HANNA, NATIONS GUEST.
He is Assigned the "Prince of Wales"
Room at the White House.

Washington, July Ex-senator Mark
Hanna has become an inmate OF tne
White House, room having been htted
up for him in the southwest portlon OF
the executive mansion. This apartment
was formerly occupied by the Prince or
Wales when he was guest OF Pres1-
dent Buchanan, in 1860 and later 1t
was used as a bed room by the different
presidents until Garfie1d's time. During
the illness of President Garfield he oc-
cupied this room until he was removed
to Elberon, N. J., where he died. Since
that time this apartment, which IS
known to all the attaches of the White
House as the Prince of Wales bed
room," has not been used for sleeping
purposes, the families of the different
presidents since 1881 preferring the
rooms on the north side of the house
There is a high old-fashioned four
posted bedstead in the bed room which
will be occupied by Senator Hanna, and
it is such a height from the floor to the
bed that steps are necessary to enable
the occupant of the room to get into
his bed. Over the bed there is a can
opy of drawn red silk, which was made
to order when the Prince of Wales was
a guest at the White House.
There have been so many demands
| upon Senator Hanna since he came to
Washington that his life was made a
| burden at the Arlington. where he
sought to escape the horde of office
seekers and claimants for attention In
fact, he has been almost in demand as
| much as the president for all sorts of
positions at home and abroad, for 1t
| was believed if his name could only be
| obtained to an application an appoint
nent would be apt to follow. This per-
Secution finally became such nuisance
| that Senator Hanna referred to it in a
| good -humored manner one day while
taking to the president. The upshot of
the conversation was that the president
invited the Ohio senator to make his
home at the White House as soon as
Senator Hanna's family left Washing
ton for the heated term. This invita-
ton was accepted in the same spirit in
which it was offered, and the president
and his guest will not be subjected to
the prying of inquisitiVe persons here
after when they want to discuss some
matter of national policy or the ap-
pointment of some good Republican
worker to a lucrative position.
During the remainder of July, when
the president will be kept here, he will
always be sure of a companion for his
pOst-prandia1 cigar on the White House
balcony which opens out from the blue
parlor, which has been made comforta-
BILE and inviting looking with blue and
white striped awnings.

A HUMANE ENGINEER.
Stops Train for IS Minutes to Al
low a Funeral Procession
Right of Wav.

The Council Grove Guard says: There
is an engineer on the Missouri Pacific
that deserves a gold medal for an act
OF humanity, judgment and good sense
that was probably the means of saving
life and certainly prevented many from
being terribly injured by runaway
hOEseS- The wagon road leading to De
IaVan from the east runs close to the
railroad for some distance and crosses
over to the south side of the track,
where it follows the high embankment
with wire fence close to the highway
on the other side.
Last Thursday as the funeral process
sion, nearly mile long, was following
the remains of S. Mccullough to the
cemetery and had partly crossed the
track and were hemmed in between the
track and the wire fence, when all were
Mortified to behold a locomotive ap-
preaching down grade from the west
There was no visible hope for escape
from tragedy in the Sape of a whole
sale runaway, by the scores of spirited
horses that lined the road with their
human freight at their mercy But
soon every heart was made glad on no.
tictng the engine shut off steam and
come to a stand-still, when the head of
the procession was reached, where it re
nlalned a quarter of an hour till all the
carriages had passed by, and thus was
an accident averted and all taught an
object lesson in the brotherhood of
man."

BROWN sYsTEM's WEAKNESS.
Works Hardship on Extra Engine
and Train Employees.

There is one class of railroad employees
on whom the Brown system of discipline
which is to be inaugura ted on the Santa
Re on August 1, will work a hardship
This is the class of engine and train
employees known as extra men"
They are the men who have no regu-
lar runs, and who only secure work in
the event that the regular men give up
their engines and trains for one rea-
son or another. In the past suspensions
of regular men for viola ton of rules or
neglect of duty have formed the chief
source of employment to the extra men
as it is but rarely that engine or train
men are injured or voIunta rily take a
lay off for any length of time. After
pensions will be unheard of, and as a
result there will be practically no work
for the extra men.
That is one great fault I find with
the Brown system" said prominent
Santa F'e official in speaking of the mat
ter. ''At every division point there
must be extra men in both engine and
train service, for there is always a pos
sibility of needing them at any min
lar men have afforded the extra men
the greatest employment, in fact have
enabled them to earn a salary sufficient
to live upon, and now when suspensions
are cut out altogether there is but little
prospect of extra men earning enough
to provide the necessities of life
1.-The result will be that the extra
materially decreased. If the men are
unable to earn sufficient to live upon
in the extra service they will have to
turn to some other kind of employment
And yet, extra men in some number will
have to be retained at every division

ALL WANT WAR SHIPS.
Foreign Consuls at Tien Tsin With
One Voice Cry for Protection.

San Francisco, July 12.-The Occi-
dental and Oriental steamer Doric has
arrived from China and Japan two days
ahead of schedule time. She brought
Yokohama advices to June 20. The
Japanese mail gives a summary of cor
respondence from Tien Tsin which
shows that the state of the foreign COL
ony in that city is alarming. Three
Chinese were killed in the last days of
May on charges that they had stolen
native children in order that they might
serve as offerings to ensure the safety
of the foundations of the new French
Catholic cathedral to be dedicated June
Il.
A Tien Tsin correspondent says: cit
is reported that a conspiracy has been
formed to attack the foreign settle
ment on June 81 and to burn the RO-
man Catholic cathedral. The consuls of
the various nationalities have deemed
it prudent to telegraph the fact to their
governments and to ask for the protec-
ton of men of war. The gate leading
from the foreign settlement to the Chi
nese quarter is closed every night at IL
o'clock. The Japanese gunboat Akagi
is now at Taku in response to appeals
from the Japanese consul Chinese
soldiers are quartered in various parts
of the city for the express purpose of
checking rioterS.'

AN INTERESTING GAME
Topeka Won Saturday But Abilene
Play d Well

Topeka Z, Abilene 4. That was how
the official score stood when the third
out was called by Umpire Sherman in
the ninth inning The game was snap
py and interesting. It is doubtful if a
closer game has ever been played on the
Topeka grounds. There were a few err
rors to be sure but errors do ~~ al
ways disgust the fans. Nearly all the
misplays were eXcusa bic.
The positions Ct h. Topeka team were
changed. Brockaway was moved from
self with glory. Brockaway never goes
to sleep. He is full of ginger and he
never refuses chance. He ought to
make an excellent ball player and his
position is in the field.
Underwood was at short. Jimmy did
not have a great many opportunities to
distinguish himself but he can play the
position as well or better than Brock
HOss" COnlin can play anywhere and
on second he put up beautiful game.
He is the general utility man on the
Topeka team.
Bouldin who is built on the sky scrap D.
er plan, pitched for Abilene and he did
fairly good work but Topeka is doing
some batting now and he was replaced
in the eighth by Reust, the young Ger
man, who proved such a puZzler the
day before, but he had given away all
his puzzles and was hit freely.
Colburn, the Topeka pitcher, was in
his old time form and pitched a good
game.
Sherman is a good umpire, but he
makes b1unders. Any umpire will and
no one harbors any i'll will toward
Sherman because he gave Topeka the
worst of several decisions. At last To-
peka has a ball team and the people
should give it the support it deserves.
We should not expect good ball games
unless the management is at least pay
ing expenses. That has not been done
this season. The score:

NOT ENOUGH CARS.
insufficient Transportation Facilities
for Oklahoma's Great Wheat Crop.

Perry, Ok, July 12-For more than a
month farmers of Oklahoma have been
harvesting nearly day and night, sun
day included. Wheat is about all in
stack and hundreds of threshers are
running. The wheat yield for the ter
ritory will be far greater than first ex-
pected by the most enthusiastic.
There is a dearth of cars to haul the
wheat. The Santa F>e railroad has put
in Loco new cars to help take care of
the wheat, and many towns can hardly
get enough cars to remove the crop.
The corn yield will not fall below 30,
100000 bushels. In many places farm
erS report so bushels per acre. The price
paid by local buyers is 55 cents a BUSH
ell To remove the Oklahoma crop will
take $4,000 cars of 10000 pounds capac-
ity. At so cents a bushel it will give
ritory $50. All crops are very pronliS-
ing.

NOTICEABLE.

The saying ia old. but nevertheless
true that while politeness costs moth,
ing, it goes a great way IN all matters
OF business and social life. We do
not know whether the habit prevails
IN other country towns, but it is a
fact hat young men here have a habit
OF addressing Young ladies without
the prefix of Miss to their names
They may not so intend it, but the
neglect or failure to use it, is an un-
mlstakable evidence Of a lack of pol
lteness and good breeding. No gen
fleman, not related to IL lady. by
blood ties, should ever fail to address
one without prefxing Miss to her
name. Young men in Opelousas have
fallen into the habit of calling them.
Helen, Sallie, Ida. Martha-without
having the rolitness to say Miss
Helen, ect. They generally give as
an excuse that they have been to
school with them. or been raised with
them. This is no excuse, and the
young ladies should not submit to it.
1t shows a lack of respect If our
Young gents who have this habit,
were to take such liberties with other
Young ladies of other towns or cities,
members of respected families, they
would soon be Taught that their at
tentions could be dispensed with.
The young ladies who submit to
snch familiarity, are to blame for it.
They have it entirely in their power
to correct it. Let them but say to
these impolite young Othellos. You
must understand when YOU address
me, that | am Miss Mollie aud
if you cannot afford to be polite
enough to SO address me, l notify you
that | will leave the parlor."
Young ladies should never allow
young gentlemen to neglect this uni
versal mark of p%oliteness and good
breeding. The habit is certainly not
pleasing to mothers and fathers
