WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent)
Washington, Sept. Sth, 1902.


Editor Press
President Roosevelt, showing
little effect of his recent serious ac-
cident apart from bad bruise on
his right cheek, passed through
Washington on Friday on his way
south. To-day he is spending with
the locomotive fremen who are
gathered in annual convention at
Chattanooga, Tenn. Tomorrow
he will visit Knoxville, Wednesday
he will spend at Asheville, n. G.
and on Wednesday evening he will
pass through Washington on his
way to Oyster Bay where he will
remain a little over a week resting
and will then go west on his long
anticipated western trip. The en-
thusiasm which greeted the Presi-
dent in Washington and, in fact,
all along the line, must have prov
ed most gratifying to him. The
people in their desire to express
their satisfaction that he had es-
capped with so little injnry from his
serious accident checred him re-
peatedly and vociferously. Mr..
Roosevelt declared that he was
none the worse for his mishap but
expressed profound regret at the
fate of poor Craig" to whom he
frequently referred. Apparently
the sudden killing of his faithful
attendant had saddened him.
The Democratic campaign book
which was issued last week serves
as another evidence Of the degen-
eracy of the Democratic party from
the high plane it once occupied in
the councils of the country to an
aggregation of quarrclsomc malcon-

HE CHANGED THE SEX.
Feminine ManipuIatorn of the Type-
writer Give Their Employers All
Kinds of Trouble.

A merchant from an interior town
of Michigan was in Detroit a few days
ago looking for young man to act
as his typewriter, says the Free Press,
and when asked why he, did not en-
p1oy girl he replied:
i've had three or four, and they
don't turn out well. The first one had
been with me about a month when a
theatrical company came along and
was going to skip their date because
Little Eva was sick. My typewriter
heard of it and offered her services,
and she played the part so well that
the company took her along and in
four weeks she married the manager
and run the whole show. The second
one got little too fresn after week
or so, and came to me and said:
"''Mr. Blank, you haven't got but
one f. in coffee while you've put an
81 in sugar and left out an 'e' in sheet
ing
do you object to my way of spell
ing@, asks.
81 do she replies. I don't WANT
folks to think I'm typewriting for a
sawmill'
'sAs I wouldn't change she did, and
number three was albright till a
young farmer walked in and gained
her love while she was typewriting
an order for six grindstones and
bale of bed blankets.
Number four was the best looking
girl of all, and she hadn't been in the
store three days when my wife says
to me across the breakfast table:
Silas, / think I'll go home on a
visit
"'Yes?' says I.
Sand take our seven children
"'Yes?"
And stay year or two
What's the row?' says I.
:" Nothing says she, only that
when man of your age has to put on
a clean shirt and collar every morning
it's time he got homely typewriter
or a new family
1.-THE girl went" continued the mer-
chant, 'and don't think I'll try any
more. I'll get some young man who
wants a chance to work up, and when
he amt typewriting I'll hoist him up
stairs to barrel up beans and sack up
wool"

Bitter Feeling Against Closing of
Sisters Schools.
BREST, Aug. 12.-The project has
called a meeting of the inhabitants of
the towns of Saint Meen, LIE Folgoet
sand Ploydaniel, who have been resist
ing the closing of unauthorized com
gregationist schools by the authori-
ties, in order to explain the situation
to them and induce them to renounce
their desperate resistance. The pre-
feet said the agitation was casting
discredit upon the country and that
his hearers could not imagine that
three communes would be allowed to
oppose the law.
The projects speech was constantly
interrupted with cries of 1--WE will re-
sist to the deathv 'There will be
bloodshed!' 1--WE will allow ourselves
to be massacred before we abandon
the sistersr'
Able Gayraud, Republican (Catholic)
member of the chamber of deputies
from Finistere, replied to the project
and said the agitation, far from dis
crediting the country, was uplifting it
in the eyes of the world The only
way to restore peace, said the able,
was not to disturb the sisters. The
meeting broke up with shouts of Long

ARTIST NOT APPRECIATED.
His Mastery Effort ON the Tab1ecloth
Brought Only the Gr0ssesf
Insult.

A story is going the rounds of New
York studios which deals with the ex-
perience of French artist who is not
unknown to fame in his own country
and who recently visited New York.
He has since returned to Paris, and
the story can be told, though the artist
must remain nameless, says the New
York Tribune.
He dined alone one evening at hotel,
and he was we'll pleased with his din
ner. While lingering over cordial he
decided to show his approval of the
meal and service by drawing an elabo-
rate sketch on the immaculate linen
cloth which covered the table.
A waiter discovered him andprotest-
ed mildly The Frenchman waved him
to one side and continued to draw. It
was Paris cafe scene which he was
doing, and he was interested.
The waiter went to the head waiter
and complained that the artist was
spelling the table cloth.
ssYou must not mark up the linen"
said the lord of the dining-room. 1T
Is against the rules"
81 make you a very fine sketch, to
which I attach presently my own
name,'' replied the artist, continuing
to make lines.
81 tell you to stop spelling the table
cloth" repeated the head waiter.
In vain the Frenchman explained
that the hotel was welcome to cut out
the sketch and have it framed. He
said any cafe in Paris would prize such
a tribute and would have it framed for
hanging on the wall of the dining
Room.
As he explained he kept on drawing,
until the head waiter could stand tho
longer, and had him deposited on the
sidewalk.
The Frenchman was sadly offended.
Indeed, if the whole truth was told,
he was angry, as angry as he had ever
been in his life.
He crossed Fifth avenue at the risk
of being run down by the stream of
cabs When he was safe on the oppo-
site curb he turned and faced the no.
tel. His rage hardly pedmitted him to
speak, but at Last he succeeded.
"Pigsi" he cried. and he spat at the
hotel through his teeth.

Manhattan ssL,s Road Trafnmem Of
1sred Some Concessions, However,.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The dissat-
asfied engineers. motornen and firemen
of the Manhattan Elevated railroad
lines, who demand that the company
grant them large number of conces-
sions, chiefly a nine hour day, pre-
scented their ultimatum to Vice Presi-
dent Skitt of the road yesterday, and
Mr.. Skitt presented his ultimatum to
the men.
Mr.. Skitt made it plain that the COM
pany would not concede an inch more
than what was contained in his ulti-
matum. The company refused to grant
a nine hour day by reducing the num-
Der of trips.
The men are now confronted with
the problem of accepting the compa-
ny's hltimatum or going on strike. At
least one more conference will have to
be held by the representatives of the
men with Mr.. Skitt before definite
steps are taken one way or the other.
A number of minor concessions were
offered by Mr.. Skitt, and the men were
told that when the whole system is
under electrical operation an effort
would be made to run the six round
Arips day within nine hours. Mr..
Skitt was conciliatory and opened the
way for the mems acceptance of the
company's terms without feeling that
they were sacrificing their own or their
organizations interests.
What the outcome will be neither
Mr.. Skitt nor the national officers of
the two brotherhoods could predict.

Mr.. Skitt and at the late conference in
the Broadway Central hotel that Vice

neers' brotherhood is bitterly opposed

ing back from the races the prisoner
did not stop for the wheel and after
some time Mr. Wheeler inquired of
John Connolly if he knew who owned
the wheel and he was Informed that
it was Touhey's. Mr. Wheeler then
asked Connolly to tell Touhey to come
and get the wheel and pay for it's
keeping. Young Touhy told Wheeler
to keep the wheel as he did not want
it. Mr. Wheeler then sold the wheel
to John Adams for So. The wheel
was found in the possession of Mr. Adj
ans niece. After hearing the evil

sTAY-AT-HoME PLEASURES.
"A Few Comforting Thoughts for Peo-
pie Who Cannot Take q
Vacation.

AS the sun,mer comes the thought OF
outings, vacations and trips grows
pleasurably insistent to those able to
enjoy them, and there IS no doubt OF
the benefit which a pleasant change
does, when taken in the year of work,
rush and worry. But even those who
cannot afford the expense or time of
trip away can get some degree of
this change and pleasure by little
thought and management in taking
stay-at-home trips. There are many
ways in which stay-at-homes can min
imize the discomfort and heat of sum-
mer and find out for themselves fresh
breathing spots of GOODNESS, green and
beauty, says the Baltimore American.
} The suburbs of the city are now
easily reached. Further on, beyond
the suburbs, the adjacent country well
repays an afternoon visit, or even
ride by train or trolley. To the ma
ture lover and the observant every
walk into the roads and fields about
reveals some new object of interest,
some new pleasure in the flower, leaf
and trees. For nature, although work
ing along the same lines, is yet full OF
an endless variety and ssfulfills herself
An many ways" sometimes charming,
sometimes curious, but always worth
the looking for.
Even within the city, the parks, large
and small, furnish pleasure in goodly
measure to those who get into the
wholesome habit of regularly visiting
them. Every man, woman and child
can roam at will in the big pleasure
grounds. that each can feel justly is as
much his as the stately estates of the
millionaire belong to the wealthy own
er. The refreshment to eye and spirit
In the soft green's and the picturesque
vistas, the benefit to wearied body in
the pure air and the cooling breezes,
repay the visit, and give, in some degree
at least, what the more fortunate
ones are enjoying in the mountains or
by the seashore.
Even in the confines of ones home
there is a beauty and an enjoyment to
be had for a little pleasant toll, inter
esting in itself and lasting in its eff
fects. There is no. back yard, no mat
ter how small, that cannot be made
into small estate by pretty vine,
grass. It lis a great pity that this means
of enjoyment is so often neglected,
when had at such small cost. The So
cial theorists of the hour are calling
attention to this. and the popular week
lies and magazines are full of ddrec-
tons how to obtain beauty at small
cost of money and labor in this way.
Ugly brick walls can be covered with a
drapery furnished free bynature's low
ing hands that the costliest efforts of
human ingenuity cannot equal; dirt
and squalor can be swept away or hid
den under luxuriant growth that asks
tor its starting only bit of soil, few
seeds and some little care to establish
growth. It is almost criminal for people
to have so much baroness, sordidness
and ugliness about them when it is just
as easy to hsve beauty, grace and fra

Peoria, HI, Has a Series of Fires.
Am Arrest Made.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE police
and fire departments were kept busy
yesterday by the operations of an in
cendiary. Thee torch was applied to
five buildings daring the day, and,
though the actual fire loss will not ex-
coed $4,000, with an insurance of
about $4,000, the flames at one time
threatened to sweep large section Of
the city.
The police have arrested Edward
Flanagan, twenty years Of age, resid-
ing here, and charged him with being
the incendiary. They claim to have di-
rect evidence against him. Shortly
after his arrestSthe mutterings of the
crowd made it NECESSARY as a precau-
tionary measure to remove the prisoner
to the county jail for safe keeping.
Since then Flanagan has refused to
say a word.
The first fire was started in the store
house of the Val Blatz Brewing COM
pany, at the foot of Harrison street
Ii was extinguished before serious
damage had been done Fire was seen
next in Dooley Bros coal she'd but
the damage there was nominal. Short
~ after the noon hour fire was again
discovered, this time in Neumiller's
livery barn. The flames spread with
such rapidity that the nineteen horses
occupying the basement floor and all
the vehicles were destroyed. The loss
here was $4,000.
While the fremen were fighting this.
fire an alarm came from the Touring
mills of Horace Clark & Sons, two
blocks away from the NeumiIler fire.
Part of the department was rushed to
the mill, but tlea flames had gained
such Roadway that damage amounting
to $4,000 was done before the flames
could be checked. While the fire de-
partment was fighting the Clark blaze
an alarm came in from the residence
of Mrs. Reggy, where a damage Of
about $500 was done.

MADISON, N. J., Aug. 12.-From
Morristown to the Oranges, through
Essex Falls, Caldwell and Montclair, a
eloudburst has done extensive damage
and has caused the loss of at least one
life, brakeman on an engine that was
derailed near Convent. The cloudburstl
caused devastation in Hillside ceme-
terry. About seventy-five collins were
uncovered by the rushing waters, and
many of them were swept away from
the graves in which they had lain.
