ROOSEVELT P~ARAPHRASED.
Nothing In the Presidents Declars-
tions That Need Cause the
Trusts Any Alarm.

1t 10 pleasing TO know that some at
least of the republican leaders who had
come to look ON Mr.. Roosevelt as a
trouble hunter" are, since his speech
at Cincinnati, praising him for his
Conservatism" This is based chiefly
on the very emphatic manner in which
the president made it plain that he had
NO intention of advocating the only
practical present curb on the evils at
tending the trusts-namely, the with
drawal from them of the favors of the
tariff. But without this most recent
demonstration of his purpose not to
interfere with the idol of his party
there does not seem to have been any
thing in. the propositions of Mr.. Roose-
welt that need alarm the most timid of
the politicians, says the New York
Times. After giving effect to all the
qualifications on which he insists there
is not much left to his speeches. Take
his latest and most carefully elabor-
ated utterance at Cincinnati. Suppose
that he had contented himself with a
statement in substance as follows:
"No one knows exacly what is meant
by trusts There are good ones and
there are bad ones. I do not know ex
actly how to tell them apart. I do not
know precisely what the evils of the
bad ones are. Whatever they may be,
congress has not the power to
remedy them. I do not know exactly

what definite power it ought to have,
but the only way to give it is by an
amendment to the constitution, the
nature of which cannot be stated in
advance. But it will take a great while
to get the amendment, and we can have
time to study it out. All l can say is
that we must act with the greatest firm
ness and caution, courage and delibera-
ton, do nothing until we are sur we
are right, and do it without hesita-
ton"
Would not that be in reality all that
he did say in his speech at Cincinnati
o r in the speeches that have preceded
it? As we have paraphrased his utter
noes they seem nonsensical. But is
the paraphrase unfair or incomplete?

GOOD FORM AT WEDDINGS.
Rules of Etiquette That Are Pre-
scribed and Carefully Followed
in English Society.

A bride should either thank person
ally or write notes to all persons who
send wedding presents. ,
1t is considered good taste nowadays
to have brown bay horses for the
brides carriage instead of gray ones.
The custom of having groomsmen in
equal number with the bridesmaids has
been revived of late.
Ii there are many pages the bride
usually gives them presents, while the
bridegroom presents each bridesmaid
with a present, and bouquet and also
gives a bouquet to the brides mother.
Bridesmaids pay for their own dress
es unless the brides mother offers to
do so. This is not usual, however, and
there is not the least necessity for her
to do so.
The bridegroem'S mother is led down
the church after the ceremony by the
BRIDES father or whoever gave hel
away. The BRIDES mother and the
bridegroom's father follow.
The bridegroom provides house and
table linen as well as furniture. Years
ago the linen was in the brides care
but all this is changed.
A bridegroom usually wears a very
dark blue or black frock coat. light
trousers, generally gray, a light OF
white tie, patentleather boots or shoes
and a high hat.

BITS OF FEMININITY.
ITEM Of Apparel That Are Attract
ing Attention to h Costumes
for Autumn.

The frou-frou effect at the lower
edge is a marked Characteristic of the
newest skirts, reports the Detroit Free
Press.
Box plaits will be worn again on au-
tumn blouses and house waists,
either with front or back f~astenings.
Paris continues to insist upon plaids
and checks, and the checks are being
taken up with considerable enthusi.
assn here, while the plaids are still
trembling in the balance.
Unlined etamine, wolfe, brilliant
inc, mohair, or silk warp eolienne,
worn over a bodice and silk petticoat
of matching color, will form one of the
most favored of early autumn costumes
for general uses.
Recently imported gowns for au-
tumn and winter show delightful cape
collar effects. The collars fall but a
few inches below the shoulder line.
Fancy gimps and braids will be used
on many styles of dress. Gallons
both wide and narrow + infavor, and
are to be worn in all thedark and some
of the neutral tones, matching plain
dressfabrics, the narrower braids often
finished with fecks, OF a tiny line of
red, gold, white or silver at each edge.

Enough to Confuse.

1t appears from the campaign
speeches that all the good things which
have come upon the country are due to
the Dingley tariff; all the bad things
are the result of natural laws, owe
which the republican party has had no
control. Thus. while republican policy
has caused good crops and general
prosperity, it has had nothing to do
with the growth of trusts, which
merely illustrate a universal tendency.
The general advance of prices indi-
Gates the prosperity flowing from the
tariff; If wages and salaries have not
advanced CORRESPONDENCE, it is be-
cause they are controlled by the law
of supply and demand. A similar dis
tinction runs through the whole po-
litical and economic field. If not al
ways convincing it is most convenient.
Yet sometimes it is a little confusing
to the logical mind.-Philadelphia
Ledger,

CAVE HOTEL.
The Man Who Runs 1t Is Not Permit
ted to Manage the Cave Mt the
Same Time.

John Croghan, the late owner of
Mammoth cave, Kentucky's great nat
ural curiosity, was of the opinion that
the cave and his hotel near it were bust
ness enterprises Of too large proper
tons to be managed by one man; he
therefore provided in his will that they
should not be placed under the same
management. This curious provision
has made considerable trouble for the
heirs, some of whom were not disposed
to abide by the will, says the New York
Sun.
The dispute has at last been settled
and the will of the late owner will be
carried out to the letter. The hotel
has been leased to one nan and an
other will be placed in charge of the
cave.
The hotel near the entrance to this
famous show place is one of the most
curious structures in the country. In
point of architecture there is no other
that can be classed with it.. .
When visitors began to come to the
cave, about 1912, in numbers sufficient
to make it likely that money might
be made by supplying them with shell
ter and food, a log cabin was erected
for their entertainment. When the
number of visitors outgrew these ear
hest accommodations another log cab
in was put up, and in time it was neces-
sary to erect a third, a fourth and so
on.
Then a main edifce was built con
tanning the Office, parlor and ballroom
that are essential to any frst-rate re-
sort; but the log cabins are still as
much a part of the hotel as ever, and
to make them seem more like a por-
ton of the common hostelry they were
all connected by a long and delightful
veranda.
The original cabin, built in 1912, still
stands just as it was first erected ex-
cept that Its logs have been weather.

T Il TO COMPLAIN OF.
Things Were Moving Along "Purty
Parrish" and the Folks Were
Nos Worrying.

81 was sitting on his ~doorsteps with
Bill Meacham, of North Carolina" said
our Southern Tramp, says the Detroit
Free Press, when an old man who
was an acquaintance of his and lived
ten miles away rode up for a good-day
and a word or two. After some gen.
eral talk my host asked:
"'Say, Mr.. Shorebit, is money skarse
or plenty over yo'r way?'
Powerful skarse. Mr.. Meacham-
powerful so,' was the reply. 1T is so
skarse that Dave Horner and Joe
Wigfall got into a fight ver two bits

Record-Herald, that the president IL
at the point of open rupture with Sec
rotary Shaw and that the latter may

and Mr.. Shaw as 10 tariff revision haR

This information is doubtless cor

He may be forced out, he might die,
but he will never resign. Why, Shaw

Ashanti Thrones.

At an auction room in London re
.ently were offered for sale two an
cient Ashanti coronation thrones, nice
ly upholstered in human skin. These
are said to have been recently brought
from West Africa by a military officer,
who certainly secured, whether by
hook or by crook, a most valuable
prize. These thrones r emblems OF
Ashanti royalty and without them the
successors of N'Kawanta, and O'Finsu

REPUBLICANS
of High Tariff Don't Know
where They Are "Aa."

President Roosevelt in all hiA
speeches never once referred to the re-
publican campaign text book, o for
that matter does any other campaign
orator that has so far been heard from.
Was all the time and la bor of the com
piler of that in .eresting production in
vain? Are all the reputed facts and
figures TO be buried in the junk shopf
The president openly rebuked the con-
g~ressional committee that issued the
campaign book by discussing the very
matters that were omitted from that
interesting production, such as Cuban
reciprocity and the reciprocity treaties.
He also took issue with the committee
on the tariff and trust questions.
With the president on the stump re-
futing the arguments put forth by
the republican committee in its Off
cial ext book and rebuking the mis-
sion of matter that makes important
issues, that party certainly is in a torn
up state and 1t is no wonder that so
many republicans don't know where
they are at.

Skull Broken twenty-five Years.

Charles Pulls, an expert account
ant of the Lackawanna railroad, fell
unconscious while at work to-day, and
surgeons at Christ hospital, Jersey
City, discovered that the cause was a
fracture of the skull which had existed
for twenty-five years without his
knowledge, and which had not trou-
bled him until last week, when he
complained of pains in his head
The surgeons noticed a scar and a
perceptible swelling over the right
eye. Investigation revealed an old
fracture of the frontal bone, which
caused a piece of the skull to press
upon the brain. An operation was per-
formed and Pulls will probably re-
cover.

The Dangerous Game of Chess.

The death of a Minneapolis mer-
chant from apoplexy caused by bout
at chess calls attention anew to the
danger of games which demand too
close mental effort. A very large
number of the masters of chess in
particular have died insane, and the
stress which menaces the nervous
with arrangement must in full-bodied
amateurs past middle age aggrevate
an apoplectic tendency.
The advantage of games involving
exercise is shown in contrast by bill
liards. In spite of the bad air in
which the game is played. it is ben,
eficial rather than otherwise. though
inferior to golf which, with its open
air conditions, is well adapted to the
needs of men of sedentary habits, if
not overdone, as too often it is.
Expert players of chess and other
games of concentration, like whist,
pride themselves upon the .'intellect-
ual" character of their diversions.
But for men engaged in absorbing
daily pursuits it is not desirable to
prolong the strain into the night by
battle of keen wits over a game
board. Perhaps in his fondness for
the theatre, even for foolish farces
and music-hall drivel, the New York
business man obeys a healthy i'm
pulse. 1t is well not to work too hard
at ones play.-New York World.
