tional encampment at Oklahoma City In
1907. It is said Presfdent Roosevelt will assist
Major Miiler to bring 'about the desired
result.
A pleasant incident in connection with
the reception of the United Spanish War
Veterans by President Roosevelt at the
White House came to light today. It was
the meeting bit ween Col. Roosevelt and
Capt. William E. English of Indianapolis,
past commander-in-chief of the I'nitett
Spanish War Veterans. When Capt. English
and Mrs. English were reached in the
line of veterans, the President stopped the
whole line while he warmly clasped the
| hand of Capt. English and said to those
nearby:
"Capt. English and 1 had a little experience
at Santiago that will always draw us
closely together, for the same shrapnel shell
that gave his horse a wound, causing his
own severe injury by the horse falling with
and upon him. also gave me a slight wound
on the arm. I am always glad to greet
Capt. English, you may be sure."
One of Georgia's Delegates.
Among the familiar faces at the encampment
was that of Capt. Chas. W. Parker,
who was a delegate from Georgia. He is
the chief signal otticer-elect of the national
body and while here was greeted by many
of his former associates. After serving seventeen
years in the Ohio National Guard
Cant. Parker went into the Spanish Amer

Referring to the action of the encampment
In falling to create a national head*
quarters for the adjutant general at Washington.
Col. Harrison said: "Theoretically
such a headquarters would be an admirable
adjunct to the Interests of the United Spanish
War Veterans, but practically it would
not work so well, for this reason: The adjutant
general should at all times be In
close touch with the conimander-tn-chtef.
The former is. In fact, the personal representative?the
private secretary and confidential
man, if you will?of tho latter.
It Is he who receives and carries out the orders
of the commander-in-chief. He Is not
elected, but is appointed by the chief, who
naturally desires to have the. adjutant general
as close to himself as possible. Suppose,
for instance, that the commander-inchief
lives in Boston, or Milwaukee, or San
Francisco?or, as; he will be In the case next
year, tn Buffalo?would It not create unwelcome
expense and delay if he had to
transact all official business pertaining to
the order through Washington? It was not
that the encampment had any feeling
against this city that the proposition was
turned down. It was simply a matter of
business economy."
Incidents of the Encampment.
A number of articles, including several
pocketbooks containing varying amounts,
were lost during the encampment. Mr.
Maurice Auerbach. chief clerk of the Pittsburg

RUBENS' ANTWERP HOUSE.
A Society Man?Very Unlike His Pic.
tures?Very Tender Son.
From T. P.\s Weekly of London.
A peculiar Interest attaches to any house
In which a great man has lived?it Is as If
its atmosphere had somehow been lifted
out of the commonplace by the clinging
reminiscences of a temperament abnormal
In efficiency and thought. And recently an
article in Le Mercurie of Paris was devoted
to nothing but an impression of tho house
which Rubens built for himself at Antwerp,
a beautiful house with a beautiful garden,
spacious, reserved, discreetly ornate and
sumptuously distinguished. Above the door
is a plate bearing the following ins. rlj>tIon
in Flemish:
P. P. Rubens,
Born at Antwerp,
1577.
Built this house,
lUl'J.
Died in it.
1W0.
The statement is like a little epitome of
the man's life; hut, as a matter of fact,
though Rubens was born and also settled
and died In Antwerp, he spent much of Ills
life in other places.
Few people remember that in addition to
being one of the most prolific of great painters,
Rubens was also a very distinguished
society man. remarkable for culture, charm
of manner, tact and the management of
political affairs. As a child lie was a page,
uu ~ P.. ..ill*.. r . _ . i I

induced his people to send him as a pnpil to
Van Haeght, a landscape painter, famous in
his day. At twenty-three he went to
Venice to study painting there, and <it the
same time became gentleman of the rliam- I
ber and court painter to tlie Duke of Man*
tua. Later on the duke seni him on a political
mission to Philip II of Spain, where he
enjoyed all the attentions of an ambassador.
This coblnation of the political official and
the artist is a curious fact in Kubens' life.
For in Spain, having successfully managed
the mission upon which he had been sent,
he painted portraits of the king and several
of the grandees of the court, besides large
subject pictures. Rubens was very unlike
his pictures. In his paintings the escape
from excess is always only very narrowly
done, but in his person he was full of selfcontrol,
dignity and a gentle urbanltj. An
Englishman, Sir Dudley Carlton, called him
"the prince of painters and a gentleman,"
and he was extraordinarily handsome to the
end.
He was also tender-hearted. When his
mother died, in 1608. he suffered so acutely
that he shut himself un in a mimaalwv for
four months, refusing to see any one. find
thlB at a time when his popularity was already
extraordinarily great. He was twice
married, the famous Helen Fourment, .said
to have been only sixteen when he married,
feeing his second wife. Reubens' answer
to an alchemist gives a good idi-a of
his temperament. The alchemist had come
to beg for money with which to find the
philosopher's stone. "My friend," said
Rubens, "you come too late. I found that
twenty years ago with this palette and
these brushes."
concerning sweat.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
To the editor of the Chicago Chronicle:
As a reader and admirer of the Chronicle
you must pardon me for calling your attention
to the fact that in two editorials
on the same day you used the word
"sweat." I must confess It gave mo something
of a shock. I have always regarded
the word as vulgar -and am astonished to
meet with It in the editorials of such a
newspaper as the Chronicle. ARGUS.
This is a highly appropriate topic for the
' heated term, and the criticism, though it
does not seem to have any merit, will be
treated as seriously as if It had.
"Argus" no doubt refers to the illstinotlon
between "sweat" and "perspiration."
He would say of a horse that he "sweated,"
but of a man that he "perspired." The distinction
is a common one, but he .has
strangely overlooked the fact that It was
duly observed in the editorial referred to,
which aDDlied the word only to horses and
cows.
At the same time there ia no great Impropriety
in applying the word to human beings.
The substitution of the word "perspiration"
for It is a sort of modern fad
and the good old Saxon word for man and
beast was "sweat."
One of the finest models of the English
language is the Bible, in which the word
"perspiration" in not found, and In which
the word "sweat" occurs in ever-memorable
passages. The primal curse on man
In the garden of Eden was, "In the sweat
of thy face thou shalt eat bread," and con
cerning the awrui spectacle in the garden
of Gethsemane, it is said, "His sweat -was
as it were great drops of blood falling
down to the ground."
There is a demon' forever at work tinkering
the English language, and never for
the better. This demon has found out that
man Is not an "animal" and makes intelligent
people speak of "men and animals."
Another piece of his handiwork was the
distinction between "sweat" and "perspiration."
It is settled now, but it was
for a long time a mere fad. The transition
period was illustrated in the remark of an
old preacher in the south that he "perspired
a great deal of sweat."
"Sweat" is not onlv a Brood word but a.
good thing. Nobody Is healthy or strong
without It. There Is no greater marvel and
no greater blessing in connection with the
human economy. The Chronicle advises
"Argus" to sweat freely and not to be
, ashamed to confess it.

ME. HEARST ACCEPTS
HIS LETTER TO THE DEMOCRATIC
CHAIRMAN.
Last night at Elmira the following letter
was received from William Randolph
Hearst accepting the democratic nomination
for governor of New York state. It was
addressed to William J. Conners, dhairman
of th'' democratic state committee:
William J. Conners, Chairman Democratic
State Committee?Dear Sir: I accept the
nomination of the democratic party, bearing
In mind the record of that great party
In the past, and knowing that the meml>ership
of the party is determined still to be
ruled by the principles of Jefferson and
Jackson, and guided by democracy's ideal,
"the greatest good of the greatest number."
To study the work, the beliefs and the
faithful efforts of the democracy's great
leaders is an inspiration to all mi n sincerely
in accord with the American theory of gov- j
ernment.
True democrats must stand with Jefferson
and Jackson, for the best interest of the
whole citizenship, rather than for the selfish
interests of anv particular class or Individ
ual seeking for special privilege.
It cannot be denied that certain individuals
and classes have at times secured control
of the machinery of the democratic
party and attempted to use it for their own
personal or class profit.
The duty of true democrats is to drive
from the party those that represent only
special Interests and those that seek to promote
such Interests at the expense of the
general welfare.
The democratic convention at Buffalo did
this In a most conspicuous and effective
manner.
Democrats so-called, but seekers after
spinial privileges In reality, were driven
over into the republican party, where those
or ineir cias3 nourisn.
The line Is now, clearly drawn between
gptn'ial privilege on the one hand and equal
opportunity on the other.
The democratic party, purged In this state
of corporation control and pledged to end
the boss control through which corporations
act, now has an opportunity to serve the
people as efficiently as It did In the times
of Jefferson and Jackson.
Lest We Forget.
We know how quickly men will forget. If
allowed to do so, the rights or the masses
of the people.
Already, in the time of Jefferson, the socaHod
aristocracy had begun to look upon
the Declaration of Independence as a theoretical
expression of sentiment not to be
considered practical or actually binding.
Already, In Jefferson's diay, this selfcfooeen
aristoofticy expressed .doubt of the
o ?\.j IUI 6'4* nui\;ui.
Invariably we find that a declaration by
the people of their determination to rule
must constantly be followed1 up, constantly
protected against the determined effort ot
Individuals to take over for their own interests
the governing poorer that the people
are righteously determined to keep in
their own ihands.
Today we see again the effort to deprive
the people of self-government, to vest the
powers of government in the hands of
corporation attorneys representing special
interests.
This un-American condition reached Its
climax in the state of New York as illustrated
in the New York city election last
year.
On that occasion the disbelief of the
trusts In the ability or the right of the
people to govern themselves extended even
to taking away from the people the right
to vote and to have their votes counted.
It Is clear that there is urgent need of
strong, determined, united action by the people
of thje country, when the corporations
reach a degree of hardihood in Which they
actually order their employes In office toforbld
the counting of the people's votes, and
then reward these public officials, faithless
to the people, by again nominating them
for office, that the people may again be betrayed.
One for the Judges.
I refer to members of the republican legls
mure ana to *uie auunitiy general, renominated
now by the republican party machine
as a reward for refusing to the people
the right to count their own ballots.
The people have not only a right to selfgovernment,
but they have alone the capacity
for self-government on a permanent.
just, enduring dusis.
Just government In a republic demands
that government shall be carried on In accordance
with the needs of the mass of tho
people.
How can an Individual or class seeking
special privileges know what the people
want or what they need?
How can a self-chosen aristocracy underctnnil
the needs of a nation, and how In the
nature of things can they be expected, if
in power, to represent anything save their
own selfish interests?
The people can alone understand and constantly
supply their own needs. The duty
that devolves upon democrats and all of
those anxious to preserve American institutions
is not complex or beyond the ordinary
understanding.

Jackson, it is only necessary to be sincerely
democratic and loyal to democratic principles.
The attitude that the democracy should
take toward great capitalistic organizations
now is precisely that of Jackson toward
the United Slates Bank, which appeared
as a menace In his day.
The property right of every man and of
every organization of any kind must be respected,
but today, as In the days of Jackuan
It la ?iuniicu'i r\r fViut rtr\ iintL'u?
shall rise up greater than the government,
or menacing to the government.
Tiie democrats of today must declare,
and they must mean, that no matter how
groat the wealth of individuals or corporations,
that wealth must not tie an irresponsible
dominating power In government.
Money in Elections.
No organization of money, however great,
must overrule the votes of the citizens, or
deprive of his vote any single citizen.
Tlie activity of trusts in politics and their
power, in government have been, unfortunately.
great, and very plain to all in recent
years. The trusts absolutely inimical
to the public, welfare have been able to
dominate In both parties by giving special
rewards to unscrupulous bosses, and thus
nominating on l>oth sides candidates subsequently
controlled by the trusts.
Money has been used before elections to
Influence nominations and to defeat the
public will on election days.
Ana alter election money is used to iinoe
legislatures, to buy ' laws that organized
capital wants, or to buy Immunity from
laws passed in the people's Interests.
There are certain Imperative demands
which represent the popular will at present.
But these demands, based on Justice
and right, Uo not caK' for any new theory
of government, for any new political or social
system In our nation.
They simply demand enforcement of
American principles, of democratic principles,
as those principles have existed for
mora than a century.
Eight-Hour Law.

*"V MV/ W..W VVU>W1>.
open primaries and the passage of direct
i nomination laws to bring the government
| airectly under the control of the peopl-e.
The passage of such laws would be purely
and simply democratic. For democracy demands,
above all, the greatest good for the
greatest number.
And the welfare of the majority demands
that the voters Khali have alJ possible control
of those whom they put in office.
The enforcement ..of the eight-hour law
in government work, the enforcement of tae
ihw concerning lite prevHiiuig iaL?tjL w.tgea,
1h demanded by the people, and it is demanded
l>y a democratic principle as old as
the Declaration of Independence. Control
by the government of railroads and railroad
rates means control of a national necessity
upon which the prosperity and the comfort
of the whole people depend.
The people demand honest, rigid government
Inspection and control of the banking
department and the insurance department
in the state of New YorK. That again Is
simply an expression of democratic doctrine.
The welfare of the people depends upon
honesty on tno part or tnose to wnom ineir
savings are Intrusted. It is plain, old-fashioned
democrkcy to demand that the government
shall protect the savings of the
honest citizen and protect his family
ngjinst dishonesty in banking or in insurance
concerns that operate under government
sanction.
Accepts With Thanks.
Democracy speaks also in denunciation
of the great Chinese labor menace, which
Is now revived because of the Introduction
on a large scale of Chinese labor at Panama.
The suggestion to introduce into this
country and to employ by the taxpayers of
this country a people of low intelligence,
and still lower morals, is an attack upon
thA welfare moral and material, of Am:>i-i
can citizenship.
A Chinese Invasion, which menaces the
nation, In view of unlimited importation of
Chinese to this continent, would mean Inevitably
a lowering of the standard of living
In this country and a positive danger
to our high civilization.
The old democratic principle, "The greatest
good of the greatest number," demands
sternest rebuke at the polls of this shame
ful disregard of the public will shown In
the opening by the United States government
of bids for Chinese labor.
I accept tho nomination of the democracy
proudly, as I recall the great names
from Jefferson to Tilden that the party has
honored and that have honored the party.
I accept the nomination glady, realizing
the opportunity for useful work which Is
offered today to all of those that may be
elected to office as servants of the people,
and anxious to deserve the confidence of
the people.
I promise faithfully. If elected, to do all
that I can as a citizen of the United States
In office to realize and apply the great principles
of the historic democratic party.
I pledge myself to work with others to
rid the democratic party, and so far as poa
slblo all branches of government, or tnai
plutocratic trust element that seeks to rule
both parties and to destroy the democratic
party utterly.

TO PREVENT THE COMMON COLD.
Put on Heavier Clothing and Keep

From the New York Herald.
Coughs and "colds" are just now very
prevaJetit In consequence of the lowered
temperature of tho last few days. Th*
sudden change has taken us unawares and
there Is widespread suffering as the results
Indeed, the catarrhal affections are ulni"st
of epidemic form. We are hardly prepared
for almost winter weather in early autumn.
In many homes the fires have not l?ee?
started and the discomforting chilliness is
doing Its work.
The ordinary attack of cold is the consequence
of a. general cooling of the body,
whereby the blood from tho surface la
forced upon the internal organs. The nm
cous membranes of the imse and bronchial
passages are ttiose most afTeeted, becoming
congested and inflamed and relieving th>ir
turgidity by copious secretions. Nature is
always kind ei.ough t<? give us due warning
of an attack of tht- distemper by a sense
of shivering ind chilliness. The longer
these sensations last the more the danger.
The continuance of the coldness not onljr
lowers vital resistance, but indirectly i an-"*
a more or less permanent congestion <>i the
deener nnrts* o' the bodv This ootid it inn is
brought about more- particularly )>y sitting
in cold rooms, by exposure to draughts and
by insufficient clothing.
The strong and healthy individual is least
liable to such Influences, hut sooner or
later If the cause be continually working
he succumbs. It is the penalty of inattention
to little things. In this climate on*
cannot live by any rule of season- Th? .
almanac is 110 criterion for dressing to keep
comfortable. The thermometer is tin onljr
true Interpreter of our needs in that regard.
In coming cold weather the first (hang*
should be with the underclothing. Th?
Englishman understands this necessit> better
than we do, puts on his under woolens,
and even during winter can endure a low
temperature in his room which would tnako
comfortable. It is a matter of training tho
body to meet cofistajitly occurring emergencies.
We say his house Is always cooler than
ours, which is true enough, but he wisely
conserves his bodily heat by proper clothing
rather than obtain It bj an overdriven
hot-air furnace. When we admit
that weakened vital resistance is the usual
forerunner of catarrhal troubles we havo
the strongest reason* for counteracting
such Influence.
The cold morning plunge has answered
this question very satisfactorily for such
as have the hardihood to keep up the practice
the year round. Such persons seldom
take "cold." when their weaker brothers
would be certain of a severe seizure. They
have the extra glow of skin, an increased
surface warmth that acts as an extra garment,
always with them and always a
ready protective against any sudden change
of temperature.
The opposite to this condition is that in
duced by the Am<Tican habit of overheating
our apartments and making us doubly
susceptible to the cold outside. YVe cati
keep comfortable without baking ourselves.
All these precautions may seem trivial to
the one who does not stop and think. Now
Is the time, however, to make the good
resolutions, backed by sensible practices.
that will enable most of us to escape all
the numerous catarrhal troubles which wa
are made to be-lleve will come to us whether
or no. Then, too, the pneumo-coccus may
be waiting for his fatal inning.
Mahogany's "Discovery."
From Home Notes.
Every one knows how effective and handsome
mahogany Is when used for good
furniture, but few know how its value was
first discovered.
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century a London physician had a brother
engaged In trade with the West Indies who,
on one occasion, brought home several logs
of mahogany rs ballast. The doctor was
building a house, and his brother suggested
that the logs wou'.d serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal the doctor gave or
ders to tne worKmen to umnc use ul mc
mahogany, but their tools were not equal
to the task of cutting the hard wood, and
tlfc; logs were put out of the way in a
corner in the garden.
Some time afterward the head carpenter
tried to make a box from the wood, but
was unsuccessful with ordinary tools. He
told the doctor, who was interested in the
baffling timber, and ordered heavier tools
to be made to work It with. When this
was done, and a box at last made and
polished, it was so handsome^that a bureau
was made from another of the despised
logs, and this was dec'ared by experts to
be so superior to other furniture-making
woods that the craze for mahogany set in,
and furniture made from it became highly
popular, the then Duchess of Buckingham
fostering the craze in the fashionable
world.
