CHANDLER AND wooDFoRD
Former Senator Has Stirred Up a
 Diplomatic Hornets Nest

Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep)
 Former Senaor William E. Chandler has stirred I'D a mild sort of a hornets nest bv insisting that the war with Spain would have been avoided had Minister Woodford obeyed his instructions in de- manding the independence of Cuba in- stead of ignoring them and trying to purchase the island for this country. MT. Chandler quotes from official documents which seem to support his claim, but Is met with a denial from Woodford. who says that 1t was impossible to demand independence, and that his negotiations for a sale were purely informal and with unauthorized persons.
 The charge and reply are not alto gether satisfactory. and we shall hope to hear more of this matter Although 1t Is to a large extent academic, there are some points involved that may have an important bearing on the future. MT. wind of what was going on and hence nance. the passage of which Is respon- sible for the present woes of Cuba and our own anomalous situation, wherein we are a3k.d to legislate for suppos- edly dndept ndent nation.
 MT. Chandler points out that there ar asterisks In the published diplomatic hlS- tory of the time preceding the outpreak of war and that if they were filled olt the situation would be clear. MT: Wood ford however, scouts the whole idea. Nevertheless, public curiosity is aroused and will not entirely subside until the missing paragraphs are given out or some assgrance offered that they have no bear .2s on the controversy.

LET US ALONE"
Some Plain Talk on a Delicate and
 Exciting Political Question.

New York Times Gnd. Dem.)
 MT. Talbott of South Carolina, has en- tertained the House of Representatives by assuring the gentlemen from other States that only the people of the South
 understand tEe negro or are capable of solving the race problem to the satis. faction of all in interest, and that any interference from outside will only tend to disturb the delightful family relation now existing between the whites and the blacks and delay the millennium. This Is familiar talk, and to say that we have heard it ad nauseam is not to speak too strongly. The trouble is that the people of other sections are beginning to under stand the negro problem In the South so we'll that the Southern political leaders are rendered uneasy by the intelligence with which their expedients to disfran- chlse the negroes while still counting them for purposes of representation are discussed in the North and West. This is the weak point of their position.
 There Is no doubt much to be said in favor of restricted franchise when the restrictions are imposed impartially upon all who do not know enough to vote in- telligently but it requires great inge- nuity to devise an argument to excuse the representation in Congress of some millions of negroes who are not per mitted to vote. if the South deems it essential to the protection of its mate rial interests that its citizenship should

Paw Paw vindicated

Representative Hamilton of Michigan, and Secretary of War Root have had a strenuous difference of opinion for some time about the advisability of building a, bridge over the Paw Paw River, which percolates. through Mir. HamiItons dis- trict, says the Washington correspondent of The Philadelphia North American. The Representative has held that a bridge Is the one thing needed in the line of public improvements in the United States. and MT. Root has bceis rathef cynical about 1t. On Saturday Mir Ham ilton rushed into the office of Secretary Root with a quart bottle filled with . 'hEQwpish s liquid in his nand

 "Goodness," replied Hamilton, "yoQ are dense. This water is from the Paw Paw River" %

 "To show you there is water in the vious conversations with me that yov think the Paw Paw is an eHptical bicycle track. or an Indian, Congress, or a nrin. ciple of the Populist Party, or a new kind of breakfast food. It isn't; it's a river. This proves it. Now, please le' me have that drawbridge."
 Secretary Root laughed as much as he ever does and sent for the chief engts peer. The engineer said the Paw Paw should have the bridge, and the Paw Paw will get It.

Effects of Short stockines.

Short stockings" says a chiropodist. "are fully Us bad as short shoes. Many customers who come to me with ingrow- ing nails wonder how they were produced when care has always been taken to wear nrdsed- when I tell them a short stock ing will produce an ingrowing nail just as surely and about as quickly as short shoe. Mothers are often careless in this respect, particularly If they are children. The rapidity with which the different sizes become outgrown confuses them. and the result is that the steadily enlarging foot of the boy or girl slip ping into the early teens is very often not provided foE."

Nat Goodwin Thursday.

.Wben We Were Twenty-One," which s N. c. Goodwin's and Miss Maxine El- bott's jlay for their present transconti- nental tour, and which they will present here Thursday night at the Montgomery Theatre is a play of emotions, as those who have seen it delightfully."- know

Goodwin and Miss Elliott the op- portunity of their lives. For 1t gives to fach. parts that fit their genius and per- Ionaiity. To MT Goodwin 1t gives lines of dry. quaint comedy. that will cause at times a ripple of merriment Other times his words will cause tears which no ef. yort of concealment can hide for they will well up In the eyes of everyone of his beholders

But. besides these light touches there will be found many scenes requiring strong, forceful expression-Mr: Goodwin's climaxes, which will reveal this artist as no other part ever played hv him has done heretofore. Miss Eli ott has no less opportunity 10 distinguish herself than has MT. Goodwin. Her beau- ty and charm of manner and the natural ress of her acting will be found most attractive, as she has consummate skill and well knows how to make her. part delightful. Of the staging of their play much has been said wherever it has been yeen. but no words can picture its real beauty unless seen in conjunction with Shis charming comedy.
 MT Goodwin and Miss Elliott have lav- tshed considerable sums to make 1t the handsomest production behind the foot Nights. The company that will support these two stars, is said to be the best that they have ever had. Many of the in the cast. The costuming and stage iecorations, both of which are said to be frnlv pretty will be of additional inter- esr to the ladies as Miss Elliott's ex- anisite taste suggested the one and de- ,Iigncd the other.
