and statesmen in Washington, togeth-
er with extracts from public docu-
ments, all to show the tactics OF the
refining interests, in alleged alliance
with the beet sugar interests, with
the purpose of preventing the market
ing of any cane sugars except through
the sugar refiners. Another cause
that ms to be advocated by the Ca
tor is that of the annexation of trop-
ical countries to the south Of the Uni
ted States.
The chief aim of the June number
is to show that the Lodge bill. or the
compromise measure hung up in Con-
gress, while abolishing the Dutch
standard, substitutes branding pro-
vision that has practically the same
effect-namely, placing all cane SUI
gars at the mercy Of the refiners.

BEGAN WIRE ACT
 ON CUBAN FENCE
Maxine of Barnum & Bailey's Tells of BOyhOod Tricks That Led to His BecOm-
 ing a Circus Man

One of the wonders with the Bar mum & Baileys circus is Maximo, who is known as ''the drunk on the slack wire" It does not seem to matter to Maximo where he treads or how near he comes to falling. Of course he never tumbles. but it looks to the au- diences as if he occasionally over stepped the mark and would come down from his narrow path.
 'I learned wire walking" said Max imo yesterday, when l was a mere child In Cuba, right near that old home of mine, was a fence, pretty high above the ground. and it was con- sidered some feat when any of the that fence. There were some pretty bad falls
 T did 1t so much that began walk ing along the curbs on the sidewalks where We had them in that town. It became a habit with me to have my eyes on the ground all the time was walking, and if there was a line had to follow it with my eyes and feet.
 My father did not like my way of walking when I was going to church and I frequently was spanked for keeping to the narrow path. But, spanking or no spanking, I had to follow any line I saw. it came so natural tO t1c tldl lclt uSINOuo WiiCb I was walking on an asphalt side walk or street that did not have any lines.
 ITO my great joy. one day. when I was a trifle older, I got hold of the idea of running a rope along the old fence The fence had become so easy to me that it was no longer thrill ling to walk upon. My playmates dar- ed me to make the attempt on the rope. I did it, The first time I al- most tumbled, and all the boys laugh ed. ] walked to the end. though, and did 1t several times afterward.
 Then heard the call of the circus and finally proved that, although .ap- bearing as if I had enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine, could stick to the wire. Now I believe I am the high est salaried wire walker in the world. My father no longer scoffs at me when I find a line in the street, and I must confess that I still adhere to the same kind of walking. and there's never a ooin that I pass by. I bet I have found more different things on the sidewalk than any other man I know of"

 Admits Bigamy Charge.
 Frederick El Roseau, alias Freder- ick Roberts, who married Miss Cath crime I. Schmeltz of Norfolk, Decem- Der 10, 1910, has been arrested in New ark, ~. J., on a charge of bigamy. It is charged that at the time he mar ried Miss Schmeltz he already had a wife in Springfield, Mass, and that since he has married a third time. Three days after he married Miss SchmeltZ, he was driven from her home, after being caught stealing from members of the household as alleged. Roseau pleaded guilty and was held without bail. It is alleged that his first marriage was in Springfield, Mass, April 3, 1906. Then he mar ried a Miss Ulrich. He began to sell the furniture of his father-in-law and to abuse his bride to such an extent that her father hired detectives, who traced his career and learned of the other two marriages. Miss Schmeltz is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred erick Schmeltz of Norfolk. An ac- tion for the annulment of her mar riage with Roseau has been started.

THE WEATHER-THA ALL

(Boston Globe.) Not yet, garment coIored like the
 coat
 Which Joseph left behind him when
 he fled.
 Not yet thou muffler and ye woolen
 gloves.
 Nay, nor goloshes nor the flannel That wrap me close and irritate me
 much.
 Not yet will abandon thee, dear
 friends
 Though Spring allures, nay, nay, no,
 no, not yet!
 Did ye not hear the pibroch? That was the spring with her cohorts marching through wood and dell. Did you hear it? If you did your imag- ination is bromidic and you are quail flied to become one of the six best sellers.
 ''Get thee gone," Will Shakespeare once wrote, thou art f1ckle jade" and just as surely as Francis Bacon wrote Homer, Virgil, Plato and Aris- totle, the Bard of Avon meant the spring.
 She's gone and went, too Perhaps that ferreter of mystery, Sherlock Holmes, who does whatsoever he pleas es with bold, bad men, may tell where she hides. Perhaps some bardling, bursting with song that gnaws at his heart for voice as hunger gnaws at his little 'tummy,' may know, but if any reputable resident of this great and growing municipality is aware of her habitation, will he please stand up and tell the congregation?
 Those wise old ginks, Ptolemy and Sosigenes, who tinkered with the call endar a few years, slipped one over on the weather bureau for the year 1912 by advancing the advent of spring to March 20 She's here, O, yes she's nelS, mufflerS and other articles of ap pare1 that a mere man who does not know a bodice from a Surcingle is ut terly f1abbergasted.
 Therefore, as ocular proof that this is the season when one casts off the pagan on a holiday. the Weather Blu reau timorously submits this thrill ing forecast: Rain or snow Monday morning; probably clearing during the afternoon. For which, much thankS). The temperature will be about as 1t infallible' authority; the maximum was 37, the minimum 31. The precip- itation, which means snow and rain, for 76-100 of an inch yesterday. But it fell upon the unjust, too. for it showed and rained in New York.
 Wasn't it pleasant walking to church yesterday? The beautiful snow in the suburbs wrapped itself lovingly about one S ankles and if cod feet conduce to piety what devout persons listened to the sermons. And then the murmurous rain got busy and the fellow who likes to get close to nature muttered a malediction, dug up his pipe, slammed the door and vented his spleen for eight hours continuously in the solitude of his room.
 O, sure it's joyous spring-we don't think!

X WHILE FOR TIME.

4 Cleveland school teacher writes that she asked her class what was the difference between the expressions. "a while" and "a time,'' says the Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Nobody seemed to have any ideas or the subject. Fin ally the light of intelligence was seen to shine in the eyes Of one little boy, and the teacher called upon him to save the intellectual honor of the class.
 II know, teacher,' he cried eagerly. When papa says he's going out for a while, mamma says she knows he's go- ing out for a time!"
 That's one way of looking at 1t.

KINGS WILL WASH FEET OF
 THEIR SUBJECTS TO-DAY

To-day is Maundy Thursday, when the aged Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and the monarchs of the Bal Christian rite of 'fusswaschung," or foot washing This custom, long fol- lowed in nearly all Christian coun- tries, is still religiously observed by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, who manifests his Christian humility by washing the feet of some of his low ly subjects. The pedal extremities of those selected to be the recipients of the imperial favor are carefully scrub bed, however, before they present themselves before the venerable ruler.
 The Maundy Thursday observance is based on the washing of the feet of his disciples by Jesus on the eve of his passion. For centuries kings, popes, princes and distinguished lay men emulated the humility of Jesus by humbling themselves, on Maundy Thursday, to the task of washing the feet of peasants and paupers. Queen Elizabeth followed the custom, which was last observed by English royalty when James IT., on each Maundy Thursday, washed the feet of as many poor men as he was years old. Af- ter that the English kings appointed deputies to take charge of the ablu- tions, and when Queen Victoria as- cended the.throne the practice was en- tirely abandoned.
 To-day the Catholic church com memorates the institution of the Eu- charist by Christ, upon the occasion of his last supper with his disciples. The bells of Catholic churches are not rung to-day, and they will be stilled also on tomorrow and Saturday. In cnr nf -,,JN stitutes are to be found for the peal of the bells, which is not heard again until Easter morning. In the church. eS of Rome a great rattle is used to summon the faithful. At Barcelona, Spain, the cathedral has a variety of xylophone, called a matraca, which is beaten to call the people to church various cities of France and Spain horns, shells or trunpets are blown as substitutes for the bells.
 Champ Clark to-day rounds out his first year as Speaker of the House of SaVel on April 4, 1911, at the opening of the special session of the Sixty second Congress. It has been a busy year for the man from Pike" for, in addition to presiding over the House, he IS now in the midst of a campaign for the Democratic Presidential nom- ination.
 To-day is St. Ambrose Day, when Catholics honor the memory of the eminent father of the church who was Bishop of Milan in the fourth century. Ambrose was citizen of Rome, born in Gaul He became Bishop of Mi Ian in 374, succeeding Auxentius. The orthodox and the Arians were then at war, and when the people assem- bled in the church to choose a new bishop, the tide of contention ran high Ambrose appealed to them to lay aside their differences and to proceed to the election in the spirit of Christian hu- mility. When he had finished his address a child crdied. Am prose is bishop,' and this was immediately and unanimously rati- fled by the assemblage. During his entire life Ambrose was zea.ous in combating the Arfan heresy and the superstitions of the heathen He founded the famous church of St. Am prose at Milan in 3s7, ten years be- fore his death.
