 According to the reasoning and conclusions of the recent grand jury, in reference to the 400-yard limit law, the houses under the ban of the law should be moved still "closer 1T" judging from the effects of Thursday nights fracas. If they could be To- cated on the plaza they would be under still closer police surveillance.
 Arkansas is somewhat of a mining state, more than is generally known to the public. Reports from the United States land office at Harrison, in that state, shows that 425 appli- cations for mining patents have been filed there this year. The applica- tions embrace about $500 acres. The business came from Boone, Marion, Searcy, Newton and Baxter counties.
 It was quite in accordance with the "peace at any price" tactics of Mir. Richardson that he should have con trlved to have all the resolutions pre- sented at the democratic caucus re- ferred to a committee, where they will probably be allowed to "die." This, of course, leaves the democratic minority without any defined policy to work on but it prevented TOW.
 Secretary Root contends that the same reasons which lead the United States to relieve Cuba from Spanish oppression should lead to legislation which will insure her commercial prosperity. There is reason in the argument. Cuba is not "a foreign country" in the ordinary sense of the term and legislation looking to her prosperity can in no way be con strued as a deviation from the pro tective policy.
 The president has given the United States authorities emphatic instruc- tions not to meddle with Cuban poli ties. He probably regards the Ameri can brand quite dangerous enough to the civic virtue of the ordinary office holder.
 MT. Albert Sidney Burleson, demo- cratic representative from Texas, de- scribes his party as ''an aggregation of discordant factions, some of them standing for every economic and gov ernmental fallacy conceived by dis eased minds" Thanks to Mir. Burle- son for saying an undisputed thing in such brutal way.
 Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and her husband, have kissed and made up again and now eat at the same table and have been seen walking to- gether since their recent quarrel. The relations between Prince Henry and the members of the court are, how ever, very strained. The former cor diality has been replaced by an atti- tude of frigid politeness on the part of the prince consort, and apparently the gentlemen of the court are equally indisposed to gloss over recent occur rences.
 Prince Henry, husband of Queen Wilhelmina, fought a duel recently with one of the queens aidde-camps. While drunk at dinner the prince of fended his wife and was reproved by her majesty's officer, at which Henry took offense and the duel followed. He wounded the aid-de-camp and the same incident gave rise to another duel between Prince Henry and a gentleman of the court. The latter was slightly wounded.
 Geo. H. Ketchum, owner of the famous horse, King Cresceus, en- gagged in the horse racing business through force of circumstances rather than from choice. He controls the largest and most successful places of amusement at Toledo, Columbus, Dayton and Indianapolis. While an innate lover of the horse from boy hood, his initiation into the racing game as a trainer and driver was more from the compulsion of ill health requiring an out door life, than from a special desire for the work itself. As he once laughingly remarked: q have one worlds record on the trot- ting track that I feel satisfied will never be equaled. My family physi- clan when he told me to seek an out door life, also informed me that I might as well have a good time, as my stay here was limited, as I had consumption. Seven years afterward that same physician told me I had the gout. I claim that from con sumption to gout in seven years is a worlds record hard to beat"
