That persistence is n of the marked
characteristics Of President Roosevelt is
shown by his refusal to discontinue his
efforts to bring about an amicable adj
justment of the differences between the
coal operators and striking miners, not
w~ithstanding the rebuff encountered ut
the first White House conference which
would have discouraged a less deter
mined man.. The president believes that
where there's a will there's a way, and
intends to find the way If it can be
found.

There never was a time in the history
Of Omaha when u commercial and In
dustrlal affairs were on such a sound
and substantial basis as they are today.
The volume of business transacted by
our jobbing houses was never so large,
our mills and factories were never more
busy and our retail trade was never
more prosperous.
While the wild speculation that char
acterized the real estate boom Of fifteen
years ago has not been revived and real
estate prices are not restored to the
boom day figures, there is a healthy de-
mand for realty not only for improve
ment, but also for permanent invest
ment.
The building record for this season
registers substantial growth and devel-
Opment In the construction Of buildings
Of all classes, but the striking proof Of
omaha's progress is in the fact that its
Office buildings have more tenants than
at any previous period, its store build
ings + practically all occupied and the
demand for dwellings exceeds by far the
supply of rentable houses.
These proofs and evidences of pros
perity foreshadow the advent Of an un-
~precedented era Of expansion in every
branch of and industry and a
marked increase Of population In the
very rear future as a result Of the ex-
tension Of its manufacturing and dis
tributing facilities and the enlargement
Of its traffic territory.

When Secretary Shaw appeared at the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York the other
day in the midst Of the money crisis he
was met by a score or more Of inanciers,
who asked him point-blank what he was
going to do. One Of the questions was:
Are you going to buy bonds in the open
market?" ''Now that reminds me-" re-
piled the seeretary-''and you know we
always have IN Iowa story to illustrate
that reminds me- Of a fellow out in our
town who is going to put up a $780, 900
building. He had a dozen or more sites
on which 1t could be erected, and every
body was curious to know where 1t was
going up. One after another of his neigh
bors and friends approached hin with the
question. Finally he said to one of them:
Now when anybody comes to you to ask

BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Minor scenes and Incidents sketched
On the spot.

President Roosevelt's independence and
sincerity is illustrated by an incident re-
lated by a correspondent Of the Chicago
Journal, which took place while he was
preparing HIS speeches for the abandoned
western trip. He received a call from a
prominent politician, who came to offer a
little advice. The politician was one of
the "gum-shoe" school, believing in step
ping cautiously, and speaking with dis
erection rather than truth. Mr.. Politician
took the president into a corner and un-
folded a map OF his proposed trip and be-
gan checking off the various places where
speeches we're due.
Now" he said, you want to be a little
careful at this point not to mention trusts.
That 10 the home OF some of our staunchest
and most respected supporters; better give
them something there on the imperialistic
issue or a little patriotic CUFF about pros
perity."
The next place the politician suggested
that the tariff might be touched, as the in
terests were rural and no harm would be
done; and so he went through the list with
his suggestions for trimming and hedging.
With difficulty the president restrained
himself until the gum-shoe gentleman had
departed. Then, It is said, thai he called
Mr.. Cortelyou to him and began to explode
politely. Then he had him bring the man
uscript Of his speeches and at every point
where the politician had advised caution
the president inserted an extra dose Of to-
basco sauce. That's what the people
there are interested in said he. "And
that's what we are going to talk about"
And he made It hot.

The Washington correspondent of the In-
dianapolis News says that there are men
in the senate who might have been red
headed in their day, but that day has long
passed.
The nearest approach to red in hlrsute
adornment is the Tuscan thatch Of the inn
passicned Carmaek ef Tennessee. His hair
would have been red II 1t had waited, for
his moustache borrows the CLINT Of sunset,
and In the heat Of debate is actually red.
Another head Of hair that verges on the
poetical is that of McLaurin of South Caro-
lima, Tillman's implacable foe. -McLaurin's
hair is wavy. with strands that hint of a
summer dawn. 1t is tempestuous in action.
but no one has ever seen 1t rise on end
not even when Tillman performed his justly
celebrated leap.

mite bomb attached to the other end
of telephone wire would suffice, If
exploded, to kill him even at a dis
lance. 1t must be confessed that the
ministers were concerned to no small
degree in taking steps to avoid the
possibility of being summoned to the
| palace at all hours by the telephone
and of being watched continually. The
| electric light instills the same fears
into the Sultan's mind. This accounts
for the failure of outsiders to obtain
| concessions to install the electric light
, and telephones, although they have
scattered backsheesh lavishly. Thus
Constantinople is the only capital
which is lighted solely by gas.
At o'clock in the morning the APP
proaches to the Yildiz begin to swarm
with life. Secretaries and chamber
lains appear, and are followed by Off
Gals going to their duties in the PAL
ace; then come countless spies, impor-
tant and the reverse; court tradesmen,
intriguers and petitioners, for Yfldiz Is
the center of all kinds of business and
intrigue. This building activity lasts
all day until the evening, only to begin
again on the morrow. There is a SEEM
ing contradiction in the fact that at
the first glance, no royal abode seems
so easy of access as does the Sultan's.
Although Abdul Hamid is invisible to
his people by reason of the insurmount-
able barriers raised between his sa-
cred person and his subjects. yet 1t is
possible for his meanest subject to en-
ter the palace but it must not be to
present petitions or to make COM
plants. for to such things the Sultan
is deaf. His ears are ever ready to
listen to denunciations. All formality
and all difficulty involved in gaining
an audience are laid on one side by the
Sultan If 1t is a case of receiving vol
untary spies who are able to disclose
to him interesting secrets. These spies
are hattered by the orders which the
Sultan gives that they shall be treated
with the greatest courtesy. Thus the
Sultan cannot keep Yildiz altogether
quite apart from Constantinople.
Without reckoning the 5000 soldiers
of the Imperial Guard, there are more
than 1000 persons residing in the Yil-
Giz Kiosk, comprising the ladies of the
harem and their attendants, the slaves
and eunuchs, the Sultan's sons and
their servants, the chamberlains, adj
jutants. bodyguard, musicians, garden
ers, cooks, grooms, servants errand
boys, etc. In addition to the 1000 per-
sons mentioned above there are num-
erous workmen, laborers, masons and
carpenters who live outside the Yildiz
Kiosk and are employed in it.
