ized this meeting as an armed mob ana
said that it was composed OF ABOUT 1,4oo
men who had been brought from AL

choracterized the crowd as a mob and
snis that no man who would consent
to act as its leader should be appoint
cd TO any Office, the principal duty OF
which was to preserve the. peace
Mr. DeEoe retorted that OF. the entire
number OF people gathered. very srna!l

meeting was. indeed. he said. quite as
respectable as many over which Mr..
lecisburn had presided and had been
held for the purpose Of demanding falr
play.

to represent the Government IN the

that Assistant District Attorney hugh

Mr. L. o. WendenbuTg will appear as
counsel for Mr.. Starke.

The hearing; of the case will take
place in the United States District Court
room in the Custom House. i.
HE WILL NOT COME.
1t was thought until late yesterday
afternoon that Mr.. George B. Cortelyou,
the secretary to President Roosevelt,
would be here as a witness. 1t appears
that his presence will not be NECESSARY
at the preliminary hearing and he VIII
not come.
From what can be learned, Mr. Starke's $
defense will lie that what he did was
as a joke, and that he really did not
mail the Objectionable article, but that
after he had written the dogserel some
one else sent it. -.
Mr.. Wendenburg, when seen yesterday
evening, would say nothing more than
to verify the report that he had been
employed as counsel for Mr. Starke.
n tns ifo. io5 "a
out the: tetin1ony Of Mr.. Cortelyou,: TO
proves the reception Of the objectionable
letter at the White House. From what
can be learned here, Mr.. .2Starke will ad
nit that he wrote the words. as to which
objection is made, but viii state. that he
did it as q joke and did not mail it to
the President, but threw the paper into
the waste basket.
MUCH INTEREST.
The case is one that is exciting d good
deal of interest throughout the coun-
try. From what con be learned, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is manifestins little or
no interest in the case. III fact, 1t Is
stated, that he does not wish Mr.. Starke
to be prosecuted. Tie literature, COM
planned of never reached the President.
1t was turned over to the Postofflce De-
partment when the letter was opened by
Secretary Cortelyou.
1t was not until publications had been
made in the press that Mr. Roosevelt
learned that such a letter had been sent
to him: It is stated that he remarked
that he had no time to devote to practical
jokers. At any rate, the President does
not. from all accounts, appear to be wor-
ried.
Should Commissioned FleEenheimer find
that Mr.. Starke has committed what ap-
| pears to be a crime. the case will be
certified to the grand Jury OF the United
States District Court

Care of Hot Water Bags.

Do not put hot water into the bag
that is hotter than you can hold your
finger in; fill the bag only about one
half full or little more, then lay it in
your lap before putting in the stopper
and carefully press out the steam.
This makes the bag softer, as it is re-
lieved of the pressure the steam
makes if left in it. When not using
the bag, drain out the water let it
hang bottom up for little while, then
take it down, with the mouth blow a
little air into it, just enough to keep
the inside from coming together, then
put the stopper in tight and hang it
top up. The air keeps the inside from
sticking together, as it will often do
if there is no air in it, in which case
the bag is quite sure to be ruined in
pulling it apart, says writer in Good
Housekeeping. If you have bag that
is stuck together, put into it some hot
water with few drops of ammonia,
let it remain few minutes, then
with thin dull-edged piece of wood,
try to separate the inside very care
fully. Never fold rubber bag after
it has been once used. A flannel bag
for covering the rubber bag is very
useful.

Getting the Worst,

A boy came to the door of a lady's
house and asked if she did not wish
for some berries, for he had been out
all day gathering them.
eyes," said the lady, "I will take
them" So she took the basket and
stepped into the house, the boy re-
naming outside, whistling to some
canary birds hanging in their cages
on the porch.
"Why don't you come in and see
that I measure your berries right?"
said the lady; chow do you know but
1 may cheat your"
81 am not afraid" said the boy,
"for you would get the worst of it,"
"Get the worst of it?" said the lady;
"what do you mean by that?"
"Why, ma'am," said the boy, 81
should only lose my berries, and you
would make yourself thief. Don't
you think that would be getting the
worst of it?
The boy was right. He who steals,
or does anything wrong or mean just
to gain few pence or few shillings,
burdens himself with a sin which is
worse than all the gain. Let this be
borne in mind; the one who does a
wrong to another always gets the
worst of it.
