The unique reception given the brare eiqulrea on-the first evening upon whlcti th order of knighthood wa conferred had been smoothed down bjr uaage and the peo ple having talking parts were more fa miliar with' their Ilnea, Bo that the even- in'e ceremonlca were almost perfect.

Bartlett, than whom no one more fully appreciates the advantage of the order to the city cor can enter more fully Into the ceremonies accompany ing the enrollment Of members. la at Beginning. Mr. Bartlett was at the. birth of the or der and waa one of the. members of the committee which 'purchased from New Or . leans the floats whlofa .'appeared on the In itial pageant of the' knights In the fall of 3895. The talk of the former members of the board of governors waa replete with memories of former years and advice for those to come. The audience was so well pleased with his speech that It would not oermtt him to end K when he first desired to quit, but made him respond to an en core. After the enrollment of members and the address the nsual games were played. n muwo autn me pegmuers appear 10 .1 j. . .

B Redfleld, all of whom were among the men who first passed the veils last night In the grand sweepstakes, however, the more mature Judgment of older men prevailed and the circulating medium, or, as It Is technically termed within the borders of the land of the mysterious, "the dough," was corralled principally by David Talbott, while John Steel was a - close second In the finals. The wandering knights from other lands who were refreshed at the shrine of the local king were O. K. Dixon, J. I Downs, J. Robins and F. 8. James, a party of Il linois Central railroad officials from Fort Dodge; William J. Shea and E. M. Kidder of Chicago, and O. W. Wilson of Fort At kinson, Wis. ' Date for Editors.

MABIE ON AMERICAN IDEALS Hear! of the People Is Yet Vapor rap ted by Comsaerelallsai of the Age. H. W. Mable lectured to large audience In Boyd's theater Monday night on the sub ject, "Ideals of American Life," which closed the teachers' course of lectures for the season. He said In part: "The glory of this country lies la .its passion for the open door. In which Amer ica Is the greatest symbol. So long aa this passion obtains It will be the nation of sympathy and of Justice." Referring to American literature he said: "It hasn't tbe force, the mass and the variety which characterises the letters of the Old World, but It Is saturated with Idealism. Open almost any typical Amer ican work knd this note Is struck almost at once belief In Ood, faith in man and his ability to advance, love for the borne, piety and respect for woman. "As to American art. It Is stamped throughout with refinement. In it we find perfect purity, freshness and Ideality and a certain distinctiveness of - workmanship which is unmistakably American. It Is cus tomary to Identify idealism with art, but there is also an idealism .of life. Idealism is working throughout all the stratas of our society. It, is impossible for a culti vated man or woman to ltve In a community without elevating the general tone of that community, and I believe that this influence Is so broad and general that it applies even to things Inanimate. . . "America has tbe reputation of being a nation of moneymakers, but this Is a super ficial appraisement of the nation as a whole. There may be a vast amount of money-making, but tbe heart of the country la still uncorrupted." CREDIT THE SCHEME OF HOLT English Paper Thlaka Yankee Mag nate Is Behind Offer for Chines Company, LONDON, May 13. It is understood that Alfred Holt of Liverpool made the offer for the China Mutual Steam Navigation company's business and that it la his in tentlon to purchase the vessels outright, as the circular expressly state that the pre mier, employes and agents will not be taken over, but will be compensated for. The offer ia not regarded as generous, as moat of the veesels are nearly new, the company having sold Its old steamere ad vantageuosly to the Chinese government during tbe war with Japan and built new ones. The Dally Chronicle In its financial ar ticle this morning ssys it believes "Mr. Hill Is the buyer." The Dally Telegraph this morning prints a long' Interview with, W. J. Plrrle, head of Harland & Wolff, shipbuilders. In. the course of which Mr. Plrrle," referring to the, rumor that he negotiated the deal for tbe transfer of. the White; Star line be cause that line was a large debtor to Har land tb Wolff, denied that the White Star company owed his firm a penny. As to tbe agreement to work exclusively for the combine, that, he said, was no new thing. ' It had always been the policy of Harland & Wolff to refuae to work for com peting lines. Mr. Plrrle strongly repudiated the Idea that Mr. Morgan was animated by hostility against Great Britain. He said the people seem to fall to see that, having acquired an interest in so large a fleet of British vessels, it would be suicidal on the part of Mr. Morgan to encourage a policy of subsidising American-built ships. The com bine, he ssld, wss registered under Ameri can laws becauae under the English law it would be Impossible to give a bonus. Mr. Plrrle generally defended the com bine, and on the cruiser queatlon said that Harland & Wolff were quite ready to enter a guarantee that all mercantile cruisers they built would be held at the disposal of the government for tbe decade of their contract with tbe combine. . BAND TRIES TO DROWN SPEECH Actors Finally faceted In Getting Tkelr Protest Before th Andlence. LONDON. May 18. There waa a theatri cal sensation at the Royal Opera bouse, Leicester, on Baturday, where the Kendalls the previous evening produced a new play with much auccess. At the end of the per formance Saturday there ' were repeated calls for Mrs. Kendall, and as she stepped to the front, prepared to speak, the curtain was dropped and ths orchestra played. The Kendalls and their company then filed out before the curtain and stood for fully fif teen minutes trying to get a hearing, while the band continued playing. The audience cheered the actors and threw oranges and biscuits at the band. The lights were then put out, but the audience refused to lesve the building until Mrs. Kendall apoke In the darkness, protesting against the dressing room accommodation of the theater. It seem that at a batar which Mre. Kendall opened in the afternoon shs made similar references, at which the management of the theater waa offended. ' . Moraaa Blip Into Berlin.', BERLIN, May It 3.

And even after all these hours of hard menal Labor, outside of a mass of matter of minor Importance, little waa done. The ordinance providing for the issuing of bonds to defray the expense of the li brary building was rut . upon its third reading and Anally passed and the city clerk wss Instructed to advertise for bids for the sale of the same. The Kernegan remonstrance was up for a hearing and after a mass of conflicting evidence had been heard, the council took a brief recess and finally returned Its verdict that the remonstriiticv was not well founded and that the license should issue. Tbe Al bright people who were pushing the re monstrance immediately filed a written no tice of appeal. The bond of City Treaaurer Howe was approved. Judges and clerks of election of the Fifth ward, who had filed a bill for $10 each, met with but little solace, as tbe council concluded to give them not a cent. The licence committee added four more liquor license to the seventy granted at the special meeting of the council on last Saturday night, and then read a long list of people who were licensed for almost every known occupation.

City Treasurer Howe filed a statement, showing th condition of the finance of tb city during the laat month. A number of motion for sidewalks and crosswalks were read and a whole lot more were In prospect when Adklns rose to ex plain that not accent remained In the fund for this purpose. This oratorical .feat had tbe effect of shutting off any further ad vances to be made along 'this line. A. M. Gallagher, representing the com bined Ancient Order of United Workmen lodges of the city, asked tbe council to re mit tbe license fee of a circus to be here next week, inasmuch as it wss tor the benefit of the lodge that the entertainment was coming.

The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and astring. ent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco and cigarettes or any external or local application Isjust as unreasonable and senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes almost immediately fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors, which should pass off tlmmgli the akin, are thrown, back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflam mation and excessive flow Of mum mtirh nf which ia absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other parts of the body.

ANSWERS BOARD MEMBER'S CRITICISMS Insists that Flgares Contained In th Report Were finbstantlally Cor rect, Despite chool Board Denials. The Woman's club held It regular meet ing Monday afternoon and the discussion of the report recently msde relating to the expenses of the Board of Education for the current year was continued by Mrs. C. C. Belden, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. McGllton. It will be recalled that In Tbe Bee of Sat urday last members of the board undertook to point out that errors had been made In the Woman's club report. Mrs. Belden's statement. In answer, is as follows: A member of the Board of Education says In Saturday Evening's Hee that the committee of the Woman s club has fallen into errors and he attempts some explana tions to show that the figures given in the report are wrong. Either this member Is not at all careful to state the facts In his Inter view, or, what appears more likely, he Is attempting to explain something which he himself does not understand. He says: "The women have fallen Into the error of calculating the expenses upon the calendar year." This sounds queer from a member of the board, who knows, or should know, that the board Itself msde the figures used in the report calculating expenses by calendar years. The member should know, too, that for the calendar year 1901 estimate was made to the city council at the beginning of the year, funds needed and a report was made at the end of amounts which had been expended; also that for the year ISWB estimate was made of the amount proposed to spend during that calendar year, and & demand waa made upon the city council for funds to that amount. The member says: ."They have also es timated the school year at forty weeks, w hen we only hold thirty-eight weeks, and have never held more than that In the grades ulnce 1895." If the member would Inform himself he would find, as the com mittee of the Woman's club found, that during tbe year 19ol the schools were In sesxlon forty weeks. It is proposed that In 1902 they shall be in session only thirty eight weeks. He says further: "As a result of these false premises they have made the total expenditures of the present board at least 60,0iln excess of what they will be." The member should not thus discredit himself and his fellow members. The statement of what expedtturea for roe year 1902 will be waa taken bodily from the estimate of the board Itself showing what funds would be needed for tbe various purposes and what the board proposed to xrnd. If there are any "false premises" the esti mate made by the hoard, the estimate on the strength of which the board demanded from the city council a certain sum of money for the schools, that estimate con stitutes the "false premlws." He says that the payroll Is about 140,000 a month and two weeks less of school would save half that amount, about $20, Ouo. If the member were familiar with school affairs he would know that almost the only saving in shortening the school year two weeks Is the saving In the teach ers' wages. The teachers' payroll is about $;t0,000 a month, so that the saving by cut ting off two weeks of school is only about tlo.000. Janitors' pay Is not a great deal less in vacation than In term time; repairs cost the same, fuel the same, textbooks, aupplles. Interest, improvements all cost about the same whether thlrtv-slx, thirty eight or forty weeks of school constitute the year. He says: "We have placed $20,000 In the sinking fund for the first time In several years." The facts are that in 1S98 the board i seed In the sinking fund $18,000; In 1900, $20,1100; In 1901, $27,566. The sinking fund was on'y considered and noted, and due allowance made for It In the report of the Woman's club committee. The pres ent board will not. In 1902, i ut $20,000 Into this fund "for the first time In several years." The "other item of the kind" on which he talks vaguely of saving $10,000 hardly require discussion. He specifies nothing. OneVurlous statement he makes in clos ing. . He speaks of T.,000 which Is -to be "saved" Upon the new High school. The board is now grading, laying walks, etc., there, so that evidently thla $5,00 Is to he expended, not "saved." No item of addi tional expenxe amounting to $5,000 for the new High school appears in the estimate of expenses made by the board last Jan uary, so that very likely this $5,000 Is to be expended In addition to the amounts asked for in that estimate. The report of the Woman' club commit tee was made after much Investigation, and while It may possibly contain some small errors (It would be difficult to avoid errora entirely among so many Items) no such errors have ao far been pointed out, and the report was not made aa the result of either misapprehension or misinforma tion. The proposed changes In the constitution will not be made until the next meeting on May 26. Mrs. Burney read a report on "Natural Science," prepared by Mr. Pearse. It waa decided that at the coming annual meeting member will each be permitted to bring two guests. The meeting concluded with a program of entertainment consisting of a harp solo by Miss 8wanaon, piano solo by Mis Free, two vocal number by Mrs. Ely and reading by Mr. 3. H. Dumont, Mr. Comegys and Mr. Shield. MESSENGERS FROM THE NORTH Rev. Dr. Ifnntlnaton nnd Lieutenant Governor Bate of Boston Ad dress Dallas Meeting. DALLAS, May 13. Monday wa the day et aside for fasting and prayer by tbe members of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, and the conference, after being in esslon two hour In the morning, adjourned until 8 o'clock at night, when the fraternal delegate of the Methodist Episcopal church, D. W. C. Huntington, D. D., of Lincoln, Neb., and Lieutenant Governor Bates of Boston, presented tbe address from the northern church. While neither of the messengers of the northern church In direct language advo cated a reunion of tbe two churches, still their sentences and sentiment suggested the hope of an ultimate result. From a statement issued by one of the prominent bishop of the church late to night it appear that the letter of Senators Bacon and Clay to Bishop Candler did not hold that tbe war claim money should be returned, owing to the manner In which It wa secured from congress, but that the letter held that the money should not be returned to the government, as the claim was a Just claim and should have been paid, and tbe church waa not to b censured.
