WOBLD MOVEMENT
Troubled Mexico ,
The ship of state in Mexico seems
la straits. No one knows who I the
ruler or If there is one in the country
at all. Orotco appears to be the tem
poral head, and he has just had .1
lesson In diplomacy from Uncle Sam
whose mall he has been Y opening.
Now, the old gentleman Is very pa
tlcular as to the privacy of bis cor
Taapoodtace, and may larrup the peon
txws if things like that continue very
far. They are planning to raise ten
millions of revenue by direct taxa
tlon of "liquor and other luxuries"
according to the wording of the lat

and in as great esteem as Florence

the same sort of aUruUm, the assist

The services of the latter were Eur-
awake, what scenes of indescribab'e
agony must the hopeless passengerf
and crew exhibited as they crowded
nearer aad nearer to the upper side
of the fast sloping deck awaiting the
certain pluoga of the greatest, bat
dying leviathan of the deep. Men, a
few women, possibly some children,
multimillionaires, miserable as pau

j sessions, all indiscriminately ana m
f extricably blended In the awful ca

Chinese Oaths
In their courts of justice the Chi
nese ,who have no one particular god
have a custom' whereby they decap
itate a chicken or break a dish. To
the uninitiated" American onlooker It
seems a heathen joke.: It is not S)
funny as it seeras. Its Intent Is one
of terror. . It Is understood by the
witness about to tetsify that If n9
tells an untruth his life Is to be for
feited like that of the cock, or to be
ruined as was the dish. It has mucn
more solemnity than some of our
oath-taktng people attach to theirs. A
judge In Portland has just this week
decided that, there shall be no more
chickens beheaded In his court, and
that the American custom of swearing
witnesses shall obtain. .
WeddJnir Fees :
In some oriental countries the
belles of fashion ride In their car-
rages with their naked feet expose-!
and the reason is that their toes are
embellished with diamond rings.
How about it now when1 the bon-to.t
of the female world begin to wear
these : precious stones on their shoe
heels? How will they display them?
Surely they are worn to be seen. Si
one seems to have set the pace in La

Xews Forecast for the fominir M'eek
Washington. D. C. April 20. The
coming week will afford something
of a breathing spell in the hard-fought
contests for the presidential nomina
tions. The conventions and primaries
to bo held will be neither so nmerons
nor so Important as those that have
marked the week Just closed. r .
The interest of the Republican pol
iticians will be confined largely lo
Missouri and Iowa, where State con
ventions are to be held for the selec
tion of delegates to the national con
vention at Chicago. The Roosevelt
claims appear to be the stronger so
far as Missouri Is concerned, though
the Taft managers are not ready to
concede that they have lost the state.
In Iowa, the Taft-people have strong
hopes of winning as a result of the
tween Roosevelt and Cummins.
The Republican state and district
conventions in Rhode Island will be
held Wednesday. The Taft people are
in control ot the regular party organ
ization and expert to win out In the
convention. A different situation ex
ists in New Hampshire, where Tues-
j day's primaries are expected to de-
jtcrmlne the complexion of the Renub-
J j Mean state convention. Governor Basi.
anu a strong progressive followlnz
in the Granite state are working harl
in the Roosevelt Interests. Encour
agement has been lent to their effort
ny me recem uoonereit victory In tne
neignooring state of Maine.
In pursuance ot a movement In-t
lated by President Taft, representa
Uvea of business oranlatlons
throuchout the country are to meei
In Washington Tuesday to dlscust-
plans for the formation of a "nation-
al board of trade." which shall have
men into touch with the government,
for advice and counsel in the admin
istration of laws, the enactment of
new statutes and the development of
commerce.
Among 'other' large and Important
gatherings of the week will be the
annual convention of the National Re
tall Grocers' Association, at Oklahoma
City, the annual meeting of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers' Associa
tion, in New York, and the annual
convention of the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' Association In Montgomery.
Of Interest In church and educa
t'onal circles will be the unveiling of
the statute of Bishop Carroll at
Georgetown University. Bishop Car
roll was the founder of the universi
ty and the first Catholic bishop and
archbishop In the United States.
The anniversary of the birth of
General Grant will be made the oc
casion for the customary memorial
exercises and banquets In various
narts- of the country next Saturday
President Taft is to speak at the Un
ion League Club banquet in Philadel
phia and Vice President Sherman will
be heard at a similar function to be
given under the auspices of the Amer
Icus Club at Pittsburgh. Archbishop
Ireland has accepted an Invitation to
deliver the annual oration at the mem
orial exercises in Galena, 111., the old
home of General Grant.
