No meeting last night. Too hot for comfort at headquarters. v President Harrington says unless something of Importance comes up to demand attention there will be no regular meetings until September. Tha following directors were elected at the National convention:, John M. Bull, St Louis; Geo. M. Stef fries, St" Louis; Alex McQuilkln, Philadelphia; R. A. Boogies, Atlanta, Ga.; J. W. LUlard, of South Carolina. The Mlssouro division put forward F. R. Shadlock andGeo. W. Smith as candidates for National directors from St Louis, but the other states did not seem to .be In sympathy with the wants of the Missouri division in that direction. The National counstitution and bylaws were changed to . pay- $10,000 death benefit when a member is killed while riding on a train propelled by steam. Also to pay for partial disability at the rate of $12.50 per week for the length of time, a member Is so disabled by accident Both of theae changes are welcomed and will strengthen the organisation by being effective.

One of the first steps that a new employee at Krupp's (the famous gun and armor factory of Germany) has to take Is to bind himself to absolute secrecy as to what be sees or hears in the firm. But, this oath notwithstanding, nothing Is left to chance, for every precaution Is taken to prevent the employee from knowing anything more than IS required for his own immediate work. In the offices all correspondence passes in locked cases. One, official forwarding such a case to another writes the name of the addressee on a slip of paper, which is Inserted under a glass frame ingeniously mounted la the case. Only on opening the case with Its special key can the address be removed, and It is therefore Impossible for papers of importance to fall Into wrong hands. In the drawing offices every scrap of paper Is locked at night Into fireproof and burglar proof safes, fitted with time locks. The employees have to change their clothes before entering and after leaving the office and they take their meals In the works In the dining hall. In cases where the secrets of the firm are Inevitably shared by employees Krupp's pays salaries such ss would make any attempt at bribery ineffective. This reference l. more particularly to the men in charge of the armor plate and steel manufacturing process. Army and Navy Journal. Outer Cyos of a Outer Spidtr. The attus family of spiders, abound lng In Java, have la addition to numerous smaller eyes a pair of large ones which have been called "gig lamp" eyes. A specimen of the spider, captured near Bulteniorg, exhibits a remarkable power of changing tbe col or of Its eyes. When taken the eyes were dark brown like the body, but suddenly they changed to bright grass green. Soon afterward they turned back from green to brown, and this change of color was repeated several times in succession, apparently at the will of the creature. Whether this action on the part of this curious species of spider Is an effort to Inspire terror In Its enemy or whether It is an effect of its own terror is uncertain. Another singular fact is that the' color of either one or both eyes could thus be changed at will. Harper's Weekly. Which Boss Did He Want? "Is the boss in?" wss asked at a big business office In this town. It happened to be the proprietor who came to tbe front "Which bo are you referring to." he asked mildly, "tbe office boy or tbe

Some Gossip Gatherd From The Gay American Metropolis

New York, June 24. To relieve a long felt want another gigantic hotel is to be built in the vicinity of Times Square. The structure, .which will be erected on the northeast corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-seventh street is to be twenty-four stories high and will cost more than $4,000,000. The ground to be occupied by the hotel, was recently purchased by a syndicate for $1,350,000 and, adding to this sum the cost of the structure the total will reach the respectable sum of about $5,500,000. It is scarcely necessary to state that the hotel will be strictly up to dare in its arrangement and equipment. Accoring to the plans mapped out the hotel will contain 1,200 rooms, about 200 more than the Waldorf -Astoria,and every room will be provided with a bath. The hotel has already been leased to a prominent hotel man for $350,000 a year, the lease to take effect when the building is ready for occupancy, which is expected to be some time in the fall of next year. During the coming month there will be a wholsal naturalization of aliens in this city, In preparation for the coming fall election. There are nearly three .thousand of these aliens who have taken out their "'first papers" some time ago, to be made into fullfledged citizens and, to accommodate them a special term of the supreme court will be held during the month of July, which will devote practically its entire time to the naturlixation of aliens. A great weight is about to be taken off the police force in Brooklyn. Patrolman Frank J. Link, of the Ralph avenue precinct in that borough, who is built somewhat on the lines of a railroad round-house, has put in an application for retirement He weighs 325 pounds, and is said to be one of the heaviest policemen in the department Link has geen on the force twenty-three years. Some time ago he disputed the right of way with a Brooklyn trolley car and his left leg was injured. It has troubled him ever since and this fact Induced him to seek retirement.' There is no record of what happened to the trolley car in the collision with Link. The suffragettes of the Nineteenth Assembly district have settled down to business. The other day they held their first "Suffrage Darning Bee" which according to corroborating testimony , proved a grand success. About twelve of the suffrage-aspiring ladies assembled at the headquarters of their .organization and spent the afternoon mending stockings, bathing suits and other ftmanine things, while, at the time time they talked politics and other subjects dear to the femanine mind.

For the first time in many years a supreme court jury took the testimony of several deafmutes In a suit which was heard the other day. Walter Harriman, a deaf-mute sued the Francis H. Leggett - company for $25,000 for the loss of his right hand. Harriman claimed that he not ony lost his means of earning a livlihood as a printer by the accident, but he also had to learn to talk in a new way. The company claimed that Harriman lost his hand by his own negligence. Notwithstanding the strict pure food laws upon the statute books and the fitful efforts of the authorities to enforce these laws, there are amny caBes of the most flagrant violation of these laws The three children of a poor widow on Second avenue invested a few pennies in so-called "JellyBeans," a cheap kind of candy sold in large quantities in the poorer districts of the city, and all three were so severely poisoned that the doctors at the hospital held out no hope for their recovery. Their diagonia was ptomaine poisoning and a rigid investigation of the nature of the "jelly beans" will now be made. An unusually rare and interesting Indian relic was unearthed the other day on a farm near White Horse, N. J. The relic, evidently the work of some Indian sculptor, is of baked clay and represents the head of an Indian. The head is two and one-half Inches long and an Inch and a half wide. Shell ornaments, known to have been used by the Delaware Indians are attached to the ears, wnile the lips and nose have been slightly abraded. The artistic ability shown in this relic is said to be unusually high for an. Indian. The Virtue of Traveling. There are two great fallacies based on ancient and rusty sows it were a noble deed to demolish. One is that traveling is a form of wrongdoing, founded belike on- the stupid saying that a rolling stone gathers no moss A. pertinent reply would be that a mossy stone Is neTer highly polished and that a stone is not a proper place for moss, anyway. The other undermining caution is that one ought to see ones own new country before one sees the wealth of the old countries. Unless on business bent there Is no earthly reason why one who can afford to travel should not begin, at once with the richest and most beautiful countries, with Italy and Greece Life is short and uncertain; one cannot tell what may happen to deprive one of sight and health and means day after tomorrow, therefore it is well to see and enjoy tbe best while one can.

A BILLION COULD BE SAVED YEARLY If Every State in the Union Would Improve Its Principal Highways. (Palladium Special) Washington, June 24 Between half a billion and a billion dollars would be saved annually in the United States if every state would improve its main highways to the highest point of efficiency. Calculations just made by the United States Office of Public Roads show that to affect this enormous saving throughout the country it will be necessary to improve only about 20 per cent, of the roads. There are now about 2,150,000 miles of road in the United States. Two hundred thousand miles, or about 9 percent are improved in some manner. To bring the number of miles up to 20 per cent, it will be necessary to improve 250,000 more miles. While this task may seem stupendous, it is estimated that it can be accomplished by a probable average expenditure of $7,000 a mile, or $1,750,000,000 for a fairly complete system. Were each state to put $4,000,000 Into the improvement of its roads, the work could be accomplished In a very short time. Page Discusses It. "A complete system of roads," said Logan Waller Page, director of the United States Office of Public Roads in discussing the road movement that Is sweeping over the country, "is an economic necessity. A few figures will illustrate the stupendous saving that could be made. "There are, for instance, nearly half a million automobiles in the United States at the present time; their value, roughly estimated is close to three-quarters of a billion dollars. There are, in addition, 21,040,000 horses and 4,123,000 mules, the number growing steadily despite the advent of motor vehicles. The value of the horses is obout $2,276,353,000; the value of the mules, $500,000,000. "Then take the pleasure vehicles. They number 907,000, with a value of $51,500,000. Then take the wagons used for commercial purposes. They number 576,300, the hotal value being $31,4S0,000. The wear and tear on these vehicles as a result of bad roads is nearly twenty-five per cent A complete system of improved highways T?ould cut this loss in half. "The great saving in transportation of all kinds of products, including those of the mills as well as those of the soil would ' amount to many millions of dollars annually. In the case of the corn crop of the South alone, no less than $.,200,000 would be saved In transportation, despite, the. fact that

"Wherever a new road is built or an old one Improved the value of the nearby land rises automatically. This increase in itself is sufficient in most cases to pay for the Improvement The profit from the country from this source would be almost inestimable. In fact it is a very conservative estimate that the saving throughout the country, from all sources, as a result of the improvement of twenty per cent of the roads would be somewhere between half a billion and a billion dollars every year. And this saving could be accomplished by an expenditure of $2,000,000 in each state the first year and a much smaller sum each year thereafter for maintenance. The whole thing depends, of course, upon systematization and all the states working together, but it would seem that the era of road building that has begun is tending towards these results." HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Wellington's Pita In Favor of " the Thames Embankmtnt Sit. Wellington once declared that tbe most exciting moment of bis life was not In any of his great battles, but that In which he had to forbid William IV. to attend a public banquet In the city during a time of great national excitement Of the millions of people who every year see the English houses of parliament how many Imagine that their position was determined by strategic considerations) No one nowadays can think of the palace of Westminster In any other position than that which it occupies. But when the old houses were burned down and the task of rebuilding faced there was a proposition to establish them on or near the site of St James palace. Wellington resolutely put down his foot on the proposal. The site suggested, its advocates pointed out, would be better as regards ceatrality and convenience than any other. But to the argument of the duke there could then be no answer. "With a vast and growing population, such as yours in London." he said, "you must never make it possible that you can be surrounded. You must build your houses of parliament upon the river, so that the means of ingress and egress are safe and that the populace cannot exact their demands by sitting down around you." Sir William Fraser, In whose memoirs the story is recalled, mentioned It to Napoleon IIL just before the death of the latter. "What wisdom r he said. "What wisdom!" And it set him musing upon the different tura which the history of France might have taken If in other ways as great precautions had been observed In bis own case. St James Gazette.

Kloman'e Garden

Gardening Notts. Plants growing in sunlight always need more water than those in shade for evaporation and transpiration are always greatest under those circumstances. . Midday watering when the son shines on the foliage will burn tha foliage of many of our common house) plants. Shading during excessive heat will strengthen plants and help them retain moisture. Temperature both of the air and of the water should be considered. An overheated and humid atmosphere will cause straggly, spindly growth very susceptible to attacks of disease. The temperature of the water used has been found to have a marked effect on plauts. Best results are obtained when the water Is about tha same temperature as the place in which the plants are growing. : Although the watering should Dot be carried on so that a constantly wet soil results, in watering always be thorough. Any receptacle in which plants are growing should have holes In the bottom for drainage. " Window Gardening. No home should be without a window garden, in city homes trouble frequently arises from insufficient cam in selecting plants which will withstand the unfavorable conditions usually met with. Too great beat. Insufficient air and insufficient light are often the great faults. The first two conditions may be remedied by much spraying and dampening. Spread out cloths to protect the floor and spray the plants frequently. If there Is Insufficient light plants must be chosen which will endure the shade. ' Do not make the mistake of using inferior plants for your window garden. Procure vigorous plants growing In rich soil and you will be well repaid. Among the flowering plants suitable for a window garden are ' tha calla, cyclamen, Chinese and English primroses, oxalls, geraniums, : heliotropes, fuchsia and freesla. Attractive hanging baskets may be filled with Tines to add to tha beauty of tha room or porch. ' The Rotation of Plants. Geraniums will grow in any soil, bat must have only a moderate amount of manure and not too much water. Pansies like the richest kind of light, loamy soil Most shrubs like a moderately rich soil, with yearly applications of manure on the surface over tha roots. - Cannes like tbe richest possible kind of soil, with abundance of water after they start to grow. For some reason which cannot' be fully explained some plants will not do welt two years In succession la the same place. Especially Is this true of asters snd sweet peas. It Is mora or less true of all plants. Tast la why the farmer rotates' his crops snd why tbe gardener should never. If she can avoid It, plant the ssme variety la tha same place oftener t ban once la three years. -';'": : ;snr. Flowtr Screens. A screen of climbing nasturtium to hide the unsightly ash can -and garbage bucket will be n "thing of beauty" all summer If the blossoms are plucked freely and the roots properly watered. . : " ' : A screen of sweet pes, is also beautiful, but It Is late to plant seed for such a purpose nt this season. For families that fire just now tnov lng into the country n nasturtium trellis Is better. The seeds. If planted now, will produce blossoms soon, and If the very best futility of mixed seed Is selected the variety of color will be a constant surprise (H.d delljrht. Use a fence of chicken wire and fasten at both ends to stakes driven Into the ground. Phloxes Art Striking. Tbe varieties or phlox which' grow ln a season are suitable for the amateur who wfxhes to produce a striking effect in lier garden. - There are so many different varieties that any shade desired excepr yellow may be found. Varieties differ in height, size snd shape of blossom, ah sre of easy culture. Tbe plants should have a sunny position, They grow rapidly and their blooming" season is nor long, but may be prolonged by giving plenty of moisture and a partial sbads -." Sweet Poo Enemies. Slugs and other pests must be watched for. especially in the evening, wheat they come out to feed. If put into a pall of strong salt and water they wfll die very quickly. If small green or brown fliesaphides appear on the plants, spray them at once with soft soap and water and kerosene or with some Insecticide. Syringe the plants with clear water the next day. and spray them agaia and again, if necessary, till all the aphides s.re destroyed. : Houso Plants. In dark rooms such plants as tha palms, the pandanua, the screw pine and New England flax do well Of tbe palms the fan and data varieties require least care.
