Some months ago young peasant girl
began to visit the residence of the
baroness, offering the servants cheap
articles for sale. Subsequently the
baroness used to buy different articles
from the peasant, who was intelligent,

conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her
service as a lady's maid. She agreed
and discharged her duties to perfec-

herself as a young Russian noble

they made life almost unbearable.
Nothing could be heard but their

Our tents were provided with a fine

our light so attracted them we went

so exactly like rain that it was impos.

be kept lit long enough to adjust the
artificial horizon. We unfortunately
had no chimney and the mosquitoes
swarmed go thickly that without this

smothered. There were but few nights
cool enough to afford us any relief;
we found that it. required tempera

freezing to subdue them.

followed the directions.
"Soon began to get better and was

Jefferson city. Mo-. April 3.-The
proposed constitutional amendment es-
tabiishing statewide prohibition was
today made special order for April
by the House Of Representatives.
The Committee on Constitutional
Amendments reported the measure to-
day without recommendation. The
Democrats tried to force It's immediate
consideration but by a strict party
vote the Republicans defeated the ef-
fort--67 to SO. 1t Is claimed the meas
ure will receive seventy-seven votes
IN the House and twenty-five in the
Senate and thus pass both branches OF
the General Assembly.
There was a small sized riot In the
House before the final vote was taken.
The Democrats claimed that no oppor-
tunity had been given to present mi
nority report on the proposed amend
ment and left their seats.

Baltimore, Nd. April s.-A lively po-

Baltimore conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church here today by the
introduction of a resolution pledgIng
the loyal support Of the conference to
President Taft and his administration.
After rather heated debate during
which Bishop j. w. Hamilton, presid-

of times, a substitute was offered and
adopted unanimously. 1t read:
Resolved, that we congratulate Will

the chief magistracy Of the republic
and assure him of our earnest prayers
for the success of his administration
Opposing the resolution OF support
to the President, DIR. George Bacon, OF

ton, arose and contended that the con-
ference had its own business to attend
to and did not have time to discuss
politics.

Teachings.

Guadaiajara. Mex, April 3.v-Arch-
bishop Ortiz and the priests OF the
Catholic church here have declared
war against the anti-clericals here
who are seeking to belittle the mirac-
ulous power OF the Virgin Mary.
An anti-clerical newspaper charged
the priests with manufacturing ap-
partitions in order to frighten the
people into believing that the Virgin
Mary was appearing at various places.
The archbishop In a sermon defend
ed the doctrine Of miracles and adjur-
ed all members OF the church to re-
main arm in their faith.J The attack
ing paper was reinforced by two 9TH
err newspapers which rallied to their
support and In retaliation the clericais
started a boycott against all three pub
locations and also putting out placards
throughout the town bearing the fol-
lowing inscription:
Honor and glory to Virgin Mary;
no impious paper received in this
house"
Further to confuse the churchmen.
the newspapers mentioned have now
begun. a crusade against what they
term the excessive number of church
holidays observed In the republic. They
assert that out OF ass days In the
year 1853 are observed as church holi-
days.

Fire was discovered In the dormitory
at o'clock. at time when the stu
dents were busy at their studies in the
class rooms. The Are was started by
defective fine and 1t spread rapidly.
The FIRST thought, during the excite
ment was for the safety Of the sick
girl. and she was carried out. Several
of the girls ventured into their rooms
with the idea of saving some Of their
property but the flames spread so rap
idly that alt were quickly driven to a
place of safety. All escaped before
the stairways were burned away with
the exception of Miss Tn omas, who re-
NAMED fffSher room too long and when
she sought to escape, found that her
way was cut of. She went to one OF
the windows and was In the act OF
jumping to the ground when she was
urged by cries from below. She then
swung out of the window and dropped
feet foremost into the arms of Mr..

The building which was burned to-
day was erected in 1908 by the state.
1t contained fifty rooms and was next
to the main school rooms. which is q
brick building. The building was
valued at 5000 and was insured.
The fact that the school building was
a brick structure prevented 1t from
going I'M the path of the danes. and II
was only due to the hard work of the
fire fighters that It was checked. The
loss ON this building viii amount to
about $4,000 and 10 also covered by IN
