SPEAKING OF THE PRESIDENT.

Abner McKinley's resemblance to the late president is so striking that it is a shock to anyone who now sees him for 1he first time.
 President Roosevelt as a speaker varies good deal in the matter of delivery. Sometimes he speaks very rapidly, and this especially when deeply moved. But generally he speaks very slowly, choosing his words with great care.
 Few presidents of the United States have had middle names. The list is composed of John Quincy Ad- ans, William Henry Harrison, James K. Polk, Ulysses s. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield and Chester 4. Arthur, seven in all.
 John G. Milburn, in whose Buffalo home President Mckinley died, has for 20 years been a prominent lawyer of western New York. Born in Eng land 30 years ago, he came to this country in 1869 and worked as a me- chanical engineer. Then he studied law and passed the bar examination before he was entitled to citizen pa pers. Influential men took his ease up and after much legislative wran- gling bill was passed waiving his alienship and giving him full citizen ship.
 President Roosevelt is surrounded by an official family of short names. In the cabinet we have Root, Hay. Smith, Long, Gage, Knox-all names of one syllable, which is most un- usual. The presidents most intimate friend is Wood. The man he is most 1ond of in New York is Riis. His most intimate political enemy is Platt- His chief political adviser and for years his sponsor is Lodge. His private secretary is Loeb. His sec retary while governor of New York was Youngs. All names of one syl- fable.

That will mean much to Meriden, for both are good hustlers.
 Polo is booming just now down in this league, and two other cities have asked for franchises in the league. They are the rival cities, Winsted and
