MODEL OF PATRIOT
Hoar Holds Up Washington
in That Character.
HIS COUNSEL NOT FORGOTTEN
Aged Senator SicaUit at Banqntt In
Honor fit IVnulilnitton nt Chlcdco
nnd 1'rtjcs Nnllon to Turn From
Military Glorr.
CHICAGO. Feb. 23. The anniversary o
tbo birth of George Washington was Gen
erally observed In Chicago today, the
principal celebration being that under the
auspices of the Union League Club this
afternoon in the Auditorium. Senator
George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, was
the orator of the lay and delivered a
eulogy upon Washington before an aud
ience of 4OD0 people. Ills address was In
part as follows:
"Edward Everett In a great address be
fore the war called on his countrymen,
as it seemed for a time, in time, to for
get, to turn a deaf ear to unpatriotic
counseto, to fhe mad cry of treason and
disunion and return once more to the
patriotic counsel of Washington. It
seemed for a time as if the appeal were
unheeded. But the spasm of popular
roadnefs end rase passed by and Wash
ington resumed h!n place again as our
eupreme counsellor and leader. He became
once more the example and Idol of every
American soldier and statesman and the
farewell address became once again the
political Bible of every American.
"Doubt not that this shall occur again
and again. Other temptations will come
to us and party spirit, like Satan sitting
at the ear of Eve, will epeak again Its
baleful counsel in the car of the people.
Popular excitement will be kindled by the
lust of empire and passion for conquest.
The eyes of the people may be dazzled
for a 'time by a false and tinsel military
glory. But while the portrait of Wash
ington hangs in every village; while his
statues adorn our chief cities; while hia
monument is found In every state; whllb
his life Is on the ehelf of every home;
while the detail of his great career Is
studied In every university; while his
image is in the heart of every youth, the
people will come back again to the wife,
sober and Just counsel, in following which
Iks the path to a true glory and a true
safety. The American will never long go
astray, so long as to every great question
of National policy or National duty they
know what Washington would say.
"The orator of today puts his emphasia
on glory, on empire, on power, on wealth.
We live under, and love and we still shed
our heart's blood for the same flag which
floated over our fathers, and for which
they were ready to die. But It sometimes
stemd that the flag has a different mean
ing, whether It floats over the capitol or
the ilp of war, or the regiment on the
march, or the public assembly. We no
longer speak of It, except coldly and
formally, as the symbol of liberty, but
only as the symbol of power, or of a
false, cheap, tinsel glory. I think the
popular' reverence for Washington and
Lincoln and for Sumner and for Webster
la not abated. But yet few political
speakers quote today the great sentences
which made them famous, or the great
principles to which they devoted their
lives.
"The fate of the Nation depends In the
last Tcsort on individual character.' Every
thing In human government, like every-''
thing in Individual conduct, depends. In
the end, upon the sense of duty. What
ever safeguards may be established, how
ever complicated or well adjusted the
mechanism, you come to a place some
where where safety depends upon some
body having' the will to do right when It
Is in his power and may bo to his Interest
to do wrong. When the people were
considering the adoption of the Constitu
tion of the United States, one of our
winest statesmen said the real and only
security for a republic is when the rule.-
have the same interest as the people. If
they have not. constitutional restraints
will break down somewhere, except ror
the sense of duty of the rulers."
In the evening the principal event was
the banquet at the Union League Club,
where Senator Hoar was the guest of
honor. Other speakers of the evening
were: President Bancroft, of the Union
League Club; President Eliot, of Harvard
University; Rev. Frank W. Guneaulus and
Biehop Galler, of Tennessee.
AMERICAN BAXCMJET IJf LOXDOX.
British Statesmen Extol Roosevelt
and Hear St. Louis Talk.
LONDON. Fob. 23. The dinner given
tonight by the American Society In hon
or of Washington's birthday was the
occasion for a brilliant assemblage, the
chief feature of which was the welcome
given to B, E. Francis, president of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and
the wishes of success to the Exposition
expressed by the speakers. The Duke
of Devonshire and Lord Londonderry,
members of the Cabinet, officially voiced
the good will of the British government,
while such representative Englishmen as
the Lord Mayors of London and Bristol,
the Lord Provost of Glasgow, Lord
Strathcona and Lord Rothschild and the
following members of the House of
Commons gave expression to their good
wishes: Sir Charles Dllke, J. H. Dalzlel,
Sir Thomas Dewar, Sir Joseph Lawrence.
Ebenezer Parker, Sir Gilbert Parker and
Joseph Walton.
Among the well-known Americans pres.
ent were Ambassador Choate, Consul
Gcneral Evans. SUnford Newell. Minis
ter to The Netherlands; John Barrett,
T. W. Crldler, Lord Fairfax, Melville E.
Stone, all the United States Embassy
staff and many foreign representatives
of the St. Louis Exposition.
The Duke of Devonshire, in proposing
the toast. "The President of the United
States," referred to Mr. Roosevelt as a
man who had mide his mark as a suc
cessful civil reformer, a great administra
tor, a gallant military leader and an emi
nent statesman, in whom he saw an In
telligent and earnest friend of EngUnd.
"Never in any previous time," said the
iuko of Devonshire, "have Anglo-Saxon
relations been more cordial. Both peo
ples are in fairly good humor with themselves,-
and so it is unlikely that they
should be in a bad humor with each
other. I welcome the tendency on the
part of the United States to take a
Urger and keener interest In affairs out
side the American continent."
Ambassador Choate, following in the
same strain, declared that any kind of
war on any kind of subject between Great
Britain and America would not be only a
great calamity, but an unspeakable crime.
Mr. Francis eloquently described the
motive and scope of the St. Louis Exposi
tion. He gave detailed figures showing
the care with which the money was ex
pended to make every phase of the exhi
bition perfect and Useful to the European
exhibitors and -visitors; In short, "a gold
en milestone in the highway of human
progress and a coronation of civilization."
He referred to the first great international
exhibition In London. Since then, Mr.
Francis continued. England has always
been fully represented at ci'ery universal
exposition. He urged that the country
should not be behindhand at St. Louis,
where, he said, "no guest would be more
welcome."
"I feel some delicacy." he continued, "In
referring to our consanguinity as a motive
which should' impel you to be an active
participant at the feast pf which your
kinsmen are the host. "Nor would it be
becoming in the president of the universal
exhibition to designate as the seat of
honor the place at the table to be occupied
by the mother country. You need no as
surance, however, from the exposition
management, from the head of our Gov
ernment or from the American people that
no one would honor us more nor any one
be given precedence over you. We feel
Justified in predicting that the attendance
at the exhibition will not only be universal
from within the limits of our country, but
that the citizens of every civilized country
on the globe will visit us In representative
numbers, attracted as they will be. not
only by the merit of the exhibition, but by
the desire to see in their own abode a
people who within the past half decade
have started out upon a new policy, taken
up new problems and assumed new re
sponsibilities; a people whose example and
Influence command and merit observance
and study, a people whose reputation for
hospitality is whole-souled and prover
bial." John Barrett proposed the health of tho
"British Exhibitor," and in the course of
his remarks urged the United Kingdom to
make of tho St. Louis Exposition another
Durbar.
Lord Londonderry and Sir Edward Kohn
Poyntcr, president of the Royal Academy,
replied, promising their assistance in mak
ing the exhibition a success.

persons were present.
SULTAN HAS BACKED DOWN

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 23. Tewflk
Pasha, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
notified the Austro-Hungarlan and Rus
sian Ambassadors today that the Sultan
had agreed to adopt the scheme for reform
in Macedonia.
-WIIAT THE POWERS PROPOSE.
Fair Taxntlon, Reform of Gendarmes
ami Equality or Christians.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 23. The Iden
tical note on the subject of reforms In
Macedonia, presented to the Grand Vlzler
Saturday by the Austro-Hungarlan and
Russian Ambassadors, was translated
Into Turkish and handed to the Sul
tan the same evening. The powers recom
mend. In addition to tho appointment of
tan Inspector general of gendarmerie for
three years, wun ampte powers 10 u
Independently, and to requisition troops
in case of emergency and the re-organization
of the gendarmerie nnd police under
European Instructors, that Christians be
admitted Into tho gendarmerie in numbers
proiiortlonatc to the population without
being required tq read and write the Turk
ish language. Amnesty Is also demanded
for all persons who have been arrested
for political offenses.
Tho scheme for administration and
financial reforms In Macedonia, as pro
posed by the powers, besldo planning a
more equitable collection of taxes, pro
vides that local expenses shall be a first
charge on the revenues of each vilayet.
In the event of there being a surplus this
may be sent to Constantinople. Measures
are also demanded for compelling the Al
banians to respect the laws.
The power which It is proposed to give
to the inspector general of gendarmerie,
whose appointment or recall and whose
successor must be confirmed by the pow
ers, thus virtually detaching him from the
direct control of the authorities at Con
stantinople, Is almost sure to encounter
opposition from the Turkish government.
The latter also will most likely object to
the proposed financial arrangements and
to the basis on which it is planned to re
cruit the gendarmerie, which, wero the
suggestions of the powers carried out.
would in several districts be practically
entirely composed of Christians owing to
their predominance in certain parts of
Macedonia. It is understood, however,
that the powers are detemlned to admit
of no modification of the reform scheme,
that they demand Its application without
delay and that they are prepared to adopt
rigid measures to Insure its being scrupu
lously carried out.
An Imperial trade has been Issued au
thorizing the Turkish Minister of War to
purchase ten additional maxima.
ITALIAX POLICY DECLARED.
Will Work for Peace, hut Ju Ready
for Action.
ROME, Feb. 23. Minister of Marine
Morin. replying to an Interpellation in the
Chamber of Deputies today on the sub
ject of reforms In Macedonia, said that
Italy was co-operating with the powers
with n view to the maintenance of peace.
The time that, was coming was indeed
serious, he continued, but It would be a
decisive period for Eastern Europe. If
the Bulgarian government adhered to Its
determination to abolish centers of agita
tion, and If the Porte filled Its engage
ments with Europe, tho present crisis
might lead to a peaceful solution. But
if, contrary to anticipation, the combined
action of the powers prove unable to
stifle the conflagration, the Italian gov
ernment would certainly not confine Itself
to the role of a mere spectator. It would
see that no attack was made on the rights
and Interests of Italy.

The fourth victim was not killed out
right, but was so badly burned that he
died within a short time. He was un
able to make any statement and had
strength enough only to give his name.
The Injured are:
JOHN FERGUSON. Cleveland; engi

WILLIAM FISH. Cleveland; engineer

The passenger train was quite heavily
peopled. rnd many of the passengers were
school superintendents and teachers on
their way to Cincinnati to attend a meet
ing of school directors and teachers In
that city.
The unfortunate mall clerks were caught
Ilka rata In a trap within their car, which
Immediately caught fire, and, being locked

The scene of the wreck Is but a few

samo delegations acknowledged that
there should be some stimulation to
American shlp-bulldlng, and generally ,
favored the plan of discriminating duties,
which they will press at the next Con- ,
gress. Cannon, of Illinois, was in sym-
pathy with tho Western members who
opposed the subsidy bill, and, as Speaker
of the next Congress, will bs able to
wield great power against Its considera

At a meeting of the committee today, I
Representative Jones offered 90 amend- j
ments to the bill, alt but three of which 1
were rejected, tho Democrats, with

againt their adoption. These amend
ments, Mr. Jones says, were Intended to
guarantee tho building of new ships and
the establishment of new lines. Upon
examination. It Is found they would al
most utterly destroy the purposes of the
present bill. In brief, he proposed to cut '
the term for which subsidy should be '
granted from IS to ten years, to limit
subsidies to vessels built after ihe pas-j
sage of the act. Increase the speed and
size of first-class vessels from 10,000 tons
and 3) knots speed to over 13,000 tons and
over St knots, to take In a new class of
vessels of 12 knots. Increase the pay of
first-class boats, cut off subsidies to
boats plying to the Philippines, and ex
clude from the benefits of subsidy all
vessels ten years old and, all oil-tank
steamers. He furthermore proposed a
discriminating duty of 10 per cent ad
valorem on goods Imported In foreign
bottoms, whether the goods are free or
dutiable, to apply after April 1, ISO!, and
stipulated that no goods or merchandise,
unless provided for by future treaty,
shall be Imported from foreign ports ex
cept In American vessels or ships belong
ing to the country where the goods orig
inate. By applying the Sherman anti-trust act
to the subsidy act. he proposed to de

tho benefit of subsidy, and by another
HOT ATTACK ON BRODRICK
Drltlsb Army Reform Scheme Con
demned. LONDON. Feb. Xhe criticism of the
British AVar Office culminated in the
Hourc of Commons today In a motion for
a vote of censure against Secretary of
War Brodrlck. The motion was in the
shape of an amendment to the address In
reply to the speech from the throne, re
gretting the fact that the "organization
of the army was not suited to the needs
of tho empire and that no proportionate
gnln In strength or efficiency had -resulted
from the recent increase of military
expenditure."
The motion was Identical with an amend
ment moved by Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-ncrman.
the Liberal leader, when Mr.
Brodrlck Introduced his army reform
scheme In 1901. Today, however, the vote
of censure was proposed by Mr. Beckett,
nn Influential Conservative, who was sup
ported by a considerable section of revolt
ing Unionists. In introducing the motion.
Mr. Beckett declared that Mr. Brodrlck
had deplorably neglected the greatest op
portunity ever given to a minister, and
had produced a scheme which was not
only unsound In principle, but was ruin
ous in practice and enormously costly.
Major Zeley, Conservative, Sir Charles
Dllke. Advanced Radical, and. others,
having spoken In denunciation of the War
Office, declaring the country was "tired
of its policy of mess and muddle." Mr.
Brodrlck replied. He said he welcomed
a direct attack, and defended his policy
heatedly, if not very convincingly. He
ridiculed the suggestion that Great Brit
ain could depend on a citizen army, which
he described as a "mob of volunteers."
and pleaded to be given time to carry out
his army corps scheme, as the result of
which "the army for the first time In
living memory is above Its supposed full
strength in every branch except the In
fantry." Mr.. Brodrlck made. It Is generally ad
mitted, a better defense of his army
scheme than had been expected, but,
whatever may be the result of tomorrow's
division on the motion, the debate revealed
that the temper of the country will al
most Inevitably compel the government to
modify its plans. In brief, the nation Is
not prepared to spend J150.000.COO annually
on the army against the $100,000,000 hither
to spent on that service. Mr. Brodrlck
argued for the additional KQ.000,000 to get
an extra 00,000 men. His opponents reply
that there Is no need for such a large
army at the' risk of starving the navy.
Sir Edward Grey put the case pointedly
when he said that the country could afford
to give up only a certain number of men to
the profession of arms, and that the army
and navy must be taken together. He
could not Imagine any war on land requir
ing such a large army.
Great Interest Is taken In the question.
The government's organs admit, as did
Mr. Brodrlck himself, the possibility of
modification of the government's plans.
Winston Churchill will resume tomorrow
an adjourned debate. It Li stated In the
lobby of the House tonight that the Na
tionalists will either support the govern-

not tq prejudice the government's Irish

Brodrlck. It Is even stated that there is

ment and the Irish members by which
the establishment of a Catholic university
In Ireland will be conceded.
Rumore have been In circulation during
the last few days that Mr. Brodrlck will
resign. In order to becomo successor to
Lord Curzon as Viceroy" of India. It ap
pears, however, that there Is no founda
tion for these reports.
The fenrs that the government might be
defeated on the Brodrlck amendment in
the House of Commons were made the
most of early In the day by the bears, who
apparently Influenced the sharp relapse
which occurred on the stock exchange.

When we advertise a special cut price
on pianos and organs, tho people realize
It Is no scheme to attract trade. They
have long since learned that we do not
barter In the "thump-box" business by
handling stenciled goods under various
names that the purchasing public have
no knowledge of. and that are made of
soft wood, painted casts, with celluloid
kc-ys and painted sharps, and the cheapest
of cheap actions. Most people that buy
pianos know very little of the construc
tion nnd merits of a piano unless It be
some special favorite, and that Is why the
thump-box has found such a wide field. A
pl.ino is one of the most essential things
of. the home, and as we are giving our
time, money and energy tq that business,
our object is to raise the standard and
give to our customers goods that are
worthy the name. So when you buy a
piano of us, you can rest assured it Is of a
standard reputation. And can be thorough-,
ly relied upon as to tone, quality and
durability. This month, owing to reasons
already stated, we started out to unload
ten cars that had been delayed In ship

CIRCUMCISION Skillfully and Painlessly PERFORMED
Contracted Disorders, Acute or Chronic
Under the. treatment pursued before Irrigations -were established, six
weeks were considered the duration of an acute contracted disorder. If It
proceeded beyond sdx weeks It was considered to have gone Into chronic
condition. From statistics complied from cur practice In the past Ave
years, covering over 6M0 cases, we can show that 90 per cent of our patients
have recovered In It days or less. It Is. therefore, equally proper to hold
that a case not entirely cured wHhln two weeks must be considered a
chronic one, and- some complication has arisen for which the patient should
see a specialist.
