Serious Accident.

who figured so prominently in the
Burdick murder mystery at Buffa-
10, n. Y, was instantly killed Tues
day afternoon and his wife ia
tally injured by an automobile in
which they were riding plunging
over steep bluff. just before start
ing on the trip Pencil talked over
the telephone with some one about
the murder case. The only known
witnesses to the tradgedy were two
boys, who say that Pennell's hat
blew off an instant before the au-
tomobile plunged over the preci-
pice, and this testimony is taken
to indicate that the fatality was an
accident

chine leaders are going to get to-
gether. Then there will be some
thing doing.
If Hanna, who las been giving
Teddy all the rope he wanted,
means, as seems probable, to throw
that bucking youngster in next
years's Republican convention,
these cd allies in Kentucky may
be depended on to deliver the
goods from this department of the
political field.
The truth is, Roosevelt had plen
ty of high ideals, but he couldn' Z
put them into practice. He had
great confidence in his owa ability
and he rushed in with a reckless
disregard of consequences where
angels like Hanna feared to tread.
Result, Teddy is all balled up; he
has gone to writing cards defend
ing his course. He says in sub
stance that he is right, and being
right, it must follow that all who
do not agree With him are wrong
He says Gen. Duke is his ideal OF
political sagacity in Kentucky
and Duke is man of high cour-
age and fine talent-but he dosen't
mix much with Bill Brady and
Gus Wilson and Dick Wood and
all those old wheel-horses who
have been there since long before
Teddy became famous for STUN
bling into the line of fire in the
brush back of San Juan.
They are setting it up on Teddy,
and those old campaigners, eros
venor, Dick, Hanna, Fairbanks and
the rest; and the practical Repuo-
lican politicians in Kentucky knows
that any deal made with them
"goes," just as surely after the
election as before. Nobody know
what Roosevelt will do. They all
know that he thinks any sort OF
Democrat in the South is better
than any Republican, and so they
are all quietly getting the word
from their "Uncle Mark" and act.
ing accordingly. Collector Craft
and United States Marshal SHARP
and Gen. Duke and Dick Knott
won't know they are live when the
stalwarts get through fixing up the
next delegation from Kentucky tC
the national convention. The
Mckinley machine (or the Hanna
machine il you piease) hasn't gone
out of business; it is just "layin
low and waiting for the word,

Grapes.

To eat grape a minute for an
hour at time, and to repeat this
performance three or four times a
day, eating very little else mean
time but dry bread, may seem G
monotonous way of spending the
time. This treatment works Won
ders for thin, nervous anemic peo-
pie whose digestions have got out
of order from worry or overwork.
1t is no mere quack prescription,
but form Of cure recognized and
advised by many well knowy ply
sicians. Grapes are, perhaps the
most diggessts;bis Of any fruit in ex-
istence.

REPUBLICANS

To Settle Before Election.
% Many Ex-Democrats in Posi-
lions of Trust-Won't Stand
RooSeYelt's Ways.

All the political signs in Ken
lucky point to an Roosevelt
movement In the Republican party.
There is great, though unossenta-
tious, dissatisfaction among the
Republicans with the course that
the President has pursued in the
matter of Federal patronage There
is too much independent Democra-
cy to the fore, and too little consid-
Grafton for the diners, the boys
who ran with the machine when it
was very small and very rickety
machine, and when there was little
OF credit and less of profit in run
ming with it.
President Roosevelt is very pos
tive in his conviction-as is quite
natural with him-that he knows
who is who in Kentucky and what
is what. From his view point Gen.
Basil Duke is 'who'' and Richard
w. Knott is what" Bradley and
Wilson, and a hundred more whom
the Republicans have always re-
garded as leaders, are sent to the
rear by the young man on horse
back, and that stenuous young
person imagines that his ipse dixit
put them out of the game. John

ident's ear, and he has been
smothered away in the office of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
where he is only a sort of first
class clerk to the Secret ary of the
Treasury, who is himself only a
sort of chief clerk to the father of
the family that is overcrowding
the White House.
But there is an old man with
short legs and a shorter neck who
has been in politics for long time,
Some of the older readers may re-
member him-Hanna is his name
Marcus Aurelius Hanna, once ia
miliarlY known as mark" with or
without the s. He was the whole
works up to the time that McKin-
ley's tragic death caused the young
amateur politician, literary dabbler
and cowboy to be tossed body,
breaches and sombrero into the
chief magistracy of the nation. He
had well-matured plan at that
time for having Senator Fairbanks,
of Indiana, nominated as McKin-
ley's successor. To those who can
believe that Mark Hanna would be
bluffed into cold perspiration and
paralyzed by the spectacle, or spec
tacles, Of Teddy in the Presidency
there will be nothing preposterous
in the assumption of the kid glove
element of the Yerkes Knott varie-
ty that Mr.. Roosevelt has taken en-
tire charge of the Republican par
ty, but there are they who know
better,
The Republicans of Kentucky
who were so summarily sent to the
rear are very much alive, and the
United States mails furnish ready
means of communication between
them and their old friends Hanna
and Fairbanks. Dick Gwathney,
Charlie Sapp and many others in
Kentucky have full confidence even
now in the ability of Hanna and
his friends to control the next ma
tional convention And DR.. Hun
ter, who had a strong hold upon
Mckinley and Hanna, has severed
his relations with the present adj
ministration and will soon return
to Kentucky. He says he is out of
politics, which, being interpreted,
means that he is IN pcl:::os-vely.
And Dick Gwathney is arranging

is MARKED by a marble slab. He
happened to see in a boarding school
in Portugal Miss Menina Perestrel-
10 whose sweet witchery led him to
her island home where he married
her in 1873
This languid tropical land has
always been one of romance. From
tiine deck or the ship can discern
the little church builtover the grave
of Robert Machim and Anna d'Ar-
fet who first landed upon the is
iands 1914. They were ardent low
ers, and fleeing from irate parents,
eloped in little boat from England
for the shores of France, but drift
ing from their course, were strand
ed on these unknown islands, where
in undisputed empire, amidst sing
ing birds and unfading flowers they
lived happily and died in the
Christian hope. 1t is well that
they sleep together under the mem
orial dome of this little church.
The island seems to be a great
volcanic dyke pushed up in fantas-
tic forms and fragments from the
oceans bed, many peaks capped
with snow, rising six thousand
feet. In 1915 the great Napoleon
was brought to Funchal before be-
ing imprisoned on ST. Helena.
The peculiar and vivacious pop
ulation is a mixed blood of Moors,
Portuguese and Negroes, all under
the spiritual rule of the Catholic
Bishop with staff of a hundred
priests.
This is the native soil of the
English walnut. Oranges, Lemons,
Figs, Bananas and other tropical
fruits abound. California roses
must yield the palm to Madeira,
and the groves of geraniums 20
and 30 feet high whose profuse and
brilliant bloom knows no change of
season, find no rival on earth,
The stately form cf the fan palm
and unique trunk and crown of the
date, tower above the ripening
fruits of orchards, and add the
charm of tropical elegance to the
luxuriant gardens of riotous flow
ers and sparkling fountains.
Hundreds of importunate natives
in little boats surround our steam
er with their wares, trinkets and
souvenirs, shouting, singing and
gesticulating incessantly. Scores
of them have diyed head-foremost
from our upper decks into the
ocean. Passengers throw nickels
and dimes into the sea, which they
bring up between their toes and
deposit in their mouths-their only
pocket books.

LABOR UNPROTECTED.

"The House passed bill provid-
ing an educational test to migrants
coming into this country, so that
American labor might be protected
against the pauper labor of Europe.
The Senate struck the provision
out of the House bill and though
the Republican party continues the
legislation on the statute books
that protects the great trusts from
competition abroad, they have re-
fused to enact legislation protect
ing the American workingman
from the competition of the incom-
ing pauper immigration of Europe.
Notwithstanding the fact that they
were pledged to enact Legislation to
build an Isthmian Canal, and did
pass a bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to commence the building of a
canal eiUner at Panama or Nicara-
qua, they have been unable to so
legislate up to the present time
that this work may be begun.

DEMOCRATS
Say No Burdens Were Lifted
and That
Republicans Regulated Every Party
Pledge.

Representative Underwood, Of
Alabama, the Democratic whin and
representative of the minority par
ty on the committee on rules, after
conference on the subject with
Floor Leader, Richardson, of Ten
nessee, gave out the following state
ment representing the Democrats in
Congress-:
Notwithstanding the increas-
ing balances in the Treasury and
the enormous surplus now carried
by the Government in national
banks, the Republican party made
no effort whatever In this Congress
to reduce the tariff or the burdens
of taxation.
"They have admittedly failed to
pass effective trust legislation.
The House passed the Littlefield
anti trust bill, and the Republic
cans of the Senate, by strict par
ty vote, refused to consider it.
RAILROADS LET ALONE.
"They have made no attempt to
pass legislation to give the Inter
state Commerce Commission addi-
tional powers TO regulate railroad
tariffs.
"They have deprived 100000
people in Oklahoma and 200, 900
people in Arizona and New Mexico
of the right to govern themselves
and to participate in the General
Government, and they have failed
to pass any legislation for the re-
Lief of the business interests in the
Philippines.
CAT the beginning of this session
the President emphasized the i'm
portance of doing justice to the
Republic of Cuba by a reduction of
the tariff taxes on Commerce pass
ing between the United States and
the island, and urged the passage
of a reciprocity treaty to remedy
existing evils. His party ignored
the request.
