if we had happened to get trifle

we were "all right and running

we still liked not to miss our Sun

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.--Captain
Ben Parker and his brother Will

Shamrock in both Tuesdays and
today's races. DR.. Mackie, speak
ing for Sir Thomas Upton, said
the two men were aboard the
English boat simply because they
are friends of Captains Hogarth

"You may say" said DR.. MaclSie
this evening, "that Captain Park.

permission, but please make it
plain that he has nothing what
ever to do with the sailing and
management. of the Shamrock.
Captains Hogarth and Wringe

Captain Parker steered the Sham

The INDEPENDENT representing as
many prominent" citizen as the Ad-
vertis"r does has expressed an opin.
ion which has been generally en-
dorsed, to wit: that Mr.. j. A. Has
singer for many years Chief Clerk
of the Interior Office should be in
duced to accept the Office of Minis
ter. The whole business is only a
question Of few months when we
will have government very differ
ent from the one under which we
now exist and travel around in
kind Of trance as to the puzzle OF
"where are we att" OF course we
admit that Mr.. McCandless will
make an excellent minister il there
only was something to administer.
Mr.. Hassinger will do the routine
work because Mr.. j. A. McCandless
knows nothing about the work of
the government and Mr.. McCand-
less will draw his salary and vote
with Cooper to "loan" the treasury
deposits to needy banks. Mr.. Nc
Candless by the way is stockholder
and director in the Bank OF Hawaii
Mr.. McCandless however has been
endorsed. Mr.. j. A: Martin in
whose political shop Mr.. McCand
less was heard to abuse Mr.. Dole
and the missionaries" a short
while ago has expressed his opinion
in favor OF his friend "Jack." The
prominent tailor has probably taken
the measurement OF McCandless, cut
his clothes and is OF course in pos
ition to state that slack" is a per-
iect "ft" in the happy official fami-
ly OF s. B. D.
Mr.. j. s. Walker is another en-
dorser. He, according to the Adver-
tiser, looks upon Mr.. McCandless as
one thoroughly competent. John
ny" is a good man on the turf and
he possibly has done some insurance
business with the to-be minister.
We are glad that he now is Soar
ing" above the turf and expresses
his deep opinions on the qualities Of
public men.
Besides these endorsers, Mr.. Nc
Candless is backed by Mamie Phil
lips, L. A. Thurston (of the Adver-
tiser), W. r. Castle (of the Adver-
tiser), j. B. Castle (of the Adverti-
ser), the Carriers and w. o. Smith
(of Washington) whom the to-be
minister called everything during
the last Legislature. The reason
why we endorse Mr.. McCandless, il
no better man can be found for the
job is that ha stands pledged to fire
out Superintendent Rowell from the
office OF the Public Works-pledged
if he is man OF his word and ready
to back up his public expressions
during his incdmbency as Senator.
IfDole appoints McCandless, Rowell
must go. II McCaudless is appoint

md Mrs. Otto Won Schaez1er Who Refused Baronetcy.

Germany some Is years ago. He had
served as a lieutenant in the German
army, but like so many others of his
nation. came to the United States to
make his own way in the world His
father was Baron Won Schaezler with
estates around SchIoss VOmbach. near
Munich. and Otto was the eldest son,
and heir to the estate and the title.
Otto was employed for some time in the
Santa Fe offices in Topeka.
This summer Mr.. Schaezler received
notice of his fathers death and that his
presence at the old home was necessary.
Leaving his wife with her brother in
Davenport Mr. Schaezler went to Ger
many to arrange the succession
And then he did what not many ma
tive born Americans would haze done.
He relinquished his title to a barOnetcy,
giving it to a younger brother, but re-
turns to the United States with a for
tune. The Topeka friends of Mabel
Cannin viii be glad to know that she
fully approves Of this action. While
so many American girls are anxious
to wed a title, with or without wealth,
she is quite willing to retain that re-
publican simplicity which seems to be
slipping out from the American charac-
ter In this too the old time friends
of DR.. Caniff realize how completely
this action would have met the ap
prevail of her sturdy republican father
Just what is the amount of the for
tune is not known Tt is possible that
Mr.. and Mrs. Schaezler may settle in
Topeka Their only child, Paul, was
born last August.

Title Of Lecture Delivered Last Night
to City Teachers.

"A. E Winship. of Boston, 1ectured
last night at the High school on Saints
and RascaIs.' The lecture was given
under the auspices of the teachers of
the Topeka public schools. The assem-
bly, hall was crowded.
Mr.. WinShip's lecture was a plea
for better education. He told of the
J. 200 descendants from the original
luke who lived some 200 years ago in
New York and was noted as a shift
less ne'erdOweu. OF the descendants
great numbers were criminals, imbec1leS
and the lowest types of humanity
None made good and leading citizens in
their communities. He said that he
wished to trace the descendants of an
other quality of mankind, Jonathan
Edwards who lives in the colonies and
was a contemporary OF benjamin
Franklin. OF the 1900 descendants from
Jonathan Edwards he found lawyers,
doctors. ministers. statesmen and lead
ers in all branches of business with but
two or three bad or illiterate charac-
tiers. He said, in speaking Of the work
to be done now. that those who were In
the Juke's class should be taught better
and won over to the Edwards class
In speaking about the missions of the
different countries he said England has
led the world for 200 years and will for
200 years more in economies. Germany
leads the world in education and in
VestigatiOn and the great discoveries
in science France. he said. leads the
world socially and dictates thefashions.
Americas work has been and is to be

Not many American girls would will
ingly give up a title but that is just
what Mabel Canniff, a Topeka girl, did.
Many of the older citizens of Kansas

Caniff. while the younger generation

Fred. Win H, so long in the Santa
Fe offices, now living in Davenport, Ia,

in Topeka society.
Dr. Canniff was one of the early set
tiers of Kansas, and was one of the
main promoters of the LeavenWOrth,
Lawrence & Galveston railroad, now
the Southern Kansas branch of the
Santa Fe. 1t was through him that
George r. Peck came to Kansas to be

its growth and prosperity. At one time
DR. Canniff was at the head of the
Odd Fellows of the state. and he it was
who introduced the knights of Pythias

a little over ten years ago, the late T.

made executor of the will. and guardian
of Mabel. the only daughter.

she made her home with Mrs. Frank
