j. S. GOVERNMENT SERVES
AN ULTIMATUM ON MADERO

ment of 1lO men, while now there are
only sixty on the roll.
Following an advertisement for fifty
men, it became evident that no trouble
would be encountered in obtaining the
full quota.
The militia officers said that the or
der for a full company with further
instructions to prepare for immediate
service means the sixth division is to
be sent to Mexico
President Hopes for Best.
Washington April 2-The United
States government is now marking
time in the situation involving it's re-
lations with Mexico and President
Taft according to word that came
from the White House tonight, is con-
iident that it will not be necessary to
send troops across the border
President Maderos message to the
Mexican congress has stirred up no
resentment in Washington. The adj
ministration is willing to give every
assistance to Madero and to help him
in every move designed to quell the
revolution.
From Madero comes the informal
word that there is every confidence
that the army advancing on Mex
leo City will be vanquished. Orozco's
army is said to be made up of lawless
men who want to make their living
by bearing arms, and Madero hopes
that the trained government troops
will defeat the advancing hosts.
Emergency May Arise.
AS far as the United States is con
cerned, everything depends on wheth
er Madero is successful. What is
! feared here is that, if the advancing
army reaches Mexico City, there viii
at once be an attack on American citi
zens. That is the contingency fol-
congress and the president are prepar
ing.
1t was learned tonight that congress
will probably pass the Pepper bill
which provides that the state militia
can be moved from the territory o
the United States in case of Difficult
ties with foreign nation. This pave
.+the way for using the militia in cas-
of hostilities with Mexico.

Hamilton's time beats the worlds
record considerably At Pau, France,
recently Jules Verdines averaged 1OS
miles an hour in fight. Hamilton's
record is 136 miles an hour.
Landing in a plaza in Stockton, fin
ishing the record breaking dash from
this city, Hamilton was pulled from
his machine by mob that went wild
with enthusiasm.
Eager to get a souvenir the crowd
grasped Hamilton and as he was borne
on the shoulders of several men, the
rest of the crowd literally tore his
shirt off him and fought like mad for
pieces of it,
He was carried through the hun
dreds that had gathered and wildly
cheered on every side as king of air
men. After short stop in Stockton
Hamilton came back to this city to the
Hotel Sacramento.
When asked why he returned to
this city Hamilton said, why, l had
to get a shirt"

Their investors or competitors With
such a policy carried into effect, the
trust problem in its present form at
least, would be effectively solved"
Two schools Of thought, the attor-
ney general pointed out are now bus
led with the trust question.
Taft Recommends Act.
THE president, representing the
affirmative progressive school," he
continued, has recommended the en-
actment Of an act of congress under
which national corporations could be
organized to carry on commerce
among the states and with foreign
countries and subjected to appropri-
ate federal regulation.
States which derive a considerable
revenue from corporate organizations
object to this as involving the loss of
that revenue. Many persons who
dread the Capitalization OF power in
the national government object on
that account. They represent the ne
gative states right school of thought "
The attorney general believed the
presidents plan was the only logical
and effective way of dealing with the
problem.

Sometimes you may find it for the

head, causing uneasy dreams, and

prevent sleep altogether.

REMEMBER THE LOVED ONES
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That 10
Observed by People Of the
Isle Of Uehant.

In the Island OF Ushant-the isle
Of Fear"-there exists a custom prob
ably unknown in any other part Of
Christendom. When a native dies
abroad or Is lost at sea, his relatives
have a small wax cross made. some
seven inches long. This is solemnly
taken to the church and presented to
the priest, who deposits 1t in a box,
shaped like q cinerary urn. that hangs
on the south side Of the altar of st.
Joseph. This Is called the "Pro Ella"
cross, and is supposed to stand for
the spirit of the dead. These memo
rial symbols r allowed to accumu-
late In the box till the next church
mission comes round. As these revi-
val services are held only once in ev-
cry four or five years, the number Of
crosses may be very considerable. A
day is then set apart for their solemn
interment. It is the great day, the
climax Of the mission. The church is
draped In black and crowded with q
mourning congregation, many Of
whom break out into loud wailing.
The crosses are brought from their
urn In solemn procession, q requiem
mass is said owe them. and then they
ere carried to the churchyard, the
iron door Of the tomb is unlocked, and
they are inferred with full honors.
Throughout the year hardly q day
passes but some pious soul comes to
sprinkle the tomb with holy water
and say q prayer before It for the
dead.-Wide World Magazine.

There are microbes that are
menacing the church with dire de-

plague entitled Vacant Seats. There's
an influence arising from these weary,
dreary spews. that's as pestilential 40

The doctors ought to busy get. the

and then, It quickly broke. Thus
what the church needs most to fear.
is not the outside sin, but spineless.
lackadaisical inanity within. And that
which blocks and trips the church,
and rolls her down the stair, is the
nominal adherent who, however, isn't
there. If we could but eliminate this
stunting empty seat, the church would
