A Curious Coincidence.

A curious coincidence of the death
of Vice-president Hobart is found in
the fact that of the SIX vice-presidents
who have died in office, four died within
few days of the same day of the
month in the year of their deaths, the
death of Mr.. Hobart being Nov. 81. 1899;
Mr.. Wilson, Nov. %, 1875; Elbrldge
Gerry, Nov. %, 1874, and Mr. Hendricks,
Nov. %, 1885. The other TWO vice pres
idents who died in office were Clinton
and King. The former died April 20,
1872, and the latter, April II, 1853.

Bananas Nav Go I'm.

Bananas within the next few days
are liable to be as expensive as hot.
house grapes in midwinter. Storms in
Honduras and the West indies have
wrought havoc with the plantations,
and the planters are unable to prepare
for shipment what little remains of the
crop. The importers at New Orleans
are dependent upon the West Indies
and Honduras for the cOuntry's supply
of the fruit, and when storms interrupt
the progress of crop gathering or Ien-
der the transportation of the fruit im-
possible, the country is compelled to
pay fancy prices This is what is likely
to happen, and those who have hereto
fore bought the long, slim yellow fruit
by the dozen may be compelled to pur-
chase them within a short time by the
piece.

The proposal of Admiral Dewey
to return to any donor who desires
it the amount of his subscription to
the house fund is very appropriate
answer to the alleged donors who
have been making complaints by
letters to newspapers. 1t is about
the only thing an indignant high
minded man could do. But there
is reason to believe that his indig-
nation goes very much beyond this
expression, and that he thinks there
was an animus in the attack on him.
1t has certainly developed that he
and his relatives hold that opinion.

WASHINGTON CORES
PONDENCE.

The Navy Department promptly
vetoed the proposition to take the old
frigate Constitution, "Old Ironsides"
from Portsmouth, N. H. where she
has been used as a receiving ship since
1881, to be used in the naval welcome
to Admiral Dewey. The vessel is old,
and the Department considers her far
too valuable as a patriotic relic to be
risked by even the short voyage from
Portsmouth to New York.
According to Mr.. F. P. Metzger,
Chief Clerk of the General Land Of
flee, 1t Is a mistaken idea to suppose
that there is no desirable public land
open to settlement under the home
stead law. Speaking on the subject
he said: There is as good an oppor-
tunity to day for a settler to get a farm
in the West by merely pre-emping it
as there ever was. No better located
or richer land vas taken up fifty years
ago than awaits settlement today. The
man.who wants a farm Of rich land on
which to make his home can get it.
and the General Land Office is ready
to advise those desiring to settle on
this land, and tell them where they can
locate. Particularly good land will be
found in Washington. Oregon, Idaho,
Montana. Wyoming, Minnesota. and
the Dakotas. Not only a a good
farm be secured, but farms can be had
with timber on them worth $4,000.
This timber can be sold as 1t Is near
enough to streams or railroads to get 1t
to the market. This land is constantly
being taken up and there is enough Of
1t to last for a long time to come. The
General Land Office is doing more
business today than ever in its history"
This may be surprising Information to
many, but 1t is official.
