THREE WEEKS FOR WORK. REMAIN BUT 110THIIIG IS DONE .The Democratic Legislature; Which Promised Results tc Public, Has Nothing to Show Right Now.
(Continued From Pago One) fuss and feathers nnd raising of dust M I ho chickens croas the road, but when It comrn down to legislation that Is In tho Interest of tho people and In accordance with tho Democratic "platform and tho governor's wishes. It Imply hasn't materialized. I'nless things change very materially uud very rapidly during the nex. three weeks this legislature, the first ino Democracy has absolutely controll"d bltice 1893, will go down in history us I ho most absolutely corporation controlled legislature ever assembled in Indiana. Salvation to Be Preached. What shall wo do to bo saved? That Is the problem now confronting rtate Democracy. And the spirit of contrition Is worl.liiR among them. Of course, to be orthodox, the first thing Is to experience a change of heart. Hut who li to be the voice crying In iho wilderness of corporation lobbyist? Monday night will spell the fate. According to the program at that time there will be a caucus that will he more than n chuciis. It will be a Dem ocratic revival. There will not be 'much kingdom come ami golden rtreets and beautiful rivers of living waters preached, but there will be con siderable hell-fbe and damnation dished out to the hardened sinners. It will be a regular old- fashioned revival in which followers of Kaal and those who dance Ht tendance uHn the golden calf will he permitted to view the lakes of brimstone that await them unless they lake their garments under their ui ins and flee for their lives. Some of those who think there Is too much Socialism In the party of Jefferson will be treated to language as virile as that reported to have udorned the vocabulary of Andy .lackson, and they will be told it were far better for I hem to bo a doorkeeper In the house of the people than to dwell In the tents of corporations and be arrayed In" fine linen and eat nt the Claypool. Just bow many walling sinners this tafk will bring to tho mourner's le nch la not known but there is room for all. Marshall Will Exhort. Rumor has It that Governor Marshall himself will deliver the 'rousemcnt at this revival and he will point out that Democracy Is joy-riding to political perdition In it low-necked hack with some reactionary Republican senators as drivers. Moreover it is said he wilt tell some of the gents who like to sup consomme with the "pints" at fashionable cafes that unless they put on their overalls and go to wurk like honest employes of the people be will keep the legislature here In extra session until dog days. And it Is no Idlo threat. The governor Is a small man physically but he has his Dutch tor whatever ancestral blood flows In his veins) up, and when ho gets mad all over ho can with hl bare fist drive a ten penny nail through an oak plank. Of conrso there la the possibility that some of the democrats who wear a collar of the corporations looks like tho hames of a dray horse and who have been making threats, along with like republicans, to put a lot of news paper men who are reporting facts as they are' off the floor of the senate may rise tip In meeting and tell the governor to chaso himself around Uni versity park for exercise. In which case It w ll" be no place for a minister's son or even his distant relations. Will Grab Life Preservers. Hut that Is not likely to happen When the governor arises In the full strength of bis 94 pounds and profunda the question "Who runs the Democratic party, the Democrats or the Republican machine?" there will be quite a few who will llp down and sit on the back of their neck until the discussion Is ended, after which they will come to the top for air and swim for the life boat. Even the unsophisticated may be able to tell by the atmosphere of the senate Tuesday morning Just what effect the revival of Monday night had. If the Democrats who have been sliding down the cellar door with the Republican machine snub their old playmates and begin to do things calculated to hurt the feelings of their former chums you may rest assured the fear of the wrath to come has done Its work and there may be tome remedial legislation passed and somo platform 1'lcdgcg kept. Hut If thoso on the Democratic side who sneeze every time the Republican coterie take snuff continue their tactics. It will be time for those who are bystanders to emulate Zncchaeus and climb u tree, unless they wish to cash In their accident policies, while the plain people can take their choice between ending It all with a bare bodkin of using a clothes line In the woodshed. 00 ES do work that Many don't suspect Quit and try well-made "Tterc's a Gesscn'

KAISER HAS AGAIN GOT 'EM GUESSING Germany Wondering About His Garage for Airships at Potsdam. BY STEVEN BURNETT. Dcrlin. Feb. 13. All Berlin is trying to make out why the kaiser has taken It Into his head to have erected at Potsdam, almost adjoining the royal palace, a military airship garage of immense proportions. That the kaiser, like his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, is greatly interested in aviation, offers no explanation, for Pots dam is only a few miles from the army's principal aero-station at Tcgel where there are plenty of buildings k accommodate all the military dirigibles and aeroplanes. It has been jokingly suggested that since the Reichstag the other day had the audacity to decide that the kaiser, like his humblest subject, must pay taxes, an airship might come in handy if the tax collector calls at a time when his majesty is short of cash, as he generally la" by the way. But the only half serious explanation, which offers itself to the fertile minds of the Berliners is that the kaiser foreseeing the possibility of a socialistic revolution at Berlin, thought it might be advantageous for himself and the imperial family to have at the palace suitable means of escape which revolutionists could not follow or stop as they might a train or a swift automobile. Fantastic and unreasonable though this explanation is, it is so far the only one which anyone has been able to suggest so far, and until the kaiser himself comes forward with another, thousands of people here will believe it to be true. Wagner's Memories. No memories ever published have been looked forward to with such universal Interest here and abroad as the autobiography of Richard Wagner which under the title "My Life." will be published here a few weeks hence. The famous composer, who was never very fetid of writing, dictated tho book to his wife while she was still Frauleln Coslma von Buelow, during the winter evenings between 1863 and 1870. Wagner lived at Lucerne during this period, while evolving the Bayreuth "Festpiele, which were to be his enduring monument His great patron. King Ludwig of Bavaria was the Inspirer ot the autobiography. It consists of three volumes which were published in 1870 by BonfantinI In Basle. Only fifteen copies were struck off, to be placed In private hands for keeping until general publication seemed desirable. Volume 1 relates the composer's life between 1813 and 1842: volume 2 from 1842 to 1S50; and volume 3 from 1S30 to 1861. A continuation, begun at Bayreuth, never extended beyond the fragmentary stage. The publication by BonfantinI dragged along until 1S74. as Wagner was a punctilious corrector of proofs. Wagner was gifted with a prodigious memory, as well as a trenchant literary style, and "revelations" of surpassing interest are awaited.

HEW ROMANCE FOR A RICHMOND GIRL Mrs. Samuel Chauncey, Nee Alice Carr, Weds Famous English Soldier. Richmond society people are busily discussing the marriage, week before last in London, of Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chauncey, nee Alice Carr, formerly of this city, although it is stated, she does not admit this fact now, to General Cecil Bingham, one of England's most distinguished sol diers. The romance connected with the beautiful Carr girls, Alice and Grace, is a favorite topic with Richmond peo ple who remember them. After the death of Col. Montgomery Carr of Ixuisville, Ky., who served with distinguished bravery in the Union army during the civil war, the late Capt. Iee Yaryan, a comrade of Col. Carr, induced Mrs. Carr to move to Riclynond with her two daughters. as her income was not great and he believed she could live with less expense in Richmond than in Louisville. The two Carr girls were toast of the town and they had an army of suitors, but Mrs. Carr, it is said, had determined to have her daughters make distinguished alliances, so with the Misses Alice and Grace she went to Florida, and immediately Samuel Chauncey, a wealthy New York man, fell in love with Miss Alice and married her. A short time later he died, leaving it is said, an estate of a half million dollars. Mrs. Chauncey, her mother and her sister Grace, some time after Mr. Chauncey's death, went to England, and the two beautiful American girls created a furor and were admitted to the most ec!us- j Ivc circles of English society. Miss Grace was married to Lord Newborough and her marriage 5t is said is a; most happy one. Speaking of Mrs. Chauncey's second matrimonial venture, last week's issue of New York Town Topics .says: Town Topics Gossip. Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chauncey's marriage in London last week to General Cecil Bingham, was not an entire surprise to her friends here, as it was well known that the fair Alice had been keeping the elderly "Cis" as he is best known on the tenterhooks for some time. "It did require courage and a lot of love after all," as one of Mrs. Chauncey's women friends remarked, for Alice to take a widower of over fifty, with two grown sons, the elder of whom has just become engaged to Miss Dorothy Pratt, a fair young Englishwoman "of the North," as was Miss Lowther, the fiancee of James Wolfe in "The Virginians." In some ways Mrs. Chauncey has been the most successful of American women who have waged a social campaign in England of late years. She has succeeded in keeping even her women friends, constantly increasing her circle of valuable and useful acquaintances and disarming the scan dal mongers and gossips by her frank manner and open life. Although from Louisville, Mrs. Chauncey, through her marriage when still very young to the late Sam Chauncey of this city, has always been considered a NewYorker. Her father was Col. Montgomery Carr of Louisville, and she was considered a beauty there as a jgirl, which means much in a city notI ed for its beautiful girls. I notice that she was given away by her brother-in-law. Lord Newborough. who has always been devoted to her and to whose popularity, for he is a good fellow, much of his wife's and sister-in-law's standing in English society is due. Company Desserts. A delicious dessert is made by stiff enlng grape juice with gelatin and folding the whites ef eggs whipped to a stiff froth through it while it is thickening. Serve with whipped cream. All easily made "company" dessert Is preiwred by splitting an angel cake length wise .and spreading it with a thick covering of whipped cream and then putting the layers together and decorating the top with candied fruit arranged in some pretty design.

Let it come to a scald, but not to a ML Then turn off the water and, covering rgain with fold water, scald again and then pour off tm water. Take equal quantities of milk and water, enough to cover, thicken with flour wet In cold water, add two well beaten eggn and butter the size of an egg and serve at once.
A PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS iS NOW HOLDING MEETING
Representatives of Various Republics Meet at Washington and Will Discuss Trade Affairs. (Continued From Page One) that the trade of tlie United States with its sister countries of the West ern Hemisphere is developing in great er percentage than that of any other section of the world. In marked con trast is its commerce with China and the Far East. While the latter has practically stood stil! or decreased during the last few years, the trade with Latin-America has grown in a measure that is most impressive, and yet it is only in the infancy of its possibilities. Last year the United States sold exports and bought imports in commer cial exchange with Latan-Ameriea val ued at the splendid total of six hundred and thirty millions of dollars t $6:50,000,000). which represents an increase of approximately three hundred millions of dollars t$;:00,000.000) dining the last ten years. When the Panama canal is opened there is no reason why the exporters and importers of the United States should not build up their trade until it passes the annual mark of one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000). It is however of the highest importance that they should now be studying the conditions of commerce with all these countries iu the South as they will be affected by the shipping that will pass through the canal. Cnless they do this, they will find the canal providing of greater advantage 10 the manufacturers, exporters and importers of Europe, and even of Japan and the Orient than to those of the Cnited States.

Origin of tho Coat of Arms of the Earl of Leinster. Most of the wild animals have a place in heraldry, and many strange and impossible creatures, such as griffins, dragons and unicorns, have been inventeel as emblem of daring and valor. But the doukey and the monkey have not been so used, except in one instance, where the monkey has been admitted -to the ranks of titled nobility. The story of this adoption is told by Mr., Cr.rtis in his book. "One Irish Summer." On the Leinster coat of arms are three monkeys standing with plain collar and chained; motto, "Crom-a-boo," "To Tictory." This i the only coat of arms, I am told, that has ever borne a monkey in the design. It was adopted by John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald in 1310 for romantic reasons. While this Earl of Leinster was an Infant be was in the castle of Woodstock, which is now owned by the Puke of Marlborough. The castle caught fire. In the confusion the child was f irgotten. and when the family and servants remembered hlra and started a search they found the nurwry in ruins. But on ,one ef the towers was a gigantic ape, a pet of the family, carefully holding the young earl in his arms. The animal, with extraordinary intelligence, had crawled through the smoke, rescued the baby and carried it to the top of the tower. When the earl had grown to manhood he discarded the family coat of arms and adopted the monkeys for his crest, antl they have been retained to this day. Wherever yon find the tomb of a Fitzgerald yon will see the monkeys ot the feet of the effigy or nnder the inscription. The Happy Family Circle. Pat&er and mother, sisters and brothers, soon Tet to know one another's intimate affairs, and the little bowel and liver disturbances soon become household comment. It is well to remember that in constipation and indigestion, and other troabies of the stomach, liver and bowels a quick cure can be had by the nse ot Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take it tonight and yon win feel perfectly well in the moming. Price t'tS1 uenta and fl at drcggists-
LOCAL PROPERTY SOLDJOR TAXES Sale Held at Court House on Monday and the Bidding Was Quite Active.
Real estate which went delinquent in 1910 in many cases was disposed of for the amount of the tax lien and

ly $S,000 Among the bidders were a number of attorneys representing speculators who bid in much of the better offerings of auctioneer Albert Albertson, the county treasurer, who acted in this capacity by virtue of his office. Meek and Skillman of Greensburg, a speculating firm of that place, were particularly active and purchased many pieces of property. 'Some of the offerings went for an amount as low as a a dollar and a half, while there were quite a number which brought more than $200. the amount of the bid being in no instance less than the amount of the lien, as the treasurer is not empowered to sell any property for less tnan lne amount cf the lien which the state holds against it. Owners of real estate who went delinquent do not necessarily give up their title to the property by virtue of the tax sale They may redeem it at any time within two years by paying the amount of the tax, the delinquent fees and the stipulated amount of interest. The interest, operates on a graduated scale, 10 per cent being the amount which the law permits to be j charged tor the first six months, and HIGH SCHOOL NEWS The spring term of the high school began this morning with over six hundred in attendance, sixty-seven of whom are freshmen from Garfield.

They don't go deep enough. A clear skin without blotches or pimples can b had only with pure blood. Certainly a prescription that cures even the worst cases of blood disease, clears up eczema and scrofula and cures Inflammatory rheumatism and catarrk will produce a rosy complexion. Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound has for forty years been known as the most powerful of all alteratives or blood purifiers. There has never been a case of blood-poison (even syphilis) or skin disease that it cculd not cure. Thousands of women take it regularly to keep their blood healthy and their complexion clear. It is purely vegetable and harmless. It was orginally the prescription of Dr. A. B. Simpson, who was one of the most celebrated physicians of the middle west. Inflammatory rheumatism catarrh, scrofula, eczema, pimples, erysipelas and all troubles arising from impure blood yield to it readily. Sold at f 1 per bottle at all drug stores.

Young "Men's Business Club Banquet Friday. Already 134 favorable replies have been received by Chairman Raymond Mather of the Young Men's Business Club banquet committee, and from this it would appear the banquet which is to be given Nnext Friday night at the Masonic Temple, will be jone of the largest ever held in Richmany to prepare lor, every person who will attend should inform the committee at once. A number of letters have been received here concerning the talk ct scientific salesmanship which Charles Mr. Morrell has delivered the same talk at many other places before business men in all lines, and all who have heard it feel that they have enjoyed a rare treat. Tales of Cities. Chicago has thirty-three church organizations engaged in outside work for the social and moral development of the community. The growth of tho German city of Frankfort, now officially estimated nt 409,000, has been as rapid for the last twenty years as that of any of our western cities. New York hospital records show a greater proportionate increase in inebriety than in the population. Alcoholic eases have more than doubled in the last dozen years. Cost of Living. The fact that an egg has the nourishment of a pound of beef doesn't excuse meat prices for eggs. Atlanta Journal. The cost of living does not come down quite as If both wings were shattered and the rudder tangled In the propeller blades. There is. indeed, no unseemly haste, Cleveland Plain Dealer. FIVE VIRTUES.

The first theater in the world to nse Incandescent lamps was the Academy of Music, on Iialstead street, Chicago, the plant being Installed by the Western Edison Light company. The theater was wired for 150 sixteen candle power lamps. The lighting was confined to the auditorium. No electric lights were used on the stage, as dimmers bad not been thought of at that time. On the opening night, after the new lights were lustalled, the actors struck, claiming that it was impossible to make up by gaslight aud piny their parts under the glare of the electric lights. It was with difficulty that they , were persuaded to proceed with the second act. The first theater to be completely lighted with incandescent lamps was the old Haverly theater, theu located . on Monroe street, where the Inter Ocean building now stands. This plant consisted of two dynamos with a capacity of C37 lamps. Ou the openlug night ouly sufficient lights were Ktarted at first to enable the ushers to seat the audience. Wheu the curtain rose every light was turned on, causing u tremendous sensation among the audience nnd eliciting applause that continued for fifteen minutes. The innovation was so successful that Mc Vicker's theater and the Chicago Opera House immediately Installed similar plants. W. C. Jenkins In National Maeazine.
