Charleston Hospitality.

The Roanoke World says that the
members of the Virginia Press Associa
ton were rather chilled by the cold re-
ception'' they had on their recent visit
to the Exposition at Charleston. What
the editor of the World expected and in
what manner he was overlooked, we do
not know; but the Governor of Virginia
expressed his entire satisfaction with
his reception, and q number CT editors
from Virginia have spoken pleasantly
of their treatment while here.
We have no intention, however, of be-
coming involved in a controversy with
our newspaper friends in Virginia. We
are glad they came to the Exposition
and regret that any Of them did not re-
ceive the kind and degree of attention

ROOSEVELT WORKS
ON HIS I'D MESSAGE

Washington, Oct. 25 President
Roosevelt is working steadily on his
second message to Congress. The
tariff is giving him much concern.
As the draft of his message stands
now, it is the Presidents intention to
urge the creation of tariff commits
sion that shall be a permanent body
charged with the duty Of making
recommendations to Congress, after
expert study of conditions. His con-
tention will be that Congress really
needs the services of tariff commits
sion to make whatever chages neces-
sary. He will not advocate a special
change. but will say that during the
OF the tariff by Congress,
the Ways and Means Committee and
finally the House itself is surrounded
by interested persons claT orinR that
various items in the schedules shall
or shall not be revised. He holds
that the services Of commission Of
experts will be invaluable in averting
long and expensive hearings, and,
best OF all, a calmer and more un.
prejudiced consideration will be given.
Tho President will repeat his trust
views, urge strong army. and treat
of the canal, and the coal strike.

velt's Instructions.

Washington, Oct. "a President
Roosevelt's arbitration committee met
at ten O'Clock this morning in the
temporary White House. Afer Or
ganizing and eleoting Judge Gray
Chairman, it gave brief attention to
questions that must be solved. AL
ready proposition is facing the
committee which may cause serious
hitch in the proceedings, the ques-
tion having been raised as to Mitch
ellis admission to the board as wit
ness. The operators have already
given unofficial notice that they will
oppose calling Mitchell, contending
that his presence will bs a recogni-
tion of the miners union. Members
of the board are hardly prepared for
such contingency as it was fully
expected that Mitchell would be the
main witness for the miners, and
Roosevelt consulted him solely az
the representative Of tile strikers.
The matter is giving the arbitrators
much concern, and it is expected
that they will cali the President to
settle it.

Washington, Oct. 25-There arc
some statements and rumors in GER

cans is one of Inconsistency. 1t has
been urged that he must have origi-
nally favored tho movement to estab.
lish an exclusively white Republican

Roosevelt had pointed to his Federal

withheld recognition from the Lilly

It 10 believed by many that a large
OF the Southern appoint

true, will be sufficient evidence that

r1RS NATION AT HOUSTON
Carrie Doing a Thriving Business
Selling Hatchets.

Houston, Tex. Dot. "a. Mrs.
Carrie Nation had quite strenuous
time in Houston last evening. Inoi-
dentally she sold about $500 worth of
her small hatchets, and it is the gen.
eral belief here that that IS her prin-
cipal object now. She was elected
from one saloon and vas carried to
the police station twice, though she
was not locked up either time. Tho
desire Of the police was to get her
out Of town and that as quickly as
possible. Shs left late in the eve
ming, but took the train she had or
iginally planned to take.
She was at the Grand Central De-
pot waiting for her train when she
was informed that the proprietor OF
the Carrie Nation saloon felt bad
" that she had not visited his place.
She went right away. The police tried
to get her to stay quiet, but she went
to the saloon. The proprietor met
her at the door and she never got in
side. He explained to her that he
carried tho namo as an ad, and she
seemed somewbat pleased, though she
roasted him and sold some more
hatch cts.
A big crowd followed her to the
place in the expectation that there
would be something doing" and
many member Of the gang were per-
fectiy willing to help her wreck that
or any other saloon to the end that
there should be free whiskey at the
expense Of tho saloonkeeper.
The police tried to "hurrah" her
to begin with, but she had much the
better Of it before she was done with
them. One or two of the saloons
tried to got her to visit their places
on the ground that they would get
the advertising that would result,
but she was bit too sharp for any
thing Of that sort.
