FOREIGN MILLS CONDITION
President Macara Says the Outlook is
Bad.

At the conclusion Of the meetings of
the International Cotton Spinners'
committee at Paris recently, President
Sir Charles Macara issued a most pes
simistic report.
He says he thinks the outlook was
never blacker than at this moment.
In England spinners Of fine counts
are not making a profit or holding
their own, but are suffering a depres-
sion as severe as ever known.
In Germany the trade is dull, and
the output Is decreased.
France is little more hopeful be-
cause mills are no longer working at
a loss.
Australia reports from 10 to ID
per cent Of the looms idle. Italy re-
ports from s to 10 per cent Of idle
looms.
Spain and Portugal both report bad
conditions in spinning and weaving
and no early prospect Of change for
the better.
In Belgium the outlook is far from
prosperous. In Russia business has
shown no profit or only a very small
profit and is now a little more hopeful.
In India complaints are made OF
large importations with the result of
greatly accumulated ste cks.
Sir Charles and the committee be-
lieve that the only way Of avoiding
heavy losses to employers and en-
ployed is to organize a very prompt
restriction of production.-London dis

YARN FROM THE FIRING LINE
With Mexican Rebels Lost
Nerve and Mind in Battle.

Is ii possible for man to go into
battle and lose his nerve as well as
his mind for three hours, and then
come out Of it and find that he was
being acclaimed a hero and had killed
dozen men on the firing line?
This question was answered by
George Powers a young Kentuckian,
whom I knew in the Mexican service.
and with whom | went on a battlefield
recently and fought Federals for three
hours.
When we left the field / asked Pow

breast and saw they were empty. Then

post on the firing line.

You have just been under fire for
three hours" told him.
Impossible" he replied. Il don't
remember a thing about it,"
We made an investigation. There
were half a dozen men who said they
saw him in the field and more who
went out on it with him and could tes-
tify that he had been there through
the battles progress.
A little detachment of men was sent
out over the ground under the leader
ship of men who had been at his side
during the fight. They counted his
empty Shells and riding to point op-
posite his post and where the enemy's
firing line had been, they counted the
bodies Of nearly a dozen men.
The dead were piled up in a little
heap. They had been struck as they
fought over little mound above which
they stuck their heads now and then
during the battle to sight our men
prior to firing. Each one of them bore
a ghastly wound from a "dumdum'
fired from a 1910 single-loading
Springfield rifle. Powers's comrades
had repeating rifles of smaller but just
as deadly caliber. And their bullets
had not been dunn -dummed. Fred V.

Birth of a Skyscraper.-If Norman
R. Ream had not at one time been az
hicted with a weak stomach the mod
ern skyscraper might have been an
other generation in arriving.
An eight STORY building was Won
derful structure when Mr.. Ream's ill
health compelled him to go to Denver
for long rest The train on which
he made the journey was crossing the
Kankakee River at Kankakee when
luncheon was announced. 1t stopped
on the steel bridge over midstream.
Mr.. Ream took his seat in the dining
car but was so upset by the sight OF
the water rushing under his window
that his stomach rebelled and he re-
tired to the observation platform at
the rear end of the train. Sitting there
alone he figured it out thus: Here is
this heavy train supported over q
raging river by this structure laid on
it's side Stood on end the structure
would be the safest kind of construc-
ton for a building" The idea was so
refreshing he mulled it over all the
way to Denver and the first thing he
did on arrival there was to write
leading architect of Chicago directing
him to draw plans for such building
and be prepared to discuss them on his
return.

and art are shown.
There are displayed on the walls, on
easels and attached to the railings
dozens of agricultural, industrial,
scenic and city views Of the south, in
Guiding panoramic views Of cities, har-
bors, industrial and mountain scenery.

ADlAI E. STEVENSON
Former Vice President Had an Inter-
estina Political Career.

esting Political Career.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson, once vice
president of the United States, had a
long and honorable public career. He
was vice president from 1898 to 1897
under President Grover Cleveland. In
1900 he again was nominated by the
Democratic party for vice president
party's candidate for president, but
was defeated He served as a men,
ber Of the Forty-fourth and Forty
sixth congresses. From 1885 to 1889,
he served as first assistant postmaster
general under President Cleveland.
His last appearance as a candidate
for public office was in 1908, when he
was nominated for governor Of Illinois
by the Democratic party and was de-
feated by Chas. S. Deneen, Republican.
He was born in Christian county,
Kentucky, October %, 1885, Of Scotch
Irish parentage. In 1853 his parents
moved to Bloomington, Ill. He at
tended the public schools and the Illi-
nois University.
In 1856 he graduated from Canter
college, Danville, KY. There he was a
classmate Of Senator Joe Blackburn
and other Kentucky youths who Later
became prominent in public life. He
signalized the close Of his college ca
reer by marrying a daughter Of DR..
Lewis w. Green, president Of the COL
lege.
After leaving college Stevenson re-
turned to Bloomington, ILL.,, and read
law. He was admitted to the bar in
1858 and began legal practice at Meta
mora, ILL.,, where he remained until
1868. During these ten years he held
the office of master in chancery four
years and district attorney for SINH
lar period.
In 1868 he returned to Bloomington
and formed a law partnership with his
cousin, James S. Ewing and for many
years the firm was one Of the best
known in Illinois legal circles.
Stevensons political career dated
from 1864 when he was a presidential
elector on the Democratic ticket. He
made a canvass of Illinois in behalf OF
the Mcclellan ticket and won a repu-
tation as a political orator.
In 1874 Stevenson was nominated
for congress by the greenback and
anti -monopolist parties in the Etgh-
teenth Illinois district against Gen.
John McNulta, Republican. The DEM
ocrats considered the case hopeless and
did not even hold a convention. The
ensuing campaign was exciting and
Stevenson was elected by a majority
over Gen. McNulta of 1882 votes.
In 1876 he again was elected to con-
gress for the same district on the
greenback ticket, although he was
supported by the Democrats who de-
clined to put up a candidate.
In 1884 Stevenson led the Illinois
delegation to the Democratic national
convention which nominated Grover
Cleveland for president. In 1897 he
was appointed a member Of a commits
sion whicIl visited Europe in an effort
to secure international bimetalism.

THE CORONATION STONE
Historic Reasons for Veneration of the

Relic.
The partial success of the suffra-
gette attempt to blow up England's s
ancient coronation chair in the solemn
precincts Of Westminster Abbey has
been followed by an outbreak of pub
lie indignation similar III it's intensity
to that which would follow an effort to
destroy our own Liberty Bell with an
explosive. Not even the crown jewels
in the Tower are so intimately involv-
ed with the story of English sover-
eighty and the tradition of the divine
right of kings since David Of Israel.
The aged chair of oak contains the
Stone of Scone which Edward |, who
died in 1907, brought from Scotland in
1897, in token of the subjugation II
that country. This stone was the en-
blem of power of the native rulers of
Scotland. Legend has it that il was
used by the patriarch Jacob for pill
low; ii is more than possible that it is
the stone on which the dying head of
the sainted COLUMBIA rested in the Alb
bey of Iona. 1t is a piece OF sandstone
similar to the characteristic formation
of the west coast of Scotland.
From the time of Edward |, every
English monarch has been crowned in
this chair. The state sword and shield
of Edward III (whO died in 1870 re =
main beside it. On Coronation Day the
chair is covered with gold brocade and
placed in the choir.
From the account Of Adam, the
kings goldsmith in 1900, it appears
that the chair originally was to have
been cast in bronze; royal thrift
changed the plan, and the woodwork
cost 100 shillings. Master Walker, the
kings painter, made it instead. Early
in the nineteenth century the "old
crocketS and turrets at the back were
sawn off" and the design of the back
has been so often vanished that only
a part of the sovereign's figure re-
mains. the lion on which his feet rest
ed having disappeared. The lions un-
der the chair itself are modern and
were regilded for the coronation OF
Edward VII On the panels OF the
arms are designs of vines and of birds
amid foliage.
The only occasion on which one not
of royal birth received the insignia of
government seated in the chair was
Cromwelrs installation as Lord Pro-
tector. which took place in Westmins-
ter Hall.

MEDIAEVAL EXECUTIONS
Two Women Beheaded in Germany
for Murder.

In marked contrast to the agitation
in the United States against the capi-
tai punishment Of women criminals
and the tolerant attitude Of the Eng
lish authorities toward the militant
suffragettes, the fact that unsentimen-
tai Germany shows no more consider
alton for the weaker sex than for men
in crime was evidenced today when
two women were beheaded by heads
men with blocks and axes, making
four women to suffer that fate within
a few weeks.
The death sentences were executed
according to the mediaeval method
which Germany, of all civilized ma
tions retains. Magdalena Mendel, Al
years old, was beheaded in Strassburg
prison, with her accomplice, Joseph
Writ, a laborer. The two had poison
ed the womans husband in order to
get him out of the way. Frau Mendel,
terror r-stricken, collapsed utterly as
she started toward the block. She act
ed as one totally paralyzed and it final
" was necessary to place her on
stretcher, carry her to the block and
lay her on it. Writ went TO death
quietly.
At about the same time Frau NJ.
Hass was beheaded in the prison at
Graudenez. She also had poisoned her
husband. No details Of this execution
were given out.
In each instance the kaiser refused
to commute the sentences Of the con-
demned persons or to take into con-
sderation the fact that two Of the
criminals were women.-Berlin Dis
patch to New York Sun.

was a philanthropist, as well as a pork

smoke them in his office, says the
Youths companion. One day, many
years ago, a half-grown youth found
him alone at his desk. and asked for
job as office boy. The packer looked
him over kindly enough but shook his
head.
The lad who was rather efeminate
in appearance, had received several
similar answers during the day and
was somewhat discouraged. So now he
said, with some bitterness:

Aeschyus at Syracuse.-For four
days in April dramas Of the Athenian
tragic poet Aeschylus were performed
in the old Greek theater at Syracuse
in eastern Sicily. Aeschylus has long
been popular in Syracuse. Twenty
three centuries ago Athenian prisoners
taken in the great defeat before that
city and sold as slaves after the GUS
tom of the time, earned their freedom
by recting the verses OF their great
poet. Perhaps some OF the men thus
set at liberty organized company and
acted "Prometheus Bound'-or THE
Persians" in the same theater where
the same plays will be presented next
spring. The poet who is held in favor
for 1900 years in one place cannot
complain of public fckleness.

The Mark Of Culture.

In the land of the Niger, says Mr.
P. Amaury Talbot in the London
Times, little or no stigma attaches tc
jailbirds.
In fact, prison residence is often re-
garded as comforting the mark of cul-
ture and distinction. The last governor
of Southern Nigeria once compliment
ed a chief of the interior on his knowl-
edge of English, to which the man re-
piled with a proud air, "Of course
be fit to talk English mouth! learn
all that when live long time for pris-
on"
Such residence is indeed looked upon
as giving a sort of official status. Al

nave been lighting to claw their way
TO the top. The prize in sight has
kept them keyed up to concert pitch,
and they have steadily moved along.
Now, having grasped the prize tenn
porarily, there is danger of let down
all along the line This is what Stall
ngs must guard against. That task
should not be difficult, as a team
which can make the record just rUng
up by the Braves is capable Of most
anything in baseball.
Another factor is the change in the
feeling of the Giants. McGraw has
been hard put to drive his men. They
were overconfident with the chesti-
ness of three straight pennants, and
thought they could give any Opposi-
ton a fast push in the face at the
right moment.
This fond dream has been rudely
shattered. The Giants are now con-
WINGED that they are not the lords of
the league, just as they were con-
vinced by the Mackmen that they
were not the best in the world.
Also, the Giants are not playing un-
der the strain that naturally falls on
leaders of a close race. They can go
a bit wilder and take more desperate
chances. Now is where McGraw will
exercise all his driving power, and the
lash will fall heavily on any athlete
who falters.
The Giant leader hates to lose, and
today he is probably frothing at the
mouth at the punk work his team has
been turning out.
The race isn't over yet by long
shot, and there is no chance for any
of the first four teams in the league
to let down in their work.
