I Philadelphia, Special Commeration of Washington's birthday j by the University of Pennsylvania jwas made notable by the fact that represen tatives of three .world powers partici pated in the exercises, as follows: jThe United States, represented by ! the Chief Executive of the nation, Presi dent Roosevelt; Germany, represented by Baron Von Speek Sternberg, am. bassador to this country, who acted as the personal representative of Emper or William, and Sir Henry Mortimer , Durand, the British ambassador. -The occasion was marked by one of the - most enthusiastic demonstrations ever -witnessed in the Academy of Music, "where the exercises were held. Presi dent Roosevelt was the orator of the day, his theme being "Some Maxims f Washington." The degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon the President, the Ger man Emperor, the British ambassador, Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark, United States navy; United States Senator Philander C. Knox, and David T. Wat-, son, a distinguished lawyer of Pitts burg. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the j poet and author, received the . degree of letters, and upon Robert Simpson , Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institute, was conferred the degree of doctor of science. Baron Von Speck Sternberg received the degree for Em- - per or William. , When the President appeared on the Stage the band played "Hail to the Chief," and the entire assemblage arose and cheered for nearly five min utes. It was a splendid ovation and . the President smiled his- appreciation, bowing his acknowledgement at its conclusion. As each candidate was presented by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell for the degree, he -was greeted by the students with lusty "hoorays" and college cries. During bis address, the President was repeat edly cheered, and his reference to-the navy, which he addressed directly to Admiral Clark, who sat on his -left, -k aroused great enthusiasm. The Pres ident spoke in part as follows: THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. . . As a1 nation we have had our full .share of great men, but the two men of pre-eminent greatness who, as the centuries go on, will surely loom above : all others, are Washington and Lin coin; and it is particularly fitting that their birthdays should be celebrated every year and the meaning of their lives brought home close to us. No other city in the country is so closely identified with Washington's career as Philadelphia. He served here in 1775 in. the Continental Congress. He was. here as commandec of the army at the time of the battle of Brandy wine and Germantown; and it was near here that with that army he faced the . -desolate winter at Valley Forge, the winter which marked the turning point of the Revolutionary war. Here he came again a? president of the con- yention which framed the constitution and then as President of the United States, and finally as lieutenant general of the army, after he had retired from .the presidency. One hundred Ctnd eight years ago ."just before he left the presidency, he issued his farewell address, and in it he laid down certain' principles, which -he believed should guide the citizens of this republic for all time to come, bis own words being, "which appear "to me all-important to the permanency --of your felicity as a people." Washington, though in some ways an - even greater man than Lincoln, did not Ji have Lincoln's wonderful gift of ex pression that gift which makes cer - tain speeches of the rail-splitter from Illinois, read like the inspired utter ances of the great Hebrew seers and prophets. 'But he had all of Lincoln's -sound common sense, far-sightedness, and devotion to a lofty ideal. , Like Lincoln, he sought after them by thor oughly practical methods. These two greatest Americans can fairly be called the best among the great men of the -world, and greatest among the good -men of the world. j Each showed in actual practice his capacity to secure under our system the priceless union of individual liberty; with governmental strength. Each was as free from the -vices of the tyrant! a3 from the vices of the demagogue. iTo eacn the empty futility of the mere doctrinaire was as alien as the baseness of the merely self-seeking politician. Each was in caDable alike of the wickedness which seeks by "force of arms to wrong others and of the no less criminal weakness which fails to provide effectively against being wronged by others. Among Washington's maxims which he bequeathed to his countrymen were the two following: "Observe good faith' . and justice toward all nations," and "To be prepared for war is the most effective means to promote peace." These two principles 'taken togetner should form the basis of our whole for eign policy. Neither is sufficient taken hy itself. It' is not merely an idle dream, but a most mischievous dream, to belieVa that mere refraining from wrongdoing will insure tis against being wronged. Yet, on the other haiid, a nation prepared for war is a menace to mankind unless the national purpose is to treat other nations with good faith and justice. - FROM DR. HOHENZOLLERN. "Dr. Charles C.

The photo George had taken at $5 per dozen to give to his various girls and Ballets From the Billy. The policeman in a street scrap gen erally endeavors to make use of his club as a primary means of defense, and resorts only to his pistol when it is absolutely necessary. It frequently happens that at the moment when the officer of the law decides that he must make use of the shooter, he is not al ways able to get it, being too busy in warding off the blows of his adver sary in the little contest which he has on hand. His pistol under these cir cumstances is as useless as if it were miles away, and for the purpose of answering an emergency of this kind, a recent invention combines the club policeman's club and pistol. and the pistol in such a manner that they are both available as the exigen- cies of the occasion demand. The implement consists oli two parts, the mace and the handle. The latter is supplied with a hammer mechanism and with a handle which does well for either purpose. N Between these two parts it is possible to fit a cylinder with cartridge-carrying chambers, so that an officer desiring to be armed for any emergency may do so by fitting and loading the cylinder. Philadelphia Record. Keasong For Laughter. When' the young mistress of the bouse entered the kitchen she carried herself with great dignity. She had come to call the cook to account. "Mary," she said, "I must insist that you keep better hours, and that you have less company in the kitchen at uight. Last night I was kept awake because of the uproarious laughter of one of your women friends." Yis, mum, 1 know," Mary replied, cheerfully, "but she couldn't help it. I was telling her how you tried to make cake yesterday morning." Bir mingham (England) Post. A MAMMOTH LOAD.

Height of Pygmle. Among the most interesting ethno logic exhibitions at the St. Louis World's Fair was a group of pygmies from the Wissmann Falls region of the Congo Free State. Although they do not look as small as the imagina tions of many readers of books of African travel have perhaps pictured them, yet- they plainly belong to a diminutive race of mankind. A writer in Science, comparing the various measurements of these pygmies, and others allied to them, arrives at the conclusion that the average height of these small men is a little more ihan four feet eight inches, or about one foot less than that of the normal man.

Simple blouse waists worn with chemisettes, of linen or of contrasting material make one of the latest decrees of fashion and are eminently attractive. The model illus trated is an exceptionally desirable one and shows a novel yoke that is ex tended to form the fronts, with sleeves that are quite new as well as graceful and becoming. The original is made of pale blue linen canvas, the chemi- fl LfllE bEJIQN BT flflY flflNTON. se-tte being of white, but all waisting materials are appropriate. The waist consists of the plain back and the full fronts, which are joined to the yoke, and is finished with the roll-over collar and lapels. The sleeves are made writh upper and under por tions, and the full puffs, which are joined thereto, and can be finished with the roll-over cuffs cr plain, as shown in the small view. The chemi sette is separate, adjusted under the waist and closed at the back. The quantity of 'material required for the medium size is four and three fourth yards twenty-one, three and three-fourth yards twenty-seven, or two and one-fourth yards forty-four inches wide. Pink and Silver. . 1 An altogether attractive evening dress by Paquin has just been shown. It is of white net and is trimmed with seemingly endless ruffles and ruchings of Valenciennes lace an inch and an inch and a half in width. This scheme finishes the skirt at the foot, and is re peated three times above, though this upper trio do not cross the front breadth. Where they stop each side there's a dainty silver ornament that looks like lace. Very fascinating is the coat-like corsage of pink silk. It is em broidered with silver in the most deli cate fashion. There are little coat-tails and there are dainty elbow sleeves, but there isn't much coat at the front. It is cut away to show the net and the little Val. ruffles. There is a chemi sette effect of the net and lace. A pe culiar feature is a cross-over-like drap ery of thfe pink silk across the front. In addition to "this there are the most Shirt Waiat Collar. A giri can't have too many linen col lars for wear with her blouses of cloth, flannel and velveteen" She can make an upstanding linen collar with a nar row turnover top edge, and on the flat surface below, buttonhole slits in the linen, so that a bias silk cravat or a velvet ribbon or a fancy taffeta ribbon may be passed through with ease and finish with a small flat bow in front, or follow the cravat style and-have long ends to be knotted or held in by a brooch. Philadelphia SHetin. charming buttons of coral, with silver deposit. White Satin and Paint. r What think yon of the dainty chain bag hooked to the waist belt of our young lady? It is of white satin, with a single line of gilt paillettes over lapping like fish scales and serving to outline a hand-painted scene, a group under the Directoire, by the well known costumes of that period. This adorns.. one side of the pretty bag, the reverse side is absolutely plain, and no paillettes are allowed here, as they would injure the skirt against which they lie. A rather fine gilded chain is used to suspend this bag from its chate laine hook. Girl's Costume. Suspender costumes in all their varia tions are greatly in vogue, and are ex ceedingly becoming to young girls. This one includes also a shaped bertha, which gives the broad shoulder line that is always desirable, and is made of bright plaid trimmed with black velvet ribbon and worn over a guimpe of wrhite lawn. The model, however, is appropriate for all seasonable mate rials, and the guimpe can be made of white washable material or of plain colored flannel, as may be preferred. The costume consists of the guimpe and dress. The guimpe is made with front and backs, which are tucked to form a yoke, and includes full sleeves. The dress is made with a circular skirt w-hich is gathered at tile upper . edgt and joined to the belt, the suspenders and the bertha, which are joined bn to the other, then to the skirt. The quantity of material required for a girl of twelve years of age is four and three-fourth yards twentyv seven inches wide, three and three fourth yards thirty-two inches wTide, oi two and five-eighth yards forty-foui inches wide, with eleven yards of braid to trim as illustrated, ;and two yards thirty-six inches wide for guimpe.
