"PTRPLE AND FINE LINEH.'

Either Senator Plat is laughing in his sleeve
at his Young prot6g6 Licutenant-Goyernor
Woodruff while treating him with the subtlest
Of slv humor or he is sngularly unfortunate
Tor perhaps fortunate, in the figures Of speech
and quotations in which he INDUCES In his ref
erences TO that rising statesman. After the
BROOKLYN primaries the other day he wired the
younc man his CONGRATULATIONS, closing his mes
sage with the quotation Twas famous VIC
tory" As these were the words In which ''Old
Caspar." in Southcys well-known poem, de-
scrlbed a victory Of which he confessed he
never knew what twas all about" or what
they slew each other for" or what good came
of it mt last" those who knew their Sou,hcy
wondered whether the Senator really intended
70 be humorous and sarcastic or had accident
ally stumbled on a quotation which was rccog
nized at once as peculiarly pat and appropriate
Nor is it known precisely how the young hero
Of the famous victory took 1t himself. 1t
may he that he is puzzlng over it yet
Similar ambiguity attaches 10 playful r"-
mark the Senator is reported to have made the
other day concerning the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
He had Just said, in response 10 congratulations
upon the outcome Of the great WO0drulf-WOr'h

responded the Senator in his most patronizng
manner. "he has earned the right 10 wear pur
pie and fine linen the rest of his life An
ether quotation. This time from Scripture
The Senator draws as readily from Scripture rs
from poetry. The first recorded use Of purple
and fine linen" in conjunction as Indicative of
wealth, luxury and superiority OF condition,
may be found In the sixteenth chapter Of Luke's
Gospel and nineteenth verse, which reads:
There was q certain rich man which was
clothed in purple and fine linen. and Jared
sumptuously every day.
In the story as it proceeds there was also q
bcggar who desired TO be fed with the crumbs
which fell from the rich mans table" Had
the Senator desired to pursue the figure he
might have lkened Mr.. Jacob Worldwide was
represented rs desiring a few crumbs In the
way Of places on the ticket, from the table Of
Mr.. Woodruff's conventlon-to the beggar.
Perhaps. though that would have been push

cious on the part Of the Senator, who has the

butter and happy homes" 10 say that the Lieu
tenant c overnor had earned the right to wear
purple and fine linen the fest OF his life, and
Of course 10 fare sumptuously every day.

Woodruff will do well TO search the Scriptures

TO PAY FOR TIE CHART.
Franklin County School District IN
successfully Tries Reputation.

Ottawa, March 20.-Justice Robbins
yesterday gave his decision in the case
of the Franklin Publishing company
vs.. school district No. "a. near Home
wood. against the school district.
A school district which has received.
retained and used for long period of
time, school furniture bought for it by
the members of the school district
board. acting separately, without any
board meeting, must be deemed to have
ratified the purchase and must pay for
the property so obtained for its use"
The case in point is as follows: In
1892 an agent sold a chart to school dis
trict No "a and a school warrant was
drawn and signed by the directors. The
district had not authorized the pur-
chase of the chart, neither was there
any regular meeting of the board. The
chart was received and has been in use
in the district since. The claim be-
came due in September, 1896. and the
school district refused to pay it on the
ground that the purchase was not reg
ular.

TOM JAMES wITHDRAWs.
This Leaves the Citizens Ticket With
out Head.

T. n. James this afternoon declined
to become a candidate for mayor on the
Citizens ticket He gives as his rea-
sons that he does not wish to be mayor
and that there is not time to organize
a campaign.
D. c. Tfllotson says that Mr.. James
was caught in the net thrown out to
catch silver Republicans and that he
voted at the Republican primary In
view of that fact, Mr. TillotSon says
that he could not consistently allow the
use of his name as a candidate for
mayor
Mr. James said this afternoon to a
Journal reporter: 1T is true that 1
or 1 have no inclina ton for that Of
nce and if l were offered the place by
men who could give it to me I do not
know that would accept it. l told the
committee when the matter was first
suggested to me that I did not care to
be a candidate and adhere to that res
OlutiOn- If had been convinced early
in the campaign that it was necessary
to have a candidate in order to preserve
the party intact might have consented
to run
Three candidates who were nominal
ted at the Hamilton hall meeting have
already declined. There is nothing but
a skeleton left of the Citizens ticket -
was authorized to fill the place and will
do so soon- He says the ticket will be
complete in time for the election.
The candidates who have declined up
to date are: T. NJ. James, nominee for
mayor; Ernest Mueller, nominee for city
clerk and c. k Holiday, Jr. nominee
