the Monroe doctrine. They are claim

and at the same time they urge that we

accepted his will in making its nomina-
tions. 1t was at Bryan's order that
Hill was rejected: and he thereby con-
ferred the greatest favor within his dis
position upon one Of his bitterest politi-
cal enemies. These are the inside facts
relating to the nominations for vice
president. and they are as fun OF sig
nificance as the characters OF the two
men are widely divergent.

The Difference.

The Difference.
Contrast. say some OF our Democratic
contemporaries, the course of Roosevelt
and Hin. Each of them had declared
that he did not wish a nomination as
vice president. In the case of each
there was a manager of the party or
ganlzation in New York state who was
more than DESTROYS that he should be
obliged'to accept. But Hill resisted sue
cessfully the attempt to nominate him,
while Roosevelt accepted the honor that
came to him against his will From
which they draw conclusion of the
superior moral stamina of the New
York Democrat
Any comparison between Hill and
Roosevelt which rests upon force of
will and devotion to principle is suffi-
GENTLY humorous upon the face Of II,
The former Is a man whose whole rec
ord is devoid of principle, and who never
took firm stand on any question in his
life that did not seem to him to touch
his personal fortunes closely. The latter

type OF devotion to conviction, of abrupt
and almost reckless courage, OF willing
he believed that he heard the call of
public duty. There could be no two men
between whom a comparison might be
instituted so greatly to the praise of
Republicanism.
But the parallel sought to be drawn
suggests other comments from the
known course of events. Theodore
Roosevelt is the Republican nominee for
vice president because the mass OF his
party would have it so. No matter with
whose views 1t conceded or whose plans
it put awry. his selection was accom-
plished by the people of the West. who
rocked nothing of movements in the
inner circles of politics. They demand

A Woman, Supposed to Be Dement'S
ed, Threw an AK at william as
He Was Passing in Carriage.

Breslau, Nov. 17.-Emperor William
was the object of an attempted out
rage Friday, which failed. As he was
driving in an open carriage to the
cuiraissier barracks, accompanied by
the hereditary prince of Saxe-Meinin-
gen, a '""man in the crowd hurled an
ak at carriage. The rapidity with
which the vehicle was passing saved
ITS occupants. The ak fell just be-
hind the carriage. The woman was
arrested.
Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE following YER
sion of the attack appeared in an
extra edition of the Lokal Anzeiger
Friday afternoon:
"As the kaiser at 1918 p. m, short
~ after arriving at Breslau, drove
with the hereditary prince of Sake
Meiningen in his carriage from the
depot to the castle a poorly clad wom-
an, in the Darten strasse, threw a
Ratchet which until then she had
keut hidden under a shawl at his mai
esty's carriage. The Ratchet hit the
carriage and fell to the ground. The
kaiser quietly continued the drive
while the woman was seized by by
ISLANDERS and the police who FASTENED
to the scene and arrested her. 1t is
thought the woman is insane"
Breslau, Nov. 1.-THE assailant is
tradeswoman of Breslau. pro-
visional medical examination of the
prisoner has been made and she has
been pronounced to be insane.
While Emperor William was re-
turning from the barracks to the
railroad station he was cheered by
immense crowds of people who were
gathered along the route.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Mammoth Iron Steamships
at GretOn, CT.

New London, CT, Nov. 16.-Actual
work began this week on the laying
of the keels to the mammoth iron
steamships to be built at the works
of the Eastern Ship Building Co. at
Greton, opposite New London, and
from this date the work of putting
together the hulls of the ships will
go rapidly on.
There was issued from the Office of
the company Thursday an authorita-
tive statement regarding the size of
the ships, which shows them to be
larger than any vessels in the world
now building or planned. The new
vessels will be 10000 tons register
and $4,000 tons displacement, or just
10000 tons more displacement than
the new Atlantic greyhound Deutsch-
land. The new steamers, which are
being built primarily for cargo car
riers, are not as long as many At
lantic liners, but are much wider and

EROS PHOTOGRAPHED.

Plate Caught It's Likeness.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov 16.-Prof.
F. E. Leavenworth photographed the
asteroid Eros through the telescope
at the state university Wednesday
evening. Considering that the dimin-
utive planet is said to be $4,000, 900
miles away, it was long shot. The
professor said chat the planet could
not be seen with the naked eye or
through the telescope. By a close
mathematical calculation ne ascer.
tanned its exact location, and the SEN
sitive plate caught its likeness, even
though it was beyond human ken.

BODY sNATcH1NG.
Evidence That Many Graves Had
Been Robbed i'm "A Cemetery in
NewaygO County, Michigan.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 16.-A special
from Kalamazoo, Mich, says: The
authorities of this city were inform
ed Thursday of "a horrible case Of
wholesale body snatching which took
place in the Springbrook cemetery in
Newaygo county. The evidence at
hand points to the fact that the work
was done several days ago, as the
earth removed from the graves was
frozen and the barren graves were
half filed with snow.
Nine bodies, so far as known at
present, were exhumed, and all but
one were those of persons who had
died within the past year, as follows:
Mrs. Carlotta Eldredge, aged 50; her
daughter Mildred, years old, both
of whom died of typhoid fever; Chas.
James, so years old; Henry Houston, a
middle-aged man; Clarence Cole, a
17-year-old boy; Don and BERTHE Ores
ton, infants, and Mrs. George Bailey.
about so years of age.
The ninth victim of the ghoulS,
which is supposed to have been Mrs.
| Henry Knowles, although the body
is in such an advanced stage of de-
composition as to be unacceptable,
was discovered in a hedge fence about
quarter of mile from the ceme-
terry. She died about five years ago.
The cemetery is an isolated spot,
and up to date there has not been a
burial there for nearly three weeks.
1t was when Isaac Dunton, the sex
ton, went to dig a grave Wednesday
morning that the discovery was made.
The remnants of the Baskets, which
seemed to have been knocked apart
with an ak, were strewn about the
graveyard.
The sheriff of Newaygo county was
in Kalamazoo Thursday and was met
here by two strange men from Grand
Rapids, supposed to be Pinkerton de
tectives who are to work on the mys-
terious case. The three men left for
Hastings.

SOUTHERN STATES.
Pr esident Will Oppose Any Move
ment Looking to n Reduction of
Congressional representation.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE opinion
is growing among public men who are
in the confidence of the president
that he will oppose any movement
looking to a reduction of the congress
sional representation of the southern
states on account of the charges of
the acknowledgements of colored vot-
ers. The president is said to be OPP
posed to reviving ill-feeling, which he
thinks would be the result of a bill
thus touching the south's suffrage
He has been told from many sources
recently that an important element
of southern business men, manufac-
turers and others is at heart with the
republicans, and that the nucleus of
a future revolution against existing
political methods in the south has
been securely established and should
not be dissipated by legislation that
would be regarded as sectional.
On account of the presidents atti-
tude, there is growing opinion that
legislation looking to the reduction
of the southern representation will
not be pressed by party leaders in
congress.

grandeur of his surroundings when
entering this noble temple of the Lord
for the first time; and that this feeling

by children as well, came home to the

the church proper, and its numerous

ner confdes his transgressions in de-
tail to his spiritual adviser he cannot
obtain remission, for how could priest
remit offenses of which he has no
knowledge? This explanation is inter-

Among the statuary in Notre Dame
NO piece is more admired than little
statue of the Virgin, carved from the
