 Mrs. BunnelI was followed by MT. Crownlnshield, president of the Fine Arts Federation of New York. who spoke or. the Influence of Art on Pa triotism"
 MT. Crowninshield opened his re-
 marks by calling the attention of Lis listeners to the fact that the history of art is the history of the nations
 Not alone in the painting of pictures
 or the making of great figures, but in
 the proper development of an artistic ideal. No matter what branch of art
 1t represented. One may be so dressed as to be artistic in appearance. The village improvement society is an ideal
 means to an artistic end. Mans slo- Venly ways make or mar the town. It is infamous to spoil the beautiful country with offensive advertisements. Don't buy uneeda biscuit or anything else from any man who spells the land scape with an tunsightly 'ad." Stock bridge, Mass, has the mother society for improvement, and the officers of that town take an immense interest in all that has to do with the good ap- pearance of their town.
 The carrying out of artistic ideas in an artistic way at all times on all occasions is the correct art, and its in- fuence is being felt in the develop-
 ment of nature, of manner and of ap- pearance.
 Mrs, Kinney made the announcement of a service to be held in the Congre- gationai church at Windsor in memory

 Before the exercises began luncheon for the out-of-town visitors was serv- ed at the First M E. church, at Cal vary Baptist church and at Warner hall
 Promptly at 1:45 the procession moved up the aisle of the church, led by the chorus singing the professional Forward Gaily Together" followed by Governor Woodruff with Mrs. Sara T. Kinney, state regent; Rev. Dr. New man Smyth and Mrs. F. r. .Knous, re- gent of the Mary Clap Wooster chap ter; Rev pr. Watson L. Phillips and Mrs. R. w. Bunnell; Frederick Crow ninshield and Mrs. John Trow, of New York; the members of the reception committee and the officers of the local chapter.
 Mrs Kinney presided, opening the meeting proper with a loving refer ence to the object of the meeting and the sorrow at the loss Sustained by the D. A. R. during the time which has passed since the last general meeting; the gratitude which should exist for the legacy of hope which is the right of those who remain, and asked the secretary to read the names of those who had died This was done while all those present stood.
 Dr. Phillips then offered the memo rial prayer, tenderly thanking God for the faith which triumphs over grief and gives hope of a meeting here after.
 Mrs. Kinney called on Governor Woodruff for the greeting, which he gave in his usual easy, courtly way as follows:
 As a son of the American Revolu- ten, I am glad to welcome so many of it's graceful daughters. One of the l things that has made us great in New England is the way the women have | worked with the men, side by side in the struggle for civilization; and the ! civilization of the United States is only ! the compliment of the ages paid tc woman. She has had her own inde- pendent and successful way so long that it would take another Revolution 1 to stop her, and even then I believe il
 would be impossible to check her ir. l resistible advancement.
 This is the only country in which her great influence has been recog. nized. For ages she has been prac.
 tically the slave of man; but here 1T America she is his equal and in many instances his superior

CARNIVAL OF
 NATIONS OPENS
Races of the Globe All Repre- sented at Fair at the
 Armory.
MAYORS STUDLEY AND
 MARTIN PRESENT
Floats Decorated With German and Irish Colors Attract
 Attention.

The Carnival of Nations which is being presented by St Mary's parish opened very auspiciously last evening at the Second Regiment armory in the presehce of one of the largest crowds that has been there this year.
 Surrounding the large hall were booths, decorated with flowers and bright colored bunting, holding various exhibits and offering for sale tempting refreshments and various other deslr- able articles. One booth in particular was attractive, containing many sam ples of choice needlework which were on sale.
 Tn the center of the hall was large booth, in the lower part of whcih there were exhibits and in the upper part of which the band dscounsed music for dancing.
 But the chief attraction of all was the march of the nations, in which several hundred young men and wom- en took part. Every race from the lofty heights of the caricature of Tammany hall ruler, to the depths in- to which the Fiji Islander sinks, was Irepresented.
 There were two floats In the parade, in one of which were young ladies rep resenting types of the Irish race and in the other of which were young la dies representing the German race. The former float was larger and was cov- cred with more decorations, green figuring largely in the color scheme. The other float, while smaller, had more variety of color, and in it were seated several Dutch Madchen, with their hair fixed In the style of the peo- pie who live along the Rhine.
 In the line were Japanese, Indians Persians, French, English, Africans every race and tribe, in fact, but at the head went the Americans, and every time they passed where the crowd was standing, they were cheered.
 It had been expected that Mayor John P, Studley and Mayor elect James B. Martin would review the pa rade, but it was impossible for then to get to the armory in time They arrived, however, soon after the pa. rade was dispersed, and with Father Farmer made tour of all the booths
 Soon after Mayor studley and hi' successor entered the hall the tab leaux on a stand raised specially fo, the occasion at the left of the hall commenced and held the attention O those at the fair for over an hour tThe conditions of life of the people O Ievery part of the globe were repre- lsented, and after the scenes were closed, dancing commenced lasting until midnight. This evening the per formance, with slight variations, will
 be given again.

THE LARGE CROWDS
 CONTINUE TO ATTEND
LECTURES AND ENTERTAlN- MENTs BY COLONEL DILLINo-
 HAM AND HIS COMPANY.
Gives Valuable information Regarding
 the Dreadful Disease catarrh.

Attracted by the lecture on health and the fine vaudeville acts given by his Plant Juice Remedy company, another large audience attended the entertainment of Col. Frank A Dillingham;, on the vacant Third avenue lot fronting the Majestic theatre. last night
 The talk of Colonel Dillinghams asso- ciate, Mir A. A. A. Mills, who occupied the platform last night, was on that dreaded disease known as eatarrh In the course of his lecture Mir Mills said: Ca tarrh, while 1t remains simply catarrh, very rarely destroys life, although 1t makes life miserable but catarrh surely leads to host of conditions that make life miserable, many of which are fatal to life. It is sufficient to say that the nervous system controls all the functions of the body. Every blood vessel that permeates the human body contracts and expands under the influence of the ner- vous system. The portions of the nervous system which preside especially over the circulation of the blood In the mucous membranes of the body is known as the vaso-motor system of nerves When these nerves become weakened and allow more blood than usual to pass into the capillary vessels, the condition of the mucous membrane is known as catarrh; when this congestion continues for some time it is
  tion may occur in the mucous Things of the nose, throat or bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, bowels, kidneys or pelvis organs. Wherever 1t occurs it produces the same chronic condition, chronic catarrh.''
 Dillingham's Plant Juice. he said, in It's beneficial action upon the vaso-motor nerves, strikes at once at the cause of a multitude of catarrhal diseases. The vaso-motor system controls all the blood vessels and ducts of the body. But par ticularly do they control all the arteries and veins and capillary vessels of the mucous membrane lining of every organ of the human body from the head to the pelvis. In catarrh the vessels are ab- normally dilated Dillingham's Plant Juice increased the tone of the blood ves- sels and caused them to contract to their normal healthy condition.
 The above Is a brief sketch of the lec- turer's talk on catarrh, and besides he spoke of the symptoms of various dis eases. So plainly were these described that frequently one in the audience could be heard saying, That man describes my case exactly"
 And so 1t Is. Those who attend these lectures and entertainments for the sole amusement afforded them by the perform CTS of the company often find, after lis- tening to the lecturer, that they have some of the symptoms described. These lectures and entertainmnts will continue nightly at the same place, and no ad- mission is charged.
 All day long Colonel Dilllnghams asso- ciate, Mir Mills, may be found at the headquarters opposite the Majestic the- atre, where he will be glad to talk with anyone on matters concerning their health.

ATTACK OIL TRUSTS TANK GAR SYSTEM Increases Rates, Say the lnde-
 pendent People INTERSTATE COMMISSION Discrimination Results In Favor of the Standard oil, Declares President
 of National Petroleum
 Association.
INTERSTATE COMMISSION

Washington, May 23.-Tank car and tank wagon systems instituted by the Standard oil company. were attacked to- day n the hearing before the interstate commerce commission regarding the freight rates on petroleum and it's pro- ducts.
 ". F. Wall, president of the National Petroleum association of Cleveland the complainant in the case, testified that when the Standard oil company put in It's tank cars and tank wagon systems, the rates on oil from independent ship pers were increased by the railroads un- til he declared that the rates resulted in discrimination in favor of the Stand ard.
 On cross-examination MT. Wall admit ted that the business would not war rant the establishment of two tank and wagon systems. He said that If the independent got any business 1t must be through barrel shipments. Attorney Will son for the defendants, instituted line of inquiry which tended to show that the independent oil producers were pros- porous, despite their compalints. MT. Wall
 
 not making the money they ought to make under normal freight conditions.
 B. w. Brown, president of the Great Western oil company of Cleveland, said that the freight rates on less than car loads of oil had been increased in the past few years, indicating that this re- suit was due to the influence of the Standard oil company on the railroads.
 w. H. Fezenfeld of Baltimore presi- dent or the Red oil company, in the course of his testimony, said that an agreement was made several years ago among the southern railroads, by which the rates on oil in drums had been in- creased materially. He testified that the Seaboard Air Line. impressed by the agreements of his company had declined to enter into the agreement. Later one of the officials of that line had informed him that the Standard oil company had stopped shipping oil via the Seaboard and that those shipments had been re- stored only after the Seaboard had agreed upon rate which the witness said was now in force.
 Objection was made to this line of testi- mony as not applying to the Central Freight association territory. The com mittee held the objection was valid, but that the matter might be the subject of complaint to the commission.
