WONDERFUL MEETING.
Mrs. Samuel Anderson Tells of
Women's Convention in St. Louis.

Mrs. Samuel Anderson recently re-
turned from St. Louis, where she at
tended the national convention Of
the American Woman's League. Mrs.
Anderson was the duly accredited
delegate from the Laura B. Anderson
chapter in this city.
An Inspiring Convention.
"lt was most inspiring conven-
ton" said Mrs. Anderson to the
Democrat, in describing her trip.
"There we're over seven thousand
delegates present from all parts OF
the United States and Canada. Every
state in the union was represented
and some Of them like California,
sent whole train loads Of enthusiastic
delegates and visitors.
The American Woman's League
was originated by F. G. Lewis, found
cr and editor OF the Woman's Ma
tional Daily, editor OF the St. Louis
Star, and founder and mayor OF Uni
versity City, st. Louis. This little city
within the larger city was designed
as the ideal American community, 1t
is magniicently laid out and now
contains number Of the most beauti-
ful buildings in the United States
Lewis is the financial genius behind
the enterprise which calls for the ex-
penditure Of millions, and the women
OF this country are providing the
means for realizing his dream for a
real City Beautiful
THE Woman's League was organ
lied solely for the uplift OF the Amer
ican woman. Its purpose, while
wholly altruistic are also practical,
and the affairs Of the organization
are administered in strictly practical
ways. While he has been called a
dreamer, Mr.. Lewis has demonstrated
that he is an exceptionally keen busi-
ness man and all OF the enterprises
in University City are sclf-support-
ing.
"The convention was feast OF
reason and flow Of soup from be.
ginning to end. The meetings were
addressed by some Of the greatest
men of the country, including Gov
ernor Hadley. former Governor Folk
and Mr.. Lewis.
"The people of the city OF St
Louis threw open their homes to the
visitors and this true southern hos
pitality, added to other features, made
the convention one to be remembered
by those who were present to the
end of their lives"

Wind and Rain Interfere With Con-
test Which Was Won by STAN
ford Here Last Sunday.
A LOT OF SQUABBLING
Umpire's Decisions Often Disputed
and Much Kicking Results
At Stanford Next Sunday.

In a game which was in keeping
with the very unfavorable weather
conditions, the Stanford base ball
team defeated the Lewistown White
Wings, at Athletic Heights, last Sun
day afternoon. by score OF 9 to 2.
A heavy wind blew across the field,
raising great clouds OF dust and for
several innings just enough rain fell
to make good playing almost impos-
sible. Under such conditions, both
sides made many errors which were
entirely excusable and the contest ma
turally developed into one Of the
raggedest contests played on the local
grounds this season.
Lots of Kicking.
The bad weather put the players in
a bad humor and there was lot OF
kicking over the umpire's decisions.
In the absence Of Eddie Baker. Man
ager Thurston, Of the visiting team,
was selected to umpire and an un-
usual number Of close decisions made
his task difficult one.
Catcher Moe Injured.
George Moe, the crack catcher OF
the Lewistown team, was struck by a
foul tip and put out Of the game in
the second inning. Although Tommy
Campbell, one of the best all round
players in the league, went in and did
good work, the accident to the reg
ular backstop put the White Wings
up in the air and they lost game
which, under ordinary conditions,
.i,ey should have won. There was a
bunch of hard hitting by both ag-
gregations and several good plays.
Have Good Team.
Stanford has good, strong team
of players. In young Miller, they
have a pitcher with lot of steam and
excellent control. They are strong

Watch Your Shoulders.

When standing before looking glass
notice If your shoulders are the same
height Generally the right is higher
than the left The reason for this un'
evenness lies in the way one sits. You
get into a comfortable chair at your
desk. and at once you rest your right
elbow on the arm Of your chair OF
your desk. thus throwing one shoulder
higher than the other. This Is especial
ly the case where one writes a great
deal When you notice that one shoul-
der is higher than the other the thing
to do Is to change your way Of sitting
at your desk. Two simple exercises
will be beneficial. The arm of the low
er shoulder should be extended up
ward, the hand grasping a dumbbell
That OF the higher shoulder should bt
lowered aud made 10 support heavy

ACCUSED AS A WITCH.
Tried For "convsrsins With the Devil
In the Form Of Cat"

Tried For "conversins With the Devil
In the Form Of Cat"
Jane Wenham was indicted at the
Hertfordshire assizes on March 4, 1T12,
for ''conversing with the devil in the
form Of a cat" under the provisions Of
the act Of 1904, repealed in 17S6. Her
prosecutors wished to have her also
indicted for practicing witchcraft to
tho harm of Ann Thorn, a servant girl
sixteen years old, but this was not
allowed. although evidence was pro-
duced at the trial to show what injury
had been done the victim by means OF
crooked pins and by placing cakes and
cats hairs in Ann Thorn's pillow and
how the prisoner had caused the death
Of some cattle simply by walking
through a turnip field.
The jury brought her in guilty"
and Mr.. Justice Powell passed SEN
tence of death, but took steps TO quash
the verdict. Wenham's prosecutors
published an account Of the case. but
their arguments were pulverized by
scientific men. Jane Wenham herself
was liberated and taken under the
protection of Colonel Plummer, who
gave her a cottage. and We are told
by Or. Hutchinson that In 1T20 the
whole country was fully convinced OF
her innocence.-LOndon Spectator.

Financial and Commercial

+. d. Lackey & Co states to-day
The market to-day was again subjected
TO heavy selling, which mostly came from
commission houses and the buying ap-
peared to be for the interests that have
been persistent sellers recently. II is
reported that the recent furry i'm wheat
and the reports accompanying the ad-
vance regarding damage, all came from
New York and the selling in wheat this
morning from the sources that were bull
ing Il for the past week. Conditions cer-
wheat or the low range OF prices for
stocks and IL would not be surprising to
see sharp rally at any time. Nothing
doing IN the Philadelphia market"
q. /. Hudson and Co. stated this morn
ug:-"A calm analysis OF yesterdays
collapse in security values fails TO show
anything more than technical grounds for
the declines. Two well known profession
ais are understood TO have been the heav-
lest sellers and that for short account.
Their commitments far outran actual lio-
uidation. Under these circumstances, we
believe that should banking support ap-
pear this morning on fNfther weakness, a
remarkably sharp recovery may occur.
The fact that many leading issues are
now near the low prices Of June 6 has
investors who are satisfied with the re-
turns afforded by seasoned dividend pay
ers, made all the more attractive by cheap
money everywhere. The economies being
put into effect on all leading railroads
