GOSSIP AND CHAT HEARD IN
WASHINGTON HOTEL LOBBIES
Representative Clayton to Speak.

|
Representative Henry D. Clayton OF
Alabama, one of the most popular mem
bers Of the House, is at the Riggs House
He is here to place himself at the dis
committee. The committee is making
appointments for Mr.. Clayton to speak
| in a number of doubtful districts. The
member from Alabama is a magnetic
| talker, and as stumper he ranks with
the best.
Everything is all right in Alabama. :"
said Mr.. Clayton. We will return our
present delegation to the next House, as
all the members have been renominated; !;
and surveying the political field gem
orally, should say everything favors a
Democratic victory this fall.
There Is nothing in the stories that
because We have eliminated the negro
from politics in Alabama the State will
be doubtful in the future. Alabama is a
Democratic State, and will remain so
for a number of years. The very fact
that the negro has been removed as a
political factor will serve to make the
Democrats work harder and to bring out
the voters"
Speaking of the trusts and the Presi
dents speeches on that subject, Mr..
Clayton said:
President Roosevelt Is now telling
the people that he wants legislation that
VIII enable the Government TO control the
trusts. This sounds very pretty. but
what did he do, and what did his party
do at the recent session of Congress.
when it was in their power 10 legislate
on the trust question? Why. nothing at
all. You can't fool all the people all
the time. but it seems this is what the
Republicans are trying to do on the
trust and the tariff questions. The trust
question will not down in this campaign,
nor will the country accept the Presi-
dents declaration that the Republicans
will legislatc against the trusts"

An Obstacle.
By CHARLOTTE PERKINS srErsoN.

BY CHARLOTTE PERKINS sTETsoN.
I was coming up mountain path,
With many things to do,
Important business of my own
And other peoples, too,
When ran against Prejudice
That quite cut off the view.
Nv work was such as could not wait,
My path quite clearly showed;
My strength and time were limited,
1 carried quite a load;
And there that hulking Prejudice
Sat all across the road.
So spoke to him politely,
For he was huge and high,
And begged that he would move bit
And let me travel by.
He smiled, but as for moving
He did not even try.
And then 1 reasoned quietly
With that colossal mule;
The time was short, no other path,
TI> - L. vvvn~n cnc1
argued like a Solomon
He sat there like fool.
Then I flew into passion,
danced and howled and swore,
pelted and belabored him
Till was stiff and sore;
He got as mad as l did
And sat there as before.
And then begged him on my knees
1 might be kneeling still
If 1 so hoped to move that mass
Of obdurate ill-will-
As we'll invite the monument
To vacate Bunker Hill.
So I sat before him helpless,
In an ecstasy of woe;
The mountain mists were rising fast,
The sun was sinking low
When a sudden inspiration came,
AS sudden winds do blow.
took my hat, took my stick,
My load I settled fair;
l approached that awful incubus
With absent minded air
And l walked directly through him,
As if he was not there.

ONLY A DREAM.
Bv w. EDWIN PRIEST.

Only dream, and life goes by,
Fleeing in word and deed and sigh.
Not, if could, would l of it all
A single day or hour recall;
Yet in the distance here and there,
Cleaning like ambient points in air,
Through the haze of the past and dusk Of the years.
The light of some star of rest appears.
Not radiant flame, but mellow glow
Remote and dim, vistas show,
Through which the spirit looks back again
On scenes long gone and the ways of men,
Only dream, and life goes by,
Fleeting in word and deed and sigh;
But those far-away lights CLEAN out to me yet,
The past and its grace may not forget,
Though still, in release, no day of it all,
No hour or year, long to recall

Tacoma last spring went on the open ing day of the championship season to pitch with all my bones aching and queer buzzing in my head. Somehow or other we won the game, but when We got back to the club house 1 was all broken up and my face was cov- cred with red blotches. Mcintyre, the second baseman, told me that l had smallpox, and 1 went to the best doctor n town, who looked me over. He wasn't sure what was wrong, but he sent for the regular smallpox doctor of the town. He hustled me out to the pest house and kept me there for month with half-breed Indian to keep me company. I don't believe that that Indian had smallpox when 1 met him first but that he caught it from me. Anyhow, he got it good, and right after he did meet me. When we got out we were down to weight and in good con- dition. 1 jumped right in and pitched winning ball, and pitched more games than any man in that league. That Indian went 10 work in boiler shop and both of us wound up the season in fine condition." St Vrain is left handler, with plenty of speed and full stock of curves, drops and shoots. He made a remarkable record in the Pa- cific Northwestern league last year by winning S6 per cent of the games he 1 pitched

 Tommy Ryan says: 'In regard to the Fitz-Jeffries fight, I would not be surprised to see Fitz stay from eight to twelve rounds, and of course, he has the one chance, on the ground that nothing is impossible in prize fight ing. But. barring an accident, l think Jeffries will lick him. As for the McGovern- Corbett contest, it ought to be short and sweet, and l would not be surprised if Corbett won it again. He seems to have better and a cooler head than McGovern, and though the latter is 3 great fighter when he is having the best of it, he seems to lose his head and get wild when he is getting punished.' He continued: They have been after me to go over to England for the cor onation, but I do not know as yet whether I will go, as there does not seems to be much in it, and 1 do not care about leaving my business for that length of time unless better in- ducements are offered" Ryan would like to get on q match in St Louis. He has been matched with West.
 The Southern Athletic club an- nounces that it has matched Tommy Ryan and Jack O'Brien for a contest at Louisville on Derby night, Mry 3, for the middleweight championship
 Bill Cheese, one of England's old time boxers, died in an insane asylum in London the other day.
 Dick O'Brien, who is reported in fine shape again, has been matched to meet Marvin Hart in Louisville April
 Pedlar Palmer refused to press the charge against Bill Chester, who broke his jaw in a fight in London re- gently, and Chester was discharged. Manager Dan Alderman, who looks after the business interests of Billy Ryan of Syracuse, N. l., writes that Dick Howell of Bridgeport would be acceptable to him as referee of the proposed Austin Rice-Billy Ryan match. Manager Alderman also agrees to the contest taking place in the ring used by the New London club, which is about IS feet. There seem to be no obstacles in the path of an early contest between the men. Ryan suggests the latter part of April, and i as this date is acceptable to Rice the match is practically assured. Ryan will train at Norwich, Alderman states. and will come to this section about a week before the proposed bout. This will insure a large dele gation from the head-of-the-river city, 1 New London Day.

 W. c. Whitney was quoted as say ing yesterday that in his estimation Nasturtium stands one chance in a thousand of winning the English Der by; that the colt had not been with drawn. but that the matter rested en- tirely with Trainer Huggins. MT Whitney was also quoted to the effect that he had learned that Nasturtium had improved in health, but was so far gone that it would take couple of months before he could begin real hard training.
 Following the announcement that August Belmont has been instrumental in having the value of purses run for at the present Bennings meeting in- creased to S400 each, comes the infor- nation that the Coney Island Jockey club has practically decided to increase the purses of all overnight races to S1 .OOO each and that the Brooklyn Jockey club will follow suit. This is a convincing argument that racing will enjoy q more prosperous season this year than ever before and turfmen are correspondingly happy over the out l look.
 Washington, March 29-The mud larks had an inning at the Bennings track yesterday afternoon, as it rain ed all the morning and the track was sloppy. It was thought that the change in the condition of the track would bother the bettQrs, but such die not prove the case, as five out of the six favorites were winners. Although the card was good one the sloppy track prevented good racing.
