Many interesting and remarkable
sights will be seen during the three

Motion Pictures
And Red Cross Seals
Interesting Drama Tells Realistic
Story Of City Life-ReadY
December 5th'

MCLlOu pictures Will dSdII O0
used i'm the Red Cross Seal Anti-Tu-
berculosis Campaign. A picture
prepared by Thomas A. Edison, Inc,
entitled The Awakening of John
Bond" will be ready for exhibition
about December 5th., according to
an announcement made today by the
National Association fol- the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The film is the fifth health film
and the second dealing with tuber-
culosis and the Red Cross Seal
movement which has been issued
by Edison. 1t is about 1000 feet
long, and tells an interesting story
of everyday life in New York City.
The leading characters in the
story are Bond, a political boss, his
wife Grace, and Nellie O'Brien, aged
IS, living on the lower East Side of
New York. The O'Briens, a large
family, live in a miserably kept ten
ement owned by Bond, who refuses
to do anything to clean up his
building for fear of losing money.
Bond is married and sails with his
wife on a cruise for a wedding trip,
taking with him as deckhand,
George O'Brien, NeIlie's brother who
has consumption. On the cruise
George fails rapidly and finally dies;
Bonds wife having nursed him dur
ing his sickness and being with him
at the last so takes his death bed
messages. AS a esult of this close
communication with George, Mrs,
Bond contracts tuberculosis from
him and is brought back to New
York for treatment. On her arrival
home she sends for Nellie to give
her Georges dying messages, and
there Nellie sees and denounces
Bond as the murderer of her broth
er, because he refused to clean up
the tenement in which they lived,
or to help secure a hospital where
consumptives might receive free
treatment.
Meanwhile, Bond has been trying
to find a sanatorium where he may
place his wife, but to his horror,
finds every private sanatorium full,
and no room for more patients. He
then proceeds to the tuberculosis
Society and finds that there is no
public place, because he voted a.
gainst it. He tries to bride the sec
rotary to make place FOR his wife,
but the official takes his money and
gives him a package Of Red Cross
Seals. Bond is at first angry, but
when he learns what the Red Cross
Seal means, he writes out a check
for $150,000 for the campaign and
agrees to support the hospital bill.
The secretary then shows Bond a
tuberculosis exhibit and an open
school, and arranges for the placing
of his wife and the OBrien children,
who also have tuberculosis, in a
sanatorium. The last scene shows
Bonds wife and the O'Brien child
rem recovered, playing in Bonds
parlor, and a committee waiting on
Bond, showing how his candidate is
being supported because he believes
in the tuberculosis hospital.
The film will be shown in thou
sands of moving picture theatres
during December, and will be used
by tuberculosis societies all the
year round. The picture is produc-
ed under the supervision of the Ma
tional Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis and
the New York Committee on the
Prevention of tuberculosis.

Flats for MiIIfonnires.
From the Philadelphia Pres

From the Philadelphia Pres
Murray Guggsnheim has rented the
ninth floor of a new apartment house
at Eighty-first street and Fifth avenue,
New York. for which he will pay s25. 900
a year. This is probably the record
rental for a fiat in the world. Senator
Elihu Root will occupy the tenth floor
OF the same building. a privilege and
accommodation which will cost him 500
900 year. All other flats in the building
will bring a uniform annual rental of
$4,000 each. But even one of these
apartment might well dismay the ordin-
ary housekeeper. There is nothing about
them to suggest the popular idea of a
"cozy fiat" The Guggenheims will have
twenty-five rooms and eight bathrooms.
All appliances for heat and ventilation
will be skillfully concealed. Huge open
freplaces will give a homelike appear
ance to the principal rooms. Art will be
lavished to ornament the chambers with
costly woods. Safes for valuables are
also plentifully provided This elaborate
luxury Is a sign Of these muniflcent
times

In Democratic Conventions

Agitation has already been COM
menced in favor of abolishing the prece-
dent whereby \ two-thirds vote is re-
quired to nominate Presidential and
Vice Presidential candidates in Democrat
ic national conventions. 1t is held that
inasmuch as this IS a country where ma
jorities rule, the nominations should be
made by majority of the delegates. II
must not be forgotten. however, that
the custom was adopted in order that
the Southern States, which contribute so
materially to the election of a Democrat
ic President, might possess a veto power
which would prevent the selection of a
candidate unacceptable to that section.
1t is not likely, therefore, that the
two-thirds rule will be abolished unless
the South voluntarily relinquishes the
position it has held for so many years.
Nor can it be said that the operation of
the rule has worked to the disadvantage
of either the party or Of any candidate
whose aspirations were considered Sc
riOusly in any convention. There have
been times, in fact, when its operation
was a safeguard against hasty action.
Nothing can be said, however, in favor
of the rule which compels delegations to
vote as unit This rule is a relic of
bossism, pure and simple 1t has no
place in a Democratic convention. The
delegates should vote according to the
instructions received from the district or
State conventions which elected them.
They ought to have the right to act as
individuals, and not be bound by the unit
rule.

Feminine Fashions.

1t IS no wonder that there is a pro-
test on the part of the women against
the fashions which add so largely to
the expense of living. Last seasons
dress is no good this season" said Mrs
Warren, wife of Princeton professor
speaking TO a federation of women's
clubs in Detroit, "and we want reforms
that enable woman to wear the same
dress next summer as she did this Sum-
mer, and not always be a constant drain
1pon her husbands finances"
In the good old days of our mothers
and grandmothers it would have been
considered the height of extravaganza
to abandon a well-made and service
able dress until it had become thor
oughly worn. Dresses of this charac-
ter were part of every woman's ward
robe, and there was no criticism of their
frequent use. To-day, however, as Mrs.
Warren points out, the purchases OF
the c-esent season must be almost i'm
mediately discarded. 1t is frequently
impossible to make over the material,

Public Utilities Commission.

The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions is right in its declaration that the
only proper, satisfactory, and final solu-
ton of the continual controversies aris-
ing between the public service corpora
tions and the people of the District of
Columbia lies in the creation of a pub
lie utilities commission.
While approving, as heretofore, uni
versal transfers, the federation has gone
upon record in expressing its belief that
this is only one of the many questions
which a public utilities commission
would consider
a commission composed of able and
fair-mmded men. with complete exam
lining, judicial. and executive powers,
should be authorized by Congress at its
next session.

CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL
BUILD SCHOOL IN PALESTINE
Pope Warns Italians Emigratng to South and North
America to Remain Loyal to Their Faith

Rome, Oct. 22.-The president Of the
Pontifical Biblical Institute, Padre Leo
pold Fouck, of the Society of Jesus, has
just returned to Rome from the Orient
The aims of the institute make It almost
Indispensable that there should be direct
relations with different parts of the Holy
Land. Hence the Catholic Church pur-
poses to establish a school in Palestine
The city chosen for its site will not be
Jerusalem, as was at first reported. For
several reasons It is deemed wise to
locate the school in North Palestine.
The journey 20 the Orient made by
Padre Fouck was at the suggestion OF
the Pope, and was for the purpose OF
preparing the way for the school and
to connect it with institutions already
existing. The Oriental faculty of st.
Joseph's University at Beirut, Syria, will
be permitted to teach in the new Biblical
school, and by publications and scientific
Investigations in Eastern territory the
school will be enlarged as modern re-
search requires.
Scientific collections will be among the
most important branches. Purchase will
be made and arrangements for tours
for scientific research will be provided.
Establishment of the school is to be
made at once.
The Pope and Italian LabOrers.
Cardinal Merry del Val, secretary Of
state, has just issued a letter to the
Italian bishops treating OF emigration,
increasing from Southern Italy lately to
a great extent. After reciting the inter-
est taken in the subject by former pom
tiffs, the present Pope refers feelingly
to the sacrifices of men who go to North
and South America and leave their farnl-

which is the aim of the frugal house
wife, and so the investment practically
goes to waste.
1t is different in large degree with
masculine raiment A business suit can
be worn until it is no longer present
able. Other suits can be made in con-
servative pattern, so that their value
does not end with the passing season.
1t would seem as if women might be
freed from the thralldom which now
compels them to spend more money for
dress than they desire or can afford.
The suggestion to the Federation of
Women's Clubs that it take up the mat
ter with seriousness will find a well
come response in thousands of feminine
hearts.

Wanted to Escape.

From the Boston Herald
In the upper end OF Pike County
Pa, there is a man who is so noted fol
his conversational abilities that his ac.
quaintances avoid giving him unneces.
sary opportunities to talk.
One cold morning this man rode up tc
a hotel in the neighborhood just as the
guests were finishing breakfast He dis
mounted. walked in, saluted the landlord
in his usual loud tones, and declared that
he was so cold that he could hardly
talk
Just then a nervous traveller who was
present stepped up to the landlord and
taking $him by the coat. said:
"Mr. l., have my horse brought as
soon as possible"
What is the matter, my dear STRIP
inquired the anxious landlord. Has
anything happened?"
Nothing; nothing. Only want to get
away from here before that man thaws. "

lies behind them. He also refers to their
dangers from heresies, and often loss of
the Catholic faith.
The Pope is gratified by the splendid
work reported to him as accomplished by
different orders in all parts Of the world
He thinks, however, that provision made
for protection OF Catholics in America
not sufficient. In many places through
which Italian wOrkmen are passing OBJ
serves the Pope, and in chief industrial
cities, there are never lacking wicked
spectators, propagators OF socialism.
and also Protestant agents, who await
their easy prey when they land, or when
they make offers of procuring employ
ment. In reality, with a purpose Of
profiting by their good faith, many Of
these seek to swell the ranks of sectartan
proselytes."
German WOrkInEmen's League.
The Workingmen's League of Berlin. a
union composed exclusively OF Catholics,
recently sent a deputation to Rome to
present greetings to the Pope. This
league is arbitrating disputes between
capital and Slabor. and has prevented
many strikes. 1t comprises 1.19s societies
with a membership Of 12s,OO0. These men
are loyal Catholics. They hold in their
league That the CnrlSudn ire SnOuIQ OO-
tain in all branches of human expert
ence. labor included.
The league asserts that the authority
of the state should enter into questions
which relate to public welfare. but. on
the other hand, the church should guard
the interests Of organizations in so far
as they have to do with morals. The
league is closely allied with the labor
bodies of Italy, and is helping the emil
grant who is in danger of losing his
Catholic faith when he goes to America.

The Real Ends of Justice.

Among the amendments to the State
constitution adopted recently in Cali
fornia was one which provides that a
Just verdict shall not be set aside be-
cause OF technical error in procedure
at trials. The reason behind this step
is worthy and commendable Schmitz,
the former mayor of San Francisco,
convicted of extortion and sentenced to
jail, escaped deserved punishment be-
cause the indictment against him failed
to embody in it the words that he was
mayor of the city when he committed
the crime. Was there any one that tried
Schmitz who did not know that he was
mayor when he accepted money dishon-
estly? What was he tried for, if not
for that very ofcnse: And yet he was
saved by shallow technicality.
But despite this praiseworthy achieve
ment to stop similar miscarriage of JUS
tice in the future, it may be that law
yers will now be able TO enter upon end
less litigation over the question as TO
what constitutes a technical error. Tones
upon tones of judicial decisions will be
marshaled in evidence. occasioning con-
fusion and delay in executing the law.
Nevertheless, California means well,
and is to be congratulated upon its cour-
age and progressiveness. 1t has tried
to do that which has been so often
urged by Mr. Taft-to preserve the real
ends Of justice in the administration Of
its criminal laws.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.

NAPOLEON'S OPINION
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON,
In May, 1898, a party of young
Americans who were making
tour of Europe happened to be
at Toulon, France, just as Ma
poleon was embarking with his
army for his campaign in Egypt.
They sought an Introduction to
the great general whose wonder
full military exploits had already
made his name known through
out the civilized world. After
the customary salutations Ma
poleon inquired, And how fares
your countryman, the great
Washington" He is very WELL"
replied the spokesman for the
young men. "Ah, gentlemen"
rejoined Napoleon, Washington
can never be otherwise than well.
The measure OF his fame is full.
Posterity will talk of him with
reverence as the founder of a
great empire when my name shall
be lost in the vortex of revolu-
tions."

4 Remarkable Political Situation

The situation now confronting the Re-
publican party has had no counterpart
since 1892, when a determined but I'M
successful effort was made to defeat
President Harrison's denomination at
Minneapolis
To-day there exists within the party
an organization which is working most
industriousIy and expcnding large sums
of money to prevent Mr.. Taft from again
becoming the nominee, 1t is attacking
him with deliberate purpose, and is ad-
dressing its efforts to Republican voters.
There can be little doubt Of the outcome
Of the movement. Even if it does not
succeed in preventing Mr.. Taft's renomi-
nation-and it does not seem that it can
accomplish this object-it will, by Great
ing a rupture within the party, make it
almost if not quite impossible for him
20 be elected next year.
Eight months will elapse before the
nominating convention will be held. If
the antagonistic endeavor is prosecuted
during all these months with the same
energy, it will involve the expenditure
of an immense amount of money. Who
will supply the funds What is the ami
mus which inspires the effort Why are
these Republicans so determined to ac-
complish their own ends, even at the
risk of disrupting their party?
Whatever may be the answers to these
questions, the fact remains that it has
been many years since political ex-
perience has recorded such a remark
able chapter as is being written in the
history OF the Republican party to-day.
It is not known whether Secretary
