Homan particularly urged Hie support of the small colleges scattered throughout the state.

In filling the three highest positions the lodge followed Its custom of the lust few years of rotating those already e.use-wrV, J In office and advancing each man a degree from his present position. C. C. Bradley, elected exalted ruler, lias served as esteemed leading knight for the past year and successively had filled the offices of esteemed loyal knight and esteemed lecturing knight. He has been a member of the Portland Lodge for more than six years and has been one of its most active members ever since. His first position was as a member of the finance committee.

HUMAN L00KKILLS BIRDS Steady Gaxe at Living Being Is De- clnrcd to Have Fatal Effect. PARIS. March 9. (Speclal.t U. S. surya. Prakas Raor.'writlng in the "Hin doo Spiritual Magazine." says that the Impossible becomes possible to the man who has practiced steady gaze. A French peasant, he asserts, was able to kill small birds by steadily looking at them. But the most striking story Is that of an opera singer named Mas sol, who, under the Second Empire, was a great favorite tv.lth the public. Al though he was a man of small Intel lect, he had a wonderful voice and an eye which slew. One of his greatest successes was his rendering of the "Curse" aria in an opera called "King Charles VI." During the singing of this aria, if his eye fell accidentally upon any one in the audience or on the stage, that tier son died. After he had killed a aeeiie shifter, the leader of the orchestra and an unfortunate merchant from Mar seilles, the opera was excluded from the repertoire. The writer of the ar ticle says the science and practice of "tlie gaze" is known among the Hindus as "Trataka Toga." The practice of the gaze gives you whatever you can desire, it is claimed by devotees. FIVE GENERATIONS SHOWN Pnri-lan Family Hans' From Baby to Grandmother Aged 3 Years. TARIS. March I. (Special.)

Pollard alluded at Univer sity College to the question of the omis sion of the word "obey" from the mar riage service. He believed., he said, that there was something common In origin between the ring put through the nose of the wild bull and the ring which was put on a certain finger of a lady's hand. It implied originally a certain amount of control a, certain amount, perhaps, of captivity and abe dience. Now that we were getting rid of "obedience," there would perhaps be a campaign against the ring aa well. The only objection to that was that the ring was quite a useful form of advertisement r The Telephone a Blessing to the Convalescent DECOYS' USE OPPOSED TAZWEI.r, SL.SPEXDS . SENTENCE OX I.IQIOU SELI.EU. Chief or rolice Slover Says Employ ment of Sloolpigeons Is Only Effective Method. Though admitting that lie sold drinks of "spirits of frumcntl," the pharma ceutical name for whisky, to two po licemen and a citizen, from the drug store of Solomon Miller, on South First street. F. Sisko. after being fined J100 in Municipal Court yesterday. was granted a suspension of sentence by Judge Tazwell. partially on the ground that the court was adverse to the use of men whom he denominated "stool pigeons." It was Solomon Miller, pro prietor of this place, who was con victed recently of carrying on an ex tensive traffic in cocaine among young boys. Patrolmen Jones and Griffith and a companion, went in the drugstore last Sunday and asked for whisky. They were directed to a back room, where the liquor was served. They paid 10 cents for each drink. Judge Tazwell has taken various po sitions on the question of the propriety of using decoys. At one time he freed the proprietor of one of the most notor ious resorts in the North End when a conviction would . have carried with it the forfeiture of the license, on the ground that decoy testimony was necessary to bring about a conviction. A few weeks later, in the case of a young woman, a first offender, he re versed his position and found the de fendant guilty, ruling in favor of the admission of the decoy testimony. "What can we do?" said Chief Slover yesterday. This Sunday traffic is going on all over the city and it is ridiculous to suppose that we can send uniformed policemen In to get the evi dence. If we send them in disguise, a great point i made of the fact by the defendants, and if a citizen obtains the evidence for ns, he is denounced as a -stool pigeon.' "If these are 'stool pigeons," we shall continue to use them, as it is the only way to battle with the illicit sale of liquor. If our cases are turned down on that account, it will not be our fault. We shall make the arrest3 and if the court sees fit to turn the defendants loose, let him take the responsibility. The war on the Sunday liquor traffic will go on just the same." LONDON GETS NEW SHOW American Woman Establishes Cab aret Playhouse With $2.50 Fee. LONDON." March 2. (Special.) Lon don society people promise to support with more enthusiasm the latest Ameri can entertainment here than it did the commencement of Hammerstein opera. But the show Is lighter in this case and there is a sprightly American wo man behind it. People call London dull, but Miss Floyd Ariston means to sweep oft the fog, so far as the gilded youth of the city are concerned. She lias introduced fo Hanover Square, right in the heart of the West End. the cabaret show of the Continental cities, with its music, dancing, cigarettes and coffee, chatter and perfumed ease. She aims at an audience of only 100 at a time, but each person has to pay J1.B0 to enter and for their delectation the show is as smart and snappy as a clever combination can devise. Picca dilly Johnnies are taking to the diver sion with glee. There is no frigidity or formality; the whole affair is based on elegance and light amusement. The aim is to provide polite Bohemia with a new attraction. When the little enterprise is firmly rooted the plan is to establish it at a permanent home, with a continuous en. tertalnment till the small hours of the morning.

Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. powerful liquor interests defeated the attempt by eminent sociologists the other day in the French Chamber to restrict the drink traffic in the repub lic, the matter is to be revived at an early dote by Joseph Iteinach and M. Augagneur. The statistics proved to the more serious politicians that the liquor prob lem lies at the root of French racial degeneracy. There is a wine shop or other drink saloon to every S9 people In France. In SO years since special dues on the trade were removed the licenses have grown from sr.4,000 to iSO.000. and the consumption of alcohol has mounted to nearly a gallon a head yearly. In Paris alone there are 30.000 drink shops, while London has only 5600. Chicago 5700 and Moscow 211. It has been shown at Lyons and one or two other provincial centers that tlie reduction of licenses brought a corre sponding reduction of spirit drinking and a consequent improvement in tl health of the community. Doctors and social experts plead for restriction, but the representatives of districts where wine, liquors and brandies form great part of local industries have up to now secured the postponement of the meas ure. It is the business of the reform ers to prevent the postponement being indefinitely prolonged. London to Send Exhibit. LONDON. Feb. 24. (Special.)

A harmless remedy, made from com mon garden sage, quickly- restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as Important as to care for teeth to keep them from dis coloring. Why spend money for cos metics and creams to improve the com plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when gray hair Is even more conspicuous and suggestive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two. it is easier to preserve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion. All that U necessary is the occasional is valued at $2.no.
