Washington, April 29.—Secretary Daniels said tonight that he does not believe the Mexico City report that Manzanillo had ben bombarded by an American warship or that ma­rines had been landed at Salma Cruz.

He said he was in constant commun­ication with Rear Admiral Howard, whose last report was that ail was quiet cr. the Pacific Coast.

The cruises Raleigh was due to arrive at Manzanilla today and *the Denver is a t Satina Cruz. The Den­ver carries no marines, according to

Darnels SWs Not Believe Report, navy deportment officials. Secretary Daniels late tonight telegraphed Ad­miral Howard the Mexico City re­ports, asking for an immediate re­ply.

should be, commercially,. in most of the States, is a fact that become in* creasingly evident. In a review of business conditions published: in this paper some time* ago the statement was made that "times” were better, perhaps, in the Carolinas, than in any other section of the country. We are scill of the opinion that this is tru;:, broadly speaking, but there is evi­dence that money is hard io get-where capital is sought for big projects and when this c a p ita l must com e fro m th e North.

Suggestions for the Trousseau, Smart Bithine Suits and Decorated

Parasols.

Top Coats In Goifine.. New York, May 2.—Preparations

for that great event,, the June wed­ding. are now in progress. The bride- to-be is busily superintending the making of the various gowns of her trousseau. For the all-important wedding-dress, I suggest this model, which expresses both dignity and

grace, qualities which should be in­herent in this gowri of gowns. White taffeta is the material used, with hand­some silk-run lace for the vestee1 and rolling collar. The rouncl-length skirt has -a charmingly modest' and graceful bustle drapery, especially

becoming to the youthful bride. Moi­re, charmeuse, satin meteor and crepe de chine are charming materials for such a dress. For the veil, while tulle is especially pretty, draped from a coronet , of orange blossoms, as illus­trated.

For her trousseau, many materials* diiu types of wraps and gowns are suitable. One of the new materials Which is most popular for summer wear is the lovely goifine. which comes in all sorts of beautiful colors and sev­eral qualities. It has all the smart­ness of corduroy without the weight, and for sports' clothes is much better than the easily-mussed fabrics of former seasons.

Idle Thoughts.“Why are you watching that fly

ever be able to tango up and down the walls like that. Wouldn’t it be fine?”—Pittsburg Post.

suit of dark blue ttfleta* trimmedwith light cerise g*Wfte, has a darl­ing cap made of the same goifine with a hemstitched band of the blue 'taf­feta around the face, tying in a

saucy bow directly in front. Silk bathing shoes of cerise, with dark blue stockings, and a parasol of the two colors, complete a bathing cos­tume whch too lovely to be plunged into the briny deep.

Another lovely .suit is of two-toned green taffeta, yith a cap of the same, gathered, not only on a. band around the face, but at the crown forming a stunning sort of ‘ rosette, like a cock’s comb, on the top of the head.

The parasols, of varied colors, are more beautiful than ever. The love­ly, “cherry blossom” from .Japan is in .soft colors or brilliant checks while the “Arcadia” has each dainty gilt rib upturned and tipped with a tiny ball of ivory or ebony to blend with th e coloring o f the sink o f th e para­sol. These two are most desirable and very smart.

Views Diverge.With the Colonel approaching the

mouth of the Amazon there has been a sharp revival of discussion concern­ing a probable coalition between the Republican and Progressive parties. Judge Grosscup sees no good reason why the amalgamation should not be effected, and he sees no hope for eith­er parts' as an independent organi­zation, Ormsby McHarg, in the Na­tional Magazine, advances the opin­ion that it is a dry gangrene from which the Republican party has suf­fered, the affliction growing out of the Southern representation at Na­tional conventions. I t is interesting to note that Mr. McHarg, a specialist on such subjects, is convinced that the National committee, at its December meeting in Washington only adopted a makeshift, and that there must be anthed weeding out process respect­ing the Southern delegates before the party can again hopie to come in­to its own. He believes, however, that the Progressives and the parent or­ganization should get together, and that without delay.

Dignity and Grace Are Appealing Characteristics of this Stylish

Wedding Gown.Beautiful ratine in bright colors

ar.d large sporty-looking checks are among the summer suitings. Lovely straight, narrow skirts are made of these checks, which should be worn with a pretty biouse, and one of the thin silk sweater-coats. These are shown in the same colors as thfe ra­tine, and are eminently smart for the well put-up woman who plans for a dayrs Outing of any sort.

Many ."^tes of taffeta coats in all colors are to be used to throw over the dainty lace, chiffon crepe and lingerie gowns, but quite the newest and smartest thing yet shown for formal occasions is a kimono-shaped, mediumdengfh coat of net, with wide flounces, which taper toward tha front. Lovely narrow feather trimming cir­cles the neck and tops the flounces on the sleeves.

in the eighties knew that I was is.- garded as one of the homeliest men in Kentucky?” remarked Senator

Bradley.“It’s a fact,” and with a chuckle

he proceeded to give an instance ofit.

‘Under the law of Kentucky the Governor has the power of pardon even before grand jury proceedings on trial. During my first terms as Governoi my Attorney General was John K. Hendrick. Some people were divided as to which of us was the homeliest. John always maintained that he was a better looking man than I, and I always disputed his ar­gument.

“One day Hendrick walked into my office.

“ ‘I .want a pardon, Governor/ he announced.

“ ‘All right, Hendrick/ I replied; ‘but what have you done?*

Washington, April 29.—Secretary Daniels said tonight that he does not believe the Mexico City report that Manzanillo had ben bombarded by an American warship or that ma­rines had been landed a t SaJina Cruz.

He said he was in constant commun­ication with Rear Admiral .Howard, whose last report was that all was iquiet on the Pacific Coast.

The cruises Raleigh was due to arrive a t Manzanilla today and the Denver is a t Satina Cruz. The Den­ver carries no marines, according to

Daniels Does Not Believe Report, navy deportment officials. Secretary Daniels late tonight telegraphed Ad­miral Howard the Mexico City re­ports, asking for an immediate re­ply.

THE UNJUST STEWARD.

. LUKE 16-.1-1B.1 And he said also unto his dis­

ciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods,

2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of

. thee give an account of thy stew­ardship; for thou mayest be1 3 0 long­er steward.

3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stew­ardship: I cannot dig-; to beg I am ashamed. ' '

. 4 I am resolved what to do, that,. when I am put out of the steward­ship, they may receive me into their houses.

5 And - he called every one of his word’s debtors unto him, and said un­to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

6 And he said, An hundred meas­ures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill,, ana sit down quickly, and write lifty.

7 And said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he

10 He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is un­just also in much.

11 If therefore yo have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,^ who wisl commit to your trust the true riches?

1", No servant can serve two mas­ters: for either he wiii hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

THE COMPLACENT LANBLOKI!.I t was. not long before news of the

transaction reached the ears of the landowner. Perhaps he was very an­gry and determined to consider every contract on the new basis as illegal. But tp do so only meant endless law-, suits and scandals .and hard feelings. He knew that every tenant on his plantation would take sides with his agent; and in the event of a lawsuit they would make him appear as a grasping, hard-hearted,' tyrannical money-getter. So ha accepted the sit­uation goodhumoredly and even com­plimented his agent on acting with such accurate knowledge of human, nature. The agent had given the lab­orers the opportunity they had long desired to see some return to their own families out of their daily toil. They were made to believe more in themselves and to labor mor? cheer­fully and more hopefully to make the hwd prcducc it:; very best. A n spirit was introduced on. that plan­tation for one year at least, and men had more respect for one another and for their occupation than they had before possessed.

The hint, was not lost 0:1 the land­lord himself. He saw, perhaps for

His lands were cultivated better than ever before, end he really did not lose 'anything by the reduced rentals. Upon one plan­tation it was demonstrated that the work of farming was a human enter­prise ia which the landlord were

mutually engaged v\ producing char­acter. The question of profits was for one year subordinated to the inore important issue of cultivating friend­ship, and the lesson was learned that it pays to be friendly.

THE POWER OF WEALTH TO MAKE KRfENOS.

Farmers in the South who rent the iand they cultivate have some form of contract with the landlord concern­ing the amount they shall pay for the land. In Home instances. «-»e ivM ?s to be paid in cash, and sometimes in a specified portion of the crop. A not uncommon form of contract is that wherein the tenant agrees, in return for the land to pay to the land­lord so many bates of cotton or so many bushels of wheat or corn, and this must be paid before the farmer can estimate how much he has gain­ed by his yeai’s labors. Suppose a farmer has vented his land and is greatly worried about the rent that is coming due at the end of thc year. If the overseer, who has authority to alter the contract, should come to him with an offer to make the rental five bales of cotton instead of ten, or sev­enty bushels of corn instead ox a hundred, and should do this simply as anwould not the farmer be greatly de­lighted at the lessened burden? He might not understand the motive *>f the overseer, but he would certainly regard him as his friend, and would treat him as such if trouble arose be­tween the overseer and the land­lord.

AN EXAMPLE FOR CHRISTIAN ■HUSINKSiS M EN .

The steward, of course, was wrong in what he did. A p:evi«m:s charge f misappropriation of funds stands

against him, and lie had no moral right to tamper with his employer's contracts after he had been discharg­ed. Furthermore, bis motive was primarily selfish in reducing the rent charges. JJut with all his faults he injected a spiritual meaning into thc facts of everyday life. He looked up­on laboring people as possessing a soul. lie looked upon them as some­thing better ;hu» animated machines for enlarging profits; to his mind they were capable of appreciating a generous net and of responding to an appeal for friendship. The over­seer was not only friendly and symp­athetic in his nature, but he actually made friends of those whose hearts had perhaps never been louchcd by kindness and generosity.

The moral of this lesson is found in verse 8, which the American Revised Version renders: '‘And his ford com­mended the unrighteous steward be­cause he had ore wisely; for the sons of this world are for their own gen oration wiser than fhe sons of iight.” It must be carefully observed that our Lord, as well as the steward’s

South American Intermediaries May Visit Mexico and Talk to Vic.

Washington, April 28.—The Mexi­can crisis now is centering on the is­sue between those who are seeking through the good offices and inter­mediation of Latin-Anierica to find sovae middle ground for pacific ad­justment, and lho.se v»ho regard a re­sort io arms as an inevitable conse­quence of what has occurred.

Throughout today two distinct branches of activity were manifest here--that of tho envoys of Argen­tina, Kraiil and Chile in formulating

[a plan of adjudmsent to be submit­ted to the United States and the Huerta regime, and that of the mili­tary and naval forces of the United States which continue to go forward steadily in preparation for any event­uality which may develop. The ar­rival of General Funston and a bri­gade of 5,000 troops at Vera Cruz was one of ihe notable military develop­ments of the day.

Report^ Are Encouraging.Washington, April 2\).—Americans

today continued to leave Mexivo and tonight encouraging reports came to the Slate and Navy Departments from all quarters. Admiral Iiadger reported that all American refugees are now out of the Tampico district. Those few Americans who remain- he said, have lived in Mexico many ^ears and would not suffer maltreatment even if operations were commenced in that district.

Morro Castle, Kn Route to Vera Crus (by Mail to Jacksonville, Fla.), April 27.—-Southward over, the warm blue waters of the- Gulf of Mexico an American army is hurrying toward the first and last Spanish possession of Continental North America. Unlike the conquerors of Co^ezwho landed in the .city of the True Cross—rV'era Cruz—four centuries ago one April day, thc invaders come with no thought of territorial aggres-: sion and one fond hope—to get home: as soon as possible.

This expedition of marines, under command of Col. Franklin. J. Moses, which probably will become part of the force camped in the tropical sun at Vera Cruz should reach its desti­tution probably -Tuesday, April 2S,

or surely Wednesday. Whether', it is dull garrison duty or the exhilara­tion of the trenches, thc marines al­ways go prepared:

One who never has seen an expe­dition of. short ship for foreign ser­vice has no conception of thc :bu-i- ness of. it. Six days on a navy trar.-.- port night be thought oportaril.r for rest. Quite to the contrary. r*h:ro are hours of crowded activity- from waking to sleeping. Leading a thous­and men on a ?hip is a comparatively simple matter. K e e p in g ih e m in fighc- ing trim is another.

The smoking rooms of the steamer have been converted into offices. Thim grey boxes which looked like smart officers' .trunks have given up . card indexes, m odern office appliances and every facility for business. That is the business end of the expedition without which it could not exist.

On the forward deck and on tn« shade deck is quite another scene. Long lines-of khaki men drill in for­mation v.-hich limited space will al­low'. Inspection and instruction fol­low each other, field pieces are u*i- limbered ar-d drilled, recruits are taught the mysteries of semaphore signaling, the principles of sanitation, the fundamentals of the business which is to bp theirs.

In one of the upper cabins a group of officers i- gathered •* i the k-ng benches iike school boys, taking les­sons in Spanish, some refreshing tne knowledge of earlier days and others learning tiwir lirst pronunciation, us­ing a gr^en baize piano cover as a blackboard an instructor gives such oonvers;:'..l.ii at phrases as company commanders are likely to need.

As the ship skim son southward with mighty engines making revo­lutions a minute, the skies grow bluer, the store seem nearer, the light airs arew armor. The forest green ulsters, ao welcome off Cape Henry are stowed. The fire hose brought on forward deck and 50 marines have a bath at one stroke.

THJB SHREWD OVERSEER.Our Lord wished to teach his dis­

ciples that the proper use of wealth was to make friends by means of it. He said there was a certrin agent* or steward, of a large plantation who was accused of dishonest ueaiings. The landowner called him to account

dismissed him fiomr his service. The overseer was greatly perplexed Bt the situation, for he was unable to work as a day laborer and asham­ed to beg on the highway for his daily bread. What, then, shoufd he do, seeing that his position was tak­en from him? He hit upon a very shrewd plan to ward off hunger- and to save his dignity. He would use his master's income to make his ten­ants his own friends. Before his dis­missal had been made known, and while his dealings with the tenants would still be binding, he went among then) and reduced the amount of their

what was approved was his- worldly wisdom—his sagacity. He made use of money to buy himself good favor in the days to come. There is in this commendaton no suggestion that we can buy heaven for our souls hy a skillful employment of money. But if the “sons of light” are as wise

the “sons of the world,” they will use their money with a high, pure, unsalfish motive of love to God and devotion to his needy children. The steward displayed a “wise unfaithful­ness” in the use of what was not his own, and the sons of God should dis­play a “wise faithfulness” in the use of their possessions. When men ac­cept money, which is God's gift to them, and make selfish use of it, they turn it into the :fmammon of un­righteousness.” According to the mo­tive we put into it and the use we make it, money is a source of tre­mendous evil or almost unlimited good. He that is faithful in his world­ly possessions, th* v*rjr h«st of a righteous man’s sincere desire, may justly be accounted faithful in pos sessions of greater wealth..
