CONGRESS of Esperantists.
The third annual gathering of those
persons identified with the promotion
of the universal language known as
Esperanto was held at Cambridge,
England, last week. DR.. Ludwig Ia
nenhof, the originator Of the language,
presided. The programme included
speeches, singing and a dramatic per-
Torrance, all couched in the Esperan-
list phraseology. DR.. Zamenhof in an
address said every one understood the
evils springing from divergent Ian
guages, which perpetuated information
al ignorance. Esperanto, he said, is
not aspiring to supplant any other Ian
guage, but is based on the idea Of fur
nishing key whereby the users of all
tongues may attain a common fellow
ship. English Esperanto or Russian
Esperanto Or any other language sub
jected to the same process, he con-
tends, would lose little if any of the
meaning or tang" Of the original.

The Minnesota State Fair track has
the worlds record for the fastest mile
ever made by a harness horse-the
mile made by Dan Patch last year in
1:55. Dan will go again on Monday of
fair week, trying to again lower this
wonderful mark. On Thursday, Sept.
5, Sweet Marie-as great as trotting
mare as Dan is as pacing stallion
will endeavor to lower her worlds
record of 2:02 without a pace maker.
Other great horses will be in the
races spurred by the large purses and

At last practical airship has been

striking success, and it's work for edu
cation in dairying matters, horticul-
ture, agriculture and improved prac-
tice in all the details of farm manage
ment, has been eminently efficient.
In accord with this policy the practi-
cal farm departments of this years
fair will be developed carefully and
will be more than ever of practical
benefit. Last year the great livestock
amphitheater was opened for the first
time. This brought to the attention
of the breeding world the enterprise of
the northwest and such collection of
cattle as was never seen before will
be gathered this year at the Minnesota
fair as result. Besides the ordinary
classes the American Short Horn
Breeders Association will hold in con-
nection with the state fair national
exhibition of short horns and there
will be special premiums for Mime
sofa raisers of this breed. Auction
sales of Shorthorns and Herefords will
be features of the week.

United States growing less each year
the proposal Of the American Fisheries
society, made at it's meeting at Erie,

a matter of timely interest, says the
Philadelphia Record
"Shad in the Delaware are less plen-
tiful than ever, and the record of other
rivers where they once abounded is
the same,' said an old fisherman the
other day. "Complaint is rife from the
Potomac to the Connecticut. The de-
pletion of the great lakes is deplorable.
They are growing less and less capa-
BILE of furnishing their former supply
of fish.
"Of course the extension of federal
control is not popular, but there seems
to be no other way Of meeting the sit
uation. Where a river, as the Della
ware, flows between two states neither
has absolute jurisdiction, and laws
rarely dovetail SO as to effect a super
vision worth the name. Moreover, arti-
fetal propagation must be carried on
on great scale and under the direc-
ton Of some authority adequate to Sc

1.-THE bill now being drafted by Con
gresham Shiras of Pittsburg to be in

strict constructionists Of state rights.
But its provisions will be for the gen.

It was the first fair in the country

Guests Asked to Identify Pictures of

the photographs are duly numbered,
and list of names Is kept by the
hostess After being collected and
shuff1ed they are distributed among the
players
The fun consists In endeavoring to
trace the originals of portraits. So
many minutes are permitted for OBJ
servation, and then the number of the
photograph and the guess at it's identi-
ty are written on a sheet of note paper.
The pictures are then passed on from
one to another, and the same pro-
gramme is gone through with the new
observer. The result Of the second OBJ
servation is also recorded.
This goes on until every photograph
has passed through the hands of each
guest. The lists are then inscribed
with the players names and are col
lected. The player who is successful
in fixing the identity in most cases re-
ceives the first prize, and the second
and third prizes go to the 'nexts" in
the number of accurate guesses.
The sight of a perplexed player star
ing fixedly at each guest until he can
make up his mind who was the plump
boy in the velvet knickerbockers or the
chubby checked girl in pinafores and
plaits is funny. One need not be much
of prophet to prognosticate the speedy
appearance of the game in the United
States.

Train Orders at Full Speed.

A new device for delivering orders to
passenger and freight trainmen on the
Pennsylvania railroad became operative
at noon the other day.. says an Altoona
Pa) dispatch to the Philadelphia Rec
ord. To obviate the necessity for stop
ping trains the trainmen will receive
their orders while going at top speed.
The orders will be attached to hoops,
the hoops placed on poles outside the
telegraph towers, and as the train
shoots by the engineer or conductor
will run his arm through the hoop con-
tanning his orders and take 1t along.
The hoops are to be turned in at the
roundhouse at the end of the run.
