I2f3UliT TO VOLUNTEER.
When Theadore Rooievelt two
years ago wrote that now famous letter
to the secretary of war. in which he
declared that the "Rough Riders,"
of which he was the commander, were
"as good as any regulars and three
times as good as any state troop)," he
allowed his egotism to get the better
of his judgment to- a very considerable
extent. Right now Col. Roosevelt is
greatly in need of the votes of men
who made up the state troops of
which he wrote so contemptuously,
and the spectacular hero of El Caney
and Poison gulch would give much to
recall those wjrds. After all the letter
is characteristic of the man

WHAT WELLINGTON SAID.
George L. Wellington. Republican
senator for Maryland, spoke from the
samep!atform with W. J. Bryan, when
the latter opened the campaign in
that state. Mr. Wellington saij: "I
am here to-night to declare my unalter
able antagon ism to the policy of im
perialism and my opposition to the
representative of that vicious princi
ple. It is an occasion of more than
ordinary importance for any man to
antagonize the political party which
he has served for a quarter of a cen
tury; to which he has given . the best
years of his hie. and for which he has
achieved some success. It' brings
much bitterness and vituperation.
The vials of wrath have already been
opened upon me, and there will be
roueh that is unpleasant in the work I
have to do. I have, however, deter
mined to do that which I believe to
be for the best interest of my country.
I will do my whole duty and in the
performance of that duty I find it

A Butterfly Spectacle.
The inhabitants of New York were
astonished on Sept. 7 by an invasion
of butteiiiies, which suddenly appeared
by thousands fluttering about the tall
buildings, alighting on the grass in the
parks, spreading their broad, orange
hued sails above the roaring traffic in
the streets, and even threading the
wiry mazes of the Brooklyn bridge.
They belong to the variety known aa
the Monarch, or Milkweed butterfly,
which measures from three to four
inches across the wings. The cause of
their strange invasion is not known.
They dif ippeared as suddenly as they
had come.
French Rage for Orders.
To the institution of orders, medals
and diplomas in France there is no
limit. The latest is diplomas for
washerwomen. The washerwomen, to
be sure, occupy a conspicuous position
on the Seine and have played an im
portant part in the life of Paris, es
pecially in revolutionary periods. They
are nearly as formidable as the market
women. The government has estab
lished this new order and awarded
tvrelve medals. The important duty of
distributing the diplomas to the prize
washerwomen is discharged by the
ministry of commerce.
