A Naples Landlord Who Mistook Dewey

A, Naples Landlord Who Mistook Dewey
for Buffalo Bill.
Washington Post: In connection
with the visit of Admiral Dewey to
Naples, an amusing story is told. 1t /,
highly illustrative of the dense igno.
rance of the Neapolitans as to current
events in other parts Of the world. Ii
seems that the inhabitants Of tha,
beautiful but sleepy city were not
aware Of the presence Of their distin.
guished guest, although the Italian
journals in other cities had contained
great accounts Of the exploits of the
American naval commander. The
English and American colonies were
very profuse in their display OF the
stars and stripes, and the newspapers
of that city might have been aware,
had they not slumbered. that an Amer
lean Of some distinction was about TO
honor the burg with visit. 1t was
not until the day after the admiralI
landing, however, that the Naples
press awoke to the Importance Of their
guest. Even then, instead of announc.
the mention was wedged in, with or
dinary type, between the police news
and the daily reports on the spagketti
output. A well-known English broker.
who WAS putting up at one Of the flea
infested hotels Of the city, was very
desirous of paying his respects to
Dewey as soon as he should arrive.
The broker, who butchers the dulcet
Italian in frightful style undertook tc

In 1893 he was called from retirement
to act as temporary chairman of the
republican state convention. AS such
officer he made a speech which had
tremendous influence in checking the
threatened bolt of prohibitionists on
account of the conventions declaration
for practical local option. He was a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for governor in 1895, but his age
was against him.

RoosEvELr IN THE wEsr.

Gov. Roosevelt is popular in the West.
There isn't any doubt about that. The
Western people are trying TO make him
understand that if he makes a good re-
cord he win stand a good chance to get
the nomination of his party for President
in 1904.
Gov Roosevelt went TO the reunion of
the Rough Riders in New Mexico for the
pleasure of meeting the men of the regi-
ment he commanded in the campaign in
Cuba, but it is safe 10 say that there was
present in his mind, when he accepted the
invitation of the Rough Riders, a desire
to find out how the people of the West
regarded him from the standpoint of an
available presidential candidate
He ought to be satisfied with the receo-
route he has Travelled to and from New
Mexico. 1t is evident that if he should de-
eide to become candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination next
year he would give Mr.. Mckinley a pretty
sharp race. But he hasn't any intention
of antagonizing the President unless the
! political situation should undergo a very
radical change. He is planning for 1901.
That he is doing that is apparent from the
thoughts he is throwing out in the
speeches he is delivering at the various
! stopping places on his way home.
He knows that his popularity in the
East depends upon the record he makes
as Governor of New York Therefore he
is telling the West that the future of the
country depends upon the men of that
section. He cannot apparently say enough
to satisfy himself of the Western people,
their virtues and patriotism He hasn't
mad a great amount of experience in poll
tics. but he is showing himself to be an
excellent politician. When he gets back
TO New York he will have the satisfaction
of knowing that he has done great deal
in very few days TO advance his politi-
cal fortunes.

We are satisfied that II all the worthless

There was time when Georgia farmers

seem to enjoy their fieas in the daytime
and their bowling at night.
But why should this sort of enjoyment

Washington's poisonous llp-biting bug
has been run down. captured and ideni-
fed. II is the "melsnolestes piceps." and
Is said TO be the first cousin of the straw
berry bug. and a relative OF the bedbug
family. Dr. Howard says the report that
the bug would bite only men. and would
bite them only upon the lip, is erroneous.
since as a matter of fact the bug will
probe everything 1t comes into contact
with. II is this prediction towards prob
ing everything that has probably caused
all of the poisonous bites. The bug has no
poison glands. 1t feeds upon other bugs.
and dead Insects and even animals. Its
beak is serrated. II the bug alights upon
dead rat. into the carcass goes It's beak.
Then if II should next alight upon a sleep
ers lip, into thS lip would go The sharp
little beak, carrying with it the poison
from the rats body. The bug is nocturnal
in its habits. flies noiselessly, and is at
tracted by light There seems TO be no
explainable reason why an Of the wash
