Novel Way of Mending.

A good way to mend a round hole in
a silk or wooden dress, and where
otherwise only a patch could remedy
matters, is the following: The frayed
portions around the tear should be
carefully smoothed, and a piece Of the
material moistened with very thin
mucilage, placed under the hole. A
heavy weight should then be put upon
it until dry, when it is only possible
to discover the mended place by care.

pany's attorneys were unanimous in
the opinion that the interstate COM

investigation, would be unable to dem
onstrate that the Union Pacific

pany had taken no STEPS to prepare a
defense for the hypothetical govern
ment lawsuit.
Continuation of Union Pacific.
The Union Pacific attorneys hold
that the Southern Pacific, through the
Central Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco, is a continuation, not a
competitor, of the Union Pacific road.
The Southern Pacific might be held
to compete with itself through its own.

Among the names mentioned by Mr..
Moudy were Beaufort, Ramsey, Der.
uhelion, Becqueril, Roland, Bonaparte,
Oswald, Tolstoi and CASTOR Mono. In
America at the present time there are
fifteen colleges which give a course in
Esperanto as a regular study and there
are several newspapers printed in the
language. In Germany the merchants
have taken to print many advertise
ments in the language and find that
so many people read them that they
pay well. At a conference of Espel-
anto delegates held lately at Geneva,
twenty-five nations were represented
and every word spoken was in that
language, which was readily under
stood by all.
Hard on This Speaker.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Moudy's
talk there was a general discussion
upon the subject. Mr.. Whitehouse
was, by motion, because of an infrac-
ton of the rules of the club, sentenced
TO speak upon every subject discussed
| by the club in the next six weeks and
to make the last address in Esperanto.
| Messrs. Arnold, Tyvold and Hasen-
kamp we're also required by a motion
to learn the language in order that
they might see that Mr.. Whitehouse
fulfilled the requirements of his sent
ence.

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE THEME AT

at All Times.

AT the meeting last night of The
Laramie Literary club at the Carnegie
library, Ross Moudy treated the sub.
ject assigned to him. "a Universal
Language" in a name that made it
very interesting to the club and gave
a large amount of information regard
Ing this growing movement to intro
duce a language common to ali na-
tons. The meeting was well attended.
II was called to order by Ross Moudy,
tn, vice pr esident, in the absence of
N. E. Rogers, the president. Prof. Lee
was appointed to take the chair and
A. w. Whitehouse to act as critic.
Need of Common Tongue.
MI. Moudy in his address spoke of
the great need of a universal language
which would act as a means of ex-
preston among all nations and which
could be easily learned. He said that
the cause of universal peace could best
be served by the general introduction
of such a language, as in most cases
wars are caused by the inability of ma
lions to express themselves freely to
each other. Latin, German, French
and English have all been proposed,
and, especially in the case of the two
latter languages, have been used as a
general vehicle of expression, but have
all failed because of the difficulty with
which they are acquired and the length
OF time needed to study them.
Some Drawbacks.
The jealousy of nations has always
operated and will always operate
against the use of any existing Ian.
guage as a universal language, and
the use of a dead language, such as
Latin, has not been proven possible.
The use of some artificial language has
become imperative, and the language
needed appears to have been provided
by the work of a Russian medical
man, DR.. Zamenhof, of Moscow, who
when a student was struck by the
need of a common means of express
sion among the students of his college
and set himself to the task of invent
ing one The method he adopted was
that of taking dictionaries of all the
most used languages and choosing
those words which were common to
most of them. then such words as
were common to the greatest number,
theh those words to only a
few or two.
Grammar a Simple One.
He invented a grammar for the Ian
guage, which is of the simplest kind,
containing only a few rules and no
exceptions whatever to those rules.
This language he called Esperanto,
and so simple is it, and so adapted to
the need it was invented to overcome,
that 1t has caught on like wildfire, and
is now in use in no less than thirty
different countries. The great ad-
vantages of the language in that it
can be c~omprehended in two hours
study by a person of average intel
ligence, and spoken and read f~1uently
after two or three months study, has
caused it to be taken up by some of
the best known scientists in the world,
a number of whom now write scien-
tific articles in the language and are
its most earnest advocates.

SAN FRANCISCO, July "A NUM-
cipal reconstruction plan of great pro-
portions, involving the placing of al
most dictatorial power in the citys gov
ernment for the next four years in
board composed of five prominent busl-
ness men, was proposed at dinner
given last night at the Pacific Union
club in honor of S. S. Mcclure, a maga-
zine publisher.
The first appeal for the adoption of a
revolutionary charter amendment was
made by United States Senator Francis
G. Newlands of Nevada, whose ideas
were heartily seconded and indorsed by
Mcclure in an informal address. He de-
clared that the basic principle of Ameri-
can democracy had nodded without re
gard to human psychology and without
consideration of the business principles
that have led to the executive perfec-
ton of the great industrial organiza-
tions.
Senator Newlands' plan is in sub
stance a modification of the Galveston
plan of municipal government, intro
duced in the Texas city Immediately
after the great flood because of abnor-
NAL conditions similar in many respects
to those which confront San Francisco
today. Briefly, the scheme outlined by
Senator Newlands and indorsed by Nc
Clure is to call Immediately free
holders convention of fifteen members
chosen from the business, commercial
and workingmen's organizations of the
city, and including Rudolph Spreckels,
District Attorney Langdon and Assis-
tant District Attorney Heney, to meet
in open convention and publicly discuss
the retrieving of civic honesty and
virtue. From this convention, accord
ing to the proposal, proposed charter
amendment is to emanate in which five
men are to be named to assume the
functions of a board of supervisors in
San Francisco for the next four Years.
