IL Doesn't Take Thirty Rooms to Boom
Mr.. Reed In.

New York, Novembert 19.-Within two
week sCongress will, open, and statesmen
are making their way toward the Capt.
tai. Nearly every politician of prominence
makes visit to New York previous to
going to Washington; as result the city
is now full of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and Democrats and, of course there is a
great amount of political gossip floating
around loose. The Fifth Avenue Hotel
seems to be the storm centre and yester-
day the corridors of that house resembled
the ante-chamber of Republican. conven-
ton. Ex-President Harrison was in the
city and naturally was the man most
talked about by the politicians
The recent arrival from the West OF
Joseph H. Manley of Maine was an ad-
ditional theme for discussion. Mr.. Man.
ley's friendship for Mr.. ReedEis well
known, and perhaps this was what led
to a story printed in morning paper
yesterday that Mr.. Manley during his
recent Western trip had engaged a suite
of rooms in Chicago with the intention
of establishing Reed headquarters and
booming the ex-Speaker for the Presi-
denoy. Mr.. Manley laughed when he was
asked about the story and pulled content
eddy at cigar as he said
"There is goin be contest for a
convention city. Chicago, San Francisco
and Pittsburg are prominently named.
l have engaged a suite of thirty rooms
in each of these cities cOnditionally. That
is | will take the rooms wherever the
convention goes, and they will be utilized
as headquarters for the Maine delegates
and their alternates, which number
about thirty. II I was simply engaging
headquarters to boom Mr.. Reed dom
think that I should need all of thirty
rooms, but could get along with consid-
erably less"
Mr.. Manley adhered to his statement
that he was in favor of San FrancicSo for
the convention city. He said that he
understood that the newspapers of the
East might object owing to lack of wire
facilities, and the question of time, but he
spoke in glowing terms OF the beauty OF
California and the good that would be
done by taking the convention to that
city. He talked during the day with
many of the politicians in the hotel, but
he did not meet ex-President Harrison,
There was story to the effect that Gen.
Harrison had snubbed Mr. Manley in the
corridor of the hotel. The story grew out
of the fact that the ex-President passed
through the corridor of the hotel while
chatting. MI Manley had his back
turned to General Harrison and did not
see him until he had passed on into the
elevator, and it is probable that General
Harrison did not see Mr.. Manley at all or
he would have spoken to him.

NOT CHOLERA GERMS.

4 Hawaiian Reassured as to Some Roots
He Saw In His Poi.
An incident is told by ladies who deal
out rations TO needy natives at the central
depot of the Hawaiian Relief society about
an aged native and his allowance of poi.
s'Poi for six, cried out one of the ladies
as she handed a rusty cid bucket to one Of
the native attendants.
s'Poi for six,'' cried the attendant as he
returned the bucket filled with the sub
stance.
The native received his allowance and
started to walk away when something in
the bucket seemed to have the effect of
hypnotizing him. His eyes started from
their sockets and the cold beads of per-
spiration on his forehead indicated fear of
some kind.
Returning the bucket to the lady at the
window, he pointed to some yellow specks
in the poi, well distributed throughout the
whole mass. '.He kumu kolera kela''
(those are cholera germs), said the native,
who had evidently not been educated in
the science of bacteriology.
The lady tried to explain that the vel
low specks were the roots of the faro
which sometimes get into the poi when
the tubers are too closely scraped. This
was beyond the comprehension of the
man, and the lady was about ready to give
up when a young native stepped forth.
and tapping his fellow countryman on the
shoulder launched forth in the following
scientific explanation:
''All the poi in this place has been cook
ed. II those are germs, they are dead ones.
for the doctors tell us cooking will Kill
germs. Now, then, you will have no
trouble after eating that poi"
"Oh, all right" said the native. and
taking the bucket once more from the
lady he walked away perfectly satisfied

NEAR Bridgeport, Conn.,, a few
days ago, Mrs. Mary Walters while
eating pear swallowed a hornet that
had alighted on the fruit. In going
down her throat the insect stung her
on the tonsIl. Great pain followed,
and the throat was soon so much
swollen that the woman could not
swallow. Later she lost the power
of speech. The swelling was finally
reduced, but all efforts made by Mrs.
Walters to talk have proved futile,
and the doctors fear she will never
be able to use her voice again.
