CASTOR I A for Infanta and Children. Iz Kind Yon liars Always Eool ARREST OF NINE MEMBERS OF LOWER HOUSE CREATES SENSATION. TOKIO, April 16 A tremendous sensation developed here today with the arrest of nine members of the lower house of the Diet, the nature of the charges being withheld. It is be lieved, however, that bribery in con nection with the recent difficulties of the Japanese Sugar Company is al leged and there is great unrest in the capital as it is stated that some mem bers of the upper House are liable to arrest also. A few weeks ago charges of fraud were brought against certain of the directors of the sugar company, which is a big concern capitalised at $12,000 000. The directors resigned and an investigation of the affairs of the company followed. A series of ques tionable transactions was disclosed and the stock dropped from fifty to sixty points as a result of the expos ure, a large number of people, includ ing many foreigners, meeting financ ial ruin in the slump. The affair started an outcry of the the peopte and press which resulted in the prosecution of the directors In volved. These men were all high in. commercial and political circles. When the nine members of the Lower House were taken into cus tody today the charges against them were not made public, but owing to the connection of the defendant direc tors with politics, it is generally be lieved that the investigation of the sugar company resulted in the ex posure of bribery in the diet. The members arrested all belong to the Seiyu-Kai, the predominant party in both houses of the Diet. The arrests and the belief that fur ther rarest are to follow have caused consternation in Tot in nnlinVnt nnt commercial circles. POLITICAL ft SOCIAL SCIENCE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa..

Va,L t, n piayrrs iu.m iv im ; . j opportunity to see in a long time ap-. penred on the stage of the New York ; Theater this afternoon at a big tcti- j inonial performance given for the benefit of Mis Clara Morris, whom the older playgoers remember as one j of the famous actresses of her day. j The Twelfth Night Club organised j ! the benefit for Miss Morn, who of i late has been ill and pressed with debts. Among the wll known acton and actresses who contributed their ser vices to the performance were E. H. Sothern, Wilton Lackaye. Frank Ar den, Henry Miller, Chaunccy Olcott, Lawrence D'Orsay. Virginia Harned, Grace George, Francis Starr. EUie Janis. Eleanor Moretti and Elita Proctor Otis. Miss Morris herself appeared in a short scene from "Mac beth" and was given an enthusiastic reception. Clara Morris, who is now in her sixtieth year, retired from the stage about ten yearn ago on account of ill health. She is a native of Toronto but was educated in Cleveland and made her first stage appearance at the Academy of Music in that city in 1861. She advanced rapidly in the profession and in 1869 became leading woman at Wood's Theater in Cincin nati. The following year she joined Augustin Daly's company at the Ffth Avenue Theater and here she became famous in emotional roles. Probably her most famous portrayal was that of "Camille," in, which she was seen in all of the principal cities of Ameri ca. CONTEST OF ORATORS. WASCO, Tex-, April 16.-Large delegations of students from the lead ing colleges and universities of this State have arrived here to attend the State Intercollegiate Oratorical Con test to be held her today. There has been unusual rivalry this year among the various colleges and universities and the outcome of today's contest is awaited with more than the usual in terest. Some of the colleges are re presented by nearly their entire body of students, who arrived here in spec ial trains from their respective local ities. 1 he contest will take place this, evening and the following colleges will be represented by contestants; Austin College. Fort Worth Univer sity, Polytechnic College, Trinity University, Texas Christian Univer sity, Southern University and the University of Texas. The Human Appetite. Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre liable, treacherous, exacting things 'n the world, the human appetite for the right thing to eat is, perhaps, the most unreasonable and imperious There are those who humor it; oth ers who defy it; and all men are more or less inclined to treat it with con sideration- To find a place where these varying attitudes may be fos tered, at the least cost in each case, and yet keep the appetite in proper and peaceful subjection, is always desirable information. One place that is conceded as perfectly adapted Xi this, is the Palace Restaurant, just opposite the Page building, on Com mercial street, in this city. Try !t once, and patronize it always; that is the rule of the Palace. Foley's Honey and Tar is a safe guard against serious results from spring colds, which inflame the lungs and develop into pneumonia. Avoid counterfeits by insisting upon having the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar, which contains no harmful drugs. Owl Drug Store, T. F. Laurin. TODAY Fifty snappy New Spring Suits sacrifi ced.
