How the UproariOus Hosiery of q
Swell Young Man Struck
Hotel Clerk.

There is a young business man who has
more hosiery than he knows what to do
with. He was quite recently on business
trip, and happened to stop for a couple of
days in Philadelphia. He wanted to get
some advertising, but he was not fixed to pay
for it, and he had read about the liking of
the dudes" and other freaks who manage to
get some brief notoriety because of their
antics. He had ten dollars to spare on a
scheme, and he accordingly went to bar
gain sale at which they had lot of last sum-
mer socks at so cents pair. He spent the
money on these things, and he went out of
his way to get the most outrageous combina-
tons of color and the most bizarre effects
that were in the place He succeeded won
derfully. He had socks which made the
asphalt sidewalks curl as they do under ex-
IRENE heat. His eXtremities fairly shrieked.
Then he spent the day in the corridor of the
hotel sitting IN conspicuous place showing
off the socks. He would wear a pair for
about 20 minutes, go to his room, change,
and, coming down, show off another design
for about the same time. He did this for al
most ten hours, and naturally attracted
quite a good deal of attention. That was
what he wanted, but he could not break into
the newspapers. The clerk when he was
paving his bill said:
you ought to patent that invention"
whats that?' asked the sock man with
an anticipatory smile, as he expected some
thing complimentary about his scheme

equanimity with which the residents
of the capital of the Orange Free
State accept the British occupation.
momentarily eclipse in interest the
military situation. 1t is believed here
that the commander-in-chief of the
British forces in South Africa will
soon push on to Pretoria, but Great
Britain is quite content to listen for
a few days to the acclamations of the
people of Bloemfontein and permit
the troops to enjoy a few days rest
before expecting further success.
Lord Roberts made a quaint speech to
the guards at Bloemfontein when, in
his first congratulatory words, he
expressed pride in their splendid
march of SO miles in % hours and
gave ample assurance of his ultimate
design. Through a small mistake"

WHEELER IN WASHINGTON.
He Talks of Conditions in LuzOn, Insisting
That War Is Over-Says Troops
Are Doing Well.

Washington, March 17.-Gen. Joe
Wheeler called at the war department
Friday afternoon The general was
in the uniform of brigadier general
of the volunteer army. He looked the
picture of health; better than when
he left Washington for Manila. He
gave Gen Corbin brief description of
the conditions in Luzon when he left.
He insisted that the war was over and
that nothing moro was to be done ex-
cept to run down a few guerrillas and
irregu1ars. There was difficulty in
this work he said, and there was dam
ger, too, but its prosecution was not
war" Ambuscades were frequent
and annoying and it was not easy to
tell whether the hidden force was
strong or weak; three men had been
mistaken for a company, in some
cases.
The general said that the American
troops are doing splendid work there.
They are sound and healthy and in
quite as good shape as they would be
at home, engaged in similar service.
This was owing in a measure to the
excellent care for their men exhibited
by officers and to the watchful precau-
tions of the staff of the army.

AS AN ssoLIvE BRANCH"
Eastern Democrats. as an Inducement to
support Bryan, Want Tom johnson
for Chtirma.sa Df the COMMITTEES.
ST. Louis, March ia Washing

St. Louis, March IA Washington
special to the Republic says:
What may prove to be a purpose on
the part OF the eastern wing of the de-
mocracy to obtain control of the dem
ocratic national committee has been dis
| closed here This plan is to make Tom L.
Johnson, of Ohio, chairman of the ma
tional committee, and if this is done, it
is held out as an inducement, Grover
Cleveland, David B. Hill, William @.
" Whitney, the BeImonts and other we'll
known democrats, who bolted or were
lukewarm in their support of W. J. Bry-
an in 1856, will be enlisted back into the
cause. AS the proposition carries with it
the suggestion that silver will be aban-
doned in the Kansas City platform, it has
not received any substantial aid or COM
fort in democratic headquarters here.
Ben Gable, a former national committee
man from Illinois, who bolted the Bryan
ticket four years ago, appears in the role
of chief sponsor for the Johnson move
ment.
Gov Stone Credits the Report.
st. Louis, March 17.-Ex-Gov. Stone,
democratic national committeeman
from Missouri, said he believed there
was some truth in the statement that
there is a movement among eastern
democrats to elect Tom L. Johnson, of
Ohio, chairman of the national commit
tee and eliminate silver from the plat
form. Gov. Stone said:
Some sort of a scheme is on foot. al
though am not able yet to say exactly
what it is. From information that came
to me at Washington, and since, I
gather that the end which the Palmer
and Buckner democrats are trying to at
tain is the capture of the organization of
the party. Their scheme seems to be to
get into the convention as delegates, and
with as little noise as possible, but by
means of adroit manipulation control as
many delegates as possible, with the ul-
innate object of controlling the conven-
ton and capturing the national commit
tee. They will be for Bryan, but they
want the organization.

California;. Big Tree Groves.

Washington, March 1.-THE com
missioner of the general land office
has recommended to the secretary of
the interior that the Mammoth tree
grove and the South Park grove of
big trees in CaIaveras and Tuolumne
counties, Cal, be set aside as gov
eminent domain, to preserve these
trees from injury and destruction. He
expresses the opinion that the case
appears to be one in which the gov
eminent would doubtless be justified
in having recourse to the exercise Of
its right of eminent domain.
