PERSONAL.

According to a New York correspond
ent, Admiral Dewey owes to Theodore
Roosevelt his assignment to the Eastern
squadron. The admiral himself is quoted
as authority for this statement.
Nine. Albani, who has been making
tour through South Africa, is delighted
with that country. When she visited the
De Beers compound at Kimberly recently
1900 zulus danced and sang for her.
The late Admiral Kirkland's opinion of
newspaper men was summed up while he
was in San Francisco in this way: IF you
are caught taking pictures anywhere in
the navy yard you'll be arrested, but 1
suppose you'n take them anyhow"
Col. Du Patty De Clans rise in the no
bility as traced by the Paris Steele. His
great-grandfather was judge in Bor-
deaux, named MERCER Dupaty; his grand
father bought Clam a little vineyard, and
called himself Dupaty De Clam. His
father was a general and turned his name
into Count Du Patty DE Clam. The colonel
himself uses the tide Of Marquis.
REV. George r. Vandewater chaplain
of what is left of the seventy-frst New
York Regiment, says that while in Cuba
before Santiago the men were so hungry
al times that they caught land crabs and
made sandwiches by putting them between
Two pieces of bareback. Any one who
cares to get a fair estimate of this de
gree of hunger can do so by looking up
the land crab in books on the subject and
learning its habits and methods of SUBJ
sistence.

,The Conductor.s Mistake.

The street car conductor was not in good
humor, says the Detroit Free Press. Some
one had passed a bad quarter upon him,
and that accounted for his starting the
car before the three women and a child
were fairly aboard.
One of the women was mad at being
dumped without warning into a seat; the
conductor saw that as he started to col
lect their fare. but he was mad, too.
Madame" he said, as she rendered her
fare this child that is with you will have
to be paid for as well.'
II haven't the slightest idea of paying
its fare" snapped the woman.
Then 1 shah put it off," answered the
conductor, reaching for the bell rope.
you don't dare" flashed the woman.
Ting! The conductor brought the car to
a stop picked up the child, and deposited
it upon the street, and rang to go ahead.
Madame" he said grimly, you will find
your child back there on the corner"
My child?" snapped the woman. at
isn't mine"
Whose is it, then?" gasped the conduc-
tor
II haven't the slightest idea," she an
swered coolly.
Then the child's mother, who had been
engaged in an exciting discussion with her
friend over the merits of a new gown,
awoke to the fact that her child was miss
ing. and then the fireworks that played
around the unfortunate conductors head
reminded him of a Fourth of July display.

Roosevelt a strong Candidate.

The indications are that Col. Roosevelt
will be the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of New York When his name was
first suggested for the position it was
thought by both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis that he would make an exceptionally
strong candidate. Many of the Demo
cratic leaders have changed their opinions,
and now think it will not be a difficult
matter for the Democrats to beat him
if they nominate candidate who has
the confidence of the people.
1t is admitted, of course, that Roosevelrs
war record will assist him greatly. Be
sides it is known that he is thoroughly
honest man. 1t is claimed, however that
he would not make a good Governor be-
cause he is impracticable. 1t is the gen
eral testimony that he has quarreled with
his associates in all the positions which
he has occupied. When he was a men,
Der of the police board of New York city
he was in trouble all the time with the
other members.
The Democratic leaders say that the two
things which will operate against him as
a candidate are his intense pardsanship
and the belief that he would enforce the
excise law in a way that would be very
unacceptable to the great majority of the
people of New York city Being bitter
partisan, the Independent voters will not
regard him with great favor, and his SEN
timents- in respect to the excise law will
array the entire saloon interest of the
state against him.
Stnl it is probable that there viii be
disposition to overlook his peculiarities
because of the part he played in the war.
The Democrats, however, are not by any
means disheartened by the prospect of his
nomination. On the contrary they think
that they can find a candidate who can
beat him.

Thoroughly tired from the work and
worry of fixing up the new home in the
suburb, where she and her husband had
moved three days before, young Mrs.
Wharton was just sinking into a doze
when her made came bustling in, says the
Chicago Journal.
A lady was waiting in the parlor below,
the maid said. She had a carriage,
coachman and footman, and was dress

Gratified at this early recognition of her
by the society of the place. Mrs. Wharton
put on her new black silk and hurried
down.
AS she entered the parlor stately ma

hands outstretched.

she said, with a gracious smile.
Mrs. Wharton was charmed. "a society
leader of a certainty" she said to herself
They sat and talked for some time, and
every minute Mrs. Wharton became more
enamored of her caller
ITO be thoroughly a part of the society

said the lady at length.
And what is that?" eagerly asked the
young wife.
The woman stepped to the front door.

An English paper tells this story at the
expense of a well known physician: Not
long ago an anxious mother brought her
daughter to see him. The girl was suffer
ing from what is known among people as
general lowness." There was nothing
much the matter with her, but she was
pale and lstless, and did not care about
eating or doing anything. The doctor,
after due consultation, prescribed for h~r
a glass of claret three times a day with
her meals. The mother was somewhat
deaf, but apparently heard all he said, and
bore off her daughter, determined TO carry
out the prescription TO the very letter
In ten days time they We're back again,
and the girl looked a different creature.
She was rosy-cheeked. smiling and the
picture of health. The doctor congTatu-
lated himself upon the keen insight ne
had displayed in his diagnosis of the case.
IT am glad to see that your daughter is
so much better" he said. yes" exclaim-
ed the excited and grateful mother
thanks to you, doctor! She has had just
what you ordered. She has eaten carrots

Hundreds Of men Of a speculative turn
of mind have. no doubt, had their eyes
on Cuba and Porto Rico ever since the war
with Spain began, with the view of TAX
ing advantage of the earliest opportuni-
ties for investing money in lands there,
or securing street or stream railroad, con-
cessi0ns. or in engaging an business en-
terprises which promise attractive profits
i looks now, however, as if two or three
big syndicates would gobble up about
everything that is worth having. In our
dispatches last week it was stated that a
company already has a corps Of engineers
in the field in Cuba surveying route for a
railroad 10 run the entire length of the is
land. Tt Is stated that a syndicate having
a capital of SlS00O0O has its agents in
botn Cuba and Porto Rico securing char
ters for steam roads and electric street
roads. buying wharf properties and what
ever else promises to be profitable in
vestment. This syndicate also cOntem-
plates running lines of steamships from
ports of this country to the principal
ports of Cuba and Porto Rico II is com
posed mainly of the men who own The
street railroads of Philadelphia and New
York. II has money enough to do what
ever it undertakes. The fairly well-to-
do speculator has very little chance to
pick up profitable investments in the is
lands in competition with the large syn
dlcatcs.
There is no doubt that many millions Of
dollars of American money viii be invest
ed within a very short time in the two
West Indian islands which have come
under our control. Those who propose to
invest there are not waiting for the de-
parture of the Spaniards. They know that
those who are the first in the field viii
get the choice investments. and that those
who wait for the removal of the Spanish
flag will have 10 pay fancy prices for what
they get, because there will be great deal
of competition, and, besides, all the most
desirable concessions and investments Will
be taken.
Neither Cuba nor Porto Rico offers such
splendid opportunities for the investment
of money as many seem to think. Con-
sequently a great deal of money viii be
lost in those islands. There are plenty
of shrewd business men in Cuba and also
in Porto Rico. and they will not part with
any of their holdings without getting full
value for them. The syndicates having
plenty of money will make their under
takings profitable because they will be
able TO crowd out competition. They will
monopolize to a great extent the bust
nesses in which they engage. The aver
age investor will find more profitable in
vestments in this country than in either
of the islands.

Attacking the Republican Machine.

Attacking the Republican Machine.
1t is doubtful If there is as much cor
rupt politics in any other state in the
Union as there is in Pennsylvania. The
Republican party has been dominant there
for a long time, mainly through the cor
rupt use of money. one of the sources
of its money supply is the Interest which
the banks pay on the money of the state
deposited with them. This money is de-
posted in favored financial institutions.
They are Republican banks How much
they pay for the use of this money nobody
knows except the Republican bosses. The
total of the amount, however, which they
turn over to the bosses is very large,
because Pennsylvania is a rich state, and
the taxes annually collected amount to
millions of dollars In the campaign now
in progress the Democrats, Prohibition
lists and the Independent Republicans
have combined in demanding that the
banks which receive the deposits of state
money shall pay interest on them to the
state treasurer. And they are conducting
a red hot campaign on that issue The
attention of the taxpayers is being called
to the fact that they are being compelled
to furnish the money used in running a
corrupt political machine.
In this state the banks which receive
state money on deposit pay interest on it,
and the interest goes into the state treas
ury. 1t has not been so very long, how
ever, since the banks paid nothing on
state deposits. But they gave nothing to
the support of any political machine and,
as far as known. they gave nothing to
any one for the use of the money Gov.
Atkinson Is entitled to the credit for the
reform by which the people get the bene-
fit of interest on state deposits. This in
terest amounts to quite a little sum every
year
The opposition in Pennsylvania will
have to make a hard fight to secure the
reform for which it is battling The Re
publican machine in that state is power
full, as well as a corrupt one If the Re
publican bosses lose the interest on the
| state deposits they will be compelled to
draw more heavily on the corporations
| which look for favors from the legislature
| That will not be at all agreeable to them,
and they may refuse to comply with the
demands of the bosses. That is the hope
Of the reformers. If they can cut off the
corruption fund of the Republicans they
will stand some chance of getting the
| state out of the grasp of the worst gang
of political robbers that ever fattened on
! the public

The committee appointed to investigate
the causes for the decline in the trade
of the port of New York has hit upon
a plan which it thinks would stop the de-
crease in trade. 1t is proposed that the
channel of entrance to the harbor shall
be deepened, so that larger steamers can
be used. The general government, of
course, will be asked to foot the bin Mean
time the government is under as much
obligation to other ports as to the port
OF New York; hence when New York gets
deeper water the other ports win demand
and receive the same thing. Deeper water
therefore, win not save New Yorks trade
from inroads by Southern ports.

Occasionally fresh oysters show up
green in the shells. Many persons think
the color is caused by contamination from
copper or some other metal or substance
and that the oysters are not wholesome.
The national fish commission has recently
made an examination of green oysters,
and announces that the color is caused by
vegetable matter which serves as food
for the oyster, and that 1t does not In

Chicago people who are themselves in
possession of the information are wonder
ing whether Gov. Tanner knows which of
two sisters Of different ages is entitled by
social form 70 be called Miss" as a pre-
fix to the family name without using the
given name. The occasion of the query
is this: A short time ago the Governor
announced that he had selected Miss
Daisy Letter" to christen the new battle
ship Illinois, and then later he notified the
family that Miss Letter. had been Sc
lected. 1t occurs that there are two Lei
ter girls who are grown, Nancy and Dali
sy. and the former is the elder. She is.
therefore, according to custom, Miss
Letter" and it seems that she il is who
will christen the ship. Whether the Gov
ernor intended to compliment her or her
younger sister is a mooted question in
Chicago.

From the Dalton (Ga) Argus Dem.

Last year on American railways one
passenger was killed in accidents out of
every 2,S27 474 passengers carried. That is
TO say that you can take a train esq.,
IA times before, on the law of averages,
your turn comes TO be killed. You will
have TO travel 72,093 1863 miles on the cars
before chat turn comes, and ,945 miles
before you are injured. If you travel 20
miles every day for 800 days in the year,
you can keep on for 75S years before
your turn comes to be hurt. If there had
been railways when our Savior was born,
and you had begun to travel on the first
day Of the year A. d. l. and had Travelled
100 miles in every day of every month
of every year since then, you would still
have lin this year 1899 nearly three million
miles yet to travel before your turn came
TO be killed.
How much longer than that would you
want to live?

Once more some well-meaning temper
ance workers are giving themselves a lot
of uneasiness and some other people more
or less annoyance with regard to the mat
ter Of christening ships with wine Letters
are being written 10 everybody who has
anything to do with the launching of the
new warships begging that water instead
of wine, be used in the ceremony of nam
ing the vessels. 1t is a little difficult to
understand why these good people so
strenuously object to a quart of wine being
spilled; for that IS about all the chrsten-
ing actually amounts to, in so far as the
wine is concerned Nobody ever becomes
a wine-bibber or a drunkard from seeing
or hearing Of bottle of wine smashed
on the nose of a new ship. Really, why
should not the temperance people rather
be glad to have quart of wine spilled at
each launching? Spilled wine giveth no
color IA the cup, neither can it bite like
a serpent nor sting like an adder.
