This will be given next Friday evening at the public school 8 o'clock. Hon. Hallet S. Ward has kjndly consented to teach the class this time, and "hear the spell In'." He will teach the class of grown-up "boys" and "girls." There will bo another class of younger folk, perhaps, taught by some one to be selected. The leaders of both classes will be announced in due time. The "boys" .say they know they can beat the "girls" this time, be cause in the - former contest the ''girls" had intimidated theni. This time they will not be intimidated, and they are sure they know the les son better than they did before. They challenge tbe "lassies" to meet them in the contest Friday evening, and lest they should humiliate the "girls" by so crushing a defeat as they are planning for them, they desire In- all fairness to drop the hint that Mr. Frizzle has on hand a large supply of blue back spellers. The old blue back will be used again. The admission fee to all is 10 cents. The proceeds to go toward, completing the work .undertaken by the Betterment Association.

CREATES A GREAT FURORE Roosevelt IftMueM BUIflUAt and Kt plain* That the Incident In I*urely Personal and Unit He Acted as mii A inert can ? He ICefuxCN to Meet the Tope. Rome, April 4. ? The audience which it, was believed Ex-President Roosevelt would have with the Pope today will uot occur, owing to con ditions which the Vatican, has im posed, and which Mr* Roosevelt re fuses to accept. Although the definite negotiations relative "to the audience ended be fore Mr. Roosevelt left Egypt, the announcement was withheld until after Mr. Roosevelt, reached Route, nt the solicitation of his American Catholic friends here, whrt believed that in the Mneanilme ?ho vatlcatt might change Its attitude.: One of the former President's American friends, who had been with him In Egypt, came to Rome yesterday, with out, however, any authorization from Mr. Roosevelt and Interceded with Cardinal Merry Del vat, the papal sec retary, In an endeavor to avoid n sit uation, which as it now stands, has caused a real scusatidn In Rome, al though it was not entirely unexpect ed. But his efforts were unavailing. Aske?l For Audiences. While at Gondokoro In February last. Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Ambas sador Welshman, saying that he would be glad of the honor of an audience with Ktng Victor Emanuel and the Hope. The audience with the King was promptly arranged. Be fore an arrangement could be reach ed relative to an audience with the Pope,- several telegrams were passed, and the negotiations were ended by Mr. Roosevelt refusing in any way to be limited as to hlB conduct. anH> , announcing that an audience with , the pope nnder the circumstances, was now Impossible. As a matter of fact Mr. Roosevelt, while decllulng to accept any condi tions in connection with his audience ??iLL?r. dlfprtly nor Indirectly, before, during, or af ter the negotiations, made or cons ti ered any engagements In Rom ? ex cept those of an official character s:nd he actually entered Rome tonight with but two definite engagements, the audience with the King and the dinner to be given in his honor by I the municipality. , History of Negotiation*. The history of the negotiations is j as about as" follows: While at Cairo Mr. Roosevelt re- j eeived the followlug telegram from' Ambassador Leishman. dated March i ?: "Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the' American Catholic College in reply | to an inquiry which I caused to be | Imadc. requests that the following | communication transmitted to j you: " 'The Holy Father will bo delight* ed to grant an audience to .Mr. Roose- 1 veil, on April .=>. and hopes that noth- j Ing will arise to prevent It. such as the mych-regretted Incident which' made the reception of Mr. Fairbanks i Impossible?' " Replying by cable to Ambassador l.oiehman on March 25. Mr. Roose velt said: 'Please present the following to Mgr. Kennedy : 'It would be a real | pleasure to me to be presented to the | Holy Father, for whom I entertain j high respect, both personally and as the head of a great Church. I fully I recognise his entire rfRhts to receive j or not receive whomsoever he choos- j ed, for any reason that seems good to I him. and If he does -not receive me I shall not for a moment question th? propriety of his action. On the other hand, I, in my turn must decline to make any stipulations or submit to any 'conditions, which In any way i would limit my freedom of conduct. I trust that on April -6 he will find ' [it convenient to receive me." Vatican Stands Pat. On March 28, Mr. Roosevelt at Cairo received a cablegram from Am bassador Letshman giving a message j from Mgr. Kennedy, which concluded I by saying: "The audience cannot take place except on the understand ing expressed , in the former mes sage." ' The following day Mr. Roosevelt sent another message to the Ameri can ambassador, saying: "The pro posed presentation is of course now impossible." Mr. Roosevelt particularly desires that the Incident shall be regarded by his friends, both Catholic and Protes tant, In America, as personal, and that it shall not fire rise to an acii-. monlous controversy.

April .".?With the "wet" and "dry" taxue, which had con vulsed Chicago during the early part of the campaign, dropped from the ballot, the interest in today'* alder manic election has greatly BubBided. Now that the fate of the saloons Is not to be decided today, the voters have suffered a revulsion of feeling, and the political frenzy which had promised to make today's vote a rec ord breaker has relapsed into the mildest sort of Interest. The anti saloon forces say that their failure to get the issue before the people to day is not to be taken as final, but that the campaign will be kept up until the people have a chance to reg ister their opinion on the liquor question.""* -> The registration lists shows .483, 388 persons on the rolls who are en titled to vote in today's election. It is certain that the vote cast will fall far short of this stupendous figure, which was due in large part to the interest In the local option struggle. The registration figures establish a new high water figure for Ckieago, exceeding the highest previous regis tration of 190?. by. nearly 25,000 names. The reglstratloh after revi sion in 190s, the presidential year, was .|u!M3 1. ? The increase in the eligible voting strength of Chicago in two years by so large a (igurp as 25,000 gives some indication of the big growth in the city's population. While a portion of this new registration is due to the "wet" and "dry" fight, the figures I are taken us a fairly accurate cri terion of the rapid growth of Chl ' < ago. The failure o? tho "drys" to get , the liquor question on the ballot to [day only 'followed a campaign In ; which a majority of the men. women [ and children of the city had particl : pated, and in which thousands of dol jlars had been spent. The liquor in terests spent vast sums In fighting (the local optionlsts, the campaign in cluding the use of large space In all ! the newspapers of the city. It was asserted ihat If Chicago became "dry" the city would be bankrupted, ithe annual loss In saloon taxes alone 'being estimated at eiglu millions. TOBACCO MARKET. Mr. J. V.
