WHY THOMAS GOT LEFT.
A Laugh That Took the Wind Out of
an Endorsement

A Laugh That Took the Wind Out of
an Endorsement.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-Ex- -Representa-
tive Thomas of Illinois might have had the
place of American commissioner on the
commission to adjudicate Venezuelan
claims, il he would have taken it ''iu full of
all demands" But it. would only last a
year and would only pay $1,000, 50, having
ascertained by telegraphing to Deer Park
that if he got that office ne would get no
other, he said he would wait for something
better. What he expects is the commissioner
ship of public lands, which has been vacant
ever sincs Com missioner Stockslager re-
signed. Mr.. Thomas tells his friends tnat his
commission for this Office has been signed.
NOT SEALED AND DELIVERED.
But apps %ntly it has not been sealed
and delivered for no official announcement
of it has yet been made, and the friends OF
ex-Gov. Stone of Iowa, who, as deputy
commissioner, has been conducting the
general land Office, are hopeful that he may
yet be appointed.
1t seems difficult to account for the failure
of Mr.. Thomas TO get any of the numerous
offices he has tried for from Secretary Of
the Navy down. He served ten years in
congress very creditably, and was only re-
tired by his constituents because he seemed
to have taken up his residence IN w ashlI Ig-
ton and only went to his district in cam
paign time.
HIS COMMITTEE WORK.
He had served latterly on the naval affairs
committee with energy, and had won at
tention. His backing for the cabinet place
was unquestionably very strong. Most of
it at first was from Pennsylvania and not
from Illinois, but eventually he had at least
pertunctory support from most of the Hi
nois leaders.
Before that came, however, an incident
occurred which is commonly cited by Hi
nois men as explaining Why Mr. Thomas
has gotten nothing yet. 1t seems that when
Senator Cullom went out to Indianapolis to
talk cabinet with the President-elect the
first thing the President-eiect SAID to him
was: 81 am getting a good many letters
recommending Capt. Thomas of your state
for Secretary of the Navy. Isn't he rather
a cheap sort of fsllow9'
Sena or Cu!lom laughed, it is said, and
then proceeded to give Mr. Thomas as
strong an Endorsement as he could without
recommending him. But his laugh, which
was peculiar, mad taken the strength out Of
his Endorsement in advance.

The Newspaper Stuff About Baby
Mckee Getting Chestnutty
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-ThePresident has
been annoyed by the frivolous stuff appear
ing in some newspapers about his family
and especially by the voluminous references
to Benjamin Harrison Mckee, in many of
which ne has been alluded to as Benny" "
A gentleman just from Deer Park says that
some rather fresh young women were try
ing to make friends with young Master
Mckee one morning while his grand
father was standing near. They had been
reading the newspapers and seemed to think
the child's name was Benny" So
all they said began with Benny"
''It was Benny this, and Benny that" said
the gentleman from Deer Park, Benny
come here, and Benny go there. The Presi-
dent stood 1T as long as he could, and then
turning slowly around, said gently but
firmly, Ladies the child's name is Benja-
min The little McKee's have not bee II
named at Deer Park since"

A PRIEST DEFIEs A BISHOP.
The Bottom of the Trouble An Old
Quarrel About Pew Rent.

Quarrel About Pew Rent.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept Ga special
from Pierce City, Mo-, to the Times says;
Yesterday a jury returned verdict of not
guilty in the case of the state Of Missouri
versus Father Hynes. This was a case of
malicious mischief for breaking stile at
the Catholic cemetery, of which Father
Hynes had had control for ten
years. A warrant was swora out hy
Dennis Noonan, at the instance of Bishop
Hogan, as the deed to the cemetery
was in the, bishops name. A fight has been
going on between Bishop Hogan and Father
Hynes for six wears. 1t was first started
by some rebellous parishioners who refused
to pay rev rent and enlisted Bishop Hogan
in their behalf. The bishop suspended
Father Hynes out two years ago, and the
priest took trip to Rome and was rein
stated by the propaganda.
REFUSAL TO LEAVE TOWN.
"A short time AFTER his return the hishon
ordered him TO Higginsville, and as the
members of his church continued to stand
by him ne refused to go, whereupon Bishop
Hogan susp nded him and brought suit in
ejectment to get him out of the church
property. and also had him arrested
for breaking the stile TO the ceme-
terry. rather HyneS conUlnueS 10 hoid
services, holding that as the
deed to the church property was
made under the Dake constitution, the con-
veyance was void and the property belongs
to the members of the parish who are with
him. The priest will pay no attention to
suspension, claiming that the bishop has no
authority to suspend priest. He said to-
day: II have taken this fight upon my own
shoulders, for other priests as well as my
self. Many Of them are ignorant Of their
rights. Father McGlYnn was too weak"
