ROOSEVELTS WESTERN TRIP.
to Open the Minnesota
State Fair.


Minnesota country papers containing
notices that Vice President Roosevelt is to
open the state fair September with an
velt's political opponents call attention to
the political character Of the advertise
ments of the fair. One of these notices
contains this paragraph: Teddy. the idol
alike of New York reformers and western
plainsmen, and one of the most loved men
in the country, without respect to party,
has accepted an invitation to make the
opening address"
Republican politicians who are laying
wires for other presidential aspirants are
almost sure to undertake to make capital
is declared by Mr.. Roosevelts friends that
he cannot be accused of playing politics in
accepting an invitation of this kind. If he
is to be a candidate for three years from
now he must let the people know that ne Is
in existence. To bury himself in the Vice
Presidents chair is, they assert, just what
his opponents want. They contend that
Mr.. Roosevelt has an abundance of polit-
ical friends and admirers in the east, and
Is merely following the example of Presi-
dent Mckinley visiting the people.
1t is said that Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to
build up his position in the east by means
of his visits to the west. His western
trips are always thoroughly exploited, and
whatever he does out among his friends is
carefully noted in the east. That is what
the friends of Mr. Roosevelt desire. They
declare that Mr.. Roosevelt has so many
hearty friends in the west and is always
received with so much cordiality that only
good can result from the facts being known
in parts of the country that are supposed
to be hostile to the idea of Roosevelt for
President.

COURT OF INQUIRY COUNSEL
ADMIRAL SAMPSON. NOT A PARTY
WILL NOT HAVE ONE.
Admiral Schley Will BE Represented
by Mr.. jeremiah M. wilson
Conference Yesterday.

A great deal Of speculation has been in
dulged in lately at the Navy Department
as to whether Admiral Sampson will be
represented by counsel at the forthcoming
Schley court of inquiry, and whether Judge
Advocate General. Lemly viii call upon the
government for legal assistance in ham
ding the case. Examination Of the law in
the premises elicits the fact that Admiral
Sampson Is not entitled to legal represen-
tation at the hearings Of the court. The
law bearing upon the case states that
either the complainant or defendant in a
court-martial or court of inquiry may be
represented by legal counsel, but inasmuch
as Admiral Sampson is neither complainant
nor defendant he is not entitled to this
privilege. From an official viewpoint Ad-
miral Sampson does not figure in the in
Quiry at all. The court was convened at
the instance of Admiral Schley; therefore
there is no complainant to be considered.
1t Is improbable also that Capt. Lemly,
judge advocate of the proposed court of in
qu1ry, will ask the government for assist
ance in handling the case. In courts of a
similar nature in the past 1t has been the
practice in some instances to call for legal
aid from the Department of Justice, which
assistance has always been granted. Judge
Advocate General Lenly is entitled to such
aid In this case, but it was stated today
that the department hardly deemed it
necessary to make such a requisition.
Admiral Schley'x Counsel.
Mr.. jeremiah ". Wilson of this city,
who arrived in New York Saturday from
Europe, whittier he had been suddenly
summoned to return. will be the senior
counsel for. Admiral Schley before the ap-
preaching court of inquiry. Mr.. Wilson
sent telephone message to his Washing
ton office this morning stating that he
would not reach here until next Friday.
Upon his arrival in New York Saturday
Mr.. Wilson was met by Capt. Parker, who
has beer searching the Navy Department
records in behalf of Admiral Schley and
yesterday, according to today's New York
Sun. Mr.. Wilson and the admiral had a
protracted conference at the Albemarle
Hotel. The two gentlemen have been in
innate personal friends for many years
and it was generally felt when Admiral
Schley asked for the investigation into the
Santiago campaign that Mr.. Wilson would
be engaged by him in a legal capacitY.

Tended the action taken by the local men,

was right" said Mr.. Davis in an interview.
''They had many things to take into con-
sideration. Their position was a perilous
one. They feared to become non-union
men on the one hand and knew that they
might lose their homes by going on strike
which they believed would be failure.

tary Hackett was asked by the committee
today to raise the rate to correspond with
that being paid outside the yard until The
board reconvenes. Mr.. Hackett stated
that he was willing to do everything that
was fair in the matter, and promised to
take the matter under consideration for
decision later in the week.

One Mans Great Power.

Walter Wellman, the well-known cor
respondent Of the Chicago Record-Her-
old, writing to his paper under date of
Washington, Oct 2S said
president Roosevelt to-day put his
finger on the button which moves most
of the wires in the United States Sen
ate. Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
is the button. He is the greatest wire
puller in the upper branch of the Amer
lean Congress. In all matters pertain
ing to tariff and finance he is by long
odds the most influential man in the
Senate. He is the acknowledged prince
of the politicians of that body. He has
fixed more tariff schedules to suit inter-
ested parties, defeated more legislation
that some one of wealth and power did
not want, achieved a greater success as
a managing editor of the dignifed Sen
ate, than any other man in all its his
tory.
president Roosevelt had Mr.. Aldrich
at the White House to-day for a lunch
con and a conference. What was said
by either of them no one knows. But it
is presumed that the President endeav-
ored to secure Mr.. AIdrich's consent to
the ratification Of the French reciproc-
ity treaty as a sort of start on the reel
procity program which the President
has very much, though not too much, at
heart. Whether or not Mr.. Aldrich has
consented will come out in the wash.
1t was intended that the Senate as a
body should have power and influence,
in certain matters, coordinate with the
President; but it was never intended
that any single Senator should have not
only a greater power than the Presi-
dent, but the power to move the en-
tire Senate"
Senator Aldrich is a Republican He
belongs to that school which the Rec
ord Herald and its able correspondent
have told us had a monopoly on the
championship of national honor" But
here Mr. Wellman informs US that this
champion Of national honor" has Elk
ed more tariff schedules to suit inter-
ested parties, defeated more legisla-
ton that some one of wealth and power
did not want, achieved a greater sue
cess as managing editor of the dignitied
Senate than any other man in all its
history"
And yet we are told that we are liv-
ing in a government in which the peo-
pie rule. We are told that the Republic
can party is not the party of a special
class, but that it is a party having an
eye single to public welfare, -Bryan's

Her Reference.

One servant girl on Long Isslnd has
reference that should readily secure
her employment if she ever decides to
leave her present position. But she
won't decide to leave, if the family she
now works for can help it.
One afternoon a few days ago when
her master was in the city and her mis-
tress was visiting neighbors, a man
called and asked for the lady of the
house. When the maid told him she
was out be seemed greatly disap,
pointed:
Its really very important" he ex.
planned. Gould you get me paper and
a pencil? I'd like to leave a note"
Certainly" said the maid. She
stepped out on the stoop and rang the
front door bell. The cook came to the
door.
Paper, an envelope and a pencil for
this gentleman" said the maid.
The man wrote his note and sealed it.
After telling the maid to be sure to see
that her mistress got it the minute she
returned he left. That evening, when
the woman of the house had read the
note and heard the circumstances under
which it was delivered, she smiled and
handed 1t to her maid.
Jane" she said, you may keep
this. 1t may do as a reference some
time"
This is what the man had written:
Dear Madam: Your maid is no
fool. New York Sun.

knots. Pale-blue, pink, yellow and black
are the cOlors of the embroidery.
Boleros of ermine with black velvet
gowns are promised for winter. Long
black velvet coats are trimmed with err
mine collar cuffs and revers, the coat
usually being lined with heavy white sat
in.
Fancy pearl buttons are losing favor,
having been long in the field, and are
rarely seen on new garments unless they
are large and are used for coat fasten-
ings. Some fur and velvet coats fasten
with frogs and loops.
Buttons are restored to an important
place on the list of trimmings. OF course,
the handsome and costly button may do
duty as an actual fastener, but quite as
likely it is useless except for its orna-
mental value. The two uses are equally
stylish.
Sapphire blue with a touch of burnt
orange is q striking combination to be
seen occasionally. Ribbons are beauti-
full in coloring and weayes. Dark Per
sian and cashmere effects are especially
fine and are used freely on black and
dark CLOTH The dark Persian colorings
make a stunning finish for black velvet.
There are a number of these fiat-crown-
ed hats, some of them having the top
covered with velvet, and beneath the
edge two rows of flowers making solid
wreaths encircling the head, one row Of
small white roses, perhaps, and below
that solid row of larger pink ones, and

tints of this very fashionable color. 1t
is not so becoming as it is novel, for there

fawn in the shade. Geraniun, Turkish
and hamingo reds are severally used,
among other colors employed, TO relieve

Scratch felt is the name given to some
of the new effects in beaver, and angora
represents ordinary felt overlaid with
raw silk yelled in maline. New garni-
lures for millinery include white lace ap

Venetian lace combined with white and
black tafeta. White or cream Irish GRO
Chef lace is another novelty that will be
used extensively on evening and theater
