Senator Allison. Senator Gorman.
Senator Davis.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT ruined his
chances for becoming governor of New
York when in his letter TO the secre-
tary of war he boosted that the
rough riders are as good as any regu-
lars and three times as good as any
state troops. " and that a cavalry di-
vision composed of 1000 regulars and
riders would be worth easily any
10, 900 national guards" There are
20. 900 New York national guardsmen
and volunteers in the field. and as they
can vote. and they, regard Roosevelt ;
inEidious conIEiisoIf as unjust and
an insult. the republican party would
simply invite disaster by making
Roosevelt its Standard bearer.

VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA.
How They Were Woa With a Pocket
Handkerchief Promise.

How They Were Won With Pocket
Handkerchief Promise.
In 1865. when the revolution of ten
years III Cuba began, no volunteers ex-
listed in Havana worthy of being called
such. There was only one old regiment
and when Governor General Lersundi,
then OF the island, tried 70 complete
this regiment he found the task diff
cult of accomplishment ON account of
the prevailing unwillingness TO enlist
But inst at this time, most providential-
" for the relief of the dilemma, some
unknown hand covered the walls Of
Matanzas, near Havana, with huge
posters promising each Spaniard his
passage horne and the privilege of car
rying away with him whatever his
pocket handkerchief could contain IN
the event of his enlistment.
The effect Of this stimulus TO the flag
cling pulse Of the public was electrical,
and the enrolment Of 90. 600 men fol
lowed within As hours. The volunteers
thus came into existence with their
chiefs in the majority. But the ruined
merchants Of the city of Havana soon
found out and objected TO the newly
risen lower. This opposition increased
upon the arrival in Cuba of the new
governor general, Duicc. who came in
1869 as repre- sentative of the revolution
airy government III Spain. He was n
m5n IF good faith, empowered by the
government 10 grant Cuba all the re-
form she coveted and that had lately
been offered. He would undoubtedly
have put term to the revolution, avert
ing al the RUN and devastation which
followed But srch an easy and mag
unanimous course did not suit that class
which faced inevitable financial rnin as
a consequence Of such "a policy.-San
Francisco Chronicle

African Skins.

Between 1850 and 1873 it is certain
that some millions Of blesbok, wilde
beest and springbok must have been de-
stroyed in the Transvaal and Orange
Free State. The slaughter was so prodi-
gious and tine variety of wild animals
SO great in these wild regions of South
Africa that the result made sensible
difference in the leather industry of En-
rope. The markets We're filled with
skins which, when tanned, gave leather
of quality and excellence never known
before, but the origin of which, as the
material was still sold under old names.
purchasers never suspected. Hides of
the zebra and quagga arrived i'll tens of
thousands, and good as horsehide is for
the uppers of first class boots, these
were even better. Smart Englishmen
for years wore boots the 'uppers of
which were made of zebra and quagga
skin or from the hides of Glands, onyx
and gemsbok disguised under the names
of calf" or patent leathers.-London
Spectator.

They Say Is of Local Interest
When an incident like the following
occurs, right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences
go the rounds of the press; are pub
lished as facts; when the intelligent
readers knows they cannot be true,
there is no reason that people become
skePtical. On one subject skepticism
is rapidly disappearing This is due to
the actual personal experience OF our
citizens and their public utterances
regarding them. The doubter must
doubt no more in the face of such ev-
idence as this. The public statement
of reputable citizen living right
here at home, one whom You can see

skeptic TO stand on.

said that he had been at the Office daily
since Mr. Woxen left, as he was anxious
