gentleman of ancient family. Hav- ing resolved in his own mind a pro- ject for destroying at one blow the king, lords and commons. Catesby communicated 1t to Thomas Winter, a gentleman of Worcestershire, who at first expressed great horror, but was afterward induced to cooperate in the plot. Winter it was who secured the assistance of Hawkes., a gentleman of good family but actuated by spirit of ferocious fanaticism.
 Other confederates were gradually added, and in a secluded house in Lambeth oaths of secrecy were taken. Thomas Percy, distant relative of the earl of Northumberland, agreed to hire a house adjoining the building where the parliament met and 1t was resolved to undermine and blow up the legislature by carrying a mine through the wall.
 Preparations for this dastardIy plot were completed about the month of May. 1905, and the time fixed for carrying out the conspiracy was set for Oct. 3. the day upon which the leSislators should meet. Parliament, however, was not opened until two days later.

Sir Thomas Kenevett, Westminster magistrate with several attendants, visited the cellar, seized Fawkes at the door and carried him off to White hall, where in the royal bedchamber he was interrogated by the. king and council, and thence was conveyed to the tower.
 Upon hearing of Hawkes. arrest the remaining conspirators, with the ex- ception of Tresham, fled to London to the place of rendezvous in Warwick shire. They were overtaken there at the mansion of Holbeach where Catesby and three others, refusing to surrender, were slain. The remaind- CT. taken prisoners in different places were carried to London, tried and con- demned with their associate Guy Hawkes..
 When Hawkes. was placed on trial and was asked by the king if he was not sorroy for his attack on the roy al family re replied that "a desperate deed requires a desperate remedy" He said he was sorry for nothing but that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Breaking straws on the Cancels Back.


 MT. Editor: When a writer uses Twenty-Five or more quotations in half column letter in your paper, per haps he might be excused for getting balIed-up on one of them. Yet when the principal part of ones document is to be made up of quotations, the com piler is behooved to be particular in verifying them. This, as well to dis play his erudition as to adorn his doc ument He should also be aware that this causes no small strain on the printers case-the manipulation of an hundred marks necessary to designate the straws, besides the ex- tra strain on the cameTs back.
 Really, Nr Editor, we are forced to admit, notwithstanding the super f1uity of quotations. that we are un- able to catch the point or determine the drift of the gentleman's utter ances.
 In some sentences they seem to be a take-off on the progressives, and they seem to veer, as if to run down Votes for Women. After all is said and done, is it not much as is pictured by the gentleman himself.

TOLLS RESPIRATION.

The strong address which was made by Senator Mclean upon the cana, tolls question and which has brought forth the statements that 1t was one of the greatest speeches which has been made upon the subject, showing the deep and characteristic thought of the senator and the study which nc had given to 1t. has awakened new interest in the merits of arbitration.
 The lt,ore thought which Is given to the tolls question the greater is the demand for the proper settlement. There has been an extensive change in feeling upon the subject since tolls exemption for coasting trade vessels was passed because of a realization that the burden of dealing fairly with other nations in this matter because of
 treaty conditions rests upon thin country. All semblance of gaining any undue advantages because we happen to hold the upper hand de- serves to be put aside if the honor Of the nation is to retain its high place fn the estimation of. other nations. The interpretation upon which the un-. derstanding of the treaty hinges can be definitely settled by arbitration, and in referring it thereto there is no appearance of knuckling to any other nations and even though the de- cfsion should be against us 1t would be nothing different than is contem- plated by the repeal of the exemption clause now before congress.
 Arbitration would simply call for delay in the operation of exemption until the matter Is decided and 1t would overcome any possibility of our dtscarding any rights which belong to us. Ii is a late move and must be an uphill fight to win, but it has good rather than detrimental features. The difficulty will be in making the senate sec iE

THEN-and-NO

The first woman to become a reg ularly ordained minister was born s9 years ago yesterday. She was Antoinette Louise Brown. later Mrs. Samuel c. Blackwell, the daughter of a farmer, of Henrietta, N. Y. When she came to consider a col- ege education in 1843 the college Institute, now Oberlin College, was the only institution of it skind in America where women could pur- sue a collegiate education She was graduated in the literary course and in the theological school, but although she established later reputation as a brilliant speaker, she was refused a license as preacher. She turned to featuring upon women's rights, and was leading member of the first Wo- mems Rights Convention that met Tn Worcester Mass, in 1850. Three years later the bar against her en- try to the ministry was lowered and she was ordained as pastor of the Congregational church at South Butler, N. Y, Later she joined the Unitarian ministry, always contin- uing her agitation for woman suf- frage.

Today more than 2,5o0 women are preaching as regularly ordained ministers in the United States More than 1000 others are regularly certified physicians and surgeons. Probably 2,00o more are registered as members of the legal profession. and thousands are scattered among various professions and industries which half a century ago were con- Bfdered solely fields for masculine endeavor. Many cities today have women as mayors and heads of civic deaptrments. State and city school boards are headed by women There are a score of women who have the right to practice law be- fore the United States Supreme Court. Many colleges have adopt ed co-education, while there are more than thirty colleges devoted exclusively to the feminine sex. In the universities colleges and technical schools in the United States during the last year there were over 5000 women professors and instructors and moro than 10000 women students.

 His actions failed to elicit the slight est sympathy which might otherwise have been felt for him, for undoubted- ly Fawkes was working as a tool for a number of other men very much higher up. The attempt to make the gunpowder plot religious rather than a political conspiracy for the most part failed.

WhssIbarroNs d shantuna.

The wheelbarrow is the most COM
mon medium of transportation in
Shantung. The load is balanced about
the wheel so that the workman does
not have to carry portion Of the load
as is the case with the American
wheelbarrow. Some wheelbarrows
have but one push man, some have a
pulling man as WE'LL some have one,
two and three donkeys to aid in the
pulling and some are equipped with
a sail to obtain the help of favorable
winds. The equipment depends upon
the load carried, the maximum load
being about ton. Transportation by
wheelbarrow is from FIVE to eight
times as expensive as transportation
by rail in this province. Thus the ma
tive methods of land transportation,
even with labor receiving wage of
less than 10 cents gold day, are cost
ly, disproportionately 80 as compared
with the prices Of other commodities.
Yet Shantung has tens Of thousands
Of wheelbarrows engaged In traffic. 1t
is easy to appreciate what railroads
will mean to the development Of this
densely populated province.

Thaokeray In Baltimore.

The first and only time I saw him
(Thackeray) was In Baltimore when
was seventeen years old.
He and John p. Kennedy, a friend
Of my father, strolled one Saturday
afternoon into the Mercantile library,
where we boys were reading.
Look? came from a tangle Of legs
and arms punched up in an adjoining
easy chair. That's the Mr.. Thackeray
who is lecturing here"
My glance followed a directing fin
ger and rested on a tall, rather un-
graceful figure, topped by a massive
head framed about by a fringe of
whitish hair, short. fuzzy whiskers,
Grumpy collar and black stock. Out
Of pink face peered two sharp, in
|quiring eyes, these framed again by
the dark rims Of a pair of heavy spec
tacles, which, from my point of sight,
became two distinct dots in the round
OF the same pink face. The portrait
OF Horace Greeley widely published
during his presidential campaign-the
one all throat whiskers and specta-
cles-has always recalled to my mind
this fash glimpse of the great author,
whom / afterward learned to revere

When Broadway Sleeps.

From 0 to 10 o'clock each night is
Broadway's siesta hour. That is when
Broadway is most deserted. Theater
goers are all in their seats, cafes are
nearly or quite deserted and taxicabs
are idle. Chauffeurs spend the time
tinkering with their machines or loll-
ing on the front seats, cigarettes DULY
glowing between their lips. Barten-
ders idly spend the sixty minutes pol
ishing up the glasses, brushing off the
top of the mahogany and swapping
yarns. Theater ushers make the back
row seats look as though the S. II. o.
sign was out in front. Cabaret per-
formers rest tired voices. Policemen,
ticket spectators, hotel page boys,
switchboard girls, all rest The night
Is half done, but the real work has
not yet begun. From 10 o'clock on
the scene rapidly shifts. First come
the visitors who like to watch the
crowds, then the theaters add their
hundreds and thousands, and soon the
greatest street In all the world shakes
of its lethargy and pop! Broadway's

per's end one of the two girls at this

China produces quantities of the glu-
tinous thread generally known as silk
fishing line or silkworm gut. The so
called silk fish line or sllkworm gut is
usually prepared from silkworms in
the caterpillar state. When the worms
are about to spin their cocoons they
are killed by lightly pulling them so
as to break their skins, after which
they are immersed in vinegar for a
considerable period. Then they are
pulled apart in a way to draw out a
long, glutinous thread formed by the
silky secretion of the worm. This
thread is then stretched on board or
otherwise and dried in the sun. In
the West river district about Wuchau,
whence most Of the Hongkong exports
come, the silkworm is usually spe-
cial wild green variety about three
inches long and is fed on leaves OF the
camphor tree. The threads vary In
length from three to six feet.

6urmans and Tigers.

the bravery Of the Burman:

younger and was trotting of with her
The elder sister, girl of about twelve
took Off her tamein skirt and tapped
the tiger about the face till the aston.

The truth of this story is proved by
the fact that the government gave the
girl silk tamein in recognition of her
courage and presence Of mind. Anoth-
er time, quite recently, woodman
was seized by tiger. He cut at him
with his da Cknife) till the tiger drop
