DISCUSSING PLANS AND PROSPECTS

lOverdelicacy in this respect is a social
lhandicap and a cause of much need-
e (less lack of popularity, with conse-
quent depression and timidity.
• If you are in the habit of looking at
(your watch every few minutes to see
/What speed you are making, better dis-
card the watch. You will save ever so
'punch strain and actually suffer no
tloes of time.
Is it wise for sensitive natures to
themselves to tragical plays
|and harrowing novels? They pay
tfor the experience by suffering a
{ghastly nervous exhaustion out of all
[proportion to the temporary thrill.
Are you one of the people who hop
rap nervously when the train is near-
the station, and stand until It
? You think you are saving a
of time, whereas in reality a car
(empties in three quarters of a min-
,tute.
Yon have heard of “the total de-
ipravity of inanimate objects.” They
iare not depraved. We blame tnem for
jour own folly—as when we pile dishes
In reckless heaps that are doomed to
Up over, or pour hot sauce Into cut
(glass, or go into a dark room without
trying to remember where the furni-
ture is.
Why are people so aware ot their
sensitiveness to the color of furniture
and wall paper, and so blind to the
effect of the color of artificial light
on the feelings? Really, a mellow light
and an agreeable lampshade go far to-
ward making the evening restful and
cheerful and cozy. Crude Illumination
Is irritating.
The quickest way to cure “blues’*
Is to identify them. If you look back
ia little and discover that your woe has
no reasonable cause, and that you

(that the condition is physical. That

/ Gluck Not a Courtier.
[ Gluck, the composer, was not of the
isort of men of whom courtiers are
pnade. One day he attended at the
•court at Vienna a concert at which
the Emperor Joseph n and one of his
surchdukes sang a fragment from one
iuf Clock’s compositions. Naturally
(enough, the imperial artists glanced
(St the composer to see how he was
Impressed by the honor they were do-
ling him. They were shocked to ob-
serve that he was making a series of
grimaces. The emperor stopped and
Inquired whether he and the archduke
were not singing the bit according to
(Cluck’s idea of how it should be done.
!”My idea!” exclaimed Gluck. “Why,
(sire, I am the poorest walker In the
world, hut I would vastly rather take
is walk of six leagues than be forced
Its hear a composition of my own In-
terpreted In such a way as that.” Jo-
teph n was brave enough to take no
potlee of the criticism, but the court
■was quite convinced that if such a re-
jproach had beat addressed to the
(Caar Nicholas the composer would
jhmre prosecuted his musical studies
(from that time forth under the un-
favorable surroundings of the Siberian
urines.
Perth Amboy, N. J.: Two line of
Deputy Sheriffs, heavily armed, held
at bay Friday night 2,000 strikers
who tried to storm $3,000,000 plants
of the American Smelting and Refin-
ing Company and the Barber Asphalt
Works adjoining, while searchlights at
top of high towers played upon the
rioters.
Two hundred or more soft-nosed
bullets from repeating rifles and au-
tomatic revolvers were fired by the
deputies at the mob which gathered
behind a ten-foot embankment of the
New York and Long Beach Railroad.
Firing continued for hours, long after
the first detachment of fifty deputies
had reached the storm center. When
it ended one man, a sympathizer, lay
dead and several of the mob were
injured.
The net result of the day's rioting
stands at three dead and seven in-
jured. 1 Of the dead, one was a striker,
one was a man at work and the third
was the night watchman at the Perth
Amboy Tobacco Company’s plant. The
Injured, are all strikers, except Sheriff
Bollschweiler, who was stoned as he
was patrolling the district in his auto-
mobile.
Six men are under arrest, charged
with carrying concealed weapons and
inciting riot.

City of Mexico: Passengers arriv-
ing from Cuernavaca, after a horse-
back ride to Yautepec, where they
took the train, report that General
Juvencio Robles, at the expiration of
a three-days’ fight, had annihilated a
large force of Zapatistas, who were
operating about Huizilac and prevent-
ing direct rail communication between
the City of Mexico and Cuernavaca.
They state that over 200 Zapatistas
were captured and hanged, every man
taken with arms in hand being im-
mediately strung up.
O^er 100 were unarmed and these
were held prisoners. The Federal loss
was also considerable. The. number
of rebel dead in the fight, though un-
known, was thought to have been
great, as artillery was effectively used.
Robles disposed his forces so that
every line of retreat of the Zapatistas
was cut off. The battle began Mon-
day, ending Wednesday.
Martin Vlcario and Romulo Figuer-
oa, commanders of the Government
Rurale forces in the state of Guer-

YOUNG WOMAN’S EYE SHOT OUT.
Accident at Show Lost Other
When She Was Smaller.
Hopeless Case.
1 Midnight, and in the smoking-room
W the club sat a young man huddled
to a chair. A friend entered. "Hallo,
Smith,” he asked cheerily, “not going
liome yet?” "No.” mattered the de-
railing one. **I—I daren’t.” "Why,
(What’s the matter?" “Matter? It’s
(the end of everything! It means ruin,
grief and spoiled life!” The friend
looked frightened. "Here, Smith, tell
-aae what’s up. Perhaps I can help
you.” Smith clenched his fists till the
SChuckles showed white. “No one caiL
help me,” he cried in agony; "I have
■eome to the end of all things! At
■eight o'clock I telephoned to my wife,
and gave her a perfectly good excuse
tor not coming straight home, and’’—
“HUa voice sank to a whisper—‘Tve for-
gotten what I said!”
j Yoakum, Texas: While attending
a show Miss Pearce of Nixon, the
guest of her sister here, Mrs. George
McGrew, was the victim of a serious
accident. The show had on a West-
ern scene in which a great deal of
gun play was the order. In firing
blank cartridges, pointing the guns to
the flood of the stage, a bean was
struck by the wad of a cartridge,
throwing the bean toward the young
lady, who stood about three feet from
the stage, striking her in an eye,
breaking the eyeball.
She was taken to Cuero for treat-
ment. Reports from there say the
sight of that eye is destroyed, mak-
ing her totally blind, she having lost
one eye when quite young.
Guanajuato, Mexico: A cloudburst
here Sunday flooded the city to a
depth of several feet.
The loss of life and property was
large, but its amount can not yet be
estimated as' many bodies were car-
ried several miles down the valley
and probably will not be recovered
for several days.
The Porfirio Diaz drainage tunnel
saved the town from a greater dis-
aster. The fall_of rain was greater
than in 1905, when over 200 lives were
lost and damage estimated at $250,-
000 done to property.
The city is in a narrow gorge with
many American mining properties in
the surrounding hills. The Guanajuato
River runs through the center of the
town, and is joined by the Santa Ana
River. At the junction point, the wa-
ter reached its greatest depth. After
the flood in 1905, a tunnel over a
mile long was cut through the moun-
tain to prevent a recurrence of the
disaster. The tunnel proved to be
too small to carry all the water, and
the lower part of the town suffered.

Chicago, 111., June 19.—Against the
threats, charges and bitter invective
of the Roosevelt forces. Taft support-
ers in the Republican National con-
vention Tuesday put through the first
portion of their program by electing
Senator Elihu Root of New York as
temporary chairman. In spite of the
fact that Victor Rosewater, chairman
of the National committee, consistent-
ly ruled out of order every motion
made by the Roosevelt forces, it re-
quired more than five hours to reach
a vote on the temporary chairman-
ship.
Calling of the roll was beset with
difficulties from the very first name
on the list of delegates, but in the
end, when the tumult had died away.
Senator Root was found to have won
by a vote of 558 to 502 for Gov. Fran-

This move comes after several Gov-
ernmental attacks upon the “trust.”
The House Judiciary Committee a few
days ago decided to investigate the
industry. As soon as the packers were
acquitted in their recent trial at Chi-
cago of criminal violation of the Sher-
man law, the Attorney General turned
his attention toward a civil suit for
the dissolution of the Nation Packing
Company, through which, is was charg-
ed, the packers acted in concert. A
previous similar suit was dismissed by
the Government during the pendency
of the criminal proceedings.
The National Packing Company Is
a $15,000,000 corporation, owning some
of the largest packing companies in
in the world. As it is owned by the
big Armour, Swift and Morris inter-
ests, according to the Government’s
contention, the company is the agen-
cy for controlling the meat industry.

is claimed he will gain, if instructions
are lived up to, some of the votes in- ! j

Those leaders who have been urg-
ing a compromise candidate ever since
they arrived in Chicago are pointing
to another angle in these figures and
claim they show that it is essential
to name a so-called “dark horse” to
save the day for the Republican party. !

Gov. McGovern of Wisconsin. One
Roosevelt delegate, F. N. Hopkins of
