OROTHY in the nursery can calculate the price of Ivory Soap per cake, but it would take a mathematical genius to calculate its true value. For he must take acrmmt nf time, labor, and materials. He must deduct from the apparent cost the saving in the longer life of the cake, in the longer life of the washed fabric, in the labor required, in the time consumed, in the strength ex pended, in the results obtained. When all is finished, Ivory is the cheapest soap in the world. It floats. PIONEERS PRIZE CANE AS HISTORIC RELIC. Among the archives at the court house and in the custody of the pre ident of the interested association, is a relio which is greatly cherished by the pioneers of this county, and es pecially so ty the members of the OJd Settlers' association of Rock Island county. The relic is a hardwood cane, and valued peraaps at $ 400. The cane was piesented to the Old Settler' association of this county by Bailey Davenport. O j four gold bands tbe names of the donor and the names of every president cf the association klcce 1866 are engraved. These bands, after tbe first one, have been added from time to time, as necessary. The cane is handsome and occupies a conspicuous place at every annual meeting of the old settlers. Tbe cane has a large gold head, the bands serve a tablets for the names of the icad officials of the association. Tbe wool in the cane came from the old residence of Col. Davenport, on Rock Islaod, and the son, in present ing the cans to tbe association, caused a lasting remembrance of Col. Darea port and the donor to have place ampng the pioneers of t lis section of the sta'e. The cane bears the names of the presidents of the association up to 1900. the name of Judge Searle, who was elected at tbe tecent meeting of the body, not yet being engraved thereon. Frtt.

Powers, of the National Association of Baseball leagues, bad sent out asking the Na tional and American leagues to re spect contracts, he announced at once that he was in fall accord with the views held by Mr. Powers. "I have always wished to respct contracts and reserves," said the head of tbe Chicago club. I rever thought it was right to disregard other con tracts, and the Chicigo club would have respected all such instruments this season. It has always done so and it will continue in the same way. It is awajs the best policy to be honor able in all kinds of business, and baseball is no exception. If other people do not respect onr contracts we cannot E6lp that, but it does not prevent us from respecting the con tracts of others." C harley Comiskey, president of the American league club, was not so positive in his statements as was Mr Hart, but he said that wherever pos sible contracts and reserve lists should be given consideration.

EOIH COUtfTEIES PLAYING SHARP Aim is to Make an International Struggle Appear to Be Ordi nary Insurrection. Willenistad, Island of Curnco.t, Oof. 2. Advice received here ly mail from Marac-aibo under date of Sopt. :!8 say that Venezuela is protecting th CJua Jira frontier by reluforccuM'uts. An expedition. composed of about 1,500 re cruit froai Lit Vela de Coro, on tbe Gulf of Coro, mid .Merida. with Vicente Sanchez in command, left here yester day for some jolnt near (Juajira. whi'iu'p they will probably move inland toward the frontier. The foregoing rovers the facts in the case. Number lets rumors are being industriously cir culated, but n careful weighing of all information from various sources lends to the belief that the forces of Davila. after their disastrous defeat Sept. 14. wandered to the mountains, 'pursued by Indians and Colombians. Deilla Aaka for Help. Eventually Davila. with five com panions, succeeded jn reaching Fort San Carlos, thirty miles north of Mara-ailo. a Venezuelan base and po litical prison, whence he asked that r- inforeeinents be sent to rescue his command, reported to 1x in distress and danger from the Indians inhabit ing fluidajara. who are under the lead ership of their cachpie. Juan Dolores, are fighting on tlw side of the Colom bian government. Clodomir and .lunn Castillo, the Colombian liberal lender. appear to be at Trlenta. on the Colom bian side of Cu.ijira. with followers estimated to number from ."0o to 'J.tMMi men. Venezuela Not To It Annutlr. It is reported, although without valid reason for belief, that the forces uudcr Castillo. and Ihivila's men. if rescued from their predicament, and the San chez expedition, will attempt to unit! or co-operate In a movement upon La Ifaeha. where Colombia .ipjieurs'tn have about 2.000 men under the lead ership of Aynma. It Is more conserva tively thought that Venezuela will not assume the aggressive. flame Thtjr Are Roth Play Inc. lloth the Venezuelan and Colombian governments show a tendency to play at the head of their forces the revolu tionary leaders of the other counirv. in order to give a color of political revolution to the contacts letween their respective troops. For example. Venezuelan troops under the leader ship of a Colombian liberal, are o)er nting against the Colombian govern ment forces, and the movement will be qualified as an internal, and not as an international disturlKincc. This greatly confuses the situation. Vcnnntla Dlutttr Confirmed. The Venezuelan disaster of Sept. 14 is fully continued. Few prisoner were taken. The retreating Venezue lans were caught on lotIi sides of a river with the bridso broken, and the Colombians overwhelmed them from three side. scattering the Venezuelans, who were ambushed by the Indian. Letters received here from Tachira are to the effect that fleneral Vrlle- I'rilw Is collecting and manipulating his forces In a small way, but no ac tion of ImiHirtance Is being taken hv him.

A memorial service, organized by the Masonic distriot deputy grand master in Man hattan, was held recently in the grand lodge room of the Masoaic ball at Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue.
