For First Time Delegates From All Nations Will Talk on the Question at International Peace Congress. Germ of the Idea In Other Bodies. Political organization of the world as a pertinent and practical topic for present times will bo the principal sub ject of discussion at the meeting of the international peace congress at Stockholm, Aug. 20 to Sept. 5. This determination was reached at a ses sion of the Berne bureau in Boston, the official body having in charge the arrangements for the congress. The Toto of the bureau was upon this point: "Further, it is concluded that at fu ture congresses only one great ques rtlon shall be placed in the foreground IFor this year It Is the question of in ternational organization." Edwin D. Mead, one of the four American members of the Berne bu- Teau—the others are Samuel T. Dut ton of New York, Dr. Benjamin F. Trueblood of Boston, secretary of the 'American Peace society, and Mrs Belva A. Loekwood—says that the pre cise meaning of "International organ ization" is political organization of the world as a single body, just the same ■as the subject of resolutions adopted in 1903 by the Massachusetts legisla ture. This Idea has been also In the 'minds of some, at least, of the Mo &»nk delegates who have repeatedly In the Mohonk platform Indorsed the proposition of an International legis lative body and have even indicated tThe Hague conferences as the germ out •of which the true world legislature ■would probably be developed. At the 'meeting of the Berne bureau at which the above vote was adopted were ®omo twenty members, including Eng •llshmen, Frenchmen and Germans. One of them was Senator La Fontaine of Belgium, a leader in the movemeut for universal peace. First DiEcussion of Question. This will be the tirst time that a body of representatives of many na tions, even though unofficial, has ever discussed such a subject. Some writ ers have seen a resemblance between this discussion and that at the great peace congresses of IN4S. IS4U and 1830 at Brussels. Purls and Frankfort re spectively, where Elihu Burritt urged ' this plan for a congress of nations and establishment of a high court of jus tice. Mr. Burritt even used the ex pression "an international legislature," but his plan was as Mr. Mead said In the Old South Leaflet, No. 146, contain ing Burrltt's addresses at these places, "finally realized at The Hague." What Burritt and his fellow workers ihad In mind was a single gathering of delegates, like that of The Hague in 1809, to formulate a code of Interna tional law or method of procedure for all nations by the authority of all na tions for settlement of differences be tween tbem. This was realized at The Hague by the holdlug of the confer ence and establishment of The Hague court of arbitration. Mr. Burritt was explicit in saying that his plan did not propose any such organization as ex ists In the union of states in the Unit ed States. Bnrritt's effort was to se <ure the peace of the world. No Idea of a World Federation. The Stockholm discussion, therefore, must be regarded as the first formal ! public discussion In a large way ol political unity of all nations as a slnglt I organism. But this discussion Uas nothing of a world federation idea ir | It. Bather there is believed to be in ! progress a natural, inevitable develop- I inent of the unity of the human raee I (existing in the very fact of the races being upon the earth) Into a formal | political union. There are already j plenty of Instances to Illustrate world legislation, more or less partial and j Incomplete, but still an expression ot j the will of nations. The conventions j of the universal postal union and botii j of the peace conferences at The Hague are conspicuous illustrations. Still further, the second conference nt The Hague, in 1907, proposed the Kerro of the world judicial department In the convention for an International \ prize court. The recent international j naval conference in London, beginniim j last December, in which ten nations | took part, including the United States. ■ proposed the formation of a practical code. There is good authority for ta k - ; ling this view of the probable develop- : iment from this creation of the second Hague conference. Germ In Executive Departments. As to the executive department of i the world. It Is already revealed in 1 several minor executive offices con- ' nected with international bureaus. The permanent office of the universal postal union has a constant executive 'Staff. There is one connected with the (International body near Paris, having to do with weights and measures, and •one connected with the permanent j ■court of arbitration and the Interna tional Institute of Agriculture at 'Rome. These are all true executive offices, however humble their grade: 1 7ience, taking The Hague conference 'as the germ of a world legislature, iwhich can be made out very plausi fbly, it appears that there is already in 'existence the beginning of each of the 'three departments essential to a fully •equipped political body, the legislative, tthe judicial and the executive. These Liberty cannot be established with lout morality nor morality without ®iit U.—G reeley. LOCALS WIN, NIIIIIICOKE LOSES • DANVILLE LEADS SUSQUEHANNA LEAGUE Continued from Ist Page.

If Hannibal Hamlin, onco vice presi- j dent of the United States, had lived till Aug. 27, 1909, he would have been a hundred years old. This circum stance has ever been kept In mind by the people of Oxford county, Me., and particularly of Paris Hill, the scene of his birth, nis centennial will be mark ed by the dedication of a memorial tablet on the centennial anniversary. The citizens have provided an Im mense bowlder which was selected by a committee from others on the land of Hiram Heald, lying south of the village and formerly the Hamlin pas ture lands. Loren B. Merrill, chair man of the committee in charge of the bowlder, had a long hunt for the right kind. It Is six feet square and three feet thick. It required ten draft horses to haul the bowlder to its present posi tion. in front of the old Hamlin man sion, where a foundation had been prepared for it and a terrace put about It. On this rock the memorial tablet will be placed. Miss Julia Frances Carter, daughter of Mrs. Mary B. Carter, will unveil the bowlder. Miss Carter and her sister are the only living descendants of Hannibal llamlin who now own a home at Paris Hill. The speakers will be United States Senator Eugene Hale, ex-Governor ' Long of Massachusetts and Governor Fernalrl of Maine. Ex-Governoj* Long I was invited to deliver an oratWu upon this occasion, but told the committee that he thought it would be much bet- I ter to have a few short speeches than one long one, and they have acted upon bis suggestion. The credit for erecting a memorial to one of Maine's greatest statesmen be longs to the Maine commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. General Joshua L. Chamberlain Is to preside at the exercises. The exercises j will be held in connection with the I first old home week In Maine. This gathering perhaps will be one of the last of men who gained fame in the fight for the freedom of the negro. ... j Household Hint.

Three hundred years ago, Henry Hudson, an Englishman in command of a Dutch expedition, with eighteen men, ex plored the Hudson River from Sandy Hook to Troy in his small craft, the "Half Moon." One hundred and ninety-eight years later. Robert Fulton established, with his steamboat, the "Clermont," a regular water service between New York and the towns along the Hudson river to the North. This year, New York City, with sister cities and towns along the Hudson, will celebrate these two achievements by a series of imposing observances, religious, historical, military, naval, musical and literary, extending from September 2"> to October Replicas of the "Half Moon" and the "Clermont" have been built and will play a large part in the celebration. They will be the center of attraction in the great naval pageant on Saturday, September 2">. The United States Government will have fifty-two war ships anchored in the Hudson, and Great Britain. France, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Argentine, Guatemala, Mexico, and Cuba will be represented by war vessels. Two great parades of water craft will escort the "Half Moon" and the "Clermont" in triumphal procession past the war leviathans, first in the morning and again in the evening, when all the vessels will be illuminated. On September 28 there will be a grand historical pageant, and on September ->0 a big military parade in New \ork City, On October 1, the "Half Moon" and "Clermont" will proceed up the Hudson to Troy escorted by hundreds of river craft, including torpedo boats. A magnificent carnival parade will be held in New York on Saturday evening, October 2, which promises to eclipse all previous attempts. The Pennsylvania Railroad, the direct line to New York, with its unsurpassed service of fast express trains, will sell excursion tickets to New York for this period at reduced rates of fare. Full details concerning specific fares, dates of sale, return limits, and train service may be obtained of Ticket Agents. Continued from Ist Page. NESOOPEGK. R. H. (). A. E.

Also in the three games the opposing teams have been allowed but eight hits. In the last three games Danville lias made 17 hits; one of these was a home run, one a three bagger, 7 were two baggers and the other eight were sing les, a total of thirty-five bases. The crowd at the afternoon game on Labor day was the second largest of the season, there being 1200 paid ad missions and probably 1500 people on the grounds. Sweeney, oil the job as umpire, was all to the good. A number of his de cisions were close, but lie performed the difficult task of giving satisfaction to both'sides. Ross Shipe.Neseopeck's star twirler, certainly marred his beautiful strike out record on Labor day, not being able to fan more than ti of the locals in each game. Mackert came near to getting a pre sent nf a ton of Ameslmry's coal when 1 lis home run'cleared tin- left field fence just a few feet from the sign. When thejiiews ofJDanville's second victory and the elevation of this town's club to the top of the league was received at Nantieoke Monday afternoon, several hundred Alden fans who were gathered around the score board awaiting the news, throw up their hats and shouted for joy. A Danville fan walked into a popular soda water dispensary yesterday and asked the clerk for a "Nantieoke." "What kind is that?" asked the one behind the counter. "Lemon," of course," replied the witty one. If things break Danville's way from now on the locals will have the plea sure of seeing a pennant on the ball grounds flag jxile. The Only Difficulty.

COVELESKIE IN FINE FEITLE Those who gambled with || the Weather Man Saturday §! afternoon and went to sec jfi/Vtf tlm Danville and Allien 'w! Snsqnehanna league artists All do a struggle were reward | 1 ed for their hardihood by P, /V' being treated to a really I " |T__ good and exciting little mSfr battle. The principal feature of the game was Frank Coveleskie. He had the Aldenites completely at his mercy, bowling them over like a lot of tin soldiers. During the game but three extra men faced him. In one innings lie retired the side on strikes and in I four innings he retired two of the three on strikes. In all "Pinkie" registered 18 strike outs, no passes and allowed but one hit. In addition he helped the i scoring in the first and sixtli innings ! in the latter scoring Umlauf on a neat \ squeeze sacrifice 011 which he himself | reached first. : Umlauf led the batters with a line i drive which was too hot for Second Baseman Bergen to handle and a beautiful scorcher between left and center which was good for an extra j base. The locals did not have an easv time with Mayock by any means, the AMen twirler keeping the hits fairly well scattered and administering strike I outs at critical moments. | The game was replete with fine in- I dividual work 011 both sides that sev ! eral times readied the spectacular. ! The single play that won the laurels of th>" day was Center Fielder Hig gins' bold daylight robbery performed on Coveleksie's drive into deep centre. The Aldenite picked the sizzler out of the atmosphere with his bare hand re tiring the side in the eighth with I'm -1 lauf on second ready to score. Hig- Kins was roundly applauded and coui- I pelled to doff his skvpiece for the ad miring fans. Lucky "Huzzy" Ani -1 merman also pulled down a straight i away drive from the bat of Phillips, j which came pretty near getting away I from the little right fielder before he j got the strangle hold <lll it. 111 the | sixth First Baseman Stock retired three I Alden batsmen unassisted. GETTING THE RUNS. Danville won the game in the first innings 011 a single tally. Hess, first up, gut in the way of one of Mayock's wide balls and took his base, circling t" third 011 Umlaut's sacrifice. He crossed tin* pan on Brislin's passed ball. Alden retired the side without further damage. In the sixth Umlauf opened with a single into right ami stole second. Livelihood sacrificed him to third. Covelesike bunted. Alden played fur Umlauf but the little short stop was home like a streak, safe, and "Pink ie," in the meantime,reached first sta tion. Again Danville had to be sat isfied with one tally for a minute lat er. Metzler, running for Coveleskie, was caught off first and Mackert went down on a grounder to short. The score: DANVILLE. K. H.

The truth is that throughout nil the wonder workings of the beehive the queen is little more than an instru ment, a kind of an automaton, merely doing what the workers compel her to do. They are the real queens in the hive, and the mother bee is the real subject. The workers have made her for their own wise purpose, just as they make the comb and the honey to store in it. The egg she is hatched from is in no way different from any worker egg. If you take one from a queen cell and put it in the ordinary cell it will hatch out a common female worker bee, and an egg transferred from worker comb to a queen cell becomes a full grown queen. Thousands and thousands of worker csgs are laid in a hive during the season, and each of thoso could he made into a queen If the workers chose. But the worker egg is laid in a small cell, and the larva is bred on a bare minimum of food at the least possible cost in time, trouble and space to the hive, while when a new queen is wanted a cell as big as your finger tip is built, and the larva is stuffed like a prize pig through all its five days of embryo life until, with unlimited food and time and room to grow in, it comes out at last a perfect mother bee.—Van Norden's Magazine.
