INDIAN PRINCE TELLS OF NEW LOYALTY AS
 RESULT OF DURBAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24 - Prince Sarath Ghosh, whose name is by-word for scholarship in India, has given out an interview since his arrival from the Orient yesterday Tn which he says that the Delhi durbar served to create a new sen. timent of loyalty to the crown throughout the provinces of India.
 Prince Ghosh, In spite of his 21 years of age. is one of the recogniz- ed leaders of his race, and the au- thor of the book which he believes inspired the colonial government with the ideal of holding the dur bar. In his book, The Prince of Destiny" he pointed out that magnificent symbolic spectacle that would strike the imagination of the smaller rulers and the masses. would check revolutionary feeling and re store loyalty.
 Prince Ghosh is maharajah of Pa. tiala and is now paying his first visit to the United States, in the expectation of finding ideas applica- 5le for the advancement of his own country. He wears a rich Oriental

 That Zapata is a ruffian pure and simple is not altogether true. Attired always in the close fitting trousers of the charro costume, bolero coat and peaked sombrero. silent and dis trustful, he is not man to grace diplomatic reception at Chapultepec, and his men. wandering in bands far from his headquarters, often times have committed atrocities which place them beyond the outpost of civilization, but rarely have such barbarous acts been attributed per sonally to Zapata. On the contrary, there are stories of leniency and of a rough courtesy, which. if true. must cause one to believe that the leader of this new rebellion is a man who has been painted in too vivid colors

SWITZERLAND AIDS PEOPLE

PARIS, Feb. 24-Important social reforms have been voted by the swiss people at a recent special election. By 250,0OO against 22O poo. new law for insurance against illness and accidents was adopted The law is really in two parts. both ot which have been adopted by the SWISS parliament. The first part rel ative to insurance against illness met with no serious opposition, but the second, relative to insurance against accident, was combared somewhat in parliament because ii involved the establishment of nat. lonal fund of about $1,6Oo,0oo ann ually.
 The opponents of the social meas ure carried on a systematic but futile campaign among the people, contending that such an immense appropriation would endanger the national treasury and that it con stituted a doubtful adventure for a state to mingle in a matter which properly belonged to private com panies.

GOES TO GALLONS
 REFUSING RETRIEVE

MEMPHIS. Tenn.-Mrs. Elizabeth Ship Relies. who married one man in he afternoon and another that night and was freed from her first hus. band only after legal battle. may be freed of her second for another for he has filed suit for divorce
 On the morning of Feb. s, 1908, the slip of a girl was Miss Eliza. beth Ship. Is. and beautiful. That afternoon at three o'clock she be came Mrs. Harris Butler. A few hours later she married Joseph Rolfes.
 IL was not until the next day that clerks in the marriage license bureau noticed that two licenses had been issued in one day to Miss Elizabeth Ship. Reporters swarmed down upon her at the home of her second husband, and she told her story.
 'I have loved Joe for long. long time she said "I used to think loved Mir. Butler and l was en- gagged to him. After I met Joe I kept putting off MT. Butler, who wanted to be married at once.
 My relatives finally took a hand and demanded that l marry the man was engaged to. I protested. but they tcld me I did not know my own mind They went ahead and made all arrangements for the we'd ding. MT Butler got the license and was called into the parlor when everything was ready Before knew what was going on-really. can't remember thing about it MT Butler was kissing me and call ing me wife
 When the others had left us began to realize my position. l made up my mind to join Joe. Excusing myself from Mr. Butler, I stepped to the kitchen. took the cooks coat ana nat ana lied rom the house found Joe and We decided to be married. l knew they couldn't make the first marriage stand He got a license through a friend and We were married at his mothers home and we're happy, aren't we. Joe?"
 Joe affirmed that they were. but that was three years ago. Butler fought the case in the courts. but lost. The courts held that in the in terests of public policy the latter marriage must stand, as the first had been a mere ceremony.
 But now Joe seems to have changed his mind. He charges desertion.

PED[ER WH0 LEADS
 AN ARMY

CITY OF MEXICO. Feb. "A -- Should the rebellion inaugurated by Emiliano Zapata result in the over hroW of the Madero government, there would be added to Mexico's history chapter that is unique in this country.
 Previous revolutions have received their impetus from men of high in diligence and usually of culture Zapata's most advanced point in the social plane was that of an itiner- ant merchant. a peddler. Officially his name has been written on the records of his country, prior to the Madero revolution, as that of a private in the Mexican army. There is one more entry. that recording his desertion from the army.
 Those unacquainted with Zapata frequently make the mistake of sty- ling him illiterate That is not true. He can read and write, and has the rudiments of common school education. Added to that, he poss- esses, shrewdness which, combined with stubbornness, a personal mag netism and a bravery which no one denies, makes him person truly formidable.
 Zapata's enforced patriotic ser vice to his country came to an end in just one year. He was in jail in Ayala during the early part of the Madero revolution. One night there was a jail delivery and Zapata, at the head of handful of men who had been his companions in the little prison, declared himself leader in the cause of Madero.
 Zapata's band of rebels attained size that made it one of the most formidable fighting forces south of the City of Mexico. The revolu- tionary junta was glad to take ad- vantage of the services of Zapata, and he was ordered to report to Gen. Ambrosio Fugueroa, commander in-chief of the army of the south.
 Between Fugueroa and Zapata there always has been deep-seated an tagonism. Fugueroa is man of ed ucation and of some military train ing. Between him and Zapata there could be nothing in common As leader of the army of the south Flu gueroa was entitled to credit for the southern campaign, which so nearly resulted in the capture of the City of Mexico. As a matter of fact, great part of the credit was really due to Zapata The antagon- ism resulted in jealousy on the part of both and so it was that an at tempt made late in the day to pacify the people of Morelos by in stalling Fugueroa as governor only made Zapata the more determined to overthrow the central government which he had fought to establish.
 Steadily his forces grew as they had during the days of Madero's re- volt, until on February 1 of this year he found himself at the head of fore es to such numbers as to cause the

Higher Plane Is Better.

Suppose you conform to the weath- CT, suppose you adjust your sales to those great prominent impulses of human justice which are now abroad in the land, and see how the sail will belly out and how a new power will come into the craft, and how much easier she is to steer when sails are filled than when they are empty. You cannot steer your bus mess against the great currents of this day of change and of enamel pation Now l am not saying this by way of criticism; I am saying it by way of a challenge. Isn't it worth while to come out upon a plane of vision? Isn't it worth while to transform your business so that it will exceed the boundaries of your office and take on some thing of the outlooks that please the eye when we think of the prospects of humanity? Isn't it worth while to make a business a great enter prise of human justice, and crown the achievement with all those wis ions of the equality of man in which America was born, in which she was conceived and by which alone she can come to her destiny?"

MRS. WASHINGTON
 TURNED DOWN

KANSAS CITY, March i0.-Re- solved: Martha Washington's lot was better than ours.
 Affirmative, ?; negative, 9S-Vote of the Women's Dining Club at it's Martha Washington dinner last night.
 One hundred women made merry for three hours last night with the names of George and Martha Wash ington at dinner for women only. at the Tea Cup Inn It was the Martha Washington dinner of the Woman's Dining Club. At the close of several toasts and debate a vote on the resolution, Martha S lot was better than ours" stood: Yes, ?; No, 98.
 Mrs. o. M, Van Dorston led off with response to the toast: "Martha's Husband and Mine'
 T know my husband suits me much more than George would have done, she said. Tn. the. first place George would have. been shocked to death if Martha ever suggested to him that she was going out for the evening to dinner Now. my husband took it just as sweetly when l told him that he could stay home and take care of the children. I told him he could go out to the picture show after the children were asleep if he were real good"
 If Jack, the son of Martha Wash ington, were living now he probably would be a ward of the juvenile court" Miss Attic Moorman amour ced in her toast to, "Martha's Child Ten and Mine" Jack road to the hounds and gambled. His father paid his debts"
 As to Martha's' amusements can find none,"n said Miss Katherine Baxter. What. is more, have failed to find Martha Washington mentioned in any encyclopdia. Just think what Martha missed by not being able to play golf, tennis, go to the theater and have hundred other amusements that the women of today indulge in '. '.~
 Martha Was A Spender.
 Martha expenses were much more enormous than those of the women of today, even if things do cost more now Miss Katherine Stiles said. And then the speaker read list of 'ndmerods articles Martha Washington bought for her wedding rousseau the names of which were meant only fer the ears of the hearers.
 Miss Emmiline Chandler ended the toasts by reading a poem on the trials of Martha Washington, the subject being Truthful George" The speaker concluded that she would rather have a husband who could "fib" a bit on occasion.
 Following. debate on. whether Martha's lot was better than that of the women of today Mrs. Fannie E. Hughey of. St Louis spoke on the subject, What is. our respon- sibility in determining the. type of the future American citizen?"
 A Talk On Sane Life.
 The old idea of discipline of the child has given way to spontaneous development or do as you please method," she said We will have nation of insane persons after while unless we can stop the mad rush that results in the intense nervousness of today. We must study child culture and teach the future race how to work, when to take it up and when to drop it. l am here to obtain the support of this club in a movement to teach children the proper methods of living"
 Many of the women were Colonial costumes Miss Annette Moore, who was postmaster, is president of the organization. The meeting adjourned at II o'clock. .
