SCHLEY NOT A CANDIDATE.
Any Political Office should II
be rendered Him.

Philadelphia. June 14--The Times
Adm. Schley has been repeatedly sug-
gested as on the list from which the
democrats would be likely to choose
their candidate for president or vice
president, but all who know the
views of RI. Adm. Schley uniformly
declare that such use of his name was
not only unwarranted, but against
his own distinctly expressed wishes
and purposes. He was specially care
full on going to sea in command OF
the South Atlantic squadron to de-
clare to his friends that under no
circumstances would he consent to
become political candidate.
Notwithstanding the publicity
given these repeated and emphatic
declarations of Rr. Adm. Schley, he
has been frequently discussed as
candidate for the vice presidency on
the ticket with Bryan. The express
sion from the rear admiral of refusal
to accept public Office has Just been
repeated by him in private letter to
the editor of the Times, dated lilo
Janeiro, May IS, from which the fol-
lowing extract is taken:
Your editorials touching the talk
OF placing me in nomination with Mr.
Bryan reflect precisely what my
views are. know nothing of politics
nor of political life, and under no cir
cumstances would / allow the use of
my name before any convention for
any Office whatever. / have passed
the age when presidential or any 9TH
er kind of bees worry me. L know
nothing of the duties of any political
Office, and am fully content TO live the
years left me in quiet retiremer% from
the turmoil of any Office. l am re-
solved irrevocably not TO accept any
nomination if il were rendered, and
If in my absence / should be elected !
would not serve
This letter from Rr. Adm. Schley
was written without any view of pub
LEGATION and in all the frankness OF
trusting friendship, but il is only an
act of justice to him that his views
thus clearly and pointedly expressed
should be known to the country.

Why He Got 1t.

There Is a sentiment common to the
most Of mankind which makes ones
own home and neighbOrs the best there
are in the world, and even a stranger
who halls from the home town the most
welcome friend to be met away from
there. Nevertheless, such an illustra-
ton of it as the following, told by Gen.
Sir Redvers Butler, Is rare:
The story was told the Rev. s. Bar
ing Gould by Gen. Butler himself, and
Is narrated in the authors words as far
as possible.
Sir Redvers was on his way, with a
regiment of soldiers, to Canada. on
the entrance of the st. Lawrence the
vessel was enveloped in fogs and de-
layed so that provisions ran short. Now
there was station on an islet with
supplies for shipwrecked mariners, SO
Sir Redvers went ashore In a boat, to
visit the store and ask for assistance.
When he applied he found a woman
only in charge.
NO" said she, "the supplies are for
those who are shpwrecked-not Tor
such as you"
But this is Government depot, and
we are servants Of the crown"
Cant help 1t; you're not shipwreck-
ed"
There was a very recognizable into
nation In the woman's voice. Sir Red

old One and All, and Butler"

"The wedding ring completes the CIR
Gle, typical as is the ring itself Of the
perpetuity of the compact" writes Mrs.
Burton Kingsland In the Ladies' Home
Journal. 'Inside the ring-always q
plain gold one-are engraved the mi
tials Of bride and bridegroom, and the
date Of the marriage. 1t is placed on
the third finger of the left hand be-
cause Of the fanciful conceit that from
that finger a nerve goes straight to the
heart.
"Some say that the word obey in
the marriage service Is an anachrOnism

be bound, but American women do not
often feel their chains. In some prov
inces of Russia the brides father gives

Metal Markets Disturb Serenity OF the
Trade Situation.
Bradstreet's says: More rather thar
less irregularity in the trade and price
situation is to be noted this week, part
ly in the result of weather conditions,
but partly in the case of the iron and
steel trade because of the continuance
of those efforts in the friction of lower
prices which have been such q feature
of the iron and steel trade of late.
That the basis conditions of trade re.
main on the whole more favorable is,
however, evidenced by number OF
features. Railroad earnings continue
heavy, and the decrease noted in bank
clearings is chargesble largely to relig.
ious and other holiday observances, and
to restricted stock speculation.
1t has been a weather market for the
cereals and most agricultural products,
these advancing early this week, but
weakening toward the close.
Wool is weak, but there is rather
more inquiry, and now, as one year
ago, relatively highest prices rule al
points OF productlOn.
Backward weather conditions have
affected the lumber trade demand but
in this as in a number of other lines
the advanced prices demanded are cred.
tied with checking business.
The pressure of heavy supplies is re.
sponsible for the slight weakening
shown in the price of raw sugar thil
week, while the refined market re.
mains unchanged.
