Probably the most remarkable shoes | ever produced within recent times were those worn at a function in Lon j don the other day by a lady well known in society. In keeping with a . gorgeous gown, which is said to have 1 cost a fabulous sum, she wore a pair of shoes that were literally covered j with flashing jewels—diamonds, rubies j and pearls. The style of decoration was of a remarkably striking charac ter. Five hundred dollars was the price of each shoe. Cigaiette clubs, the object of which Is lo provide their members with cig aretles by buying them in bulk outside of the state, have been formed in In dianapolis and in other cities of the fctate, and thousands of packages are now coming into Indiana through the mails and by express. In nearly all the counties the decision by Judge Leathers, holding that cigarettes so bought may lje smoked legally, has been generally accepted. Local dealers who ; refuse to handle cigarettes are taking the orders for the clubs. President Roosevelt has indicated the metes and bounds of the family by numerous letters of congratulation to fathers and mothers of 12, 16 and 20 children and upwards, and the public mind was reaching a sort of fixity and finality on the vexed subject. Now comes Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, presi dent of New York's Federation of Day Nurses, with a new dictum which up sets everything. She declares "the ab solute limit of a woman's capacity for taking care of babies is eight, and she ought never to have more than six." There are domestic fires burning in Yorkshire, Eng., to-day which have . never been out for hundreds of years, j At the old-fashioned farmhouses in the ! dales of Yorkshire peat is still burned.

The juxtaposition of the names of Morton and Bonaparte, in connection with the cabinet, shows that the re publican party still has the power which it was famed for at its birth of attracting the young, alert, progressive men from all the other political or ganizations. Paul Morton, the head of the navy department, was a democrat until a few years ago. So was Charles J. Bonaparte, who succeeds him. Both are men in the early prime of life. Mor ton comes from a family which has been democratic through generations. His father held office under a demo j cratic administration,"Being secretary of agriculture in one of Cleveland's j cabinets. None of the American Bona partes has been a republican until the present member of that house changed his polities a few years ago. Each of these democrats of several generations j of lineage at last found himself com ! pelled to abandon the party of his ! fathers and come over to tue party of i progress. Said John P. Hale in the senate in 1 1855: "All the young men in the coun try are flocking to the new party. We have the coming generation with us. The new party meant the republican : party. Seward, Chase, Sumner, Lin coln and all the other pioneers in the formation of the party of freedom | called it tie party of young men, and predicted on that account that it aad the future on its side. As compared with a party like the democracy, which learns nothing and forgets nothing, the republican party was bound to make an irresistible appeal to the youth, the public spirit and the patriotism of the ' country. It had the young man's de votion to high ideals, and also the young man's enthusiasm. Its first de feats only served to make the faith of its members the stronger and to close more firmly the door of compromise | with wrong. The confidence of Lincoln J and his compatriots in the midst of the early reverses was voiced by Whit tier j in his republican war song of 1856, | called out by Fremont's defeat in the . party's first presidential canvass: Then sound again the- bugie, | Call the muster roi; anew, I If months have wi ll nigh won the-tight. What may not four >eurs do? We see by recent events that the republican party still exercises its old spell over the minds and hearts of ; young and public-spirited men. In the election for president last year all the j great, growing progressive north and I west declared for the republican party Ly large majorities. In some coin | munities party lines were almost swept | away. As in the international yacht ! race of half a century the winner was so far to the Iron., that there was | no second. The republican party, in these days of swiftly changing condi i tions and issues, maintains its primacy because it has the intelligence and the virtue to deal with each question promptly as it arises, and to deal with it right. This party has the most in : spiring record of any political organi zation which the country has known, | but it does not rest its claims to pre ferment upon this, it makes a new record every day, and the record ap peals to the mass of the progressive, patriotic people. The number of dem ocrats who have become republicans in recent years, and who will remain republicans, would make a long list, j Here is one of the secrets of its power. ; It draws to its fold the best of the members of the other parties, and ■e ! tains them. In external as in internal ! politics, the country relies on this po { litical organization. la the earth shaking international events which are | occurring these days, and which are in J sight, the American people have un shaken confidence that the republican ' party which is in control of affairs | will shape the country's destinies ; wisely.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1905. EXONERATION OF LOOMIS. Charges of Minister Bo wen Did Not Survive the Light of In vestigation. The complete exoneration of Hon. Francis B. Loomis, assistant secretary of state, from the charges made against hii.ii by Herbert W. Bowen, his succes sor as the American minister to Vene zuela, is no more than had been antici pated by those who were personally ac quainted with Mr. Loomis. Mr. Loomis at the outset met the charges with an emphatic denial and an earnest de mand for a full and impartial investi gation. This was made by Hon. Wil liam il. Taft. secretary of war, and for some time acting as head of the depart ment of state. A more thorough and unprejudiced inquiry could not have been conducted, and after a searching and minute examination of all the cir cumstances Secretary Taft lias reported Mr. Bowen's conduct a.s inexcusable, and Mr. Loomis is wholly exculpated, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times. In this report President Roosevelt promptly and emphatically concurs, and with the impartiality and straight forwardness that are among his nota ble characteristics, he takes action ac cordingly. The entire vindication of Mr. Loomis is accepted, while Mr. Bow en is dismissed from the public ser vice. The president points out that "even if Mr. Loomis had been guilty, Mr. Bowen's conduct would have been unpardonable" in view of the furtive and underhanded manner in which he conducted his attack upon his official superior, and the charges having been proved absolutely false he is summar ily removed from the post he occupies and from the diplomatic service. This is a most stinging rebuke, and the earnestness and vigor with which the president speaks show how deeply ho resents Mr. Bowen's action. The outcome clears the situation and disposes finally of a most unpleasant incident, while the demands of justice are exactly met. The friends of As sistant Secretary Loomis, whose confi dence in his honor and integrity has been unshaken from the first, greatly rejoice at the happy outcome of the matter so far as he is concerned. At the same time the step taken by Presi dent Roosevelt in removing Mr. Bowen from the post of minister to Venezuela is fully warranted. Mr. Bowen ti id ceased to be persona grata at the capi tal to which he was accredited, and as friendly relations between a diplo matist, and the head of the government of the country to which he is assigned are essential to the maintenance,of offi cial intercourse and harmonious feel ing, the only tiling to do was to remove Mr. Bowen from Caracas, lie certain ly hud ceased to be useful there. HAVE ANOTHER SIDE ISSUE Democrats Who Ave Trying- to Ring In Municipal Ownership as a Bait. Dalrymple. the Glasgow man who was sent to Chicago to lock over the ground, in response to Mayor Dunne's request, furnishes the wrong sort of testimony for the mayor, says the bt. Louis Globe-Democrat. As a man who knows something about munici pal ownership at home, Dalrymple was expected to form a correct judgment as to its practicability in Chicago, and in other big towns in this country. "To put street railroads, gas works, tele phone companies, etc., under munici pal ownership would be to create a po litical machine in every large city that would be impregnable." This is Dal rymple's verdict on municipal owner ship conditions in the United States. The Glasgow expert has said ma;iy absurd things since he has been in this country, but there is 110 doubt that he sizes the municipal ownership situ ation here correctly. He says that when he landed in the United States he was a believer in municipal owner ship for this country, but declares that, after some study of the situation, he is convinced that "private ownership, un der proper conditions, is far better for American cities." Every sane person in this country knew this all along. Thousands of persons in Chicago could have told all this to Mayor Dunne at the outset, and have averted the big expense and the accompanying hu miliation which have been heaped 011 Chicago by this ridiculous Dalrymple. importation. Mayor Dunne says municipal own ership will be putin the democratic platform ol' !!< N. Mr. Bryan and oth er prominent democrats have said the same thing. Perhaps they are right. H their guess is right, however, it will be so much the worse for the demo cratic party. Municipal ownership will lie as bad a blunder for the democrats iu 1908 as silverism was in ISBti. as anti-imperialism was in 1900 and as its silly antics for and against silver and against national expansion were in 1904. All imbecility of some sort is due from the democracy three years hence, and municipal ownership will perhaps serve the purpose as well as anything else. is tariff discrimina tion and must inevitably create a con dition of tariff instability.—American Economist. Platform of Democrats. As it is in Ohio and in Chicago so it is in the country at large. Bryan, Torn Johnson and Dunne vvai.i to make the platform. They are confident that what ever platform they make the candidates will accept. They are chiefly interested in the plalicrm because they believe the party is prep'.red to swallow the rankest kind of socialistic doctrine and that the candidates wul have to do the same or go overboard. It stands there publican party in hand to give the de mocracy a monopoly of that kind oi plat form.—Chicago Chronicle. DEATH CAME IN STORM'S PATH Twenty-four Persons Killed by a Tor nado that Raged Near Nocona, Texas. MANY HOUSES WERE SWEPT AWAY Three Churches and a Court House Were Wrecked—The Total Num ber of People Killed and in jured Will Probably Reach Sixty.

ENDEAVORER3'CONVENTION The International Conclave Begins at Baltimore with a Big Attendance. Baltimore, July (>. —All the incoming railway trains yesterday brought thou sands of delegates and visitors to the international convention of the Chris tian Endeavor society. Every state in the Union, Canada and many for eign countries were represented. Preceding the formal opening of the convention there was held a business meeting of the United Society of Christian Endeavor (corporation) at which officers and trustees for the en suing year were elected. All the old officers were re-elected, as follows: President, Rev. Dr. Francis B. Clark; general secretary, Von Ogden Vogt; treasurer, William Shaw; pub lishing agent, George B. Graff. The formal opening of the twenty second convention took place in the afternoon in Armory hall, with about 8,000 delegates present and nearly all of the 16,000 seats in the vast audi torium occupied. The hall had been ornately decorated for the occasion and the scene presented was one of extraordinary picturesqueness and animation. In the absence of President Francis E. Clark, who is detained at home by illness, Rev. Howard B. Grose, of New York, presided and opened the pro ceedings with brief remarks. Treasurer Shaw read a letter from President Roosevelt expressing regret at being unable to attend the conven tion. WITH NON-UNIONISTS. Tin Plate Mills at Pittsburg and New Kensington, Fa., Are Being Oper ated—Wage Scale Reduced. Pittsburg, July (J. —The American Sheet and Tin Plate Co. was partly successful yesterday in the attempt Lo start its plants here and at New Ken sington and have them operated by non-union workmen. At the Pittsburg works, which contains seven mills and has been a union phwnt ever since it was btiilt, two crews reported for work and made tin plate all day. But one crew reported at the other plant, which has been operated as an open mill for months. The refusal of the men togo to work was caused by a notice that was posted last Friday notifying all work men that they would have to work un der the Demmler scale, which means a reduction of about 10 per cent, from the wages they were receiving. Three Deaths in a Collision.

IN A CHURCH AT PARIS. Remains of Paul Jones Are Delivered to America's Representatives. Paris, July 7. —In (he presence of the highest dignitaries of France, the diplomatic representatives of many foreign governments and civil and naval officials of the United States, the body of Admiral John Paul Jones was yesterday formally returned to the United States government. The ceremony of delivering the body was held in the American church on the Avenue De I/Alma. The in -1 terior of this edifice was beautifully decorated. At the foot of the chancel rested the casket wrapped in an American flag and literally buried in floral emblems. At the right of the altar sat Am bassador McCormick, Senior Special Ambassador Porter, Junior Special Ambassador Loomis, United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Rear Ad miral Sigsbee and other officers of the American squadron. Across the aisle sat Premier Rouvier with other mem bers of his cabinet, practically the en tire diplomatic corps and officers of the army and navy. After brief religious services Gen. Porter advanced alongside the casket and formally delivered the body to Mr. Loomis, as the representative of the United States government, who accepted in the name of the gov ernment and commissioned Admiral Sigsbee to transport it to the United States. As the choir took up "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," the entire assemblage rose and joined in the patriotic hymn. Eight sailrors from the Brooklyn then stepped forward and, raising the cas ket on their shoulders, bore it from the church to the waiting gun car riage. This was draped with the na tional colors and was drawn by six black horses. The cortege was now formed and proceeded to the Espla nade Des Invalides. Arriving -at the Esplanade Des In valides an imposing picture was pre sented. The French government had erected a large pavillion in which to deposit the coffin. The pavillion was richly hung with crimson velvet, with martial emblems and battle axes, en twined flags and a row of brass field pieces along the front. Nearby rose the gilded dome of the tomb of Na poleon. The casket was deposited in the center of the pavillion while the cortege passed, rendering military honors. Later it was borne to the In valides railroad station and placed in a funeral car where, guarded by French and American sailors, it started for Cherbourg last night. ISTHMIAN CANAL WORK. Chairman Shonts Says that a Great Effort Will be Made to Secure Healthful Conditions. Washington. July ". —Life on the isthmus of Panama is to be made healthful, comfortable and enjoyable before the real work of digging the canal is begun, according to an an nouncement of policy made Thursday by Chairman Shonts, of the Panama canal commission. Mr. Shonts said: "Our first duty is to create sound underlying conditions. This is now vastly more important than the mov ing of dirt. The men must have suit able houses in healthy surroundings: they must have wholesome food at reasonable cost; they must have suit able transportation facilities to get to and from their work, and they must have opportunity for recreation. It will be the policy of the commission to provide these essentials as quickly as possible. "In regard to the wages paid and the statements that so many men have left because of reduction in salaries, the fact is that wages instead cf hav ing been reduced have been Increased in every branch of the service on the isthmus during the life of the present commission. It will be the fixed prac tice of the commission to fill the higher positions by the promotion of deserving employes." "FLYER" WAS WRECKED. Thirty People Injured as the Result of an Accident on the Great North ern Railroad. St. Paul, Minn., July 7.—About HO people were injured, one seriously, in the wreck of the Great Northern westbound "flyer" at Springbrook, 21 miles east of Williston, N. D., late Wednesday night. Seven cars were burned by a fire which broke out im mediately after the wreck, presum ably caused by the explosion of a gas tank under the smoking car. The mail car and the special car Joliet, containing Dr. Frank Hillings, of Chi cago, and a party of physicians en route to Portland, Ore., did not leave the rails and were unharmed by the flames. Officials of the road say it was a miracle that numbers were not killed, as the train was running at a high rate of speed when if left the rails. According to their report there was no spreading of the rails, and they are unable to account for the accident. As the cars left the track they par tially up-ended, but did not break in two. Most of those injured suffered from burns, the flames spreading so rap idly that many were scorched before they could be removed from the wreckage. Five Miners Killed. Uniontown, Pa..
