remained for four years"
"Then you believe in college educa-
ton fer boys?' l asked.
Yes, indeed, nothing BETTER" he an
swered. Every boy ought to have at
least two years in college, even if he
cannot take the four years course"
''And what did you do after leaving
college, Mr.. Depew?"
.'Well, you know l was taking the
law course, and while there l made a
pretty fair reputation as speaker. So
as soon as l was out of college, that
very year, in fact, [ stumped the state
of Vermont for the coming presidential
election. 1t was my first vote, too, and
I worked hard that year"
"And did you have a good time in
school and college?" continued.
Eyes, indeed" was the warm reply.
81 was just as fond of girls and society
then as now-even little more, If pos
sible," and again Ny. Depew laughed
heartily. This was rather startling
statement, and at first was undecided
about how to take it, but the humor

There is tea gown in this outfit
which strikes the keynote of fashion
in that it has tight back and tight
sleeves. The material is soft pink

edged with ivory lace. The under

wilted mousseline de sole. Lace and
mousseline adorn the bodice and flow

New toques have an oriental look,
with their wonderful combinations OF
gay and vivid straws. They are small
but wide, and exist for the sake of car
rying many flowers swathed in chiffon.
New white ties to wear with the
spring coat are two yards long and are
made of sprigged net edged with lace.
The coat itself is saeque-shaped, loose
and straight behind, haif-ftting in
front; it reaches but little way below
the waist.
What is safe in skirts?' asked the
little dressmaker yesterday.
Nothing" she answered; nothing
at ALL" Every skirt is tight about the
hips; below, it may be narrow or wide.
Any variety, though designed only
yesterday, may be bought ready-made.
The moments whim in jewelry is
gun-metal, just as last autumn Klon-

bangles and throat Iatches; it is in

when | had finished that, | read all
there was in the village library. All
my life I have done a great deal OF
general reading, and cannot begin to
tell the benefit that reading has been
to me in every way. All along it has
been of the utmost service to me, espe-
eially at times when l was called upon
to make speech or write an article
without sufficient time in which to get
my material. Whenever that has hap
pened l have had this great storehouse
of knowledge to fall back upon, and It
has never failed me-"
Then you would advise young peo-
pie to do great deal of general read
ing? remarked.
Eyes, indeed; they cannot do too
much of it, was the emphatic reply.

so great" he continued, that when my
uncle was postmaster at Peekslziil, L
used to go into the post office, take the
magazines from their covers, read
them, put them carefully back again.
SO that no one was ever the
wiser" and Mr.. Depew lay back in his
clair and laughed at the Renaissance.

up with all the current literature Of

raise the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon

authority to do so. Commodore Watson
thinks he cannot.
The Colon, 1t appears, was not seriously
damaged by shells. but her valves were
opened. which caused her to sink.
The other two Spanish cruisers sunk in
the battle of Santiago-the Almirante

Hobson says he expects to return 10 New

McKISSON SEES FORAKER.
Here Saturday Over the
Ohio Situation.

In political circles considerable attention
is attracted to some of the peculiar work.
irgs of Ohio politics. There appears to be
a general expectation that Senator Foraker
is going to take an active part In a fight
against the Hanna organization in the
state, and that he and Mayor McKisson of
Cleveland are going to act together to the
end Of destroying Senator Hanna's power
If they can.
It is said that great deal is going on
under the surface. Representatives of
both factions have been In Washington
during the past few days, and r. L. Hol-
land of GAINESVILLE. a member Of the repub-
lican state executive committee, which is
controlled by Mr.. Hanna. is still here on a
political mission.
Mr. Foraker and Mayor McKisson met
here Saturday evening and conferred over
the Ohio situation. Both left for Ohio yes
terday, Mr.. Foraker going to Cincinnati
and Mayor McKisson to Cleveland.
Mckisson is said to be seeking to break
the Hanna power and to secure the nomi-
nation for governor of Ohio next fall.
He has an anti-Hanna local committee in
Cleveland. 1t is intimated that the most
Immediate thing under consideration among
the anti-Hanna forces is a plan to defeat
the ambition of Col. Dick, who is one of
Mr. Hanna's right-hand men and secretary
of the republican national committee, to
succeed the late Representative Northway
in Congress.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION,
Reports That Germany is Backing the
FiIipinOs Against Us.

The officials of the War Department pro-
noUnCed to be without foundation in fact
the alarmist stories coming from alleged
German sources in San Francisco to the
effect that Germany has shown a DISPOSE
ton to arm the Philippine insurgents with
u view to melting them to attack the
American army at Manila. The officials
pronounced to be positively untrue the
statement that our government has re-
ceived such information. or that it was in
fiuenced by such in ordering the dispatch
last week of 300 additional troops in rein
fOrcement of General Otis at Manila.
1t is undoubtedly true that some appre
Eensiol was caused at an early stage of
the war by The attitude of the German ma
val force in Manila harbor. But SO far as
can be gathered, that difficulty has been
Smoothed away. and there has been no re-
currenCe of unpleasant incidents in those
quarters. Information, scarcely official,
yet worthy of credenCe, has reached WASH
ington to indicate that Germany would
much desire coaling station in the Phil
iipines. preferably taking the Island OF
TalaTan for that purpose. But it is not
supposed for instant that Germany
would undertake to assert any claim in
that quarter unless there should be Il clear
exhibition on the part of the two nations
properly interested in the Philippines-the
United Sta -es and Snain-of a disposition
u consent TO a division of the islands. on
this point the American peace commission
ers were fully instructed before they left
Washington for Paris.
AS for the statement that Germany Is
sending 80. 90 rifles to arm the insurgents
ii is said at the War Department that as
such act would constitute casus belli, 1t
is not supposed for a moment that there
is any truth in it
