FRIEZE POSTERS.
New Decorative Schemes for the PLAY
Rooms and Bed Rooms of Children.

FROM the New York Sun.
New uses have been found for the pic
torial friezes originally designed for chill
dren's play rooms and bed rooms
When pictorial frieze is made up OF a
series of separate pictures each picture Is
on separate length of paper. These
lengths complete in themselves as pic
lures, are called frieze posters.
They may be put in narrow wooden
frames in enameled black, white, red or
whatever color best harmonizes with pic
ture and room Thus they may be used as
ordinary pictures. They may be set in
mantelpieces or door panels
The newest fancy is to set them at the
top OF the leaves OF screens three
leaved screen in caameled white wood
comes with Dickens posters set in the
top of each leaf over a little hanging cur
tain of Nile green chintz or a rod set in
just under the poster frame. The scenes in
the posters are full Of bright dashes OF
color and spirit.
One Of the prettiest of the new posters
IS a picture Of a picnic party A white
cloth spreads over delicate green lawn
An array of good fare covers the cloth.
new wall paper TO go with nursery
friezes comes covered at wide intervals
with separate figures dear to children's
hearts-a rabbit dog, a cat. a jumping

HoNoRED ADMIRAL BARRY
His Statue Unveiled In PHILADELPHIA
Yesterday

PHILADELPHIA. March 16-One of the
principal features of the observance of St
Patricks day in this city, which will con-
tinue through three days this year, was the
presentation this afternoon to the city of
Philadelphia by the Society of the Friendly
Sons of ST. Patrick of statue of Commo-
dore John Barry. who was one of the So
ciety's members along with George Wash
ington.
The statue, heroic bronze figure of the
commodore, stands in Independence SQUARE,
and a great crowd turned out in the spring
like weather to witness the unwilling. The
honor fell to Miss Elsie Hazel Hepburn a
twelve-year-od great-great grand niece of
Barry. The national government was rep
resented by Brig. Gen. Duval and Rear
Admiral Tilley, commandant of the League
Island navy yard. A detachment of
marines and sailors from the war vessels
at the navy yard acted as a guard of honor
The exercises began with Il salute at the
navy yard, after which the Rt. Rev. Alex
ander Mackay-Smith, bishop coadjutor of
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Penn
syvania. delivered the invocation. The
presentation address was delivered by
Thomas J. Stewart. president of the
Friendly Sons of ST. Patrick, and the statue
was accepted on behalf of the city by
Mayor Weaver. The Grafton was delivered
by Rear Admiral Melville, retired. The
admiraPs Grafton was devoted principally
to a sketch Of Barrys life. Among other
things, he said:
THE subject of our pacans today was a
seaman in all that 1t means: an officer
of the navy before we had navy; a man
in the acceptation of the ancient and hon
orable meaning of the word. He could not
only sail, manage and navigate his ship all
over the world, but could build, rig and
equip her. and also could place. man and
fight her guns. This he did on many occa-
sions. He was no 'kid-gloved mariner.
old Jack Barry he was lovingly called
by those who knew him. But to US of q
later generation his name and the record
OF his deeds make him Fighting Jack
Barry, the father of the American navy I"
The benediction was delivered by the
Rev. Gerald P. Coghlan, rector of the Ro-
man Catholic Church of Our Lady of
Mercy, In place Of Archbishop Ryan, who
is slightly indisposed

desire to degrade defenders of the flag in
certain quarters, especially in some of our
large cities where soldiers and sailors have
been denied access to the better places In

Heretofore l have believed that this I'M
patriotic desire to Gishonor the men who
uphold the national flag exists only in the
minds of those contemplate little souls who
try to ape the English in all things. 1t is
true that in England a British soldier is
not permitted to dine at a fashionable no.

theater, or drink a glass of ale in re-

is too often of the scum of the country.

THAT boy is at the present time on board

triotism. And when he comes back here on
his furlough, after an honorable dis

are sitting in the constitutional convention
at Guthrie.
Your convention is the only thing of its

loyalty is al premium.

Last of the "Whisky Boat"


The famous f@'whisky boat is out Of
business. 1t piled on the river between
Tunica and COahoma counties and did a
flourishing business with the levee negroes.
For years 1t was a subject of contention
between Mississippi and Arkansas, and the
enactment of a law by the latter state pro-
hibiting issue of liquor license in towns OF
less than 500 is responsible for its demise.
The boat was licensed at Westover. Ark.
and this town comes under this law. The
history of the whisky boat is filled with
grewsome accounts of killings and outragcs.
and all river men will recall memories OF
its LalcyOn days.

Severe Treatment,


From The South China Post
The following is a quite modern Chinese
conception of the foreigners treatment of
infectious cases: IF an epidemic broke
out two foreigners took the sick away and
pun them in little room, washed them
with lime water and then locked them UP
so that no one could see them, purpose
that they might soon die and not propagate
the disease. Wives and children might cry
and weep, but the foreigner would but drive
them away with sticks, for until dead no
one must see those faces again. Better for
all of us to jump into the sea than submit
to this"

somewhat acid to our taste. The squash was
a novelty, and dare say we didn't know
exactly how to deal with it. We mt If on

Union Veterans Protesting.


Irrespective of politics, the old soldiers
ton being approved. with such dishonor be-
ing shown the American soldier. They have
spoken In no unmeaning terms through
Judge Selwyn Douglas, a Union veteran of
Oklahoma City, who has addressed an open
letter TO John l.. Mitch, one of the demo-
cratic delegates who is representing the
Oklahima City district in the convention.
Judge Douglas says:
II cannot credit the report that you have
voted in favor of constitutional provi-
sion that expressly profits members of the
army and navy of the United States from
voting at any election in the state of Okla
homa. Until you have confirmed this report
by letter or by word of mouth shall refuse
to believe that you have voted.
why should not a United States soldier
seaman or marine have the right to vote
at his place of residence at any election
when he happens to be at home?
You are reported as saying that you are
opposed TO uniting the civil and military
powers of the government. but in what way
would the right of a soldier to vote at his
place of residence tend in the least to min
gle those widely separated powers?
There are, probably. all told, nearly 1OO,-
600 men in the army and navy who are old
enough to vote, and there are now not far
from fifteen million voters in the United
States outside of the army and navy.
Are you. in your new environments in
Guthrie. become so sensitive that you are
afraid of the power and influence of one
patriotic soldier or man-o'- wars man over
one hundred and fifty other voters who are
not in the military or navel service? That
is about the proportion which would exist
at any election II all the soldiers and sea-
men and marines were present at their re-
speetive homes at the same election.

TIE CUBAN LIBERALS
OBJECT TO TAFT PLAN TO IN
CREASE RURAL GUARDS.

HAVANA, March 16-The liberal party
has protested officially to Gov. Magoon
against the proposal made by Secretary
Taft to increase the rural guard of Cuba
to 10000 men. The principal objection is
that the members of the rural guard are
constantly in contact with the people and
often are detailed to carry out the laws.
Their present strength is sufficient for po-
lice duties. An increase would mean ex-
irritation among the people.
The liberals suggest that instead of
augmenting the rural guard a regular army
be established, this army to be 1000 men
strong and kept in garrison, but carefully
drilled for the purpose of repelling in
vasion or putting down Instruction. The
plan for an army submitted by the liberal
party provides an annual expenditure for
maintenance of 81, 10000
