SEEK THE
Foraker and Fairbanks Boom. Are
Launched by Their Friends.

~ tx
Washington special:
The decision of the United States SUI
preme Court upholding the position of
the administration in its treatment of
the islands acquired in the war with
Spain, has caused two presidential booms
to be launched. Republican leaders re-
gard the plI form of their party for 1904
as practically settled by tine action of
the Supreme Court. AS a result Senator
Foraker, author Of the Porto Rico bill,
is announced as Il candidate. To offset
this. Col. New of Indianapolis springs
Senator Fairbanks. Theodore Roosevelt,
in New York, is watching with jealous
sye the preparations of his rivals to wrest
from him the honor which he was given
cause last year to regard as practically
certain.
Friends of Ohio's senior Senator have
taken immediate advantage of the promi-
nence into which his name has been
brought by the formal opinions of the
justices of the highest tribunal in the
land. Before there has been time to di-
gest the judicial. opinions in the insular
cases some Of the practical politicians
point out that the Presidents nave been
made in the past by the circumstances
81 a name identified with some public
measure. Mckinley is cited as the most
recent instance. The Mckinley tariff
act, they declare, installed Mckinley in
the White House. The Foraker tariff
act, they say, may do as much for anotll-
err man.
Harry S. New, Republican National
Committeeman from Indiana, and < pow
err in Republican politics in that State,
is authority for the statement that In
diana will stand solidly behind it's favor
lite son, Senator Fairbanks, for the Re
publican nomination as President in 1904.
THE whole State of Indiana will be back
of Senator Fairbanks at the next ma
tional convention" he said. with his
nomination Indiana would be assured to
the Republican party. At present, at
least, he is the logical candidate for the
party"
Theodore Roosevelt realizes that unless
his campaign for the honor he covets is
pushed along with vigor the advantage
he gained over his rivals in the glory he
acquired as a Rough Rider will be lost.
His preparations are being made. there
fore, to fight during the three years in
tervening before the next convention with
characteristic vigor to keep his name be-
fore the public. He will also begin Mt
once to organize his forces to work quiet
~ in his interest among the leaders Of
the party,

ed himself of deliberately falsifying his
marriage vows and that his self-styled
defense was an exploitation Of his views
upon the marriage question, which are
"abhorrent to enlightened Christian SEN
timent."
Next to the verdict, the most interesting
feature of the trial was a lengthy COM
munication from Heron accepting in ad-
vance the decision OF the council. In this
letter he sought to justify on theoretical
grounds the rectitude of his conduct. He
announced that henceforth his efforts
would be devoted to 1.-THE Socialistic
revolution" The letter inveighed against
the conventionalities which trammcl
mems actions to-day, and declared that
the writer's life was n of truth and
honesty as against the slavish supersti-
tions which guided the course of his ac-
cusers.
1t was proved to the satisfaction of
the council that Mrs. Heron did not in
itiate the divorce proceedings. Tortured
by years of fragrant and studied neglect,
herself and her children daily insulted by
the patronage and presence Of the woman
who had led Heron away from his FAM
lily, the patient wife, yet hoping that her
supreme devotion and unfaltering loyalty
would win him back, refused to resort to
the divorce courts. Woman teachers at
Grinnell College who were classmates of
Mary Eberhart in the old days at Ripon,
Wis, when George Heron, then a stu
dent, wooed and won her. told the council
that the divorce proceedings, while tech
nically coming from the wife, were
prompted, urged and ever forced by Prof.
Heron.

NJ A. HERNs DEAD.
Noted Actor Passes Away After Two
Monthss IlIresu.

Months, illness.
James a. Herne, the actor and play
wright, died Sunday afternoon at his
New York home. The cause of death
was pneumonia. He had heen ill about
two months, and was thought to be on
the way toward recovery when Il relapse
came.
1t was while playing in Sag Harbor'
In Chicago that MIR. Herne was taken ill.
His physicians said he had an attack of
grip and they advised complete rest. and
his return to his home in New York.
When he arrived there pneumonia devcl-
oped and n few weeks ago his friends
thought the end was near. He rallied,
however. and it was hoped that his vigor.
Gus constitution would pull him through.
But when the relapse came it found him
weak and he sank rapidly.
MIR. Hcrne had a beautiful home in
New York City, and was accounted
wealthy. The body will be cremated.
James y. Herne was born at West
Troy, n. v, in 1910. He received little
education in early life, being largely self.

taught. He early started out to carr his
wv living. He was a clerk in a grocery
store when an actor of the day, Joe
Webb, supported by a small company and
two st. Bernard dogs, came to West
Troy to play The Dog of Montargis."
The actor who should have played the
part of Macaire failed to appear. Herne
learned of the need of the manager for
an actor and volunteered. He not only
did not break down, but went through
the small role so creditably that he was
engaged to continue in it. That was his
beginning.
Herne was in San Francisco in the late
'7O's and wanted a play for himself, but
could not get one. David Belasco sug-
gested that he write it himself. With
Belasco's aid Hearts of Oak" was writ
ten. Herne's next play was Shore
Acres" 1t was written in 1891 and be-
came remarkably successful. Other suc-
cessful plays by him We're Sag Harbor'
and Griffith Davenport"

Its accomplishments. The ''parade to
Pretoria has proven a costly venture,
and though the Transvaal capital was

guerilla tactics employed by the burgh-
ers, the matchless ability of Gen. De
Wet and the grim resolve of the inhabit-
ants to fight to the death for their indie
pendence have prolonged the struggle be-
yond all %preconceived ideas. And with

HEADQUARTERS FOR ICE.
Norway Is the Source of Supply for the Whole ol
 Europe,

Few perhaps among the tourists who visit Norway for the pleasures of it's scenery are aware that here they are at the headquarters of Eu- ropes ice supply. To the mountain lakes of that country the continent looks for it's ice. The ice is of the finest quality, for the lakes are of crystal-clear water, high up in the mountains, and are surrounded by very tall pines. The ice supply is con- trolled by syndicates, says Youths Companion.
 After having been cut into great squares by blows, the blocks of ice are sent down the mountainside on slides. On the way they acquire amaz- ing velocity, and plunge into an in- closed pond beyond which are the ice ships awaiting their frozen cargo.
 It sometimes happens that through delay in the starting of the vessels, or the cutting of unusual quantities from the lakes to supply exception al demands, the supply runs short. Then it is that ice becomes dear. and even in winter-time is luxury that must be indulged in sparingly. But ice is used in Europe far less com monly than in America, and a de- fcient supply does not occasion the sense of loss that it would in this country.

appear from the market. This has proved true. says a well posted author ity. The electric elevated railroad has been introduced since that time, and the automobile, both doing much of the work that used to be done by horses. Yet the price of horses is' higher now than it was ten years ago, because only good ones are in demand and there are not enough of high grade offered for sale.
 The plug" that used to sell for $2s, has largely disappeared from the mar ket, and with it has gone the cruelty of drivers. A mans pocketbook usual ly appeals to him more strongly than humane society, and when he has paid $15O for horse he has personali interest in seeing that it is not abused.

SPINSTERS TAKING TO BIRDS
Parrots Not In Favor Aay More, Psshaps, Owing to the Comic
 Papers.

The arrest of a woman shoplifter who had stolen a canary and whose theft was revealed because the bird sang when she opened her bag, re- minded the bird store man the other lay that spinsters and bachelor wom- an were taking to canaries more than hey used to, says New York ex- change.
 Its queer thing" said the bird store man, "but canaries are driving he parrots out of business as com paniOns for lonely women. I don't un- 1erstand it any more than you do, unless it's because the comic papers have made the possession of parrot oy woman peculiarly characteristic of an old maid. But it is a fact that the old maids aren't buying parrots any more and are buying canaries.
 "A canary's the pleasantest kind of bird to have around the house, anyway, but it's hard on the parrot to be de- serted in this way. There's one good quality about a parrot. It takes few likings, but it is usually loyal to the few it does take to, even if it is dis agreeable to outsiders"
 Department stores are selling as many canaries as the bird stores, ac- cording to the bird store man, and the bird trade isn't what it used to be in New York. If the big stores keep on selling birds, he told the reporter, there won't be any bird stores left soon, which he thought would be a pity.

MORAL TRUTHS FROM MIR. wU
The Chinsse Minister at Washington and . BOastful Re-
 porter.

This is an old story of the Chinese minister, Wu Ting-fang, in a new form. A reporter had been commis- stoned by his newspaper to interview MT. Wu. Following his usual artless Chinese custom, Mir. Wu asked the reporter how much salary he re- .eived. says the Youths Companion.
 "One hundred and fifty dollars a week." he answered.
 The familiar comment was at once forthcoming:
 Ut is too much. It is altogether too much. You are not worth more than s25 a week."
 Some time afterward, while talk ing with other newspaper men, the minister learned that the reporter has deceived him, and that instead of receiving $50 week he was paid not more than $60. Accordingly the next time he called at the Chinese legation in search of information MT. Wu thus sharply dismissed him:
 "You lied to me about your salary. If you will lie about such thing as that you will lie about anything. l do not trust you. I have nothing to say. I want to revise my former es- innate of your value. Instead of be- ing worth $25 a week, you are not worth anything, sir"

LESSON WAS NOT NEEDED.
An Incident in Stock SDeculatlA9
 Flurry That Henry Clsws
 Does Not Tell,

Henry Clews, the New York stock broker, is a very kindly man and de- lights in doing good. Naturally he figured to some extent in the recent Wall street operations, and a story is told of him that he has vainly tried to sidetrack, says a New York exchange.
 An army officer stationed in the Philippines has been sending home his salary for his wife to save. She sought to add to it by taking flyer in Wall street. She had invested every dollar of her husbands savings, and in the recent panic all were swept away. She appealed to Henry Clews, with whose firm she had dealt.
 "If I show you the way to get your money back, will you promise me that you will not speculate again?" asked the broker.
 "Indeed I will," tearfully assented the woman.
 "Well, here's your money; now keep out of the market"
 Clews said afterward that he had not invested the money.
 A broker in the Waldorf-Astoria cafe who listened to the story laughed.
 "Well, that's one on Clews. That. woman brought the money right to my office and asked me to buy Della ware & Hudson for it. did so, and she made $5,400."
