The President and His Wife.

There is general regret that the
President has been compelled to
abandon the rest of his projected tour;
but that regret is swallowed up in the
sympathy of the nation for Mr.. and
Mrs. Mckinley as husband and wife.
His devotion to her has always been
one of the most beautiful expressions
of his kindly nature; and every one
will agree that his first duty is at her
bedside.
The people of the United States like
their President to be n great man, but
they like still better to have him Il
good man and good husband. From
all parts of the country come tokens
of universal and really heartfelt sym
pathy with him and with her in their
afiiiction, and the prayer of all the
people is that her life may be spared

AFAMous OLD HOUSE

Tho house OF Walter Baker & Co.,
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was estab-
lished one hundred and twenty-one
years ago Q7S0) on the Neponset river
in the old town of Dorchester, a suburb
of Boston. From the little wooden
mill, "by the rude bridge that arched
the food" where the enterprise was
first started, there has grown up the
largest Industrial establishment of the
kind In the world. 1t might be said
that, while other manufacturers come
and go, Walter Baker & Co., so on for
ever.
What is the secret of their great sue
cess? 1t is very simple one. They
have won and held the confidence Of
the great and constantly increasing
body of consumers by always main
tanning the highest standard in the
quality of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles of good quality can be put
upon the market They welcome hon
est competition; but they feel justified
In denouncing in the strongest terms
the fraudulent methods by which in
ferior preparations are palmed of on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting the genuine articles.

goods, not alone for the reason that,
in the long run, 1t doesn't pay to do it.

will not permit them to aid in the sale

The New Star of Texa.

We cheerfully provide lot of space
for the illumination of the Hon. Dud-
Icy G.. Wooten of Texas against the
New York merchants and capitalists
who have been visiting his state at the
invitation of Governor Sayers. The
letter is long, but the Hon. Dudley
was full to oyerflowing
Mr.. WooteR is the author of the
Texas antitrust law. He spoke at the
celebrated trust conference at Chica-
20 two years ago, and he will lead the
delegation from his state to the ma
tional conference on taxation which
is to be held in Buffalo later in the
present month. We hereby match him
TO talk against Niagara Falls from
May 23rd to June 23rd, inclusive, If
the Falls are willing.
This stirring manifesto by the in
flexible, unterrified, inextinguishable
Dudley Wooten shows that not all of
the 26T,243 Bryanite Democrats who
stood firm last year for the repression
of corporate activity according to
| modern metnOuS nave now taken to
organizing trusts, or boring for OIL or
accommodating the sinful proceeds of
general prosperity. No matter what
has become of Roger q. Mills of Cor
sicana, no matter how far the mighty
| Hogg has fallen, the Hon. Dudley G..
| Wooten remains steadfast: and in
view of the otherwise pleasant cir
cumstances attending the recent ex-
cursion of the New Workers through
the Lone Star State his pr9tracted cry
of defiance and protest will have for
them peculiar psychologist interest.
| We understand that Mr.. Wooten
could be prevailed upon to become the
neyer-surrender candidate for some
public office within the gift of his fel-
low citizens; say that of representative
in the Fifty eighth Congress from the

The Contest in Hawaii.

a sharp contest is on in Hawaii be
tween the members of the territorial
Legislature and the governor who is
appointed by the President. The Leg
islature is in control of the native
born Hawaiians, the same party that
elected Delegate Wilcox to Congress,
while the governor is the celebrated
ex-President Dole, chief of the indie
pendent Hawaiian republic.
Under the circumstances it is not
surprising that difficulties should have
arisen. According to the governor,
the Legislature seems to have patent
ed its actions after some of the fusion
assemblies of the western states and
to have been endeayoring to
Work the office all the day
For everything that's in it.
On the other hand, according to the
Legislature, the governor is a meddle-
some old body whose chief diligence
consists in getting in the way of the
Legislature.
The time of the Legislature having
expired by Limitation, the governor re-
fused to call an extra session, accom-
panying his refusal with some rather
tropical remarks in regard TO legisla-
tive bribery. And now the Legislature
has appealed to Washington to remove
the governor and TO place in office one
who will be more subservient to its
demands.
1t will doubtless occur to the aver
age American that Governor Dole is
pretty good man for the place. The
reason why Hawaii is territory and
not a state is brought out very prom
inently in the record of this Legisla-
ture, and Governor Dole is occupyi,A

President because he is just the man

Governor Dole is right and the Leg
slature is wrong, and we hope he will
get all the sympathy he deserves from

Raising Nlolets.

Many worn-out farms in Virginia
have of late been utilized for the grow
ing of violets. The industry is spread
ing rapidly, and some of the most sue
cessful growers are women. They
employ small negro boys to carry on
the work, which is not laborious. This
greater part of the yield is taken by
Philadelphia dealers. The great vio-
let growing center, however, according
to DR.. B. T. Galloway of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is Poughkeepsie.
New York. All violets from this dis
trict find a ready market in New
York city, the flowers generally bring
ing the raisers not less than a cent
each. The average yield of single
plant is fifty flowers year, and with
good care hundred may be obtained.
In the Virginia violet farms, after the
young off-shoots have been trans
planted into open frames. rolling wood
en- screens are used on the top of the
frames to regulate the amount of sun
shine which shall be admitted to the
plants.-Youth's Companions.

MayoA Wricht,s Good Start.

Mayor Wright promised the citizens
of Denver a business administration.
and he has already given visible evil
dences of the fact that he intends to
keep his word. During the few weeks
since Democracy let go its grasp on
the city machinery there has been
more departmental activity manifest
ocratic office-holding.
The mayor has been especially active
in getting the best work out of the
street cleaning department and in az
tending to needed street. repairs.
Downtown alleys have been repaved
and cutters have been repaired. All
this has been done without any fuss
and feathers. but the work has prog
ressed so swiftly as to astonish cit
liens who had become used to DEM
ocratic Incidence. The street sweep
ing has been done more thoroughly
than ever before, and the mayors plan
for flushing the downtown streets oc-
casionally will soon be carried out.
Inc mayor uOeS not lnteHu TO COLI
fine his work of improvement to the
streets alone, but he has recognized
that this is the most important work
of the spring season. He will remove
all danger of disease that lurked in
filthy apd ill-paved alleys, and that
threatened the downtown district ow-
ing TO cutters that We're in bad condi-
tion. AS n result, Denver will be in
splendid shape to more than equal its
health record during the hot summer
months.
1t is long since n city administration
has set to work so actively to make
good its campaign pledges, and the
change is so agreeable that citizens,
without regard to party affiliations,
stand ready to applaud. The good
work of the last few weeks is the best
evidence that Denver did well in put

How an Apache chief Selected warrios
for "a Hard Campaign.
In the early days of Union Pacific
railroading, Victoria, Mana and the
present Geronimo. the three chiefs OF
the Arizona Apaches. with 100 Of the
best bucks, came through to Green
River, Wyo. They had heard OF the
heap wagon and no boss" and had
come to stop the train. They made
lasso of rawhide and fifty men on each
side held on to the rope as the freight
came down the Wasatch divide. The
engine driver saw, when several
miles away, what the Indians were up
to. SO he whistled off brakes" and
opening his throttle let her loose. The
cowcatcher struck the rope and hurled
the Indians in all directions. literally
tearing them to pieces, headless, arm
less and legless. The three chiefs went
south to their cactus plants much
crestfallen. Before they selected these
men the old Chief Victoria had them
All eat piece of rock salt about as big
as pecan, run swiftly about 100
yards, sit down on a rock or log and
cross their legs. Then he watched the
vibration of the feet which were cross

longest strokes he declined to accept
for severe duty or dangerous trip,
or for one that was at all hazardous.
But he accepted the feet which vibrat-
