Now, that tho pa, conferonco Is n thing of tho past wi tho plenipotentiaries of Japan and u,jia havo left for their respoctlvo lantrics. tho question Is puzzling many hilosophlcal obscrvors, why It was ,tt ever slnco Mr. "Wltto, tho Russian enlpotcntlary, landed In New York, completo rovorslon of public sontl ent took place Tho former opon eferenco for tho Jnpancso gavo way a ileclilcit pro-Russian sontlmont. hat causcfl that changot Boforo tho rival of Mr. Wltto ovory roforonco tho war and to tho romarkablo sue jjos of tho Japancso on land and soa oked tho most pronounced cnthuslas c demonstrations In favor of tho Jap iesc. All that scorned to bo forgotton soon as Mr. 'Wltto nppoarod upon o scene. This comploto rovorslon of ntlmcnt prosonts an Interesting irsoloRlcnl problem. It must bo ad ittcd that Russia as a nation had dono ithlng to bring about thnt change. io military oporationa In Asia woro aetlcnlly nt a standstill and thero u nothing In tho roporta from tho it of war that could havo Influoncod o public mtndi In this country ono' f or tho othor. Tho only oxplana m that odors ltsolf is that tho chango is merely duo to tho personality of a Russian plenipotentiary. Comparatively Httlo was known of r, Wltto boforo ho arrived horo and en less of Mr. Komura. Both wcro ceptotl as great mon in thoir rcspoc o countrlca, solcctcd fro that inv rtant mission bocauso of thoir omi nt fitness. In that respect thero was i mlvnntngo on oithor sldo. But, is n strnngo fact thnt Mr. Wltto mado iro friends for himself and for Bus- i In ono day than Baron Komura dur ,' his ontlro stay in this country. Tho norlcans aro a peculiar nation.

That Is feeling oxists in this country is sven by tho oxaggoratod form In ilch It is found in cortain sections of ) country which thoy rosont. That 9s feeling oxists in this country is bven by tho exaggerated form im m s M n which It Is found In cortain sections of tho country which aro still in a rather primitive- stato of civilization. To re fuso to drink with a man is consid ered an Insult in tho West and South and on tho Bowery. Did Mr. Wltto know that? Baron Komura, although a Harvard graduato and thoroughly fa miliar with tho English languago, mado few If any frlonds. Ho kept himsolf aloof from contact with tho peoplo and sacrlflcod his popularity to what ho considered tho dignity of his mission. In many rospocts tho Americans aro liko chlldron. Thoy aro easily swayed, asily aroused, Incllnod to becomo his torical at tho loast provocation and worship success abovo overythlng. A man may bo tho most unscrupulous scoundrel and blackguard, if ho is clovor enough to steal a crodltahlo sum of money or to cheat somebody out of a fortuno, tho Americans forgot his moral defects and worship him as n groat man, a horo. About tho miildlo of Novcmbor thero will bo hold In this city ono of tho most important religious gatherings that ever met In this part of tno country. Tho meeting will bo known officially as tho Inter-Church confer onco on federation, nnd will hold Its first session In Carneglo hall on Novoni her 15. It will bo tho first conforonco in tho religious history "of tho United States to which delegates havo beon named officially by tho various Pro testant denominations. Previous joint conforoncos on missions and othor topics havo boon unofficial In charac ter. Tho conforenco will, In no senso, moan an attempt to bring tL various religious bodlos of tho country Into or ganic union. All that tho loadors hopo is that tho conferonco may croato a pormancnt organization of tho churches, which will bring them into bettor and KOSOWHM LICATi You will never get well and strong, bright, hap py, hearty and free from pain, until you build up your constitution with a nerve refreshing, blood-making tonic, like a It Makes Pale Cheeks Pink It ts a pure, harmless, meJiclnal tonic, made from vegetablo ingredients, which relievo female pain and distress, such as headacho, backache, bowel ache, dizziness, chills, scanty or profuse menstru ation, dragging down palns,otc.

It woul bo intorostlng to know what effect tho interesting disclosures in tho insuranco Investigation will bavo on tho Insurance buslnoss. Tho testimony discloses nn almost Inoredlblo cerrupt: tion in the management of certain In suranco oompanies. It seemes that tho lntorosts of the policy holders aro ab solutely without protection against tho dishonesty and reoklossness of tho di rectors and officers. Thero seem to bo no laws In oxlstonco to provent such mismanagement and tho policy holders oan do nothing but pay and trust to luck. The disclosures by this Investi gation havo opened tho eyes of tho public, however, nnd it Is to bo expect od that an energetic demand for tho passage of laws will bo mado that will enablo the state or the federal govern ment to exercise control over tho man agement of Insuranco companies. Recklessness Is ono of the most pro nounced American characteristics. To soma extent the human raeo every where la Inclined to bo reckless, but nowhere is this tendency so strongly developed as in this country. Perhaps 09 per cent of tho accidents which happen every year are, to a certain extent, attributable to recklessness. Tho American will toko chances, fre quently desperato chances. It Is true, we are surrounded by dangers on tvety side and at all times and It Is also true tho familiarity with dangers .breeds contempt and leads to recklessness. Thousands aro klllod ovory year by boing crushed In olovntors,'torn by ma chinery or run over by vohlclos, but ovory ilny in tho year somo fools will tnko tho most dosporato chancos with olovntors, machinory or vohlclos. Just think of tho appalling list of fatalltlos causod ovory year by our idtotlo meth od of celebrating thn Fourth of July; thjnk of tho hundreds of fools drownod ovory yoar bocauso thoy Inslstod in going into doop wator without being ablo to swim; think of tho scores klllod ovory yoar by guns that woro supposed to bo not loaded. It would not bo so bad It tho reoklossness of individuals would ondangor thoir llvos alono. But that is not nlways tho caso. In many oases such porsons aro rockless with tho livos of othor porsons, as Is tho caso of tho switohmon of tho ElOvatod road, who loft his post during tho rush hour and, through his cnrelownoM J onuscd a terrlblo accident. It sooinsj that nn oxamplo should bo mado of, persons whoso reoklessnoss causes loss of llfo or Injury to others. It may not altogether stop others from taking ohanoes, 'but may havo at loast somo benefielal off oat. Typhoid fovor Is still prevailing In this alty,, particularly In Brooklyn, but tho backbono of tho epidemic sooms to bo broken and tho health authorities' aro confident of their ability to control tho spread of tho dlsoaso.

Botweon 70,000 and 80,000 children in New York ar& restricted to part tlmo instruction becauso thero is not roam enough for them In tho ovor crowded school housos. The board of education hopes to be ablo to redueo this number next month, but even if all the school buildings now in courso of construction should be completed by next month, thero wouldtill remain about 60,000 children for whom thero Is no room in tho schools. Unfortu natefy the lack of school accommoda tions is most deficient in those parts of the city where there is the greatest need for education.
