But little over 6 feet In stature ad slight and apparently frail In roportlon, he gave little promise of tare distinction or even of very an life when he left Cambridge In .877 and started for Japan by way if Europe. In Europe he remained a year, iwlng the simple life and studying lard while he was there. He went tome to Japan, and the world did lot open very brilliantly to him at he outset. Extreme modesty com plied with a very robust article of dependence was a handicap In the ginning of his career. He had n a government student sent out o America.

The Caofles of Emigration. "There is a double stream of emi gration 'from England," says a wrt .er in the London Graphic, "Our poor emigrate to the United states or the colonies to Improve their circumstances, but there are svery year some thousands of com paratively rich families among us .hat remove to the continent to live cheaply. This second stream Is grow ing in magnltade every year, for prices In England are continually in creasing. It was from the ranks of the 'moderately rich' that we used to get some of our officers for the army; but the sons of these 'emi grants now become acquainted with foreign languages and find bet ter employment In commerce and often on the continent."

IDS 1 TUIUTIKS OP A CKNTfRT. Europe's State System After the the Napoleonic Wars. It was in November, 1814, that the famous Committee of the Elpht Powers Austria, England, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Portugal and Sweden met at Vienna under the presidency of Prince Metter nlch to draw up a treaty which was to be henceforth the written law of Europe. The necessity for such a tre;.ty was pressing. The moment seemed propitious. In the lawless grasp of Napoleon Bonaparte Eu rope had become a conglomeration of states without fixed boundaries or acknowledged rights to politcal ex istence. The old landmarks had been swept away, the balance of power destroyed, a strong state had become weak, weak states had be come strong. The armies of Rus sia won in occupation of Poland. Austrfan troops held all of Italy ex cept Naples, English and Swedish troops held Holland and Belgium. English and Portuguese troops held a largo portion of Spain, the Prus sian troops held Saxony, the troops of Wurtemberg and Baden held the Rhine provinces. At length the hand which had wrought all this confusion was believed to have been effectually paralyzed. The sooner the normal state of things could be restored the better. Such was the train of ideas which led up to the Congress of Vienna. It was Poland that formed the first stumbling block in the way of con cord among the Powers. That un fortunate country had been torn Into three fragments in 1772 and divi ded between Austria, Germany and Russia, the latter having the lion's hare. Russia was now in martial possession of the entire country. It was the chlvalrlc dream of the Rus sian Emperor Alexander I. to repair the partition and to replace the Poles in their condition as a free and constitutional kingdom under Russian suzerainty. But all other Powers objected to the proposal. Their combined weight won. Fin ally a compromise wns arrived at. It was agreed that a portion of the Duchy of Warsaw should be divided between AuBtria and Prussia, the remaining portion (save Cracow, which was to be a free city) receiv ing a constitution, and being united to the Russian crown as the king dom of Poland Thus the sanction of a great European treaty was given to a great European wrong. Two treaties of Paris are famous in American history. The first made in 1803, ceded the province of Louisiana to this country. The sec ond, made between Spain and the United States, after the war of 1898, ceded to this country all Spanish possessions in the East and the West Indies. The, Spanish and American Com missioners, five from each country, met at Paris on October 1, 1898. The American Commissioners were William R. Day, chairman; Sena tor Cushman Davis, Senator William P. Frye, Whltelaw Reld and Sena tor Oeorge Gray. Spain was repre sented by Eugenlo Montero Rlos, chairman; Buenaventura d'Arbazu za, Jose de Garnlca, Wenceslao Ra mirez de Villa Urrutla and General Rafael Cerrero. The Cuban question was the first to come up for consideration. The Spanish Commissioners contended that since there was no Cuban State sovereignity over Cuba it must pass to the United States and that the lat ter was responsible for the Cuban debt secured on the customs of the island. The American Commission ers refused to accept for their gov ernment the capacity of sovereignty over Cuba, representing that the war avowedly had not been waged for territorial aggrandizement, but for liberation and order. It was not till October 27 that the Spanish Commissioners accepted the Cuban articles. The demands of the United States in regard to the Philippines and other Islands in the East and West Indies were presented on Oc tober 31. They included the cession of the entire Philippine archipelago, as well as Puerto Rico and Guam, the United States agreeing to reimburse Spain to the extent of her pacific expenditures for permanent im provements. To this Spain demurred on the ground, among others, that the capitulation of Manila on the day subsequent to the signing of the protocol of peace was void. She of fered to submit the question to arbi tration The United States refused to recede from Its position, and on November 21, announced its final offer to pay $20,000,000 in a lump sum as compensation to Spain for all improvements. The Commis sioners further agreed that the United States would maintain in the Philippines an open door to all na tions, a stipulation which carried with it the admittance of Spanish ships and Spanish merchandise on the same terms as those of the United States. Further, they agreed to the mutual relinquishment of all American and Spanish claims, either individual or national, for indemnity that had arisen since the opening of hostilities. November 28 was named as the final day for the ac ceptance or rejection of these terms. On that date the terms were ac cepted by Spain. The treaty was finally druwn up on December 10 and was signed the samo evening It certainly does try a girl's nerve when she braces herself to receive the shock of a proposal and the shock falls to materialize. It's) a pity that the average man is suldom able to catch up with his brilliant future. Gfiuit) Laws of 1905, A Digest That Will Interest Sportsmen and the Public Genera I . Almost every week we arc asked about frome part of the game laws, snowing the forgctfulness of the average sportsman. A summary has been printed in this paper, but it is herewith repeated, this time be ing strictly correct and direct from the state game commissioners. Quail, Nov. I to Dec. i. Kail or reed birds, Sept. i to Dec. i. Wild turkey, Oct. 15 to Dec. 1. Ruffed grouse, Oct. 15 to Dec. 1. Plover, July 1510 Dec. 1. Wild fowl, Sept. 1 to May 1. Woodcock, Oct. I to Dec. I.

Bass, June 15 to Feb. 15. Pike, June 15 to Feb. 15. It is unlawful: To shoot or hunt on Sunday, penalty $25 00; to kill any song or insectivorous birds, or destroy any of the nests or eggs, except for scientific purposes' Per mits to collect game mammals, birds, nests and eggs must be ob tained from the game commission ers. It is unlawful: To kill, or en trap or pursue with intent to kill, any elk, deer, fawn, wild turkey, pheasant, grouse, quail, partridge or woodcock for the purpose of sell ing the same, or to ship any of the above game out of the state; pen alty $100 for elk, deer or fawn so taken, purchased or sold, and $25 for every wild turkey, pheasant, grouse, quail, partridge or wood cock. Unlawlul for any one per son to kill in any one day more than ten woodcock, or more than five ruffed grouse, ("commonly called pheasants,) or more than one wild tuikey, or to kill in one season more than one deer. Unlawful to use dogs in hunting for deer, under penalty of $100. Dogs pursuing deer may be killed. Hunting rabbits with ferrets prohibited. Unlawful to shoot buckshot at deer. "To say that the fish laws of this commonwealth are a howling farce is to express the fact very mildly, indeed." says an exchange. "We have a,n elaborate program for the protection of game fish, with string ent regulations as to the conduct of fishermen. The length of the trout bass, pike or other game fish that may be caught is carefully limited, and the particular season of the year in which any fish may be caught is definitely prescribed. We have a Department of Fisheries, which has a supervision over the several State hatcheries, and whose duty it is, to look after the enforce ment of the laws by the army of fish wardens, all maintained at con siderable expense to the state. If a hungry mountaineer, who lives forty miles from a meat market, catches and keeps a trout under six inches long he is liable to a fine of $10 per fish. If a poor widow, with a family of six children, catches a few bass in a gill-net or by some, other device, fo feed her hungry offspring, she becomes a criminal. But a little chemical factory with a capital of two or three thousand dollars, a tannery or pulp mill, may locate on the head waters of one of our most beautiful fiishing streams and transform it into a black and foul-smelling sewer, destroying every vestige of life in the stream and rendering it unfit for domestic water supply purposes, and nothing can be done. Of course it is argued that the streams of the commonwealth are its natural sew ers, and that the industries are worth vastly more to the people than the fish. While this is true, it is also true that much could be done in the way of preventing the pollution and poisoning of the streams without injuring our indus tries. Filter sand furnaces could be constructed at comparatively small expense and disease-breeding offal that is carelessly turned into the streams might be rendered harmless." Advice to Country GirU- Speaker Deplores the Tendency to Desert the Farms lor tho City. "There are many young women in reach of my voice who are yearn ing to leave the farm and become typewriters and stenographers in somebody's offic? in the large cities. I think it is the' greatest mistake ever made. The young woman goes to the city and enters an office where her employer not only owns her clerical services, but in many and very many instances he de grades her." This was the statement made to the farmers of Northern Chester county at their annual picnic on Thursday by Dr. William II. Mos teller, a former practicing physician of Philadelphia. A Cmii 13 NEAR- New York District Attorney Says Political and Soc'al Unrest Is Growing. William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New York, addressed 6,000 people at the Chautauqua as sembly Saturday afternoon on "The Patr'otism of Peace." , Mr. Jerome declared that condi tions ol political and social unrest are fast approaching a crisis in this country. He attributed it to pre- ' valence of selfishness and dis- j honesty. He referred to he Kquit able investigation. " Has any one brought to light any intent to pro- J tect the widow and the orphan?" i exclaimed Mr. Jerome. He referred to the building of j Carnegie libraries in New York, 1 which he said, are not used and never can be. j "I for or:e believe it unwise to take millions from the pockets of the toilers down in Homestead and build useless libraries," he said. ''Better forget the name of Carnegie and leave that money with the men who earned it and make their homes happy. I believe in law and order, but if I lived in one of those miser able hovels in the iron and steel district and needed money for a loved one I should not view the founding of these libaries with com placency."

States In Concert on Divorce Legislation This week Governor Penny packer expects more responses to his action in seeking uniformity of divoice legislation from Governors throughout the State. It is said that the Governor is assured of the co-operation of the Governors of all the States in the Union in his efforts for the holding of a national con gress to draft legislation for the correction of the defects in the existing divorce laws. On Saturday he made public letters from the Governors, in re sponse to communications sent by him to the Executives of the vari ous States, setting forth that the Legislature of Pennsylvania, under the terms of a law passed at the re cent session, had authorized him to take the initiative in carrying out the suggestion of President 'Roose velt in his message for a national congress on divorce legislation. Not one unfavorable reply was received. The Governor explained that the Legislature had authorized him to appoint three commissioners to represent Pennsylvania in the pro posed congress, and to request each of the other States to do likewise, with a view of subsequent adoption by each State Legislature of the divorce bills agreed on by the con gress. The commissioners from Penn sylvania are William H. Staake and Walter George Smith, of Phila delphia, and C. Larue Munsou, of Williamsport. The Legislature ap propriated $10,000 to this commis sion to deiray its expenses. . . Hero It Relief for Women. If you have pains In the back. Urinary.

Beef Trust Under Tire Futile Pressure to Prevent Prosecution as a Meat Poisoner A Harrisburg dispatch says: The beef trust's supply department in this state will be under fire in a short time, when suits will be in stituted in 25 counties in the interior of the state, and possibly some in Philadelphia, by Pure Food Com missioner Warren for using meat preservatives injurious to the pub lic health. Dr. Warren has been in confer ence with his deputy. Oliver 1). Schock, and Special Agent Ban- shoff, of Pittsburg and details of the suits have been arranged. The names of the alleeed offend ers are withheld at present, but tney are said to represent Armour & Co.; the Schwarzchild-Sulzberg-er Co.; Swift & Co.; Nelson, Mor ris & Co.; the Cudahv company and the Hammond company. It is expected that the packers will stand by the individual repre sentatives, and a long legal battle is looked for. The supreme court has decided that the individual seller is respon sible for adulterated food, whether or not the adulterant was placed therein by himself, a middleman or a manufacturer. It is alleged by the department that meats have been colored by marking with poisonous coal tar dyes; dipped in formaldehyde solu tion: dusted with sulphite, and washed with powerful boracic acid solutions. Since the recent announcement that Dr. Warren contemplated these suits the trust has been very busy and has brought all sorts of pres sure to stand them off, without success The Tax on Poles The Nescopeck borough , council has levied a tax against the Bell Telephone Company of one dollar a pole a year, and propose to enforce the collection.

But this law or regulation is ignored by some, who dash through the streets at a very much greater speed. There are some who do not take the ore- caution to slacken up at street corners, and others do not blow their horns or give, a signal upou approaching a street corner. A team driving around a corner is in im minent danger of being struck. There is no excuse for this. The automobilist has his rights-the same rights any other vehicle has on the streets or public roads, but the law prohibits him from fast and reckless running, because it endangers life and limb and property. The track at the fair grounds is a good place to speed, neither the town streets nor the country roads should be turned into race tracks. It is sure ly reasonable to ask them to respect the rights of others to use the streets and highways, and to pay a proper regard for the safety of the public.
