HAVE YOU A CHANCE?
LICK IN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS OF
THE UNITED STATES.

Washington Had the Longest Name of
An-Eight Letter Presidents In Hard
Luok-OnIy One, General Polk, Had
Four Letter Name.
Every native born citizen of the
United States 80 years Of age, of sound
mind and not disqualified by crime, is
eligible to the presidency, provided he
has been ID years resident within the
country"
The millions of Americans possessing
these requisite attributes and qualifca-
lions will be interested in the following
curious facts regarding the presidential
office:
To begin at the beginning-that is,
with Washington-the Father of His
Country had ten letters in his surname,
and no one of his successors has used up
so much of the alphabet as he did in
spelling it. His name was what may be
called "ton strike, " and he stands not
only first in war; first in peace and first
in the hearts of his countrymen, but
first also in alphabetical distinction.
Next to Washington in this respect
stand Jefferson and Cleveland, names
Of nine letters each, and by singular
coincidence each had two terms. An
other point of similarity, both caused
talk of third term.
There have been six presidents each
with eight letters in his name. Here
they are: Van Buren,, Harrison, Fill
more, Buchanan, Garfield AID then
again Harrison. The presidents with
seven letters to their credit were Madi-
son, Jackson, Lincoln and Johnson.
The five letter executives were the elder
and younger Adams, Tyler, Grant and
Hayes
There has been only one president
with four letters-Polk.
An analysis of the preceding list dis
closes the fact that the eight letter men
were victims of misfortune in one way
or another. Van Buren,, for instance,
failed of reelection. The first Harri-
son, who defeated him, died in Office
few weeks after his Inauguration. Fill
more, when he ran for the presidency IN
1856 on the Know Nothing ticket, car
rled only one state. Buchanan has been
blamed, whether justly or not, for hay
ing brought on the civil war. Poor Gar
held was assassinated, and Harrison
was beaten by Cleveland four years ago.
James Monroe, one of the four six
letter presidents, was lucky while in
office, but the closing years of his life
were clouded by misfortune. When he
dled' in New York, he was practically
dependent for his support on his son-in-
law Taylor, the second of the six letter
presidents, died in Office. Pierce may
De set down as failure, and Arthur
TAILED to get the nomination he coveted.
The presidents that had five letters in
Their names were the two Adamses, both
OF whom failed of reelection; Tyler,

ItalY,a Bloody Reoora.

Italy probably holds the record in the
number of murders committed. Recently
ID murders were committed inside of IS
hours during the night from June to
noon of June 10. At Bramadano a man
was killed by his wife with Ratchet, the
reason being jealousy. Near Treviso a
merchant stabbed his wife and five other
people in fit of insanity. At TRAM a
priest was shot by his uncle in a parish
church because he would not lend any
more money to his relative and was adj
dicted to drink. Near Caserta a peasant
woman killed soldier who had insulted
her. In Raguso, Sicily, three persons
were killed in q fight between peasants
and attendants of a cemetery; near by, at
Granmichel. a peasant killed his brother
in-law on account of trifiing differences,
and at Monterosso another peasant woman
killed boy with large stone because he
had stolen two oranges

Touching upon the work of the Commits
sion. Mr.. White said that they had their
evidence over the boundary dispute in
shape and. while no opinion had been cx-
pressed by the Commissioners or actual
decision as TO the merits OF the case
reached, still things were i'm such shape
that the Commission could now report
on the whole matter at any time the Pres

tinuing. he said:
The Commission has brought together
a large mass of important material. sifted
