Personal.

The Duke of Marlborough is be-
lieved to be the possessor of the cost
lest painting in the world, RaphaePs
"Blenheim Madonna" painted in 1907
and now valued at $685.
The prosecuting attorney of Ma
trona county, Wyoming, has entered
suit against It's citizens of Casper, thai
state, for damages aggregating $780,
900. The citizens circulated and signed
a petition asking that he employ an
assistant in murder trial, and he all
leges that his personal reputation was
thereby damaged in the sum named.
Eighteen students at Tufts, includ-
ing five women, were suspended three
days last week because of their failure
to comply with the new rules of COM
pulsory chapel service. Dean Ship
man said the faculty had decided to
regard a breach of this rule as a mis-
demeanor, and that in the rigid en-
forcement of the rule the faculty was
backed by the trustees. He said the
students must observe the rule care
fully hereafter, but these offenders
were restored to regular standing.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York journal of Commerce
Und) says: Texas is engaged in an
effort to compel corporations, and even
individuals, to compete with each
other. A strict construction of the law
would make criminals of two mer-
chants who should become partners
and consolidate their business. The
activities of the law department of the
state are absorbed at present, how
ever, in fighting corporations"
The Chicago Chronicle Oem.) says:
"A new German law requires that the
promoters forming a corporation must
report all the facts under which their
business has been transacted. The law
thus amended requires the stock of a
corporation to be fully paid UP at the
time of it's organization and no pro-
vision is made for the future increase
of shares-that is, the stock cannot
be ''watered" in accordance with law.
There must be full publicity through
reports for the information of stock
holders. If there is any doubt as to
the accuracy of the report of corpor-
ations public auditors will take their
financial affairs in hand. An 'effete'
monarchy sometimes does things bet
ter than they are done under Ameri-
can methods.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd. )says: "A judgment by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court in a case
coming up from a single state suffices
to nullify the antitrust laws of
dozen other states-and the judgment
appears to have been based on pretty
sound grounds; though there is force
in the dissenting opinion of Judge Nc
Kenna that state may in harmony
with the federal constitution legalize
combinations in particular classes of
industry and illegalize them in other
classes of industry. provided there is
no discrimination between persons of
any class. But the decision is robbed
Of great practical consequence by the
fact that the said antitrust laws have
all along been to great extent dead
letters"

AN EXPLODED SENSATION.

On the day after Prince Henry sailed
for home some of the yellow journals
announced under big headlines that
DR.. Won Holleben, the German ambas-
sador at Washington, had been ordered
by this government to leave the coun-
try in two days. but that the time of
his leaving had been extended to thirty
days for appearances sake. II was al
legged that the Ambassador had been
guilty of grievcus misconduct that
could not be condoned, and that he
would have to go. whether his country
liked it or not. There were conjured
up parallels between the Holleben case
and the Sackville West and Dupuy de
LONE cases.
1t transpires that the whole matter
was very small, incipient tempest in
very small teapot. Ambassador Won
Holleben has not been told to go home.
he will not be so told, there is no rea-
son for telling him any such thing.
and the State Department will not dig
nifty the story by an official denial.
The rumor grew out of the pique of
former employee of the German en-
bassy who, after his discharge, reported
to the State Department certain things
calculated to reflect upon the Ambas-
sador, The assertions were unsupport-
ed and the department took no notice
of them. The secret service, however,
looked into the matter, with the result
that it was ascertained there was no
foundation for the allegations. The
story was that DIR. Won Holleben in
1900, being dissatisfied with the prog
ress he was making in negotiations for
coaling stations in the Caribbean for
Germany. used his influence in behalf
Of the election of Mr.. Bryan and GER
tain Democratic congressman, believ-
ing he could do better with a Demo-
cratic administration, and that he inn
properly influenced newspapers to fur
Their his schemes.
DR.. Won Holleben knew that the
charges had been made against him by
the discharged employee. and informed
the State Department that he was
them. but he was never asked for any
explanation, for the reason that the de-
partment was satisfied there was moth
ing in the charges more than a desire
to get even on the part of the former
employe for being discharged. And
that IS how the little tempest came to
be stirred I'D by the sensations makers.

LESTER MINES a CANnInArE.

Representative Lester of this district
is of the opinion that Mr.. German
would stand a better chance of being
elected President than any other
Democrat who could be named. He
seems to be an enthusiastic German
man. There is no doubt that Mr..
German has many friends and adj
mirers in every part of the coun-
try. He is regarded as one of the
greatest, if not the greatest. of the
Democratic leaders. When he was
member of the Senate he was gener-
ally pushed to the front when leader
ship of a high order was demanded.
Next spring he win be a member of
the Senate again, and 1T is said that
he will at once be the recognized lead
er of the minority.
His recent leadership of the Demo-
cratic party of Maryland won him a
great deal of credit. The state was in
the hands of the Republicans and there
were many reasons for thinking it
would remain there for a long time,
Mar. German assumed THE manage
victory. His reward was an election
to the Senate.
He is being urged to accept the man
agement of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee. 1t is believed that
he could come nearer to bringing
about the election of a Democratic
House that any other man. He doesn't
want the place and il is doubtflll If
he will accept it, though he is willing
to give whoever is chosen manager
the benefit of his experience in cam
paign work and also of his advice.
1t would be somewhat surprising If
he should accept the chairman
ship of the committee. There is no
doubt that he is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for President.
If he should become the manager of
his party for the Congressional cam
paign and fail to secure a majority of
Democratic congressman his prospect
for getting the presidential nominal
tion would not be so good. And 1t is
likely that as manager of the Con-
gressional campaign be would recon-
mend certain platform declarations
that would not meet the approval at
this time of one wing of his party. If
he should do that he would make
enemies that would oppose him for the
presidential nominntion, Under the
circumstances it is probable that he

ing the Congressional campaign.

THE AFRICAN COTTON EXPERT
MENT.

The experiment of growing cotton
at Togoland, West Africa, does not
seem to have attracted much atten-
| ton in this country The reason is
| probably that it is believed that it is
! only in the United States that cotton
can be grown for market proftably.
1. may turn out that this belief is
not well founded.
In our dispatches yesterday ii was
stated that the cotton grown in Togo
| land by the natives had been classed
by the Bremen exchange as above
American middling. 1t will be recalled
that this experiment in West Africa
is being made under the direction of
students from the Booker T. Wash
irgton institute in Alabama. These
students went to South Africa at the
request of and under the protection of
the government of Germany.
That government is extremely anx-
ious to get cotton supply from it's
own territory and it is evident that
1t is going to make a supreme effort
to make the cultivation of cotton in
its African province a success. 1t can
not, of course. be said to be a success
yet. because it has been only a short
time since it was begun. If the report
from Bremen is correct, however, the
grade of cotton is very fine. 1t is not
known in this country, and it may not
be known yet at all, what the cost
of raising this cotton is, but it is prob
able that on account of the cheap la
Dor it will be possible, when the
means of transporting it to the sea-
beard are provided, to put it on the
market in Germany at price as low
as that for which American cotton can
be obtained
That this is the belief of the German
government is shown by the fact that
engineers have been sent from Ger
many to West Africa to construct a
railroad from the cotton fields to the
seacoast.
1t is fact worthy of notice that
when Prince Henry was in Boston he
asked that Booker T. Washington be
presented to him. His purpose was not
" AAA4oAAG 1OOul the success OF the In
st!tution of which Booker t. Washing
ton is president or to show an inter-
est in the progress of the negro race
in this country, but to inquire about
the young negro nen whom, the gov
eminent of Germany had sent to ex-
pertinent with cotton in West Africa,
and to find out what the prospect was
of getting other young negro men from
the same institution to go to other
parts of the German province in West
Africa and duplicate the experiment
that is being made in Togoland.
1t will be years. of course, before
the amount of cotton exported from
West Africa will be much of a factor
in the cotton supply of the world, even
il the experiment there should be sue
cessfpl, but it might be wen to take
into account the probability that the
United States will have in West At
RIGA a competitor in the production of
cotton.

If there was ever a doubt as to the
attitude of Mr.. Bryan towards ex-
Senator Hill it exists no longer. 1t
was made plain by him on Wednesday.
during his visit to New York. that he
has no use for Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Bryan says he visited New York
for the purpose of having a talk with
Lewis Nixon, the new leader of Tam
many. They dined together, and It
is said that their talk was very salts
factory 1t may nave been satisfac-
tory to Mr.. Nixon, but it is difficult to
see how it could have been to Mr..
BRYAN.
Mr.. Bryan was asked what he
thought of the movement to make Mr..
Hill the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor next fall, with the view of MAX
ing him the Democratic candidate for
President. He answered the question
with look of supreme disgust-at
least that is what the New York papers
said. and there is no reason for think
ing they were mistaken. In the first
place Mr.. Bryan does not think Mr..
Hill is entitled to any consideration
from the Democratic party, because
his support of the Democratic ticket
in either 1896 or 1900 was not hearty,
and in the second place Mr.. Bryan in
sists that the Kansas City platform
must be reaffirmed.
The great majority of Democrats do
not care particularly whether Mr.. Hill
gave Mr.. Bryan an enthusiastic sup
port in 1895 and 1900 or not. In view
Of the fact that it has been pretty
clearly demonstrated that the people
did not want Mr.. Bryan, or the plat
form on which he stood, most Demo-
Gratis are willing to forgive Mr.. Hill
for not being enthusiastic in his sup
port of Mr.. Bryan. What they want
is success. and if they think they can
secure it with Mr.. Hill as leader they
will nominate him, notwithstanding Mr.
Bryan's hostility to him.
AS to the silver plank of the Kansas
CITY platform, it is quite certain that
Northern and Eastern Democrats will
not consent that it shah be re-affirmed.
And there is doubt whether the South
will favor it's re-affirmation. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Bryan found Mr..
Nixon to be gold standard Democrat
and very friendly to Mr.. Hill. 1t is
doubtful therefore if he got any COM
fort from his visit to New York.

The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh resembling a hard cold, and if
prompt treatment is applied at this
time, it can easily be broken up; one of
the best remedies at this stage is Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, sold by drug
gists everywhere, and if taken freely,
say one tablet every hour or two for
two or three days, the danger of pneu-
monia and serious complications will be
averted.
The Rev. L. E. Palmer, Baptist cler-
gyman of Ceresco, Mich, makes a
statement of interest to all catarrh and
grip suffererers. He says: "Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets have certainly been a
blessing to me. have used them freely
this fall and winter and have found
them a safeguard against La Grippe,
and catarrhal troubles from which
have suffered for years. I feel that 1
can freely and conscientiously recon-
mend them
Persons who suffer from catarrh of
the head and throat are very suscepti-
bic to La Grippe and such will find a
pleasant convenient and safe remedy
in this new catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed entirely of harmless antiseptics
and may be used as freely as necessary
as they contain no cocaine, opiate or
poisonous drug of any kind.

Gov. Montague of Virginia is a man
of courage deserving the warmest
commentator. He has vetoed the
pension bill a risky thing to be done
by one who values his political fu-
ture. But he had the best of reasons
for his veto. He is in favor of pen
sions to all deserving old soldiers who
need assistance. but he is not in favor
of paying pensions to those who are in
a position to take care of themselves.
Had the bill placed pensions on an
INDECENT basis, Gov. Montague would
not have hesitated an instant to sign
it. He declined, however, to place
his signature to a bill under which
money would have been taken from the
taxpayer and given to those who did
not need it. From the standpoint of
right and justice, his position is I'M
assailable.

Congress might do well to pause for
time before passing that irrigation
bill. The purpose of the bill is to Sc
cure moisture for certain arid lands in
the West. 1t involves an expenditure
of some hundreds of millions of dol
lars. Manifestly. if the same result
could be secured by the expenditure of
few thousands in place of the many
millions, it would be good policy to
adopt the cheaper plan. Mr.. Z. G.
Whitney of Colorado has plan which,
according to his claims, beats the irri-
cation scheme all to pieces. He writes
to the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings of Nebraska to say that he
has discovered the real art of rain
making" and that he can produce
showers whenever and wherever they
are needed. He discovered the real
art ten years ago, but has been hold
ing 1t back until all the other rain
makers failed and got out of the way.
Now he is ready to come forward and
furnish the whole state of Nebraska
with rain whenever wanted, at the rate
of $1,000 per inch of precipitation. That
is very cheap rain, when ii is consid-
cred that a shower at the proper time
is worth millions to a state out West.
1t might be possible to engage Mr..
Whitney to practice his real art over
the arid regions, and thus save millions
to the federal treasury.

Only few years ago some of the
Western states put up a pitiful wall
about the Russian thistle. They de-
clared that it was overrunning the
land and spelling everything, and that
thew were not able to cope with it,
Unless the government came to their
aid, they said, with liberal appropria-
tions for exterminating the pest they
would be utterly and irretrievably
ruined. Lately, however, some South
Dakota farmers have discovered that
the Russian thistle makes first rate
cattle feed, when it is treated properly,
so now they do not care how much of
it grows.

Prof. Won Halle of Berlin has written
a book in which he urges Germany to
press, and if necessary, force Holland
to become a part of the German en-
pire. He says Germany has failed to
become great sea power because of
the position of Holland at the mouth
of the Rhine, which she refuses to i'm
prove Holland, he says, profits by Ger
man labor yet refuses to share the Ger
man burdens. 1t is probably safe to
say that if there were a way open by
which Germany could annex Holland
without risking serious consequences to
herself, she would be pleased to take
advantage of it. But, as a London
dispatch points out, the independence
of Holland is guaranteed by France
and Russia as we'll as by Great Brit
ain.

When is a man 'drunk%" Judge
Audenreid in a Philadelphia court
day or two ago endeavored to arrive at
a solution of the question. He had a
Law and Order League" agent on the
stand testifying. The agent said that
he had noticed that when men were
drunk they leaned against the rail of
the bar, and he considered leaning
against the rail of a bar to be pretty
good evidence of the fact of a mans
drunkenness. But / notice that you
are leaning against the back of that
bench as you are testifying; are you
now drunk asked the judge. The
witness blushed, stammered and said
he wasn't; and so a dependable visible
sign Of drunkenness was not developed

The Rev. DR.. Rainsford of New York
is probably not very far out of the
way when he says the whole country
is cursed by poor cooking. The cook
ing is bad enough in the cities. he
says. but it is worse in the rural dis
tricts, where beautiful children, up to
10 years, are later killed by the
grease, vicious and expensive grease, -
of the frying pan. There is vastly too
much of the frying pan in the average
kitchen. We need to teach our daugh-
tiers less of art and more of cooking.
