Washington, March 1.--At the night
session of the house Mahon of Penn

when bills from the committee on war
claims was under consideration, made
the point OF "no quorum" Speaker
Cannon, In view of the broadness of
the rule permitting the consideration Of
bills on the private calendar, ordered
the doors closed and directed the SER
geant-at-arms to bring in absentees. A
quorum numbers 100. While the roll
cali was in progress NIahon, at the re-
quest Of Dalzell Of Pennsylvania,
asked that the roll call cease and a
quorum be considered present. Capron
Of Rhode Island, as acting speaker,
ruled that it was out Of order to in
terrupt the roll call until the presence
Of q quorum was disclosed.
Had Fun While They Waited.
Then, one by one, the members came
into the chamber. Some of them had
been found at dinner, at clubs, etc.,
and as each answered to the call there
was applause from the members and
the galleries. During the long wait
there were songs without number,
Hamilton Of Michigan leading, and
there were whistling solos and duets
by FOrdney. and Fulkerson Of Mis-
souri,. Hepburn Of Iowa and Gaines
Of Tennessee added to the amusement
by a colloquy over "a bill to dock

man complimated the president. 1.-THE
present occupant of the White House
Is the only really great man who was
actually born in the great city Of New
York" This statement from Represent
alive Birdsall, Of Iowa, provoked much
applause in the house. It was made
by Birdsall while speaking in opposi-
ton to the bill. Birdsall urged that the
mass of farmers and laborers oppose
tie measure, while it is supported by
the great centers of population. Bird
sail criticised Grosyenor for the meth
DDS used IN reporting the bill out of
the committee. He said that Grosvenor
had gone so far as to threaten the
members from the "cornfields" dis
tricts with all kinds of political disas-
fer should they fail in supporting the
bill.

Jesus and Christian Science.

In treating of the foundations ON
which Christian Science teachings are
based. the earl of Dunmore, a prom
inent Scotch peer, in a recent issue of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, contends
that Mrs Eddy is indebted entirely to
the Bible for her revelations, and that
Christian Science is simply a clear
understanding of the practices of
Jesus nearly 1000 years ago.
On the other hand the editor of the
Christian Advocate of New York city
contends that neither the Old Tesla.
ment or the new agrees in any re-
spect with Mrs. Eddy's theories. He
says that everywhere the Bible refers
to health and disease as conditions
of the human body, one as real as the
other, with no reference anywhere to
the idea that disease is IAN error of
mortal mind" false claim" false be-
lief" or an "illusion" He says that
the cures made by Christ were instan-
taneous and that he raised the dead.
and without q single failure when an
attempt was made, in all of which re-
spects he thinks Mrs. Eddy is sadly
lacking.

Is Fort Dodge Insane?

IF | am insane who is sane?" asked
Harry K. Thaw, and his inquiry ac-
quires pertinence in view of the pro-
ceedings of the city council of Fort
Dodge, Iowa, in which a determined
and serious effort is being made to
lay a tax on bachelors and spinsters.
Probably there is no one living out
side OF Fort Dodge who would not
pronounce this an insane project.
When this ordinance was first in
PRODUCED it created some amusement,
being considered a mild sort of joke,
but it has transpired since that it was
seriously intended. The council held a
meeting last Tuesday night to take
action on it and the excitement was
so intense that the matter had to be
postponed for week. Evidently it is
no joke but a case of a brainstorm
If this ordinance is designed to
force pople into matrimony it is in
sane, because people do not marry or
remain single from slight motives A
tax of $1,000 a year would not make
a single convert. 1t might drive few
people out Of Fort Dodge and it
might produce some suicides. but it
would not lead to marriage.
The ordinance is particularly crazy
in its application to women. There
lis in this country great and grow
ing independence OF matrimony
among them, although the saddest
thing about present-day civilization is
the necessity that is laid upon women
to enter the lists with men and strug-
gle for existence.
In the case OF bachelors the pro-
posed ordinance would not be quite
so heartless, but it would be just as
irrational. The reason that so many
men do not marry now is that the
economic conditions are unfavorable
to it. It is not clear how laying a
heavy tax on them will increase their
revenues and better their prospects

Plotted to Beat Dowieites.

Mother Elinor" Mason, queen of
Israel, better known as head of the
Flying Rollers and now said TO De
the notorious ex-convict, Nine Dis
de Bar, plotted to become the head
of the Dowieites of Zion City. 1t is
believed that she planned TO beat
them just as it is alleged she did the
Flying Rollers. About two months
ago Mother Elinor" announced that
there was no other way but for the
Flying Rollers and Dowieites to COM
bine commercially
About two weeks before Dowie
died Mrs. Mason disappeared. With
her it is alleged went $4,000 and jew
els valued at much more. Mrs. Ma
son, just before her departure, said
she was going East No one knows
where she is. United States author
tiles now have Nine Dis de Bars
criminal record. Mrs. Mason left the
city just before the time the federal
authorities began an investigation in
to her past. Photographs of Nine
Dis de Bar were recognized by many
people of Windsor as pictures OF
Mrs Mason.

The condition of affairs in Central
America, meaning the war between
Honduras and Salvador on the one
side and Nicaragua on the other, Of
fers for our consideration one of the
most hopeless puzzles of all we have
ever faced. That is from our point OF
view, but looked at IN the light of
Central American history there is
nothing in it that ought to surprise.
1t is legitimate continuation of a
state of affairs persisting through
nearly eighty-hve years.
The Central American states over
threw Spanish control not far from
the same time that Mexico and the
South American countries broke
away. From that day 20 this every
one of these Spanish-American states
save Mexico for the last quarter of a
century has been more or les torn
by violent revolutions. 1t has not
seemed to make any difference
whether the state was large or small
revolutions by force of arms have
been more or less fashionable.
1t seems the simplest thing in the
world to our people that all these
half a dozen little states consolidated
into one state and fairly we'll man
aged would make a desirable nation
atty for people of their blood and
would at the same time command
the respect of the rest of the world,
but this, though tried often, has as
often failed and probably can never
be attained The trouble seems TO
be that they do not care thing about
the respect of the rest of the world.
All they want is to be let alone, to be
free to sell what they want to sell to
some outsider and enjoy slaughtering
each other in their own way. Some
times we laugh at these revolutions,
but for those caugh. in the swirl they
are not funny.

Two Views of Chicago.

There is an old and suggestive
story about two men, unknown TO
each other, who told of their respec-
tive experiences in India. One went
to hunt tigers and when some good
women asked him about the mission
aries there, he assured them there
were none-he had not seen mis-
sionary in all India The other man
went to India to see and help the
great missionary enterprises there
and when some sportsmen asked him
about the tigers he had seen he could
only reply that he had not seen a tig-
er in all India.
Last month two men set out from
the East to visit and study the city
of Chicago. You can read the re-
suits of their respective investiga-
tons in the April issue of two mag
azines. One of them found vice and
degradation all over the city. Where
ever he went saloons glared at him,
beer flowed in torrents, outcast wom-
en- accosted him. He found out how
much beer Chicago consumed and
how much whisky. He made study
OF gambling and tells us just how
much money Chicago bets on the
races every year and how much the
gambling houses of the city take in.
The price of beer and the price OF
prostitution enchanted his attention
AL this is set out in the April Nc
Cures.
The other man did not see any of
these things at ALL Perhaps they did
not interest him, perhaps he felt the,
were to be taken for granted; per-
haps he felt that other things were
more important to know. In the April
Munsey's you may read what he saw
in Chicago He found a multitude OF
things to instruct and deliglrt-im-
posing and beautiful buildings, an in
domitable spirit of progress, the res
olution to succeed He found the
most wonderful record of city growth
in the world. He found great
churches, universities, libraries, art
institutes, and a vast multitude OF
noble men and women ceaselessly
striving to make their city as moral
as it is mighty, as good as il is
great.
There was man who walked along
country road and all he saw was the
mud under his feet But another man
walked that way and came home with
beautiful memories of spring sky
happy birds, waving trees and lovely
flowers OF spring. In the great city,
as along the country road the OBJ
server is apt to see what he is looking
for, and he is pretty certain to be
looking for something that finds a
response in his own nature--lndian-

Automobiles of the Future.

Exhibitions of a" sorts of motor
vehicles are drawing larger crowds
than ever this spring. The interest
shown is by no means confined to the
class able to buy the expensive ma
chimes now turned out. There is q
general conviction that the automobile
will be popularized and brought with
in the buying capacity of all who
need power on wheels. Such has long
been the tendency of the familiar
forms of mechanism Watches were
at .sS time luxury, but good time
k eps. can be bought now for a few
ocaars. Sewing machines are found
in every home, though their cost at
first restricted their use. Edison has
been at work on motor wagon OF
low cost, and throughout his wonder
full career as an inventor he has
sought to adjust his ideas to the
wants of the multitude He has plan
neil an automobile that will not only
be cheap, but that can be as easily
kept in order as an ordinary wagon,
for which an average man with few
common tools suffices. Automobiles
of all the higher grades will continue
to be made, but the de luxe branch OF
manufacture will not be the largest.
A sense of what is coming impels
people of all estates 70 flock TO auto
mobile exhibits and to ponder over
the different models and appliances

Autos Must Register Again.

All the owners OF automobiles IN
the state will have to put up another
dollar toward the support OF the
state under the new automobile law
passed by the last general assembly.
This law will become effective with
the publication of the acts.
At first it was not understood that
the new law would require every
automobile owner to register his ma
chine again. 1t was supposed to be
amendatory to the present law, and
the general sentiment was that reg
istration would not be necessary un-
der the law An examination of the
law shows the contrary TO be the
real situation. and the Office az the
secretary of state is getting ready to
deal out new numbers to automobile
owners
The law provides for differen
series of numbers. Each machine
will have to be numbered, therefore
and re-registered with the secretary
of state The registration fee is $1.0c
as before.
The new numbers must be white
against a black background, four
inches high. The numbers are to be
placed both on the front and back OF
the machine.

Improved Consular Service.

There are indications of a serious
intention on the part OF the United
States government to try to improve
its consular service by securing for
this important work in foreign lands
persons who have the proper equip
ment for a successful career. There
has been much complaint of political
appointments where the one chosen
had no knowledge of the language of
the country to which he was assigned,
no business experience behind him.
and no general training in the way
of education. If the recent examina-
ton in which a Chicago man was one
of the ten successful candidates af-
fords basis for an opinion, all that
is to be changed in the future.
The announcement that an exam
nation for positions in the consular
service would be held brought over
100 applications. These were careful,
ly sifted, inquiry being made as to
the fitness of each candidate, with the
was reduced to twenty OF these ten
were able to pass the examination
that was set. The number of places
open being in excess of this, another
test is to be made later in the year
Two ideas were carefully kept in
mind by those in charge, one to Sc
cure the right sort of persons for the
work and the other to distribute the
places among states which have not
had many consular appointments in
the past. By watching this point Sec
rotary Roo. hopes to make the com
sular service representative of the
whole country. The ten successful
candidates came from eight states.
Pennsylvania and Missouri securing
two positions each. Seven of the ten
are over % years of age, and most OF
them have had blu mess training.
The character of the examination
gives some notion of the idea held
regarding the qualifications for a
good consular officer. There were
eight lines of inquiry, covering mod
ern languages, the resources of the
United States, international maritime.
and commercial law, American his
tory, government, and institutions,
political economy, geography, politi-
cal and commercial, arithmetic. and
modern history since 1880 of Europe,
South America and the orient The
subjects show that some amount of
ST scial and technical training is need
ed % pass such an examination. The
average American would not be able
to meet the test.
1t is said that the ten successful
candidates will be appointed to places
yielding about $4,000 year in salary.
They will be eligible for promotion
according as they show ability The
outcome of this first test under the
new law governing consular appoint
ments will be watched with interest

Wreck From Hammer Spark.

A spark caused by blow from a
hammer ignited quantity of set
pieces in the finishing room of the
consolidated Fireworks Company at
Graniteville, R. l., Wednesday and in
the explosion that followed one man
was torn to pieces, a boy and two
girls were probably fatally injured
and seven other persons were burn
ed.
A boy was mailing the wooden bot
tom on "geyser" piece when a spark
from his hammer started fire that
almost instantly filled the room with
shooting stars and blazing magnesia
balls There was rush for the door
and six of the employees had reached
the outside when terrific explosion
rent the building and enveloped it in
flames.
