SUNDAY AT HOUSTON
Cutting Affray Which May Re-
sult Fatally to a Negro.
Practice Shoot.
AWARD OF SCAT PRIZES.
Letter From Adjutant General and Chief of
Staff Moorman Expressing Satisfaction
With the Reunion Management.
Houston, Tex., May 26.-Tlits afternoon
there was a cutting affray in the Second
ward, in which two negro boys were in-
volved. It was near the corner of Maple
and Hamilton streets. A fellow named
Young was cut with a large pocket knife,
which inflicted two ugly wounds, one near
the heart and the other in the back. The
wounded man is in a very critical condi-
tion. He was taken to his home, near at
hand, and a doctor called. His assailant
made his escape, but Officer Mike Hart-
net't gioit his trail and on foot followed him.
three miles into the country, but the fugi-
tive was too fleet of foot for his pursuer.
At one time the officer went In the front
door of a negro cottage as the fugitive ran
out of the back door. The officer succeed-
ed in getting two boys to join in the chase,
and when he gave out from exhaustion the
boys kept ahead and the arrest may be
effected before morning. Other officers
were out hunting for him, but took the
wrong trail.
THE RECENT REUNION.
The following letter was received by
General Manager Childress and will be
read with much pleasure by his many4
, friends. It gives him just praise for his
very able management of a very difficult
problem:
At Reunion, Houston, Tex., May 25, 1895.—
Colonel W. A. Childress, General Manager
Reunion Committee—My Dear Col'onel:
General Gordon desires me to express to
you his thanks for the personal courtesies,
extended to him during his visit here at
the late reunion. Everything possible was
done for his comfort, and he highly &p-
1>reciates the kindness extended to him
)y you and your splendid committee.
I, as adjutant general cf the United Con-
federate Veterans, also wish to thank you
and yoiir committee for all the kindness
shown to me and to say that I think you
!have carried out all your promises and in
catering to the pleasure and comfort of the
veterans have come fully up to the mark.
The supreme wisdom of Providence inter-
fered with many of your plans in sending
down torrents of rain, and no just man or
woman will blame you for what the Great
Being has seen fit to do; but even under
t'hese adverse circumstances, and appar-
ently a calamity, you have accomplished
■that which I believe has never been done
before—handsomely and satisfactorily en-
tertained a great host of brave men and
"handsome women, equal in number if not
greater than your entire population.
The feat you have accomplished Is un-
paralleled in the history of the reunions
of our order, and I believe has never been
excelled ini the history of great meetings
in this Country.
Again thanking you, your knightly pres-
ident, Captain Cleveland, your chivalrous
grand marshal, Dr. Rutherford, gallant
chairman committee on transportation,
Major Peck, and magnificent secretary,
Mr. B. R. Warner, and all the heads and
members of your able and efficient com-
mittee, I have the honor to remain, very
truly yours, GEORGE MOORMAN,
Adjutant General and Chief of Staff.
SCAT TOURNAMENT.
In accordance with a published notice
there was a scat tournament last night at
Turner hall, in which forty contestants
participated. It was begun at 5 and pro-
longed till after 8 o'clock, and as the end
drew near became more and more excit-
ing. There were several coveted prizes at
stake, and the players employed their
most skillful tactics. The programme
which was published sometime ago was
carried out. The prizes awarded were as
follows:
First, Ed H. Bailey of Houston; second,
H. G. Mullen of Houston; third, S. J. von
Koenneritz of Austin; fourth, G. Tips of
Houston; fifth, A. Barttlingck of Pious-
ton. Charles Hermann and August Moser
were given trowels as having "passed" with
trumps in hand more times than any other
players.
Hen- Louis Illmer was given twenty Iris'h
potatoes as a reward for his excellent
management of the affair.
There were a number of prominent vis-
itors from other counties of the state who
participated.
POST C. OF T. P. A.
This forenoon there was a meeting at the
rooms of post C. of the Travelers' protec-
tive association at the Hutchings house of
parties who intend to go to San Antonio
to attend the meeting of the national as-
sociation of the Travelers' protective as-
sociation. It was for the purpose of se-
lecting the rail route by which to go to
San Antonio. The matter was discussed
at considerable length, and it was finally
decided that each person could go over
the line he preferred. They can well do
that, as the rate of the different roads is
the same. In this way each excursionist
can take his choice. It is believed that
there will be a large crowd from here. In
this connection it may be stated that Chair-
man Benish of the National association's
press committee has about completed his
annual report for the occasion, and it will
contain some valuable matter.

RAILROAD INTERESTS.
WORK OF THE STORM
SANTA FE LOANS.
Topeka Capital.
In conversation with a reporter for the
Capital yesterday afternoon Treasurer Ed-
ward Wilder of the Santa Fe spoke en-
couragingly of the outlook for the financial
interests of the Santa Fe. He says that
at the close of this week the vouchers for
supplies, etc., for the use of the company
will have been more closely paid up than
they have been for five years. The great
system calls for the expenditure of vast
sums of money in that line, and the fact
that the payments therefor will exceed
any during that length of time is signifi-
cant of the advancement and improvement
of the financial part of the work.
Mr. Wilder says the prospect for the
Santa Fe reorganization plan going
through successfully has opened the way
for a large list of negotiations on the part
of the capitalists who are desirous of loan-
ing the Santa Fe money to meet its obli-
gations in accordance wit]} the orders of
the court. There have been made several
applications by men who indicate that they
would be pleased to loan the company
money at the rate of 4 per cent. This is
unusual, as the company has paid rates of
interest averaging considerably above that
sum.
Speaking concerning the business now
being done by the company, Mr. Wilder
says the earnings continue to hold up and
indicate a general improvement in the va-
rious departments at this time. Taken as
a whole, the prospects ahead of the Santa
Fe management are looked upon by the
managers and officers as encouraging.
CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Taylor, Williamson Co., Tex., May 26.—
Another shipment of fine fat beef cattle
went out from Taylor last night via the
International and Great Northen railway
to Chicago. They were owned by John B.
Pumphrey, three carloads, and Bland &
Robertson, two carloads. John B. Pum-
phrey also shipped seven carloads of extra
fine beef steers to Chicago on Thursday.
This makes a total of twenty-eight car-
loads shipped out from Taylor during the
week ending last night.
T. & P. CHANGE OF TIME.
Fort Wort'h, Tex., May 26.—It is all but
officially announced In railroad circles here
to-night that a sweeping change of sched-
ule goes into effect on the Texas and Pa-
cific next week. Among the changes will
be the departure fully two hours earlier
■than at present of the regular eastern pas-
senger, now leaving ihere at 6.45 p. m.
AGGREGATE RAILROAD EARNINGS.

CROSSTIE COMMENTS.
The passenger departments of the va-
rious Texas roads will stop to catch their
breath this week and give the freight men
a chance.
Since May, 1893, Boston's holdings of Bur-
lington and Quincy have decreased from
475,958 shares to 475,551 shares. New York
holdings jumped from 279,966 shares to 336,-
797 shares and Chicago has dropped from
8150 shares to 7676 shares. It is clear that
Boston let New York have practically all
of the new stock issued in 1894.
LOCAL PERSONALS.
Mr. W. S. Parker, commercial agent of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe at Fort
Worth, is in the city.
Mr. J. L. Pennington, live stock agent
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, spent
Saturday In Galveston.
Mr. W. F. Tuley, traveling passenger
agent of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe,
left last night for Dallas in order to be
on hand for the Charity circus. Mr. Tuley
will handle the ticket wagon.
Mr. Ed Womack, chief clerk of Assis-
tant General Passenger Agent L. J. Parks
of the Southern Pacific at Houston, was in
Galveston yesterday. Mr. Womack lost
his voice selling sleeping car tickets dur-
ing the reunion.
PRICE, M'CORMICK & CO.
New York, May 23.—Price, McCormick &
Co. say in their weekly letter:
If cotton merchants were psychologists
the present cotton market would have a
dual interest for them. During the past
week it has been exceedingly interesting,
not only because there has been es-
tablished a very substantial advance in the
article itself, but the action of the market
has demonstrated the tendency of a num-
ber of average minds when concentrated
upon the same problem to reach the same
conclusion coincidently. In the field of
electrical invention, in which there are at
present employed a larger number of en-
terprising thinkers than in any other de-
partment of scientific research, it has be-
come a well established fact that, given
a particular problem in electrical science
to solve, applications for patents that are
approximate solutions of that problem
will be almost simultaneously filed by a
dozen different men. The cOtton market
during the past week reflects a somewhat
similar action upon the part of a large
number of those who have been interested
observers of its condition. They all seem
to have simultaneously reached the con-
clusion that cotton was cheap, and that
it was a good thing to buy, and the re-
sult is that prices show an extreme ad-
vance of nearly Yzc and are now 2c per
pound higher than the low point reached
on February 28 last. In the face of the
speculative excitement which has ruled It
seems profitless to discuss the conditions
which have found recognition in the es-
tablishment of the advance. To nearly
all thev are now apparent. A brief enu-
meration of them only is necessary. A
backward spring, the conviction that the
acreage will be reduced, improved trade
in nearly all departments or commercial
activity and an absorption of the visible
supply to a greater extent than had be«'n
anticipated, and last, the continued and
rapid increase in the world's production
of gold include them all. How far their
effect Is still unexpressed in the price of
cotton it is hard to say. The drift of eur-
rent talk is now that after all 7c is not a
high price for cotton; that within the
past five years it has sold as high as 13c
in New York, and that 10c is quite in the
range of possibility. When a widespread
conflagration Is in progress it would seem
wise to remove one's effects beyond the
limit of its possible extent and not simply
just to that point at which it would stop.
This is the attitude of those who might
under other oonditions be sellers of cotton
at these prices, and until there is some
evidence that the SDread of the conflagra-
tion has been arrested the fervency of its
heat is likely to consume all those who
get in Its way.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Gilmer, Upshur Co., Tex., May 26.—R. F.
Bassett accidentally shot himself yester-
day with a 41-caliber pistol. The ball
barely missed the principal artery, ranged
downward, lodging Just under the knee
cap. Xhe wound La A very dangerous one.
The Body of a Woman Carried Down
the Guadalupe--BigIRise in
Comal.
FIVE MEXICANS DROWNED.
Some Damage in Anderson County—A Tank
Car Wrecked—The Guadalupe on the
Biggest Rise for Years.
Sonora, Sutton Co., Tex.. May 24.—It is
reported that five Mexicans, who were
camped in a hollow about thirty miles
southwest of here, were drowned night be-
fore last by a sudden rise caused by the
heavy rains.
DAMAGE AT MOULTON.
iMoulton, Lavaca Co., Tex., May 25.—A
severe wind and rainstorm, accompanied
by almost incessant lightning, vis-lted this
place last night. Part of the roof of Bue-
scher Sons' oil mill was torn off by the
wind and the smokestack blown down.
The front of Krause's dry goods store was
also partly blown away. As far as can be
learned, the damage to the crops is small.
During the storm a tank car blew out of
the San Antonio and Aransas Pass yards
here, ran about two miles sout'h, and was
struck by stock extra No. 6, going north.
Beyond wrecking the tank car and demol-
•is'hing the engine pilot, very iliittle dam-
age was done.
IN THE WEEDS.
Taylor, Williamson Co., Tex., May 25.—
The almost incessant rains which have
fallen in this section during the past three
weeks have placed the farmers almost
'hopelessly "in the grass." So wet and
sticky has been the soil in this black waxy
land during the time that farmers have
found it almost impossible to plow and
cultivate the fast-growing crops, and grass
and weeds are growing as if by magic.
With rain in abundance, several weeks of
warm sunshiny weather is what is needed.
Cotton choppers are in great demand.
BRIDGE DOWN.
Luling, Caldwell Co., Tex., May 26.—This
section has been visited by severe rains
daily for the past three or four days.
Startling reports of damages from hail
come in from outlying districts. All
streams have been on a rampage and much
injury has been done thereby. The Aran-
sas Pass bridge over Plum creek, six miles
below here, was carried away, and all
trains were laid out yesterday, passengers
and baggage being transferred. The indi-
cations for settled weather are not very
favorable.
WOMAN DROWNED.
New Bra-unfels, Comal Co., Tex., May 24.
—Heavy rains for the past few days have
caused the Comal river and t'he Guadalupe
to rise twenty feet. While the rainfall
around New Braunfels was very benefi-
cial, up in the mountains west of here it
did a great deal of damage. Fences were
washed down and sheep and cattle
drowned. The body of a woman is said to
'have been carried down t'he Guadalupe,
corning from above. No particulars as to
identity.
GUADALUPE UP.
Victoria, Tex., May 25.—The Guadalupe
river is on the biggest rise it 'has had for
years. It rose five feet last night and is
still rising. The water is out in several low
places but the damage so far is slight;
however, if the rise continues for twenty-
four hours 'longer, crops In many of t'he
bottom fields will be ruined.
ELECTRIC STORM.
Rockdale, Milam Co., Tex., May 25.—A
hard rain and elec'tric storm visited this
city last night. The rain poured down in
torrents, badly washing the streets and
fields. No other damage was done.
DAMAGE BY HAIL.
Palestine, Tex., May 26.—A very (heavy
rain fell ihere yesterday evening, wlt'h con-
siderable wind 'and hail. The hail was
small, but did a good dea/l of damage >to
gardens.
West Point, Fayette Co.—(Entirely too
much rain, and the crops are getting in
the grass.
Crawford, McLennan Co.—There Is a
great deal of rain here and crops are very
promising.
Sonora, Sutton Co.—The rains of the past
week have put this county in fine shape
and all stockmen are wearing a contented
look.
St. Mary, Refugio Co.—Another fine rain.
The whole land is covered with water. The
rain has been general. Crops are now as-
sured, except what have been damaged by
the high winds that accompanied the first
hour of rain.
Medina City, Bandera Co.—Two good
rains; a fine season in the ground; corn
worked out the second time, clean and
looks well. Cotton young but looks thirfty,
a very good stand. Oats and wheat very
good.
Calvert, Robertson Co.—Several heavy
rains have fallen in this section the past
few days. Farming interests are being
badly Interfered with in consequence. Cot-
ton is looking badly from the rains and
cool nights.
Beeville, Bee Co.—Fine rains continue to
fall. Many streams have been swollen, but
the downpour has been gradual and but
little damage has resulted. Every water
hole has been full and overflowing. Crops
and grass could hardly be more luxuriant.
Warren ton, Fayette Co.—Farm work Is
practically suspended owing to the copious
rains that fell the past week. Farmers are
beginning to feel rather uneasy about their
unchopped cotton, and the overabundance
of rain is clearly noticeable on their faces.
Menardville, Menard Co.—There has been
a downpour of rain all over this county for
twenty-four hours. Stockmen say it is
the only general soaker this country has
had in twelve months, and gpass is better
than it has been in ten years, but no stock
to eat it.
Luling, Caldwell Co.—The cotton acreage
in this section has been cut down fully 15
per cent for 1895. The corn acreage Is in-
creased nearly as much. The farmers are
making a greater effort than ever "before
to raise all necessaries at home and the
prospects are promising.
Victoria, Victoria Co.—The heaviest rain
that has fallen in this section for months.
This county Is thoroughly drenched and
soaked, and If no more rain falls this sea-
son the corn crop is assured and will be
the heaviest for years. All other crops will
be benefited proportionately.
Creedmoor, Travis Co.—It has been rain-
ing so much for the past few days that the
farmers are getting as gloomy as they
were in the dry weather. No work has
been done for several days and should the
rain cease it will be some time before
farmers can get into the fields.
Ohappell Hill,Washington Co.—The ground
•has been wet here mow for about ten days,
and farmers have been unable to do any
work in the crops in that time, hence the
fields are getting badly in the grass and
are longing for some dry weather. The
corn i« in silk now and prospects are good
for a fine corn crop if it does not continue
to rain too long, but' the cotton prospects
are poorer than for many years before.
'Midway, Madison Co.—Crops are rather
late, especially cotton. Corn is In fine fix,
and with a few more rains will make a
bountiful yield. Cotton is small and very
little of it worked yet. Besides, the reduc-
tion in acreage is going to cut short the
crop should an average yield be made.
The News correspondent never saw the
• otton so sorry for many years up to the
present time.
Tilden, McMullen Co.—This county has
not been as wet at this season of the
year as it is now for twelve years. Two
rains Tuesday; in the aggregate a 3-inch
rainfall. The prospect for a corn crop
could not be much better, now just enter-
ing roasting ears. There will not be ex-
ceeding fifty acres of cotton planted in the
county. If that, much. The recent fcisrh
price for cattle has caused cattlemen to
sell off their cattle, so they are so lightly
stocked until the grass in the pastures is
eimply fine.
ALABAMA'S NEW CROP.
Farmers Gathering Bushels of Grain From
Swamp Cane.
Savannah News.
An article in the Morning News of last
Friday, taken from the Columbus Herald,
gave a description of a remarkable phe-
nomenon which has developed in Russell
county, Alabama, just across the line from
Columbus. The phenomenon consists in
seeding up the common swamp canes
which are so well know all over the south.
The swamps of the south are tilled with
such canes and they grow all the way
frcm knee high to the ordinary fishing
pole size, this being the same cane so gen-
erally made use of in this section for fish-
ing poles.
Mr. John P. Turner of Columbus, who
presided over the sessions of the druggists'
convention in Savannah this week, brought
a sample of this prodigy of nature with
him, which he presented to the Morning
News. The sample consists of about three
feet of the top of an ordinary reed cane,
the whole filled with little heads of grain,
having the appearance of heads of wheat
or rye. There are over one hundred small
heads on the stalk. It was cut off before
the grain was fully matured, so that the
grains would not fall out, but Mr. Turner
has a sample of the matured seed also,
which he brought for the purpose of ex-
hibiting to his brother druggists. He has
taken trouble to post himself on the sub-
ject of this phenomenon, and, though he
is still in the dark to a certain extent con-
cerning it, he is able to give some very In-
teresting information about it.
"Only people born and raised in the
south," said Mr. Turner, "can comprehend
the remarkable character of this phenom-
enon. Never before in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant has such a thing oc-
curred, nor is there any record of such a
thing having ever occurred before. Along
Hatchechubbee creek, in Russell county,
for a distance ol' several miles, the reeds
of the swamps have gone to seed. It is
not a mere scattering production, but there
Is simply a big crop of reed seed in the
area named. There are thousands of bush-
els of it, sdme say millions of It. The
farmers have realized It?" value and are
gathering it by the hundreds of bushels.
Stock eat it greedily. The seed have very
much the appearance and taste of oats.
The interior of the grain is a white,
starchy substance. It is pleasant to the
taste and apparently there is no reason
why it should not make good food for
human beings.
"The new product is the wonder of all
that section of country. The farmers are
anxious to learn something of the cause
of the phenomenon. If they could make
a regular thing of the reed yield it would
be an incalculable boon to them. In the
hope of securing some light on the sub-
ject I sent a sample of the cane with the
seed to Prof. L. E. Sayre of the university
of Kansas, a distinguished botanist. In
his reply Prof. Sayre deiined the specimen
sent him as the 'arundinaria macrosperma.'
'This,' he says, 'is a polygamous plant and
may not always fertilize fully in certain
quiet localities. Of the genus arundinaria
you will 'see an account in the report of
the department of agriculture at. Wash-
ington, D. C., entitled "Grasses and For-
age Plants of the United States," page 78.
The arundinaria testa there mentioned
blooms after ten to thirty years of devel-
opment; fruit bearing period lasting one to
three vears, the plant then dying; propaga-
tion from rootstalk. it is probable the
plant you have here fruiting is one that
has very long intervals of development;
possibly as much as thirty years elapses
before It flowers and fruits. If this be the
case its utility as a plant for economic
purposes may be doubtful.' "
Mr. Turner does not think seed planted
from the cane will develop, as he does not
believe the grain to be a perfect develop-
ment. He thinks that in some unusual
manner the reeds become fertilized with
pollen from some other plant, and the re-
sult is the heavy harvest of seed. He ad-
mits that it Would be a wonderful thing
for the south if some means of fertilizing
the cane so as to secure annual crops could
be discovered, but is doubtful of its possi-
bility. There are millions of acres in the
south covered with reed cane, and if some
means should be discovered as bringing it
into bearing it would prove one of the
freatest blessings that providence ever con-
erred upon this section. Half of Chat-
ham county could be planted in it, includ-
ing the abandoned rice plantations. It
seems that the attention of the depart-

FACIAL EXPRESSION.
London Dally Telegraph.
A curious paper Is contributed to Black-
wood's by Dr. LouJs Robinson on the in-
fluence of trades on faces. It is pretty
generally agreed that association with
horses gives a person a horsey look; but It
appears that circus riders and ringmasters
are exempt from the general rule, because
with them the horses are regarded as
mere "properties," and their minds are oc-
cupied solely with the achievement of cer-
tain feats to the satisfactio-n of the public.
Dr. Robinson takes as types professional
musicians, priests, actors, actresses and
blacksmiths, and shows how their pursuits
induce strongly marked facial expression.
PJven the style of hair which has become
associated with mus'iclans is not altogether
dependent on fashion, but Is evidence of
trophic changes resulting from menial
habits. Tlhe growth and vitality of the
hair are profoundly Influenced by emo-
tions. Priests can not change their priest-
ly countenances if they wished. For some
mysterious reason tlhe subcutaneous tissue
over the cheek bonnes and under the jaws
of the cleric's face gets an undue supply
of nouri'shmenit, which leaves distinctive
marks, while the consciousness of a share
in the apostolic legacy gives a muscular
set to the lips. Dr. Robinson goes on to
discuss the other classes mentioned In the
same strain, and he ends by saying that
the aim of the fcaper is to aid those who
are endeavoring to place physiognomy on
a sound basis. The 'task is a difficult one,
because in the course of t'he article he ad-
mits that not only may the organic part of
a man show every sign of guilt when there
is no guilt, but only temptation; but it may
even go further, in attaching a slanderous
label to the countenance, owing to the in-
terlocking mechanism of emotion, passion
and nutrition.

Great Interest in the National League
Meeting to Be Held at
Cleveland.
A WIDESPREAD MOVEMENT
In Which Some of the Great Minds of the
Nation Are Enlisted—The Subject to Be
Considered From Every Standpoint.
Philadelphia, Pa., May 26.—Judging from
the vigilant attention given by the news-
papers to the forthcoming national munic-
ipal league meeting to be held the last
three days of this month in Cleveland, the
concern for the future welfare of larger
cities is growing. This meeting will be the
third of its kind held within two years.
At the first conference held in Philadel-
phia, the general features of the problem
were given consideration and the munici-
pal conditions of the leading eastern cit-
ies were described. This was followed by
the organization of the national municipal
league. The second meeting was held in
Minneapolis, and western cities were given
attention, and specific remedies, such as
proportionate representation, were dis-
cussed. Both of these meetings were in-
fluential in bringing together the promi-
nent and active workers in the cause of
municipal reform and the interchange of
views and experiences has proved to have
been of value in the advancement of the
cause throughout the country. The third
conference In conjunction with which the
first annual meeting of the national
municipal league will be held meets in
Cleveland upon the invitation of the Cleve-
land chamber of commerce and the civic
federation. The former is an active busi-
ness organization of nearly 1500 members.
It has headquarters in the Arcade, where
the sessions of the conference will be held,
but at an early date it expects to begin
the erection of a building of its own. Tho
civic federation Is a new body which has
been about a year in forming. Hon. E. J.
Blandin, the author of the present char-
ter, under which the city is working,
known as the federal plan, Is the presi-
dent.
The arrangements for the conference
have been placed, In the hands of a com-
mittee of seventy-two, with Hon. L. E.
Holden Is chairman and Prof. Mat toon M.
Curtis as secretary. •
Mr. Holden, as editor and proprietor of
the Plain Dealer, occupies a position of
influence, and is a most devoted worker in
the cause of municipal reform. He co-
operated with Judge Blandin In giving to
Cleveland Its present charter. Among those
associated with them on the committee
are; Luther Allen, president of the cham-
ber of commerce; Hon. Robert P. Porter,
editor of the World; J. B. Morrow of the
Leader; H. A. Griffin, secretary of the
Ohio state board of commerce; H. A. Gar-
field, son of the late president; Postmaster
Hutchinson, Rev. D. Hayden, D. D., ex-
president of the Western Reserve univer-
sity and its present president; Dr. Charles
F. Thwing, Hon. E. L. Bland and Riorson
Ritchie, secretary of the chamber of com-
merce.
The programme as arranged provides for
the consideration of the municipal condi-
tion of about eighteen cities, mostly of the
second class. This portion of the previous
programme has always proven of excep-
tional Interest, and judging from the
prominence of this year's speakers the
same will be true at this time. The three
Pacific coast cities—San Francisco, Seattle
and Portland—will be represented by
Messrs. Mlllekln, Oldward O. Graves and
Thomas N. Strong, respectively.
Ex-Mayor Piatt Rogers will give an ac-
count of the political conditions of Denver.
Rev. Gregory J. Powell, although an ac-
tive Congregational pastor, finds time as
secretary of the Omaha political league to
contribute a large share to the effort be-
ing made to put Omaha on a higher plane.
Another minister will speak for Detroit,
Rev. Mr. McLaurin.
Mayor George Ochs, who will read the
paper on Chattanooga, Tenn., is credited
with reducing tlhe city's expenses one-
tenth. This was done without crippling
the healthy development of the city.
Among other cities, the municipal con-
ditions of which will be described, are In-
dianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, New Or-
leans, Jersey City, Buffalo and Washing-
ton, D. C.
John Willi's Bear, secretary of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor, has pre-
pared a report of what Endeavorers have
done during the last year or two in behalf
of better city government.
The question of good city government
will be considered from the physicians'
standpoint by John S. Billings, M. D.,
deputy surgeon general, U. S. A., and pro-
fessor of hygiene In the university of Penn-
sylvania, and one of the most distinguished
sanitarians in the country, and from the
women's standpoint by Mrs. C. A. Runkle
of New York City, who is actively identi-
fied with the Civic league, the successor of
the Woman's municipal league, that lab-
ored so earnestly for Mayor Strong's elec-
tion.
Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., of Col-
umbus will discuss it from the ministers'
point In his paper on "Civic Religion."
Dr. Gladden has 'been among the foremost
in preaching the gospel of civic regenera-
tion, and his numerous articles and books
have had an influence in bringing about
the present general interest in the sub-
ject.
The sessions of the conference will be
presided over by James C. Carter, w'ho,
although he Is one of the busiest of New
York lawyers, finds time both as president
of the National municipal league and of
the New York City club to contribute a
speech on the cause of municipal reform.
Hon. Theo Roosvelt. until recently
United States civil service commissioner
and now police commissioner in New York,
will be present if his new official duties
will permit.
Charles A. Bonaparte of Baltimore, al-
though still a young man as far as years
go, is a veteran municipal reformer. He
has been in the thick of every battle In his
city for pure politics, and as chairman of
the executive committee of the National
municipal league, has contributed largely
to the success of the government.
Messrs. Carter, Roosvelt and Bonaparte
will be the speakers at t'he mass meeting
on Wednesday evening, May 29. The pros-
pects are that the Ohio cities and those in
the nearby states will be most largely
represented, but there will be delegates
Makes
Hard Wa-
ter Soft
—Pearline.
Every woman
knows just
what
that means to her. Washing
in hardwater is so difficult, and
the results so poor! Pearline
reduces the labor, whether you
use soft water or hard. But
use Pearline, and it's just as
easy to wash with hard water
as with soft water—and the
results are just as good.
Pearline saves more things
than your labor, though. We'll
tell you of these savings from
time to time. Keep your eye
on Pearline "ads."
B«wv« of imitation*, ma J a MRS Pi'LE. N.I.
from all Che leading cities, east, west and
south.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff of this city, the
secretary of the National municipal league,
has devoted weeks of his time to the pre-
liminary arrangements for the coming
meeting. Mr. Woodruff said to-day in an
interview:
"if widespread newspaper discussion is
any indication of popular interest in a
question, then there must be general and
widespread interest in what pertains to
municipal g.ivernni'-nt. Not only do we !ind
papers especially devoted to it^ considera-
tion coming into the field in magdzln>
books and pamphlets in Inereasin;; quanti-
ties, but the daily and wokly newspapers
of every city devote valuable editorials to
th>' discussion of the \ irioiis ph.?.--' s of the
municipal problems and the general move-
ment. This is a. good .si^n, lor in these
latter days we do hot find the press de-
voting any considerable space to subjects
in which t'heir readers are hut little con-
cerned.
"One important and encouraging feature
of this latter day miinieip.il reform move-
ment is the general Interest manifested by
every class in the <ommuni(y. The Cleve-
land conference demons!rates this. Law-
yers, clergymen, physicians, bankers, busi-
ness men, manufacturers, editors, are all
represented on the programme.''
