Continuing, Mr.. Foraker said he did not
know who would be the Democratic ex-

yesterday displayed his rare knowledge
az all matters scrIptural, that he would
be the one.
Mr., Foraker said he had felt no great
surprise when the attack upon the Presi-
dc Mt had been made on the Democratic
side OF the chamber, but that he had
tcen shocked when the senator from
Massachusetts made the character OF
sneech he did. Mr.. Foraker expressed
the opinion that the speech should have
been made inSexccutive session.
Nj. Tillman gained the floor to ask
Senator Foraker If he had any knowledge
OF the nobilizing Of 5000 soldiers TO march
iron Bogota, and whether information
of this character did not come from the
White House. 3l
Nj, Foraker said nothing had been

HoIlyhoclSs.

They stand along the rude farm wall
Like buxom danes and fair.
Their rosy ruffies cSught with bees.
Their bright heads high in air.
To lure the gypsy hurnming-bird
Sweets In their crimson bowl they hoard.
They brighten all the sober farm
With looks of holiday. 81.
Content TO bide with humble folk
Outside the garden gay,
Though splendid the lilies deep,
That In the warm, sweet sunshine sleep.
A pleasant screen their tall ranks make
Before the old back stoop:
They sheltered the red hives that stand
Where sleepy elm boughs droop:
And shut out all the long highway
With Its bold eyes on market day.
What focks of golden butterflies
About their tall heads nit!
What songs the breezcs sing to IN am
When evening stars are lit,
And. though they do not tell, know
They sing about the long ago.
And here. these stiii. sweet summer
The hearts of exiles come:
For the bees ring In their gay cups
Is like the bells OF home,
And dear lost childhood's voice of glee
They keep MS pink shells keep the sea.

churchiIrs Naive Confession.

When the late Lord Randolph
Churchill was British chancellor of
the exchequer he complained that the
clerks who were getting up the annual
budget for him did not make 1t clear
enough for his comprehension. Il
wish you would put those figures plain
ly. SO that can understand them."
he said to the clerk who laid some
data before him. The clerk mildly
protested that he had done his best
and had reduced them to decimals.

those id dots meant" said the

Automobiles and Dust.

One Of the features of the relIabil.
ity trials by the London Automobile
club at the Crystal palace was dust
trial" At three points in the banked
up circular cycle track half the road
way was covered with an inch layer
of fiourmill sweepings. One automo-
bile acted as pilot to the competing
car. in order that the speed. which
was approximately thirty miles an
hour. might be gauged. and as the
competing car few through the flour
two cameras recorded the cloud of
dust" The lesson taught by the
dust trials was that the lower and
more cumbersome the gear and boxes
under the body of the car the greater
is the dust raised.

Invents Novel street ca

Oliver Jenkins. a resident OF Clave-
land. thinks he has solved the crowd
ed car problem and asked the local
street railway to make thorough
test OF his improved vehicle. Jenkins
has worked ON the theory that one
person sitting occupies as much moor
space as three persons standing. The
main feature of his invention is the
side walls rising perpendiculariy from
the floor instead of cut under tho
seats Jenkins claims this will mako
room for 300 persons in his car. He
would add four rows OF straps for
passengers.

CRACKING A STEEL SAFE.
Operation Is Far Simpler Than It
Seems at First GLANCE

THE work OF cracking an old steel
safe has become very simple" said
an inspector of the postoffice depart
ment to Star reporter. You see"
he continued. "all the burglar has to
do is to pour nitroglycerin in the
cracks of the safe. then throw some
combustible material over it, set it
afire and get out OF the wayA In a
short time the explosion occurs and
the doors drop out as readily as II IL
were made OF pasteboard.
This method of going into a safe
is known to all the cracksmen, and
1t seldom occurs that we hear Of a
case of burglarizing a postohice in
the small towns that mas not been
accomplished in that manner. The
old method of boring into safe in
order TO insert the explosive is no
longer heard of: I do not know how
this practice can be stopped unless
greater care is taken In watching the
postoffices d, modern safes are provid-
ed. 1t is impracticable to equip all
the postoffices with modern safes, so
think the simple methods of the
burglars will be used for a long time
to come."-Washingt Star.

Agatha Andersen, a young woman
employed as lift attendant in a
large building at Christiana, Sweden,
performed striking act of heroism
the other day. A serious fire broke
out in the building. and some people
in the upper stories were cut off from
escape and screamed for help. Twice
the young woman took the elevator to
the top through the flames and smoke,
succeeding in rescuing all the impris-

she had descended for the last time
the machinery fell with a crash from

Two chefs. one named Petit and

a cooking contest. Each will serve
dinner of seven courses, the one pro-

Dowst believes in cooking without the
use Of liquors. while Petit contends
that many viands can be greatly i'm

of the men, but show whether fine
cooking can be done on lines of tee

HOW TO CHOOSE A SPONGE.
IT Is Easy to Tell a Good One From
a Bad One,


There are great many differences
between good and bad sponges." said
an importer. but the persons who
buy sponges at retail know very little
about them. In nine cases out of ten
those nicelooking bieached sponges
seen in drug store windows are a de-
lusion anu snare. The first requisite
of good sponge is that II shall be
dark In color; | don't mean almost
black. Ike carriage sponge. but a
dark yellow. A vitriol bath to bleach
a sponge white destroys its fibre. Its
elasticity Is ruined. and it wears out
much sooner.
I'm choosing a sponge. see that It
has velyety touch to the hand and
yields readily to good squeeze. The
best and most expensive sponges arc
the Leyant which come from tho Med
iterranean. The prettiest and the
cheapest are the grass sponges, made
of numberless small flaments. and
which look and feel like ball of
wool The bulk OF the sponges used
in this conntfy come from Florida and
Cuba"

AsroR SPENDS MONEY FREELY.
His House One of the Most Hosplta
BILE in Enuland

One of the most extravagant house
holds in England is that OF William
Waldorf Astor. whose son William Is
now in this country. Astor. Sr.. is
entertaing large house parties In
Cliveden. It would be hard TO excel
the Astor hospitality. A band OF ten
musicians is stationed permanently
in Cllveden. Every night this band
plays and the guests may dance or
not, as they choose. A few weeks
ago the duchess of Wellington was
the Astors' chief guest. She said
she was dying to have some ANA
teur theatricals." She wrote out a
list of costumes and the steward was
sent to london for them. A stage
was builtein the ballroom and scenes
were painted hurrledly. This enter
talnment for the duchess cost a great
deal. Since young William Astor has
been in America nothing has been
heard of him in social way. He
served in His Majesty's guards and
is as British as though he were a
John Bull by birth.
