candidates, or politicians" he said. Il
have retired from politics. at least for the
time being. I came on here in the in
terest of my firm in connection with bust

A. L. Higgins, of Wilmington, Del, is
registered az the Shoreham. Speaking Of
the Senatorial contest in the Blue Hen
State, Mr.. Higgins said: THE fight he
tween Add, KS and Dupont is not very
conducive to the interests of the State.
but what do these aspiring millionaires
care for the interest of the people. This
thing has been going on long enough and
the people of Delaware should call halt.
The best way out of the difficulty would
be to drop both Addicks and Dupont and
wait on dark horse or elect Kenney and
Salisbury and settle down to business
There will have to be many reforms in
the United States before we can entertain
the idea of annexation" said ". C. Van
Horne, one of the directors of the Ca
madam Pacific Railroad. who is in this
city, a guest of the Shoreham. Il think
Canada could stand a little reforming
herself. It's natural that We should
notice the faults of our neighbors more
readily than cur own. This talk of an
neXing to the United States is merely an
invention. There has never been to my
knowledge a healthy. concerted movement
in that direction in any part of the Do
minion. We are loyal to the mother

S. T. Adler, of New York, the Jewish
historian. is at the Normandie. Speaking
of the characteristics of the Jews. Mr..
Adler said: THE Jews instinct of as
similation is so strong that his very ma
ture and character are nodded according
to his surroundings. Consider, fo- in
stance. the cultured Jews of Russia. fhey
adopted Western civilization and have
nevertheless retained the traits OF the
Slav, in contradistinCi lion of the Teutons
and Anglo Saxons. They are of the Tur-
geniG type Had educational institutions
not been closed against them for one or
two centuries longer. there is no doubt
that the greater portion of the Russian
Jews would have been absorbed by the
Aryans The reason for this is obvious.
The Jew. though often original. is an ex
pert imitator To-day the Gentiles will set
an example for him. and tomorrow he
will surpass the original"
We have purchased lot of fine black
horses out West" said Captain Burdick,
of Troop A. First Cavalry. Ohio National
Guard at the Chamberlin, last night.
I'VE did this in order to make a fine ap-
pearance. as the guard of honor to the
President at his second Inauguration.
We will have ninety men In line, and the
