SECOND NATL
PEACE CONGRESS

A must cordial invitation has been
extended to our city to be represented
by ten or more delegates in the second
national peace congress to be held ID
Chicago, May 3-5, 1909.
The invitation is extended through
communication addressed to Chiei
Burgess Amesbury and signed by Royal
L. Melendy, secretary of the congress.
On behalf of the executive commit.
tee the secretary extends the chief
burgess an invitation to become an
honorary member of the national peace
congress.
In recent years the need for regular
national peace congresses has been
making itself everywhere more and
more felt. Comparatively few at best
of tine peace workers in any country
are able to attend the congresses il
other countries.
The first American national peact
/ congress was held in New York il
April, 1907, and was the most import
ant and impressive as it was certainly
the largest popular peace demonstra
| tion ever seen. The resolutions unanim
ouslv adopted urged unremittirG effor
on the part of all nations to perfect
the legal system which shall supplan
she war system aud called upon oul
government for decided action toward
bringing about the limitation Of bura
eusome aImameuts of the nations
The second meeting Of the peace
congress, to be held at Chicago, will
no doubt be conspicuous Tor its sue
cess, inspiring the international work
ers Of the country and nerve them fo
the tasks thst confront them.

A Lost Fec.

The Right Hon. Augustine Blrrell
once believed that he had been smit,
ten with a mortal disease and went to
consult distinguished doctor who
lived in the neighborhood Of Harley
street and who was great expert on
the disease of which he thought he
was victim. 1t was hot day in July.
and as he walked from his London
home. which was in the neighborhood
OF Addison road, to Harley street he
nerspired freely.
He found the great physician's
rooms all crowded with patients
probably, he thought, suffering from q
similar complaint to himself
While waiting he found on the table
a book written by the great physician
on the subject Of the particular dis
ease. He opened the book, and the
first words which caught his eye were
these: '"fhe patient who is suffering
from this sease never perspires.'
He had Scotch blood in his veins. so
he picked Ip his hat and gloves and
walked out and he never saw that

The disease which long bafiled scien-

approach OF either man or animal at q
river crossing in the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly. II there is one in the vicinity, and
then, either silently or with a peevish
buzz, 1t makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives its stab.
The usual course of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, feverish
condition. lassitude and a correspond
ing diSinclination to work The facial
aspect changes. and previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull. heavy and apathetic.
Later, trcmor in the tongue develops,
