Present Ills Bad Enouah.

While the most sanguine OF conserv.
atives may. In their most hopeful mo-
ments or when smartlng under the is
sues of either individuallsm or cor
pOrate audacity, feel an impulse to try
the prescription of the municipal own
ership doctors. yet recollection of the
examples of municipal employment
with which the past is rife is quite
enough to make one bear the ills we
know about rather than open a Pan
dora's box Of other ills, which once set
free may never again be curbed or re-
boxed.-George w. Dithridge in New

TO LIVE WITHOUT COOKS.
Kansas City Women Adopt Community
Plan Of Providing Meals.

Tired of the trouble their cooks made.
eight west side women of Kansas City
have set out to solving the domestic
help problem, says the New York Sun.
A few days ago each of them dis
charged her cook, locked up her kitch-
en- windows, put the pots and pans and
plates away and joined the Colony
club.
A two story house within block OF
the homes OF all the members was
rented, and Miss Anabel Harf was EN-
ployed as chef. Two other women were
hired to help her They live in the
house.
Each Of the eight families has its
own table, and each furnishes its own
table linen and silver and contributes
its quota of the kitchen utensils. The
chef arranges the menus. At the end
OF each month the cost will be COM
puted, and each family will pay its
proportionate share.
So successful has the experiment
proved already that several other fam
lies want to join.

Washington, June 1O.-That the
Japanese of the Pacific coast and the
Progressives. a political party of Jap
an, have entered into an alliance
which has the earmarks Of an inter-
national conspiracy, with the over
throw Of the present ministry in Jap
an and the annulment of the clause
In the immigration bill excluding Jap
anese coolie labor from continental
'nited States as the ultimate objects,
5 learned authoritatively here to-
=. The preliminary steps in this
cheme, II is said, will be to induce
the Toxic government to recall Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador
to the United States, and to demand
an apology and perhaps an indemnity
from this government for the alleged
acts OF violence against Japanese sub
jects residing in San Francisco.
With this end in view representa-
tlves OF the faction hostile to the Sal
onji ministry have been in Washing
ton to consult with the Japanese am
bassador and the state department Of
ficials regarding the Objectionable
clause in the immigration bill, the
California school question and the re-
cent riots in San Francisco. The re-
port which they have sent to Toxic,
1t IL alleged, will form the basis Of a
systematic campaign to bring about
anti-American demonstrations in Jap
an and to force Foreign Minister Hay
ASH, IL possible, to demand indemnity
and an apology on account of Jap
anese disturbances in San Francisco.
Thousands of dollars are being rails
ed by the Japanese of the Pacific coast
to carry out the compact they have
entered into with the Progressive par
ty Of Japan for the overthrow Of the
Saionja ministry, the annulment OF the
exclusion clause in the immigration
bill and the guarantee of the NATURAL
cation rights Of the Japanese subjects
residing In this country. These addi-
tional facts in the international plot
are vouched for in semi-official circles.
The enormous fund which is being
collected will be used to arouse feel
ing in the Japanese empire antago-
nistic to the American government.

THREE DAY OCEAN LINER.
Naval Engineer Predicts Monster Ship
Going Forty Miles an Hour.

J. Il. Oldham, naval engineer, be
lieves that the limit in tie size of
ocean crossing steamers has been by
no means reached, and in perhaps less
than twenty-five years the three-day
transatlantic liner will be going some.
says the New York World.
The rate Of speed will be forty miles
an hour, an the length Of the ship
LOO feet only about 400 feet more
than the length of the Lusitania and
the Mauritania. The beam of the
coming monster will be 1875 feet and
her depth eighty-one feet
There will be sixty boilers, with
100000 feet of heating surface and
twelve smokestacks," continues the
engineer a special feature will be
the extra large pumping power, with
boilers and pumps located we'll above
the water line.
II propose that certain compartments
containing $500 tons shall be kept full
of water. 50 that in event of ground
ing they could be emptied in twelve
minutes, enabling the ship in most
cases to float off, as $500 tons would
represent one foot of water"
To compensate for this loss In freight
space the engineer suggests an extra
tax on the traveller of $25, which he
would he doubtless glad to pay. The
chief peril in navigating this coming
mastodonic product of mans genius
would be for smaller craft which
might happen to get in its way. The
big ship while going at top speed
would exert an energy equal to forty
railroad trains, or practically 3,25O,OOO
foot tons.

most wicked act. Should diplomacy

self clean for.
He could no longer fight off the
truth 1t was facing him now in all its
nakedness, mOnstrOus to obscenity, de-
! manding its due measure from his
own souls blood. He aroused himself,
shiVering, and looked out into the
room where the shadows lay heavy,
and from whence came the breathing
of the sleepers. He picked up the now
Sputtering candle, set in its hole bored
in a block of wood, and held it ur for
last look at the little wOman-child.
He was full Of an agony Of wonder as
he gazed, Of piteOuS questioning why
this should be as it was. The child
stirred and flung one arm over her
eyes as if to hide the light He put
out the candle and set it down. Then
STOPPING over, he kissed the pillow

lightly to the door He had come to

For the first time in his life that
night, he was afraid to pray,-afraid
even to give thanks that others were
sleeping in the room with him so that
he could hear their breathing and
know that he was not alone.
He was up betimes to press on to

dreading what was still in store for
him. For sooner or later he would

conscious, at certain terrible moments
OF awakening, that others were near
him. He heard their breathing, or in
the silence a fires light had shown
him sleeping face, the lines of a
form, or an arm tossed out. What
would happen on the night he found
himself alone, he knew not-death, or
the loss Of reason.
His way lay through the Meadows
yet he hardly realized this until he
