the words Of Miss Gordan "Women of

public sentiment that America shall
more definitely help answer Armenia's
cry"

| Of course one of the most important
events in the worlds convention
was the election of officers. The United

probably others were instructed, so

diversity of nominations. Miss Anna

Christian women so concerned for the
uplift and moral advancement of their
beloved fatherland, our recent enc

wonderful demonstration of the
strength Of the white ribbon bond
that even a worlds war could not
break the tie that bound our peace

from South America. The work in
South America was made possible by
gifts from our jubilee fund.

gigantic undertaking, but pointed out
the successes, tina, difficulties were

The morning meeting Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday were all held in
the ballroom Of the Bellevue STRAIT
ford and at these morning gatherings
the regular routine business of the
convention was transacted. Twenty
eight nations answered to the roll call
and nearly 500 voting delegates were
registered. 1t was estimated that at
last 5000 visiting white ribboners
were in Philadelphia for the convon-
tion:. Some idea of the large number
can be formed when you know that at
every meeting in the Academy, Of Mu-
sic the place was filled to the topmost
gallery and hundreds could not get in,
SO overflow meetings were held every
afternoon and night at the Chamber
Wylie Presbyterian church. At this
church were the exhibits, the litera-
ture. ETC., and it was at this church
the national convention was to be
held, but it was not-but that is an
other story! Naturally the United
States had the largest delegation and
Canada also was splendidly represent

Japan five, India, two, Ceylon one and
Burma one, England and Wales, Scot

probably the most original and most

she has been connected with it from
its earliest history and to it she is
devoting all of her brilliant intellect,

CAVE USED AS sANITARIUM
Physician at One Time Placed Suffer
ers From tuberculosis in "a.
nous Underground Cavern.

The Mammoth cave OF Kentucky Is
no doubt one of the most wonderful
places In the United States. 1t has
been known and visited for years in a
superficial manner, but, strange to say
the cave has never yet been fully ex.
plored. This fact may give little
idea Of the vast proportions.
When Daniel Webster visited it
he was inspired to oratory; when Jen,
ny Lind, the Swedish nightingale, Wis
tied there, she climbed up unto a nat.
ural rostrum in a rock-walled auditor
ium and instinctively burst into song.
RELICS of the aboriginal inhabitants
are still to be seen in the caves, and
there are crudely followed logs still
lying around from the saltpeter
springs to watts, where the mineral de-
post was collected and used in the
manufacture of gunpowder required in
the war of that year.
Further back in the depths of the
cave are stone huts which were in
habited for a considerable time by tu-
bercular patients. These sufferers
were placed there by eminent ply
sicians who were DESTROYS of testing
the value of the uniform temperature
of the cave upon the dread white
plague Some of these patients lived
six months without seeing the light Of
day.
These caves are little off the beat
en- track of tourist travel and, while
exceedingly interesting, are not SO we'll
known as many inferior examples Of
the stupendous handiwork of the Gre
ator.

Tne weeds of Memory.

To live long, to look young, to be
happy-all this may be summed up in
one word, says famous Frenchwom-
an-"Forget If we could make this
a rigid rule-and keep tive should
most certainly be better and stronger,
physically, mentally and morally. In
stead of wasting our vitality on the
irrevocable past, we should garner up
our energies for the present and fu.
ture, which may hold so much that
may demand our uttermost, both of
brain and body.
Forget all the pinpricks of yester.
day and the day before; they made
life seem a blank at the time, all, all
those tlresome worries that cumber
every ones existence, and though diff.
ferent in detail are alike in their power
to annoy.

Composed for Washington.

Hail Columbia has the honor of
having been composed for President
Washington The father Of his coun-
+-y was fond of the play and some
times attended a little rickety theater,
one of the best available, which had
the enormous capacity of 300 persons
A piece called 'The Presidents

Of the orchestra for one of those oc-
casions and it was played on the en-
trance of the President and his friends.
1t was afterward slightly altered and
given the name of Hail Columbia. -
On that same night there were lines
in the play that referred to Americas
chief which made the subject of them
somewhat restless, for he was modest

EXCITED WRATH OF DICKENS
Public Hangings, Which Were
Disgrace to English Law.

Charles Dickens, at the time Of the
the murder Of Patrick O'Connor, was
at his fullest power as a writer In
letter to the London Times he wrote:
Il believe that a sight SO incOnceiv-
ably awful as the wickedness and levi
ty Of the immense crowd collected at
the execution this morning could be
imagined by no man, and presented by
no heather land under the sun. The
horrors of the gibbet and the crime
which brought the wretched murderers
to it faded in my mind before the
atrociOus bearing, looks and language
Of the assembled spectators. When
came upon the scene at midnight the
ShrillneSS of the cries and bowls that
were raised from time to time, denot-
ing that they came from a concourse
Of boys and girls already assembled in
the best places, made my blood run
cold. When the two miserable crea-
lures who attracted all this CHASTITY
sight about them were turned CULVER
ing into the air, there was no more
emotion, no more pity, no more thought
that two immortal souls had gone to
judgment, no more restraint in any Of
the previous obscenities. than if the
name of Christ had never been heard
in this world, and there were no belief
among men but that they perish like
the beasts"

Copper a Water Purifier.

The use of copper sulphate for the
disinfection of reservoirs and the de-
struction of algae and noXious germs
in water has led to much discussion
Of the old idea that copper is danger
Gus to health, comments the Washing
ton Star An official of the Depart
ment of Agriculture maintains that a
change has come over scientific Opin-
ion on this subject. Strange as it may
seem, he says, there is not an authen-
tic case Of copper poisoning on record,
either in this country or abroad, and
he adds that toXicolog1sts and physi-
ologists who have sufficiently studied
the subject agree that copper, in the
amount used for publication Of water,
is harmless. On account of the many
defects in the practical use of filtra-
ton plants he regards pal1fcation of
water supplies by copper as a prefer
able method, or at least, as a safe
auxiliary.

Lao-tsze Wrote Gospel of Taoism.

LaO-tsze wrote the gospel of Taoism,
from whose pages an immense re-
ligion grew up. Having been librarian
of a Chinese king, and having much
time for meditation, he came after
many years to the conclusion that hui
mility was the supreme virtue. He
resigned, and desired to hide in Sc
clusion. While passing through the
gate of the palace on his way to soil
tude the warder besought him: you
are about to withdraw yourself from
the world. ! pray you write me a
book before you CO."
Lao-tsze thereupon sat down and
wrote a book about half the size of
st. Marks gospel. He gave this to
the warder, passed through the gate
and no man knows where he died.
The little book is the gospel of Tao
ism. The word Tao means way
man of destiny. The advice was that
men should become like little chill
dren and act without reflection.

CHINESE MINISTER AS CUPID
testing Remark Made by WI Ting

Loving Hearts.

WI Ting Fang was, while minister
at washington, attending the wedding
OF the daughter OF the chief justice
at that time. At the breakfast he
asked one of the bridesmaids when it
would be her turn to become a bride.
She modestly said that she did not
know, as she had not yet had an of
FER. Turning to group of young men,
Doctor WI jocularly remarked to one
or them, "This is a beautiful lady,
wolld you not like to marry her?''
He replied, 81 should be most delight
ed to-" "Will you accept his offer?"
SAID Doctor WI to the bridesmaid.
She seemed slightly embarrassed and
said something to the effect that as
she did not know the gentleman she
could not give a definite answer:
Meeting the Chinese minister at an
at home" few days later she scold-
ed him for his >bluntness, and he eX-
cused himself by saying that he was
actuated by the best of motives.
A few months afterward WI re-
ceived an invitation from the young
lady's parents to attend her marriage.
The bridegroom was the young man
who had figured in the unconventional
incident To Wu's agreeable surprise
the mother of the bride informed him
that it was he who had first brought
the young couple together, and both
bride and bridegroom heartily thanked
him for his good offices.
