mittee of Fifteen

New York, June THE World says:
Andrew Carnegie has made a large gift
to the committee of Is to aid in carrying
on its work. His check was received
by the committee just before he sailed
for Europe No announcement was
made of the fact, it being the policy of
the body not to make public the names
of it's supporters. There are two re-
ports in circulation regarding the
amount Of Mr.. Carnegie's gift, one plac-
ing it at $4,000 and the other at $1,000.
The latter is believed to be the correct
amount. Mr.. Carnegie did not attend
the meeting at which the committee
was appointed and has never expressed
his views in public in regard to its

SHE RUNS AWAY.
Ten Year Old Lille Murphy is Un-
manageable.

4en year Old Lille Murphy ia Un-
manageable.
Ten year old Lille Murphy was
brought to Topeka Thursday and
placed in the charge of the Children's
Home society. The little girls home
was Fort Scott, and that is the place
where her parents live. Though young,
the little girl is wayward, and delights
more in running about the streets than
in going to school or staying peacefully
at home. She was in charge of the To-
cal agent of the society at Fort Scott,
and was placed in several different
homes. but she ran away from each,
and came back to the city.
The officers of the Children's Home
society think that by placing her on a
farm some distance from any town. her
habit of running away win be checked.

The Presidents,

The North has had sixteen pres: dsnts
sDd the South nine. The executive
elise has been occupied by northern
men few days lsss than sjxty-three
yesra, and by southern men few dsys
ever ffty-shrae years. This is based
on the supposition that Roosevelt will
6il ous his present teIm. Only two OF
the southern states have furnished pre-.
sidenss-Virginia and Tennessee. Of
the ncrshsrn presidents, three have
come from the New England States,
six from the Middle States and seven
from whas is now called the Middle
West. No president has ever been
elected from the territory west Of the
Mississippi river, and only two men have
been nominated by the great polite al
parties from that territory-Fremo1t
from Missouri by the republicans in
1856, and Bryan Of Nebraska by the
democrats in 1895 snd 1900. Divided
politically, nine democrats, two fede2-
lists, four wings and eight republicans
have occupied the presidential Office.
In the above l do not include Washing
ton, the first p1eEident. 1t is unjust
to assign the first and only real non
partisan president Of the country to
any political party.-GalVeston Daily
