Uses of the plantain.

The plantain is one of those articles
Of food which are at once cheap ana

inexpensive, and swampy places are

No part of the tree is without its bene-
fit in the economy of life. Its leaves
serve the purpose Of plates and dishes.
The ripe fruit is eaten with relish.
The flower. the stem, the green fruit,
are all constituents of the vegetable

FIRST GUN IS FIRED
FOR IMPEACHMENT
Resolution Against SuIzer in
New York Assembly.

At Albany, n Y, in heated
session lasting, until one o'clock in
the morning, the assembly adopted the
Frawley committee report virtually
demanding the impeachment of Gov
ernor Sulzer The vote was 65 to 80.
Assemblyman Levy majority leader,
Immediately moved that the governor
be impeached. By vote of 50 to 30,
action on this resolution was post
poned a day.
Shortly before midnight Assembly
man A. ]. Levy, majority leader Of
fe~ed a resolution for the impeach-
ment of Governor Sulzer "for wilful
and corrupt conduct in office and for
high crimes and misdeameanors"
The vote on the resolution was de-
fe=red until the next day by agree
ment of the leaders of the anti-Sulzer
Democrats. They said they had the
necessary 76 votes assured, major
ity of the assembly, but only rs were
at the session at night.
The present plan is to rush the
resolution for impeachment through
at once, although extraordinary op-
position in the way of arguments and
calls for fair play, if not possible
votes, have developed protesting
that the governor must not be rail-
roaded no matter what he had done,
that the report of the F'rawley COM
mittee, which was introduced in the
assembly by Mr.. Levy was stamped
with insincerity and prejudice and
that there was grave doubt of the
rigth to impeach the governor at an
extraordinary session not called for
that specific purpose, Republicans,
Progressives and independent Demo
Gratis pleaded the cause of the gov
ernor until the banging of Speaker
Smiths gavel was lost in the cheers
of the visitors who crammed the as
sembly chamber.
The assembly voted to receive the
Frawley report by vote of 65 to 35
after beating, 20 to 81, Senator Hin
mans resolution that it be referred
to a committee.

AT Philadelphia. Pa, about two hun
dred persons were caught in the col
lapse of band pavilion in Fairmont
park at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
when the worst storm of many years
struck this city. Rain, hail, lightning
and a sixty-mile wind did great dam
age all over the city, but the worst &C
cident was that at the park. One baby
was killed and fifteen of the most
severely injured are in hospitals near
the park.
More than 100 of the injured man
aged to drag themselves to their
homes. Only the fact that the paw
lion was of light construction, with
out any real heavy joists, prevented
a terrible catastrophe. The crowd

Sightseeing Auto Wrecked.
At the height of the storm a large
sightseeing automobile carrying a
crowd of picnickers was being pushed
20 it's utmost to get the gay merry
makers under cover. The wind blew
the flowing necktie of the driver into
his face. He lost control for an in
slant and the big machine was

Large plate glass windows in the
downtown stores were smashed like
so much tissue paper. The wind tore
the roof from the building of the
Franklin Trust company's building,
and the roofs of eleven houses were
carried away bodily.
Worse in Outlying Districts.
Reports from the outlying districts
show that the storm was even worse
than Philadelphia. These reports
are meager and are being obtained
chiefly from passengers on belated
trains. Early reports show that many
of the magnificent homes in the
suburbs and along the main line"
are wrecks. Many fine suburban
greenhouses are reported to have
been greatly damaged by the hail.

One morning when Hookham Frere

afternoon when he was in lodging off
Pail Mall He talked uninterruptedly
for about two hours. during which
Wordsworth listened to him with pro-

Turkish POSTAGE Stamps.

Because of a passage in the Koran
forbidding the making of images,
Turkish postage stamps have no pic
ure, but bear instead the sign manual
of the sultan, which is, in fact, an I'M
preston of his imperial hand. This
signature is said to have had its or1-
gin with the Sultan Murad l., who, on
completing a treaty with the Italian
republic of Ragusa in 1866, and being
unable to sign his name, applied ink
to his open hand and slapped 1t upon
the parchment.

His Presentation Speech.

In Italy in the days when Queen
Margherita was the lovely young bride
of the then crown prince little anec-
dote of her reception in one of the hill
towns was current alike in society and
in the press. The little boy who was
to present the usual bouquet was the
son of a distinguished literary man.
and he had been taught pretty poem
of few lines in graceful praise of the
princess. But when the moment came
to recite he stood mutely gazing at her
too overcome to speak. After a mo-
ment in order to relieve the situation
the princess smiled and held out her
hand for the flowers The little fellow
held back for a moment, then. to the
delight of the assembly, explained con-
fidentially as he gave the flowers to
her:

overlook the fact that Washington has
some other consecutive performers.
In fact. with Cashion going good its
pitching staff is second to none. willie
Eddieward Ainsmith feminist the marble
Griffith has some home defense. Ansmith
can certainly rap the reach and run
bases, not to mention his pegging.
McGraW says that a pitching staff is
70 per cent of club. and on this percent
age Griffith seems TO have a shade on
Boston this year. Not having ogled the
McGillicuddy show. friend writer is in no
form to opine. But Philadelphia National
Leaguers say that the Athletics are bet
ter than ever.
Washington made dent in the metrop-
oils. No question. She showed an all
fired aggressveness, shot with red pep
per and comedy. 1t is q unique club.
None like it. In days gone by an organi-
zation at times boosted of one clown, but
never before did big league company
sport two funmakers.
Marceline Schaefer and Slivers Altrock

number of hearty laughs. In fact, all the

crowds, but they have discouraging eff
feet on the opposing team. Grim hltS
to the telderS in such way that they
are forced to make circus plays on most
of the balls and this always proves en-
joyable
During the last five minutes of practice
AltrOck holds down first and Schaefer
plays short Schaefer makes his throws
to first behind his back and Altrock
catches behind his back. This sort of
horse play brings lot OF applause for
the two comedians.
Unless there is Il decided brace on the
part Of the pitchers of both the Boston
and Philadelphia teams before the Ma
tionals get to them, those clubs are not
going to find any easy picking. Neither
of them has played game in which
each side has not been forced TO use two
or more pitchers. which would indicate
that their twirlers are far from being in
condition Griffiths players are flied
with confidence and expect TO Win ma
jority OF the games from their bitterest
rivals.
Chance, of course, will be censured for
the poor showing of the New York club
though he is really in no way to blame
The team which was handed him cannot
be expected to cut much of a figure i'll
the race, BECAUSE aside from d nucleus
