IZenry Doblin has learned the lesson of the "biter bit" He was Charles Dick sons business manager when the actor was out under his own management, and by bit of clever diplomacy secured the same position after Dickson concluded his arrangements to star noxt year under Ed Abrams management. Meeting Dickson in New York day or two after, Doblln told him of his engagement and casually asked Dickson if he had any money.
 s"I've got small wad left, replied the actor, pulling out three twenties and five.
 Doblin grasped the situation instanter and said, "Let me have half of it." He suited the action to the word by helping himself to two of the twenties 1.-Two for me and two for you, he remarked and walked off.
 Meeting George June in front of the Sturtevant House, he shouted "Come in and have something, George. I've just fimflalnmed Charley" When he stepped up to the desk to settle, he proudly pulled out his twenties and winked at Juno as he passed one to the cashier,
 "What kind of money do you call thatT' asked the cashier.
 "Why2 Whats the''--- replied Dob lin
 Then he collapsed. He had hipf1am- med Dickson out of stage money.

Price from some one signing herself Miss Legaia. in which she asked for tho return of the child to herself and claiming to be the sister of the child's mother.
 Not long after the little girl was taken into the Price family she was kidnapped while returning from school one day, but was soon recovered. Other attempts were made to secure possession of the child by persons who seemed in some manner in tercsted in her. It finally became neces- sary for some member of the family or trusted friend to accompany the child to and from school each day. This continued until, as final resort, MT. Price took up his residence directly opposite the school building, so that the child was seldom. for even moment. out of sight of some member of the family Even, it is said, up to very recent date extraordinary pre- cautions have been taken to insure her pro lection by residence as servants in the Price household of authorized guardians of the peace.

THE FACTS FROM BEssEMER

To the Age Il erald:
 BEssEMER, Aug. 8.--In this mornings paper MT. Kolb stated that here in Bes- sener more than 400 of his followers were denied an opportunity of casting their ballots on account of opposition voters crowding the polling places, being mate- rially aided by officers of the law in block ing the polling place to the disadvantage of his voters. This would be an indignant people if it were not so generally known that the egotistical leader of the third party was noted for lack of veracity, and I would like 10 state that there was not more than 100 voters who were unable to cast their ballots, and they would not have been de- nied that privilege but for the wrangling of the Kolbite markers. It is extremely pos- sible that seventy five of the 100 voters left out were Kolb men, but they are responsi. ble for their having got left.
 The negroes here had been influenced to such an extent by anarchistic harangues by Sovereign and others that they almost believed this to be race question. l saw fraud perpetrated by the Kolbites and can prove it. ED 5. BANS.

modern practice of diplomacy was that
when there is a change OF government
the minister accredited there succeeds
Is the new government. In France the
American minister was the first to rec
ognize The new republic. In Hawaii
every foreign power represented there
had r~ecognized the new government. 1t
was proper that sympathy shonin be
expressed from oIr government when
an old opera bontfe monarchy was going
out OF existence. He should be ashamed
OF this country IL its minister had not
felt that sympathy. 1t was the open
expressed sympathy OF this government
for South American countries that aided
the establishment OF those republics.
He cited the case Of Mexico al sod AS
an American citizen he hoped the tdaY
was far distant when the United States,
would be afraid to express its sympathy
with advanced ideas. When the throne
is tOtteiing,i it is cause for gratitude and
expression of sympathy within the
limits OF international law. E
SENATOR WHITE, =
in reply, commended that a minister's
recognition of a new government Is bus
suggestion TO the parent government,
and must be ratified. When q mon
archial government Is swept out OF
power the parent government must de-
eide whether the minister ShalbcOr-i
tinue to recognize it OF represent his
government there. Mr.. Stevens should
have remained faithful TO the govern
ment To which he was accredited, or.
have withdrawn. We expressed SYM
pathy with South American republics,
but waited seven years to recognize
them.
Senator Teller said that he now heard
for the first time ministers accredited TO
a government owed fealty to that gov
eminent, and that if the minister sought
to destroy that government, even this
vice did not follow his government.
The president had not declared it was
his duty to restore the queen, II hay-
ing failed had RENTED the duty to con-
greSS. But the senate would not say
that congress should do this. The prac-
teal question is, are we going to keep
these people in a turmoil by maintain
ing a minister there who was expressly
unfriendly to the de facto government.
Senator White disclaimed any inten-
tion of holding that a minister owed
fealty to the government to which he
was accredited. A resolution by Senator
German to print 5000 copies or the
Hawaiian papers was adopted.
At sos O'Clock, on motion of Senator
German, the senate went into executive
session, and at 5:45 p. Ii. the senate
adjourned.

An Important Acquisition.

Boston Transcript.
While the Episcopal church in New
England is rejoicing at the accession of
a new bishop, whose power promises
SO much for his diocese, the Unitarian
church has no less reason to congratu-
late itself that 1T has brought back one
who has won laurels as bright in the
West as those which DR.. Hall has
brought to the diocese Of Vermont.
Rev. Samuel NJ. Crothers, of st. Paul, has
accepted the call OF the First parish in
Cambridge, and will enter upon his new
duties in May. The Influence which
has spread from Mr.. Crothers' ministry
into every town in Minnesota has not
been anfelt in New England. First in
Brattleboro. and since then in the lead
ing Unitarian pulpits which have yainly
sought to win him from his Western
post, MIR. Crothers has won a sure and
merited place among the leaders Of his
denomination.
In his position as one of the preach
ers to the university he has shown in
telIectual power of the highest order.
and has won a regard which makes his
coming to Cambridge as significant with
relation to Harvard college as it is to
the Unitarian denomination. AS a
preacher, Mr.. Crothers' manner is
quiet, and his style is distinguished by
an intellectual clearness and simplicity
which gives the marked spirituality of
his teaching its exceptional effective
ness. Representing in the West the
constructive purpose of U%nitarianism,
ne brings to the East his sagacity ana
the light of disciplined aims OF the
noblest order. Without the title which
would bring such an accession promi-
nently before the public, MIR. Crothers'
coming to our intellectual center is
intrinsically worthy of general notice.
The West may continue to look to the
East for its wise men now that the East
has regained from the West q teacher
OF such rare powers. And we may
congratulate our Unitarian brethren
that one of their most important posts
has been so happily filed, and that they
have gained a personality whose re-en-
forcement to Eastern Unitarianism will,
we confidently prophesy, be telt by the
entire community.

NORTH OAKOTAH THISTLE.
SENATOR HzRS8R0VcH ADDRESSES
the COMMITTEE ON AcRicW TURE.
HE WANTS A MILLION DOLLARS

From the Government to Fight
the Pest-Damage Inficted i N
1903 Was Five Millions
Prospects Are Not Bright for
Any Aid From Uncle sam
Southern Opposition.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 81. From the
views expressed by members OF the
house committee On agriculture, the
prospect of a favorable report upon one
OF the bills for a government appropria-
ton to exterminate the Russian thistle
from the wheat lands OF the northern
middle states is not bright.
Senator Hansbrough, OF North Da-
kota, was accorded an audience by the
committee that he might explain the
necessity for aggressive measures
against the pest which is playing havoc
in the Dakotas and adjoining lands.
His bill to appropriate 81. 200, 900 for
the purpose had been %favorably re-
ported from the senate committee on
agriculture.
Reports of the department of agri-
culture experts quoted by the senator
estimate the
DAMAGE INFLICTED
by the weed in 1892 at So, 600, 600, and in
1898 at IS. DOC, 900. with the prediction by
Botanist Frederick V. Cayille that, if
represslve measures are not adopted,
the annual damage in the near future
Will reach S25, DOC, 600. The inability of
the states to cope with the recently I'M
ported pest was set forth by the senator.
In his speech to the committee last
week Gov. Shortridge, of North Dakota,
said that the states would gladly make
assessments upon their taxpayers for
discriminating the thistle. cooperating
with the government in IFS apprepria-
lions. but did not feel able to carry on
the warfare unaided. This statement
was contradieted by Senator Hans
brough. who said that the states were
already taxed to their constitutional
limit. so that new taxes upon them
were impossible.
In answer to a question
SENATOR HANSBRoUGH
told b committee that Secretary of
Agriculture Morton had written to the
senate committee that he did O think
the government could be properly called
AVL ouSh
a purpose.
One Southern member of the commit
tee said that his state was overrun with
stumps and stones. and that the govern
ment might DE asked to give money for
removing them.
The Hansbrough plan. the senator
explained, would involve a cost of so
cents an acre for removing the thistles.
he infested country would be divided
into districts, Ill each Of which the work
would be in charge of a superintendent
at a salary of $3.50 a day. A member
commented OIL this plan that it would
make thistle raising more profitable
than wheat growing.
j. II. Brigham, of Delta, O., master of
the National Grange. read to the com
mlttee a paper commencing the work of
the agricultural experiment stations.
An impression had gone abroad, he
said. that the stations were to be done
away with. and he urged the committee
to continue appropriations for them,
declaring that their work was invaluable
and fully appreciated by farmers.
