President Taft Encourages Nam
ing of G. O, P. Tickets in South.
Campaign Speakers to Be Sent Through
Southern States to Aid Republican
Party Nominecs.
Washington, D. C.—Every encour
agement that the administration can
glve to republican aspirants for state
ofice in the south will be given dur
ing President 7Tafts admiuistration,
according to rumors circulated here.
Confirmatory evidence i 3 found in the
fact that various cabinet officers will
participate in the campaign in Vir
ginia this summer and fall, the repub
lican nominee for governor to be cho
sen at the republican state convention
which is to meet in Virginia on June
23 will have all the aid and support
the administration can give, accord
ing to statements made by Represeu
tative Bascom Slemp, the only repub
lican representative in congress {rowu
Virginia.
The first cabinet officer to speak
in the state campaign wil be the sec
retary of commerce and labor, Mr.
Nagel. He is from Missouri, and is
put down as half southerner. Other
members of the cabinet will also take
the stump.
One of the issues in the campaign
wil be state-wide prohibition. The
republicans will advocate prohibition,
while the democrats will support lo
cal option,
Virginia is normaly democratic by
35,000 votes. The efforts of the ad
ministration will not materially
change that result, but it is expectea
to give courage and revivify the hopes
of republican state machines through
out the south.
JAPANESE WARSHIPS WELCOMED.
Ban Francisco Extends Hospitality of
Her Harbor to Visitors.
San Francisco, Cal.—For the first
time in many years San Francisco
is extending the hospitality of her
harbor to a visiting squadron of Jap
anese warships. Representatives of
city, state and nation united in a
memorable greeting for Admiral Iji
chi and the officers and men of the
cruisers Aso apd Soya, which arriv
ed here from San Pedro.
Tokio, Japan.—The cordial recep
tion accorded the Japanese training
squadron by the people of California
has had an excellent effect here. The
newspapers unite in saying that it
proves that the best class of Ameri
cans are friendly to Japan.
The hospitable attitude of the Pa
cific coast towards the sguadron gen
erally towards the imperial commis
gion to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific ex
position has dene much to remove
any misunderstanding existinz in the
minds of the Japanese. The lead
ing newspapers of Tokio devote con
giderable space to editorials on the
subject.
ROOSEVELT SHUGTING LIONS.
Ex-President Killed Three With Three
Bullets. '
Nairobi, British East Africa.—Four
lions are trophies of ex-President
Roosevelt’s camp in the Mau hills,
and two hundred or more native fol
lowers are joining with the American
party in the celebration of the un
usually good luck.
Colonel Roosevelt’s mighty - gun
brought three of the lions to earth,
each on the first shot. Thus one of
the president’s fondest ambitions has
been realized, and he is proud, too,
that the fourth of the jungle Kkings
fell before the rifle of his son, Ker
mit, who, however, took three shots
to kill his quarry.
Both father and son are jubilant.
It was their first lion hunt, and so
magnificent a kill was far beyond
their expectations.
RIOT AT BUENOS AYRES.
12 Men Killed and 100 Wounded in
South American City.
Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic.
The May-day celebrations organized
by the various workmen’s unions re
gulted in serious demonstration and
an engagement between the rioters
and police in which twelve men were
killed and a large number wounded.
According to official statements, a
group of anarchists fired on the po
lice, wounding five of the officers. The
police charged their assailants with
drawn sabers and revolvers. They
fired into the mob and struck right
and left with their sabers. Five of
the rioters were Kkilled, twelve were
seriously wounded. More than a score
esraned with lesser injuries.
The police succeeded in dispersing
the mob with considerable difficulty.
Not less than one hundred persons
were wounded.
MAY REINMBURSE STATES.
Bill 1s Introduced in Senate to Pay

Woshington, D. C.—States or terri
tories of the United States which sup
plied troops for service in the war
with Spain, before or after muster in
to service, may be reimbursed for the
actual expenses incurred in this work.
Senator Guggenheim of Colorado
has offered a bill making this provis
jon. A certificate of the governor of
a state showing morey was expend

of aiding the United. States, would be
wconsidered sufficient for the payment
of the claim. Clairas filed after one

DUTY ON_COTTON GOODS.
$39,000,000 Tariff Paid Annually By
Cotton Manufacturers.
~ Washington, D. C.~~Under the pres
ent tariff law cotton manufacturers
bring .nto the treasury one-seventh of
the total amount collected through
the custom house, Twelve articles,
or rather clasees of articles, pay
threefourths of the tariff duty col
lected by the United States, The
average amount collected is $300,000,
000, and of this cotton manufacturers
pay $39,000,000,
In the year 1907, which is the year
Senator Aldrich figures on in making
his calculations as to the probable
proceeds of the tariff bill, the high.
water mark in custonrs collections
was reached. In that year $329,000,
000 in duties were collected, Tho
following twelve articles led all the
others in contributing this sum:

These figures are taken from an
elaborate statement covering, in out
line, the tariff history of the past 88
years, which has just been published
by the bureau of statistics of the de
partment of commerce and labor.
The difficulties to be met and over
come in shaping a revenue tariff bill
are such a 3 almost appall the imag
ination, Duties are not assessed
against articles of one kind or arti
cles in one class at a uniform rate,
but the rate of duty differs with the
varying qualities of gocds. For in«
stance, in the cotton schedule the
number of threads to the square inch
in the cloth is made the basis for
assessing the tariff duty.
Details of fixing the rates of duty,
and of determining the amount of
duty which should be paid and of cal
culating the amount actually collect
ed, are, after all, most difficult and
tedious, and explain in some degree
the difficulties of the task of making
a new tarift,
TALKS OF WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
Pope Pius X Says Woman Must Re
main Man’s Companion.
Rome, naly.—llhe tounowing is re
ported to be exactly what his holi
ness, Pius X said to a delegation of
tne Union of Italian Catholic Ladies:
~Alter creating man, God created
woman and determined her mission,
namely, that of being man’'s compan
ion, heipmeet and consolation. It is
a mistake, therefore, to maintain that
woman's rights are the same as
man’s. :
“Women in war or parliament are
outside their proper spnere and their
position,
“There would be desperation and
ruin of society. Woman, created a
man’s companion, must s 0 remain—
under the power of love and affection,
but always under his power.
“How mistaken, therefore, is that
misguided feminine who seeks to cor
rect God's work! It is like a mechan
ic trying to correct the signs and
movements of the universe. Scrip
ture, and especially the three epis
tles of St. Paul, emphasizes woman'’s
dependence on man, her love and as
sistance, but not her slavery, to him.
“Woman’s duties, however, are not
confined within the household’s walis.
She has ‘a great social mission, a
place in every charitable cause, work
to perform on behalf of the sick, the
suffering and the criminal; the pro
tection of women and children. In
this great and common action women
should unite and should strive to se
cure the means necessary to exercise
the apostolic injunctions of social
charity.”
FIGHTING ADMIRALS MEET.
ljichi and Evans Say War is Very
Improbable.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Admiral H. Iji
chi, commander of the Japanese
training squadron_now at San Pedro,
had a long talk with Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans. The two admirals,
who are old friends and who are now
staying at the same hotel, discussed
international questions, including the
possibility of war between the Unit
ed States and Japan. They agreed
that war between the two nations was
impossible.
“I see they have been trying to get
us in t;ouble,” said Admiral Evans.
“Yes,” replied Admiral Ijichi, *“but
such a thing 1s pertectly Impossible,
The United States and Japan under
stand each other too well for any
thing of that kind. The people of
your country and mine have too deep
seated a friendship for each other to
ever allow any trivial matter to bring
about trouble.”

Cattle Tick Causes a Loss of
$100,000,000 Annually.
Dr. Cooper Curtis of the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry Tells
How to Extermuinate Pests.
Birmingham, Aia.—Dr, Cooper Cur
tis of the United States bureau of ani
mal industry, who is with Captain
Hobson, and his party of farm de
partment officials on their tour of the
south, has made a life study of the
Texas fever or cattle tick. He is full
of the subject, and no one can talk
with him for ten minutes without re
alizing the surprising importance of
the subject or catching some of the
infection of his enthusiasm,
The cattle tick is an unpleasant
subject, and one that does not inspire
interest at first thought, but when
it is shown that this pest is respon
sible for millions of dollars loss to
the farmers of the south every year,
we are compelled to take live notice
of it.
The cattle tick is indigenous to the
south and affects every state from
Texas to Virginia. It is not gener
ally known, but it is a fact that there
exists a damaging quarantine against
all cattle shipped from this section.
Cars containing southern cattle are
so labeled by order of the agricultu
ral department, which puts all pros
pective purchasers on notice that
they may be infected.
The federal department has taken
steps to eradicate the pest in co-op
eration with state governments, but
the officials are powerless to stamp
out the infection without the full co
operation of the people themselves.
Dr. Curtis says that the great prob
lem of the bureau now is io get the
people to understand the importance
of the matter. The work of eradica
tion itself is simple and practically in
expensive. A herd of cattle can be
cleaned up in less than a year’s time,
It is done simply by a change of
pastures. The tick drops from the an
mal and lays its larvea in the ground.
It reauires about 21 days for hatch
ing. If the cattle are moved from the
pasture where the eggs are deposited
before the hatching the herd is soon
clear of the pest, and will remain
clean unless they come in contact
with infected cattle.
Tt takes about four weeks for the
tick to mature on the animal and
drop to the ground. The hatching
is done after the dropping, and it is
at this period of incubation that the
cattle must be moved to a fresh pas
ture.
Dr. Curtis advises the building of
two or more pastures for this process
of rotation. Suitable partitions in one
large pasture is sufficient
By quarantining against all other
cattle the general eradication could
finally be accomplished.
The difference in the price of an
average beef animal from a tick-in
fected district and the free section
is said to be from sl2 to sls.
The total animal loss to the south
has been variously estimated as over
$100,000,000 on the present industry.
ACT OF KINDRESS REWARDED.
Man Loaned Stranger $lO and Re
ceived $5,000 in Return.
New York City.—Edward Lacey, a
Hoboken cigar dealer, has just been
officially informed that Theophyle
Regnaud of Paris has bequeathed him
$5.000 in his will. One day, five
years ago, Lacey and Regnaud were
returning from Brighton Beach race
track in the same train. Lacey had
won several hundred dollars, and the
Frenchman had lost every cent on the
races. They had not met before, but
Lacey insisted on Regnaud accepting
$lO, saying he could return it when
ever he had plenty of money.
Until he was officially informed of
the legacy, Lacey had not heard from
Regnaud.
EIGHT DEAD IN FIRE.
Mothers Threw Their Bahies From
Windows to New York Firemen.
New York City.—Eight persons are
known to be dead and many injured
in an incendiary fire which swept
through the five story tenement house
at No. 57 Spring street. The hallway
of the second floor had been soaked
with kerosene oil and fired by a can
dle.
The less dramatic incidents of the
fire occurred on the street side where
fear-crazed mothers, convinced they
could not be saved themselves, threw
their babies from the windows ond
fire escapes, shouting frantically to
firemen and policemen to catch the
little ones. All told a dozen infants
were thus thrown and safely caught.
DUTGH PRINCESS BORN.
Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands,
Gave Birth to a Daughter.
The Hague.—Wilhelmina, queen of
the Netherlands, gave birth to a
daughter.
The condition of her majesty is sat
isfactory. the infant princess is doing
well, and Holland is celebrating the
happy event from one end of the coun
try to the other with expressions of
joy such as seldom have been wit
nessed among this placid people.
The political significance of the oc
currence lies in the fact that there is
now an heir to the throne of the
Netherlands, a circumstance that very
greatly enhances the chances of the:
country for continued. independence.

Household Worries
The woman who has the care of
children in addition to her house
hold duties frequently finds the drain
upon her vitality more than her con
stitution can stand. She becomes
nervous, irritable, passes sleepless
nights, has headache, backache and
other weaknesses that make life
miserable. Fot-such there is nothing
that gives such quick relief as |
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
which acts directly upon the nerves,
refreshing and streangthening them.
“I was in a very weak condition;
could not gain any strength; on the
contrary, lapsed into nervous prostra
tion. Had headache, neuralgia, could
not sleep. I began using Dr. Miles’
Nervine and grew pidly better. For
weak women there"?s nothing better.”
