There is an old lady living in a small town in southern Pennsylvania who makes great efforts to keep abreast of the times. Her opportunities, how ever. are circumscribcd, and she is sometimes compelled to resort to her imagination. She went to q church sociahle lately. and as she entered the room one of the attendants said:
 Good evening. auntie. l am glad you came. We are going to have tableaux this evening"
 "Ycs. know" replied the old lady; q smclt 'em when | first came in."- New York Globe.

MEXICO CITY WAS DRY
AUTHORITIES CLOSED ALL sA-

flame Feelings Against Americans
in Mexico Cause Action.

Mexico City, May 19.-As a result OF
an order by the authorities closing all
saloons and pulque shops and calling
off all public gatherings from Satur-
day night until this morning, the CAPT
tai had one of the quietest Sundays
experienced in months.
The governments action was
prompted by the great number of
alarming rumors that have been in cir
culation for the past two or three days.
The most persistent of these reports
was to the effect that Ambassador
Wilson had asked for his credential.
and another was that detachment OF
American troops had landed at Vera
Cruz and that an invasion Of the coun-
try by an American army was taking
shape.
These stories, which were at once
discredited by the better element.
caused great deal Of alarm. 1t is gen
orally conceded, however. that they
were put out to inflame the Mexicans
against Americans in Mexico
All Americans wishing free trans
portation home send name and address
to Dr. William NJ Wiley, Isabel La
Catolica Co."
This advertisement in the Mexican
Herald brought responses from several
hundred Americans now in the capital.

ANHUT GUILTY OF BRIBERY
Jury Decides That Lawyer Offered
$4,000 to Free Harry x. Thaw
From insane Asylum.

New York, May 20.-John Nicholson
Anhut, lawyer, was Saturday found
guilty Of offering $4,000 bride to DR..
John w. Russell, superintendent of
the Matteawan asylum at the time,
for the freedom of Harry K. Thaw.
Anhut displayed calmness, when the
verdict was brought in. He is TWEEN
ty-nine years old and was born in
Michigan, where he was once SEN
&tor. The maximum penalty in his
case under the law IL ten years in
prison and a fine of $500.
Giving the case to the jury, Justice
Seabury explained the law defining
bribery. He charged the jury that If
d bride had been offered Anhut should
be punish. He left the jury to decide
the question whether Anhut offered
the bride or DR.. Russell solicited it.
Justice Seabury said that while
Thaw had been adjudged insane the
fact need not influence the jury's con-
sideration of his testimony, because
an insane man might give as good tes-
timony as anyone, so long as 1t did not
touch on his own peculiar delusion.

JAP REPLY READY
ANSWER TO- PROTEST AGAINST
ALIEN LAND LAWS APPROVED
BY CABINET.
BOTH DOCUMENTS A SECRET

for, Following Gov. Aehnsnn's sigr-
Ing Bill Which Caused lmbroglio.

Washington. May 19,-Wlth the ex-
pectation that he federal govern
ment will defend the Californians
against the Japanese protests against
the anti-alien legislation adopted by
the Pacific states legislature and
with the American reply to that COM
plant ready for transmission to the
Japanese embassy here, the serious
ness of the situation will now large
ly depend the reception which will be
accorded the answer by the Japanese
public as we'll as to the protest
which called it forth.
Neither of these documents Is
ready for publication, though ar
engagements are already under way for
their simultaneous publication here
and in Japan. The reply of the Uni-
ted States has been prepared, and
was discussed at length Friday at
the cabinet meeting.
Neither the president nor Secretary
of State Bryan will discuss either the
terms OF the protest or the reply. or
the probable time at which the latter
will be transmitted to Ambassador
Chinda. 1t is believed, however. that
the reply will not be sent until Cor
ernor Johnson has actually affixed his
signature to the bill which has caused
all the trouble.
Just how serious the situation is.
no one In authority here will discuss
But the mystery which has enveloped
the present state OF the negotiations
has given rise to general feeling &C
apprehension, as well as to all re-
ports of speculations concerning the
attitude of the two governments.
Secretary Bryan feels that the stu
alton is exceedingly delicate, and
seems to fear that agitation, both
here and In Japan, that have nothing
to do with the subject may make q
lot more trouble at any time.

Washington, May 20.-In an al,
address at d meeting of the Washing

celebrate the fourteenth anniversary
of The Hague Peace tribunal, Secre-
tary Bryan created stir by attack
ing the battleship building and ATmor

He said that they were responsible

Krupp works bought space in German

hide behind the plea of patriotism as
they attempt to advance their own
pecuniary interests. The world is
learning that back of much OF the
furore for war, back OF much of the
string OF the passions of the people
is the interests in armor plate and
in battleships on the part of corpor-
ations whose business it is to build
these battleships and to make this
armor plate. 1t has even been found
that men in one country will spend
the money to stir UP in another coun-
Try feeling against their own co1n-

of money than that you Will have an
inventive genius of which you may
be proud. Is there any baser money
than that of money used to stir mp
feeling against ones own country in
order to coin that feeling into larger
dividends and more business?
Not only that, but | believe that
with greater intelligence, people
will begin to discriminate between
patriotic newspapers and newspapers
which are more interested in big head
lines and Sensational news than in the
spread of truth.
