Is it not a ' logical creed',' Devil worship had its beginning it ancient times when the Chaldeans ami rhr- Assyrians formed a belief in per j sonified evil. This grew up into the diabolism of more modern times, when ' some few hold that evil was just as necessary as good to effect ultimate . happiness. So grew up the sect which worship* d Satan, and his messenger, Asiaroth. Devil worship reached its zenith dur ing the reign of ixruis XIV. in France Both Mine, de Maintenon and Mmc. tie Montespan, who held high place at the i court of that profligate monarch, have l been described as devout Satanists. Devil worship then was carried to in describable hounds, and in her later 1 years even Mine, de Montespan re pented and entered a convent to expl ate her sins. But her expiation did not break up the sect. It was con tinued in Paris, ihough in milder form, and there today if has its followers, just as it has now in New York.— New York World. MINGLED BLOOD IN AMERICA ©riy One Teoth cf the Inhabitants of th* Country Are of Unmixed Place nt. The population of the Untied Slate n-ay be rtasaihed this: Natives un • »»r<l d-necat. 1-1*; negroes l !*; na tive* of foreign parentage. i«#; na tl*e* of Bxtu rallied parentage 6-10 nlten*. 1-M. The original American stock was English, with a smattering of Scotch and Irish, more of Dutch and a 11.tie E« each and Scandinavian The propor ttoa of any of these strains In lbe AeerVas of today in unbroken des cent from before the war of the Revo Idbs will determine his approxima tion «• a purely blood standard of American nativity. The' preponder ance of population is of whites having one ar more of these strains in their Mood, the majority of vuch being abb to trace descent by one and the other to origins' settlers Since UO* over -*.#«»», aliens b»v- immigrated to this country, the •* f " ' ' t-f of wgora •ever returned to their native land. But the inter mixture at immigrants with natives and tie ir descendants was negligible ns a factor in census figures until aft er the war of the Rebellion. T ntil that time ib*- population was counted as natives, colored and foreign born. In ib** ninth census 11870) the class! ♦i. atfon of native whites gave place to native whites of native parentage and included the descendants of all white persons born in the Ignited States indiscriminately. Of the 26.000.000 aliens who have migrated to this country one-fourth came prior to the war of 1861-63. And of th*- 21.000.000 who have landed since that period over one-half arrived | during the last fifteen years. Up then to 1803 the major part of the immi gration was from the British Isles, Ireland principally. Germany and Scandinavia, with a small but steady j stream from France and Switzerland and scattering groups from most other ; European countries. Since that year the arrivals from hose countries excepting Scandinavia have greatly decreased and the bulk ■ of immigration has been from Italy, Austria-Hungary and Russia, and chiefly from the least advanced por tions of those domains—the Russian Jew. the southern Italian. Lithuanian, Magyar. Pole and Slovak, with many Creeks and Japanese and even Mexi cans. -- Pope's Cook to Retire. Stephano Inchiestro, who has been ! pope's cook for 30 years, is about | to retire. “I am not a great cook." j [ he said, “for my master never al- i : lowed me to make fancy dishes. He 1 is satisfied with the plainest of food. ; and eats less than ever now. When : after his election to the Papacy, he j sent me my certificate as chef of the ' Vatican kitchen. I thought that a new j era had begun, but His Holiness lives even more simply in Rome than he did in Venice. Coffee and rolls is all he will take in the morning. At 12 : o'clock I serve breakfast: Soup. | boiled meat, and stewed fruits. Din * ner consists of meat and vegetables. ! In winter the pope eats a good deal of soup, made of dried vegetables. He has no favorite dishes, save he asks for polentins. a natural dish, which he wants without the slightest variation.” CAREER OF ONE KENTUCKIAN From the forests and the mountains of Ken tucky to the position of secretary of stale at Frankfort; from the state capitol to a grated cell; front the grated cell to the very shadow of the gallows; from the shadow of the gallows again to the grated cell; from the grated eel! back to the forests and the mountains of Kentucky; from the forests and mountains to the halls of congress at Washington. This in brief is the history of Caleb Powers. He has been chosen as the Rt pubPcan candidate for congress from his district, which is strongly Republican, Seldom does a human life conta.a so much of struggle ter advancement from humble begin nings. so much 01 tragedy and of pathos and so remarkable a rehabilitation in public honor, Ca J leb Powers will be a remarkabie fi^rnr. in Wash ington. because of the fact that for eight long years he was immured in a prison ceil fighting to escape life imprisonment or execution for a crime of which half the people of Kentucky belli ve him guiltj and t!:«* other halt believe him absolutely innocent. the minds of newspaper readers will instantly go back to that tragic day in January, 1900. when William Goebel was ruthlessly shot 1-iwn from ambush as ho was walking toward the stale capital at Frankfort Goebel at: 1 W. S .a\ior, the former a Democrat and the latter a Republican, had 'men oppos ’ng candidates for governor and each claimed «-tection. Taylor wa-. given the certificate of election and in possession of the capital an 1 t'.t '» pewc-rs was his secretary of state. As Goebel, whom th legislature r .. i • *. t had declared to be elected, walked across the grounds hading to the a; he was shot from the window of the other of the s*-or *tary of st;*.‘ Th- ur ier created a national sensation and for many years the suite f Kentuckv w..s split into two bitter factions. Following the tragedy there came a succession of trials : the < rs-- * which several men were found guilty of complicity in the murder and at !-ast one Henry E. Youtsev—is now serving a life sentence. Caleb Powers was tried tor murder and was sentenc- I to it: n:r.*-r.i tor life. He appealed, and a second trial resulted in another convicion a;. : a second sentence to life imprisonment. A third trial fallowed, a: th> time he was sentence-1 to be hanaged. On the fourth trial the jury disagreed, the majority being for acquittal. Meantime eight years had rolled around and Powers was still in a rri'-in cell at Georgetown. A petition containing the names of hundr -ds of thou sands of persons both in Kentucky and elsewhere was preset te.i to the c ver nor and in 1908 Governor Willson granted Powers a full pardon. GOTHAM’S QUEEN OF SILENCE ___ Mrs. Isaac L. Ric\ the N* w York societ; w : an who fough: single-handed to sup; res* ' • e sary noise in the metropolis and who acc plished so much through her determination, is known as the Queen of Silence " Mrs Rice has long been a sworn enemy of nois- . Her beau tiful Venetian palace on Riverside drive is so located that, until she began her battle and won out her ears were continually ringing with the shrieks of the switch engines on the railroad tracks that line the river front and with the clamor of boat whistles. Along the East river are located two-thirds of the hospitals of the city and this thoughtful woman realized what extra suffering the sick must endure because of the nerve-racking clamor. She began to gather evi dence to prove her point and with the aid of Co ...iuu.a universal siuuenis. wno lOiiow-M tne noats and kept count, learned that there were about 5.000 unnecessary but deafening shrieks each night in the harbor. The harbor men were pleased to take umbrage at her inter ference and proceeded to make life miserable for her till she secured law on her side. During the night boats passing her home serenaded her with the most horrible whistles and focused their flashlights upon the house. Nothing daunted, the plucky woman secured an order front the secre tary of commerce and labor forbidding unnecessary whistling on the river. The harbor men persisting in their defiance, she had one man arrested, then another, until finally the racket was quieted. This was only the beginning, however. Mrs. Rice had gained the sympathy of all peace-loving citizens and the Society for the Suppression of l nnecessary Noise was organized. City officials were interested and the fight continued against all superfluous racket. Peddlers, drivers, street organs, flat-wheeled cars and noisy youths all came in for a share of attention. Zones of quiet were drawn around hospitals anil at last peace reigned as much as possible in a huge city where a certain amount of noise is unavoidable. The good work has been continued and has spread not only to other cities in this country, but has been taken up in European countries. Mrs. Rice, who has been the principal fighter against the noise nuisance, bearing the brunt of the contest, is th- mother of four charming girls, who are now approaching an age where they have ambitions to reach out and conquer, or accomplish something worth while. Talented young women each has an especial desire to be fulfilled. Muriel already has become known as an author. Her book of poems, published in English, has been translated into foreign languages. Then there is Dorothy, who hopes to become a splen did artist and put all her dreams and thoughts on canvas. Of a more prac tical nature, perhaps, is Marion, whose chief interest lies in mathematics. The fourth in the quartet is the sweet Marjory, who is a humanitarian and animal lover and who will probably follow in her mother's footsteps, striving to do some good for her fellow men. The mother of this charming family calls her girls Molly. Polly. Dolly and Eollv. J. A. TAWNEY OF MiNNESOTA An insurgent victory that has attracted a good j dea! of attention throughout the country was the defeat in the primaries of Representative James A. Tawney, who was a canadidate for renoniina tion in the first congressional district of Minne sota. Tawney is one of the most influential rep resentatives in congress, is chairman of the com mittee 011 appropriations. A most determined tight was waged against his renomination and the insurgents had the support and advice of Roose velt, Pinehot. James J. Heney and other expo nents of progressive Republicanism. In his early days Tawney was a blacksmith and machinist, learning the trades in Pennsylva nia. where he was born in 1855. near the village of Gettysburg. Subsequently he removed to Wi nona. Minn., where he worked four years at his trade, at tlie same time studying law. iu IV»L' ne was admitted to the bar. was later sent to the state senate, and in 1S92 was elected to congress, in i which he has since served. Tawney is a dark, almost swarthy man. with a piercing black eye and a black mustache, uow streaked with gray. When Cannon made him chairman j of the committee on appropriations he did so because of the strength of char- i acter and firmness which Tawney had displayed. Often the speaker referred to him as the "man of iron." a not unfitting title. As chairman of the appro priations committee Tawney was regarded as the watchdog of the treasury, but he was one of the strongest stand patters in the house, and hence the declaration of war upon him by the insurgents. STARTED ‘BEEF TRUST’ QUIZ ! ^- I I Judge Kent-saw Mountain Landis of the Unit- j ed States district court, in Chicago, who started j the latest investigation of the "beef trust.” is the same who imposed the $29,000,000 fine on the Standard Oil company a few years ago. His fa ther served during the civil war in the regiment which was commanded by Judge Waiter Q. Gresh am, secretary of state under Cleveland, and was wounded in the battle of Kenesaw mountain. Hence the peculiar name of Judge Landis. When Gresham was secretary of state Judge Landis, then a young Chicago lawyer, served as his private secretary. Afterward he returned to Chicago to practise his profession and was later elevated to the bench. Of the ten indicted meat packers, charged bj the federal grand jury with violation of the Sher man anti-trust law. seven nave given uuuus in me iuiai sum oi *jiu.uuu tor their appearance for trial when the cases against them are called. The fight thus begun against the meat packers promises to be one ol life or death for the huge corporation, which, it has been charged repeatedly, controls the meat industry in this country. Judge Landis is a young man with an old man's manner. He wears long hair, talks with a drawl and his language is picturesque. WHY NEW ORLEANS CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION.
