The White Lily a Symbol.

Pittsburg Dispatch: OF the many
species of lilies grown throughout the
world the white lily of the orient has
the oldest history as a cultivated flow
err It's origin is supposed to be in
China. but long before the days when
annalists took cogniZance of the cul-
tivatior of flowers 1t was common
throughout western Asia and Greece.
1t is the lily generally referred to In the
Hebrew scriptures, although common
tators say that the lilies of the field
spoken of by Jesus I'm the sermon on
the mount were the red anemones, with
which all the hills of Galilee are dotted
in the spring In heather Asia the
white lily was the emblem of purity.
The Greeks had a myth that it sprang
from the milk of Hera, queen or the
gods, with whom the Roman Juno was
afterward identified. The Greeks also
held the lily 10 be the highest type OF
purity. In the early centuries of 1.-The
Christian era the new religion made
this idea little more sublime, and the
lily became the symbol of heavenly
purity. Thus the lily is fittingly asso-
ciated with the Easter ceremonies.

The question OF reciprocal trade re-

canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest Whatever

has brought out the fact that on the
canadian side of the line the agri-
|cultural situation Is one that forces
ATTENTION, and it has also brought forth
hhe fact which 1t is well to face, that
lon the American side of the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
tion to be fed with somewhat de.
creasing proportion of food products.

ures show that upwards of 10000
Americans located In Canada, and the
Ereatest majority of these have settled

treated thus were those of DR.. G. S.

MEXICAN CAPITAL
AWAITING MADERO
REVOLUTIONARY HERO WILL BE
GIVEN MAGNIFICENT RECEP-
TIoN BY PoPULACE

Mexico City, June 6.-No citizen
of Mexico was ever given a more en-
thusiastic reception than that which
is planned for Francisco |. Madero,
Jr., when he enters the capital to-
morrow. Soldiers of the army which
he has been fighting since November
20, 1910, will line the street. In
his honor military bands Wa play
and the police whose duty it once
was to arrest those who cried Viva
Madero" will join the ovation.
Officially he is but private citi-
zen and therefore the guns of the
garrison may render him no salute.
and legally the Mexican hymn may
not be played, but all that may be
done under the law will be done by
Official Mexico, as well as by the
populace, to make him welcome.
But there may be one note of dis
appointment for thousands of men
who have borne the hardships of
campaign. The revolutionists in Cuer-
navaca are to have no part in the
celebration.
Fearing that the presence of so
many armed men, not accustomed to
the discipline of the regular army
might result in trouble, the govern
ment officials have deemed it wise
to refrse their plea for participation.
Madero's train will be met a short
distance out of the city by another
on which will be committees repre-
senting various political clubs.

SUICIDES AFTER
CONFESSING Crime
TRAGIC DEATH OF CHICAGO MAN
REVEALS EXISTENCE OF BAND
OF INcENDIARIsTS

Chicago, June 6.-Leopold Dreyfus,
of the firm of L.. Dreyfus & COM
,pany committed suicide today, after
having confessed, the police declare,
that he was party to the burning Of
his place of business in Marquette
street last Saturday afternoon.
The confession is regarded by the
police officials as evidence of the
existence of an organized band of in
cendiaries who, for a stipulated price,
offer to set fire to business houses.
The confession, in substance, the
police, say, was that two men ap-
preached Dreyfus and his brother
about week ago and offered to burn
the building, fixing $4,000 as their
price. Dreyfus is declared to have
agreed to $4,000.
Dreyfus and his brother were ar
rested yesterday afternoon and after
the confession, Leopold Dreyfus was
permitted to go to his home in the
custody of a policeman. While in an.
other room today, Dreyfus shot him.

TEXAS SENATOR LAUDS JEFFER-

CONFEDERATE VETERANS

Washington, June 6.-Senator Jo'
seph w. Bailey of Texas, addressed
a gathering of Confederate veterans
last night in observance of the birth
day of Jefferson Davis. He said Da-
Wis YVES less responsible for the con-
flict between the states than any 9TH

the South to abandon the hope OF a
reconciliation. THE truth of history
was with the Confederate people,
said the senator. THE fathers would
never have formed this union II they
had not believed that it could be dis
solved for cause. If the southern
people believed they could not remain
in the union with honor and satetV
they had a right to secede."
Senator Bailey presented an aged

ITS OPPONENTS CONTEND THAT
1T is A TRICK TO DEFEAT
VALIDITY OF BILL

Washington, June 6.-Hopes of the
administration that the finance com
mittee would report the Canadian re
ciprocity bill unamended, were dashed
away when, after a brief executive
session today of the committee, ii
was learned that the Root amend
ment to the paper and wood pulp sec
ton probably would be adopted in
modified form.
1t was said that in addition to seven
republican members of the commit
tee, Senators Bailey, Simmons and
Johnson, democrats, would vote for
the amendment, while Senators Pen
rose and Cullom are declared to be
with the three democrats in opposi-
ton, thus presaging the adoption of the
by vote of 10 to 5. Final
of the measure will be
begun by the committee tomorrow.
The amendment offered by Senator
Root provides that the paper and
wood pulp sectio nof the bill shall
lot be in force until the president
shall have satisfactory evidence and
hail make proclamation that such
wood pulp. paper and board, being
he products of the United States,
re admitted into all the provinces of

It is contended by its opponents that
he amendment, raising the question
1 the dominion governments jurisdic-
ion over the provinces, will endan-
er the measure, a contention that
S refuted by those who believe in
he provision.
The modification of the amendment
nay have an important bearing on the
situation. Secretary of State Knox

ITS AFTER-DECK VISIEBLE
NAVAL BOARD TO MAKE THOR
OUCH EXAMINATION OF
sUNKEN WARsHIP
HOPE TO LEARN SECRET
AFTER MANY YEARS, REAL CAUSE
OF EXPLOSION MAY BE
DETERMINED

Havana, June 6.-The work of
pumping the water out of the Golfer
dam which was built around the wreck
OF the battleship Maine, was resum-
ed this morning. The greater part
ofsthe after deck is now clearly Wis
ible, showing the confused masses of
wreckage covered with marine
growths. The forward part of the
ship, on which the greatest force OF
the explosion was exerted, is still sub
merged.
1t is the intention of the engineers
to proceed slowly with the pumping
until 5 o'clock this afternoon and
then suspend operations until the ar
rival of the board OF the American
naval officers tomorrow, after which
the work will proceed rapidly.
The most important feature of the
removal of the water so far is the
strong indication that the main Golfer
dam will fulfill all expectations of
the army engineers by resisting the
tremendous water pressure from the
outside.
