, Y OLSON is pursuing a course well
n calculated to exhaust the popu-
larity that anne his way during
the war. He was detailed some time
ago 10 have charge OF the work Of rails
ing the Christobal Colon. This work
the government undertook. not from
any uonsensIcal prompting. but in the
belief that II would pay 10 raise the
ship. Later on the war department
concluded that the undertaking would
not pay and Lieutenant Hobson vas
ordered to abandon the work. The
charge is that he did not obey orders
promptly. When he finally became
satisfied hat the navy department was
I'm earnest, Hobson evolved a scheme
Of his own. He estimated the cost OF
raising the Christobal Colon at $500, 900
and he has proposed that this money
be secured by popular subscription.
The scheme is picturesque enough, but
doubtless II will fail. Meanwhile, Hob
son is not conducting himself In a man
ner that will be apt to strengthen his
hold upon public favor.

Kings are coming Roosevelts
way in New York. His can
didacy for the office Of governor
has taken shape and, II the latest re-
ports are true, Boss Platt, after long
hesitating. has made up his mind to
Black and support Roosevelt
in the nominating convention which
meets in Saratoga, September p.
Newspapers in interior New York
quote Mr.. Plat as saying that In the
state there is a loud call for Roosevelt
but no demand for Black. That state
ment is enough to settle Blacks case;
without the support of the Platt ma
chine. he is nothing. The opportune
candidacy of Roosevelt comes to Plat
as a timely relief; II permits him To
range the machine OF the side of a
candidate who is in popular favor. II
may be smooth sailing for Boss Plat
through his years politics; his
troubles will begin, If the republicans
carry New York, when Roosevelt Is
governor. IT will be an administration

~ NE Of the odd features i'm an un-
~ pleasant situation is Secretary
Ayers persistence in the asser-
ton that his relations with General
Miles are not unpleasant or ~unfriendly.
That is a view OF the case which Gen
eraI Miles himself does not share. Ap-
parently the general is doing what he
can to make as conspicuous as possible
the fact that he and the secretary Of
war are sharply at odds. General
Miles has said enough TO warrant court
martial proceedings against him. APP
~parently he wants To accomplish that
result: II would bring TO public atten-
tion many important facts relating to
the gross misconduct Of h war, and
General Miles appears TO be confident
that this responsibility would fall upon
the war department. Doubtless Cen
eral Alger shares that opinion; he is
not calling General Miles to account
on the contrary he uses the newspaper
interview process IN the hope OF
spreading the notion that he and Gen
eral Miles are in accord.

CHEERFUL PROSPECT.
What n Young Minister Had to Inspire
Pleasant Thoughts.

A nervous young minister, in visiting
neighboring village, had an unpieas-
ant experience. The old lady at W hose
house he stayed, in showing him to his
room. said:
at amt anybody I'd put in this room.
This here room is full Of sacred associa-
tions to me-" She went on. My first
husband died in that bed with his head
on these pillows, and poor Mr.. jerks
died sitting in that corner. Sometimes
when come into the room in the dark
] think | see him sitting there still. My
own father died layin' right on that
lounge right under the window there.
Poor pa, he was Il spirtualist, and he
allus said he'd appear in this room after
he died, and sometimes | am foolish
enough TO look for him. If you should
see anything of him tonight you'd
better not tell me. It'd be a sign to me
that there was something in spiritual
ISM, and I'd hate to think that. My son
10y my first man fell dead of heart dis
ease right where you stand. lie was
doctor, and there's two whole skeic-
tons in that closet there belonged to
him. and half dozen skulls in that
lower drawer. If you are up early and
want something to amuse yourself
with before breakfast just open that
cupboard there and you will find a lot
Of dead mems bones. My poor boy
thought Il lot of them. Well, good
night, and pleasant Dreams"

TELL THE TIME BY TRAINS.
Families Along the Illinois Central
Have No Need for Clocks.

Not all residents of Chicago depend
on clocks to keep themselves informed
of the time of day. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that people who live
along the line of railroads can tell the
exact hour of day or night by the
trains which pass their homes. Along
the line of the Illinois Central railroad,
for instance, there are many homes
where clocks are an unknown luxury.
In the vicinity of Thirty-first street,
for instance, there is a household which
is wide awake at seven o'clock in the
morning. says the Chicago Chronicle.
1--WE always get up at ELL" said a
member OF the household to a COM
panion in a street car the other day.
1.-TWO eleven, what time is that?"
asked the friend.
why, thought you knew" replied
the other, '2l1 is the seven o'clock train
which passes the house. AS soon as we
hear the bell on the 211 we all get up.
Then we watch for the other trains. We
can see them pass the house and as we
all are acquainted with the schedule
we can tell the exact time of day. At
night we tell the hour by the bells on
the engines. We are familiar with the
sounds. No. we have no clock in
the house. Never had one as far as |
can remember and we find train time
more reliable than a lot of clocks which
cannot he kept in repair"
