sCARNATION ftAY'
 OBSERVED BY AMERICANS EVERYyVHERE.

All over the United States. and in afI other parts of the world where the sons of Uncle Sam have wandered, carnations will be worn today as a mark of respect for the memory of William Mckinley. It is the annf- versary of the birthday. of the mar tyr President. whose favorite flower was the carnation- Soon after his tragic death, his admirers banded to- gether and formed the Carnation League. with the object of making it an annual custom to wear a carna- ton on January 2sth. The observance is becoming more universal each year. and the demand for carnations today will doubtless be greater than ever before
 During his presidency MT. Mckinley had a number of fresh carnations sent to him every day from the White House consefvatory, and he always wore one in his button hole. Callers frequently asked for the flowers as souvenirs, and with his customary graeiousness he always eranted the request Many of these blossoms are now tenderely preserved by their re- cipfents The late Presidents love for this flower led those planning the permanent observance of his birthday to believe that no better way could be devised than by forming 3. Carr nation league
 The Carnation League was inspir- ed by the success of the Primrose League. which was founded in Eng land in 1888 in memory of the Earl of Beaconsfeld, and so called because on the anniversary of his death every member wears bunch of prirnroses.
 McKinley Day is most generally ob- served in Canton, O.. long the home of the martyE President, where he sleeps beneath 9 handsome nnonument reared to his, memory and in Niles. o., his birthplace. The house in which he was born was removed from it's .or- Iginal site and permitted to fall into decay, until a public-spirited woman set about the task of it's restoration and preservation.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY < CONVENTION OPENS
 IN NEW YORK TODAY

The Connecticut company is repre- scented at the Nfid-Y ear Meeting Of the American Electric Railway association in New York, opening today, by sew eraI of the officers.
 That electric railway men under stand thoroughly how fnaportant a part the good will of the public plays in the prosperity of their compan- ies, is indicated by the nature of the program arranged for this meet ing The speakers at the annual ban quet have as their text public IreIa- tfons and one Of the principal ad- dresses at the working session will be by the Hon. sHa1ford Erickson, one of the Wisconsin Railroad Conmis- sioners.
 improving railway practice and ser vice and it's committees hay had a
 major part in promoting the reTnarka- b1e growth of the industry in this country. When it is considered that it is not yet 30 years since the first cleo trio car was run and that nearly 400, : 0o0, GOO passengers are now transport ed each day on the electric railways of the country, it is not hard to re- alize that some exceptional talent and much work has been applied to the solutions of the problems that cleo tric transportation has given rise to-. playing in the working out of these questions is shown by the fact that no less than 35 committees, dealing with all variety of questions, from federal relations to the proper com position of steel car wheels, will hold sessions during the meeting, which continues to the end Of the week.

PAINE'S BIRTHDAY.

Members Of the Thomas Paine Me- rnorial Association will today ce1e- brate the birthday of the literary pa triot by making their annual pilgrim |age to New Rochel1es N. T.. where Paine spent the last years Of his life and where a monument has been erected to his memory. Not long ago the name of the Thomas Paine house was changed to .De Veaux House. . by the Huguenot Asso ociation. owners of the property and this has led to indignant protests from the Daugi1- ters of the American Revolution, the Paine Memorial Association, and otIl- CT bodies. In the revolution De Veaux supported England. and his property was confiscated and given to Paine in recognition of his services to the Republican cause. Paine was the first to give the name of United States of America to the struggling colonies, and by many historians he is believed to have been the author of the Declaration of Independe

DUKE OF THE ABRUZZI, 1 l41 TODAY, EXPERT
 AT TANGO.

Prince Luigi Amedeo Giuseppe Ma ria F'erdinando Francesca, Duke of the Abruzzi, commander of the Italian Navy and once spoken of--to the ex- tent of several columns a day for sew eral years-as the suitor of Miss Katherine Eilxins. will celebrate his forty-hrst birthday to-day. The re- cent marriage of Miss Elkins. with whom the Duke was supposed to be passfonately in.1ove, has not left him as disconsolate as might have been ex- pected, for. during the present social season the Duke has been among the gayest of the gay. He has won the title of ''tI1e best tango dancer m Italy, and has instructed hundreds of fair pupils in the tango art The Dukes devotion to that form of terp- sichorean expression has led to the accusation that he has sscorrupted Italian society, :, Members of staid l old Italian families have appealed to the King andzQueen, it is alleged, ask ing them to, put a stop to their kins- mans exploitation of the Argentine dance. f S The recent appointment Of the
  in chief ahoat of ItaIy's navy met with great favor. His many brave exploits as a naval ofhcer and explorer have endeared him to his countrymen, who point with pride to the fact that the Duke was in command of the torpedo squadron that struck the first blow in the Italo-Turkish war, when the Tur- kish gunboats were torpedoed in Du- razzo harbor. This attack almost led ito internationa1 complications between Italy and Austria, and the govern ment of the latter country immediate ly issued a warning against carrying the war into European Turkish terri tory. The Duke was recalled and for g time shut up at Taranto, a vic- tim of diplomacy, until popular indig-l ter command.
 It is declared that the Duke releas- ed Miss EIkins from her engagement only few months before the heiress became Mrs Hitt. The Duke expect ed to be chosen King of Albania, in which event he would have been free to wed the American girl. The rival ry between Italy and Austria. 1t is aI-l sleged, formed a secret agreement that neither an Austrian nor Italian prince. be placed on the Albanian throne. Other r'tauthorfties'' assert that no engagement ever existed between the Duke and Miss Elkins, and that their relations were only those of :. mutual sympathy and admiration.' ''
 The Duke has had distinguished career as an explorer. In I 900 he headed an expedition to the North Pole that penetrated nearer to the goal than had been done at that time. He has ascended Mount St. Elias in Alaska and manys other mountains. and has written several hooks descrip- tive Of his expeditions

The rules governing the sis ters, as formulated by St Francis at Annecy in 1870, were mild but minute in detail The order was sane tioned by the pope in 1627s and has spread into al1 European countries and to the United States.
