VALUE OF IMAGINATION.
IJfe naturally must be more Inter
acting to the person of vivid Imagina
tion than to one who Uvea only for
the tangible things about him and
who fears to dream as his fancy will
liecause reality bears heavily upon
Ifiha We do not think that even the
rami of affairs would find the lndul
truce of a few day dreams detrimental
to his Intcrebts, while to those who
jouk only upon the serious side of life
and share only Its darker aspects, a
few dreams of what perhnps may come
lo pais -would act as a tonic upon tired
'nerves, says the Charleston News and
Courier. Our dreams are often com
actons to us, and sometimes we find
ourselves moving unconsciously with
Ihcm in a world far removed from our
t1 habitation, but one whose prom
ises seem easy of fulfillment and
ft-hose delights compensate for some
al the hardships we may, perhaps, be
called upon to bear during our waking
hour. The world which Is our Idea
wf happiness, with all Its wonder of
cotimpllhhuient and all Us measure of
appreciation the world In which we
naturally play an important part who
kaa not seen its shining sands, and
lofty summits, and flowering paths,
beckoning,, telling us how good it Is
to live and defying us to resist Its
appealing call? We cannot all gain
Its shores and discover long-hidden
secrets, but, at least, we can turn Its
p remises to our advantage and make
rar day dreams oases, as It were, in
the desert spots of life.

PUT OVERBOARD
The Latest Dreadnought in Her
Element.
VESSEL 550 FEET LONG.
Fighting Ship Christened by M.ss
Knight in the Presencs of
Many Guests From
Wyoming.
Philadelphia. In the presence of
the Governor and a delegation of
visitors from the State for which it
was named, Miss Dorothy Eunice
Knight, daughter of former Chief
Justice Jesse Knight, of Wyoming,
christened the battleship Wyoming,
the nation's latest Dreadnought,
when the warship was launched at
the yards of the Cramp Ship und
Engine Company in this city.
Governor J. M. Carey, of Wyoming,
several officials of the State, together
with Secretary Meyer of the Navy
Department and other naval officials,
were among tlione on the launching
stand when the big battleship slid
Into the Delaware river.
When the Wyoming gets In full
armament she will not be surpassed
by any fighting ship In the world.
The length over all is E50 feet,
breadth at the water line 93 feet ana
displacement 26,000 tons. The big
battleship will have a speed of 20 Ms
knots an hour. The coal capacity
will be 2,500 tons, and the ship will
carry oil burners In case of emer
gency. The Wyoming's armament will
consist of 12 12-Inch guns, 21 5-
Inch guns, four 3-poundeis, saluting
gunB, two 1-pounder semi-automatic
guns, two 3-Inch field pieces, two 30-
callber machine guns and two sub
merged torpedo tubes.
The battleship is a little more than
one-third completed. It will carry
64 officers and 1,030 enlisted men.
The Wyoming Is one of six first-
class battleships under construction
at different yards. When the whole
number Is completed another fleet
will be added to the navy which will
be stronger In fighting strength than
the entire American Navy at the end
of the Spanish-American War.

"It is our sincerest desire that

confident hope that the treaty will
prepare the wny for wider and more

Senor de la Barra took the oath of
office at noon Friday In the Yellow

than the resignation was the assump

nied the applications for the pardon
of Charles W. Morse, of New York,
and John R. Walsh, of Chicago, the
two most prominent bankers ever
convicted and sent to federal penl
tentinrles under the national bank
ing laws. Not only did the Presi
dent refuse to pardon either .Morse
or Walsh, but he also declined at
this time to exerclso any otiier sort
of executive clemency in these cam.'B,
or to shorten the sentences Imposed
upon the two men by the courts In
which they were convicted.
In denying the pardons the Presi
dent took a firm stand that the nat
ional banking laws or any other laws
must be upheld when they affect the
rich man even more than when they
affect the poor. The record In the
Walsh case, the President said in a
long opinion, "shows moral turpi
tude of that Insidious and danger
ous kind, to punish which the nat
ional banking laws were esiec!ally
enacted."
In considering the case of Morse
the President said that, "from a con
sideration of the facts In each case
I have no doubt that Morse should
have received a heavier sentence than
Walsh. Indeed the methods taken
by Morse tend to show ' that more
keenly than Walsh, did he realize
the evil of what ho was doing."
In his opinion In the Walsh case
the President protested against the
failure to discriminate between
legitimate business and Improper
gain.

"The division of International law
will be under the direction of Prof.

the most distinguished international
lawyers In the worid.
"The second division of the work
will bo under the direction of Prof.
John Bates Clark, of Columbia Uni

"It wll! be the business of this
division to study the economic causes

the public opinion of nations and
upon the international good-will, of
retaliatory, discriminatory and pref

of the present huge expenditures for
military purposes, and the relation

Bearing a M l tary Guard.
Mexico City. Porflrio Diaz, for
whom during 30 years all Mexico
stood to one side, Friday, hat in
hand, stole from the capital. Only
a few devoted friends, whom he darod
to trust, followed him to the station
at 2 o'clock A. M., shortly after the
celebration over his resignation bad
quieted down.
Diaz was bound for Vera Cruz to
lake ship for Spain. In the distance
he could hear the voices of a few of
the more enthusiastic citizens who
wore still acclaiming the new Presi
dent, Frnnclsco Leon de la Barra,
and shouting "Viva Madero."
So carefully w-ere the arrange
ments made for tne atMiiraica rresi-
dent's secret escape that the news did
not transpire until late In the day.
Secrecy was duo less to apprehension
of a popular outburst than to a de
sire to reach Vera Cruz before
marauders along tho route could
learn of the trip.
Travel between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz usually is over the Mexi
can Railroad, a standard-gauge line
with modern equipment. Halls along
this route, however, frequently have
been removed of late by bandits, who
were determined thi. Diaz, for rea
sons best known to themselves,
should not leave the capital. They
are reported to have harbored the
Idea that Dia. would follow the pre
cedent of other Latin - American
Presidents and carry the national
funds with him.
MEX CO'S NEW PRESIDENT.
DON FRANCISCO LEON DE LA
BARRA
There Is also a narrow-gauge rail
road to the roast. Taking It for
granted that Diaz would take the
more luxurious route, the bandits did
not molest the narrow-gauge road.
For this reason It was chosen by Diaz
for his trip.
Presumably, De la Barra and the
higher governmental officials have
been Informed of Diaz's movements,
but their lips are scaled on every de
tail. Even Americans high In authority
with the road have neon Impressed
with the necessity for maintaining
silence.
C-pnera! Diaz, still feeble from his
illness and far from being a well
man, left his home under dreary cir
cumstances. Rain had fallen earlier
In the night, and by the time the
former President emerged from his
house the air was chilly. He was
closely muffled. To aid In the dis
guise, a borrowed automobile was
used. The trip to the San Lnzaro
Station was made over unfrequented
streets.
By a prearranged scheme, at the
last moment, police were scattered
along the way. At certain points
