Provisions are College Girls. . , , , to be made by which these young women during the course of their college instruction are to be taught some of the general prin ciples of agriculture. Undoubtedly this work will include vegetable gar dening, horticulture, floriculture and general agriculture. While nothing more will be attempted than the theo retical, save in a few cases where it would be possible to make the instruc tion of practical importance, the sole object for the present will be to give some much needed information about common things that many of the com ing generation, and particularly young women of city breeding, are sadly de ficient in. Considering the fact that the vast majority of the present city bred population are generally from only one to three generations removed from the farm, this tendency in educa tion is not so wonderful as it might appear. As long as agriculture is the foundation of American business it will never injure the young women, even of as high an institution as Wellesley, to become speakingly fa miliar with its general principles. Again there are those who are inclined to be lieve that the modern idea of proper education is along lines too classical for practical people. They will evi dently view the proposed change in thin leading eastern college with favor, though there are undoubtedly those who would have chosen a line that would appeal more closely to the after life of the average young woman.

This tablet is about two feet square and is cast with its inscrip tions standing in bold relief so that they may be read at a considerable dis tance. On the upper left-hand corner ore the words "Plant truths" and upon the upper right-hand corner the words *'Plant trees."

So many vicious amusements bid for the evenings of a young man in a city that one is tempted to ascribe a definite moral value to the indoor sports, like basket-ball and bowling, which have been so popular of late. Athletic in terest is a good thing in itself, and, as the Springfield Kepublican suggests, we should appreciate it more if we Studied a people who, like the French, are without it, and sa-w the ideals that take the place of the athletic ideal our own young men set up. If the athletic interest finds expression, now and then, in what seems a trivial pastime, we can better pardon that than leave the young man's evening open to the de moralizing influence of places: like the saloon. "I think there is some one on the fourth floor!" cried the foreman of a Chicago factory, rushing back into a blazing building from which he had just led a crowd of working girls. A volunteer followed him, but when the heal and smoke became unbearable he shouted to the foreman to escape with him. "I could just see Parr through the smoke," the volunteer taid afterward; "he was going on." Parr's body was found later near the fatal stair, ilis soul goes marching on. Bven lledin, the explorer, has a mot lo for his coat-of-aruis which finely ex presses the reasons for his success. King Oscar selected the motto, "Volun tate et Lahore"—"By Wish and by Work." The conqueror of difficulties in oilier departments than that of searching out the hidden places of the earth is likely to find that he owes his triumph to love for his work and to diligence. ON MONROE DOCTRINE President Roosevelt Discusses Prin ciple and What It Involves. It* Hearing on the I'nnania Canal— l£s |tln I tin Attitude Toward the Venezuelan Affair true* ClaiuiM of the .\avy. (Atldress delivered at Chacag'o, April 2, 1903.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies, anil Gentle men: Ever since the time when we definitely extended our boundaries westward to the Pacific and south ward to the gulf, since the time when the old Spanish and Portuguese col onies to the south of us asserted their independence, our nation has insisted that because of its primacy in strength among the nations of the western hemisphere it has certain duties and responsibilities which oblige it to take a leading part thereon. We hold that our interests in this hemisphere are greater than those of any European power possi bly can be, and that our duty to our selves and to the weaker republics w ho are our neighbors requires us to see that none of the great military powers from across the seas shall encroach upon the territory of the American republics or acquire con trol thereover. This policy, therefore, not only forbids us to acquiesce in such terri torial acquisition, but also causes us to object to the acquirement of a control which would in its effect be equal to territorial aggrandizement. This is why the United States has steadily believed that the construc tion of the great Isthmian canal, the building of which is to stand as the greatest material feat of the twen tieth century—greater than any sim ilar feat in any preceding century— should be done by no foreign nation but by ourselves. The canal must of necessity go through the territory of one of our smaller .sister repub lics. We have been scrupulously careful to abstain from perpetrating any wrong upon any of these repub lics in the matter. We do not wish to interfere with their rights in the least; but, while carefully safeguard ing them, to build the canal ourselves under provisions which will enable us, if necessary, to police and protect it, and to guarantee its neutrality, we being the sole guarantor. Our in tention was steadfast; we desired ac tion taken so that the canal could always be used by us in time of peace and war alike, and in time of war could never be used to our detriment by tiny nation which was hostile to us. After considerably more than half of a century these objects have been exactly fulfilled by the legislation and treaties of the last two v r ears. About the same time trouble arose in connection with the republic of Venezuela because of certain wrongs alleged to have been committed, and debts overdue, by this republic to citizens of various foreign powers, notably England, Germany and Italy. After failure to reach an agreement these powers began a blockade of the Venezuelan coast and a condition of quasi-war ensued. The concern of our government was of course not to interfere needlessly in any quarrel so far as it did not touch our inter ests or our honor, and not to take the attitude of protecting from coer cion any power unless we were will ing to espouse the quarrel of that power, but to keep an attitude of watchful vigilance and see that there was no infringement of the Monroe doctrine-—no acquirement of terri torial rights by a European power at the expense of a weak sister repub lic—whether this acquisition might take the shape of an outright and avowed seizure of territory or of the exercise of control which would in effect be equivalent to such seizure. The terms which we have secured as those under which the Isthmian canal is to be built, and the course of events in the Venezuela matter, have shown not merely the ever growing influence of the United States in the western hemisphere, but also, I think I may safely say, have exemplified the firm purpose of the United States that its growth and influence and power shall redound not to the harm but to the benefit of our sister repub lics whose strength is less. Our growth, therefore, is beneficial to human kind in general. There is a homely old adage which runs: "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." If the American nation will speak softly, end yet build, and keep at a pitch of the highest training, a thorough ly efficient navy, the Monroe doctrine will go far. Well, in the last two years I am happy to say we have taken long strides in advance as regards our navy. The last congress, in addition to smaller vessels, provided nine of those formidable fighting ships upon which the real efficiency of any navy in war ultimately depends. It pro vided, moreover, for the necessary addition of officers and enlisted men to make the ships worth having. \inprlclt'H Railway Inventions This country invented the parlor, sleeping and (lining cars, the pressed stcel freight car, and many of the best features of the modern locomo tive, the airbrake, the automatic coupler, and a host of related de vices, and il runs Hie fastest long-dis tance trains. \ arlety.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 9. 1903. CHARGE OF BRIBERY. Dr. Flowcr'i Attorney Is Said to Have OfYV-rrd tt.OOO to Obtain ludlt t> nicnts. New York, April 4. Lnwver George Ediwar<] Mills, the business partner of the son <if Dr. Richard C. Flower, was arrested Friday on a charge ot attempting to .bribe Assistant Dis trict Attorney Garvan, who is the prosecutor in the case against Dr. Flower. It is alleged he offered Mr. Garvan $1,7."<0 for the five original in dictments against Flower. Acting District. Attorney Schurman made the following statement in ref erence to the case: "On Monday, March 30, a man pur porting to represent George 15. Mills, one of R. C. Flower's lawyers, came to the office of Mr. Garvan, deputy assistant district attorney, and stated that Mr. Mills wanted to meet him with a view of making a money proposition to induce him to get rid of the charges pending against R. C. Flower and to make a favorable re port declaring that the late Mr. llagaman died from natural causes. Mr. Garvan immediately brought the man before District Attorney Je rome, who took charge of the matter from that time on. "At, District Attorney Jerome's di rection Detective Sergeant I'rindley met Mills, who made the proposition to him that for the sum of $2,000 he obtain from the office the original in dictments against Flower and deliver them to Mills, to be destroyed in his presence. "To-day Brindlev met, Mills at a restaurant and Mills there gave him $1,500, saying the money was to be given to Mr. Garvan; also $2.10 for Ilrindley personally, saying that lie? (Mills) had $2.(0 more which he would keep for himself. T! rind ley* then delivered to Mills the five origi nal indictments against Flower, which District Attorney Jerome had procured for that purpose with the permission of the court. Urindlcy at once placed Mills under arrest and called witnesses who were in the res taurant at the time and in their pres ence took from Mills' possession the five original indictments against Flower." BUSINESS BOOMS. Outlook In TOany Brandies I* Mor« •favorable- Trade Hevlew. New York, April 4. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Another week of goo<l weather has brought out a large volume of busi ness, many manufacturers receiving urgent requests for immediate ship ments. Floods have caused serious losses at a few points along the Mis sissippi and traffic was interrupted on .railways in that vicinity, but on the whole the freight situation is more satisfactory than at any time this year. Quicker transportation has relieved the fuel pressure and the in dustrial situation would be unpreee dentedly favorable, were it not for the prevalence of labor disputes. Less interruptions from fuel scarc ifj- and traffic congestion have pro duced a most desirable condition of activity in all departments of the iron and steel industry, but the structural workers' strike has tend ed to restrict resumption. Textile manufacturing conditions are unsettled by strikes, and the fu ture course of prices as well as the general situation must depend large ly upon this factor. Throughout the cotton industry there is a disposition to await developments. Only a very light demand is coming forward for men's wear woolens and worsteds, and most new orders are for filling out sample business. Failures this week in the United States are 173, against 167 in the cor responding week last year, and in Canada 18, against 22 last year. MINERS' STRIKE. Struggle that Promises to be Stubborn Begins at Snow Slioe, Pa. Altoona, Pa., April 4.—What prom ises to be one of the most bitterly contested strikes ever known in the central Pennsylvania bituminous coal region has been inaugurated at the mines of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. at Snow Shoe, Pa. The officials of District No. 2, United Mine Workers of America, say that the coal com pany is forcing the fight to destroy the organization rather than to set tle any differences over scale mat ters. The company has refused to allow a cheek weighman on the tipple, al though the presence of the check weighman is compulsory according to state law, if the miners desire to have one there. The miners' officials also say that the company has dis charged 50 men for joining the or ganization. DEATH IN A STORM. Tornado that Swept Over Southern Indiana was Very Destructive. Washington, Ind., April 4.—One of the most destructive tornadoes in years swept through the country, de stroying barns, houses and trees. At the Wathen district school were 40 children. One end of the building fell inward. The children were on the opposite side of the room, but a lit tle girl was struck by a brick and fatally injured, and several others were badly hurt. The two-story house of Frank Palmer was lifted off its foundations. Mr. Palmer's barn and its contents were destroyed. At Oakland City, a wall of the Oak land City Manufacturing Co.'s build ing caved in. O. C. May, an employe, was buried under the debris, receiv ing fatal injuries. The Sultan Yield*. Washington, April 4.—The long ex pected interview between United Stales Minister Lelshman and the sultan of Turkey took place yester day at Constantinople. Minister Leish man cabled the state department that he presented the president's letter to the sultan and received satisfactory assurances on all points mentioned. These relate to the recognition of di plomas issued by American colleges in Turkey to native graduates and a general admission of Americans in Turkey to the privileges enjoyed by other nationalities Mrs. Laura L. Barnes, Wash ington, D. C., Ladies Auxiliary to Burnside Post, No. 4, G. A. R., recommends Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 41 In diseases that come to women only, as a rule, the doctor is called in, some times several doctors, but still matters go from bad to worse; but I have never known of a case of female weak ness which was not helped when Ijydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was used faithfully. For young women who are subject to headaches, backache, irregular or pain ful periods, and nervous attacks due to the severe strain on the system by some organic trouble, and for women of advanced years in the most trying time of life, it serves to correct every trouble and restore a healthy action of all organs of the body. " Lydia E.Pinkliam'sVegetable Compound is a household reliance in my home, and I would not be with out it. In all my experience with this medicine, which covers years, I have found nothing to equal it and al ways recommend it." MRS. LAURA. L. BARNES, 607 Second St., N. E., Wash ington, D. C. SSOOO forfeit If original of mtoue tetter proulng genuineness cannot be produced. Such testimony should he ac cepted by all women as convinc ing evidence that Lydia E.

The idea of object teaching, the founda tion of the Froebel system of instruction, has in recent years met with general accept ance and adoption in almost every branch of education, high and low, with resultant ben efits which are beyond question. Even such subjects as grammer and arithmetic are now taught in this way so far as practicable, and with marked advantage over the old dry and abstract method. The practice of teaching history by making pilgrimages to the very scenes where great historical events have occurred is an application of the same principle and much more valuable in the way of impressing the reality of history upon the minds of the young than any amount of mere text-book instruction could be. Are cent issue of the "Four-Track Series," pub lished by the New York Central manage ment, gives a description of the historical sites in the immediate vicinity of New York, which will be of exceeding value for the guidance of teachers and others who desire to adopt this method of historical study. One of the best ways to develop civic pride and promote good citizenship lies in this very direction, an increase of knowledge of local history being accompanied with an in crease of interest in matter- of local govern ment and a higher concern for what affects the welfare and pood name of the commu nity.—From Leslie's Weekly.

"That will be delightful, said Mrs. Johnson. The counle arrived at the hotel in dua course, and they were just in time for tea. Johnson escorted his bride proudly to a table in the dining room and then, after an admiring glance at her, looked quizzically round the board. There was no honey on the table and none in the room. Johnson was surprised and called a waiter. "See here," said he, "where's my honey?"
