Ebbitt There are imit ations that the city cam paign Is warming up, I1 it needs a joint debate bftwwr. the two candidates, for mayor to make it hot. i:ndr Mayor Tasrsart the rxpenditurrs of the city government lucroacd from 5ST.C, SSO in 1SW to in K"".5. Is it slander ing the city to ?Litr- this fact? If temporary loans could bo 'made w ith out Inter?: and with an understanding that the principal was not to be paid the Tajrffart-ilagulre scheme would Ik? beau tiful. The statement that It'isHa, Germany and France have united to treat th- "sick man of Europe" Is highly Interesting, because the chastisement of Turkey presents seri ous complications. A workhouse delivery in the interest of the Democratic ticket cannot elect It, be cause there are not enough workhouse voters to overcome the Republican plural ity outside that institution. At the risk of "slandering' the city"- the Journal calls attention to the fact that, with an insufficient tan levy, the city has made temporal loans since the Oth of July. amounting to 5I.Vi.6C!. The city controller need not waste much time trylnsr to find out in advance whether his proposed temporary loans arc legal or not. Just let him go on borrowing money snd the people who do the lending will notify him when he Is up against the con stitutional limit. The mayor pays that other cities have bonded debts five times as large ns that of Indianapolis; but that Indianapolis has not a much larger bonded debt than it has 1 due not to Mayor TaRgart, but the late William II. English, who was instrumental in getting the 2 per cent, limitation in the Constitution of Indiana. In a speech delivered Sept. 2. Mayor 'Xaggart said: "Not during the four years 1 have been mayor of this city has it been necessary to make a temporary loan in order to pay the running expenses of the city government, and I shall not commence doing so now." He had not yet discovered that that was "the business-like way in hlch to manage the affairs of the city." When Fresldent Roosevelt was assistant secretary of the navy he was threatened by the. representative of the Now York Journal that If he did not submit to its demands he would regret it. Rut Mr. Jtoosevlt was not to be bullied; on the contrary, ne told the representative to pro cexl with any abuse or scandal that it could Invent concerning him. Some nun fcave not the courage to defy such papers. It looks a little n? If the administration might have to draft a man from Indiana tor consul at Zanzibar, or else offer it to some jerson outside of the State. Within the last few years the position lias been mied and resigned successively by three In dianern, the third being -now on his way home. Whatever drawbacks the position may have it seems to possess the excellent quality of-making Americans appreciate their own country. An alleged authorized interview with Sen ator Hanna reports him as expressing the titmost confidence in President Roosevelt's ability to meet every demand of his new position, and bespeaking for him the full confidence not only of the Republican jarfy, but of the entire Nation. As the nearest friend of the dead President, and probably the most sorrowing mourner out lde of his family, these expressions are ery creditable to the Ohio senator. Vhe Maryland Court of Appeals has verj properly held that a street-railway com pany is responsible for the assault of a Ärtinkea man. who was a passenger, upon another pass -r.ger.

The mar. was n-.-xt a.ked if he had any preju dice against the defense of insanity, to which he replied that he had. but he said if the evidence showed that the accused was insane when h committed the crime, he would give the man the benefit of the doubt. Then the defense went on to ask the man if the recent assassination of Pres ident McKinley would have any influence on his mind in reference 'to the pending case. The State objected and the judge told the defense not to ask that question again. The m in who declared that lie had an opin ion, but one that evidence would remove, ras made a. juryman, and the judge was right who said that intelligence on the part of a juror is better than dense ignorance. With such evidence of progress in the trial of murder eases, there is reason to expect that the time is not far off when the fact that a man who is sane enough to hire a room and watch day after day to shoot a woman across the street with a rifle is sari" enough to be sentenced as a murderer. MAYnit ta;;ahts mi:i:cih:s. Oa Wednesday evening Mayor Taggart ruado two addresses on the premises of saloons, at one of which it is declared that "at the conclusion of the meeting beer flowed flowed so freely that it reminded the crowd of the old days." From the re port of the meeting.5 the following is quoted: At the first meeting h had told them there wer.' Mjki or ir,iX) applicants and only a few positions to de-u out. It was lamentable, but unavoidable, that some be disappointed, h" said. "I regret there nre not enoimh for every one." lie said. "Noth ing would please me more than to see each one given an "office, but my hands are tied. You know that. You know it is not my fault." Ho is the mayor of Indianapolis who is telling a beer-guzzling crowd that thcie were 100 to 25,00 applicants for the few places he had to give out, and that if his hands were not tied he could have given each of them a place. Rut the part of Ihe speech which the reporter says "seemed to go direct to the hearts of his listeners" is as follows: You are fair-minded men. You are liberal-minded men. Do you want the laws enforced to the letter? Rather, shouldn't comp discretion be exercised? The law has no discretion. I sometimes think the law makers themselves show but little. If a man desires a glass of beer. I believe in him going in the front door to get it. lie Is the mayor of Indianapolis who de clares thai the laws have "no discretion," and that "discretion must be exercised," which means that any law which his Honor does not approve will not be enforced. Now, the law which the mayor would annul is that prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday. Next week It may be the law relating to gambling houses that must be enforced with discretion, or, if any consid erable number of voters may be addicted to petty larceny, their votes may be solic ited by the tacit understanding that the law providing punishment for petty thieves may become the object of the mayor's "discretion." Farther, if the last sentence of the mayor's address means anything, it means that he believes that the saloons should have their front doors open on Sun days and at all hours of the night in viola tion of the law, since the frcnt doors are always open on the days and at the hours prescribed by law. Rut the point to which the attention of those who believe in obedi ence to law is called is that the mayor openly declares that any law which does not- meet his approval may be violated; that he Is above the laws of Indiana. On Thursday night Mayor Taggart made two more speeches, with a free-beer accom paniment. He was more discreet on these occasions than on the night before, but the tenor of a part of his remarks was dema gogic and at variance with the facts. Here is a sample: 1 have been criticised some for making a low tax levy. 1 often wonder whether the taxpayers were in favor of a low levy or a high levy. You take the poor man who has his little home with his family. He is mak ing his day's wage by his daily toil either as a laborer or as a mechanic. I say to you it has been my effort and my aim to keep taxes as low as possible to keep from plac ing any additional burdens upon that class of men. You take the little homes in this town and you will find that they have been assessed at nearly their cash value, while the palatial homes of the rich have gono at about one-half or two-thirds of their value. And the more a man has got the less in proportion he Is taxed for. Mr. Taggart never made but one low tax levy. Two years ago he made a ;9-cent levy, promising that it would bring enough revenue to pay current expenses. Ho must have known that It would not, and. as a matter of fact. It did not within in,oin. Iast year lie recommended a Tl-cent levy, which is IS 1-3 per cent, higher than any previous levy. On that levy and the dis astrous consequences of the 50-cent per formance his city controller appealed to the Council to permit him to borrow r2,)0 to pay September hills. The Council could only permit the controller to borrow 31.G, because to go beyond that amount would exceed the constitutional limit of municipal debts. For next year the mayor has recommended a levy of 73 cents, which is 21 2-3 per cent, more than any levy made before Mr. Taggart was mayor. And yet Mr. Taggart talks of a low levy! He teHs the poor man and the mechanic that his aim has been to make taxes as low as possible. If so. why has he pushed up the levy from W cents to 73 cents? Re cause he has Increased the expenses of the city beyond the increase of taxable prop erty. The mayor to!d his audience that he Is laboring to lighten the burdens of nun who are trying to pay for home?, in 1 when a bill was pending in the legislature to limit the tjx for street Improvements to 20 per cent, of the assessed value of the property. Mayor Taggart's Hoard of Public Works opposed it on the ground that It would Interfere with the extension of im provements. The Taarqart board did not want any Interference In carrying out a policy which has laid a burden of .V. 7j utid sometimes 10 per cent, of the value of th property doomed to pay for improve ments, but a Republican Legislature inter fered. A list of the men who were strug gling to pay for homes, but who have beej, compelled to give them up by the tix for improvements whhli did rot materia liy heneiU theni would be Intr:icti e. To swh men Mr. Tafiarts claim of trying to save them from th burdens of taxation is ghast ly sarcasm. Still playing th. d.-migsup. the mayor Roe on to say that tre little homes in this town are taxed to nearly their cash value, whiles the "p.ilatial homes of th? rich hae Hone at about one-half or two-thirds their alue." During cisht eirs Thomas Tag- gart, s auditor of Marion county, was the controlling official on the County Hoard of KevKw. There has been no ching in the g'r.eral polity of assessment since th c':t;ht car3 that Mr. Taggart wa chairmnn of th" review ing board. Thus, by his own con fession. Mr. Taggirt sat silent eii;ht i eurs whil" the pol ley of appraisrn-.ent and taxa tion he now denour.ees was in full operation. Till ST TIIKOKIKS AM) PR ACTH'C The experience of several of the exten sive industrial combinations called trusts docs not fulfill the expectations of those who promoted them. The Linseed Oil Com pany or trust furnishes an interesting Illus tration of the difference between trust theories ar.d actual operations. Prior to the first formation of the combination the price of lin-ed oil had averaged about . cents a galion in New York. A combina tion was made as, long :go as 1SS to con trol tho output so that there might be a profit in the business. The price was ad vanced to so high a figure that in tho J course of three or four years a number of J independent factories were built, which cau.-e-d the price to decline to the l'gure prevailing before the combination. The combination, thereupon, doubled its slock to buy up its competitors, the result of which was an advance In price?. Only a short limn ago the price was ') cents, but now it has dropped back to T.Ö cents, be cause the new crop of competitors has made it impossible to maintain price.-. The linseed oil trust has lost $2m,0m) by its efforts to sustain prices. The company is now probably unable to buy up its pres ent competitors, and probably would not if it could, because it h is learned that there is no limit to competition when prices are high. Another so-called trust which makes a bad showing- in its annual report is the Standard Rope and Twine Company, which succeeded the old cordage trust, which broke down prior to the panic of l:3. In lVi the company's net profits were 111,2T0, and $11.1,202 in lOon but the report just Is sued shows a net loss during the year of $IS7,701. The company has $12,(Xv,wO of stock outstanding which has never re ceived a dividend. These cases show that the trust is very much of an experiment. The greed of the Linseed Oil trust is evidently the cause of its undoing. If the managers had had the sagacity to raise the price to a figure which would pay a fair profit, the combination misht now be in a prosperous condition. Instead of doing so wise and so fair a thing the price was advanced to a figure which offered the temptation of an enormous profit to enter prising men who became competitors by building new and better plants. These plants the company purchased, but, learn ing nothing from experience. Its managers again pushed prices to a figure that tempted other capital to invest In linseed oil mills. The trouble with these two trusts is that their managers forgot to observe the much proclaimed beneficence of such combina tions by reducing the price to the consumer. The hopeful circumstance in these two cases is that no combination can maintain a monopoly, if It imposes prices that af ford a large profit, unless it has some se cret and unlawful advantage In transpor tation. Just now, when the public sense and conscience are roused against mob law, as a form of anarchy, it is timely to repro duce what the late President McKinley said on the subject. In his annual mes sage of IS'jO he said: The love of law and the sense of obedi ence and submission to the lawfully con stituted judicial tribunals are embedded in the hearts, of our people, and any violation of these sentiments and disregard of their obligations justly arouses public condem nation. The guarantees of life, libertv and civil rights should be faithfully upheld; the right of trial by jury respected and de fended. The rule of the courts should assure the public of the prompt trial of those charged with criminal offenses, and upon conviction the punishment should be commensurate with the enormity of the crime. Those who, in disregard of law and the public peace, unwilling to await the judgment of court and jury, constitute themselves judges and executioners, should not escape the severest penalties for their crimes. What I said in my inaugural ad dress of March 4, lü7, I now repeat: "The constituted authorities must be cheerfully and vigorously upheld. Lynching must not be tolerated in a great and civilized country like the United States. Courts, not mobs, must execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the integrity of courts and the orderly administration of justice must continue forever the rock of safety upon which our government securely rests." Recent events have given special weight and solemnity to these warning words. They should open the eyes of Americans to the fact that one of the first steps toward the suppression of anarchy should be the ending of mob law. Mr. Rrynn would not interfere with the freedom of speech, no matter how sedi tious and harmful it may be. The mnn who murdered President McKinley says ho was made an Anarchist by listening to an address of Emma Goldman. If he had not listened to that incendiary address he would not h?ve.been an Anarchist and the President would not have been assas sinated. In view of this generally admit ted fact relative to Czolgocz, would Mr. Rryan not interfere with tho-e Anarchist orators who are constantly declaring that every ruler in the world should be nssis slnated? If he would not, he seems willing to take the chance. of having the Most: and the Coldmans continue to instruct persons ;vith unbalanced intellects that it is their duty to assassinate President. If men and women had sound sense Anarchists might talk on, but, unfortu nately, a considerable number of persons who listen to such speeches have disor dercel minds which nre influenced by such sentiments. To declare that high of ficials are monsters who should bo put to death transcends the safe limit to free dorn of speech, because it incites weak minded men to take life. For that reason it should be regarded ns a heinous crime deserving severe punishment. In h's opinion City Attorney Kern practi cally aImits that the law ar.d the charter as it reads makes the tax limit apply to the assessed valuation of the year for which the loans are required. With so much practically admitted, few persons who are not experts in the elaboration of opinions to prove that other than a plain construction can be placed upon a lav.- will uudertaud the force of his ingenious ar gument by whih h" arihes at ih.- conclu sion that the laws to which h- refers, have a different meaning from that which is dis tinctly stated in the text. Whit a case Mr. Kern could make for the other if a Republican controller were attempting to do that which he defends Mr. Ininii in doing!

AVitli I.es Strnln on 3IInd mid Ilody Their Years Arc Longer Philadelphia Inquirer. Lives of Presidents remind us that, as a rule, they are much shorter than those of their wives. At this time there is but one person living who was elected President of the Republic, yet there are several wid ows of Presidents, and there are fewer now than formerly. Mr. Cleveland and his gracious wife still survive in good health. Mrs. Harrison still lives, but the Mrs. Har rison who entereei the White House in 1S30 ended her life there. Arthur was a wid- ewer when he became President, but Mrs. Oarfield and Mrs. Grant are still living. Mrs. Lincoln lived until recently, and it is not long since Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Polk died. Not counting assassinations. Presidents elected in the last sixty years have been short lived, or, at least, have not long sur vived their Incumbency. Harrison died in office, but Tyler lived longer after leaving the White House than most of his suc cessors. Polk lived but a few months aftci his term, Taylor died In office, and Fill more did not long survive. Pierce was tne yejungest man up to his time who entered the White House, and died a comparative ly young man. Ruchanan.was an older man, ami his demise was not unexpected. Lincoln was assassinated and Johnson died soon after his term ended. Just as he was about to take his seat in the Senate, the only ex-President so honored. Grant sur vived his terms eight years, Hayes a some what longer time, Arthur died a compara tively young man, and Harrison, though not young, was supposedly vigorous. Mc Klnley's untimely death completes the list. The burdens of the office of President are great, find as it is usually reached only aft er many years of labor in the field of statesmanship. It is not unnatural that the vitality of the incumbent is sapped. In four years. McKinley had aged more than a business man would In ten. With the wife of the President the situation Is dif ferent. There are a few months in the year when the duties of hospitality are somewhat taxing to the strength, but dur ing the rest she has no cares and respon sibilities except those of a domestic kind. The housekeeping is largely done for her and If she had a comfortable home her years might be those of pleasantness and peace. Unfortunately, the White House now is no larger than it was n century ago. while the increasing demands of the public service have turned most of Its rooms into offices. Surely this great and rich Nation might provide for its President and his lamily accommodations equal to that of tho ordinarily prosperous business man. When the Roosevelt family moves into the White House it will be cramped as never before, and if there is to be a guest retom the children will have to sleep In closets or on cots and trundle bes. There has been much complaint on this score by past mistresses of the mansion, but now that there nre more children to be accom modated than ever before the new mis tress of the White House will often ieh for the roomy house on Sagamore hill, where, until recently, her family was amply accommodated.

This brought them into contempt, and while tho large rafts arc a thing of the past, the name has stucJc to the poles of Fpper Silesia, who now work mo.-tly in the mines and iron mills.

To-day the archbishop is celebrating at Canterbury his silver wedding. Widespread sympathy will rurrcund the inun who has lived down the fiercest oppo sition encountered by any Kngllsh bishop of the present age. And the congratula tions will include her who. for five and twenty years, has been wife, counselor, secretr -y and center of the singularly happy family life of our greatest church man. Two things go to make him the most virile churchman of our day grip and grit. The one he owes to his intellect and the other to his character. Add to these his Industry and you havo all the essentials of a great career. The archbishop is "a very demon" for work, and" to prove It let rne ask you to bear the. Rishop of Carlisle. One morning when the bishop was stay ing at Lambeth, the archbishop said to liim, "Good-bye, bishop, till 4 o'clock to morrow morning." "What do you mean?" asked his lordship of Carlisle. "Why, after 1 have done my work in London to-day 1 shall catch a train for Bristol and there epoak to some four thousand workingmon. and then I shall catch the last train back to London and be here at 4 a. m." "And next morning at the breakfast table," says Bishop Bardsley, "the primate turned up, looking as fresh as paint." THt; RUGBY BOY'S VERDICT. Righty years of age this year, the arch bishop has weathered much In his long life. Born at Santa Maura, in the Ionian" islands. In 121, the son of Major Octavius Temple Cat one time Governor of Sierra Leone, the boy early lost his father, and was brought up in comparative poverty by a devoted mother. Educated at Tiverton school, he passed to Ralllol with a scholar ship and came under the tuition of Tait, afterwards archbishop of Canterbury. A "double-first" led him to a fellowship and tutorship at this illustrious college, and subsequently, by way of the Education Of fice and an inspectorship of schools, to the headmastership of Rugby in lSSS. Every one knows the Rugby boy's verdict on Dr. Temple "a beast, but a just beast" "the greatest compliment ever paid me," as Temple declared. It has been asserted that the grim "head" had an invariable formula when a boy approached him. He would exclaim in the broad speech jof the West country. "What's yer name? What d'yer want? Noa!" I do not vouch for it. as it is flatly opposed to the justice which is essentially Temple's; but I must admit that the opening words receive some sup port from a story I heard a well-known London viear tell at a dinner party given by a cannon of St. Paul's. He had been summoned to Fulham, and on being shown Into the study found the bishop hard at work writing. Not a word passed for a few minutes, and then the bishop looked up and rasped out, "What do you want?" The clergyman replied, "I want a chair, my lord." when the bishop at once became all pleasantness and in terest. THE OUTWARD BRUSQUERIE. I believe this story to be true, if only be cause it illustrates so well the primate's character. Grim, brusque, ruthless as a disciplinarian, great at concentration, and demanding thoroughness as he himself is thorough, the primate not only overawed the boys nt Rugby, but he exercised a rugged mastery over his clergy. But di rectly formalities are done with and work Is to be discussed his manner changes; he becomes sympathetic, kind, and even genial. Yet, owing to that brusque manner and the concentration that does not likely brook interruption, he has often been mis Judged; nor am I going to deny that some times he has laid himself open to it. And here's another story which may show it. When Temple was at Exeter a clergyman walked over from his parish, some six or seven miles away, to consult his diocesan. It was a hot, a elusty, and a thirsty day, and almost immediately con versation began the palace luncheon bell rang. The bishop dismissed the poor par son brusquely, with the very tantalizing re mark, "I must go to lunch." But at the next diocesan conference, of which, of course, the bishop was president, that par son related the story in full eletail, and re spectfully urged that the bishop failed in fatherly sympathy and was not, as a bish op should be, "given, to hospitality." Not the slightest sign of feeling appeared on Temple's face, and the ordinary debate pro ceeded; but when in due course he came to sum it up he simply referred to the story in these word: "As to what Mr. says, his narrative is true, and the accusation Is Just." Such courage and sincerltj outweigh much. Perhaps the stormiest part of the arch bishop's career followed on the publication of the famous "Essays anel Reviews." to which he contributed the first essay, while Professor Jowett. Baden-Powell, Mark Pattison, Dr. R. Williams and others sup plied the rest. The book was condemned by the bishops as heterodox; eminent church men like Burgon, Gouldburn, Lieldon, Pu sey, Cumming and Wordsworth denounceel It as "infidel;" scores of books and tracts poureel from the press with such titles as "Must We Burn Our Bibles?" and convoca tion declared that "awful consequences were to be dreaded." So enjoyable and popular, indeed, is a heresy bunt that no fewer than six thousand of the clergy me morialized the then archbishop of Canter bury to fulminate against the new- ration alists. Rut in the enl nothing came of the publication of views which have since be come popular and respectable, and in spite of the Btorm Temple held on to his head mastership with unyielding grasp. HARD DAY'S AT EXETER. But when, in lW. he became Rishop of Exeter (having supported Gladstone in his disestablishment of the Irish Church), his election was bitterly opposed. Of tho great gathering cf bishops, clergy and M. P.'s who worked against his "confirmation'' and Instructed counsel to appear for them at How Church, tho Bishop cf Gloucester and the dean of St. Paul's are alone the chief survivors. Happily all was in vain, and at Exeter, where they were ready to assail him, he made a good beginning by living in the cathedral city, which Henry Phllpotts, his eminent predecessor and bit ter opponent, had not troubled to do. More over, for the first time for many years, the bishop became a familiar figure in the re motest part. of that great diocese. Ho preached in tents, on village greens, and on the wild moors; and when, in Ssri. ho was translated to London, the farewell lie was given by his clergy and laity alike was affectionate and touching. He had ruled a difficult diocese, which cortaineJ a big percentage of fox-hunting and turbulent parsorts who had" "never been bothered by bishops." with ruthless disci pline but consistent jaMice; bo had shown judgment which rarely erred; he had worked like a horse, and with those in trouble he had been tender as a woman. In 1ST, while bishop of Exeter, he mar ried Hestrlce Lase-e. a granddaughter of the late Earl of Cnrlisle. and great-great-grandda Jghter To the beautiful Georgiua. Duchess of Devonshire, b'cme Mrs. Tem ple. And Tait. who ws then Arehhjsnnp of Canterbury, exclaimed to a friend. "What d'you think? Here's our only Rad. cal bishop going to marry a relative of three dukes! ' THE ARCH BISHOP'S AVI FE. Mrs. Temple ha proved a marvelous worker and organizer ar.d nf the very grestest he',; to her hlvi rid. who, with out a doubt, owes murh to h'-r womanly infiuep.ee. And wh n. on his elevation to the arohhihoprc in 1W. some ladies of the London diocese mad- her a beautiful gift, the archbishop, with that gentle- chivalry which has greatly grown on hfm durincr the last twenty jrnrs, ma this little vpeecb in reply: l assure you she is well worthy of any thing that can be given to h r or of any honor that c?n be paid to her. I ought to know, for I have lived with her for a long time, ar.d." ho added gravely and tenderly. "J think her the one woman In the world." Perhaps the trait fur which the arch bishop is most famous Is his gift of shrewd common sense. Every one knows how r-elr-nt nn advocate he'ia of temperance and what a foe of the public houe; but it is an amusing testimony to his popular reputa tion that when he was appointed Arch bishop of Canterbury a Liverpool pap-r should have published a paragraph to the effect that "the brewers are by no means alarmed by the appointment, äs they feel the fullest confidence In the primate's pre dominating common sense." We have heard a good deal lately of the "opulence of bishops." Dr. Temple has told ns that so Insistent are tho beggars that og the episcopal elbow tli it though he bad been able to save something at Rugby, he was obliged to borrow üö,' when lie came to London, and that he could save so lit tle out of the 10.00 a year bo received then that only a legacy left to his wife en abled him to pay the hi back. Which is clearly another good argument fcr church reform from top to bottom. QUELLED THE AGITATOR. JlirpwdMoio of Roosevelt's V.Iien He YVn Pollee Co tu in i I oner. Washington Special. A few minutes before 11 o'clock, the hour nt which the Cabinet was to meet, th President glanced out into the public re ception room and saw that it was almost filled with public men who were waiting to see him. Realizing that he would not have time to grant them a separate audience, be decided to give them a collective hearing. "Bring them all in at once," he said to Secretary Cortelyou. Accordingly about a dozen men of more or less prominence er ushered into the executive presence. Mot of them merely desired to pay their re spects. Among them were Represei:tatle Thaddeus M. Mahon, of Chambersburg. and Robert S. Lewis,, of the York-Adams district. "1 desire to congratulate you. Mr. 1 res ident, upon vour accession to your high of fice." said Mr. Mahon, "and to wish you n successful and prosperous administration. With Congress at your back, as it undoubt edly will be. 1 have no doubt that you will get along all right." "Oh! We'll get along; we'll get along. I'm sure of that." almost shouted Mr. Roosevelt in cheery tones. Then he ex tended his hand to Adolphu Solomons, of this city, who had a pleasant exchange of good wishes with the President. Mr. Solomons is in business in New Y'ork and knew Mr. Roosevelt there.- "As an lsralite." said Mr. Solomons. "I afterwards told the President that 1 could pledge him the love and loyalty of my peo ple. In response be said if 1 knew him, as he believed I did. I know that what be stood for was dealing with a man as a man, anel not because he belongs to any religion, race or country." Mr. Solomons added that he had given evidence In a most unmistakable manner. He proceeded to recall a story of Mr. Roosevelt when he was police commission er of New York. A foreign agitator named Ahrwald. a Hebrew baiter and an Anarch ist, arrived in New York for the purpose of attempting to start a crusade against Israelites. Cooper Fnlon was rented and there was every evidence that the Intention was to inaugurate a riotous demonstration. Commissioner Roosevelt sent for the police captains of the city and asked each one to detail him a squad of Hebrew policemen for duty at the meeting. When the agitator mounted the platform and the audience began to assemble about one hundred Hebrew policemen were scattered throughout the hall. The crowd caught on to the situation and the meeting was a most orderly one. Ahrwald regulated his remarks accordingly. IMPORTANT OMISSION. Xo Strong Box in evr Office of Michigan County Treasurer. a Detroit Tribune. As the hour approaches for moving into the new county building a most interesting discovery has been made. County Treasurer Buhrer, who claims the title of original discoverer, has called the attention of the auditors to the fact that his office is pro vided with no vault for the safe-keeping of cash and the Immensely valuable records that pertain to his duties. There are vaults for the use of drain commissioner, coroners and almost everybody else except the Jani tor and the county treasurer. The latter is frequently compelled to store 51o0.oHJ over night, besides official books and papers of the utmost importance, and he naturally feels that the omission unfits his new et fices for the use for which they were in tended. The situation is certainly remark able and requires an explanation. It may be, of course, that those who- were most active ana innuentiai in supervising tne work calculated that by the time the building was finished there would be no money in the county treasury, but their fondest hopes in this direction are unreal ized. We are willing to admit that they have done well, but the waste of H.Oön.i") doesn't break old Wayne, and it is obvious that some adequate provision must be made for guarding the remaining funds. It is just possible, however, that the con tract process of getting hold of public moneys is deemed too slow and cumber some, and that the omission of a vault was calculated to simplify the process anel facil itate transfers to private pockets. In that case the plot is discovered and frustrated. Whatever the reasons behind the building of a treasurer's ottlce without a vault, it is clear that the treasurer has a horse on the architect and building committee and that something will have to be done. Llfe-Potvcr in Laughter. Orison S. Marden, in Success. Was it not Shakspeare who said that a light heart lives long? The San Francisco Argonaut says that a woman in Milpites, a victim of almost crushing sorrow, despondency, indigestion. insomnia and kindred ills, determined to .mow ul ie K,uom wnicn was making life so heavy a burden to her, and established a rule that she would laugh at least three times a day, whether occasion was present ed or not; so sne trained herself to laugh heartily at the l?a-t provocation, and would r-tire te her room and make merry hv her self. She was soon iu excellent health and buoyant sp'rits; her home became a sunny, cheorful abode. It was said by one who knew this woman "vveli, and who wrote on the case for a popular magazine, that at first her hus band and enlldrcn were amused at her, and while they respected her determina tion because of the griefs she bore, they did not enter into the spirit of the plan. "But after awhile," said this woman to mo, with a smile, onlv yesterday, "the funny part of the idea struck my husband, and lie began to laugh every time we spoke of it. And when he came homo he would I ask me if I had had my 'regular laughs;' t and he would laugh when he asked MiV question and again when I answered It.

FINE MARBLE IN ALASKA. Larce Deposit Snld to Be Eqnnl to the- Carrara Product. Seattle Post-Intolliger.ecr. J. E. Cronin, who has recently returned fiom Marblo cretk, oa Prince of Wale Island, ami W. K. Sheldon, who has Just joined him from San Francisco, have sumo Monde rful stoiies to tell ef the due charac ter of the mr rble to l e founl at Shakan. on Prince Edward island. The ma i hie Is said to be equal to the best Italian marble. Mr. Sheldon raid: "When I received samples of this marble last February l naw at e nce tnat it was un Mko any marble now being produced In tlm United States, but identical with the mar ble produced in the world-famous quarries e.t Carrara. Italy. While there r.te a num ber tif profitable quarries iu the United States and a large amount of American marble is used, yet the Italian product has always occupied a field which no American marble couhi fill, as evidenced by the fact that during the fiscal year ended June IV. !!(.. nearly 40.une, tons ot Italian marbl were importe-d into the United States. This marble from Alaska, in texture, color and chemical analysis, is identical with the Carrara deposit, and there is no reason why it should not supplant the foreign product entirely. "I went to Alaska in March and found a mountain of high-grade marble. While I was fully convinced as to the quality of the material. I elid not wish to make a final re port on the property as a commercial prop osition until large blocks had been quar ried, taken to the market and sawed. W therefore quarried a number of blocks and I took them to San Francisco .and bad sev eral of them sawed. These blocks, cf course, were taken from the purfaoe- of th ground, and. having been subjected lo climatic influences for several centuries, were soft to a depth of several inches from the Hurface. but the trial demonstrat ed the fact that the deposit is a remark ably sound one, und 1 have every reason to believe that tho percentage of high- grade sound marble will be much larger ; than in any of the deposits now i,t .jnjj worked in the United States. In fact. when. vou consider that in developing marble quarries it is customary to take out and throw away from ten to twenty feet of the surface material, the results obtained are unprecedented. "The amount of the matter Is that on an island in southeastern Alaska, within a few feet of deep water, there is a larger area of high-grade marble than the com bined areas of all the quarries now be ins worked in the United States." WILL APPEAL TO THE CZAR. American Competition Klllinsr th (linmpngnr Industry In France. Taris Letter to London Times. The agriculturist r'arty of France doe not propose to allow the Czar's visit to be merely of a sentimental character, but de sires to take advantage of the presence of the chief of the Russian empire to demand the abolishment of the Russian duty on wine imported from France. The move ment to this end originate with the coun cil general of the Glronde department, one f tne rrnt winegrowing districts in th ,. hjt other departmental council signify tluir Inter.tlon of Joining In order to come to the rescue of the st.ff. ring vine yards.
