What Words Can Do.

ANY one who swears," declared the
bishop of Carlisle, "manifests the beg
garliness of his vocabulary" The Con-
cord Patriot puts it in this fashion:
People swear because they do not
know the possibilities of plain Eng
lish or have not the skill to manipulate
1t so that it will yield the amount Of
fire they want. You can do almost
anything with common words. No
matter how tame and lifeless they

divorce from Minnie Meeker, and be
blameS all his troubles to his bald head.
The story which he took to the judge
caused some merriment in the court
room, where several baldheaded men
were waiting to be called as witnesses
in other cases. Although the technical
charge is desertion, Meeker attributed
the trouble to his lack of hair. He told
the court his wife left him in 1901.

Judge Patton. Another man in the
case?"
Nope" responded Meeker, placing
his hand on his bald head This was
the cause of our trouble. Before my
wife deserted me my hair began to fall
out, and finally l was almost completely
bald. Well, Minnie wanted ne to buy
a wig, but l objected to wearing one
and said So"
"And you refused to buy the wig?"
asked the court
Yes, that was it, and my wife then
began nagging at me until we quar-
relied about it."

the judge placed his hand on his own
head thoughtfully. "Yes, | am begin

XXI YlRO ISHII
 MAKES HIS REPORT
JAPANESE COMMISSIONER TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES RELATIVE TO LABOR AND IMMIGRATION.

Tokio, December 5.-KilSi Yiro Ishii, chief the Japanese bureau of commerce, who a few days ago returned from his visit to the United States and Canada,
 where he was sent to investigate the immigration problem, gathered represent
 atives of the TolSio newspapers around
 him at the foreign office this evening and
 made 8 statement regarding his mission
 abroad. He said that there were two
 classes of Japanese in America-day la
 borers, of whom there were 15,0O0, and agriculturists. It was against the inn
 migration of the former that objection
 was recommended. He found that many of this class were desired by employers,
 but others said their methods of living
 were objectionable. The Japanese agri- culturists generally were successful.
 Baron Ishii described the existing eco- homie conditions in. America and the
 method of state self-government in the United States.
 He said that between trusts and labor | unions the middle class of Americans and foreign laborers suffered, declaring that , union labor was largely controlled by un- ! reasoning persons, their attitude being al-
 most that of tyrants, and they were liable l to destroy anything standing in their way. Japanese engaged in agriculture as land | owners or lessees.' said Baron Ishii. "re- quire few of the best class of their countrymen as laborers, but the govern ment of Japan has been limiting the em- igration of this class"

CHICAGO WANTED
 FOR CONVENTION
KANSAS CITY IS WORKING HARD TO GET REPUBLICANS TO MEET THERE, BUT THEY WANT TO GO TO CHICAGO.

Washington, December 5.-The for1nid- able character of the Kansas City boom for the republican national convention has started the friends of Chicago to re- newed endeavor and some of them arc very hopeful tonight that the lake city will yet secure the meeting. A large percentage of the committee feel that the convention should not go west of the Mississippi and they seem to have cen- tered upon Chicago as the most available point east of the stream. A number of those who take that view held confer ence this afternoon and reached the con- clusion that as a majority of the com mittee are really favorable to Chicago and that that city could secure the con- vention if it would definitely pledge a sffcient sum to pay expenses.
 The only indication which Chicago has so far given that she would like to have the convention is a letter sent to Commit teeman Lowden of Illinois and Chairman New In which assurances are given that expenses will be met. This is not considered sufficiently definite, however, and at the meeting today the friends of Chicago put themselves in communica- tion with representative business men and politicians in that city with view to enthusing them to the point of procuring a subscription which will guarantee a sum of not less than $50,000 or more than $65, 900. They were told in reply that the matter would be taken up where it had been left off, with q view to meeting the demands of the committeeman favor able to Chicago.
 Among those who attended the confer ence were Senators Dick, Crane, Carter and Hemingway, Representative Brown low and Committeeman Lowden, York and BroolSer.

CRISIS IN GERMANY
 HAS BEEN SETTLED
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A CHANCELLOR HAS APPEALED TO THE REIcHsTAG MAJORITY FOR SUPPORT.

Berlin, December 5.-The ministerial [ crisis has been settled as quickly as 1t | broke out. Prince von Buelow, the i'm perial chancellor, has succeeded in get ting pledges of support from all the coali- ton parties and at the opening of to- days session of the reichstag the leaders
 of these parties assured the chancellor of their continued loyalty. This crisis has been far more important
 and significant than appears on the sur face. It is the first time in the history of the empire that a chancellor has ap- pealed to the majority In the reichstag for support as a condition of his con
 tinuance in office. Up to the present time the attitude of the ministers has
 always been i've are responsible to the
 Emperor; we will hold office so long as
 it pleases him; we are not responsible
 to the reichstag."
 Consequently the action taken by Prince Von Buelow yesterday in introducing revolutionary changes into the German
 government methods was a surprise. His 1 appeal means nothing less than the re- sponsibility of the ministry to the reich stag.
 It is understood that Emperor William was fully aware that this step was to
 be made before he went to England. He indorsed it fully in the belief that the old system was no longer tenable. It is
 even intimated that it was arranged be- tween the Emperor and Prince Buelow that the latter should make an oppor-
 tunity during the absence of his majesty
 to throw himself upon the reichstag and
 thus usher in a new system of govern-

MAYOR MALONE IS HIGHLY INCENSED
HEAD OF MEMPHIS DELEGATION GETS WRATHY AT SPEAKER CANNON FOR HIS CURT VIEW ON WATERWAYS.

Washington December 5.-(SpeciaL)- Mayor Malone of Memphis headed deie- eation which left the office of the speaker of the House this afternoon highly in- censed. The members of the delegation say that the speaker did not treat them with courtesy, and it was as much as they could do to restrain themselves from leaN- ing his presence. At the deep waterways convention in Memphis q committee con ssting of q number of Tennesseans, Mis- sourians and delegates from other states was appointed to present to the speaker of the House set of resolutions on 14-foot Mississippi river channel. The committee entered the speakers room, and Mayor Malone found the speaker so impatient to have the ceremonies over that he was barely able to conclude the resolutions. The speaker gave the dele gation very little encouragement in very brief reply.

CALEB POWERS TRIAL.
Col. Jack Chinn Testifies to the Killing
 of Goebel.

Georgetown, Ky, December 5.-The at torneys for Caleb Powers in their cross examinations today sought to show that the presence of the mob in Frankfort prior to the shooting of Goebel could be accounted for by the fact that the con tests were in progress during the legisld- ture, but the commonwealth drew atten- ton to the fact that this crowd was heavily armed. tsa
 Col Jack Chinn, who was with Senator Goebel when the fatal shot was fired, was on the stand and told of the fateful walk toward the state house.
 Graham Vreland, now managing editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, then legislative correspondent, made reyela- tions as to the threats made, acts of in- inhalation to which the mountain men had subjected him.
 Henry c. Hazelwood of Lexington testi- fled this afternoon that the plot to Kill GoebeI had been made on Friday preced- ing the election, and that Governor Taylor had at that time offered full pardon for the man who would be assigned to do it., leaving a blank line for the inserting of his name.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Viralnian."

W. s. Hart as the Virginian, Frank Campeau as Trampas, and Miss Anne Meredith as Molly Wood, the three leading characters in the play, made "The virginian," which was seen at the Jefferson theatre last night, one of the most enjoyable plays of the season The play was presented to wel-filled house, and the performance was en- Enthusiastically and happily received.
 The drama as presented is a stage version of owen Wister's great story of life on cattle ranch In the west. The story is familiarity known, having been widely read. It deals with the romance of the western plains. It is, however, written principally about men, which is the natural proceeding in a place where women are in such conspicuous minority.
 The story is that of the friendship of two men quite as much as of the love of a man for woman. There Is the admiration and love one for the other between the two men, and then the pathetic parting of the two when the one goes wrong. Again there is the love of noble, brave, big hearted and awkward cowboy for a dainty, simple and lovable little woman from the hills of Vermont which closes so beautifully in the last act.
 The story is very touching one, but the real strength of the play is shown in the third act when the Vir- ginian captures his best friend. Steve. who has turned cattle thief, and has to hang him.
 W. S. Hart as the Virginian is al- most the same cowboy as was Dustin Farnum. Mr. Hart is an actor of de- cided ability and his interpretation of the part is pleasing. Frank Campeau as Trampas makes his part interesting and wholly acceptable in spite of the contemptible demeanor of the charac- ter. Miss Meredith as Molly Wood is pretty. dainty and winsome in her act ing and she carries her part entirely devoid of stagy action. All of the as- sociate players are good.
