When the conference Of governors
of states and men distinguished in po-
litical life of the nation met at the
White House in Washington, May 13-
14-15, in behalf of the preservation of
the country's natural resources, the
strangest, and, perhaps, the most i'm
portant convention ever held in the
capitol was inaugurated.
Among those invited to attend by
President Roosevelt himself were mem
bers OF the cabinet, judges of the SUI
jpreme court of the United States,
governors of all the states in the
union, including the executives of
Alaska and Hawaii, and Andrew Car
negie, William Jennings Bryan, James
J. Hill, the railroad magnate; John
Mitchell, the labor leader, and prom
inent scientists and business men
from all over the country.
Political differences, opposing issues
of national questions and business
rivalry were laid aside to discuss the
Eays and means of conserving the nat
Rral resources of the country.
) President Roosevelt opened the con-
$ention with an exposition of the why
and wherefore of the conference and
an outline of his views of the mat
ter. While on his trip dow: the Mis-
sissippi river last fall, with the gov
errors of 16 states, under the auspices
Of the Inland Waterways association,
he is said to have obtained the
nucleus of the idea which resulted in
the present conference.
1t will be remembered that Presi-
dent Roosevelt on that trip expressed
the opinion that the question of the
conservation of the natural resources
OF the country was of more import
ancS than the regulation of the rate
question.
A number Of papers, prepared at
the presidents request, were read
and discussed.
James j.. Hill, the railroad king
spoke on Relations Between Rail and
water Transportation" His paper
dealt with such subjects as the
growth Of rail transportation, its dis
tributIon and extent of systems, cost

Elwood, Ind.-One of the most puz-
cling cases that has come to the no
tice of doctors here is that of Miss
Dale Goslin, 14-year-old girl, daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. George Goslin, liv-
ing two miles northeast of Orestes,
who has subsisted three years on
liquid food, and during that time has
not spoken a word or uttered a sound.
When Dale was IL years old she
caught severe cold while attending
school and her throat became affected.
Her voice gradually sank to a whis-
per, and finally disappeared Mean
time she was fed on liquid food and
apparently the cold left her, but she

On May IL President Roosevelt en-
tertained at dinner the cabinet, the
governors and the other more dis
tinguished guests. Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the forestry division, gave a
reception to the governors and the In
land Waterways association on May
IA. On the afternoon of May Is Mrs.
Roosevelt gave garden party on the
White House grounds for all the dele
gates to the convention. At the vari-
Gus hotels in Washington arrange
ments were made for smaller recep-
tons and dinners.
All of the governors who accom-
panied President Roosevelt on his Mis-
sissippi river trip last fall were pres
ent. They are: Conner o. Alabama,
Broward of Florida, Deneen of Illi-
nois, Cummins of Iowa, Hook of Kan
sas, Blanchard of Louisiana, Folk of
Missouri, Shelton of Nebraska, Cuny
of New Mexico, Burke of North Da-
kota, Frantz of Oklahoma, Chamber
lain of Oregon, Davidson of Wisconsin
and Brooks of Wyoming.
That the conference attracted world.
wide interest was evidenced by the
fact that many of the foreign diplo
mats at Washington followed the af
fairs Of the convention closely.
Those who were in close touch with
the conference arrangements declare
they have never known another move
ment which has been greeted with
such quick and enthusiastic popular
approval.
An indication or public opinion was
afforded by the great mass of CORE
spondence which poured into the
White House on this subject. Organi
cations of all sorts expressed realiza
ton of the greatness of the enter
prise.
That conservation of national re
sources is nothing about which this
| political parties wish to raise an is
sue is indicated by the attitude of the
Democratic leaders. Both William 7

leading candidates for the Democratic
presidential nomination, wrote +,

' A Chinese Superstition.

When Chinese baby takes nap people think its soul is having a rest going out for long walk perhaps. If the nap is very long one the mother Is frightened. She Is afraid that her baby's soul has wandered too far away and cannot find its way home. If 1t doesn't come back. of course the baby will never awaken. Sometimes men are sent out into the streets to call the baby's name over and over again. as though it were real child lost. They hope to lead the soul back home. If a baby sleeps while 1t Is being carried from one place to another the danger of losing the soul along the way is very great. So whoever carries the little one keeps saying its name out loud. so that the soul will not stray away. They think of the soul as a bird hopping along after them. & stes

Their Counterpart Cannot Be Found
 In All the World.
 The edge of the world, if such thing may be. lies, hardly a rife shot away from one of the centers of the world itself-the city of New York.
 The Palisades. those mighty walls whereon the annals of the centuries are graved-what an edge of the world their lip presents to him who comes, perhaps at night, to their rough hewn elevation! In no other place other than this near proximity to man and one of his greatest cities could physical fea- ture so profoundly vast and impressive be so hidden from the world. Their counterpart cannot be found in all the world, and yet the Palisades are almost unexploited and unknown to the globe circling, sight hunting public that year ly traverses the continents or seas to gaze at things less wonderful in some distant field of natures marvellous achievements, for little does any one know of these titanic walls who has merely seen them from the Hudson. Were they somewhere of in q land comparatively inaccessible, reached by Q transcontinental thread of steel, the guidebooks would be rich in their pie tured grandeur and man would rove far to explore. them.-Philip Verrill Mighels in Harper's Magazine.

"PINEY RIDGE."

Tomorrow at the Jacques the last performance of "Piney Ridge" will be given and those who have not seen this splendid production should avail themselves of the final opportunity to do so. It is no exaggeration to say that the piece is the most popular Of any that have been given this sum- mer as the big increase in attend ance indicates. Next week there will be big double bill. "The Prince of Liars" a farce of uncommon fun and interest and the first presentation on any stage of H. R. Durant's new one- act play, "The Vampire" The Prince of Liars is too well known to the stock patron to need introduc- tion and MT Durant's $ skill as writer insures something out of the ordi- nary run of curtain raisers.

superstitions of stase Folk.

A stock actor is apt to have a prejudice against decorating or fixing up his dressing room. He is certain to get his notice shortly after he puts his pictures on the wall and otherwise makes the place comfortable and homelike. Actors and managers both have horror of the witch lines in Macbeth" and they never will allow them to be spoken, as it means fire In the playhouse before the twelve month is over. Sir Henry Irving was a firm believer in this superstitition, and he would never allow the fateful lines to be read when he was playing the tragedy. I know many players who fear to have any one pass them on a stairway when they are entering a theater. There are many actors who make the sign of the cross before they make an ntrance.-Chicago Tribune.

W. S. Gilbert had novel experience before he wrote for the stage. when he was a barrister waiting for his first brief. It was long in coming. and when it did come Mir. Gilbert deter mined, of course, to make the effort of his life.
 He was intrusted with the prosecu- ton of an old Irish woman for stealing a coat and when he began the speech that he had prepared and rehearsed so carefully. the old da+ne at once began to interject: "oh, ye dlyil. sit down" Sure. now, he's loier, yer honorl" "Sit down. ye spalpeen" Hes known to all the perlice. yer honorr' After some minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked the recorders intervention, but that of- flcial was too busy laughing. So the effort of his life was not a success.
