The North American of Philadelphia

abuse which is heaped upon President

American is not much of a republican,
but he is man who loves fair play

things. He says: @

PEELED to protest against the persistent
and insidious efforts of a clique in
Washington to persuade the people of
the United States that President Me-
kinley is at the head of an infamous
conspiracy against the liberties of a
friendly people and against the sacred
honor of the government OF the United
States.
First it is a senator, not named, who
whispers that Mckinley never approved
the Teller resolution and is inclined to
repudiate it. Then a mysterious cabinet

quoted as authority for the assertion
that the president has decided to make
some tlimsy preteXt for holding Cuba,
and that no constitution prepared by the
Cubans will be acceptable to him.
not conscious of their duplicity they
would reveal themselves boldly. Their
secrecy is presumptive evidence that
they know they lie. For they do lie
impudently. President Mckinley did
approve the Teller resolution by signing
it in 1898. In his annual message to con-
sress in 1899 he referred to the resolu-
ton and said: The pledge contained in
this resolution is of the highest honor
able obligation, and must be sacredly
kept
In his letter of acceptance in 1900 he

: The story of the murder of Oliver Dot
son, as the result of conspiracy
originated by his son in order that the
0atter might secure his own freedom, is
an astounding one. The whole plot is of
the kind rarely found outside the pages
OF fiction, and it's contamination mex
pressibly horrible. That the story should
have been revealed after all the safe
circumstance of the whole affair. The
fotal depravity of the son, Clinton Dot
Don, is the overshadowing feature of the
horrible tragedy.

Chicago wants a stadium. Chicago
may not have very clear idea as to
what stadium is, but has learned that
the little one-horse, jim-crow town of
Athens had one and enjoyed it, and that
is enough. Chicago's stadium is to cost
a quarter of million, and will be erect
ed in the new Lake Front park.

THE LION AND THE MIRROR.
TSins Of nensts Frishtened by MS
Renectien An Small Piece of
Glass IN Boys Hands.

Possibly a lions wife would appre.
ciate a looking glass, but a small mir,
ror in the hands Of e small boy so
frightened and excited Big Ben, the
largest lion in the Philadelphia ZOO,
that, says the Press, the keepers
feared he would do violence to him
self.
Ben had been in an angry mood all
day. The presence of the small boy
was particularly distasteful to him,
and the lion ragged and stormed as only
a big lion can. The lad waited until
the TRADE was over, and chen drew a
hand mirror fromcunder his coat and
held IL directly in front Of Ben.
The lion looked. Then he jumped
for the intruder that dared face him
in such a fashion, but brought up
against the bars with force enough to
throw him to the floor. Surprised at
the appearance of the lion in the glass
he filed the house with his roars. The
keepers ran to the cage and endeav.
ored to quiet him, but he continued
the uproar until exhausted.
In the meantime the adventurous
youth had disappeared and was dis
covered in front of the wolves cage
trying to excite them. He was led
from the garden and warned to keeI
away.
About a year ago a serious disturb
ance at the zoo was due to the flash.

exception Of one or two Of the widest
were kept in one cage
A visitor held mirror in front oi
them one afternoon, and the beasts
were thrown into panic. They fought
and dashed at the bars with such VIC
lence that it was feared several would
die as a result of their frantic strug
giles. 1t required the efforts of all the
keepers for several hours before they
could be quieted.

chief Grnces Are TO he Attentive and
Appear Wen When In
Society.

The casual everyday accomplish
ments of a man have much to do
with women's liking; and first of all
comes savior faire, says a writer in
the Cosmopolitan. He may or may
not be what is rather vulgarly de-
scribed as "a society man." yet he
must understand and be familiar
with the myriad little usages that
form society's unwritten law. To be
at ease in any set, to be equal to
emergencies, to carry off an awkward
situation with urbanity and perfect
elf-possession--thi faculty wins un-
stinted admiration from a woman.
And then there are the things that
go with this knowledge of the prop
er thing to do, the little courtesies,
the delicate and taetful attentions
that mean anything and nothing, the
ability to order a dinner, properly, to
make things go off smoothly, to car
ry out a plan without blunder or a
jar, the carriage readysat the proper
moment, the flowers specially ar
ranged, the right seats at the the
ater, everything foreseens every pos
sible occurrence provided for, every
want anticipated, every contretemps
avoided.
These are all unimportant in them
selves, yet in the mass they never
fail to create strong impression in
woman for woman hates
blunders and will trust man in
great things if she sees that he has
genius for makingl small things go
off well.

The law making an appropriation
for roads on state lands should be
amended so as TO allow the money to
be used on any travelled road in the
township and should be expended
under the direction of the state
commission. This would really
benefit the people and be some com.
pensation for the loss of taxes now
sustained. There is little use OF
roads where people have no occasion
to drive unless, indeed, the state
means to make a park of its posses
sions.

the roads ia the state lands put in

not used once a year for Legitimate
purposes. Occasionally a candidate
