UNIVERSAL PEACE BY HE

Napoleon Bonaparte Will. 1t is maintained by them, never be re- peated in the history of the civilized world. Nor can the political machin- ations of any cabal or oligarchic party sacrifice a nation to selfish ends. In the future. is is contended by Senator Smott, war will only be declared after nation as a whole demand it.
 The plans of the advocates of universal peace propose to abolish the condition of affairs that has ex isted for years throughout contin ental Europe-that of armed to the teeth peace the peace that has cost the English government millions of dollars in treasure. the frenzied naval propanganda which demands ihe building of many dreadnaughts a year by the German government, and the tremendous strain of tax atien that is put on the citizens of Europe

 Writers on the subjec; of uni versal peace, he says. have attempt ed to bring about the movement in a spasmodic, desultcry, and un- systematic way The contributions have been the ceaseiess reiterations Of obvious truths about he iniquity of war and the blessings of peace. The audiences have been composed of these who are already convinced and advocates have been talking among themselves and only to be levers. In this matter. as in all new movements, where converts and proselytes are most desired, the talking and writing, Mir. Root con tends. must be done to those who either by conviction or apathy have not yet been convinced

 The frs. steps by the new insti- tuition will be to try and discover jast what each and all Of the many societies in the United States abroad are doing in this direction, and Eron the evidence thus gained t will be possible to decide on a campaign of assistance, support and helpful guidance
 Our aims and purposes. said Mir. Root. in an interview here Co day. may be divided into a three fold classification, scientific. inter national law and propanganda. We shall begin modestly, and shall try to be sure of our ground Mis takes of any magnitude at the bs ginning we realize would be fatal and i: will be one of our greatesi cares not to plunge too enthusiastic ally or too recklessly into the work There is no great need for haste for our work is perpetual WI have all time before us, and sucl work as we may be able Co a complish, even at the outset, VI shall try to make enduring"

Perhaps one of the most remark able feats ever offered to the pa irons of a circus is that which is being exploited by the management of the Sells-Floto Shows this year
 At first sight it would seem as if all she human ingenuity possible and all the originality embraeing the invention of difficult feats and the execution thereof had been exhausted But now we have the Sells-Floto people coming with the announcement that for a special thriller this season they have Theo lilo Carbo, the marvellous Spanish athlete, who is billed to slide head down wards on a slack wire from the dome of the tent to the g4und This act cones as a climax to several other feats performed upon | the wire by Carbo, but they all pale into insignificance before she i finale. In order 10 make a sue cessful descent Carbo must balance 10 hairsbreadth. The start Is made from platform a. the apex of the center pole. the wire being stretched at an agle of about A degrees, making the distance GOV cred about 150 feet He uses no balancing poles. fans. umbrellas. or other artificial aids. It is dare devil slide as you can imagine and is made at breakneck speed.
 The Sells-Fioto Shows will be here on Wednesday, April and will give two performances
 The general price of admissions has been 25 cents. so that now this
 magnificent attraction is within the reach of everyone's pocketbook.

New Idea Given for applying the Carnegie Gift to Bring
 End to War

WASHINGTON, March 22-The peace of the world which has been maintained only by the heavy arma men: of nati1ls, tas takel a Of ferent turn, or at least it will run on a new tack since the creation Of the Carnegie Peace Endowment
 This latest philanthopieal work of Mr Carnegie. as projected by the directors of the endowment con templates universal peace through thc medium of an international peace tribunal, similar to the Hague Peace Court. Its mandates. however. are to be forced upon nations through a police power Just what this means has not been clearly out lined by Senator Elihu Root, Pres ident of the Peace Endowment, but m accordance with announcement; recently made by James Brown Scott Secretary of the New Institu- tion. it would seem that the peace of she world in years to come is still to be upheld by the bayonet.
 OCEefCe 10 6SSiSt.
 The movement for universal peace, which is to be obtained. if possible, through the gift Of s1O.0o0Oo0 by Andrew Carnegie. has already beer started At first steps are 10 be taken to conduct a research based
 strictly upon scientific methods Of procedure. The most eminent writers thinkers, and students of interna. tional law and history of peace and war. are to be o5tained to work ont the desired aims. By their or. ganized efforts a substantial tounda tion of scientific accuracy win b. obtained upon which it is hoped a successful and worldwide propa ganda of peace can be conducted.
 The plans, as outlined by Senator Root and Secretary Scott. are baaed un the assumption that the day mas passed when the inordinato ambi ion of any one man can plnnge 2 nation into war. The careers of Alex ander the Great, Julius Caeser ana

 'The British broke and fled down the steep declivity but many were sho: as they ran. Hector Mac Donald was then a lieutenant in the Gordon Highlanders. Three Boers rushed at him. With his fists he knocked down two The third raised his rifle to shoot him but another knocked up the gun, saving: Hes too brave a man; take him alive. SC Gen Joubert afterward returned his sword 10 MacDonald.'
 Sometimes guilt makes men cow ards and they kill themselves. Mac Donald had the consciousness of his innocence to support him. That he was innocent of the charges the Wac Office readily accepted as true was proved by an official committee O; six unbiased Britons in Colombo including two physicians of repute Part of their report runs:

We, the appointed and under signed commissioners, indivdually and collectively, declare on oat: that, after the most careful and minute inquiry and ivestigation ol the whole circumstances and fact. connected with the sudden and un- expected death of the late Sir Hec I tor Macdonald. we find absolutell no reason or crime whatever tC create feelings such as would de termine suicide.

 Such reports were downright lies Separated, Sir Hector and his wife certainly were, but only by the exigencies of his military duty He was a lieutenant when he met his future wife at a dance in Edin- burgh. They were not married until he got his captains commission. Although his absences were necessa- rily long and frequent. he and his wife were devoted to each other.
 The Burial CD at Edinburgh.
 Lady Macdonald and her young sen hurried to Paris from Scotland, where a coffin had been closed and sealed among strangers, while all Scotland and thousands in England were eager to pay the fullest honOrs to the distinguished soldier. his wid. ow and son took the coffin. enclosed in a rough packing case to this city. There. equally unceremoniously, it was placed in a one-horse express wagon. on which was a pictorial ad. vertisement and driven across the city to the Northern Railway ter. minus; his widow and son followed in a hired cab The train arrived in Edinburgh at 6 a. m, nor hall an hour later, the casket was buried hidden. in Dean Cemetery there.

There Is a story of man who waa so transported with joy as he stood up at the altar rail to be married that his thoughts reverted to day when he stood up at the prisoners bar in a court of justice to plead guilty or mot guilty to a criminal charge. So powerfully did that, the most painful event of bis life, obtrude itself upon his mind that when the clergyman put the question, Wilt thou have this wo man to be thy welded wife?" and so on, the poor distracted bridegroom an- swered with startling distinctness, "Not guilty, so help me!'-From Tuck erman's Personal Recollections."

A CUP OF TEA.
M Plays a Curious Part In Chimes
 Business Etiquette.

When a salesman or person seeking a business interview presents - card at the entrance to a Chinese mer- chants place of business the possi- bility of an audience depends alto gether upon how he deports himself while awaiting the return of the card bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as to put one foot over the twelve inch railing that intervenes between the step and the doorway no manner ol persuasion can prevail upon tho mer chant to grant him an interview.
 In case he waits patiently in the space allotted to unknown callers this fact is noted, and he is usually ush- cred in.
 Once in, there is still more delicate matter to be disposed of, and in case the newcomer is ignorant of the GUS. tom he fares i'll with his errand I'm mediately upon the callers entering and taking 8 seat a servant brings q serving of tea, which includes smati cup for each person present. The point of etiquette demands that this
  Is ready to depart, in case the inter view has been a pleasant one, in which case the caller is supposed to take ul and drink his tea at parting, and at this signal all the others do likewise, However, should 1t so happen that the Chinaman is not pleased with his call. CT and Is in any way annoyed by him the merchant takes up the tea and be gins to drink at once which act Is a direct and decided hint that the in tervfew Is ended and has not been tc the pleasure of the merchant. The caller Is then e1 pccted to take his i'm mediate departure.

FRENCH FISH STICKY.
Three Days Carnival of Marpienon'e
 Intrepid Anglers.

Intrepid Anglers.
 Though their lakes and ponds are few and their rivers comparatively destitute of fish, the French people are extremely fond of angling Indeed. nervous and excitable as the average Frenchman may be, he Is content to sit by stream with pole and wait all day for bite.
 In certain country town not far from Paris there existed fishing cltit named the Intrepid Fishers of Marri gnon. A pretty stream goes through Narpignon. but for many years no one fish had been seen in this stream, from which circumstance, it followed. the Intrepid Fishers had little to do, says IIarpcr's Weekly.
 The excitement may be ina gined therefore when the word ran through Marpignon that large barbel-a tough and gamy lish-had been seen in the stream The Intrepid Fishers turned out and, having ascertained that there was indeed barbe in the stream, Immediately stopped the wa ter some ltlle ulSCuncc dDONe anu Dc low him with gratings so that he could not get away.
 Then they ranged themselves joy 1 fully along the stream with hook and line, and all went to fishing for the l one fish.
 By and by one Intrepid Fisher caught him and immediately threw him back into the water In the course of time another caught him and did the same
 For three days one veracious ac count has 1t the Intrepid Fishers kept at work catching this one barbel, and at the end Of that time the fish diec of exhaustion .nl loss of blood. Then the Intrepid ri.hegs eountel up the notches that tlle: had made on their Ash poles and the man who had caught the barbel the most times was declared the champion fisherman of Marpignon and received great honors
