GUARD Jt SCHOOL KOLOU
EVER READY FOR SERVICE
Secretary of War Root Pays Glowing
Tribute to the Cltlien
Soldiery.
The Interstate National Guard As
sociation or the United States at Co
lumbus, Ohio, opened ivlLh 25 States
and Trr-ltorles represented. Ma.lor
General Dick. Ohio National Guard,
presiding, fiorretnry of War Rout
and Assistant Secretary Banger, with
a Btaff of regular army officers, were
present. Secretary Root made an ad
dress before the convention. Speak
ing of the new mllltla law he said:
"Some supposed that Immediately
after the passage of the new "law a
code of decisions would he Issued, de
fining certain pnrts and passages In
the bill. Nothing eonld have been
more unfortunate than such a belief.
The eodo Is very broad; It will have
to be applied tn ninny conditions aris
ing in different communities, some
rich, some poor, and the questions will
have to he handled as they arise, and
with all the leniency possible to meet
such conditions. There are only two
ways of raiding nn army by ccnr.crlp
tlon or by voluntary service. The
National Guard Is the great school of
the volunteers. It is not intended
that the National government shnll
pay tho expenses of maintaining the
guard, hut It is Intended that It Khali
add to tho efllclcncy, the strength and
tho dignity of the guard. A question
now being considered is the minimum
ct tho company, and It Js a serious one.
It should not be fixed so as to kill
tho organization of a company In the
rural districts, where the young men
are not so numerous as In the cities.
The required five days' training is also
to bo considered w hat kind of train
ing end many other things are to bo
determined. Lines should bo laid down
Bo thnt the regulars and the National
Guardsmen will ho drawn closer. After
the united mnmiovres at Ft. Klley Inst
year the officers of both branches loft
thinking a great deal more of each
other. Tho elements of one are need
ed by the other. There will never be
any trouble In raising soldiers; tho
trouble will be In the limit of supply
and transportation and equipment. All
need arrangement and organization.
With tho National government per
forming the qliartertimstor's part of
tho work and thp financial part of
the -work, and the National Guard
looking after the spirit, we can hnve
an army thnt the whole world cannot
contend with. The whole question or
efTlcleney rests upon the oflleers and
men of the regular army and the Na
tional Guard, and It needs but the ap
plication of the new law In sympathy
and kindness and with due considera
tion for others, and we cannot go
astray."

BIG FIGHT IN PROSPECT.
Federal Judge at OmM, Neb., Issues
Sweeping Order Against the
Striking Teamsters,
On petition of a number of com
plainants. Including the principal
transfer and delivery comraules In
volved in the teaniBters' strike, Judge
Mungor of tho redernl court at Omaha,
Neb., granted a temporary restrain
ing order enjoining the officers of
Team Drivers' International union, lo
hI No. 71, J. K. Crews, president;
R. R. Wilcox, treasurer, and Edward
Summer, secretary, with alt members
of the union from doing certain nets
calculated to Interfere with interstate
commerce, and commanding them to
appear In court May 20 to show cause
why a temporary Injunction should
not be granted. The action of the
federal court practically takes the
strike out of the hands of the local
and state authorities, and a violation
of the order. It is believed, will result
In the calling out of federal troops If
necesfnry, to preserve the peace and
enforce the order of the court. Large
crowds of strikers gntbered In differ
ent parts of tho city during the day
Jeering the owners of wagons who
themselves were driving tennis, but
no violence was reported. In tho pe
tition, tlie complainants recite the
terms of the contract the Team Driv
ers' union asked them to r.lgn, and
their particular objection to that clauso
herein, which provided thnt "no team
ster shall he dlselinrned, laid oft or
docked In his tlnio or pay for refus
ing to hnul goods to or from any
house for a firm declared to bo 'unfair'
by the labor unions." nnd relnte In
stances In which by throats. Intimida
tion nnd violence the strikers have In
terfered with their business. It Is
alleged thnt Interstate commerce was
Interfered with when the strikers
storped goods In transit from Omnha
to Council muffs, nnd from chip freinht
depot to another in Omaha. More than
:in0 of the Trcnni:-Hrs' union nre
named In the court's order, which re
strains the men "from In any manner
posting In or about the places of busi
ness pickets Instructed or directed to
challenge, stop, threaten or Intimidate
nny of the employes, or nil or any of
tliem, from proceeding with their
work and service ns such employes,
nnd from In nny manner Interfering
with nny of the employes." Governor
Mackey notified the employee of Oma
ha, who had signed nn appeal to the
ctnte for protection, that he could not
cnll nut the troops until the Omaha
city and Douglas county governments
should notify him thnt they were un
able to cope with tho situation.

wolcomed to California before a crowd
of 10,000 peojle. In front of the Ho
tel Catalonia at Redlnnds was packed
a mass of humanity thnt stretched for
two blocks cast nnd weBt. The en
thusiasm displayed must have remind
ed the gucBt, in whoso honor the dem
onstration had been planned, thnt Cali
fornia's hospitality really was what he
cared It to be. Carriages took the
President to the Casaloma Hotel while
thousands gathered In the streets, n
the corner opposite the balcony from
which the President spoke, 1,G0 Bchool
children were seated on a grandstand.
They snng the national airs. President

Pardee and Lieutenant-Governor An
derson. Mayor Fowler Introduced
Governor Pardee, who In a brief ad
dress welcomed the President to Cali
fornia. Assemblyman O. T. Johnson
then delivered an address of welcome
In behalf of the State legislature. The
great throng cheered Itself hoarse
when the President arofla to deliver
his address. It was several minutes
berore he could proceed. He said In
pnrt: "Of nil who are here to greet
nie. I prise most the presence of these
men who fought In tho great war (turn
ing toward the Grand Army Veterans).
Two years ngo you welcomed here
your romrnd'i and my chief, the lnte
President McKlnley. Je did his part
in war as In peace, and If It had not
l::'en for tho efforts that you and ho
put forth, we would have had neither
en American country nor nn American
President today. In war it Is neecs
rary to hnve nrma and accoutrements,
l.ilt the fundamental necessity Is to
hnve men. You fought for liberty un
der the law, not ll-'enrt1. You fcU!,-ht
for the freedom that makes every man
tree. Next, I greet the future. The
sight of these children convinces nio
of tho truth of n statement Just made
to me by Governor Pnnloe, when he
nald that In California there Is no
clanger of rnce suicide. You havo
clone well In raising oranges, and 1
believe you havo done better raising
children. Children, I have Just ono
word for you, and It will apply to tho
older people n3 well. It is tills; When
you play, play hard, and when you
work, don't piny at all. That's com
mon sense for nil of you." The party
left Redlnnds for Snn Bcrnnrdlno,
whore a short stop was made. A night
was spent at Ulvere.'.de. The Presi
dent sloped a few minutes at Victor,
Cal. Ho extended a word of greeting
to the people assembled In the sta
tion and then boarded the engine on
which he made the run through the
canyon pass.

while she was an attendant at the asy
lum. She was employed there during

attendant of the ward In which she
worked was Mlsa Houston, who left
the Institution to be married. It was
by the orders of Miss Houston, accord
ing to Miss Knox, that the "water
cure" was administered. "When a pa
tient refused to obey the orders given
by Miss Houston." said Miss Knox,
"the attendants were ordered by Miss
Houston, to throw a sheet over the

ago the highest point of rercnt years

earnings In April were 13.4 per cent,
larger than In last year, and 23.7 per
cent, above 1901. Cancellation of or

made according to contract and wv
business at lower quotations Indicate
a tendency toward more normal con

A pretty story Is told of the way In
which Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he
was consul nt Liverpool, tested a Yan
kee boy, Tho boy had gone to the
consul's office to beg for a passage
back to his homo. ITo had gone abroad,
to seek his fortune, and, not finding it,
hod become almost pennlleys.
He told a clear story, but the clerk
who heard It doubted Its truth. ,
"You're not an American," he said
to the boy; but the applicant for a
passage to America persisted In wait
lng at the office until he saw Haw
thorne himself.
At last the consul appeared, gave
quick glance at the boy and began to
question him.
"You want a passage to America,?
he asked.
"Yes, sir," said tho boy, eagerly.
"And you ay you're an American?'
"Yes, sir."
"In what part of America were you
born?"
. "The United 8tatea, sir."
"What state?"
"New Hampshire, air."
"What town?"
"Exeter, sir."
Hawthorne waited moment, and
then bent toward the boy.
"Wno sold the best apples in your
town?" be aaked.
The boy's eye shone, and the home
sick longing In them deepened.
"Sklm-mllk Folsom, sir!" he cried.
"It's all right," said Hawthorne to
Ms clerk. "Give him his passage."
And he shook the boy's hand and bade
him Godspeed on his homeward way
with much heartiness. Youth'
Companion.
