Anglers were delighted to read The
Evening Stars river report from Har-
pers Ferry the middle Of the week. The
report told Of the great improvement In
the condition OF the waters of the Po-
tomac and Shenandoah rivers at that
point, and a number of them hurried
away to try their luck.

muddy again." said one of a party start
ing Thursday for Harpers Ferry.
Dealers in live bait experienced sud
den demand on their stock, and it was
necessary for them to repienish with
large additions in order to supply the
Saturday and Sunday trade.
The continued muddy water proved dis
heartening to the bass fishermen. some
of them had about concluded that .nes

son, approaching the fact that the long
dry spell had given them an exceptional

Reports received from points up the
river yesterday were to the effect that
anglers were experiencing great luck.
The fish seemed as If they had been on

PLANS OF COMMISSION
FOR CURRENCY REFORM
Report Expected in December.
Preliminary Action Taken
in the Senate.

That next December will see the fling
| in Congress of the final report of the
| national monetary commission. Senator
| Aldrich, chairman, with its plans for
national banking and currency reform,
was indicated in the Senate yesterday
| afternoon.
Secretary Of State Knox rendered his
! resignation as a member of the COM
mission, Vice President Sherman appoint
ed Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania. who
| is chairman of the Senate finance CONF
mittee to succeed Mr.. Knox. and Senator
Penrose reported from the finance com.
mittee the Cummins bill terminating ths
| life of the commission next December. As
Senator Cummins was not in the Senate
at the time. no action was taken on the
| bill, but it is expected that the Iowa
senator will call it up early for passage
Penrose to Handle Reform Bill.
The appointment OF Mr.. Penrose to this
commission indicates that he will take
charge of the passage through the Senate
of the commissions financial reform bill.
That is expected to be one OF the inn
portant pieces OF legislation to be con-
sidered at the next session of Congress.
and if the Aldrich plan. as already made
PUBIC, is 1OUOWeu. II plS HS1ll Is dSsUI cu
The Cummins bill to terminate the COM
mission is the result of objections on the
part of some members OF Congress. II
was contended the commission should
not be made a harbor OF refuge for men,
bers of Congress who have not been able
to weather reelection storms. Over half
the members Of the commission have
ceased to be members Of Congress, but
are drawing the same salary as members
Of the monetary commission.
Called Up by Cummins.
Some days ago Senator Cummins asked
Senator Penrose when the Senate finance
committee was going to report on his bill.
Mr.. Penrose replied that Chairman AL
drich was soon coming to Washington
and that the bill would be acted on as
soon as Mr.. Aldrich's views on the pro-
gress of the commissions work was
learned. Mr.. Aldrich came here a few
days ago to testify before the Lorimer
committee. and in reporting the Cummins'
bin yesterday Senator Penrose said he
had consulted Mr.. Aldrich and found that
the work was expected to be concluded
anyway by next December, and there
was, therefore, no objection to the pas
sage Of the Cummins measure.

Peers Give It Up.

The impressive gathering was at Lans-
downe house, where more than 200 peers,
including almost all the greatest names
of their order, listended to the prime
minister's letter. and practically decided
that they must accept the inevitable. n
statement was given out that the peers

Apparently this was mere temporizing
The lords are not anxious to emphasize
their surrender. butt speaking privately,
few failed to say that they no longer
consider themselves, in Lord Lansdowne' s
words. free agents, and will yield to the
government threat.
After the cabinet council Premier AS
quith wrote second letter to Lord
Lansdowne, asking for assurance that
the house, of lords will pass the veto bill
in its original form 1t is understood that
LanSdoWne. while himself willing to coun-
sci the abstention of the unionist peers
from the final stages Of the bill, was un-
able to give the required assurance.
This shows that the ''inSurgent' peers
are still unsubdued. and that it may yet
be necessary to create a batch of peers
to overcome their resistance.

School Was Ridiculed.

The Concord School of Philosophy pro-
voked considerable ridicule, and much
satire was expended upon the mysticism
and characterization which were in
volved in the instruction. 1t must be ad-
miited that his most devoted pupils never
understood much that Mr.. Alcott said in
his addresses. and some scofferS went so
far as TO assert that he did not under
stand it himself. Emerson, his beloved
colleague and friend for lifetime observ-
ed in one of his famous ESSAYS that Ito
he great Is often to be misunderstood -
and in that sense dear old Mr.. Alcott
who had the face and the faith of a
prophet, may certainly be reckoned among
our most eminent men.
The Concord School OF Philosophy began
in the library OF Orchard House. which,
from 1898 to 1883, was the home of Louisa
Nj. Alcott, author of Little Women" one
Of the most charming and widely read
books for girls that was ever written. AS

for many years. After the death of MI.
Afcott Orchard House was purchased by
On. William T. Harris. one of the lee
turers at the School OF Philosophy who
endeavored TO carry on the instruction,
but failed TO excite much enthusiasm.
When he was afterward appointed com
missioner of education at Washington
Orchard House was purchased by Mrs.
IDothrop. II was her intention to restore
II TO perfect condition and present the
property to the village OF Concord as a
literary museum for the exhibition of re-
mnders of the men who made Concord
famous as a literary center But the
death OF her husband and financial re-
verses postponed the contamination OF
this plan. and Mrs. Lothrop has been
working for years TO organize some move
ment by which II could be carried out
She has finally succeeded. and although
the house is in bad condition and needs
a lot of paint and repairing, its memories
are as good new.
The rooms OF Louisa Alcott and her
sister May who was the heroine OF
Little Women" have never been altered
and the paintings upon the doors and the
walls OF Mays room may be seen there
just as they are described in the story
The desk upon which the manuscript OF
Little Women was written Is pine
board nailed between the windows OF
Louisa Alcott's room. and 1t has never
been disturbed.

produced a crisis. The vigorous anti
clerical program that had been arranged
and published as the platform" Of the
new cabinet, of which Butcher Weyler
of Cuban fame was a member became
a dead letter as soon as the new govern
ment was formed. The Vatican inter-
viewed the new powers and was complete
ly satisfied with the outlook. The recog-
milton Of the legality of all religious or
ders by royal decree in violation of the
announced program was announced. The
whole platform was knocked into a cock
ed hat without word of explanation or
apology to the hosts that had hoped for
vigorous anti-clerical activity The royal
decree was illegal because it ignored
the provisions Of certain already existing
laws. but it was enough to set the Span
iards by the ears. A new law under
which the friars could be regulated and
most of them expelled was drafted. and
Canalejas was credited with having writ
ten most of its provisions. But it was
decided not to present it to the cortes

on Return to Power.

United States had increased the national
debt to point at which strict economies
We're necessary, and the immigration of a
large number of monks and nuns into

discord. The conservatives had allowed
the monastic orders to do as they pleased

have a good time, and they had it.

Of it.
In the forenoon, before reaching
the Fair grounds, the drummers
paraded the streets, along which
they were acclaimed with cheers.
The parade was unique in many re-
spects. and there is always about
such demonstration some novelty,
original and strictly in keeping with
the drummer's conception of fun.
The drummers, or rather CONNER

good will.
