with his wife. She was seated at this
side In their drawing-room feeding
him tiny scraps Of transparent breaoHs
and butter" The nobleman was en-
tirely satisfied to remain with her
when she was in this devoted mood,
and apparently Lady Caroline had
found him more to her taste than the
erratic Lord Byron.
In fact Lady Caroline went 30 far
as to burn the poets letters and the
miniature portrait he had given her.
She arranged all these souvenirs on
a funeral pile on the grounds of hes
estate and had the young farmers
daughters Of the neighborhood. clad
in flowing white garments, dance
around II singing some fantastic song
which she had composed for the oc-
casion.
Although LORD Melbourne never
again attempted to separate from his
fascinating wife, she continued 70 ex-
ercise the strange power OF her charm
on the men who came In contact with
her. It is said that 80 substantial en-
Engiishman ss Lord Lytton was a.
enc time deeply in love with her. II
was impossible for one who did mot
come under her influence to UNDER
stand the magic Of Il. She was small
and light and pale, with golden half
and large hazel eyes. wonderfully
beautiful teeth, and . musical voice.
Soon after her death at the age Of
forty-two. no less than ave novels
appeared whose leading characters
were more or less faithful representa-
tons OF this unusual woman.

NOT TO EyAouATE VERA CRUZ.

Again the administration has changed its mind
about the evacuation of Vera Cruz. 1t foreseen
when Huerta the country that there would be tur
moi In Mexican affairs That was inevitable. The
Huera faction has temporarily disappeared or is lend
ing its influence to make discussions between the Con-
stitutionalst leaders, and they at the point OF
another civil war.
All this was expected by Americans who know the
Mexican character and Mexican ways, Evidently it
wasn't expected by Mr.. Bryan who amiably believed
that now the Mexcans would act Just like the people
of Nebraska would. SO the state department acted
upon that belief and ordered the evacuation. Then,
in alarm, the event was postponed, and now the
state department doesn't know what to do the stay
of our troops is made indefinite. while there Is more
of the watching and waiting.
Meanwhile our continued occupation of Vera Cruz
is reviving ir Latin-Amerca the suspicious OF our
object there. The first announcement that the city
would be evacuated was favorably commented on by
the South American newspapers evidence that the
United States had intention to take Mexican terri
tory. 1t was believed that the troops would be re-
moved without delay, since the reason assigned for
the occupation of Vera Cruz had been removed.
As for any other reason for an American army to
retain hold upon Mexican city the American public
much in the dark the South Americans, unless
it is to act policeman for the interests of the men
who own big concessions in Mexico.

ENGLAND's WAR COST.

A million additional men to reinforce the million
and a quarter troops that England now has enrolled
are asked of Parliament by Premier Asquth and
there is to be another loan of billion dollars,
with s25O. 0O0O 900 increase in the income tax.
The magnitude of the European war Is now under
stood in England and also the enormous sacrifices it
involves great enough strain the whole resources of
the vast British Empire Men and money will be forth
coming beyond q doubt. Enlistments are now made
by volunteering but England Will have TO adopt the
German and French system of CONSUMPTION just as In
our Civil War had to resort TO bounties and the
draft to I'll armies
Our Civil War of four cost about four billion
dollars. In 1851 our population only 32,064000
and the nation poor In wealth compared with to-
day England has many times the wealth of the
United States 1851 and is much better able to
the war cost and losses, which now mounting up
to colossal 6gures In the end they may double and
treble those of our Civil War
But the United States has had IL compensatlons
We are now a nation of nearly one hundred Millions
aud our national wealth is greater than that Of
other nation How will England come ont in the end,
and will there be any compensation for her? VIII

Princes Giovanni Antonio Romano
Maria IL seven years old today. She
was born in Rome In 1907, just two
DAYS after the birthday of her royal
father, the King OF italy. Her ofnoiai
title is the Princess of Snvoie.
Lady Caroline Lamb. a famous
English beauty. who was born on
November Is, 1885,. had such original
manners when she was q child that
her grandmother consulted special
list about her. She had been born OF
English parents in Italy. and when
she went to England to live with her
conservative grandmother she was
little understood.
When she was twenty she married
Lord Melbourne, and few years
later fell under the influence Of the
poet Byron, who was three years her
Junior. She spoke of him in her
diary written at the time az byron,
mad, bad, and dangerous to know"
In the end, however, he probably
found her as dangerous as he had
been, for after they had terminated
their friendship she wrote novel
containing a very unfiattering carica-
ture OF the great poet. When some
friend Of his once asked him how he
felt about it he feiegned indifference

BLAoK11sT1Na NEGRO MELODIES.

"Our sweetest songs are songs OF sadness, says
the poet And there no sweeter songs than the
old negro melodies that popular In the United
States The beauty and pathos Of some OF these meo
dies have made them greatly admired by the eminent
musicians in Europe Surely representative OF the
race should care to see these ever-popuar and world
renowned airs backisted.
But at the request Of a delegation OF blacks and
whites Boston the school committee has done that
thing Some forty melodies, including "old Kentucky
Home" have been withdrawn from the public schools
as rejecting upon the This supersensitveness
might be looked in Boston, but not the utter dis
regard of the high merit of the melodies their unique
quality as folk songs and their universal popularity
In the United States And who can see reflection on
the race IN such melodies as Kentucky Home, "
whose pathos appeals all that is best in the human
heart?

The fate OF Turkey In Europe depends on the out-
come of the present war Now occupying small

many centuries will disappear governing power.
And the Turk was the most formidable power that
aver threatened Europe is interesting at this time

But the Turk today is not the soldier he was when
he scaled the walls of Consantinople and threatened
European civilization. Nations degenerate with time
Greek and Roman manhood decayed and submitted to
the barbarian Turkey has shrunk because the quail
ties that made Turk of the best of soldiers
have been lost There was revival Of the old spirit

Turkey for neghbor the Balkan states may be kept

as inevitable that if the other powers at war come
to terms of agreement they will include the division OF

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Generous Political Opponent

He was triumphant by the small ma
jority Of Sal.
An incident occurred during the
campaign which Illustrated the char
acter Of Mr.. PATTERSON. The charge
was made that, Republican chief as
he was. he had nevertheless loaned
money to Thomas H. Seymour, DEM
ocratic candidate for governor. and
held Mr.. Seymeur's note for the
amount.
The fact was that q year earlier.
when travelling In Europe, Mr.. Bat
terson met Mr.4s6eymour and found
that the great Democrat was In con-
siderable embarrassment. Seymour
was not a provident man In respect
to money. He was both thoughtless
and generous. He told Mr.. Patterson
that he had exhausted his iettar OF
credit, and was good deal put out
and inconvenienced because of his
improvidence. Thereupon, Mr., Bat
terson offered to share his purse with
Mr.. Seymour. The offer was accepts
ed and Mr.. Seymour insisted upon
giving Mr.. PATTERSON an I. o. u. ia
acknowledgment. That was all there
was to the report that the Republic
can campaign manager had lent
money to the Democratic candidate
AS soon as Mr.. Patterson heard
that this campaign story was ahBat,
he went to those who were In au--
thority in the Democratic campaign
and said: "Tom Seymour owes me
nothing. I have no note of his. There
is now none In existence" Then he
took from his pocketbook Mr.. Soy
mour's I. o. u. and tore II up In the
presence of the campaign manager
saying, "If Mr.. Seymour himself
wants to tell the story, he can 40 its
/ won't"
Mr.. Seymour instantly gave out for
publication the real facts upon wnich
the campaign charge was based.

You wouldn't Know Fear But for ausA-
Ing Muscles.
There is a poetic platitude, which,
like all such catch phrases, is rather
more beautiful than true, namely,
that those who escape the sense OF
other peoples Ills are brutes In
human shape. Experimental psy-
chology denies this in toto. As
matter of fact, the most self-eon-
tanned, equable dispositions, the most
intellectual natures are those which
not only refuse to burden themselves
with other peoples troubles, but also
suppress their own,
The fact. that II Is far more easy
not to feel than always to feel right
ly is experimentally justified as well
as confirmed by the experience that
il is safer not to act than always to
act well. The reason that many self
amounted saints and sponsors for
other peoples actions are at times
able ito point with pride" to the fact
that they have escaped many tenpte-
lions is due to the fact that they
have been placed as not to be az
posed to them.
Wisdom of CaImness.
Similarly the men and women who
make few mistakes are those VINO 90
little. Anyone who Is trying to con-
uuer his environment, who batters at
the shutting-in doors Of his sur
loundings, may be excused an occa-
sional scar from the rebound or the
door as he bursts 1t open.
Feeling in the naive man or IN the
untutored savage is the equal or an
others philosophy or religion 1t acts
with as much certainty and ID otten
as near to the truth. Take the words
of the late Prof. James In support Or
this. He asks whether there would
be any feeling of fear left II the feei-
ing of uuickened heart beats, sinking
stomach. shallow breathing. OF trem-
bling limbs, of goose flesh were not
present.
In other words, II you calm your
muscles, your feelings are pacified. IL
your muscles are a-trempie, so SIe
your feelings. With muscles calm
there could be no picture OF a stats

+ions Ia a muscular one. IL your

ings are correspondingly defective.
on the other hand, control OF the
emotions means control Of the
muscles.

Causes Of Compassion.
This imitation is really connected
with the feeling of sympathy. Plus

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

quests; when activity has taken the
place of more or less watchful wait
ing, and when prosperity is not only
in the air, but In the factory and the
market place.
This is the one great nation whose
resources OF wealth creation are vir-
tually unimpaired; the one great ma
ton which Is actually accommodating
wealth. 1t is entering upon the
greatest era of prosperity in it's his

More Than Half the World ct was.
From the Providence Journal.
A striking idea OF the extent of the
present war may be gained from the
statement that more than half tho
inhabitants of the world are engaged
In It, This applies to both land area
and population.
The area Of the British Empire ex-
ceeds thirteen million square miles,
that of France Is over four millions,
and Russia's is in excess OF eight
millions. Belgium, including her
! Congo possessions; Japan, Servia and
Montenegro increase the total terri
| tory of the allies to nearly twenty
seven million square miles. Against
this tremendous area that OF the Ger
manic trio does not bulk very large
! Germany. Austria and Turkey all
told have but little more than two
and a half millions. But the total
area of the combatant nations foots
up 29.566,416 square miles, while the
J grand total OF the land in both
hemispheres is only $500, 900 square

The population Of the allied coun-

Early Human Remains In America

The discrimination OF the age Of the
earliest human remains found on the
American continent 10 Of great In
terest. Until q few years ago North
America was supposed to offer the
most valuable evidence in this regard,
though the Bureau Of American Eth
nology declared in 1907 that mo spsci-
men had come to tight in the northern
continent which from the standpoint
Of physical anthropology represented
other than relatively modern man.
At that time some apparently epoch
from the Lagoa santa Caves Of Brazil,
together with numerous finds Of bones
and cultural objects in Argentina. As
q result the attention of the world waa
attracted to these places and there
was a renewal of the story Of Atlantis,
the origin and descent of the human
race being traced from very primitive
anthropoid forms of South America
More recently interest has reverted to
North America from the discovery OF
human remains in an asphalt deposit
at Rancho La Brea, IN Southern Cali
fornia. A preliminary report on these
was read before the Museum Of His
tory, Science and Art OF Los Angeles,
June II, 1914, by John G. Merriam.
The Bureau of American Ethnology
was SO much interested in the South
American finds that two experts
were sent to conduct an impartial in
vestigation. The conclusion was that
the human remains from the Lagoa
Santa Caves cannot be accepted WI
out further and more conclusive
proofs as belonging to a race which
lived contemporaneously. with the
extinct species of animals found IN
the same caves. A similar unfavor-
able conclusion WAS reaehed regard

from the harbor Of Buenos Ayres.

THREE MINUTE

BY TEMPLE MANNING

Teheran, the wonderfully pictur-
esque capital OF Persia, possesses
many strange sights to amaze our
western eyes and any number Of odd
customs to confuse our occidental no.
tons, but probably the strangest
sight and the oldest custom Of all 10
TO be found among the beggars. They
make mendicancy q profession and
pursue 1t with ell the ardor OF devo-
tees anxious to attain artistic per-
lection.
Unlike the falSirs of India and tho
other countless fanatics who make
begging a religious rite, the mendi-
oants Of Teheran acknowledge no re-
llgion in their begging, but practice
il solely with an eye to business
Every trick they can think OF to
arouse sympathy they indulge IN, even
if they suffer indescribable fortunes IN
doing It, and count themselves we'll

second day of my stay in Teheran |

a. man. and above their heads q rope
running over beam of the gate;

sian lynching party. But l learned
my mistake when drew near enough
to see the tenderness with which the
rough men were handling the huddled
fgure about whose shoulders the rope
was tied. Inquiry revealed that the
poor fellow WAS a victim OF opium

witnessed was the Persian cure for IT,

the passersby had diagnosed his con-
dition as due to an overdose OF
opIllm, the little crowd had agreed
and they set about saving his life.
Tying a rope around his shoulders
they threw the other end over the
gateway beam and lifted him clear
OF the ground. Then they forced him
to drink large draughts OF milk from
a bowl, and then they twisted him
around and around until he spun
in the air and became very, very sick.
Repeating this process again they
woke him at last to his senses, freed
from the poison but very weak.
AT last they unfastened him and
led him back to his nook In the wall,
where he spent his days begging.
Through an interpreter I asked him
why he had taken opium. His reply

The late James q. PATTERSON, OF
Hartford, Conn, who died In 1901, waa
often spoken of by men of important
affairs as citizen of the United
States rather than as q citizen of
Hartford. He was so prominently
Identified with the construction of
many of the public works and build
ings of his time that his name was
as familiar almost to the citizens OF
large communities in the United
States as to those of his home town
OF Hartford. Besides, he was for
years the chief executive Of an In
sunance corporation whose business
covered the United States.
Notwithstanding his many activt-
ties and the time which he devoted
to scholarship. Mr.. Patterson In the
early part of his career took strong
interest in politics. For that reason
he became the executive head of the
Republican party organization in
Connecticut for two or three years
before the beginning Of the Civil War.
Mr.. PATTERSON did not permit his
political views to interfere with his
personal relations. He was one OF the
warmest of the friends of Thomas IL.
Seymour, who, in his day, was the
leading Democrat In the state OF
Connecticut. He had been governor
OF Connecticut and had served as min
lister to Russia His personal charm
was SO convincing that he was said
to have no enemies.
In the campaign OF 1880 It was
deemed essential that Connecticut
whose State election occurred at that
time-shouid give a Republican ma
jority for William A. Buckingham,
who wac the party's candidate FOR
governor. Tho Democracy, in order
to make capital of the great personal
popularity of Thomas H. Seymour,
nominated him for governor. The
contest was a desperate one and the
Republican parry organization was
under the direction OF Mr.. PATTERSON.

age. according to Professor Amsgh-
ino. who wrote about 1t, II was q
remnant from the Lower Piiocene
and was older than the famous Nean-
derthal skull. Careful examination,
however, failed to reveal any cvfr
dence which would Justify its oiaEsz-
ficatien as representative Of 4
species Of ancient primates, premedi-
ate forerunners of tho human being

ton OF the skull Of man himself: It

primitive man, but to a woll- devei-
oped and physically modern-iike IN

The conclusion Of the report 10 that
willis IL is not possible to give a
definite estimate Of the age of the
skeleton found, It belongs to q dis.
tinctiy modern period. 1t does NOS
toricAi period. but cannot be con.
sidered as having antedated It by
many thousands Of years. Merriam
considers IL we'll worth exhaustive
scientinc investigation, and the last
word on the subject cannot be writ
ten until a great deal more study has
been given the objects found. The
associations are with specimens dis
tinctly later in age than the typical
Rancho La Brea fauna. which come
from . very old geologic period. Ac-
oording to DIR. A. L. Kroeger theI
racial characteristics do not differ
decidedly from those of persons whose
remains have been excavated in
mounds on Santa Rosa Island, off the
coast OF Southern California While
the question of antiquity is unde-
cided, every evidence which we have,

Medical Association, would seem to
