James Bryce; Archbishop Ireland and
other notables.
The Resolutions.
Earlier IN the day the peace congress
had concluded the serious work which
brought the delegates together by
adopting resolutions which will. be
urged upon the coming conference at
The Hague by the American represent
atives.
The resolutions recommended, among
other things, that The Hague confer
ence shall hereafter be permanent
Institution; that The Hague court shall
be open to all nations of the world;
that a general treaty of arbitration for
ratification of all the nations shall be
drafted by the coming conference pro-
viding for the reference to The Hague
court of international disputes which
cannot be adjusted by diplomacy; that
the United States government urge up
ON the congress action looking to the
limitation Of armament; that the con-
ference extend to private property at
sea immunity from capture in war.
The resolutions speak highly in praise
of President Roosevelt, of Secretary
Root and the prime minister of Great
Britain for the stand they have taken
Ia favor of a settled policy of peace
among the nations.
President Mary r. Woolley of Mount
Holyoke college, Jane Adams of Chi
cago, Ellen NJ. Henrotin of the Wo-
mems Industrial Trades Union league
and other noted women used up an en-
tire session of the congress with re-
cital of what their sex has done in
bringing universal amity near reallza-
ton.
The only note of discord at the con-
gress came when James w. Van
Cleave, a delegate, created a storm of
disapproval by a repetition of Wash
ington's "The best way to preserve
peace is to be prepared for war" and
the efforts of City Superintendent of
Schools Maxwell to suppress w. T.
Stead. Both episodes apparently dis
pleased the audience.

AERoNAUT STOPS IN MIDAIR.
BalIoonist's Machine Falls 1,40o Feet
and Then Stopped.

Newark, N. j., April 23.-John Mack,
a balloonist is suffering from the re-
suit of an experience he had at Hill
side park, where he made an ascen-
sion before about 1900 persons. Be
cause the parachute did not work prop
erly he nearly lost his life. He had
gone up fully 1000 feet in the air when
he prepared to descend Grasping his
parachute, which was one that he had
never tried before, he let himself go,
expecting his parachute to open by the
time he had dropped 100 feet. 1t fail
ed to open, however, and the balloonist
shot down toward the earth like a
shot. &3l&
When about 600 feet from the ground
the parachute fiared open, and, with
the aeronaut hardly his hold
after the sudden stop, it swung back
and forth and with gradually lessen
ing speed descended to the ground,
landing on the Erie tracks at Washing
ton avenue. When Mack landed he
was too weak to talk.

HOT WEATHER PREVAILS.
How to Keep the Kitchen Cool an,
Comfortable in Midsummer.


Many a housewife is wondering how
she will pass through the coming sum-
mer months with the stove she well
knows will make the kitchen unbear-
ably hot-to say nothing OF the dirt,
dust and ashes that will add to the
discomfort.
There is way out of it ala way
that not only lessons the work and
keeps the kitchen cool, but that also
reduces fuel expense. This conyen-
ience, comfort and economy is all eff
fected by the New Perfection Wick
Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove, an oil
stove so superior to other makes that
it is fast replacing the coal and wood
range, the old-fashioned oil stove, and
in many cases the gas stove.
Anyone who has had to wait ten or
fifteen minutes for the fire to get
started will appreciate the New Per-
fection, which gives a strong working
flame at moment of lighting. Blue
Flame" means the hottest and cleanest
flame produced by any stove. The
flame is always under immediate con-
troll and can be raised OF lowered in
stantly. The convenience of this will
be understood when it is considered
that while the flame OF one burner is
boiling the kettle or roasting a large
Joint, that of another can be reduced
to simmering point--in this way en-
abling the housewife to cook variety
of dishes at one time.
Then the comfort Of it. While the
flame of the New Perfection is intense
ly hot, yet the heat is not thrown off
into the kitchen because it is concen-
trated by blue-enameled chimneys.
Another home comfort is the Rayo
Lamp, which produces light Of un-
usual brightness, yet soft and mellow
Ia light that will rot hurt the eyes.
The Rayo Lamp can be used in any
room. whether it be library, dining
room, parlor or bedroom. 1t is highly
ornamental, being made Of brass
throughout and beautifully nickeled.
Every lamp is warranted and makes
valuable and handsome addition to any
home.
The New Perfection Wick Blue
Flame Oil Cook-Stove and the RayC
Lamp are two real essentials to home
comfort. Their easy operation, abso-
Lutte safety and handsome appearance
commend them wherever stoves and
! lamps are used.

The fattening value of grains de-

and starch One per cent of oil is con-

barley is richer in albuminoids and is
therefore more valuable than corn for
