REGARDED AS A JOKE
WHEELER WOULD NOT ACCEPT
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
The Washington Star Compliments
the Albanian and Ridicules
Idea That He Will Be Repub-
lican Candidate for Governor

Washington. Sept 15.-(Special) 1.-The
Washington Star prints the following edi-
torial in this evenings issue:
THE suggestion Of the name of General
Wheeler in connection with the Republic
can nomination for Governor of Alabama
might easily be taken for Joke. That
sturdy American Is a Democrat. He has
done nothing to indicate a change of po-
litical faith since he supported Mr.. Bryan
In 1896 and was himself reelected to Con-
gress that year as Democrat. He prob
ably supported Mr.. Bryan again In 1900,
although he could have had little pa
thence with Mr. Bryan's talk about impe-
rialism. but not less patience than Sena-
tor Morgan had.
General Wheeler left the political field
to take part in the war with Spain, but
it Is not to be assumed that by that act
he left his party. The war was In no
sense political.
General Wheeler warmly admired Mr.
Mckinley and as warmly admires Mr.
Roosevelt. but for personal and patriotic
and not for partisan reasons
Attractive as he is, and without blem-
ish as either man, soldier or politician, IL
General Wheeler were to ally himself with
the Republicans now he would be charged
with having sold himself for an office. No
other Interpretation is put in the South
on a change of faith from Democracy to
Republicanism.'

VEST ON THE DOG.
The Famous Senators Tribute to the
Faithful Animals

One of the most eloquent tributes ever
paid to the dog was delivered by Senator
Vest of Missouri some years ago. He was
attending court III a country town, and
While waiting for the trial of a case in
which he was interested he was urged by
the attorneys in d dog case to help them
He was paid fee of $3.50 by the plaintiff.
NOlumlnOuS evidence was introduced to
show that the defendant had shot the dog
in malice. While other evidence went to
show that the dog had attacked the de-
PENDANT. Vest took no part in the trial,
and was not disposed to speak. The
attorneys, however, urged him to make
a speech, else their client would not
think he had earned his fee. Being thus
urged, he arose, scanned the face of each
juryman for a moment and said:
"Gentlemen Of the jury, the best friend
a man has in the world may turn against
him and become his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those
we trust with our happiness and our
good name, may become traitors to
their faith. The money that a man has
he may lose. 1t flies away from him, per-
haps, when he needs it most A man S
reputation may be sacrificed in a mo-
ment of ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall ON their knees to
do us honor when success is with us may
be the first to throw the stone of malice
when failure settles its cloud upon our
heads: The one absolutely unseltish
friend that a man can have in this sell

him, the one that never proves migrate

When riches take wings and reputation

love as the sun in its journeys through
the heavens. If fortune drives the mas
ter forth an OutcaSt in the world, friend
less and homeless, the faithful dog asks
no higher privilege than that of accom-
panying him, to guard against danger,
to fight against his enemies. And when
the last scene of all comes, and death
I takes the master in it's embrace, and
his body is laid away in the cold ground,
no matter if all other friends pursue
their way, there by the gray eside will
the noble dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert
watchfulness, faithful and true even in

Then Vest sat down. He had spoken in
a low voice, without a gesture He made
no reference to the evidence or the merits
OF the case. When he finished Judge and

An Actors Character Study.

\ good story is being told on Richard
Nesmith, who plays the part of the
dumb and blind ''fddler' in Charles
Frohman's production of ''Eben Hol-
den,'' now at the Savoy Theatre, which
shows that actors can at times 90 astray
in their studies of ':character.'
When Nesmith was assigned 70 the
part he now is playing he was not quail
fed for it further than in an ability to
play the violin. He never had been
blind or dumb. Nesmith decided it was
easy enough to refrain from talking
during the time he is upon the stage,
but in order to properly appear as
blind man he thought it necessary to
study ''character.
The point which chiefly worried him
was whether a blind man first moved
his eyes or his head when turning to-
ward one who addressed him. He de-
cided to settle the question by watch
ing a seller of newspapers who trav-
ersed Broadway from Thirty-fourth to
Forty second street, led by small boy.
At Thirty-fourth street Nesmith
asked for paper. The man turned his
head and looked him in the face. At
Thirty fifth street Nesmith bought an
other paper. This time the man gave
him furtive glance first, and then
turned toward him. The matter was
still in doubt. At every corner from
Thirty fourth to Forty-second street
Nesmith bought paper, and finally he
had the entire stock of the 'blind" man
under his arm.
Gone to selling papers, inquired his
friends, who were decorating the fronts
of the hotels and cafes along the street.
Nesmith ignored these slurs ana went
upon his way. Finally he met his
friend, James Bradbury, who is in the
same cast, and explained his predica-
ment to him.
Il don't know which is which" said
Nesmith, $50 you buy paper and III
watch the man.
Bradbury bought the paper, and while
the "blind'' man was fumbling fol
change his eyes met those of Nesmith
squarely. With an expression of dis
gust Nesmith threw his purchases into
the gutter.

The South Carolina Dispensary System.

In an interesting defence of the South
Carolina dispensary system, Senator
Illlman thus sums up the case in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly for January:
What is there about this method of
selling liquor which makes it superior
to prohibition or to the license system?
First: Liquor is the only article of
commerce IN general use that is con-
sumed at the time and place of it's pur-
chase. 1t is safe to say that three
fourths of it is thus disposed of. The
dlspensary law enforces a different
method by requiring the purchaser to
take it away as he would package of
shoes or sack of flour. He must 90
somewhere else than to the place where
he buys it to consume it.
Second: The element of personal
profit which lies at the root of the saloon
evil is destroyed. The dispensers
receive fixed salaries proportionate to
the amount of work they do. They
don't get a commission on sales and
have no incentive to push them.
Third: 'Treating'' is destroyed, and
this does more for sobriety than
possibly any other feature of the system.
The man who has bought bottle at
the dlspensary may treat one or a half
doZen OF his friends, to one drink and
that Will be all. The inducement and
oblgatlon to reciprocate which are so
well understood do not exist.
Fourth: AT shutdown dispensary
closes. 1t opens at eight o'clock in the
morning. The legitimate demand for
Whlskey is supplied during daylight,
ana the dispenser having closed up his
place of business has no incentive to
reopen it to make sale. Under no
form OF license is this possible. Be
sides it is misdemeanor to make sales
IN any way or at any time except as
the law provides.
