In order that a woman may be suc

must inevitably regard ber work as
worthy the highest education and cn
•husiasm, says the Washington Star.
Let her know bofora she enters upon
It th'at it must for years occupy the
greater part of her thoughts and time
-there will be seasons when it must
occupy her whole time—and be cont'nt
that this is so because of the value of
the result to be attained.
The home where peace ar.d order
reign and sw. et Influences of industry
and education of courtesy and reiigion
prevail is not made by chance. The
woman’s thought and study arid abili
ty have entered into it and determined
its character.
Where the servants ara industrious
and quiet, where the children are
healthy, gentle and obedient, where the
conversation show3 Intellectual life
nud generous thought, and the spirit
of the heme in its activities and plecs1
ures is love and joy nnd peace, the
praise is due. first, to the woman who
at wife nnd mother and mtr.trfsc nnd
housekeeper and homemaker lias made
it her study and pleasure to rule her
kingdom diligently, with intelligence
and love.
The home is her creation, springing
from her own ideal of what is good and
fair, and speaks to mankind as truly as
if her thought had expressed itself in
writing. It is a work of the highest
art.
If a woman thus regarded her work at
homo the would settle her mind to it
without that restlessness and discon
tent she will always feel if in her heart
of hearts she regards history or nrt or
higher mathematics as being more
worthy of her attention.

AIR SHlPA_SDOCESS
Makes Throe Mile Sail In the
Face of a Strong Gale.
ALIGHTS SAFELY, AS O.N BIRD’S WINGS
The Invention of Two IlrotlierM Who
Have Worked on It Three
Year 4—It In Really uu
Immense Kite.
NORFOLK, Va„ Dee. 18.—The proli
lem of aerial flight without the use of
a balloon has been solved by Wilber
and Orville Wright of Dayton, O.
At Kitty llawk, on tlie const of
North Carolina, they successfully nav
igated a flying machine of their own
invention for three miles in the teeth
of a twenty-one mile gale and, picking
their point of descent, easily landed the
machine.
During the trinl Wilber Wright oc
cupied the operator's scat and steered
tlie apparatus. For three years the
Wrights have experimented at Kitty
Hawk with their invention. They
chose that point because of its isola
tion and the absence of publicity.
By the merest chance the success ho
carne known, as neither of the men is
wady to make public the details of
their machine.
The flight began from a platform
constructed upon a high sand hill near
Kitty Hawk.
Instead of losing elevation when tlie
end of tlie platform was reached tlie
machine continued its flight undisturb
ed, and as the under propeller increas
ed its revolutions the machine gradu
ally pointed upward and soon hud at
tained u height of sixty feet above tlie
rolling sand dunes.
A still wind was blowing up the
coast at a registered velocity of twen
ty-one miles an hour, and the start
was made directly in the teeth of it,
hut tlie invention pushed through with
out difficulty and maintained an even
speeu or eigm nines an nour witn ease.
The first mile was covered, and then
Orville Wright declared the Invention
was a success, but it was not until the
third had been accomplished that 1 lie
inventor east his eyes about for a suit
able landing place, found it and with
ills invention under the most perfect
control slowly neared the earth and
let his machine alight as easily and
gracefully as a bird.
ALEXANDRETTA INSULT.
(.'oitMiil Will Auk For an Apolo^jr,
Hacked by a Man-of-war.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. — Clieklli
Bey, tlie Turkish minister to Washing
ton, has conferred with Acting Secre
tary Loomis respecting the Alexandret
ta affair. The minister presented an
other statement emanating from ills
government very much in the line of
that already submitted, the general
tenor of which was to show that Mr.
Davis, the American consul at Alexau
dreltu, was the aggressor in the affray
and that ho had attacked three Turk
ish policemen without provocation.
This statement failed completely to
agree with the report of facts made by
Minister Leishman, and, as the state
department felt hound to accept the
Word of its own agent, it could not in
terfere with the execution of the pro
gramme already announced — namely,
to have the United States consul now
at Beirut return to Alexandretta at ids
own pleasure on a man-of-war and to
look for proper apology and reparation.

8cna<or«i Hour, (iortnan and Foraker
on tk«* T*thi:iinn UaeKticn.
WASHINGTON. Dec. lS.-The sen
ate was the scene of a most important
debate on the isthmian canal question
as affected 'ey the president's recogni
tion of the independence cf the repub
lic of Panama. The discussion began
with a speech by Mr. Hoar on his res
olution of inquiry and lasted several
hours. In addition to Mr. Hoar's ad
dress there were speeches l.y Messrs.
Gorman and Foruker. All three were
notable utterances and of historical
interest.
Mr. Hoar confined his remarks to lus
resolution and held that this country
had not yet received full official in
formation concerning the isthmian rev
olution and criticised in sharp terms
the conduct of this country as shown
by what had been given out. He com
pared the conduct of the United States
on the isthmus to a policeman who
would manacle and hold a person
about to he attacked for robbery and
who would then insist on having the
spoils of the theft delivered to himself.
Sir. Hoar said that it was no justi
fication of our course to say Colombia
hsif fnilefi to ratifv the trentv for the
construction of the Panama canal. Had
the United States itself not failed to
ratify many treaties?
Mr. Gorman took the floor as soon as
Mr. Hoar had concluded, and there was
from the start evident interest in what
he might say.
Taking up the question at issue. Mr.
Gorman said the facts were all that
were desired, and !v proceeded to re
fer to the extension of the executive
influence, saying that this influence
had been extended until “the senate
had become practically the agent of the
executive." He criticised the selection
by the president of commissioners from
the senate to negotiate treaties as a
reprehensible practice. He also criti
cised executive interference in state
politics, saying:
“The president wjth doubtful propri
ety telegraphs his instructions to state
conventions as to their actions.”
But none of these transgressions
could be compared, be declared, to the
action of the executive in connection
with the affair in Panama. “It is." he
said, “the most flagrant act of trans
gression that has ever taken place in
Ike history of the country, and it should
ho resisted without regard to party.”
Mr. Gorman then discussed the pres
ident as a "second Napoleon," which
title had. lie said, "been assigned to
him by some."
“A second Napoleon indeed!" he ex
claimed. "Has it come to this that
the United States must have a Napo
leon to shape its destinies and to dis
tort the presidential office from its
proper functions?"
Mr. Foraker took Mr. Hoar to task
severely for his remarks reflecting on
the administration and his indiscretion
In speaking in open session concerning
.xocutive matters. He defended the
administration for its attitude toward H|
