then No nos- trums that have ever been compounded ae one of the cures that have sprung up in the peat ftjw years can com- pare with the long sea Voyage that carries one to the Land of turn and the in- souciant existence of a few weeks there as a cure for the wodd weariness that settles down upon one after a strenuous aecson That this fact is fully appreciated by Americans is shajm by the swarms that infest that earthly paradise in the spring and their visits have greatly in- creased Italys exchequer and localities that were once povertystricken have flourishing centers through the lav- ishness and generosity of Uncle Sams traveling children Years ago when It wits an event to go abroad once in a lifetime and those who were so fortunate as to go twice or three times were pointed oat as curiosities much was written regarding preparations for the voyage and conduct while travel lag such advice would seem to be un- necessary now that overy other person one meets has crossed at least once and many a dozen times while a certain few go over every summer but the changes that are constantly taking place the new inventions the varying point of view the fasfejjoB In traveling fW there

as ever The European traveler from this side makes the mistake generally of taking much steamer luggage All that is needed for either the northern 0r south em route can be packed in a grip and a Bfajner trunk any more baggage than tils ia a stateroom Is very much in In the last few years it has become tie fashion on some of the transAtlantic lies fur the men to wear evening clothes NT dinner and for women to appear i the conventional gaxb that society at demands often in low neck and aned arms No matter how popular this tustom may be nothing can excuse it for It is both uncomfortable and impracti- cable To begin with to make an elabo toilet on a rolling ship in the limited onflnes of a stateroom is difficult then 10 matter how tight the ship the con- stant opening of the doors that lead to he decks make unavoidable draughts and urs must be worn to Insure any degree comfort After dinner It is the invariable custom to go up on deck said to sit there in a de- collete gown and than slippers is inviting illness Besides to ap pear in her ban gown on a steamer looks as tUSfjfh a woman so garbed had no other place to exhibit them or that she IB a thoroughly toexperteoeed traveler All that a woman really needs for ten days on a steamer is abundance of lingerie since it is impossible to have any washing done m transit a warm and at- tractive bath robe a smart tailor made traveling dress two extra skirts one ef woolen aad one of silk with which fancy watts can be worn a half dosen linen safet waists two of light flannel or silk and one or two lace or silk waists for evening wear A man should never be without his evening clothes and though it is not good taste to dress In them for dinner on n steamer he must do so for the dinner aad there are often other funottono given during the voyage where the men are expected to niPpier m full regalia The impetus traveling has taken in the last quarter of a century makes the orld seem a much smaller place than it did formerly One never takes an ocean steamer without finding if he does not run across personal friends some one who is toe friend of some friend and so an endless chain of acquaintances extends around the globe The stiffnecked regards it as questionable form to make steamer friends and yet to the cosmopolitan this is one of the most agreeable experiences in life Many last friendships have be formed pa the decks o the tranaAtfliuitic and trans- pacific liners to say nothing ef the mar- riages that have resulted from the flirta- tion tbt were begun on the bonny blue deep No one gets half as much pleasure out of traveling who insists upon wrapping himself in a cloak of unap proachable reserve for it is not only scenery architecture and art that the globe trotter should but a more in- timate knowledge of his fellowmen as they exist in different countries and under different conditions from his own The moat intelligent man Js the man who best understands human nature there is no study in a college curriculum so much worth while and ao fascinating so then do not discourage advances that may be made to you aboard ship for although there may be blacklegs eon ndetiee men and professional gamblers among the passengers they form a small minority and th ry even they are to the student of human nature well worth knowing Traveling In Europe is much facilitated by a knowledge of French and German- It is of course an easy matter to get along without speaking any tongue but English but one is able to travel cheaper and to secure better service if he mas- ter of the language of the country in which he te traveling Indeed there is quite a different price for those the language and those who dont a tact confessed to The Arbiter by the proprietor of hotel in the Tyrol who could or would

the South of France where no matter how hard their condition how ground down by poverty they are the peasantry seem to take life as a huge jokeS and ever gay and merry in the midst of the most disheart ening surroundings A fact that should always be kept in mind is that you we traveling for ptrsonal benefit and and not as a missionary so put all thought of reform avray and gratefully accept

sueh untidiness was a terrible strain on her nerves Indeed it proved so Annoy- ing the untidiness of Rome that she cut short tier visit by waelts say- ing that she purposed coming back when they had

takes possession- of them America Is of course the greatest country on Dearth that we will all admit but therE Is no need to give this socret away for it will surely bo discovered sooner or later by those so unfortunate as to bo born outside her boundaries It is perhaps needless to point out the bad taste of comparing for- eign customs with ones own If the traveler is on the lookout for exactly what he can get at home it would be wiser and more economical to remain there anti yet the Arbiter has met travel- ing Americans in Europe who grumble at everything the railway service the postal service the food theaters whatnot they are so different As to sight seeing every one must fol low his own bent It is the habit with some to rush through a town guide book in hand seeing everything in a few hours and knowing as little about what he has seen when he is through ac he did when he began Such people return home little benefited by their travels The best plan if one really wants to gain experience and culture is to settle down in some large eitx and make excursions from there to the neighboring places of Interest One could pass a year In London and yet not she a several bit- S be-

ask information regard- Ing the eligibility for the Society of Colonial Dames but from tbe tenor of your letter The Arbiter assumes that it to the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution with which you wish to connect yourself The only re- quirement for membership to this so- ciety is that you must prove your descent from some ancestor either on the spear or distaff side who fought in the Revo- lutionary war The War Department always most amiable in giving informa- tion on the lines you seek The office of the adjutant general is the proper place to apply You could doubtless find in the Library of Congress a history of the township in which your family lived that would furnish you with the desired in- formation The secretary of the Daugh- ters of tbe American Revolution whose office is n the Washington Loan and Trust Building will furnish you with an application blank for membership should you desire It For membership in the Society of Colonial Dames it is necessary to

would be bad taste to ask a young lady to go with you alone in a carriage to the theater or any else nor would it be good form to ask her to take a teteatete supper with you As to the flowers If your Dulcinea insists upon this tribute there are just as good fish in the sea as have ever been caught and I would were I in your shoes seek out another Dul cinea lese exigent and more considerate But whatever happens stay in your own class there would be neither peace nor comfort for you outside of It X Q tionU it good fona to wear a fro eat to a awatkur rifbt Mover at 8 oclock ZBB Answer It is

thoroughly a lifetime would not suffice This story Is told of Pope Leo XIII who when giving an audience to a party of Americans asked one of his visitors how long he had been In the Eternal City Three weeks was the response Oh then said his holi- ness with gentle Irony you know all there Is to know about Rome Turning to another one of the party he said And how long have you been in Rome Six months was the reply So you have begun to see a little and you how long have you boen In our city asked the Pope of the third Four years answered the person interrogated anti I know nothing about Rome Sometimes I think I never shall But you al- ready know much remonstrated the holy father In that you have learned how little you do know arid how much how very much there Is to know for Rome Is truly a lifetime study It is well for all travelers who go abroad for something beside more reeve atkm to take a course of reading pre- paratory to their voyage and to lay In a store of suitable books for

is of no value dress of no use Beauty is of value her whole prospects and happi- ness in life may often depend ui on a new gown or becoming bonnet and if she has live grains of common sense find tills

confined to any particular section of the country They flourish In New England anti the Middle Atlantic States as they do in the Western and Pa- cific States They were early known In the South and were welcomed in the North But I may be pardoned in stating that It Is believed by many that they have reached their highest efficiency in the States of Illinois Indiana and Ohio which be characterIzed as The Big Three Thp total interurban railway mileage in this trio of States MOO miles representing an Invest- ment of many millions of dollars As an indication of the possibilities of through travel It may be mentioned that upon the completion of a gap of fifty miles one may journoy m interurban cars from East St Loqis to Chicago and upon the build- Ing of a short connecting link between Danville III and Crawfordsvllle Iml it will be possible to go from St Louis to Buffalo by electric traction At the interests which I represent own a through line In full operation between Paris III and Zsnosvllle Ohio a distance of over 300 miles and will in the near future Install a through service between Indianapolis and Toledo ss well as Cincinnati and Toledo thence to Cleveland

Building erected three years ago at a cost exceeding JltO6tO with Its spa- cious and handsome terminal station conceded to ba the tiniest in the world Nine tracks enter this staUpn accommodating twelve interurhan lines and divisions which run in all directions Four hundred cars on an ertrage arrive and depart daily which on a steam would equal lit trains of four can each In IMS more tttan passen- gers were carried to and from this ter- minal station and it is estimated that in MOT the number will reach 00960 These figures do not include passengers carried between points outside of the city limits The benefits resulting to the people of pres- ent elect 1lnu toO inky approxi- mates be- tween ad- joining rail- road ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Indiana with its LfiW mtlas of interurban roads controlled by vartoug companies are duplicated in every other State of the Union enjoying a like means of trans- portation Employment has been crested for thousands Social conditions have wonderfully improved Crowded cities thriving towns and villages hamlets and rural districts are all happily united aad share allies the advantages of interurban lines There is an awakening and thrill of life never felt before in every town and village through which an interurban line runs Commercial opportunities which lay dormant are made possible and profitable realities New markets are opened The reciprocal relations which develop between city and town and between the village and farm are beneficial to all The dweller in the small town while escaping the expense of liv- ing In a big city may still enjoy all its advantages He receives by means of the interurban cars his morning paper every- day before breakfast and his afternoon paper before his evening meal and is in touch with the news of the world The weekly newspaper is getting to be thing of the past His sons and daughters may attend the institutions of higher educa- tion in the city and return to the parental fireside every evening The theaters and grand concerts are likewise available No longer is the narrow view entertained that interurban roads benefit the large cities at the expense of the towns CRAZE FOR DECORATIONS Xnvnl Officer Repreccte tine Rage Prevalent 1 This Country Prom of Rear Admiral Chadwfck to the May I say a few words in general upon the present rage in our country titles and decorations so much to be deprecated Congress unfortunately yielded to this some years ago and passed a law enabling officers ef the army and navy to wear with uniform the decorations- of Ute patriotic societies to which they belong An officer can if he should ao wish thus appear at a foreign court in decorations all of which he has voted himself almost as numerous as those of the German Emporer I have seen a colonel of the civil war appear at the English court with five decorations of this character Three were corps badges and two were badges of marks- manship It was somewhat embarrass- ing to be aXed frequently by foreigners who knew that at the time our govern- ment granted no decorations what these were I hold that no officer should wear abroad any badge or decoration which has not been given him by the govern ment itself I am pleased to say that- I not known an instance of a naval doing otherwise So much has this passion raged in Washington that gen- erals of sorts heretofore unknown have cropped up in all directions and society certainly not the officials themselves chooses to apply it to every one in whose title the word appears I have seen in the newspapers that the usage common among subordinates of addressing the Postmaster General or any of the As- sistant Postmasters General as general has been forbidden by the former It is the first step which I have seen taken in correcting a ridiculous absurdity which our people should not be guilty of It is not so serious in practice as it is in the indication of a failure to recognize the dignity of a system which in theory has systematically set its face against the use of any title which Is not necessary for public purposes Let us have a dignity ot practice which shall corres- pond the theory TEMERAIREF- rem the white nfl

First Used for Fuel 1rwn the Scientist Amertcsn Appropriate celebration of eenten anthracite coal Is being considered by the citizens of the town of Plymouth Pa la TS7 the first shipment of the black stone was by boat down the Susqwahttana River from Pijrmouth to Columbia Pa This date marks the be- ginning of the UM of anthracite which according to records of the United States Geological Survey was discovered about 1760 but was burned only by the UK of blowers antI forced draft before UK It was the discovery that anthracite must bo reed from every Impurity anti crushed to a uniform size before it could be successfully burned which started the great Industry that this year will proba- bly have an output of 70000100 tons People had become accustomed to burn lug soft coal which so much gas that lumps of any size could be readily ignited and burned without diffi- culty Few would have predicted that unlike soft coal which is sent to market as it comes from the mine hard coal would require preparation for market al most as complicated as the manufacture of flour from wheat The actual mining of anthracite is only the beginning of a series of processes which produce the accurately sized pure coal which is so satisfactorily burned la millions of homes and in heating plants of large buildings which must have smokeless chimneys As it comes from the mines anthracite varies in size from lumps as large M a watermelon to those as small as a walnut The large lumps sire individually examined on benches by men who are expert jn detecting layers of black slate or other impurities which look much like coal and which are unavoida- bly mined with it With small axes the lumps lire cracked and every vestige of un material is removed before the coal is passed on to be crushed and sorted by passing over moving screens into the numerous sizes ready for loading on the earL Lumps too small to be separately in- spected on the start are crushed first and screened into uniform sice after which boys pick out all the impurities as the coal passes slowly in thin layers down long chutes In some localities considera- ble dirt adheres to the coal and in addl tics to the chsshing and sizing it is nec- essary to subject it to several washings during preparation so that it will be clean and bright and all impurities can be readily seen and removed QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION the made

has from time to time shown itself hi a decided an- tagonism to the appearance of certain of foreigners in the States south of the Potomac and east ef the IVIissi- ssippt The South European has usually been objected to as not furnishing a desirable addition to tbe population These people have been given to under- stand repeatedly though nut ottfcialiy that they were simply not expected- In contrast wkh this attitude is that ef Massachusetts which accepts what comes her way employs it In her Industries and then makes systematic inquiry into the sise of the problem which confronts her Tbe Southern attitude is one of The Massachusetts method te which business sense and scientific in unite to get tbe best out of the nation No depreciation is Involved in referring to the Southern attitude as sentimental The South has its institutions its tradi- tions and its ambitions which it is duty bound to preserve and protect from any thing less desirable Oa the other hand Massachusetts has her pride of elitism shiP but she has also her industries and her commerce for which skilled and un- skilled labor is needed In hundreds of thousands If Northern Europe does not furnish what is needed then the South European is welcome to meet the demands as the next best solution of the labor problem Massachusetts meets this problem in systematic way which may be com- mended for general adoption The Bureau of Statistics of Labor expresses the cue thus That which we have therefore suspected but perBaps too vaguely for souse years we can no longer avoid ac- cepting as a fact namely that our prob- lem of assimilation In the years immedi- ately ahead must have to do less and less with Celtic and more and more with Slavic and Ibertc infusions Each of these latter infusions has increased nearly 1 per cent amce 1886 against 317 per rent of Teutonic and 364 of Celtic The important thing is to know the facts ID exact numbers and then to begin to make the best possible citizen out of the

ground that such a thing to not in accordance with the spirit of our age Unlike his father the late Oscar II Gus tan Y is not the worlds pattern of a courtly monarch Oscar avers one who knew him well writing In London Truth was courtly in all his conceptions af the functions of a king Gustave is primarily a husband and king comas afterward Oscar was inexpressibly grand in manner irresistibly delightful In per- sonality Gustave has a strain of stern- ness and reserve that tinges his whole character He is typically Swedish In lila outlook upon life whereas the blooded the Norwegian point of view with that of Sweden The Norwegians are not swayed by reason writes a well informed authority in Blackwoods but are excited by a vague sentiment By tem- perament they are buoyant and excitable The Swedes on the other hand have a deeprooted dislike of innovation Their history which is a history of heroes has given them a natural respect for cus- tom and tradition It was indeed their opposing temperaments we are told which separated Norway and Sweden and Gustave V incarnates Stockholm as against Christiania He is not showy as his father was lacking the late Kings careless air in wearing smart new clothes which according to London Truth the Due de Talleyrand used to envy Tall rather dark nearsighted and unassuming Gustave is essentially democratic while seeming the opposite whereas Oscar was aristocratic although ne made much of the people Plea for Rivers and Harbors Mouton Pest It ought to be clear to experienced legis- lators like Mr Tawney that if tine policy of Improving

you to take a little mn around the block every time you wanted to smoke one of thorn Naturals as you call em and when you went out after dinner Job I calculated that maybe youd smoke about two of em and come back and here it is pUt 12 oclock and unless them cigarettes have got alcohol in em youve been mix- Ing In with some of your old cronies well you neednt think you can bluff me out that way Job That no amok rule stays up as long as Ive got anything to say about it Im sorry you were not hare Job cause Glnny came while you were out She stopped off on her way from New York to the country and she left you her love She looked awful pretty she had on a pink bombazine trimmed with real liicey and had a real mink cottar and muff her husband sent her fur a valentine You know shes only been married a but it certainly has made a wonderful change in her Shes got lots more hair than when you saw her Mat She says that all the New York ladles are spending their money for hair nowadays Even if it doesnt quite match it doesnt matter You knew it used to be the fashion to dnVe matched teams and then the fashion changed and they drive a white horse with a black one or a brown with a sorreL Its just the same with hair a real blonde wears brown sausages as they call the new curls and possibly her rat underneath is black I think 111 get some Gtnay says its real cheap as most of t Isnt real hair but it an livers the purpose and you know my false front te all faded since day it fell ia the washtub dreadful shape From what I can see theyll Just have te get another party Here everybody jumping onto poor Mr back at TOm Mr lUiney and Mr Clark and Black sad Culberson sad Foraker in Me party and out of itthey all begin abusing him and now as a last straw they say that his latest message to Congress I to be dramatized That will be his finish wont it And all the time theyre abusing Mr Roosevelt Heres Mr Leeb suffering I bet ha wishes thai hed taken that street ear job dont you Then onl the long- suffering passengers in Washington would seoid Mm now everybodys scold- ing him and I shouldnt wonder if theyd blame him if war should break out Mr Taft dont seem to be making much headway either not with For aker alter bin Its like a game of ten pins every time Mr Taft sets up a postmaster Mr Foraker knocks him down aad there goes a lot more votes And all the while tine Democratic party seeing to be getting stronger No sooner does somebody got up in Congress and denounce Mr Bryan than here comes the news of strong recruits to the ocratte Onion of Texas Mr- Gertick of Louisiana and Mr Leek Georgia All they need now is a Mr LImburger if they can flad pne any where and theyll be so strong that even Philander Knox wont care to tackle em And In the meantime I cant see body struggling very Hard for the job of Vice President They seem to forget that thats going to be vacant too Twelve thousand dollars a year it pays Job and nothing much to do Aint you eligible for it Job I wish youd try for it just think what we could do with all that money I suppose though when all is said and done theyll give it to Baby McKee Longworth The job most always was to a baldheaded men Have you reading about the fleet Job I see theyre down around Chile now Thats where the Chile concarni comes rom Little Emilys beets following the course the fleet on her map and youd be astonIshed at all the geography Ive learned through that child We followed the fleet alt down put that greets country Brazil that is its green oa the map eo suppose it means green fields and we stopped at Rio de Janeiro thats on the tropic of Capricorn you know Job burned after one of them animals with a horn sticking out of its forehead Nothing happened there ex cept a man hit a sailor over the head with a bottle Then we went on town the fleet did and we followed em with a lead Urucuay a pink place where we tounched somebody se the papers say at Montevideo Then we went on down past a purple country Argentina until we cause to the Straits socalled because theyre so crooked everythings topsyturvey in these Southern countries and we went right through with a purple map on one side came out on the other side and now were in the Pacific sailing up the long- est strip of yellow country In the world Chile It runs all the way from Cape Horn to dont know what that mat means but if you pronounce it right it sounds like a chicken drink ins And after that well get to a brown country Peru wont that be in- teresting I tell you Job If this voyage nothing but show us what a lot of beautiful colors geography is everybody ought to be satisfied There soother thing that justi ties to my mind the galling of the fleet and that is what theyre doing in San Francisco I see that they havent got all the ruins of the late fire out of thg way and so at last there comes a real Wile for all those free seeds the Congressmen have been sending out Theyre going to sow the ruins with all seeds that Congress sends out so that when the fleet there the town will look beautiful On the site of the Palace Hotel theyre going to forgotmenota and In the place winre once was Chinatown theyre going to plant poppies and on Market sreet theyre going to put in vegetable seeds and dogwood wilt blossom where once tile Psoele Dog held forthbeautiful Jy poetic I call it Job You may not lee it because you have no poetry ir your soul Isnt It awful Job that they should put those women in Ixmdoo In jail just because they have tried to get a chance to vote Id like to see them do it in froe America Why this is the freest country on earth I see that a judge out Wcflt hat decided that it is not the duty of pedestrians to dodge automobiles Ill bet they have them jumping in Lon don and Paris As for me after this whan I hear an auto horn Im just go tog to stand stilt and if they run over me its HP to you to collect the dart ages Join before I get away from politics Jolt what do you think of these Taft b UOM theyre giving oat in Chicago If theyd make them buttons that a body eookl use there might be some ease In them but I cant see that any womans going to be tickled to death useanst her husband comes home tvita a picture of a fat men in his buttonhole button now she might feet compli teed my husband sos hell tatter than that Have you reed about Eddie Foys Voice being insured Job When we heard him the other night I thought something ought to have been done t- it I expect if tbe truth were known that he had to Insure it against drown- ing it was so wet all the time I never saw a man on stage who could spit on so many people all at once I tell you bes a great senor Job now theyre talking of running him for Hamlet I should think insurance was wry Theres one thing I never can agree to though and that to this proposition te tax cats in Washington Why if tHy do that all the cats will be excom municatdd I mean exterminated and you know Job that without Cain we poor people would hardly get on at all Its alt right for Mrs Rockefeller and the rest to go clad in ermine but pen pie with our Incomes have to get our ermine from the cats A good fluffy pussy properly dyed looks just as good as these thousand dollar things if duSt look too closely Anyway bat a few people can tell the dif- ference Did you read about the tailors con- vention and what they did Theyre going to snake coats with seams and trousers without pockets Im mighty glad of the latter clause That means that a assail have to leave his money at in charge of his longsuffering wife not that youll have much to leave Job I never found anything much in your pockets Say dear who te ttote man Morse that everybodys going to get after tomorrow with war- rants It isnt the dramatic editor of the Washington Post is it Hes too nice a man for anybody to arrest and he does write the nicest criticisms I dont see how anybody could arrest him J 9 I wish youd pay attention to what rm asking you What has be- come ef Mr Lawson First of all advertised that there would be a panic unless people followed his advice and WhetS they didnt follow and a panic came anyhow he seems to have disap- peared And say Job dont you ever tell me any more funny stories I see where a lady in Kansas dislocated her jaw laughing at one of her husbands stories Just think dear if I was t dislocate mine and wasnt able to go over the stews of the week with you And Job did you see about that woman that aokl her baby carriage she could get enough money to buy a theater ticket Wasnt that dreadful But after all I would like to go and- se a show next week and little Ha leys carriage te up there in the loft not doing anybody any good Whats that Job Now Ive always opposed your going to sleep when Im talking to you but I think that tonight youd better go to sleep You neednt pull out one of them cigarettes cause youre not going to smoke it in here No sir If you want to smoke you just get your things on and get out and take a walk around the

courts decisions upon a particular line like questions of State rights a gen eration ago and now of freedom of con tract The Presidents school of public however believe that some of these latest decisions are not likely to stand with any permanency because of the inevitable movement of modern opinion- It is rather noteworthy that in a recent decision in which the court stood six to three

u important as everThe European traveler from this side

makes the mistake generally of takingmuch steamer luggage All that is

needed for either the northern 0r southem route can be packed in a grip and aBfajner trunk any more baggage thantils ia a stateroom Is very much in

In the last few years it has becometie fashion on some of the transAtlanticlies fur the men to wear evening clothes

NT dinner and for women to appeari the conventional gaxb that society at

demands often in low neck andaned arms No matter how popular this

tustom may be nothing can excuse itfor It is both uncomfortable and impracti-cable To begin with to make an elabo

toilet on a rolling ship in the limitedonflnes of a stateroom is difficult then10 matter how tight the ship the con-stant opening of the doors that lead tohe decks make unavoidable draughts andurs must be worn to Insure any degree

comfortAfter dinner It is the invariable custom

to go up on deck said to sit there in a de-collete gown and than slippers is

inviting illness Besides to appear in her ban gown on a steamer looksas tUSfjfh a woman so garbed had noother place to exhibit them or that she IBa thoroughly toexperteoeed traveler

All that a woman really needs for tendays on a steamer is abundance oflingerie since it is impossible to have anywashing done m transit a warm and at-tractive bath robe a smart tailor madetraveling dress two extra skirts oneef woolen aad one of silk with whichfancy watts can be worn a half dosenlinen safet waists two of light flannel orsilk and one or two lace or silk waistsfor evening wear A man should neverbe without his evening clothes andthough it is not good taste to dress Inthem for dinner on n steamer he mustdo so for the dinner aad thereare often other funottono given duringthe voyage where the men are expectedto niPpier m full regalia

The impetus traveling has taken in thelast quarter of a century makes the orldseem a much smaller place than it didformerly One never takes an oceansteamer without finding if he does notrun across personal friends some onewho is toe friend of some friend and soan endless chain of acquaintances extendsaround the globe The stiffnecked

regards it as questionable formto make steamer friends and yet to thecosmopolitan this is one of the mostagreeable experiences in life Many last

friendships have be formed pa thedecks o the tranaAtfliuitic and trans-pacific liners to say nothing ef the mar-riages that have resulted from the flirta-tion tbt were begun on the bonnyblue deep No one gets half as muchpleasure out of traveling who insists uponwrapping himself in a cloak of unapproachable reserve for it is not onlyscenery architecture and art that theglobe trotter should but a more in-

timate knowledge of his fellowmen asthey exist in different countries and underdifferent conditions from his own Themoat intelligent man Js the man whobest understands human nature thereis no study in a college curriculum somuch worth while and ao fascinating sothen do not discourage advances thatmay be made to you aboard ship foralthough there may be blacklegs eonndetiee men and professional gamblersamong the passengers they form asmall minority and th ry even they areto the student of human nature wellworth knowing

Traveling In Europe is much facilitatedby a knowledge of French and German-It is of course an easy matter to getalong without speaking any tongue butEnglish but one is able to travel cheaperand to secure better service if he mas-ter of the language of the country inwhich he te traveling Indeed there isquite a different price for those

the language and those who donta tact confessed to The Arbiter by theproprietor of hotel in the Tyrol whocould or would not be convinced thathe ywss wrong to tak an advantage ofthe tourists who did Dot to beUngulate

The best companion for 1t long Jour-ney is perennial eheerfolness A smilingface and gracious manners are opensesames wher gj W and passports fanThe morose and scowling person is al-ways suspected while gxwd humor Is con-tagious and inspires good will This isespecially true of Italy and the South ofFrance where no matter how hard theircondition how ground down by povertythey are the peasantry seem to take lifeas a huge jokeS and ever gay andmerry in the midst of the most disheartening surroundings A fact that shouldalways be kept in mind is that you wetraveling for ptrsonal benefit and

and not as a missionary so put allthought of reform avray and gratefullyaccept what comes to band A notable

Chauvinism will pass muster at homebut it fk In the worst possible tasteabroad and travelng patriots Should bearthat In mind when the inclination tomake the eagle scream takes possession-of them America Is of course thegreatest country on Dearth that we willall admit but therE Is no need to givethis socret away for it will surely bodiscovered sooner or later by those sounfortunate as to bo born outside herboundaries It is perhaps needless topoint out the bad taste of comparing for-eign customs with ones own If thetraveler is on the lookout for exactlywhat he can get at home it would bewiser and more economical to remainthere anti yet the Arbiter has met travel-ing Americans in Europe who grumble ateverything the railway service the postalservice the food theaters whatnot

ASPIRANT TO 1 A K

Answer You sign yourself Aspirant toD A R and ask information regard-Ing the eligibility for the Society ofColonial Dames but from tbe tenor ofyour letter The Arbiter assumes that it tothe Society of the Daughters of theAmerican Revolution with which youwish to connect yourself The only re-quirement for membership to this so-ciety is that you must prove your descentfrom some ancestor either on the spearor distaff side who fought in the Revo-lutionary war The War Departmentalways most amiable in giving informa-tion on the lines you seek The office ofthe adjutant general is the proper placeto apply You could doubtless find inthe Library of Congress a history of thetownship in which your family lived thatwould furnish you with the desired in-

formation The secretary of the Daugh-ters of tbe American Revolution whoseoffice is n the Washington Loan andTrust Building will furnish you with anapplication blank for membership shouldyou desire It For membership in theSociety of Colonial Dames it is necessaryto trace your descent from some ancestorwho was prominent in colonial tim-

F ARNOLD BABDTIt is entirely unnecessary to provide a

carriage flowers or a supper for theyoung woman whom you invite to go tothe theater Indeed it would be badtaste to ask a young lady to go with youalone in a carriage to the theater or

any else nor would it be goodform to ask her to take a teteatetesupper with you As to the flowers Ifyour Dulcinea insists upon this tributethere are just as good fish in the sea ashave ever been caught and I would wereI in your shoes seek out another Dulcinea lese exigent and more considerateBut whatever happens stay in your ownclass there would be neither peace norcomfort for you outside of It

X Q tionU it good fona to wear a fro eatto a awatkur rifbt Mover at 8 oclock ZBB

Answer It is never good form in Wash-ington to wear a frock cost for dinneror in the evening Those who do so showat once their provincialism and their In-

sistence that it is all right at homeanyhow only emphasizes this trait

HOSTESShostess should not postpone

the serving of her dinner for a tardyguest longer than fifteen minutes no

what his rank or station But noperson having a knowledge of the con-ventions of society would be a quarter-of an hour late without calling up thehouse at which he was expected by tel-ephone and giving the reason for his de-

tention All things are excusable inevon tardiness at dinner but this

fault is inexcusable in any other class

Students along almost any line are awe-struck before what Rome has to otterand to know It thoroughly a lifetimewould not suffice This story Is told ofPope Leo XIII who when giving anaudience to a party of Americans askedone of his visitors how long he had beenIn the Eternal City Three weeks wasthe response Oh then said his holi-ness with gentle Irony you know allthere Is to know about Rome Turningto another one of the party he saidAnd how long have you been in RomeSix months was the reply So you

have begun to see a little and you howlong have you boen In our city askedthe Pope of the third Four yearsanswered the person interrogated antiI know nothing about Rome SometimesI think I never shall But you al-

ready know much remonstrated the holyfather In that you have learned howlittle you do know arid how much howvery much there Is to know for RomeIs truly a lifetime study

It is well for all travelers who goabroad for something beside more reeveatkm to take a course of reading pre-paratory to their voyage and to lay In astore of suitable books for rending onthe steamer Italy is the destination ofnearly all j f these who will sail for theother side in the next few weeks andabout that earthly paradise the moatfascinating books that over ssw the lighthave been written books that not onlyserve as guides but are an intellectualfeast as well Who does ifot enjoy Flor-ence the more after having read Romolo the histories of Machiavelli andNardi and the Walks in Florence bythe Homer sisters and does not one

more quickly familiar with Romeif he knows Gibbon anti Monneen if heis familiar with Hares Walks In Romeand has rend Storys fascinating ROM dlRoma To visit Pompeii without havingfirst read Last Days of Pom-peii Is to miss halt the charm andromance of the place Cram for the tripby all means It you are going to Italyit will be well worth while and you willenjoy it a thousandfold because you areprepared for the wonders that await you

OoUwiB Smith in Toronto SueThe rules of evidence are strange Ex-

perts are not disqualified by having re-ceived a fee perhaps a heY fee fromthe party on whose behalf they appearwhile only having expressed a cursoryopinion on the incident of the day Is adisqualification for the Jury box A courtof justice la not a suitable place for the

of a question of sanity InEngland a day or probably half awould have sufficed to complete the trialThe proof of the fact which was

clear would have been put in Theverdict would have followed it Sen-tence would have been passed and

INTERURBAN ELECTRIC ROADS

Remarkable Development of NewMethods of Conunnnlcntlnn

hugh J McGewan to Municipal Engineering

The growth and success of Interurbanrailways Is not confined to any particularsection of the country They flourish InNew England anti the Middle AtlanticStates as they do in the Western and Pa-cific States They were early known Inthe South and were welcomed in theNorth But I may be pardoned in statingthat It Is believed by many that theyhave reached their highest efficiency inthe States of Illinois Indiana and Ohiowhich be characterIzed as The BigThree Thp total interurban railwaymileage in this trio of States

MOO miles representing an Invest-ment of many millions of dollars As anindication of the possibilities of throughtravel It may be mentioned that uponthe completion of a gap of fifty miles onemay journoy m interurban cars from EastSt Loqis to Chicago and upon the build-Ing of a short connecting link betweenDanville III and Crawfordsvllle Imlit will be possible to go from St Louisto Buffalo by electric traction At

the interests which I represent owna through line In full operation betweenParis III and Zsnosvllle Ohio a distanceof over 300 miles and will in the nearfuture Install a through service betweenIndianapolis and Toledo ss well as

Cincinnati and Toledo thence toCleveland and Buffalo

Indianapolis is located in the center ofthis great network of andoccupies a unique position in the trac-tion world Front the middle of a largeblock owned by the traction companysituated in th heart of the city on oneside of which hi the State house anti onthe other the most beautiful and loftysoldiers and sailors monument in theUnited States rises the now famousTraction Building erected three years agoat a cost exceeding JltO6tO with Its spa-cious and handsome terminal station

conceded to ba the tiniest in theworld Nine tracks enter this staUpnaccommodating twelve interurhan linesand divisions which run in all directionsFour hundred cars on an ertrage arriveand depart daily which on a steam

would equal lit trains of four caneach In IMS more tttan passen-gers were carried to and from this ter-minal station and it is estimated that inMOT the number will reach 00960 Thesefigures do not include passengers carriedbetween points outside of the city limits

Indiana with its LfiW mtlas of interurbanroads controlled by vartoug companiesare duplicated in every other State ofthe Union enjoying a like means of trans-portation Employment has been crestedfor thousands Social conditions havewonderfully improved Crowded citiesthriving towns and villages hamlets andrural districts are all happily united aadshare allies the advantages of interurbanlines There is an awakening and thrillof life never felt before in every town andvillage through which an interurbanline runs Commercial opportunities whichlay dormant are made possible and

profitable realities New marketsare opened The reciprocal relationswhich develop between city and townand between the village and farm arebeneficial to all The dweller in the smalltown while escaping the expense of liv-ing In a big city may still enjoy all itsadvantages He receives by means of theinterurban cars his morning paper every-day before breakfast and his afternoonpaper before his evening meal and is intouch with the news of the world Theweekly newspaper is getting to be thingof the past His sons and daughters mayattend the institutions of higher educa-tion in the city and return to the parentalfireside every evening The theaters andgrand concerts are likewise available Nolonger is the narrow view entertainedthat interurban roads benefit the largecities at the expense of the towns

CRAZE FOR DECORATIONS

Xnvnl Officer Repreccte tine RagePrevalent 1 This Country

Prom of Rear Admiral Chadwfck to the

May I say a few words in generalupon the present rage in our country

titles and decorations so much tobe deprecated Congress unfortunatelyyielded to this some years ago and passeda law enabling officers ef the army andnavy to wear with uniform the decorations-of Ute patriotic societies to which theybelong An officer can if he should aowish thus appear at a foreign court indecorations all of which he has voted

himself almost as numerous as thoseof the German Emporer I have seen a

colonel of the civil war appearat the English court with five decorationsof this character Three were corpsbadges and two were badges of marks-manship It was somewhat embarrass-ing to be aXed frequently by foreignerswho knew that at the time our govern-ment granted no decorations what thesewere I hold that no officer should wearabroad any badge or decoration whichhas not been given him by the government itself I am pleased to say that-I not known an instance of a naval

doing otherwise So much has thispassion raged in Washington that gen-erals of sorts heretofore unknown havecropped up in all directions and societycertainly not the officials themselves

chooses to apply it to every one in whosetitle the word appears I have seen inthe newspapers that the usage commonamong subordinates of addressing thePostmaster General or any of the As-sistant Postmasters General as generalhas been forbidden by the former It isthe first step which I have seen taken incorrecting a ridiculous absurdity whichour people should not be guilty of It isnot so serious in practice as it is in theindication of a failure to recognize thedignity of a system which in theory hassystematically set its face against theuse of any title which Is not necessaryfor public purposes Let us have adignity ot practice which shall corres-pond the theory

CENTENNIAL OF ANTHRACITE

One Hundred Yenrs Since It WasFirst Used for Fuel

1rwn the Scientist AmertcsnAppropriate celebration of eenten

anthracite coal Is being consideredby the citizens of the town of PlymouthPa la TS7 the first shipment of the

black stone was by boat downthe Susqwahttana River from Pijrmouthto Columbia Pa This date marks the be-

ginning of the UM of anthracite whichaccording to records of the United StatesGeological Survey was discovered about1760 but was burned only by the UK ofblowers antI forced draft before UK

It was the discovery that anthracitemust bo reed from every Impurity anticrushed to a uniform size before it couldbe successfully burned which started thegreat Industry that this year will proba-bly have an output of 70000100 tons

People had become accustomed to burnlug soft coal which so muchgas that lumps of any size could bereadily ignited and burned without diffi-

culty Few would have predicted thatunlike soft coal which is sent to marketas it comes from the mine hard coalwould require preparation for market almost as complicated as the manufactureof flour from wheat

The actual mining of anthracite is onlythe beginning of a series of processeswhich produce the accurately sized purecoal which is so satisfactorily burned

la millions of homes and in heatingplants of large buildings which must havesmokeless chimneys As it comes from themines anthracite varies in size from lumpsas large M a watermelon to those assmall as a walnut The large lumps sireindividually examined on benches by menwho are expert jn detecting layers ofblack slate or other impurities which lookmuch like coal and which are unavoida-bly mined with it With small axes thelumps lire cracked and every vestige ofun material is removed beforethe coal is passed on to be crushed andsorted by passing over moving screensinto the numerous sizes ready for loadingon the earL

Lumps too small to be separately in-

spected on the start are crushed first andscreened into uniform sice after whichboys pick out all the impurities as thecoal passes slowly in thin layers downlong chutes In some localities considera-ble dirt adheres to the coal and in addltics to the chsshing and sizing it is nec-essary to subject it to several washingsduring preparation so that it will be cleanand bright and all impurities can bereadily seen and removed

ContniMt Between Southern antiNorthern Point of

the Wall Slyest JournalThe attitude of representative Southern

spokesmen toward immigration has fromtime to time shown itself hi a decided an-tagonism to the appearance of certain

of foreigners in the States southof the Potomac and east ef the IVIissi-ssippt The South European has usuallybeen objected to as not furnishing adesirable addition to tbe populationThese people have been given to under-stand repeatedly though nut ottfcialiythat they were simply not expected-

In contrast wkh this attitude is that efMassachusetts which accepts what comesher way employs it In her Industries andthen makes systematic inquiry into thesise of the problem which confronts herTbe Southern attitude is one ofThe Massachusetts method tewhich business sense and scientific in

unite to get tbe best out of thenation

No depreciation is Involved in referringto the Southern attitude as sentimentalThe South has its institutions its tradi-tions and its ambitions which it is dutybound to preserve and protect from anything less desirable Oa the other handMassachusetts has her pride of elitismshiP but she has also her industries andher commerce for which skilled and un-skilled labor is needed In hundreds ofthousands If Northern Europe does notfurnish what is needed then the SouthEuropean is welcome to meet the demandsas the next best solution of the laborproblem

Massachusetts meets this problem insystematic way which may be com-

mended for general adoption The Bureauof Statistics of Labor expresses the cuethus That which we have thereforesuspected but perBaps too vaguely forsouse years we can no longer avoid ac-cepting as a fact namely that our prob-lem of assimilation In the years immedi-ately ahead must have to do less and lesswith Celtic and more and more withSlavic and Ibertc infusions Each ofthese latter infusions has increased nearly

1 per cent amce 1886 against 317 perrent of Teutonic and 364 of Celtic Theimportant thing is to know the facts IDexact numbers and then to begin tomake the best possible citizen out of thealien on the spot

Plea for Rivers and HarborsMouton Pest

It ought to be clear to experienced legis-lators like Mr Tawney that if tine policyof Improving rivers and harbors is to beabandoned every other year for revenue-or political consideration the progress ofthe country will b greatly retarded Withthe demand for more pensions and agreater navy it is evon improbable thatthe revenue laws unless they be amendedwill ever create such a surplus as willadmit of continuing river and harbor im-provements We know the Republicansare not going to cut present regular ex-penditures Do they intend to abandonour rivers and harbors

RECENT LABOR DECISIONS

Will They Be Overruled by Growthof Popular Sentiment

the Boston TranscriptIt is probable that the remaining months

of Ute Roosevelt administration will wit-ness much zeal on his part toward raodl-fyhig to some extent the legal status oflabor The line of decisions which haverecently attracted so much attention re-

flect a disposition on the part ofcourts to hold In check the growing demands of labor much like the line of de-

cision in the days of reconstruction whenthe Supreme Court stood as a protector-of Southern rights It is usually possibleto discern the prevailing drift of legis-lation by the and unanimity ofthe courts decisions upon a particularline like questions of State rights a generation ago and now of freedom of contract The Presidents school of public

however believe that some of theselatest decisions are not likely to standwith any permanency because of theinevitable movement of modern opinion-

It is rather noteworthy that in a recentdecision in which the court stood six tothree against what would have boon theRoosevelt policy the minority includedthe two Massachusetts judges both hisappointees and both coming from

the most conservative corner ofthe country

PENALTY OF PROCRASTINATION

most disagreeable duties in its historyThe inevitable has arrived In the form ofthe final cold proposition that the agedand infirm department employes must gIt is not proposed to pension them butsimply to turn them out

On one side Is the waste of public reve-nue iiuretaining an army of governmentservitors grown gray and stooped andwho cannot do the quick work of younrmen and women On the other is thecruelty of a great government turning itstimeworn employee into aworld in which they cant compete forlivelihood

With permanent tenure of office duringgood behavior it Is inevitable that anarmy of government employes will serveuntil very old age No pension system

provided the government Is obligedeither to retain incapacitated attaches orturn them out ruthlessly It is all owingto the procrastination of Congress in dealog with an inevitable consequence of per-manent tenure of office
