SENSIBLE IF True.

There has been a great deal Of loose
talk about the disposition Of the presi-
dent to Interfere in the remarkable and
exciting contest now going on In New
York city, and some who have noticed
the talk have wondered whether the
president would feel that he ought to
be a Tracy man. According to informa-
ton from IAN absolutely reliable off,
cial source the president has no notion
Of taking part in the New York cam
paign. The following statement of his
position is made: The only wish Mr..
Mckinley expresses in connection with
the contest in New York is that Re-
publican success may be pronounced
and followed by party harmony. He
Is personally acquainted with Seth Low
and General Tracy and fully appreci-
ates the character, integrity and abili-
ties of each. His feelings for both
candidates are those of friendship and
kindness. In view Of these sentiments
he is absolutely impartial. 1t can even
be said he regards both as Republicans.
He will do or say nothing having a ten
dency to give one an advantage over
the other. His policy is to hope for and
desire Republican victory and leave its
achievement entirely to the party in
New York. The president has author
lied no one to voice his feelings, and
his own utterances have been confined
to the most impartial and non-commit-
tai statements.
This is sensible enough to be true.
And If it isn't true it ought to be.

LUETG ER1'.

The jury in the Luetgert case went
out Monday afternoon, and unless they
came in since this was written they are
still out. The latest is that nine jurors
have laughed at something or other
and so the jury is supposed to stand
nine for conviction to three for &C.
quittal. Luetgert at last accounts was
walking with a springy STEP" and
otherwise acting as if he didn't expect
to suffer from the spring of the gallows
trap. The general opinion of the big
jury seems to be that there will at
least be disagreement, and that Luet-
gert will not have to lose his life as
well as his fortune. And as he seems
to want to live the saving will be i'm
portant to him.

years old, when he embarked in the
business of selling illustrated papers
and periodicals. Walter recently sent
to rubber goods house for samples
and started out on the road His sue
cess did not meet his expectations and
he sent to Chicago for samples Of soaps
and tlavoring extracts. With these he
made a success from the start. The
merchants of his own town, struck by
his enterprise, patronized him, and
thus encoura ged, he extended his field,
visiting other towns in the vicinity.
His sales increased, and he further en-
larged his territory. He got neat
sample case, bought a one-thousand-
mile ticket, and began making regular
trips of weeks length, taking in the
towns on the Memphis and Little Rock
railroad lines, and also making the
towns and villages off the railroad,
reaching them by stage or hired con-
veyances, and in every respect is full
fledged drummer. The boy carries a
dozen different kinds of soap and fla
voring extracts in variety, and he rat
ties off their merits and prices like any
veteran of the road. His contact with
the world has not spoiled him. He does
not smoke cigarettes, his manner is
quiet and gentlemanly and he is not
given to profanity. He Is strictly bus
mess and is a great favorite wherever
he goes.-Louisville Dispatch.

1t is sign post of vulgarity to wear

MORE "mUN1o1PAE CONTROL,

MORE "MUNICIPAL CONTROL"
Not a little evidence is coming out
nowadays against the alleged beauties
and benefits of municipal control of
gas works, water works, street rail-
roads, etc. 1t Is often said by advo-
Gates Of such control that although it
may fail in large cities, where civic in
difference permits management by a
political boss for personal benefit, yet it
has proven it's superiority in small COM
munities where public interest has a
narrower range. Alexandria, Virginia,
is certainly small enough community
to test this theory. 1t has a municipal
gas plant, whose total receipt in the
past three years has been $5,555.57. The
point of the illustration is that the ex-
penditures in three years have been
greatly in excess of the amount stated,
and that the consumption Of coal has
increased to considerable extent dur
ing the same period. The explanation
for this is furnished in the report Of a
gas expert that the employees were very
wasteful. That Is the usual result Of
municipal control. Those of the Alex
andria council, a newspaper report says,
We're surprised at the revelation" We
don't see why they should have been.
1t would have been surprising If the ex-
pert had found a better state of things.

PRETTY LUSTY INFANTS.

Britannia may rule the wave, but she
doesn't rule the iron and steel trade as
much as she did. A director Of a for
eign railroad recently wrote to the
London Times stating that it has been
his duty to open bids received by his
company for the supply Of steel girders
for bridge work, and much to his sur
prise, and, as he intimates, chagrin, he
discovered that an American bid for
material Of this character was about
fifteen per cent. under the lowest Eng
fish tender. He further asserts that he
is aware Of similar position of affairs
with reference to other classes of rail-
road supplies; that is, that American
manufacturers have shown themselves
more than equal to the work of meet
ing the competition of the English in
some of those classes of production in
which, in the past, English supremacy
was supposed to be incontestible.
Two other incidents are also encour-
aging. One is the purchase in this
country by the New. South Wales gov
eminent of a quantity of rails for the
Sydney overhead trolley road which is
about to be constructed. An official Of
the Australian colony came to this
country to investigate the quality OF
American steel after looking over the
best products in the English market
His conclusions may be inferred from
the action of his government. The
other event was the grant by the Car.
negie people of an exclusive agency fol
their products to a Dutch firm. The
Carnegie iron and steel business will
thus be represented by a branch il
Holland which will wage war with the
native Dutch iron=mongers and Will

RED CROSS SOCIETY.
Meeting in Its Interest Held In
Sayles Memorial Hall.
Addresses by Countess Di Brazza, Profes-
sors Poland, Manatt and Olhers.

A meeting called in the interests Of the
Red Cross Society with special reference
TO the splendid service it is now rendering
in Greece, was held at Sayles Memoriai
hall last night
Mr. William B. Weeden presided and
the principal speaker was Countess di
Brazza of Rome whose American trip at
the present time is Tor the benefit of the
society. She said that the Red Cross is
the cross of self-controi. Its followers will
give aid equally TO either side, either 10
the bloody Turk or the civilized Greek
fighting for freedom. 1t is essentially
the cross of self-abnegation. The true
member of the Red Cross would render
aid to the blood thirsty Turk VINO would
carve her sucking baDe. 1t Is the abso-
lutte absorption of the divine spirit, the
living out Of the spirit of Christ.
The countess then dwelt eloquently
upon the appeal that came from the Red
Cross Society in Greece l3 days ago. Then
she briefly outlined the method of work
which the society intends for this coun-
try

ANNA O'DELIA.
NOtOriOuSDiSS dc BarTurnS
Up AT milwaukee,.
TheOSOphiSts Did Not RecOg-
niZe Her at First.
When They Did They Proceeded to
Send Her Away Forthwith.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 6.-The theosop-
lists in Milwaukee are greatly stirred up
over the discovery that they had been en-
tertaining the noted Anna O'Delia Diss
de Bar, alias Vera Ava, unawares. The
woman came to the city and began to
ingratiate herself with the theosophists.
After she had been here for two weeks
suspicion was aroused by something which
she dropped that she was woman with a
career. Headquarters In New York were
communicated with and from the answer
returned there was no doubt in the minds
of the Milwaukee memb bers that this was
Diss dc Bar. When confronted with the
facts the woman became indignant and
insisted that she was not Diss dc Bar, but
Iva Vidya. This was the exact name
given by the New York headquarters as
the name under which she had joined the
society That ended any further resist
ance and as the woman said she mad no
money to leave town, the Milwaukee
theosophists purchased a ticket for an
eastern point and in order to See that she
left the city accompanied her TO the rail
way station, but have not yet recovered
from the. sensation of the discovery.
