John K Gowdy, chairman of the Re-
publican State central committee.
called on General Harrison last even
ing by invitation, and the ex- President
handed hira the appended self-explan--
tory letter:
Hon. John X. Gowdy, Indianapolis,
Ind
Sir: In view of the resolutions passed
by the State central committee at its
recent meeting, and of the fact that
the delegates to the national Repub-
lican convention are soon to be chosen
in this State, | have concluded that
some statement from me as to my
wishes and purposes should be made
to my Indiana friends. Hitherto I
have declined to speak to the public
upon this matter, but scores Of friends
to whom have talked and many
scores more to whom [ have written
will recognize in this expression the
substance of what have said to them.
To everyone who has proposed, to pro-
mote my nomination, Is4have said
"No. There never has been an hour
since | left the White house that i
have felt wish to return to it.
My Indiana friends have been most
devoted and faithful, and I am their
greatful debtor. The Republican
party has twice in national conven-
tions given me its. Endorsement, and
that is enough / think the voters of
our party are now entitled to have a,
new name. For the sentiment, great
or small, that has been manifested for
my nomination am grateful; and Of
that wider respect and kindness
breaking party lines-which have been
shown in so many ways. ] am pro-
foundly appreciatiye.
= can not consent that nay name be
presented or used in the st. Louis con-
yention, and must kindly ask my
friends to accept this as a sincere and
final expression upon the subject.

Of ex-President Harrison, stating that,
he will not be a candidate for re-nom.
lnation is pleasant reading for Mr.

large part of Mr.. Harrison's following
will ultimately come to the Iowa man.
They claim it was the vote Of Iowa
which turned the tide in the direction
of Mr.. Harrison in 1898. A number

Editor Godkin on Boys.

Editor E. L. Godkin of the New York

against "boys" that betrays very un.

ertion except for the purpose of crafty.
ing his inordinate appetite or his taste
for wanton cruelty, his own desire in
life is to avoid doing what he is told to
do, his greatest pleasure is fighting an6
mischief. His apparent thoughtfulnes'
and gentleness when women are present
are sometimes shyness arising from the
fact that he never quite knows what {
woman will do if made the victim OF
some peculiarly dastardly trick such a,
he is always meditating. Her tendency
to scream and thus bring down on him
punishment acts as deterrent. Clean
illness he detests for two reasons-first,
that washing involves trouble, and, sec
ond, that he much prefers to be dirty.
The bath, which to the adult is a luxury
is to the boy something to be evaded al
all hazards -

Transferring Newspaper Pictures.

Many boys and girls will be interest
ed in method of transferring newspa
per pictures to the fiyleaf of book OF
any other paper without the necessity
of cutting the newspaper. The Chicago
Record says any boy or girl can make
the recipe, which is as follows: First
dissolve small piece of ordinary vel
low soap in pint of hot water, and
add. when nearly cold, 3A fluid ounces
(you can measure with an ounce bottle
to be obtained at any drug store) of tur
pentine. Shake the whole thoroughly
This fluid is applied literally to the
surface of the printed matter with 8
soft brush or sponge (being careful moi
to smear the ink, which soon become.
softened) and allowed to soak for few
minutes Then dampen the plain paper
on which the transfer is to be made
place it upon the picture and subject the
whole to moderate pressure for about
one minute. On separating them 9
transfer will be found on the paper.

Anarchy Reigns at Canea, Where Turkish
Soldiers Massacre Christians.
ATHENS. May 26.--The long expected
disaster in the island of Crete seems sud
denly to have been precipitated, and since
Sunday anarchy has reigned at Canea.
The Turkish soldiery, breaking all re-
straints, poured through the streets, shoot
ing, massacring and pillaging Christians.
The consuls have all telegraphed for war
ships
The British fleet at Malta has sailed for
Crete. Her Majesty's ship Hood, anchored
at Phalerum, starts thither tonight The
Greek ironclads will probably follow to-
morrow.
The cavasses of the Greek and Russian
oonsulates at Canea have been killed.
Turkhan Pasha Is utterly powerless to re-
strain the soldiery, as he is on bad terms
with the military governor, In. who
islsuspected of being at the bottom of the
whole trouble. The immediate cause of
tie outbreak. however, Is inexplicable, as
the Christians there have never given
provocation.
The situation at Rotimo Is equally seri-
Gus. Heraklion is quiet but sharp fight
ing Is reported between the Turks and the
Cretans in the vicinity of Vamos.

Sons and Descendants of President John
Quincy ADMINISTRATION Godkin's
Tirade Against Boys.

George Washington, the eldest son OF
President John. Quincy Adams, was born
ia Berlin. John and Charles Francis
were the two other sons, and all three
of the boys were at one time together in
school in London. On his final return tc
America Mr.. Adams took up his resi-.
dence in Washington as President Mon.
roe's secretary of state and became CHIEF
magistrate at the close of the second
Monroe administration. President Ad.
ans was an early riser, and on summer
mornings he usually repaired to the Po-
tomac for q swim, his son John fre.
ouently going with him. The president
was a strong swimmer John could out.
run him, but he could outsYim John.
George entered Harvard college and
afterward studied law in Boston with
Daniel Webster. He made his mark in
college, was a fine conversationalist and
without doubt exceptionally gifted. Like
his father, he was student of Shake.
speare, and he wrote many poems.
George represented Boston in the state
legislature, but gradually became more
or less a prey to incorporate habits, and
journeying to Washington in 1929 he
was lost overheard from the steamer he
tween Boston and New York, ending
his life at the age of 28.
John was Boston boy, born on the
4th of July, 1903. Like George, John
was graduated from Harvard and also
studied law. He married his beautiful
cousin, Abigail Adams, and the wed.
ding took place in the blue room of the
White House in February, 1928.
Charles Francis, the youngest son OF
the family, was another Boston boy,
born in 1907 He went to Russia at the
age Of 2, when his father was appointed
minister to that country, and remained
there nearly six years, during which
time it is stated that he learned to speak
French, German and Russian with flu
ency. He was favorite at the imperial
palace, where he was made much Of by
the empress, grand duchesses and other
royalties. He was graduated from Har
ward the year his father was made pres
ident His most valuable service to his
country is considered to hs his course in
England as American minister during
the civil war here He was the Adams
of the third generation to be minister tc
Great Britain. Four sons were born tc
him-John Quincy, Charles Francis,
Jr., Henry and Brooks. The two former
served in the late war, and Charles
Francis received the brevet of brigadiei
general. He attained greatest promi-
nence, however, as president of the Un.
ion Pacific railroad Henry Adams is
the well known historian and resides in
Washington, and Brooks, who also de.
votes himself to literature, lives in Bos
ton. John Quincy Adams, second, the son
of Charles Francis, was twice nominated
for governor of Massachusetts, and his
two sons. George and Charles Francis,
says the Boston Herald, distinguished
themselves in recent years at Harvard
in the football field and in aquatics.
