Sir Boyle ROche's Bulls.

Sir Boyle Roche was the father OF
"bulls." 1t was he that asserted that
''the best way to avoid danger is to
meet it plump" At another time in
conveying warm invitation to a
friend he remarked, 81 hope, my lord
If ever you come within a mile Of my
house that you'll stay there all night u
He may have been the fool Of the
Grattan parliament, but there was q
great deal of native shrewdness hidden
away behind all his fooliShness. To
Curran when the latter once exclaimed
in the midst of q debate that he need
ed aid from no one and could be
guardian of his own honor Sir Boyle
instantly interjected his sarcastic con
gratulations to the honorable member
on his possession of a sinecure. But
possibly the gem of his rhetoric was
the picture Which he conjured up Oh
one occasion to bring home to his hear
ers the excesses of the French revolu-
tionary mob:
''Here perhaps, sir, the murderous
marshal law men (Marseilleise) would
break in, cut us to mincemeat and
throw our bleeding heads on that table
to stare us in the face.'-London Ex-

COUGHLAN CIV DRESS.

Ghicago's Beau Erunme7 Alderman
Shocked at New Workers. BIunder.
They do such things in some western
towns, but Alderman Dickinson of
Brooklyn has set the fashion in the
efete east by appearing at the alder
manic reception to Prince Henry in the
city hall of New York the other after
noon in a full dress suit, spike tail
coat, low cut vest, white cravat and all,
says the New York Evening World.
One explanation is that Alderman
Dick1nson's everyday suit met with
mishap, Another IS that his evening
dress suit had never been worn before
and this was the first opportunity the
gentleman from Brooklyn had to dis
play himself in it.
"Bathhouse John" Coughlan, the in
comparable refulgent poem in galli-
gaskins Of Chicago, was inexpressibly
shocked when told that Alderman Dick
inson Of New York appeared in dress
suit at the afternoon reception to
Prince Henry. "Bathhouse," also an
alderman, feels that Mr.. Dickinson has
put a crimp in the reputation for good
taste that aldermen have always en-
joyed.
Anybody but an aldermanv' sobbed
'Bathhouse john ANYBODY but an
alderman!
"Here in Chicago" he continued
when he had recovered from his emo
ton, 1--WE have one foul blot upon the
fair name Of our city that is a dead
ringer for the smudge which Alderman
Dickinson has put upon New York.
We gave a breakfast to the Infanta
Eulalia at the time of the Worlds
fair, and Mr.. Higginbotham, one Of
our foremost citizens, came up to the
trough wearing his after p. N.
'sBear in mind he wasn't an alder
man. All the aldermen who attended
that breakfast wore cutaways and plug
hats. But the sartorial faux pas of
Mr.. Higginbotham made Chicago the
laughing stock of the world for many
years.
'<Now we have the laugh on New
York. But I am deeply grieved that
an alderman Is the cause of it. l am
proud to say that have the aldermen
OF this town trained. At the reception
to the prince here, if l am invited,
shall wear purple colored dress suit
with pearl buttons and a red vest.
Remember, it will be at night Alder
man Dickinson ought to have written
to me-"

OREGON WILL LEAD OFF.

No State election will occur this
year until June 2 when Oregon will
elect a governor, legislature and
members of Congress. The term Of
Governor Geer will expire next jan
uary, and the new governor will
hold Office four years. The legisla-
ture meets bi-annually.
The tickets on each side have been
placed in nomination, and the plat
form Of the Democrats assails the
Dingley tariff and its creatures, the
trusts, and demands the election of
Senators by the people and the ini-
tiative and referendum.
Governor Geer, Republican, was
elected in 1898 by 1851 plurality,
and Mr.. Mckinley carried the State
in 1900 by plurality of 1914, but
before 1898 the State was hotly con-
tested, the majority either way being
small. McKinley's plurality in 1896
was about 1000.
The State will be well contested in
the next six weeks, and a vote de-
nouncing the general governmental
policy in Cuba and the new posses
sions, and the Dingley tariff would
put new life into the Democratic
party in other States. The two con-
gressmen Of Oregon are both Repub-
icans, and their defeat would be in
terpreted as a,warning that the party
which fosters trusts and mergers into
capitalism in general is no longer
wanted by the people. There are
prophets on both sides of the fence in
Oregon, and one will haye to wait
until June before a definite idea OF
the trend of public sentiment in Ore
gon can be ascertained.

SHOT AND CAPTURED.
Negro Had to be Shot Before He
Could be Captured.

Constable Troy Smith, who lives
in the Hood Swamp section of this
county, br u -htin prisonerWednes-
day whom he had to shoot before
catching. The prisoner is a negro
who had been stealing promiscuous-
ly in the neighborhood. He had
made threats and had the people
afraid of him, so the constable says.
In his yard at home he had several
hundred pounds Of iron which he
had stolen from steam mills. He
would go to mill and take off all
taps and small pins Of iron that he
could carry off.
Wednesday morning Constable
Smith got Greene county officer to
go with him aud they overlook the
negro, whose name is Wesley SUIT
ton, just across the Greene county
line.
When ordered to stop the negro
started to run and Constable Smith
drew his pistol and shot the negro in
the hip. He ran a few yards and
fell. Before the officers could get to
him he was on his feet and drew an
axe that he had with him. One of
the officers. engaged his attention
while the other one grabbed the axe.
The negro had pistol, two small
DieceS of iron and two rocks in his
pocket. He was brought to this city
and placed in Jail. The wound from
the pistol shot is not of a serious ma
ture, so it is said.

EDUCATIONAL WORK.

The Southern Educational Board
that met Southern Educators last
week at Athens, Ga, and that has
an ample fund at its disposal, in
Guiding a gift of $l,000,0 900 from
John d. Rockefeller, consists of some
of the most eminent philanthropists
and millionaires in the country. 1t
is branch of the National Educa-
tlonal Board, Of which W. II. Bald
win, Sr., is president.
The object of these boards is to
formulate a practicable plan by
means of which money from gener-
Gus givers will be expended in the
South for the education ofwhites and
blacks by practical and thoughtful
men. The plan will be devised by
Southern minds and the expenditures
will be guided by Southern hands.
The object of the boards was thus ex-
pressed by Northern man at Ath-
ems in these words:
"You have shown us that the
South is trying heroically to deal
not only with the negro, but with
great unprivileged masses of its
white population. You understand
your own people and your own prob
lens as we do not. This work is,
therefore, yours. Take it and do it.
In so far as we can help you, we are
at your service. We have no desire
to meddle or interfere. If you will
take the helm we will stand by you,
not as northerners but as fellow citi
zens of d common country"
Vast sums of money can be pro
cured by Mr.. Baldwin and his asso.
ciates if they can show good results
and this they will try to do. Edgar
Gardner Murphy, formerly clergy
man of Montgomery, is secretary O.
the Southern Education Board, anG
he recently stated that a strong eff
fort would be made to teach whites
and blacks alike how to make a Hv'
ing, and communities which helI
themselves will be the ones frs
helped by the board. For example
when Guilford county raised 1000
by local taxation for a normal train
ing school, the board added 4,o0(
from its treasury. This indicates
their-general policy. No great gift
will be made, but every dollar viii
be quietly and thonghtfully placed
where it will do the most good.
Instead of crying out, "Stop eat
ing meat" as an orator in the Chi
cago Federation of Labor recently
did, he should have shouted, "Pul
down the tariff or-trusts, the sacret
tariff written on the Dingley table
that are now preserved in the Re
publican temple"

Neat viii be Cheaper.

Secretary Wilson, of the agrlcul-
tural department. is of the opinion
that beef and pork ought TO be cheap
er this fall. The corn crop is i'm
mense all over the west and there is
also an abundance of hay and other
ingredients that enter into the fatten-
ing of cattle. If the scarcity of food
has been the excuse for raising the
price Of meat, it cannot much longer
be held up on that account. If it
does not drop now the blame must
rest upon the packers trust, and Sec
rotary Wilson is of the opinion that
such being the case it would amount
to little less than crime. There is
no doubt the government will break
the power of the meat combination
and give the people cheaper prices.

Letter From Switzerland.

Harry Force, who has been travel
Jog through Europe with Barnum &
Bailey'S shows, writes a letter to his
mother from Switzerland and sends
her some very rare flowers one of
which was sent to the Tribune Office.
Harry says these flowers grow in
the Alps among the cliffs and are
almost inaccessible. They are very
rare and many persons have lost their
lives trying to reach them. They are
called "eidelweiss," are white and
velvety and are evidently suited only
to the kind of soil in which they
grow.
He says we are seeing some wonder
full scenery now, wonderful indeed to
one born and raised on the level lands
of Indiana. Switzerland is the most
mountainous country ID Europe, and
its peaks valleys and lakes are among
the most grand and picturesque in the
world.
The finest city | have seen is
Geneva. 1t is on a beautiful lake in
the mountains and you can see the
famous Mount Blame with It's top
covered with snow.
There are many other fine cities
and towns here, and they are thc
incest. cleaneSt towns in Europe.
The buildings and improvements gen.
orally are up to date, perhaps, because
tourists from all parts OF the world
visit Switzerland.

seem more like Americans than any,

North Township Sunday Schools.

The Sunday schools of North town.
ship and their invited guests met Sun
day in the beautiful grove of Charles
T. Sparr. one mile south Of Linkvllle,
under the auspices of Linkville Sum-
day school. The early part OF the
day was cool. out in the afternoon
about 800 people were present.
The following schools were repre-
sented, and mostly in large numbers:
Linkville, Lapaz, Shiloh. Walnut
Grove, Mount Olive and Jacoby.
Excellent music and singing was
rendered by each of the schools, also
by sextette from Lapaz consisting
of G.. w. Hutchings, d. L. Reynolds,
the Misses, Mary Shafer, Flora Nye,
Ethel Sharol and Jennie Bechtol.
The program in the forenoon, was
an address of welcome by Rev. A. P.
Love, and an address by Mr.. Charles

and at / O'Clock the exercises were
resumed. After singing an address
was given by Mr.. H. G.. Thayer, of
Plymouth, on 1.-The Sunday school as
a factor in upbuilding of the church
and the betterment of society. Dur
ing his remark Mr.. Thayer paid a
glowing tribute to the memory of

William NJ. Nichols, Rev. j. A.
Rhoades and James KeiSer.
A special feature was hymn sung
by little Miss Tina Gill, who is
endeavoring to obtain musical educa-
tion and paying her own way. AS an
evidence of good will and help a
collection was taken up and presented

had been a pleasant and profitable day
for the Sunday school cause.

Senator Beveridge, in closing his
address at the Utah republican state
convent IN at Ogden last week, paid
this tribute to Pre- sident Roosevelt.
He said: "Do you name courage?
Theodore Roosevelt represents it.
Do yea name honesty? Theodore
Roosevelt is its personification. Do
you name patriotism? Theodore
Roosevelt named his own the field of
battle. Do you name consideration
for. every interess in its relation to
every other? No section own him; he
belongs to the nation. No influence
controls him, so he listens to the voice
of the whole people. The humblest
citizen may meet him face to face and
have as full hearing as the richest
man in the land, and he will give
wealth and prosperity their just and
legal rights in spite of demagagCe or
mob. Simple justice to aIl-that is
the spirit that rules the mind and
heal t of the chief magistrate of the
American people. How may that

DR.. Cuyler and the Novel.

The Rev. DIR. Theodore L. Cuyler,
LII. D., the sole survivor of the great
Brooklyn pastors who were famous
throughout the world in the last half
of the nineteenth century, has written
his autobiography. The volume is
called "Recollections of a Long Life. y
AS preacher, pastor and author his
active life has brought him in con-
tact with the most famous personages
at home and abroad.
The book would not be characteristic
of the author if it did not attack what
he considers the evil tendencies and
influences Of the day. DR.. Cuyler is
neither bigot nor pessimist, and
it is with surprise that one finds him
attacking the novel.
OF the novel, he says, in part:
Exclusive reading of fiction is to any
ones mind what highly spiced food
and alcoholic stimulants are to the
body. The increasing rage for novel
reading betOkens both famine in
the intellect and a serious peril to the
mental and spiritual life' He sums
up the evils TO be found in these
novels and adds: "When interesting
and profitable books are so abundant
and SO cheap this increasing rage for
novels is to me one of the sinister signs
of the times"
