years old,
Friday
east of
Chicago.—The sessions of the sec-
ond National Peace Congress, which
opened in Orchestra hall Monday aft-
ernoon, attracted to Chicago many
thousand earnest enemies of war,
among them being many distinguished
statesmen, diplomats and political
economists. President Taft is the
honorary president of the congress,
and Secretary of War Jacob M. Dick-
inson is its active president, but neith-
er of these gentlemen was able to
be present, owing to their official du-
ties. However, there was no lack of
eminent men to preside over the ses-
sions.
As a preliminary to the congress,
special peace services were held in
many Chicago churches Sunday morn-
ing, peace meetings arranged by labor
and socialist organizations were held
in the afternoon, and in the evening
there was a big mass meeting, at
which addresses were delivered by
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and Rev.'
Emil G. Hirsch, both of Chicago, and
President Jacob Gould Schurman of
Cornell university.
Welcome to tho Congress.
Orchestra hall was filled to the
limit Monday when the first session
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston, the presiding officer,
for governors, mayors and hundreds of
clubs had been asked to appoint dele-
gates, and moBt of them had re-
sponded. President Dickison’s ad-
dress, the same he delivered several
weeks ago before the Hamilton club,
was read, and the congress was then
formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S.
Deneen for the state. Mayor Fred A.
Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene
Bartlett, chairman of the reception
committee. The secretary then read
a brief letter from President Taft, In
which the chief executive heartily
commended the aims? of the congress.

She Hung Suspended Head Down.
there is a sheer precipice of 300 feet.
Venturing too near the edge, the
weather-worn rock gave way under
Miss Hutton’s weight and she fell
head-first into the yawning canyon.
A dozen feet below her fall was
halted by the outspreading limbs of a
tree which found root In the crevice of
the focky cliff. Here Miss Hatton,
head down, hung suspended by her
skirts. P P& . •• V.:"-
The hen, which, as usual, was ac-
companying the teacher home, on see-
ing her mistress’ dangerous plight set
up a great, cackle, and for a moment
fluttered hither and tbitber as if in ter-
rible distress^ Om a ps^toent, how-
ever, did she waste in this useless tod read a ‘‘World Petition^ to the
fashion. «WIth marvelous intelligence
she tore down the road to the home of
Nick Hinckley, where Miss Hutton is
boarding. Reaching the house she ran
straight for the^ kitchen, and finding
the door closed beat upon it with her
feet and wings, meantime cackling
with all the power of her lungs. Her
unseemly conduct soon brought Nick
and his' wife to the door. Upon their
appearance the hen pecked frantically
at Hinckley’s pants legs, clucked with
unceasing and tremendous might, and
by tearing madly back and forth be-
tween the house and road, finally
made the astonished Nick understand
that he should follow her.
“Biddy” set Hinckley a merry pace
to the point of the accident. Arriving
there and seeing Miss Hutton’s dan-
gerous position he hastened for assist-
ance. Returning with Walter’ Hains
and Joe Caton, neighbors, Hinckley
was lowered over the cliff with a rope
and, securing it about Miss Hutton's
waist she was drawn up to safety. The
Joy of the ben knew no bounds when
her mistress was rescued. If hans
were eligible for Carnegie hero medals
“BfcWtf” would certainly be in line for
decoration.

TABLE GOES ON RAMPAGES.
Ancient Family Heirloom a Mystery
to Its Owner's | Friends—Cuts
Up Capers.
Pincess Anne, Md.—A table of an-
cient vintage, walking around tbe
room and cutting up capers like a
jumping-jack, Is one of the curiosities
of tbe twentieth century that la well
calculated to drive the cold chills up
And down one’s spinal column on a
midsummer day or to bring tbe per-
spiration to tbe surface iu the teeth
of a reusing blizzard.
The table is the property of Mrs.
William S. WiJUama of Alton, Wi-
comico county, who declares that on
a number of occasions, especially aft-
er there had been a death In the fam-
ily, «he has seen the heirloom Jump
around like a man who has dropped a
brick on his toe.
There is not a neighbor of Mrs. Wil-
liams who doubts her veracity for a
moment, and, if they did, she says
that she cau call in witnesses to sub-
stantiate her claims for her pet. Sbe
hopes that the table will stay in the
family for many generations to come,
and probably it will, for there are
very few persons in this world who
would care to take the responsibility
of looking after a table that periodic-
ally goes on a rampage.

Grips Cow’s Horns for Life.
Bridgeton, N. J.—Mrs. Henry Sayre,
an aged woman, was looking after
some poultry in her yard when a
cow pasturing near by attacked her.
Mrs. Sayre Was knocked down,several
times, but she managed to save her-
aelf from being gored by catching
hold of the horns of the animal. Her
screams for help brought several men,
who beat the cow off and saved tho
woman’s life. Mrs. Sayre suffered a
number of broken ribs, ani it ia feared
oerlous internal injuries.
Third Hague Conference.” This was
followed by an address by Dr. Benja-
min F. Trueblood, secretary of thie
American Peace society, on “The
Present Position of the Peace Move-
ment."
What Has Been Accomplished,
s" Dr. Trueblood said In part:
“Let me sketch in the barest out-
lines what has already been accom-
plished. The interpretation will take
care of itself.
“I. The men and women, now a
great host, who believe that the day
is past when blind brute force should
direct the policies of nations and pre-
side at the settlement of their dif-
ferences, are now thoroughly organ-
ised. IA hundred years ago there was
not a society in existence ofganized
to promote appeal to the forum of
reason and right in the adjustment of
international controversies. To-day
there are more than 500, nearly
every important nation having
its group of peace organizations. Their
constituents are numbered by tens of
thousands, from every rank and class
in society—philanthropists, men of
trade and commerce, educators tod
Jurists, workingmen, statesmen, rulers
even.
Triumph of Arbitration.
*11. The position which the peace
movement has reached is no less dis-
tinctly determined by the practical at-
tainments of arbitration. We are tbis
year celebrating what is really the
one hundredth anniversary of the birth
of our movement, for it was in 1809
that David L. Dodge, a Christian mer-
chant of New York city, wrote the
pamphlet which brought the move-
ment into being, and led six years
later to the organization in his parlor
in New York of the first Peace society
m the world. There had then been
no arbitrations between nations in our
modern sense of the word ‘nations.’ In
the 100 years since 1809 more
than 250 important controversies have
been settled by tbis means, not to
mention an even greater number <of
less Important cases, the settlement
of which involved the principle of ar-
bitration. Within the past 20 years so
rapid has been the triumph of arbi-
tration that more than 100 Interna-
tional differences have been disposed
of by this means, or between five and
six a year for the whole 20 years.
Arbitration is no longer an experi-
ment. It is the settled practice of the
nations. A score of disputes to-day go
naturally to arbitration where one
gives rise even to talk of war.
The Hague Conferences.
“III. In order to determine further
tbe advanced position which the
peace movement has attained on its
practical side, the two Hague confer-
ences and what they have ac-
complished must be taken into ac-
count It is still the habit of some per-
sons to speak disparagingly of these
great gatherings anct their results.
Some do it because they are satisfied
with nothing short of immediate per-
fection; others because they wish the
whole movement for the abolition of
war to fall. Others do it purel^ from
Ignorance.
“What have the two Hague confer-
ences really done toward bringing
about that state of world organization
and co-operation, the result of which
will, as Is universally conceded, bring
the general peace of the world and
final relief from tlje ruinous burdens
of T>loated armaments,’ because it will
establish the reign of law among the
nations as it now prevails among in-
dividuals throughout the civilized
world?
What They Have Done.
“The first Hague conference gave us
the permanent international court of
arbitration, to which 24 powers finally
became parties by ratification of tbe
convention. This court has now for
eight years been In successful opera-
tion, and not less than four contro-
versies have been referred to it dur-
ing the past year. The second Hague
conference enlarged and strengthened
the convention under which this court
was set up, and made the court the
tribunal, not of 25 powers, but of all
the nations of the world.
“Another step of .still greater mo-
ment was taken by the second Hague
conference in the direction of provid-
ing a perfect substitute for force In
the -settlement of international differ-
ences. It voted without a dissenting
delegation for the principle of an in-
with ludges always in service and
ternational court of arbitral justice,
holding regular sessions.
“The high water mark of the work
of the second Hague, conference was
reached In its action in regard to fu-
ture meetings of the conference. The
principle of periodic meetings of tbe
conference hereafter was approved
without a dissenting voice. The date
even of the third conference was fixed
tod the governments urged to appoint
at least two years In advance an in-
ternational commission to prepare the
program of the meeting."
Dean W. P. Rogers of the Cincinnati
Law school brought this session to a
close with an eloquent talk on “The
Dawn of Universal Peace.”

• St. Louis, Mo, May 3.—Later reports
from the storm-swept area places the
dead at 224 and estimate 400 persons
were injured. Gradually the property
loss grows larger, Chicago authorities
estimating that city alone suffered. 82,-
000,000 damage.
Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Ala-
bama, Tennessee and Illinois are the
States which suffered the most severe-
ly.
Scores of dwellings in Chicago’s
suburbs, were- demolished or unroofed
and their occupants injured: Towns
were uopdfbd and cut off from all com-
munication with the world. Trains?
were damaged and their progress
halted by the falling of telegraph-poles
across the tracks.
One report is from SL Francis Conn
ty, Arkansas, where near Wheatley,
one person was killed and three fatal-
ly injured. Wheatley is sixty miles
southwest of Memphis, and only a few
miles from Brinkley, where many per-
sons were killed is a recent tornado.
Eleven were killed and twenty-five
injured when a tornado struck the
town of Golden, Ma, twelve miles from
Little RoclLjdot, about 5 o'clock, com-
pletely demolishing the town.
Light flurries of snow fell early Sat-
urday in SL Louis. Reports from Van-
dalia, 111., and Shelbina, Mo., say snow
fell at those towns Saturday. SL Paul
is blanketed with a foot of snow, while
reports from Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin state the blizzard raging
there has abated but little.
Detroit, Mich., May S.—Three ves-
sels lost, one of them with her crew of
seven men, and a fourth found float-
ing, deserted, on Lake Michigan with
the fate of her crow unknown, is the
day’s summary of disaster from storm
and ice on the Great Lakes.
* SL Louis, Mo., May 1.—The list al
dead in the wind, rain, hall and snow-
storm which swept .across tee country
between the Northern Lake region and
the Guf States gradually has grown
through the day as reports have crept
in over disabled telegraph and tele-
phone wires. The list now totals al-
most 100, with hundreds Injured and
the property loss reaching millions. It
is thought the loss of life and property
will be found to be greater when more
complete information is obtainable.
Throughout Wisconsin and in parts
of Minnesota the storm has been suc-
ceeded by a great blizzard. The heavi-
est snowstorm of the year has fallen
at Duluth, La Crosse and Superior.
Theirteen persons are known to have
been killed In Missouri, two north of
Summerville, Texas County, and eleven
at Golden, Barry County.
Two sections at the extreme eastern
and western borders of Arkansas, were1
the greatest sufferers from the wind,
according to reports. In Washington
and Crawford Counties, in the north-
western part of the State, fifteen are
reported dead. The same past of the ;
storm which visited this section ex-
tended across the borders into Barry
County, Missouri.
Chicago was the worst sufferer of
the cities. Three persons were killed
there in accidents ' and otherwise,
many 'injured and 0,009 damage
done. ‘ ^
Reports erf forty-ferr dead have been
received at Memphis from points in
that section, including parts of Arkan-
sas, Tennessee and MississippL
fn the Northern States tbe gale was
accompanied by heavy snow. Through-
out Iowa, Iiilinols, Missouri, Indiana

The Langwbrths lived in a corner
house so easily accessible from tbe

a stop to the nuisance.
