HOMEWARD

BOUND

Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks Will Return From Their Tour April First.

THEIR VISIT TO BEIRUT

WA8 A PLEASING ONE AND THE AMERICAN CONSUL-GENERAL TOOK THEM TO SEE AMERICAN GIRLS' SCHOOL.

Washington, Feb. 3. An American resident of Beirut, Syria, has wrinen a friend here at the capital about the visit of former Vice-President Fairbanks and Mrs. Fairbanks to Beirut. The letter writen January S, says that the Fairbankses had left Beirut that day for Constantinople. "While sojourning for a few days in the city of the Golden Horn," the letter says, "the guest of Ambassador Straus, Mr. Fairbanks will study Ottoman parliamentary methods." The letter noted that from Constantinople Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks would proceed to Athens, Rome, Berlin, Paris.and London, and expected to return to the United States about April 1, after having spent just one year in traveling around the world. Continuing the letter says: "They are enthusiastic in describing their experiences in the Hawaiian Islands, whose charm appealed especially to Mrs. Fairbanks. Through Palestine they moved leisurely driving in a carriage from Jerusalem to Tiberias. They have been favored with the most pleasant weather everywhere. On their arirval in Damascus however, they ran into a snowstorm, through which they fought their way to Baalbek and across to Lebanon undaunted and cheerful." Gives Helping Hand. The letter says that Mr. Fairbanks made it his duty and constant business to extend the "helping hand". Espe

cially have American missionary establishments in the Orient every reason gratefully to remember the ex-Vice-President's readiness to assist them by words of encouragement and otherwise. Education was his favorite topic in his addresses. In an address to six hundred pupils in the American mission at Cairo Mr. Fairbanks told them that the future of Egypt depended upon them: "I have seen many things connected with ancient Egypt as I have traveled the valley of the Nile, but let me tell you that I have seen no old things which have interested ine as much as the new things I have seen," he said. Reception at Consulate. The letter says that Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks hardly had alighted from the train at Beirut they were to leave by steamer the next forenoon before under the guidance of the American consul-general they were off to visit the American school for girls, within

the premises of which, by the way, is the room in which Dr. Eli Smith and Dr. Cornelius Van A. Van Dyck translated the Bible into Arabic, which is the sacred language of more than 200,000,000 fellow beings, including some of Uncle Sam's wards In the Philippine Islands. Here both the tourists made brief addresses. At the reception in the evening at the consulate in honor of the visitors, at which all resident Americans attended. Consul General Ravndal heartily welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks to Beirut. He alluded -to Mr. Fairbanks' intimate and prominent connection with the government in peace and war, declaring that history would not fail to associate the former senator and vice-president with the greatness of the United States which it has achieved in the last fifteen years. Mr. Fairbanks in replying to the welcome, spoke of American influence abroad. He said that other countries might compete with the United States along political and commercial lines, but from his observations during a journey which has taken him to many lands, he could state definitely that America was doing more for education of less civilized people and races than any other five countries under the stars.

By 8:30 the next morning the former Vice-President and Mrs. Fairbanks were busily engaged in inspecting the American college in Beirut, the greatest American institution of learning outside of the United States. More than eight hundred students of various races and creeds, from western Asia and northern Africa and the islands of the eastern Mediterranean, greeted Mr. Fairbanks when he addressed in the assembly hall. v. HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES which have stood the test of time deserve a place in the medicine chest of every family. Mothers afe today administering to their children the remedies their grandmothers used. For thirty years, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been curing the women of this country from the worst form of female ills, and merit alone could have stood such a test of time and won such an enviable record.

PROF. BROWN DEAD

Well Known Educator Was Formerly Local School Superintendent.

HE HAD NOTABLE CAREER

Prof. George P. Brown, who was su

perintendent of the Richmond public schools in the sixties, died at his home at Bloomington, 111., yesterday. Prof. Brown was one of the most distinguished educators ever serving in this city and is responsible for the establisment of the local high school. He stood high in the National Educational association and. in fact, had a distinguished reputation. He was elected superintendent of the Richmond public schools in 1S and served until .Sti5, when he took a position at New Albany. However, the local position was again tendered to him and he agaiu served two years, or from IStiT to 1WS. The superintendency of the Indianapolis schools was offered to him and he accepted the position.

i of the publication of an educational ! journal at Bloomington, 111., which

work he had charge of until his death. There are a large number of local citizens who will remember Mr. Brown. Superintendent T. A. Mott in speaking of his work said that he did more for the Richmond public schools than any other man in the schools' early history. Many advanced steps were- taken during his administration. Prof. Brown had a pleasing personality, which won for him the friendship of those with vflhorn he came in contact.

Honors Even. "There is a woman down in Glenolden," said an observer, "who is continually changing servants, but she has one girl that she hires and fires about half a dozen times a year. The other day the woman and the hired girl had another of their many tiffs. "Mary declared that she would leave and promptly proceeded to pack up her things. Thinking to shame her, the mistress of the house shouted upstairs: " 'Mary, you ought to" be ashamed of yourself. Why, I believe you have worked for everybody in this town.' " 'Is that so?' shouted back Mary. 'Well, we are even up there. You have faired every girl in this town that works out.'" Philadelphia Telegraph.

A Talkative Mute. She is so garrulous!" said the first deaf mute, speaking of a friend who was similarly affected. "Is that so?" "Yes. Why, do you know, when no one is around for her to talk to she makes her right hand talk to her left."

The Mining Compass. In Scandinavia, where there are many deposits of magnetite and many others of which magnetite forms a constituent distinctly affecting a magnetic needle, the Swedish prospector has long used the so called mining compass, which consists essentially of a small magnetic needle so suspended as to be able to move both horizontally ard vertically. When this compass is brought over ground in which such deposits of magnetic mineral exist, the needle Indicates their presence by its change of dip, so much so that it has been customary for years past in Sweden to buy and sell mineral properties by their "compass drag," or their effect on the miner's compass.

Necessitarians. The philosophic term "necessitarians" Is used to denote those persons that deny the freedom of will aud assert that in human conduct all volitions are determined by motives that obey the law of causation as invariably as do the forces of nature. The word "determinists" was suggested as a substitute by John Stuart Mill and has been very generally adopted. New York American.
