That Entail "Therefore."

Sergt. Kelly of the Irish bar, in the
early years of the nineteenth century,
used to indulge in picturesque elo-
quence, racy of the soil, says the Green
Bag, but, unfortunately, he would
sometimes forget the line of argument,
and would always fall back on the
word therefore" which generally led
his mind back to what he had intended
saying. Sometimes, however, the eff
feet was almost disastrous. One time
he had been complimenting the jury,
assuring them that they were men of
extraordinary intelligence, and then
branched off into statement of his
case. With wave of his hand and a
smile on his face he proceeded:
This is so clear a case, gentlemen,
that am convinced you felt 1t so the
very moment 1 stated it. 1 should pay
men of intelligence a poor compliment
to dwell on 1t for minute, therefore,
L shall proceed to explain it to you as
infinitely as possible

rHr PRESIDENTS CONDITION.

There appears to be a hopeful tone
in the bulletins from the sick room
i of the President. It is to be expected,
of course, that the physicians and
those friends of the President who are
nearest to him will encourage a hope
| full feeling in respect to his condition
as long as there is basis for hope,
but as far as can be gathered from
the reports given out for publication
there is reason to think the President
will recover.
OF course, he is in very great dan
ger. Complications may occur at any
hour that will, have a fatal result, bu.
the signs of them have not yet ap.
peared, or had not at midnight last
night The bulletins last evening were
more favorable than those in the af-
ternoon. The Presidents pulse was less
rapid, and there was a slight rise in
his temperature. 1t is said that the
very high pulse unaccompanied by a
oorrespondingly high temperature was
the cause of some uneasiness.
The missing bullet has not been To-
Gated yet. An attempt to locate II is
to be made this morning with an X
ray apparatus The men of science are
supposed to know what is best to be
done. and doubtless it is their idea that
the bullet should be found and remov-
ed. There are those, however, who are
of the opinion that in cases in which
the bullet does not appear TO be doing
any harm, it is better to let it alone.
A patients life is sometimes sacrificed
by too much cutting and probing.
Unless the hurt from which the
President suffers is much more serious
than it is believed to be, his chances
for recovering are good. He is not an
old man yet and he has remarkably
strong constitution. He is a temperate
msn-temperate in both eating and
drinking. In fact, If we are not mistak-
en-, he does not drink either wine.
whisky or beer. He has been a very
healthy man and the danger of serious
complications are much less therefore
than it would otherwise be.
The whole country is waiting anx-
icusly for the sick room bulletins, hop
ing that each one will show that the
Presidents condition is improving. In
the meantime the feeling against the
assassin, and anarchists generally, is
becoming more bitter. The resolutions
adopted at the mass meeting at Macon
last night is an illustration of the SEN
timent that is cropping out all over the
country.

Capt. Barr of the Columbia is known
as one Of the most aggressive sailing
masters in the business. He takes ev-
erything that he can get in jockeying
for the start, and puts his competitor
to disadvantage whenever he can le-
ultimately. Sometimes, indeed, he
pushes legitimacy to the limit and
leaves himself open to the charge OF
technical unfairness. However. the
Morgans. who own the boat, uphold
him in his dashing and close maneu-
vering. Upton has pair of smart
sea jockeys aboard his boat, and the
Columbia people say Barr has got to
be as good as the Englishmen at THEN
own game. =

Military Orfhography.

A British soldier, who is at this mo-
ment serving in South Africa, recent
ly sent a letter to the war Office con-
tanning a word that baff1ed the mag
ination of everyN clerk and official to
whom the puzzleswas submitted, says
the London King. The mysterious
word was spelled "yfe." 1t was re-
peated several times, and seemed, in
deed, to be the main subject of his
communication. At length 1t occurred
to one of the clerks to consult the
hall porter-a grizzled veteran quite
unhampered by board school accom-
plishments.
Can you tell us the meaning of this
word, Simpson," asked the brilliant
clerk.
II should think I could" replied the
veteran, with mild contempt. "Y-f-e
spells wife, of course. What else could
it spell, sir?"

Gen. A. S. Burt, of the regular army,
who has just arrived in this country
from the Philippines, says he does not
expect to live to see the end of the
war in the islands; not that he contem-
plates early death, since he is hale and
hearty, but he says it is destined to be
long war. There are thousands OF
Filipinos, he says, who would prefer
the life of bandits and guerillas to q
life of industry and labor. Many OF
them have gone into the mountains

was driven from this country to be-
come an English citizen by certain of
the New York newspapers. ut is the
cruelest. calumny," said Mr.. Aston to
a London correspondent, "to state that
l sought citizenship in England be-
cause lost my love for the country of
my birth. I emphatically repeat that
l was driven to do so. by persistent
onslaught of venomous treatment on
the part of certain American newspa-
pers. Otherwise 1 would have been
heart and soul an American, in life and
DEATH" Mr.. Aston must be a little
thin-skinned. No man has ever been
attacked more savagely in the news
papers than Grover Cleveland, Mark
Hanna John D.. Rockefeller and the
late Coils P. Huntington, yet nobody
ever heard of either of them even
thinking of expatriating himself to es-
cape his critics.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Money in the Federal treasury
is dead money. In so far as the
amount exceeds the needs of the gov
eminent it creates unnecessary strin-
gency in the money market. The
growing surplus should serve to ad-
monish Congress of the necessity of
further tax reduction. An overfull
treasury has the double disadvantage
of obstructing business operations and
at the same time encouraging wasteful
expenditures"
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis
(Dem. } says: Dupont Query, candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Georgia, is an anti-rail-
road man. and says he wants laws
passed preventing the dominating of
state politics and state government by
railroads This kind of stuff was
preached in Florida for years, and died
an ignominious death, and the same
thing will probably happen in Geor-
gia. 1t has proven a poor ladder on
which to climb to fame"
The Nashville (Tenn.) American
(Dem.) says: 1.-THE South has soil, it
has climate, it has fuel, it has water.
The sun never shone upon fairer
empire. Now fully recovered from
the blight of war, its advancement, it's
progress and its possibilities are among
the marvels of the age, and are en-
gaging the attention of the CONNER
cial world"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says; IF Mr.. Bryan isn't
careful, he will be denounced as a plu-
tocrat. He has just bought Wash
ington paper for five dollars"

HARRISON is DEAD.
EX-PRESIDENT EXPIRES FROM
ATTACK OF PNEUMONIA,
Fatal Illness Had Its Inception in a
Cold Which Developed Into Grip,
Then Into Pneumonia = Brief Life
Story of the lannon's Statesman.

Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third Pres
ident of the United States, died at his
home, 1914 North Delaware street. In
dianapolis, at 4 ia p. II. ON Wednesday.
The ex-Presdent had been unconscious
since dawn, recognizing no one about his
bedside, uttering no coherent word except
a feeble demand for water. His wife,
who had been by his side night and day,
could only press his hand without OBJ
tanning the sympathetic word or smile.
Death was quiet and painless.
Gen Harrison's illness had its incep-
ton in cold he contracted about March
and which developed into a serious at
tack of the grip. Although he placed
himself under the care of a physician i'm
mediately. the ailment did not yield to
treatment readily, and in a few days he
was stricken with pneumonia. For time
it was impossible to learn Gen. HaIri-
sons true condition, Mrs. Harrison nav
ing refused to allow the physicians to
discuss the case. After the condition be-
came critical, however, the doctors were
authorized to keep the public informed
by means OF bulletins.
At o'clock Tuesday morning the turn
for the worse came. At that hour the
pain from his afflicted lung made him
restless and he began to toss nervously
upon his bed. His respiration grew faint
er, his pulse increased and the general
symptoms became so alarming that for a
time dissolution was expected momentar-
lily. But the patient fought it off At 5
o'clock there seemed TO be some encour-
agement in his condition, although his
temperature was 1914. DIR. Jameson
left the house az 4 o'clock for period Of
rest and returned two hours later to find
Gen. Harrison more uncomfortable and
