Secretaries Shaw, Root, and
Moody to Leave.
OTHERS ARE ON VACATIONS
One Member of the Cabinet to Repre-
sent the Administration Through the
Summer in Washington-No Reunion
Likely Until October.

By the end OF this week there will
probably be not a single Cabinet officer
present in the Capital City. OF those
now in Washington Secretary Root sails
Thursday on La Savoie for Europe, Sec
retary Shaw is going to Oyster Bay the
same night. and Secretary Moody IS to
follow him the next day.
Mr.. Root will be away until Septem-
ber. Mr.. Shaw will return here next
Monday. Mr.. Moody will be absent six
weeks, although during part of that time
he will be present officially at the evolu-
tions OF the NTH Atlantic Squadron in
connection with the army and navy ma
neuvers near New York city.
Attorney General Knox Going to Paris
Attorney General Knox is expected
back shortly from Atlantic City, where
he has been spending the past two
weeks. and it is thought likely that he
will leave soon for Paris, TO inquire into
details relating to the isthmian canal
construction. His visit will be particu-
larly to secure. If practicable. satisfac-
tory title to the property and conces-
sions of the New Panama Canal Com
pany. on the sufficiency of which the 10
cation of the new waterway at the Pan
anna location depends.
Secretary Hay is now with his family
at his secluded summer home on Lake
Sunapee, y. H.. where President Roose-
welt will be a guest the latter part of
this month for single day.
Secretary Hitchcock and his family are
at their cottage at Dublin, n. II. Post
master General Payne is at his Wiscon-
sin home. Secretary Wilson is travel
ing in the West. but expects to return
to Washington shortly to join his daugh-
ter here.
Iowans to Relieve Each Other.
The Iowa members Of the Cabinet,
Secretary Shaw and Secretary Wilson,
will be here during the summer more
than any of the others. and will practi-
cally relieve one another as the repre-
sentative of the Administration at the
National Capital. 1t Is thought hes.
that there should be at least one Cabi-
net officer here at all times, although
for practical purposes 1t is not very
important, unless some great emergency
should arise.
1t will be the 1st of October before
President Roosevelt and his advisers
will meet around the Cabinet table here,
unless such an emergency occurs. and
1t will be the lst Of November before
the White House is ready for the Presi-
dents family, and the new offices tor
his official use.
In the meantime the executive depart
ments will be chiefly in The hands of the
Assistant Secretaries, although. of
course. the more important affairs will
be directed from Oyster Bay. The Presi-
dent Is in direct communication with the
departments by telephone and telegraph.
as well as by mail. and will give his in
structions where necessary as to what
shall be done.

Contract Entered Into With New York
Rapid Transit Commissioners
Not Satisfactory.

NEW YORK. July 22.-The proposed
tunnel franchise for the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, which has been ap-
proved by the board OF rapid transit
! commissioners. was rejected today by
the board OF aldermen by vote of Sc to
10 This action of the board was In ac-
cordance with the report OF the commit
tee on railroads, which recommended the
rejection OF the proposed contract be-
tween the railroad company and the
rapid transit commissioners for these
reasons:
Because It does not provide for pipe
galleries in the tunnel for the use OF
I the city.
Because no time limit is fixed on the
construction; and
Because there is no provision for the
employment of union labor at the pre-
vailing rate OF wages"
Kills the Contract.
The action of the aldermen kills the
contract made between the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the rapid transit
commissioners. The special act passed by
the Legislature last spring was designed
10 empower the commission 20 grant n
perpetual franchise TO the Pennsylvania
company. provided that the aldermen
should have the right to approve or re
Ject the contract, but that they should
rot have the right 10 modify 1t in any
way
Tie decision OF the aldermen is final.
and. according to Comptroller Grout and
Albert D. Boardman. one OF the counsel
to the rapid transit commission. the
only thing left for the Pennsylvania
Company now is 10 renew its applica-
tion &. 1t still desires TO go ahead with
its project on terms likely to be ac-
cepted by the board OF aldermen. and
it will be necessary for an entirely new
contract 10 be drawn.
May Agree to Changes.
Whether or not the Pennsylvania Com
pany viii agree to meet the objections
raised today to the contract remains to
be seen. Mr. Boardman said a few days
ago that. even II the contract be de-
feated. the company would make another
application and would ultimately sue
coed in getting the franchise. The Penn
sylvanla Company has already begun
work on the Jersey side OF the tunnel.

disposed to believe that he declined to ac-

An Inadequate Explanation.

When she vacancy occurred in the Court
of Claims he was considered first in line
for the place. The President being favor
ably disposed toward him, and in view Of
his valuable services to the Republican
party. offered him the judgeship which he
is reported to have accepted. Il is re-
garded as highly improbable that after
all this he would have voluntarily de-
clined position paying $1,000 year for
life, merely because a newspaper had
criticised him.
Senator McLaurin. these politicians de-
clare, has been roasted" and scored
time and again in severe terms during
the past few years because he refused
to adhere TO the political policies OF his
party and voted for Republican meas
ures in the Senate and even when he
was a member of the House. They.
sensitive to criticism that he would
overlook $1,000 job because Northern
newspaper has been caustic.
The Real Reason.
The real reason for his refusal, Sen
ator McLaurin's political enemies de-
clare, is because he fears Senator TILL
man and the fight which the latter would
make against his confirmation by the
Senate. 1t is said that Senator Tillman
has long been primed for his colleague
and has promised to spring some sensa-
tions should Senator McLaurin's nomi-
nation for a judicial position ever come
up in the Senate.
The fight which Senator Tillman would
make against his colleague would doubt
less necessitate the Administration
bringing strong influence to bear to Sc
cure the confirmation. and it is said that
Senator McLaurin realizing this does
not wish 10 embarrass the President.
The statement is also made that some
of Senator McLaurin's friends on the
Republican side who have been back
ing him IN his fight against Senator
Tillman and encouraging him in his de-
sertion of the party which elected him to
the Senate have been advising that he
decline to accept the judgship, in view
of the trouble which they anticipate

How the Ancients Moved Stone.


An unfinished obelisk found in a
quarry at Syene showed how the an
clients separated these immense mono.
llths from the native rock. A groove
marking the boundary Of the stone
contained number Of holes into which
wooden wedges were firmly driven.
The groove was then filled with water
and the swelled wedges cracked the

The detached block was then pushed
forward upon rollers made from palm
trees to large timber raft on the edge

Thousands of hands then pushed 1t

stand. The pedestal had previously
been placed in position, and firm
causeway Of sand covered with planks
led to the top of it. Then by means Of

Keeping Onions.


In keeping onions it Is Of the greatest
importance to have sound. well de-
veloped bulbs, says Mrs. P. J. Venable
In Practical Farmer. My practice Is to
pull them as soon as tops fall over.
After week Of bright weather they
are pulled by hand and laid In rows to
cure, which will take two or three
days. II rain falls on them, they
will take second growth and rot in
spite Of all care. When cured. they
are taken to cool room and put on
the floor not deeper than a foot They
are also put on shelves. The tops are
not twisted off until the onions are to
be sold, as they prevent the bulbs from
packing too close. Having free ven
dlation, they keep better.

Keep Records.

Keep a record Of what you are doing
on the farm, the time Of planting, har-
vesting, methods employed in cultivat.
ing, yields Of grain and hay. sales Of
cattle and other products. When intel
ligently kept, such records are invalu-
able, and it is but little work to jot
them down each week in book kept
for this purpose. A comparison year
by year leads to better and more prof
fable farming, the discarding Of I'M

rieties and the substitution Of better
ones. A record of events pays, and

These two ii. e. Zeus and Thetis) hav-
thus planned. separated. Then she
ieaped from the bright-shining Olympus
lnioithe deep sea, and Zeus set out for
his own home. And the gods altogether
arose from their seats, to meet their faith
er; nor dil any dare to await fin their
seatsI his coming, but all stood to meet
him. So he sat there on his threne; aud
Hera knew full well. when she saw him,
that the silver footed Thetis daughter Of.
the old man of the sea, had concerted q.
plan with him Straightway with cut
ting words che addressed Zeus the son of
Korous:
80 crafty one. Who now again of the
gods has been coHcerting plans with thee ?
1t Is always pleasant to thee when tho u
art away from me, me1itating, to decide
| upon secret plans; and never at all dost
thou have the courage to tell me with a
| ready heart thy plan that thou dost plan. %
Then the father of men and of gods
answered her:
"Hera, do not now hope to know all
my plans; hard would they be for thee
Ito understand] although thou art my
wife. But whatever may be proper for
thee to hear, then no one, neither of
gods nor of men, shall know this sooner
than thee; on the other hard, whatever
I wish to consider apart from the goIs
do not thou at all inquire into these one
by one nor curiously pry into them
Then Hera, the large [lit. ox-eyed]
eyed lady, answered him:
"Most dread son of kronos, what
word is this thou hast spoken? In truth
at other times have not been wont tc
inquire of thee nor curiously pry, but
quite undisturbed thou dost plan those
things, whatsoever thou wilt. But am
terribly afraid in my heart that the sill
ver-footed Thetis, daughter of the OLD
man of the sea, may have persuaded
thee; for early in the morning she sat
near to thee and seized thee by the
knees. l think that thou didst really
nod to her that thou wilt honor Achilles
and destroy many of the Achaeans at
their ships.''
Then the cloud-gatherer, Zeus reply
ing, said to her:
Goddess, always art thou suspecting,
nor do eluce thee; yet thou wilt not
be able to do anything, but thou shalt
be farther from my heart. And this
shall be even worse for thee. But if this
is so it will be agreeable to me. But sit
down in silence, and obey my command, =,
lest now the gods, as many as are on
Olympus, may not ward off from thee
him who comes nearer, when I lay my
invincible hands on thee"
Thus he spoke, and Hera, the large.
eyed lady, feared, and she sat down in
silence, curbing her dear heart; and the
heavenly gods in the palace OF Zeas were
grleved.
