YMpORTaNT IF TRUE

1 Brother Bryan's assumption that he is still "the main guy in the Demo- cratic circus hasn't pleased all the Democrats, and some of them are, it appears, actually resenting 1t. The re- port comes from Washington that l.. | A. Rosing, who has been for many years chairman of the Democratic State committee of Minnesota, has recently completed tour of political inquiry through the close States of the East, going as far as New York. He returns convinced that Mayor Taggart of In dianapols will be selected to succeed Senator Jones of Arkansas as chair man of the national committee, and he predicts that the committee will soon be called in session to survey the na- tiunal field. Mr Rosing says that w. J. Bryan is "out of it. and that the policy of the Democratic party will henceforth be towards conservatism, and at the same time for progressive American principles. As to distinct is- sues he says it is too early to predict more than that there will be a depart ure from the Bryan issues.
 The Democratic party may have more difficulty in leaving Brother Bry- an than MT Rosing thinks it will. He is hard man to leave. But there is no doubt that the party must be con- servative and yet progressive if it wants to progress.

PARIS BUYS OUR HATS.

shirtwaist Hats are Exported to the Millinery Headquarters of the World.
 Paris is buying American hats! There have been other triunphs fol
 American trade, but this rather cans them all It doesn't seem half so re-
 markable to send locomotives to the ends of the earth as to send millinery to the French.
 Only one firm of American dealers
 has invaded Europe with line of trimmed hats for women, but this firm Is conuuering right and left. This summer it sent over dozens or the so- called tailor made, or shirt waist. hats. These are essentially American. Nt th., ing like them had ever been introduced abroad
 Every American woman who has travelled in Europe knows how hard it Is to find the kind of hat which in this country is regarded as indispensable. Every woman in New York who makes any pretense to being well dressed, and two-thir6s of those who Gon are al ways equipped with at least one hat of certain simplicity, but with an air to it which marks it the proper thing for walking or travelling. It is the stand by for the whole season. When in doubt about what to wear, that lIat ;s q trump and women play it.
 Rut darkest Africa is scarcely less productive of hats of that sort than Paris is. On the Rue de la Paix such hats occasionally happen. The prices are enough to give anybody apoplexy, Apparently only q few trimmers ever have that particular kind of inspira- tion. When they do the hat Is regarded as creation of genius and genius pays in Paris.

 But this time it is Henry who Gccs the brilliant thought act. He will go to the minister, tell him the joint lesire of Ellen and himself, and tender him the jar of butter in lieu of q wedding fee. The minister's house was soon reached and the proposition hopefully submit ted. The reverend gentleman looked at Henry and looked at Ellen and looked at the butter, While two hearts Hut tered and palpitated the minister tast" ed the butter. Then he opinad that FL len was too young to wed.
 It was a sad couple that turned their backs on Binghamton and headed for Rhine Creek. Ellen has returned to her fathers house and Henry is doing the chores as usual And both are wondering what was the matter with the butter.-Utica Observer.

ELLEN WAS TOO YOUNG.

The Tub of Butter Wasn't, Hence Two | Loving Hearts Still Beat Apart.
 Just because jar of butter was not
 up to the grade that those asked to purchase it felt they must insist on two
 loving hearts have been rudely thrust
 asunder, and there are two large l chunks of woe down in the southern part of the state. The scene of this | oleaginous tragedy is the little hamlet
 of Rhine Creek, nor far from Binham- l ton. The principals are Henry Davis | and Helen Johnson. These two live on adjoining farms. Some time ago Hen ry made the discovery that Ellen was
 about the best ever, and the only one to cheer the declining years of his life (Henry is "in his twenties," as the
 neighbors would put iD, and resolved that he and Ellen must wed. About the same time Ellen woke up to the
 warm fact that Henry was it. When
 matters had progressed thus far the
 plot began to reveal itself.
 At this point group of villains, both
 he villains and she villains, came on to
 the stage from both sides and began to
 interfere with the smooth progress of
 loves young dream by means of jeers
 and threats. The said villains were
 impersonated by the parents possessed respectively by Henry and Ellen.
 With much unnecessary harshness and with cruel disregard of the tender feel ings of Henry and Ellen they declared in chorus that this must not be, and that all was over between them Red fire and q slow curtain on the tableau of Henry and Ellen roughly torn from each others arms by their respective sets Of parents Ellen weeping and Henry suHsng sotto voce. So ends the first act of the tragedy.
 The second act opens with Ellen un- der close parental surveillance and Henry, the faithful lover, stealing sur reptitious interviews with his sweet heart. With appropriate gestures and to low. trembling music. the absent villains arc defsd and an elopcment de- cided upon to take place IS soon as sufficient funds can be raised to pay the minister's fec. About this time El- len is nearly prostrated with sudden thought 1t is not the fact that she hos q thought nor yet that it was sud- den, hat upset Ellen: she has had thoughts before and some of them have been sudden. But the briiliancy of the present ccrcbration almost pros trates her. Out in tha miikroom there is a jar of butter made by her own fair hands. It is hers by every right, and they vii! take it to the city, sell it and with the proceeds thereof start the merry marriage bells a-ringing
 The third act opens in Binghamton. Henry and Ellen have come to town with their jar of butter in wagon I loaned by a sympathetic neighbor. l They make the rounds of the various 1 grocery stores. not forgetting the deii- l cateSscn shops and the fishmongers. i But such a slack demand for butter at l anything like living-to say nothing Of l arrying.-plices was never known be- i ore. Gloom in thick layers began to 1 descent on their hitherto buoyant | spirits.

THE CZlR IND THE FINNS.

It is now said that the Czar of all the
 Russias doesn't get truthful informa- ton from some of those who are talk. ing part in the government of his do- minions and 1t Is believed that he doesn't know just what is being done in Finland. A messenger was sent to Helsingfors with orders to remove from the Finnish state archives all docu- ments connected with the office of the Secretary of State for the period be- tween 1899 and 1925. His instructions were to convey them immediately to St. Petersburg. The keeper of the ar chives at HeIsingfors refused to give them up, on the ground that he could only receive such an order from the Finnish Senate. He was encouraged in his refusal by an appeal, bearing the signatures of $50 ladies of Helsngfors, saying: "The new attack on our coun- try's rights made by the intended seiz- ure Of original documents in the Fin nish state archives, which from their very character constitute Finnish state property. and which consequently can not be handed over to non-Finnish authorities or institutions. has called forth the most profound indignation among us female citizens It is clear to us that an energetic protest on the part of the Finnish government must

The sale of American hats abroad began only three years ago. At first scotland was approached in the sub lect. Glasgow was the dog our hats Were tried on. Scotch women have more style than the English women, which perhaps accounts for the selec- ton of Glasgow as an experimental station for American millinery. The experiment was successful.
 Having inoculated Glasgow with q taste for New York trimmed hats the experiment was passed on to Edin- burgh, Hoot, morl ilka lassie takkit tot like galutherin'. Which isn't scotch, but sounds like 1t.
 Liverpool and London said they'd take some, too, if you please. By this time the dealers here in New York struck attitudes and exclaimed:

DON'T WALK ENO UGH.

Englshmen have been generally supposed to be great walkers, but the | rather startling declara ton is made by one of England's most widely known opponents of practical athletics that physical decadence, from a muscular point of view, is perceptible in the Brit ish race, and that it is attributable to palpable and growing disinclination on the part of Englishmen to make use of their legs in walking to the extent that nature intended they should The author of this statement is MT. C. N. Jackson, who for two-score years has been prominently connected with col lege field sports in England He is coach of the Oxford University Ath- letic Club and consequently chief coun- selor and instructor of the team which will represent the great English school in the contests in which it will partici- pate in this country. MT. Jackson says that the leg muscles of this genera
  tion are noticeably weaker than those of the preceding one. This is evident in the character of the injuries which have come to those under his profess sional training, which, as he views it. unmistakably indicates growing frailty of the muscles. And Mr Jack son isn't in doubt as to the cause for the apparent deterioration. He as- serts that the bicycle and the street car are largely responsible for it. The average Briton, whether athletically in- clined or not, doesn't walk enough
 Few people, except letter carriers and such, do walk enough It is the best exercise there is, and it's value should be more appreciated than it is.

Fully ninety per cent. of the dishon- est bookkeepers are never exposed. says an expert accountant. He was talking about some of his experiences when called into court to give expert testi- mony. Tn my business I am pretty familiar with the various methods trusted employees have of covering up their petty thieving, and unless the amount is very large restitution is us- ually made by members of the thief's family or by some of his friends. These men who succumD to a temptation that is so alluring are not thievish by in- etinct. Usually they consider that they are simply borrowing without asking permission, and fully expect to pay the sum back They conceal their pilfer- ings for a while until the magnitude of the sum appals them, and then they either confess or run away before they are actually found out These fellows are seldom arrested. As I have said, at least ninety per cent. are never ex- posed. Large business firms sort of ex- pect that kind of thing, more or less, and it is surprising how few of these

MEETING OF COUNCIL ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACT
 ED LAST NIGHT.
Question of Leaves of Absence to Firemen-Improvement to Mar ket-Dr. Gaston Reelected
 on School Board.

The second regular meeting in May of the City Council was held last night.
 A communication was received from the Mayor transmitting a letter from the Chief of the Fire Department relat- ing to leave of absence granted to fire men:
 In response thereto the Mayor says:
 Recently your honorable body has seen proper to pass resolutions allow ing pay for lost time to certain mem bers of the Fire Department on peti, tions. Although the charter expressly gives the Executive the right to dis approve all resolutions authorizing the expenditure of money, have heretofore followed the custom of my predecessors in deferring to your judgment in such matters. However I feel it my duty to call your attention to the fact that you are setting very dangerous prece- dent in granting such petitions without reference to the Chief of the Fire De- partment or the Mayor.
 Tt can be seen from the Chief of the Fire Department that such a practice will prove demoralizing in the extreme to his department, the present regula- tion allowing ten days for lost time either occasioned by sickness or by va- cation. The suggestion of the Chief that an ordinance specific in it's terms and leaving no room for doubt, should be adopted to govern such cases has my unqualified approval. Such regula- tions have long prevailed in the Police Department, and work satisfactorily. |"
 Alderman Toole, Chairman of the Committee, said that this committee had only one such petition referred to it and nothing had been done either way.
 Alderman Roman moved that the matter be referred to the Fire Commit tee with instructions to report an ordi- nance at the next regular meeting meeting the views of the Mayor and the Chief, which was adopted.
 The ordinance making an appropria- tion of $10.4S293 for carrying on the Sanitary Department was adopted. A petition was received from the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph Company, asking for privilege to undermine certain paved streets, which was referred to Committees on Franchises and Streets.
 The term of Dr. J. l.. Gaston having expired as a member of the City School Board. he was, on motion of Alderman Finley. unanimously re- elected for a term of six years.
 Alderman Westcott presented the plans and specifications for changes in the market house. which were adopt ed. The new plan opens up the old driveway through from Monroe Street to Madison Avenue and cuts off twen- ty feet for said alley way. The stalls will be located along the side of such driveway.
 Alderman May offered a resolution that the City Clerk advertise for ten days for bids for one pump. Alderman Roman said that he did not want to sell any of the pumps at the water sta tion until a duplicate of the present pump was secured.
 Alderman Hartley said there was no use for the pump proposed to De sold as it was not in order and could be sold without any risk to the city.
 Action on the resolution was post noned until the next regular meeting.
 The Council then adjourned.
