racks.

WASHINGTON. Aug. lit has been decided
to test the merits in the Marine Corps OF the
post canteen system now in vogue in the army.
and Acting Secretary Roosevelt to-day issued
orders establishing an experimental post ex-
change at the Marine Barracks connected with
the Naval Training Station at Newport. r.. I. 1t

is to be made to the Secretary Of the Navy upon
its advantages and disadvantages and the prac-
ticability of tho continuance and extension Of
the system.
MIR. Roosevelt thinks that IL the profits from
the sales at the post traders store AT the Marine
Barracks. which now go to outside persons.

the army. many additions could DO made TO the
comforts and amusements of the enlisted men.
Reading. card and billiard rooms could be fitted
up and gymnastic apparatus could be bought
Tor their use. In other words. the canteen would
be the enlisted mans club room.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia. Aug. l7.-Leslie NJ. Shaw,

never ran for Office before. is most likely to cap.
ture the Republican nomination for GovernG-

ping away under pressure. and 1t looks as II his
strength would not grow very much. Speaker
Byers withdrew tonight on account of the 70.
fusal OF one county in his district to withdraw
its candidate, Flickinger. His strength in the
district goes largely to Blickinger, but the effect
OF his withdrawal is TO strengthen Tho field
against Parrot. The latter still says he has
second choice votes enough TO nominate him,
but some of his most influential supporters are
weakening.
The platform will be free from local issues
and tho campaign will be directed along the
lines of national affairs; The attempt to inject
the Temple anti.railroad plank and other such
issues has not met with favor.

ton Of labor union rules at the new cathedral
Of 81. John the Divine. 10th street and River
side Drive. William J. O'Brien. President of

less than the union rate of wages had been paid
to stone cutters at the cathedral and at the
quarrics at Pcckskill where the stone comes
from. and he asked the Bishop TO use his infu-
cnce to have this stopped. Bishop Potter's re-
ply was as follows:

Mrs. Burnett and Her Plays.

From the New York Sun.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, who is
not well known to New Workers. by sight
was frequently seen on the streets last
week, when she was here in connection with
the preparations for the production of one
of her plays. Mrs. Burnett is striking
looking woman with blond hair, which for
several years she wore rather short She
has grown stouter during recent years, and
her appearance IN the style of dress she
adopts would lead one to believe that she
was English rather than American. al
though most of her life has been spent in
this country. Although Mrs. Burnett makes
large income from her writings, she is
anxious for the greater emoluments of the
dramatist and she sticks assiduously to
play writing, although it is doubtful If any
OF her plays except Little Lord Fauntle-
roy has ever proved very profitable to her.
Sne IS a woman of very pronounced opin-
ions as to the Interpretation that her PLAYS
should receive, and 1t was a disagreement
ABOUT q matter Of this kind with her man
ayers that postponed the production of her
latest drama for a whole year. Then Mrs
Burnett was convinced that so long as
pays were written to make money. thew
could accomplish that end more readily

were adapted to them. But she only half
