THE WESTMINSTER Sentinel, referring to what
the Baltimore american published relative 10
there being trouble in the Second Congress
sional district for Mr.. Blakeney, says: 1.-THE
Sentinel is not aware that any body in Carroll
county is making or intends to make, trouble
for Mr.. Blakeney, whatever may be brewing
in reference to his proposed denomination in
other portions of the district. The general
sentiment here seems to be tacit acquiescence
in that denomination and many Republicans
regard it as a courtesy that should be conceded
without question. The Sentinel holds to that
view of the case, and has no knowledge that
any citizen of Carroll has the slightest desire
to enter the list for Congressional honors at
this time. Judge Reifsnider has some warm
friends, not only in Carroll, but in other Sec
tions of the district, who would like to see him
make a contest for the nomination. But he
emphatically declines to do so. At the present
time there appears to be no ground for doubt
ing that Blakeney delegates will be sent to the
nominating convention, from Carroll county,
without opposition"

A DISPATCH from Loretto, Pa, dated August
18th, says: President Charles M. Schwab, of
the United States Steel Corporation, has ac-
cepted the advice of physicians and decided to
retire indefinitely from an active business life.
He will leave America to seek some quiet nook
in foreign cline, where not an echo of the
strenuous life he has led can reach him. This
information is authentic" Mr.. Schwab, who
is just forty years of age, is one of the most
remarkable men Of the time. He began life a
poor boy and rose to his present business prom
inence through his individual efforts. The
trust of which he is president and general
manager is the greatest corporation in the
world. Mr.. Schwab has been receiving a sal
ary of S225,000 per annum, and it is said he
holds at least s10OO0,OOO of the stocks and
bonds of the company. He is devout Cath
Ole and has given large sums to the church
and to charities of various kinds.

THE TREASURY seems to have taken all the
steps in its power to provide sufficient cur
rency for moving the enormous crops of the
present season. Not only has it collected
large amount of paper money for this purpose,
but it has arranged that this money shall be
of suitable denominations. Beyond this the
general Government cannot do much, and so
the question of how to better our banking
system is a constant one. How to make an
elastic currency is not an easy problem to
solve. Some advocate branch banks some
what after the Scotch and Canadian system.
James H. Eckels, the once famous Comptroller
of the Treasury, believes in an assets currency.
So on the story runs or rather argument
Within few years a change of some kind
must come, and we might as well prepare by
at once being more liberal toward the national
banks.

AN AUTOGRAPH letter from Pope Leo was
presented to President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay, few days ago. After asking the Presi-
dent to accept picture, which he sent with
the messenger bearing the letter, the Pope
says: You, Mr.. President, will surely re-
member the many expressions of good will
which l have uttered concerning the United
States. Nothing could be to me more agree
able than to assure you of my continued good
wishes, especially at the moment when the
negotiations of Governor Taft, having ended
in a satisfactory result for both sides, have
come to strengthen the excellent understand
ing between the church and the United States
authorities. As token of my satisfaction
have charged Monsignor O'Gorman to bring
you q mosaic picture from the workshop of
the Vatican, representing our gardens. May
ask you to keep it as a souvenir and as an ex-
preston of my friendly regard? ?"

IT is now stated upon apparently good au.
thority that the President purposes calling an
extra session of Congress Immediately after
the November elections to consider the Cuban
situation. According to that conservative
and reliable journal, the New York Times, we
learn that very close friend of the President
said that he was positive that Mr.. Roosevelt is
ready to sacrifice his nomination for the Pres
idency rather than let the Cubans starve or go
into bankruptcy or revolution. He said that
Mr.. Roosevelt, who had been among those
who were actual fighters in Cuba for her liber-
alton from Spanish domination, was still the
friend of Cuba and would do everything in his
power to make Cuba free from the embarrass.
ment of tax on her chief industry, tax she
cannot bear. Whatever differences of opinion
Congressman and citizens may have about
reciprocity it is gratifying to know that the
land has a President who would rather do
what be considers right, boldly and courage
ously, than seek second nomination. What
ever happens, we have on all occasions reasons
to be proud of our Chief Executive.

Some Sensations Will Be Sprung on the
People for the Rest Of the Week.
If all plans now under way are car
ried out tonight the Elks' bazaar Will
be more attractive than ever. Exalted
Ruler p. J. Lawlor left this morning on
an expedition which will undoubtedly
bear fruit kilograms have also been
sent to New York in search of two par
ties whom, if secured, will create a SEN
sation in this city. An effort was also
made to secure Roland B. Molineux or
Harry Cornish to appear for the rest
of the week and big figures were
named for either one or the other. 1t
is not probable, however, that either
will come as just how there are a
dozen theatrical managers after Moli-
neux. The Elks do not intend to stop,
however, and they will spend several
hundred dollars yet in order to please
their patrons. Tt is the 1rst time that
the Elks ever promised certain things
and failed to do so. There are only
two attractions missing, however, but
the people who promised to come and
signed letters to that effect will be
taught lesson before many weeks
have gone by There are plenty of
other attractions, but there will be
more before the week is over, and to-
night will tell the tale. There will be
lots of things doing down at the au-
ditorium tonight.

The Colby Sherwood Shoe Co, which

to the high grade of shoes which they
are selling at the lowest prices, are

that time they have been located at 46
Center street Mr. Sherwood has been

plenty of room in their new store
where they will be pleased to greet
their many old customers and all new
ones at and after 6 o'clock tonight.
Their new store, or rather their old
stand, is up to date in every way. 1t
has a nice metal ceiling, the walls are
covered with handsome green cart
