A party of gentlemen but recently re-
turned from metropolitan city tell q
new story on the leisurely bellboy
They were stopping at a big hotel, and
on the first evening of their visit were
seized with a mighty thirst, but which
they believed plain ice water would as
suage. One of them stepped to the bell
push. 1t was one of those new tangled
things built on the principle of a dollar
typewriter. You turn the hand around
the dial till it points to what you want,
then you press the button, and the bust
ness Office is supposed to do the rest.
The instrument was caused to register
ice water number Of times in the re-
gions below, but there was no response.
The thirst kept on increasing and the
gentlemen got hot in the collar. One Of
them spoke of going down and challeng-
ing the clerk and the bellboys to box
ing match.
mo, don't do that" remarked one
of the gentlemen. Just watch me-
I'll bet I'll get 'em."
He pranoed over to the bell, yanked
the crank around to champagne" and
let it drive. In an incredibly short time
there was a knock at the door, and the
boy stuck his head in.

Little Marble Imnorted Now.

The importation of marble to the
United States has almost ceased. 1t is
only now and then that cargo arrives
at this port, while a few years ago a
feet of sailing vessels brought many
cargoes annually from the famous Car
rara quarries in Italy to Philadelphia.
Marble buildings seem to be becoming
things of the past, and the tombstone
makers find little demand for marble
tombs, slabs or monuments Granite
has taken the place of marble every
where, even in the cemeteries, where
marble shafts and slabs were formerly
the only proper things. Granite, unlike
marble, does not require very frequent
cleaning and looks we'll without being
touched up for years 1t also admits Of
a high polish and does not show the
marks of rust by contact with metal: as
marble does. philadelphia Record.

THE CROWD WENT WILD
A Patriotic Outburst at Mar
ShalI'S Band Concert.

John Marshall and his famous band
awakened the patriotism in the hearts
of hundreds of people that crowded the
three floors of the Grand Opera House
last night to hear the 18th annual con-
cert of that organization. The awaken
ing resulted in one of the most patriot
ic Outbursts that has ever occurred in
Topeka.
When after the second concert seIec-
ton, in response to continued applause,
the band leader waved his baton, and
the band struck up John Philip Sousa's
great march, THE Stars and Stripes
Forever" a big American flag was
slowly raised at the rear of the stage.
The moment the stars and stripes came
into view, with the music of the march
swelling out and filling the entire build
ing with the patriotic air. tremendous
cheer went up from the three floors of
the building, but minute later, when
the Star SpangIed Banner rose in full
view and suspended from the bottom
was seen a small Cuban flag the audi
ence went wild. Men shouted and
stamped on the floor, women clapped
and fluttered their handkerchiefs and
here and there an enthusiast stood up
and waved his hat.
The demonstration lasted for several
minutes. The two flags were left sus-
pended in full view during the remain
der of the concert.
MarshaIPs band was at it's best last
night, and the magnificent patronage
given the concert was a fitting token Of
the regard in which the band is held in
this city. MarshalPS band is always at
its best, and Topeka may justly feel
proud of the splendid organization,
which is admitted by the greatest band
leaders to be the finest amateur band in
the United States.
The band was generous with encores
and responded after four of the six Sc
lections on the programme. Three of
the encOres were Sousa's marches, 1.-The
Stars and Stripes Forever" THE Di-
rectOrate," and his latest composition,
1.-The Bride Elect" This was the first
time the latter march was rendered by
a band in this city. The other encore
was a darby selection, Camp Meeting
COOnS."
The band was assisted in the concert
by Miss Mabel Huey, soprano; Mr..
Henry Beerman, violin, and Mr.. Alfred
Buch of Kansas City. cello, who added
materially to the enjoyment of the ev-
ening Mr.. Beerman's selections, Bal
Iade ct PoIonaise," and Schubert's
"Serenade,' as an encore, were partic-
ularly enjoyable.
AS an encore to her first selection,
40 Hall of Song" Miss Huey sang
''The Star Spangled Banner
The ninth number on the programme,
Gems Reset was the composition of
Director Marshall.
The band realized a handsome sum
from the concert, and the money will be
used in improving Garfield park for the
summer concerts.

war has reached the administration.
Important banking interests in New
York, Chicago, Boston and elsewhere
have called attention to the danger. 1t
was urged from many sources that Spe-
Gle would not bear the drain of war.
The movement is apparently organ
lied. The pressure will be more &C

Senator Hanna, says:
First of all, I want to say that am
not a speculator. 1 never bought or
sold a share of stock in Wall street.
DO not today own single share of
stock in any railroad or commercial
enterprise except those with which my
name has been publicly Identified and
in which I have made investments.
Il have never urged the president or
the United States to settle the Cuban
question on any financial basis whatso-
ever, nor have Endorsed any such
proposition to him or to any one else.
I have been in favor of an exceed
ingly conservative course in regard to
Cuba, somewhat on the principle that
charity begins at home, but can say
positively that I have never been infiu-
enced by any financial consideration,
either personally or for my friends or
political associates.
I do not believe in buying Cuba, and
I am not and never have been interest
I have frequently urged the preSi-
dent to be cautious in his movements
and not to interfere with the affairs Of
a foreign nation until he had demon
strated the necessity of such action.
I can deny in the most sweeping
manner the stories which originated in
rabid Democratic papers that was US
ing nv influence to delaV action in re-
gard to Cuba in the interest of an al
legged financial organization. I am
sorry that these stories have been ia
ken up by the Republican press, and
hope they will accept my denial in the
spirit in which it is offered.
4 have differed with many as to the
necessity for immediate action in the
farrA h
only, and I feel that my motives are
beyond suspicion.
I do not care for the views of my pO-
litical enemies, but I am regardful of
the opinions of my friends
