THE (‘ZAR S SCHEME.
EDITOR STEAD SAYS AMERICA CAN

Nicllulas’ Proposals Arafl Sincere—Russia
Ready to Arrest Futuranerease of Her
Armzuneuts but Europe 18 Sceptically
A‘pzatlwtic.
William T. Stead, writing from Lon-
don, says:‘
"i have seen the Czar. I have
heard from his own lips the earnest
desire of his heart that something
practical should he done, and that
quickly. to divert to the service of hu-
manity some of the many millions
now devoted to the preparations for
war. He has taken the. initiative in
sunnucning "he conference.

his Sinceritg. 111 arresting the future
increase of Russian armaments.
unles s be is supported by the peoples

his well-meant endeavor will fail
“What is hoped by those friends of
peace and enemies of militarism who
turn their eyes to the Great Republic
of the New World is tllat- between-
noav and January the citizens of the
United States will, by'public demon-
strations, formal resolutions and by
every other'mcthod whereby a demo-
cratic people gives expression to its
convictions and its aspirations, have
manifested to the world their deter-
mination to help the Czar to put this
thing through.
TEE CZAR OF RUSSIA.
"A national committee to promote
the success of the Peace Conference.
with local committees in every city in
the Union, would do much to achieve
this end. ‘
“In England. where the _diiliculties
are much greater, owing to the sense-
less prejudice against llussia which
mean war, such a national committee
is already in course of formation. By
the end of next month it is expected
there will not be any considerable
cent-re of population which will not
have had its public meeting demand-
ing that energetic support he given to
the Russian proposals.
“These proposals, stated briefly, are
(1) that there should be declared a
truce of God for five years; (2) that
during that period the governments
should not increase their expenditure
on armaments beyond the figure
stated by them at the? conference of
the maximum of their. needs; (31
that some international agreement
should. if disputes arise between the
signatories of this past, bind" them :11:
ways to imite the mediation of
neutral pow crs before appealing to the
sword.
“A joint Anglo-American deuuta:
tion of, say, fifteen men and five wo-
men, chosen from the foremost of 0111'
race, charged with the mandate to
proceed through Europe on a pilgri-
mage of peace to present an address
of thanks to the Czar, would rouse
the continent. It would afilrm the
unity of the English-speaking race and
demenstra-te that it had both the ca-
pacity and the will to act as a. unit in
the cause of peace.
“Round the Anglo—American deputa—
tion 'would group themselves in the
first place the representatives of the
seven small states—Sweden, Norwav
Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Switzer-
land and Portugal, with an aggregate
population of nearly thirty millions—~
a and with these reinforcements the
great international delegation would
begin its crusade through Europe.
“In four weeks it would have shak-
en the continent from centre to Cir--
eumference.”
The Czars conference is attracting
much sympathy from the Queen and
other. members of the royal family
”who 'are said to be aware of the 1311-
fire sincerity of the Czar; '

A CAT’S INSTINCT.
Other Vessels Came In‘ But She Waited
For the Right. One.
When the Bayonne came to Phila-
delphia recently, it had a pet, an or-
dinary black and white pussy, whose
birthplace was far beyond the Italian
Alps. The cat was a present to Cap-
tain Von Huge, and had accompanied
him on several voyages. '
While the b-igoil tanker was lead
ing its cargo at Point Breeze, to the
horror of the captain and the conster-
nation of the steward, who was charg-
ed with its keeping, the animal disap-
peared the day after presenting to the
ship four beautiful kittens. Well 01'-
ganized parties searched the tanker
from stem to stern, and thoroughly ex:
plored the streets and wharves around
the oil works. but all to no avail. Pus-
sy was gone and with much regret
Captain Von Hugo was obliged to
make sail without his old companion.
.. Two days after the Bayonne left.
the prodigal return-ed. Running down
~on the wharf, it cast anxious glances
at the big bark Sternbeck, which now
occupied the pier formerly held by the
Bayonne. Visiting in succession every
ship in the 'Iicinity, the instinct of
the cat forbade it hoard lug any
them, and. finally. giving up in de-
spair. it cast its lot in the watch box
of \V-atchman Manly, seemingly rec-
onciled to the fact that it must await
the appearance of the absent oil ship.
“711911 the oil ship was still far down
the stream. on her return voyage, pus-
sy took her position .:t the end of the
wharf. showing by :1 thousand antics
that the oncoming craft was the one
she had anxiously waited for so many
weeks. Unnecessary to say, perhaps.
that the recognition was mutual. from
Captain Von Hugo on the bridge to
the big black dog barking on the poop
deck. and there was no need 1to decry
the {NESQIICQ of an enthusiastic wel~
com-o. To cap the climax, when the
Bayonne was yet twelve feet from the
pier the. cat's impatience reached the
limit. \Vith one flying leap it cleared
the intervening space. and to the sur-
prise of the cheering crew. ran directly
'to the place. where her kittens were
formerly domiciled. The latter were
still on board and in a few minutes
the happy 611.111in was again united.—

Rise of a Country Boy.
Out- of the most extraordinary
achievements that has come to the no:
tice of Street Lounger. says that writ-
er in the Lansing, Mich. Republican.
is the rise of W. H. Caunift', general
111:1111ager of the Lake Shore and Mich
ignn Southern Railroad.
Clauniff began his railroad career at
Pittsburg, where he sawed wood in
the depot. While employed there he
learned telegraphing and rail-road bus:
iness. His first boost was at Trenton,
on the Detroit branch. When the U11-
ion Pacific was opened he took :1 s11-
tion at Lone Tree.' Nebraska. He
thought the country was rather new
and returned to the Lake Shore. He
was made stallion agent at Salem
Crossing, now Otis, Ind.
Two division superintendents had
graduated from that obscul'e'station.
and the boys joked “Bill.” “Are you
in line?" they said. Bill was. “I ex-
pect 'to be superintendent in due time,"
he said in seriousness. Soon after:
ward he was made track master of the

Lansing branch. In quick succession
he 'ht-rcmuc acting superintendent of
the Lansing division and assistant gen-
eral superintendent respectively. Now

newspapers make. a note of it.
Fashionable Adverbs.
One evening a gentleman came home
with a budget of news. An acquaint-
ance had failed in business. He spoke
of the incident as “deliciously sad.”
He had ridden uptown in a car with
a noted wit. whom he described as
“horribly entertaining.” and, to cap
the climax. he spoke of the butter that
had been set before 'him at. a country
hotel as “divinely rancid.” '
The young people stared and the old-
est daughter said: “Why. papa, i
should v-thlink that you were out of
your head?”
“Not'ln'the least, my dear,”, he said.

ionable as they were in his family:

The Capable Girl’s Lament."
“It’s a terrible misfortune to beable
to do things," commented one girl to
her sister, who possesses the knack of
doing everything, from millinery to
scrubbing. It is true that such a per-
son is apt to be overworked by her
friends, who, seeing the cleft fingers
work so quickly, are too forgetful of
the strength used' in gratifying their
requests to “just help me out on this
dear, you do it so beautifully.” How:
ever, it is well to teach girls to do
everything that they are likely to need
'to know in everyday life or emergen-
cies. But with all the rest of the
knowledge, impress upon the girls a
regard for their own strength and the
power to say no when nerves cry out
that the limit of healthful endurance
is reached.
