It is no new thing that a certain
class of newspapers, notably the Ber-
lin political journals. sneer at the peace
conference and point to the fact that
the powers arm to the hilt while talk
ing sweetly of "brotherly love-" The
peace party has drawn a hot fire of
ridicule from the very start. But great
movements are not baked by ridicule.
When the ruler of one Of the mightiest
nations Of the world today. the car Of
Russia. proposed peace conference the
idea was lifted from the level Of q
fad to the plane of craftsmanship. Ad-
hitting that the ear was wholly selfish
and playing trick to stave of war un-
til Russia was ready for it, his act was
a recognition of serious and wide
spread belief in the doctrine Of peace
by resolution.
Already the second congress has by
unanimous vote of the delegates renew
ed the recommendation. of the confer
ence Of 1899 with respect to the limI-
tation of military armament. This in
itself is a declaration that the project
Of international peace is not illusory.
Public opinion is behind it. and it is
only a question Of time when the most
timid diplomats will carry into the
peace conferences the courage OF their
honest convictions. 1t is charged that
the conference at The Hague has been
dominated by one or two men whose
influence Is not cast for peace. Some
day 4 leader OF masterful mold will
arise and conjure the assembly with
the Pauline pledge, II am determined
to know nothing among you but peace. "
Then the cause will take a forward
leap.

In endeavoing to fix Richard Mans.
6eld's place in the world Of dramatic
art there is difficulty. as he cannot very
well be compared with any one else
certainly not with Edwin Booth, whose
methods were wholly different Mr..
Booth, although sometimes appearing
in comedy. was essentially traged!an
and was tragic even in his mirth. 1t
was not SO, however, with Mansfield,
who, while at intervals delighting to
play tragedy and always ambitious to
excel in 1t. was yet distinctively CO.

real successes We're achieved, from the
first great night when he astonished
the public with Baron Chevrial to that
when, unsuspectingly, he took leave OF
the stage In Ibsen's Peer Gynt. The
list Of his roles is amazing. Garrick.
Kemble, Kean and Irving played IN
their time many parts. but Mansfield
excelled them all. The still more mar
velous thing is that he acted all his
repertory so well, giving each part Its
separate identity and fixing it in \
niche of Its own for the memory Of
those who love the players art.
Memories Of Mansfield are memories
Of q great actor who did not tribe with
his public He gave 1t Of his BEST. His

foundations and started fire.
Between the first upheaval and the
second explosion there was an inter-
val of Is minutes, during which
some splendid heroism was displayed
on the part OF the town people.
Not only men, but women, came
running to the aid OF the workmen
who had been hunt in the first ex-
plosion and were menaced by the
spreading of the flames.
Wives, mothers and sisters were
in the throng, who had relatives in
the mills. 1t was an awful scene.
They dashed furiously at the burn
ing pile, only to be driven back by
the fierce heat. They tore at their
hair. beat their breasts and scream
ed at the top of their voices, calling
for husband, father or brother by
name.

dynamite Did Most Damage.
Some one in the crowd was sufi-
ciently collected to remember that
there was SO tons of dynamite in one
of the magazines, over which the
flames and sparks were flying. and
to recall that the explosion of so
tons of dynamite would produce a
conclusion in comparison to which
which the one that proceeded t
would be insignificant.
Run for your lives' was the cry,
The dynamite may go at any min

seemed to push out the ground in

1t sprang the walls of school
building at Rockville, % miles away,
and threw the children there into
a panic.
Panic i'm School Rooms.
In the school house. which stands
! early three-quarters of mile fro"
the mills-a two-story frame struc-
ture-197 children had gathered for
for the morning session. They had
hardly been seated when there was
a mighty roar and the grouni
shook and the building reeled and
the windows crashed and the ceiling
cracked. A gigantic black cloud
flew up and spread outward from
the direction OF the mill. Every
child in the building knew what hal
happened.
Screaming with fright the pupils
and teachers ran wildly for the
stairs, and as they did so the aidi-
tional strain of stampede caused
the roof of the school house to col
lapse and forty children we're crush
ed under it. The others threw
and trampled ETAOdown
themselves out of the windows, fell
and trampled one anOth
er in the fight to get out of doris.
1t was the widest kind of a panic,
and the marvel is that none of the
children were killed. Those who
were caught in the fall of the roof
and those who suffered in the stam-
pede were taken out and put under
medical treatment, and it is believed
that few of them will die.

Buffet Car Soon.

Monroe Times: A buffet car is be-
ing fitted up by the Milwaukee road
for service on the Mineral Point divis-
ion and will becompleted IN two weeks
according to a communication received
by Colin w. Wright from the state
railroad commission. Attorney Ellis,
of the Milwaukee road, says the COM
munication, had been notified that Mr..
Wright's complaint would be held
open until the next term because the
company IN certain particulars had
not complied with the agreement
reached between the parties, a buffet
car having not been provided. Mr.
Ellis explained that the only reason
why the buffet car was not provided
was that the only car the company has
that is adapted to the service is now
in the shops being put In shape fol
the division and that he expected thai
the repairs would be completed ano
the car put in service in two weeks.

Two Kinds of Girls.

The girl graduates of Downer col
lege, Milwaukee, on Sunday evening
listened to baccalaureate sermon
preached for them by Rev. Friedrich
Edwards, rector of St. James church
of that city. The Sentinel of Monday
morning contained a report of the
sermon.
"There are two kinds of girls who l
have known to come home from board
ing schools and colleges" said Mr..
Edwards. 1.-The one kind gets up late
for breakfast, who complains about
the cold coffee and arouses the ire Of
the cook; who then dawdles on the
front porch with a book reading a
novel and entertaining somebody as
lazy as herself; who never seems to
know there is a bed to make or a
room to sweep. or any hard work to
be done. She may fiji few vases
with flowers and run q little rag time
or improvised reveries on the piano,
but shat is all the art influence she
introduces into the home. She laughs
at the pictures and criticises the car
pet and wall paper and sends the wash
er woman on a strike. The village life
sbc; prOnOunces monstrOusly dull and
she longs to travel and to pay Il visit
to her old chums, and when she cans
do that she blames her fate and per
! haps gets herself iniO mischief. Thai
| is not what an education is for. Il
is to fit young people for home life
| to add to their culture and to increase
| their resources, and ut the same time
to make them simpler, more thought
full and more Industrious. If the girls
mother still has to do the homework
| if father has lost an honest little com
paniOn, if the house that has beer
santifed by love and life seem:
vulgar, then she had better have stale
at home. But the truly educated girl
| while she may weep over some thing!
in secret, still reVerences her parents
because they have wrought the envir
onment of a home and will seek t.
change them only as one make:
changes in churches; while her books
on her culture have not spoiled he
industry or her dutifulness but onl.

A Good Record.

The Teller: Professor SIothower,
principal of the Lancaster high school,
is gratifed over one of the facts in
connection with the class of 1907,
graduated from the high school last
Friday. He says, that all of the boys
of the Glass of 1907, nine in number,
were non-tobacco users. This is an
exceptional, but a gratifying record
for this class, and it is hoped that
the young men will continue in future
to be Of the same class. The use of
tobacco by young men is so prevalent
nowadays that it is a relief to find
such number of young men gradu-
ates from high school with such a
record at this.

If you have pain in the back,
