GROWTH OF NATION
Trend of Events Toward a
Centralizsd Government.
SAYS SHAW AT GRANT BANQUET
An Isthmian Canal and an American
Merchant Marine "Will Give Vm
the Sovereignty ot
the Seas.
PITTSBURG, April 25. The sixteenth
annual dinner of the Americus Republi
can Club, of this city, in commemoration
of the birthday of General Ulysses S.
Grant, "was held at the Hotel Henry to
night, and because of the many bright
oratorical stars present -wasone of the
most brilliant of the many banquets giv
en by this well-known organization. P. C
Knox, Attorney-General of the United
States, officiated as toastmaster, and
among thone Reeled about him were I M.
Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury; H. C.
Payne, Postmaster-General; Congressman
Charles E. Llttlefield, of Maine, and John
P. Elkln, Attorney-General of Pennsyl
vania. Mr. Knox, after thanking the members
of the club and their guests for their cor
dial reception, said he was the bearer of
a message from President Roosevelt re
gretting his inability to be present. At
the toastmaster's suggestion, a standing
tcast was drunk to the health of the Pres
ident of the United States, which was
followed by a silent toast to the great
General in commemoration of whoso birth
the celebration wis held.
Congressman Llttlefleld responded to
the toast: "Grant." His eulogy was re
ceived with rapt attention, and at Its
conclusion Mr. Knox introduced I. M.
Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury, whose
response to the toast, "The Government
Evolution," was greeted with applause.
Secretary Shaw traced the development
of the country from colonial days down
to the present time, to show, as he said,
that "the trend of thought has been ever
toward a centralized Government." He
continued:
"There Is now pending In the United
States Courts a suit begun by a repre
sentative of the Executive Department
of this country to enjoin a great corpora
tion, organized under the laws of a cer
tain state, from owning, holding and vot
ing the capital stock and controlling the
poucy 01 certain transportation com
panies in a distant portion of the coun
try. "Without expressing an opinion as
to probable results, it is Interesting to
note that the most pronounced disciples
of state sovereignty complain not of this
action and utter no criticism than that
it should have been commenced earlier.
Note the demand for National regulation
of railways, of express companies, of
telegraph companies, of insurance and of
truhts. Note the demand for uniformity
in labor laws, divorce laws, Interest and
taxation laws. The trend of events and
the trend of thought seem to be still to
ward a greater and more centralized Gov
ernment. "As after the Civil "War the Nation
entered upon an extensive policy of In
ternational improvements, subsidizing, o
long as necessary, transcontinental llrfcs
of railway and permanently continuing
the subsidizing of rivers and harbors, so
after this late war we appear to be en
tering upon an equally -progressive pol
icy of external improvement. Not as the
crow- flies, but as ships sail. It Is nearer
from Liverpool to San Francisco via
Cape Horn than from New York to the
same port via the Southern extremity.
Start two ships of equal speed from Liv
erpool going to our Pacific Coast, one
through the Suez Canal and the other
by Cape Horn, and two vessels of the
same speed from New York, one going
westward and the other eastward, and
both English vessels will reach their des
tination before either of ours. Cut the
Isthmian Canal and It Is nearer from New
York to Hong Kong via Nicaragua than
from Liverpool to the same point via
Suez.
"Gentlemen, we must have the largest
merchant fleet ever kissed by ocean
breezes, and these carriers of Interna
tional commerce must be built of Ameri
can material, In American yards, by
American labor. They are to be manned
by American sailors; fired by American
coal or more probably oil, and they are
to float the Stars and Stripes. Whether
this will be accomplished through direct
aid or by American patriotism and by
American energy, I cannot say. Whether
this consummation shall be contributed
by statesmen or achieved by financiers
is immaterial, compared with the Impor
tance of the thing Itself. American
wealth, American energy, plus Hawaii,
which is ours; plus the Philippine Islands,
which are ours; plus the Isthmian Canal
which we shall surely construct; plus a
merchant marine, which we will surely
build, will transfer the sovereignty of
the Pacific) Ocean from the Union Jack
to the Stars and Stripes."
It was nearly midnight when H. C.
Payne, Postmaster-General, arose to
speak on "The Men of Our Times."
The time having approached so closely
to Sunday, Mr. Payne made appropriate
excuses, and, after singing "America,"
the banqueters adjourned.

THE DEATH ROLL.
Widow of Georgre Holland, Actor.
NEW YORK, April 26. Mrs. Katherlne
Holland, widow of George Holland, the
noted comedian, mother of Joseph, E. M.
and George Holland, la dead In this city
Her funeral will take tyace from tne
"Little Church Around the Corner." Sun
day. Her death revived recollections of the
manner In which the famous little vine
clad house of worship became so popular
with the -actors of this country, indeed, to
such an extent that the members of the
profession have come to look upon it as
their own.
Georsre Holland died in 1S70. Joseph
Jefferson was requested by the family to
make arrangements for the funeral. He
applied at a marble edifice on Fifth ave
nue, but was told that the actor's funeral
was not desired there. "There Is a little
church around the corner that does that
sort of thing," said the clergyman.
"Then, I say, God bless the little church
around the corner," replied Jefferson, and
successfully applied to the late Rev. Dr.
George H. Houghton, of tho Church of the
Transfiguration. As a result of this in
cident. Dr. Houghton's church has since
had the good-will of the theatrical profes
sion, and what was once a struggling par
ish has become a strong metropolitan
church.
Mrs. Jnlla A. Harper.
NEW YORK, April 26, Mrs. Julia A.
Harper, widow of James Harper, -founder
ef the .publishing' firm ot Harper & Bros.,
of New York, in 1S4-M5, is dead ct her

BORDER STATES HISTORY
PART THEY PLAYED DURING THE
CIVIL WAR,
Chnmp Clark's Speech, at a. Grant
Birthday Gelebratloa at
Jfew York.
NEW YORK, April 2fl. The anniver
sary of General Grant's birthday was cel
ebrated tonight by the members and
guests of the Grant Monument Associa
tion with a banquet given at the Waldorf
Astoria. Prominent military men and
National politicians from all sections of
the country were present. General G. M.
Dodge tv as toastmaster. At the guests
table were General Dodge, Senator Bur
rows, of Michigan; Congressman Wat
son, of Indiana; Congressman Champ
Clark, of Missouri; General Thomas H.
Hubbard, of New York; General Anson
G. McCook, Major-General John R.
Brooke, Major-General O. O. Howard,
Rev. Dr. Robert a MacArthur, Colonel
A. L. Mills, Major-General James R. Wll
son. Governor William H. Taft, of the
.......
.........f
Philippine Islands, and Cornelius N. Bliss.
Toasts were responded to as follows:
"Grant." James B. Wilson; "Victory."
Senator Burrows; "The Border States
During the Civil War," Champ Clark, and
"Let Us Have Peace," General Hubbard.
Toastmaster Dodge read a letter writ
ten in behalf of Mrs. Grant, In which she
regretted her Inability to be present. A
toast to the President was then proposed.
Congressman Clark's address follows:
"It Is generally assumed by the wise
acres who write the histories that In the
border atates the old, wealthy, prominent
slave-holding families all adhered to the
Confederacy, and that only the poor, the
obscure natives and the Immigrants from
the North stood by the old flag. This is
a serious mistake. The great historic
dominant family connections divided.
Prominent people wore the Confederate
gray. Others, Just as prominent, wore
the Union blue."
He enumerated the family divisions on
the war Issue of the Brecklnrldges, Han
sons, Clays and Crlttendens, told of the
loyalty for the Union of John Marshall
Harlan. Lovell H. Rouseau and Benjamin
H. Brlstow, and continued:
"It is safe to say that had none of the
great families, none of the slave-holders
stood for the Union, Kentucky, Missouri
and Maryland would have seceded, and If
they had gone with the South unanimous
ly, the Confederacy would have achieved
its Independence. This brings me to the
central idea of this speech the main fact
of which I never think without anger
and resentment, for I believe that Justice
should be done, even In writing history,
though the heavens fall, and it is this:
Population considered, Kentucky and Mis
souri sent more soldiers to the Civil War
than any other states, and received les3
credit for It. They were splendid soldiers,
too. Theodore Roosevelt says that by ac
tual measurement the Kentucky soldiers
were the finest specimens of physical
manhood who were In the Federal arm
ies; and when Jefferson Davis, himself a
renowned soldier, reviewed the army at
Corinth, he declared Cockrell's Missouri
brigade to be the most magnificent sol
diers his trained military eye had ever
gazed upon.
"It is said that figures will not lie, and
here they are: To the Union armies, Mis
souri contributed 109.111 soldiers; Ken
tucky, 7S.E60; Maryland, 46,638; Tennessee.
31,092; and West Virginia. 32,06S-maklng
a grand total of 291,669. Suppose that
George H. Thomas had gone with his
state, as all his brothers In arms from
Virginia did, and that when Pickett made
his spectacular charge at Gettysburg,
Thomas had, in the nick of time, rein
forced him with 291.C69 veterans. Kentuck
lans, Missourlans. Marylanders, West Vir
ginians and Tennesseeans, then fighting in
the Union armies, can any human being
fall to understand what would have been
the result?"
The speaker expressed the conviction
that the declaration of Lincoln In his first
Inaugural address that he had no Inten
tion to Interfere with slavery In the states
where It already existed held the border
states faithful to the Lnion.
The speaker concluded his address by
relating a number of Instances of daring,
heroism and cruelty In the border states.
Governor Taft and Senator Hanna, who
were present, were not called on to
speak.
Site for Montana Bnlldingr.
ST. LOUIS. April 25. The Montana Com
mission to the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion has selected a site for Its state build
ing on the plateau where other state com
missions before thetn have located their
edifices. The site selected is west of those"
chosen previously, and cloeely adjoining
the Missouri State Building.

WRECKING OF A BANK.
Frank C. Flnsrree Testifies at the
Examination of the Andrews.
DETROIT, April 26. Frank C. Pingree,
president of the wrecked City Savings
Bank, was called to the witness stand to
day at the examination of Frank C. and
Henry R. Andrews, vice-president and
cashier respectively of the bank, who are
charged with causing its ruin. Mr. Pin
gree testified that last July the directors
discovered that the bank was holding
some of Frank C Andrews' paper which
they had not approved. Pingree said he
talked the discovery over with Frank C.
Andrews, and told him that If the bank
was going to be robbed he (Pingree) did
not want to have anything to do with it,
but would resign.
"Andrews," said Mr. Pingree, "said ho
would not take the presidency If I would
resign. He added that If I resigned he
would, and If I wanted the bank to go
down all I had to do was to resign."
After a heated argument, Andrews final
ly agreed to sell his real estate and
straighten out the affairs. Mr. Pingree
said that Andrews told him they could
sell the City Savings Bank by Fall, as
there were two banks that wanted to
buy it.
ATTE3IPT TO WRECK A TUNNEL.
Evidence of Dynamiters Work at
Niagara Falls.
NIAGARA FALLS, April 26. As the
night shift went to work last evening In
the tunnel of- the Canadian Power Com
pany, discovery was made of an attempt
to wreck the tunnel and kill the men, 30
in number, working 160 feet below the
surface of the earth. The shaft leading
down to the tunnel Is 100 feet deep. From
the bottom of the shaft the tunnel runs
north and south, and men are working at
both headings. The blasts are discharged
by means of batteries, which are operated
at tho foot of the shaft, the wires extend
ing to the headings.
One of the "nipper" boys discovered that
one of the batteries had been cut and a
cartridge cap connected and placed In a
stick of dynamite. This dynamite had
been placed between two boxes of dyna
mite, letting 75 pounds of the material
down to the cap. Had the explosion oc
curred the havoc wrought would havo
been fearful. No motive can be ascei
talned for the plot.
IRONWORKERS CELEBRATE
Committee Reports Will Be Made to
the Convention Monday.
WHEELING, W. Va., April 26. Not
withstanding an overcast sky, cooler
weather and occasional showers, the
Union ironworkers of the trl-state ra
dius came to Wheeling this morning
by thousands. Following a parade the
crowds assembled at Wheeling Park,
where addresses were made by Governor
White, of West Virginia- President Shaffer
and Assistant Secretary Tighe, of the
Amalgamated Association, and others.
No session of the association was held
today, but on Monday the reports of the
committees will be made to the conven
tion, after which several pretty contests
will be Inaugurated upon the floor. Fore
most among these will be that on the
wage scale. The majority report of the
committee, that the action of the National
officers in signing the scales in advance
of the convention be indorsed, probably
will be adopted; but not without a strong
fight for the adoption of the minority re
port, which takes no exception to the
scales in themselves, but registers consti
tutional objections.
Late Information Is that the Federation
of Labor's representative, H. P. Flynn,
will not be accorded the support of the
convention for making an attack on Shaf
fer in return for the latter's strictures on
Gompers. If Flynn is not accorded a hear
ing. It is said Gompers will make a pub
lic statement through the press of his at
titude during the 1901 strike.

LIBERTY AND DEATH!
Southern Oregon Heifer Wild la the
Woods for Ten 3Ionfhs,
From her sunny southern home on the
eastern slopes of the Slsklyous ten months
ago came a comely heifer of perfect
points, clipper built and with the Jersey
strain prominently predominating. Dur
ing the two years of hor young life she
had been aimlessly standing around with
her hands in her pockets, cropping the
rich grasses and browsing on the aspens
and wine-maples, and running out on the
range all the year round.
Llfo was Indeed a dream with this wild,
free creature until she was rounded up
and "turned oft'' with a bunch of cattle,
and then came the crowding onto cars
and the long railroad ride and the jolts
and jars and sudden stops, and at the
end the plank floors and the high fences
and the water In troughs and the electric
glare to sleep with at Portland's- Union
Stock Yards, and the dreams of native
pastures and running brooks and lost lib
erty. Soon the bunch of cattle were started
down Kalama-way, but the half-breed Jer
sey heifer scented liberty and 'risked her
all to secure It. She broke for the hills,
and reached them In spite of all efforts to
head her.
And there In the rough woods back of
Willamette Heights she ranged for ten
months, wild as the deer her Jersey strain
came from. The stockyards men knew
she was in the hills and that her tracks
were sometimes seen at the clearjng's
edge, but they were made at night and
their author disappeared at daybreak. Ef
forts to trap her proved fruitless, and
she led one of the lives of the bunted.
But priceless liberty was hers, and she
retained It by etprnal vigilance, as per
the advice given her years ago by John
Phllpot Curran.
But this week the stockyards people or
dered her captare. and three of them
went out on their trained horses and with
expert Scotch coljies. and found her.
The dogs took uo her trail and ran her.
Young Girls
Are often engaged in doing, the work of
a home under the most trying condi

stooping and lifting, the running up and

when labor should

overstrain or self
neglecttrader these

A Congressman's Letter.
Hon. H. W. Ogden, Congressman from
Louisiana, In a letter written at Wash
ington, D. C, says the following of Pe
runa, the National catarrh remedy:
and she circled the hill just like a deer.
Too rough It was for a horse, so Carl
Banks went into the jungle afoot, and
came onto a trail just as tho heifer
charged along it, bayed by the dogs. The
way she treed him was highly exciting.
But tho dogs tied to her and Anally
forced her Into a clearing, and the mount
ed cowmen lassoed her and pulled her
back to the stockyards. And then it was
seen that there was a calf in the case, and
after the fashion of wild range cows, Its
mother had hidden It out In the brush. In
a search next day It was found and re
stored to Its mother at the yards. Its
father came not .forward to share Its sup
port, and practically Ignored It3 existence.
The bossy calf was the only tlo that
bound the wild young cow, and her
mother-love was as atrong as In the most
refined of womanhood. But against man
and everything else on earth except lib
erty she was hostile O, so hostile! Her
eyes flashed fire, and she charged against
the fence when a man appeared on the
opposite filde. An abundance of good hay
was placed upon her banquet board, but
she refused to partake, and declined to
crook the pliant hinges of her knee, that
feed might follow fawning.
Fast falling away to a shadow was the
liberty-loving creature who refused to be
tamed, and then a butcher bought her.
and at the crack of his rifle she was
dropped In her tracks. And as her light
went out, well might she murmur: "O lib
erty, what sufferings are connected with
they name."
And today the comely, graceful heifer of
10 montha ago, the lithe-limbed bovine
belle of the SIskiyous, is lean, pinkish
sausage on the butcher's block, and the
orphan calf, well, 15 cents a pound In
cutlets, with all the romance gone. R.

Treat Cntnrrh. in Spring:.
The Spring Is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet Winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna

tho cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures If Peruna 13

As a systemic catarrh remedy, Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever It may be located. It cures
catarrh of the stomach or Rowels with
the same certainty as catarrh of the head.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
