Washington is indeed the American
Mecca. From all points of the compass
come the army of people, some seeking
office and some to assume offices that
have been captured in advance. South
erners are away in the majority, and
the North and East have a fair sprlnk-
ling of delegates The West is next to
the South in point of numbers, but what
they lack at roll call is made UP in
"bif''-a strenuous quantity generated
on broad prairies, and nourished by
roaring winds. Perhaps the most con-
spicuous of the new arrivals is the Hon.
w H. Clifford who halls from the claS-
sic gardens of Cleveland and grew to
national proportions through the magic
influence of Lake Erie's ripping wa
ters. Senator Hanna and John T.
Green, aided and abetted by his own su-
perior ability and gentlemanly quail
ties. Mr.. Clifford has had many posts
of trust and profit in and about Cleve-
land. and was for several years useful
member of the Ohio Legislature. He
commands wide influence in the coun-
ellis of the Republican party. He comes
now TO Washington TO occupy position
of responsibility in the War Depart
ment. 1t is a proper tribute to his
worth as a man and a partial recognl-
ton of his value to the organization he
has so faithfully served. Brother Cliff

Some one said to the Man-on-the-
Corner not long ago at the Metropole
Club, the fashionable resort for Wash
ingtOn's literati and professional folks
Say, don't you newspaper men waste
lot OF time around clubs, literaries and
social gatherings?"
Before we could reply the presiding
genius of the house gave the inquisitor
"a look expressive of disgust, and de-
livered an OratiOn after this fashion:
Il am surprised at you, Jim. You are
the one who wastes time here, if any
one calls a pleasant diversion among
gentlemen a waste of time You lack
ordinary gumption. These newspaper
men are always on duty They go ev-
erywhere as a matter of business. They
are working when you are merely play
ing. While listening to you and study
ing your game of talk they are gath
ering stock in trade-gathering raw ma
terIal to dish up later in palatable form
for the information or amusement of
readers. No one man knows every
thing, and the ShrewdeSt writer is he who
meets the most people, who scans every
phase OF human nature and by thus
diagnosing public taste and sentiment, is
able to give the people what he finds out
that they want The trouble with so
many journalists now is that they shut
themselves up in muSty Office, arguing
platitudes and hugging delusions in
stead of mingling freely with the
masses, getting thoroughly intouch with
their needs and evidencing their ca
pacity to help. At the church, the club,
the theater, the school, the literary or
in the streets and alleys, the newspaper
man of this age must be found, or he
loses out. See? You go way back, Jim,
and return by easy stages -
The head-piece of the Metropole
man is evidently geared up to the proper
notch. The pleasure is all ours.

rendition, particularly by Steal Away,

for the leading soprano and cordially
grasping her hand complimented her
upon her rare musical talent. He re-
called the visit of the Fisk Singers to
Berlin, over twenty-five years ago, and
remembered how, as boy, their melody
had stirred him and the Joy their ad-
vent had brought to the Emperor and
the entire royal family. This colored
soprano leader was one of the original
singers, a member of the party that Wis
tied the palace at Berlin, and she is
said to be the only woman with whom
Prince Henry shook hands at Nashville.
She was Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore,

A Candidate Acceptable to the People
Fair Haven Era.l

With two such candidates the cam
paign should have swept across and up
and down the state and made the com
monwealth very hive of busy and in
terested workers. Instead. however. of
giving the state one of the liveliest cam
paigns in her history 1t has trailed its
way from Pownal To Derby Line, from
Milton to Guildhall and has everywhere
been received with GOODNESS and the peo-
pie instead Of acting as though hugging
a ray Of sunshine have acted as though
they were hugging an iceberg.
Such being the facts in the case. the
question that naturally arises Is has
the state really a candidate one who IS
acceptable to the people? Apparently
not in the persons named. Rutland
county is the home of "A young man. who
has served his state faithfully and well

Attention has been directed so often to
consumption as the most fatal enemy of
mankind, that its close rival for the grew
some honor pneumonia, has almost es-
capped general notice. And yet almost. if
not quite, as many deaths in the United
States are caused by pneumonia as by
tuberculosis, and the disease which is the
swifter in its deadly work is making the
rapder growth. The United States CEN
sus shows that. while consumption in
creased only from 1902 1879 deaths in 1890 to
1l1,059 in 1900, pneumonia increased dur
ing the same period from 76,496 to lO5.971
This rate of increase, If sustained. would
make the deaths from pneumonia this
year just about equal those from tuber-
culosis. Supplementary evidence is
furnished from Michigan by Doctor
c. l.. Wilbur, chief of the divi-
sion of vital statistics. Only one death
in - was caused by tuberculosis in Mich
igan in 1901, a much smaller mortality
than is usually attributed TO that disease
and instead of occupying the place of the
most fatal disease, consumption has for
two years been second to pneumonia. the
deaths from these two causes in 1901 he

Proctor Will be Nominated.
Burlington News.l

The News has never had any sympathy
with the slogan Vernon for Vermont
ers.' Such a cry shows n narrow. prov
incial spirit which augurs i'll for the prog
ress and prosperity of a state that has
sent out thousands of its citizens to earn
wealth, honors and office i'm sister states
of the Union. But that spirit and that
slogan is with us. and must be reckoned
within this political contest at least.
Thus reckoning, we predict the nominal
ton by the Republican state convention
of Fletcher ID. Proctor-because he is a
Nermonter, because he is worthy Yer
monter because he is in every way fitted
to hold the office of governor and will
honor 1t as the office was honored by his
famous father before him.

MRS. LUCY w. HALL
Rest; dear friend, and sweet repose.
Your cares of earth are DER
For you have found that land of rest,
Where cares will come no more.
Your mission here is ended now,
And all your duties done,
AS friend and neighbor ever kind
And true to every one.
We miss your pleasant, genial smiles,
And all your friendly ways,
And yet we would not call you back
TO live again those days.
For you have crossed the silent stream
And Joined the loved ones there.
Who watched and waited for the time,
When you their home would share.
Yet in that home Youll not forget
The dear ones lingering here,
But listen for their coming feet,
And soon their steps you'll hear.
Two loving sons and daughter dear,
Now mourn their heavy loss,
But you will meet them when they come
The shining river to cross.
Yes, dear friend, Wen meet again,
Upon a brighter shore,
Where bitter tears are never shed,
And parting scenes are DER.

Making Money in Prison.

remarkable example of criminal activity
and cunning has just been unearthed in one of
our large city prisons. A convict had per-
fected II die and was making silver dollars
and distributing them through accomplices
on the outside. Naturally the officials were
very much surprised at the discovery, but no
more so than the person who Ieceives a coun-
terfeit article in place of the genuine. 1t is
therefore very important when you ask for
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to see that their
Private Die Stamp over the neck of the bottle
is unbroken, if you value your health. For
fifty years the Bitters has been recognized as
