In the course of his recent Boston
speech Secretary Shaw tickled his more
or less cultured hearers with this clever
epigram: "The difference between a
politician and statesman is the differ
ence between a young man who is
looking for a situation and one who is
looking for work.

SECRETARY TERRY RESIGNS.
Member of the Cuban Cabinet Creates
a Sensation,

"A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
At the meeting Of council of secretaries to-
day Emilio Terry, secretary of agriculture,
presented his resignation. 1t was not ac-
cepted Senor Terry will have four days
in which to reconsider his step.
The resignation of Senor Terry is COM
mented upon variously today In the local
press. Ell Nundo says Senor Terry resigned
because he became disgusted with 'the
weak policy of the government and because
President Palma has not followed the plan
he outlined when he landed at Gibara."
Senor Terry himself says he resigns for
family reasons, and because he desires to
go to Paris.
The Diario de La Marina says: .'The res
ignation Of Senor Terry is triumph for the
redicals."
The Lucha says: "Senor Terry backed
Senor Diaz, secretary of public works, in
the Castenada concession, which is scam
dal, and the rest Of the cabinet would not
concur; consequently the secretary of agri-
culture resigned. Senior Diaz should also
resign
La Discussion says: 1.-THE resignation of
Senior Terry Is due to the fact that the
house of representatives delayed Its ap-
prOval of his plans to assist Cuban agricul-
ture and Of the 81, OOO, 600 loan to be devoted
to this end"
President Palma has appointed Gen. Max
imo Gomez and Gen. Mayia Rodriguez. for
merly mayor Of Havana, commission to
revise the Cuban army lists. They have
been given five months to perform this
work.

She was evidently much agitated over
something that was found and on leaving
1t was seen that she had shed tears.
Mrs. Oelrichs. in her application for per-
mission to open the safety vault, stated
that she believed that IL her brother left
any will it would probably be found there.
AS her counsel found that the surrogates
of New York county were out of the city
they applied to Judge Giegerich. Judge
Giegerich granted the order to open the
vault, giving Mrs. Oelrichs permission to
take possession of the will If found there
but stipulated that the will must al once be
deposited in the Office of the clerk Of the
surrogates' court.
Mrs. Oelrichs and her counsel found II
impossible to work the combination lock-
Two workmen drilled hole through the
steel plate, and after an hours work In
serted a bar and pried the safe open.
Mr.. Oelrichs drew from the vault a metal
box partly wrapped in paper, a big bundle
OF bonds. and what looked like a flask with
an openwork silver case. The papers were
examined for about twenty minutes, and
then, to all appearances, all the articles
were replaced in the safe 1t could not be
learned whether any paper was removed
from the safe. new combination lock
was inserted and the safe again closed

the First Presbyterisn Church laughed SO
long Sunday morning that the services
were almost broken aup.i The cause of the
laughter was series Of accidents that be-

who had assumed charge Of the services
for the day.
Mr.. Sweet is tall and has forceful man
ner of speaking that is accentuated with
gestures. When he got warmed up to the
subject of his sermon Sunday morning the
first accident occurred. "A large vase con-
tanning cut flowers was swept to the floor
by Mr.. Sweets hand. The congregation
did not appear to notice the mishap. but
when a big Bible went with crash into
the worshipers on the front seats there
was a noticeable litter. This was followed
five minutes later by another upset, when
down went the table and its load of Ice
water, glass, pitcher and all. The congre-
CATION broke out into laughter Mr.. Sweet

templated Scheme.

knights of Pythias in San Francisco yes
terday the proposition to erect a sanitarium
at Hot Springs, Ark, for sick and disa bled
knights was defeated by the vote of SO to
oo The report of the special investigating
committee adopted at the last session was
completely disregarded. 1t was the voice
of the Supreme Lodge that it has no rights
under its constitution to tax members of
the order for such purpose. The supreme
representatives, however, expressed them
selves as individually favoring a SANTA
rum If 1t could be built without taxation

the Supreme Lodge for twelve years, but
at each previous session it was referred to
committees until two years ago. when a
special committee was appointed to make a
final report on the matter.

nine year lease of five acres of land to the
Pythians for the purpose of building the
sanitarium It was proposed to erect build

PRESIDENT TALKS POLITICS.
Prominent Republican Party Leaders
Take Dinner With Him.

A d1Spatch from oyster Bay, n. Y, last
night says: Representatives Babcock of
Wisconsin, Hull of Iowa and Overstreet of
Indiana were the guests of President Roose-
Welt at dinner tonight. Mr.. Babcock is
chairman of the republican congressional
committee, Mr.. Overstreet is secretary to
the committee and Mr.. Hull is chairman
Of the advisory committee of that body.
They discussed the coming fall campaign
and left on a late train tonight for New
York This is Mr.. Overstreets second visit
in two weeks.
Just before leaving Oyster Bay on the
1910 train the Presidents callers said that
they had had very satisfactory conference
with the President on the general features
Of the coming campaign.
81 told the President" said Mr.. Babcock
that Wisconsin would return Mr.. Spooner
to the Senate and would heartily indorse
his administration"
"And the President told me- added Mr..
Hull, that he was much pleased over the
way Iowa stood up for Cuban reciprocity"
The Presidents guests at luncheon were
Francis c. Traverse OF Oyster Bay and
Maj. John c. Crane of New York.
Edward ]. Sullivan, "A New York mer-
chant, today discussed Philippine affairs
with the President. Mr.. Sullivan is promi-
nent in the Catholic Church, and assured
the President that his policy regarding
church affairs in the archipelago met with
Catholics in this country.
The President today received an invita-
ton to attend the anniversary celebra tion
of the Beth Israel Hospital of New York
next January. The invitation was delivered
to President Roosevelt by Joseph Borr-
hardt, superintendent of the institution. 1t
is not likely that the President will be abls
to accept the invitation.
DR.. RiXey, surgeon general of the navy,
and Mrs RiXey, who were the guests of the
President yesterday, left today for Wash
ington.
A dispatch from Asheville, n. c., last
night says:
Senator Prtchard has received from Presi-
dent Roosevelt an exceedingly kind letter
Of sympathy, prompted by the recent death
Of Mrs. Prtchard, and expressing a desire
for a conference with the senator. As
President Roosevelt will leave for his trip
to New England on the ID, he invited Sen
ator Pritchard to lunch with him on Thurs
day. This invitation Senator Pritchard has
accepted, and he leaves tomorrow for Oys-
ter Bay. 1t is practically certain that
President Roosevelt will discuss political
conditions in North Carolina. 1t is equally
certain that the senator will tell the Presi-
dent that the time was never more propi-
tious in the history Of this state for ad-
vancing the cause Of the republican party

MAY BE MISSING RUBENs.
Grimy Old Picture Found in New
York Vein Stube.

From the New York Herald y
After hanging for years in an obscure
corner in the vein stube of George Stark,
at No. 142 7th avenue, a painting alleged
to be from the brush of Rubens has been
discovered, and it's owner believes 1t to be
the missing 1.-THE Drunken Bacchus' spok-
en- Of by Carleton Smith in his work on
Rubens.
Recently a visiting artist saw the paint
ing and asked permission to take it away
and subject 1t to restoring process to re-
move the CRIME and dust and accumula-
tions Of sixty years to the knowledge of
the Stark family.
Last evening Mr. Stark told this story of
the painting:
"My father, Carl Stark, bought out the
old Heidelberg Fass tavern, in East Broad
way, when he came to this country sixty
years ago, and often he told me that this
painting was one of the treasures of the
inn at the time of its purchase. and in
formed me that some time 1t would be very
valuable.
"When we removed to our present loca-
ton the old painting came, too, although
you could hardly recognize the figures on
account of the smoke and CRIME covering
the canvas. All that we knew of it was
that it was very old. Last winter a friend
and artist visited me, and the picture
caught the artists eye as 1t hung there in
the corner.
HE told me he thought it was very old,
and asked to take it away and restore 1t
as far as possible. He returned it a short
time since, and declared that the treatment
Of the figures in the painting was similar
to that of Rubens, and said he believed we
had one of the old masters works
Theron BIakeslee of 34th street and 9th
avenue has viewed it and says he, too, is
confident the work is a true Rubens
after hearing this l decided to find out
something of Rubens myself, and visited
the Astor and Lenox libraries, and in the
works of Carleton Smith discovered that a
picture called The Drunken Bacchus' was
missing and could not be accounted for.
except that it was believed to have been
bought by a Frenchman named ChatilIon
and brought to New York in 1875.
'In the book canvas is described CIV
ing the figures that appear here"
In deep shadows and high lights the fig
ures are portrayed on the canvas which
is about 3a by AZ feet In size. The center
figure Is a nearly nude Bacchus with a
wreath twined about his forehead. riding
on braying ass and supporting male
and female figure walking on either side.
The Bacchus carries in his hand a Gun of
ancient pattern, and, with chin on breast
Is apparently in maudlin condition. A
Pau, with pipes on which he is PLAYING.
slightly precedes the three, and directly
behind all followsoaa reveler drinking
wine from pitcher held by large figure
at the extreme right edge Of the canvas.
In the over left-hand corner of the paint
ing the road turns, and ins the distance are
seen farms and the asual7 goat. Much of
the rich coloring once inlthe picture still
remains-the scarlet drapery about the
Bacchus and the red wine flowing from
the upturned pitcher!p

AFFAIRS IN MINDANAo.
A Serious Condition According to Gen.
Chaffee

In cable dispatch to the War Depart
ment General Chaffee sets forth a serious
condition of affairs in Mindanao growing
out of the continued hostility OF the Moros
To deal with this General Chaffee suggests
that firm measures be used.
The dispatch was transmitted to the Pres
ident at Oyster Bay, and General Cha ffee
was advised TO use his own judgment in
the matter, and will no doubt engage in an
aggressive movement against the insurgent
Moros- Some time before Secretary Root
left Washington the Moro situation was
under considerat ton and from a dispatch
then at hand the Secretary was of the
opinion that the Moros must be dealt with
severely before they would respect the au-
thority of the United States.
General Chaffee is now in Mindanao, hav-
ing left Manila some days ago. II the cam
paign should continue for some time he no
doubt will remain in the Philippines instead
of leaving on September 30, as he had
planned 1t is understood at the War De-
partment that General Chaffee has suffi-
cient troops to make an active campaign.
