A story is told in The Omaha Mercury of a Pennsylvania farmer who wore his old suit until everyone was tired of It.. and his estimable wife was almost ashamed of the hustling man who had been inside of 1t so long. But one day he went to town to sell his produce, and while there he determined to buy a new suit and, happy thought. surprise Eliza. So he bundled a neat suit into the wagon and drove homeward. It was after night as ne hurried homeward, and at a bridge over a river he stood up on the wagon and peeled and threw the despised old suit in the water. Then he reached for his new clothes. They were gone-had jolted out of the wagon. The night was cold and his teeth chattered, and he hurried home. He surprised Eliza even more than he had anticipated.

KING LEOPOLD

 Tt vas my good fortune to serve under that cN-confederate general. gal lant old Joe Wheeler. who commanded the cavalry division at Santiago. In my regiment there were certainly as many men wh 1se fathers had served in southern as there were men whose fathers had served in the northern army. Among the captains there was opportunity to promote but one to a field rank The man who was singled out for this promotion, because Of con spicuOus gallantry in the field. was the son of a confederate general and who was himself . citizen of this Palmetto state, and no American officer would wish to march to battle beside d more loyal, gallant and absolutely fearless comrade than my former captain ana ma jor, your fellow citizen.

Therefore an eX-cOnfederate HOW stands aS the exponent of this government and this people in that great group Of islands in the eastern seas, over which the American flag floats.
 The progress which has been made under General Wright and those like him has been indeed marvellous. In fact, in 6 letter of the generals the ether day it seems to be considered that there is far more warfare about the Philippines in this country than there is warfare ;n the Philippines themselves.
 It has been added proof of the com pleteness of the reunion of our country that one Of the foremost men who has been instrumental in driving forward the great work ot civilization and hu- manity in the Philippines has been a man who in the civil war found dis tinctiOn in the uniform of the confede- rate gray.

Charleston, $. C., April 9.-Greetad and hunored by manifestation of the respect and esteem of enthusiastic thousands. President Roosevelt was the guest of the South Carolina and Inter- state and West Indian exposition today The weather was ideal. The events of the day began with q grand procession through the streets O. Charleston and afterwards there were speeches in the auditorium. presentation Of q sword by the president to Major Michah Jen- kins, a luncheon al the Woman's buiid- ing and an inspection of the grounds and buildings.
 The enthusiasm of the people was un bounded and there was standing room only on the sidewalks and porches and doorwayS and in the wide piaZZaS of the house along the line of march.
 The presidents speech at the Audi torium was in part as follows: With delicate and thoughtful courtesy you originally asked me to come to this exposition or the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The invita- tiOn not only showed fine generosity and manliness in you. my hosts, but il also emphasized what hardly anything else could have en- phasized how completely we are now d united people. The wounds left by the great civil war, incomparabIy the greatest war of modern times, have healed and its memories are now price less heritages of honor alike to the north and the south.
 Devotion, self-sacrificc, steadfast resolution and lofty daring. high devo- tion to the right as each man saw it, whether northerner O. southerner-all these qualities of men and women of the early eos now shine luminous and brilliant before our eyes, while the nists of anger and hatred that once dimmed them have passed away for ever. All of us, north and south. can glory alike in the valor of the men who wore the blue and of the men who wore the gray.
 Those were iron times, and only iron men could fight to it's terrible finish the giant struggle between the hosts Of Grant and Lee. To us of the pres ent day and to our children and chil- dren's children. their valiant deeds high endeavor and abnega ton of self have shown that that struggle by those who took part therein will remain for- evermore to mark the level to which We in our turn must rise whenever tn, hour of the nations need may come.

ANTI-CONSPIRACY
 BILL IN THE HOUSE
A Summary of the Purpose Made by
 Chairman Ray.

Washington, Apr. 9.-The house com- mittee on judiciary through Chairman Ray, today filed it's report of the bill pCpularly known as the oar-Grosve- nor anti-injunction and anti-conspira- cy bill. The measure has attracted widespread attention in labor and rail road circles.
 MT. Rays reports summarize it's pur- poses as follows: If this bill becomes 9 law, in all labor disputes between employers and employees, the following conditions will exist: It will not be criminal conspiracy for two or more persons to merely contract. combine or agree to act in restraint of interstate or foreign commerce, if such acts would not be criminal if actually committed by one person acting alone
 "No injunction or restraining order will lawfully issue, based solely on such contract, combination or agree nent.
 Ut will be crime for two or more per sons to contract, combine or agree to do any act in restraint of interstate and foreign commerce which would be criminal when committed by one per son acting alone.
 Ut will be a criminal conspiracy to contract. combine or agree to do any act in restraint of interstate and for eign commerce if such act be criminal when actually committed by one person
 Nothing in the law will sanction resort to force or violence or intimida- tion by d show of force, in aid or fur therance of any trade dispute, or make innocent or non-punishable any act done aside from the mere making of an agreement or contract that otherwise would be punishable as crime

 MT. Ball of Texas contended that the bill would afford no relief to Cuba. The bill was q republican measure and be- ing such he was ready t0 assume the responsibility of taking his stand with the democrats of Louisiana in opposi- ton to it rather than with the republi- cans of Pennsylvania, who favor it. He denied that the bill was in line with democratic doctrines, because it was admitted that it would not result in reducing the price of sugar to the American consumer. It's sole benefici- ary he argued, would be the sugar trust

Washington, April 9.-The feature of the second days debate in the house on the Cuban reciprocity bill was an impassioned speech in opposition to the measure by William A. Smith of Mich igan. republican. Senators Spooner and Quarles of Wisconsin and Deliver of Iowa and a group of the Michigan beet sugar manufacturers in the gal lery were in his audience and he was literally applauded by his republican supporters as he assailed the republi- can leaders who were advocating the bill, boldly charging them with being false to the republican, doctrine of pro- lection. Mir Morris of Minnesota, an other republican, made a strong speech against the bill.
 Other speakers today Were Messrs. Ball democrat, of Texas, and Spark man. democrat, of Florida. both of whom opposed the bill. and MT Mon dell of Wyoming, who advocated it's passage.
 The democratic and republican opDo- nents of the measure are trying to get together on Q. proposition to take the differential off refined sugar. The in dica tions are that the debate will te protracted. The demand for time to speak is great and there is now no ex- pectation that the general debate will be completed until next week.
 MT. Mondell of Wyoming, in favoring the bill today, argued that the condi- tions in Cuba made it necessary for the relief contained in the bill and it should be granted if the new Cuban 1e- public was to be inaugurated with any hope of success. Free Cuba, to be successful, must be prosperous Tr- dustrial disaster there would Hnean
