A black, silk umbrella with a gold

either mislaid or taken by mistake at
the last meeting of the K. H. w. Club.
Probably the reason why it has not been

name was not on it, and anyone on dis
covering their mistake would not know
to whom to return it. 1t is needless to
add that Mrs. Liebel would be delighted
to get it again.

LAW IN DISORDER
Extreme Measures Necessary in
Suffragist Demonstrations.
Heated Debates on Floor of
House of Commons.

London, March 1S.-The methods
of the government in dealing with
militant suffragettes were discussed in
heated fashion in the house of COM
mons today. One of the unionist
members, Harold Smith, declared the
passive submission of the authorities
to hunger strikes and subterfuges had
brought ridicule on the administra
tion of the law.
For mob rule he urged, "ener-
gency measures are necessary. The
home secretary has reduced the ad
ministration of the law to a farce. The
natural consequence is that the mob
is taking the law into it's own hands.
1T is a disgrace to a civilized coun-
try that women are allowed openly to
boast that they are criminally con-
spring to break the law and that
nothing can deprive them of their lib
erty. The home secretary ought to
proclaim unlawful the meetings of the
militant suffragettes, but his only at
tempt to remedy the situation thus
far has been few puerile and futile
efforts at forcible feeling, barbaric in
their cruelty
Mr.. Smith turned upon the home
secretary and dramatically demanded
that he resign from the cabinet.
You are a hopeless failure, SIR
he shouted; this present serious state
of affairs can be handled only by
strong men,"

BRYAN INDISCREET
Such Is Belief of Morning Post,
British Newspaper.
Secretary of State Congratulate
ed Irish on Home Rule.

London, March 1S.-''A blazing indis-
cretion'' is how the Morning Post de-
scribes the speech of William ]. Bryan,
the secretary of state. at the ST.
Patrick's day banquet given by Irish
Americans at Washington on Saturday
evening. The Post reprints the portion
of the speech in which Mr.. Bryan con-
graduated the Irish nationalists in their
success of the home rule bill and re-
ferred to the virtual end of hereditarJ
rule in the British empire.
The Post says that while it does not
suppose that Mr.. Bryan intended to
give offense. he should understand that
his speech is regarded with keen resent
ment by many people in Great Britain
and in their opinion is a gratuitous and
warrantable interference in the domes-
tic affairs of the united kingdom.
''As in the prudence and sagacity
with which the secretary of state dis
charges his task depends the relations
of the United States with other coun-
tries continues the Post. 1T behooves
him to observe caution in his references

FOR BUDGET PLAN.
President Makes Known His
Ideas on Government Finance.
Letter on Subject Written to
Senator Tiliman.
QUIET WEEK AT WHITE HOUSE
and Family Will OBJ
serve Holy Week.
Delegations of School Girls to
Visit Him Today.

Washington, March 1s.-President
Wilson is in favor of a budget system
for the conduct of the government
finances. He made public today a let
ter written on January 80 from Tren-
ton to Senator Tfllman, expressing the
hope that budget system might be
worked out after he got to Wash
ington. President Wilson wrote in part:
Every since I was a youngster, L
have been deeply interested in our
method of financial legislation. One of
the objects 1 shall have most in mind
when I get to Washington will be con-
ferences with my legislative colleagues
there, with view to bringing some
budget system in existence. This busi-
ness of building at the expenses of the
nation piece by piece will certainly
lead us to error and perhaps embar-
ment."
This promises to be a quiet week
socially at the White House. President
Wilson will observe Holy week. He
wrote a letter to friend today, declin-
ing an invitation to a threatre, saying
he would be glad to go some other
time.
Four hundred school girls were to
invade the East room of the White
House during the day. Secretary Red

merce, arranged to escort one party

Democrat leaders in the New Jersey

passage of tn jury reform bill, but that
he had urged the prompt adoption of
the resolution providing for the direct
election of United States senator's
kilograms were received at the White
House today from state Senate Leader
Davis, stating that the jury reform bill
would go through the senate without
the referendum .aTlendm and
would be so presented for reconsider
alton by the house.
President Wilson today took under
an invitation to attend the
exercises of a memorial to
the dead heroes of the battleship
Maine in New York on Decoration
day. The president believed he might
be able to attend, because Decoration
day is a. legal holiday.

NOW A FREE MAN
Wisconsin Prisoner 81 Years
Behind the Bars.
Convicted of Murder in 1879.
Convict ParOIed Today.

Waupun. -7is., March 1s.-Edward
Eckart, of Pennsylvania, was paroled
today from the Wisconsin prison after
serving 81 years behind the bars. He
was convicted of murder when 21 years
old. He comes out of the darkness
at the age of SO, in splendid health and
with trade-that of a cook-which will
permit him to earn a good livelihood.
Eckert's victim was Charles Peterson.
The two were tramping in Wisconsin
during the excessively cold winter OF
1875. In a quarrel over a campfire
near Jefferson. Peterson was killed and
Eckert was sentenced to life impris-
onment for the murder. He never ad-
mitted his guilt.
During his prison confinement not
once was a mark of demerit placed
against Eckert's record. He was pro-
nounced a model prisoner. Eckart can
not leave Wisconsin and his conduct
must be exemplary in every way, other
wise his parole may be summarily
revoked and he returned to the prison
for the remainder of his days.
In the third of a century of isola-
ton, the prisoners kin deserted him
and he does not know whereabouts OF
his wife and daughter. The judge who
sentenced him and the district attor-
ney who prosecuted the case are dead
and only three of the jurymen are yet
living.

Caldwell, N. J., March 1S.-The little
wooden house where Grover Cleveland
was born attracted distinguished
company today for it's dedication as

which the presidents family occupied
when his father was pastor of the
Caldwell Presbyterian church. For it's
purchase the memorial association
raised S25,000, of which $4,000 was
contributed by residents of this town
and the rest by a number of wealthy
men, many of whom came here today
for the dedication. A movement is on
foot to raise SIS, 5000 more by popular
subscription to provide for its care.
Until this money is obtained and
caretaker installed the manse will con-
tinue to be occupied by the present
pastor of the church
The memorial is a two story frame
structure, set back from the road be-
hind two big elms. The association
intends to paint it white with green
trimmings and otherwise restore it to
the condition it was in when occupied
by the Clevelands. On the adjoining
Andrew Carnegie promised $500 for
this building.
