ROOSEVELT DENIES IT.

ROOSEVELT'S LATEST BREAK.
Says He VIII See Tennessee Senator in He'll Before Civ
ing Him Any Patronage.

Washington, March 3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in talking with a
delegation of Tennesseans who call
ed on him, took occasion to declare
that he would see Senator Carmack
Gin he'll" before he would give him
any patronage.
He subsequently modified the de-
claration by saying he presumed he
should have used the word "hades"
instead of "hell."
This declaration was entirely
gratuitous on the part of the presi-
dent. Senator Carmack had asked
him for no patronage. He has con-
sistently kept away from the white
house. Some of his criticism OF the
administration and of the presi-
dent have been so severe, that the
president feels deep resentment to-
ward him.
The way the presidents remark
happened to be made was this:
A delegation of Tenneeseans went
to the white house in behalf of Mr..
Morgan, of that state, who aspires
to be upon the canal commission.
President Roosevelt listened to
what these gentlemen had to say
in behalf of Morgan, and then said
he would be glad to consider their
wishes.
But" he went on to say, "there
is one member of your delegation
whom / would see in hell before l
would give him any patronage"
That Tennessean, he made clear,
was the senator who loses no OPP
portunity to criticise the action of
the president and his party. Sen
ator Carmack would not discuss
the episode today, further than to
say that gentlemen in the party
had reported to him, what had oc-
CURED.
at was an entirely uncalled for
declaration on the presidents par"
said Senator Carmack.
"Since 1 have asked him for moth
ing and do not intend to ever ask
at his hands had so ex-
pressed myself TO my friend, Mr.
Morgan, before the party went to.
the white house in his behalf. Il
have not asked anything from the
president, nor would l, and 1 do
not care to criticise any statement
he may have made lind sufficient
opportunity and sufficient occasion /
to 90 that in the senate. Atlanta |

two after 1t occurred and went to
Messrs. Richardson and Gaines
separately and asked them about it.
"Mr. Richardson said that he
had not intended to speak of it
and that Mr. Gaines had proposed
after they LETT the White House
that they should not mention it. l
said to him that if it was true
ought to know It; that while I had
never asked anything of the
president and had not troubled
him with my presence at the White
House, | thought he could see that
1t was important to me as a senator
to know whether or not the president
had used language so offensive and
insulting concerning myself; that
| had no particular feeling about
the matter, as cared nothing for
the presidents opinion of me butt
would be a fac; to guide me in my
future relations with the White
House.
"Mr. Richardson then said that
the president did not call my name,
but that he and all the rest of them
understood that be referred to me,
and since | had heard of it he
thought it was due me that i
should hear the true story He then
told me of the incident substantially
as it has been published in the
newspapers, except that after the
president had nearly got the word
hell out Of his mouth he checked
himself and changed it to hades and
that he did not call my name
"Of course l knew the gentleman
told the truth, and no mans denial
can make me believe otherwise. The
president, of course, is at liberty to
say that he referred to some other
senator OF representative from
Tennessee, although the gentlemen
present, had reason to believe IL
referred TO me. The effect upon nv
feelings IS the same whether the
reference was to me or to any Of my
colleagues in either house. 1t was
an unprovoked and entirely
gratuitous afront to the whole State.
for there IS no man in the whole
delegation, democrat or republican.
who does not bear the character of
an honest man and a gentleman
and who has not conducted himself
as such in all his relations with
the administration.

GYPSY SCHOLARSHIP.

The late Charles Godfrey Leland was probably the only American example of the gipsy scholar-a class represented in England by George Borrow and the late Francis Hinda Groome. Like both these students of gypsy lore, he served his day in journalism, pursued no line of investigation to it's end. and among specialists left an impression of great inaccuracy. And yet we should look to men of his kind rather to entertain ment and for wisdom of general sort than for specific information. It may be sentimentalism, but there is a per- sfstent charm in that scholarship the material of which is the roadside, it's li- brary the open air. and it's bibliography the memories and musings of the adept. Certainly, such learning seems to make a more human appeal than the formal studies of the schools, and those who, like Leland. heard Of Virgil, the Ma gician, from the lips of the Calabrian peasantry, will always seem nearer to reality than the men of card indexes. These gypsy scholars, too, are living protest, and a needed one, against an age which is increasingly dominated by apparatus-both Persian and scholastic. New York Post.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
IMPORTANT DIVORCE QUESTION
 TO BE SETTLED.

Are Dakota Divorce DeeFees Valid In
 This state.-Sutt Over PianO-Jndg-
 mont on Note Cass-Other Legal Items.
 Judge William s. Case. of the supe- rior court, will b ecaiied upon soon to decide in Bridgeport one of the most important divorce questions which has come before the courts of the state. He will be asked to decide whether or not the courts of this jurisdiction re- cognize as valid the divorces granted in South Dakota.
 The case in which the question is in- volved is the suit of Samuel Andres Weed, of Norwalk, against Daisy Gardner Weed, of Stamford, on the grounds of desertion and infidelity, naming Charles Franklin Bates as the Correspondent This infidelity dates from June 3, 1897. The technical point is involved in this last charge, for on the date stated she was married to MT. Bates. The question is whether or not this marriage is lnegal. The legal ity depends on the recognition of the divorce, which was granted a Fargo, North Dakota, by Judge Charles A. Pollock, January Il, 1897, or about five months previous to the marriage with MT. Bates.

WHAT WILL WOMEN DO

l Women are going to get their chance new in Australia. By a law of the corn- monweaith an adult woman has the same right to vote as an adult man. The male voters in the entire common wealth outnumber the female by near ly 120,0O0 (973,000 to S54,000,) but in the colony of Victoria, as we'll as in the cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the women have very decided majority. If there is anything in female suffrage we should see it now. Moral reforms should not go begging for support. If Australia does not become as dry and thirsty land from the beer and whisky drinkers point of view as it lately was from the cattle raiser's it will have to be because the ladies themselves are seriously divided on the question. It is anticipated that they will go in strongly for socialistic legislation. We shall see.--MontreaI Star.

THE MuSTACHE.

A late fad among women is the read ing of male character by observations at not too close range of the mustaches of their masculine acquaintances. It is held that when mustache is ragged and, as it were. flying hither and thither, there is a lack of self-control When it Is straight and orderly the reverse is the case. If there is 8 tendency to curl at the outer ends of the mustache there is g. tendency to ambition, vanity and display. When the curl turns upward there is geniality. When the inclination is downward there is more sedate turn of mind, not unaccompanied with gloom.-Detroit News.
