CONFERENCE TAKES IIP BRYAN'S IDEA

The Interparliamentary Body Adopts His Proposed Rider to Arbitration Treaty. PEACE BETWEEN NATIONS IT WAS AGREED THAT ON NEXT YEAR'S PROGRAM THE QUESTION OF DISARMAMENT WOULD BE DISCUSSED. fPublishers Press London, July 24. William J. Bryan's ' proposed rider to the model arbitration treaty was discussed at a session of the international council of the , Interparliamentary union and resulted in its being recast as follows: "If a disagreement should arise which is not included in those o be submitted to arbitration, the contracting partieB shall not resort to any act of hostility before they separately or jointly invite, as the case may necessitate, the formation of an international commission of inquiry or mediation of one or more friendly powers, this requisition to take place if necessary in accordance with article VIII of The Hague convention providing for a peaceful settlement of international conflicts." On the resumption of the sessions of the conference of the interparliamentary union, the above was unanimously adopted after speeches by former Austrian Minister of Commerce von Plener and Mr. Bryan, warmly supporting the amended rider. The latter said that his amendment waa aimed at widening the scope of arbitration, so as to include questions of national honor, the chances being x hundred to one that the proposed investigation of facts would also settle any question of national honor. If the hand of war could be stayed till the conscience awakened, wars would become more remote. The amendment I therefore, was a long step In the direction of peace. Baron D'Estournelles de Constant, head of the French delegation, subsequently opened the debate on the limitation of military and naval forces. He declared that if the powers were undecided among themselves how to act for their common Interests, they would be forced to do so, first by bankruptcy and then by revolution. He said that limitation of armaments had no connection with the chimera of disarmament. The arguments against disarmament were based on the augmented expenditure of the powers. A resolution was agreed to In principle, urging that the question of disarmament be placed on the program of the next peace conference at The Hague. Congressman D. L. D. Granger, of Rhode Island, was elected vice president of the American delegation for the coming year nnd Congressman Richard Bartholdt, of Missouri, and T. E. Burton, of Ohio, were elected members of the international council. Building Associations. Cincinnati, O., July 24. The eighteenth annual convention of the Ohio Building association league opened here. Welcome addresses were followed by the annual report of President S. Rufus Jones, of Dayton, who called attention to the growth of building associations throughout the state. Papers were read on "Real Estate" by L. L. Rankin of Columbus, and "The Building Association as a Place to Borrow," by W. H. Evans, jr., of Akron. Claims Bonds Were Removed. Chicago, July 24. Corporation Counsel James Hamilton Lewis, in a letter sent to the board of review, which passes upon the assessments In this city and county, charges that the managers of the estate of the late Marshall Field removed to New York stocks and bonds valued at $2,663,00 for the purpose of removing them from the jurisdiction of the local taxing body.

With Campbell and Brady at Gennett This Week. Vaudeville at the Gennett. All fear that the carnival would prove disastrous to the attendance on the vaudeville at the Gennett this week has been set at rest by the attendance on the opening performance which has been of the most satisfactory nature and the matinees especially being surprisingly large. The bill this week is its own best advertisement and the good things that all who have seen It are saying goes a long way toward spreading the news all over the city. Extended comment on the bill at this time in the week is not necessary and the only way to get a real appreciation of the fifty cents' worth that is being given for ten cents is to go and see it for yourself. No one has as yet called at. the box office to get his money refunded because he was rot satisfied with the turn put on by Hickey ar.d Nelson who are guaranteed to make the most, skeptic laugh. l. Shorthand. The finst known treatise en stenography is a curioes little book called "Arte of Shorte, Swifte:and Secrete Writing by Character."

The chinchilla, so much prized for Its beautiful silken light gray fur, is found only in the Cordillera ranges of the Andes in Bolivia and Chile. It Is a small animal which burrows m the ground and in appearance somewhat resembles a rat. RelUrtona la Chtaa. There are three existing religions in China Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. No ecclesiastical hierachy Is maintained at the public expense, nor is there any priesthood attached to the Confucian religion, although that Is the state religion. The bulk of the people are Buddhists, but many, to be on the safe side, practice all three. I Palladium Want AtiS PaY.

SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY

Continued Until August 1st.

AT THE THEATERS Stock Company at Gennett. After a long run in vaudeville, patrons of the Gennett will next week be given a change, for Manager Swisher has secured the Cutter Stock Company for an all week's engagement and it will present the latest metropolitan productions, introducing between acts high class specialties, among which are the musical Rosar Trio, alone said to be worth the price of admission. Indications are that this will prove one of the best repertoire companies the Gennett has ever had. Popular prices, ten twenty and thirty cents, will rule during the week, with ladies free the opening night. Seats will be out on sale at the Westcott pharmacy. PERT PARAGRAPHS. Some people couldn't keep from taking trouble even if they were vaccinated for it. An emergency is something that the heavy villain carries up his sleeve which, to his surprise, gives the hero a chance to make good. In order to become a great poet the first necessity is to hypnotize a great editor. A fool and his lies are soon run down. 7 V',- - ."

A Wife's Method of Asking For Protection

THE other evening as a muscular person was passing a house a lady who stood at the gate called out to him: "Sir. I appeal to you for protection!" "What's tho matter?" he asked, as be stopped short. "There's a man in the house, and hi wouldn't go out of doors when I or dered him to." "ne wouldn't, eh? We'll see about that." Thereupon the man gave the woman his coat to hold and rushed into the house. He found a man at the supper table and took him by the neck and remarked: "Nice style of a gentteman you are, eh? Come out o' this or I'll break every bone in your body." The man fought, and it was not until a chair had been broken and the tabte upset that he was hauled out by the legs and given a fling through tho gates. "Now, then, you brass faced old tramp, you move on or I'll finish you." "Tramp! Tramp!" shouted the vic tim, as he got up. cwn this property "I'm no tramp! I and live in this house." "You do?" "Yes, and that's my wife holding your coat." "Thunder!" whispered the muscular man, as he gaied from one to the other and realized that it waa the wife's method of finishing a row she had been having with her husband. And then he made a grab for bis coat and disappeared into tbe darkness. -Self Proteelon. "You say your wife is a poor cook 7" "The worst ever." "And yet you say that you eat all of everything she prepares for the table. How can you do that If she can't cook?" "Great earth, man! If I don't, she will use up the scraps In some of those how-toMjtiliae-left-overHlishes, and that will be my finish," ,Tnri. 4f v 5 S ' '

Billy Tann, the dancing man at the New Phillips This Week. Vrudeville at the Phillips. It is to laugh that is if you go to the New Phillips this week and see Arnold and Gardner in their comedy sketch, "The Minstrels." for Arnold is one of the most entertaining black' face performers ever brought to this house. He keeps the audience in constant laugh, and does it as easily as the proverbial falling off a Log. Mixed with his big buch of foolishness, Al Leonhardt, grotesque Juggling comedian, has some tricks that are quite meritorious. It. was thought that the Eagles' carnival might prove a drawback to the vaudeville this week, but this has not been fund to be the case, as the patronage is liberal, this style of entertaining being bo cheap, and the performances co numerous that no one sees the need of missing it even were there half a dozen counter attractions. Friday night the amateurs will again be given a chance and a number of them have volunteered to appear, and they will ' opportunity to show what they can do. ; ? . The Greek year consisted of twelT months of twenty-nine and thirty days alternately. Three times In eight years a month was added to make op the deficiency. Cock aw a In. Cockswain was originally the man vho pulled the after oar of the captain's boat, then known as "cock boat." "Cock boat" Is a corruption of the word " coracle." and, as most people know, the coracle is a small, round boat used for fishing on some of the Welsh rivers. So cockswain comes to ns from the Welsh. Dew Is always formed upon the surface of tbe object upon which it 'Is found. On that account it cannot strictly be said to "falL" Toasc Seala. P Young seals do not know how to swim. They have to become gradually accustomed to the water,' either by entering it to paddle about themselves or by being carried into It in their mother's jaws. They have great fear of tbe waves' that break Into foam and as soon as they see one approaching take to flight In terror and do not torn round nntil they have ascended to a very high place above tbe sea.
