The first thing sprung today was

participated in by all the democratic

The democrats ultimatum was a prop

'epublicans in which the former agree

Ball for the long term Senatorship anG

ountable reason, the ultimatum fail

QUEER MAIL FOR PRESIDENT.
michael, King of Heaven" One OF
His COrrcRpondents.

The president gets a large number OF
fake" or queer letters every day
from insane people all over the United
States and Europe. The executive re-
ceives a great quantity of mail, bit Few
people have an idea of the amount OF
this fake mail that it falls TO the lot
of the presidents secretaries to open.
The mail for the president is handled
in the official mail room at the city
postofice in Washington, D. c., and Is
delivered at the White House by a spe-
cial carrier detailed from the force Of
employees at the executive mansion.
There are six letter cases in this room,
and each case containS one box for the
mail of the president and his family.
The number of letters for the President
alone runs from three to four hundred
a day, and from ten to fifteen of these
are the fake letters"
There is one man out in Callfornia
who has been writing to the various
presidents for a number of years. he
numbers each letter. and the last re-
ceived was No. $50. In the upper left
hand corner is written the rather start
ling nformation. From Jesus Christ
One of these missives was opened some
time ago by permission of the presi-
dent secretary and found to contain
only a number of unintelligible hero
glyphics something like shorthand. OF
| course they find their way ultimately
into the waste paper basket at the
White House. but they are not allow
ed 70 be destroyed at the postnfice.
Another fake who has also been
writing to the presidents for long years
scorns envelopes and stamps and fuses
postal cards altogether. If he Go5s not
finish what he has TO say on one he
k another, numbering them conSec-
urively. Sometimes he uses as many
as five or six. He signs himself
Michael. King of Heaven" and his
communications are usually in the form
of commands to the president on the
way in which the United States should
be run. During the period of the Span
ish war he wrote almost daily and gave
orders as to the movements of the fleets
in Asiatic waters.
Not very long ago a letter was re-
ceived addressed to George Washing

Letters come addressed TO the president

Infantfle Diplomacy.

Apropos of the recent retirement of
King Oscar of Sweden, a story Is told.
Lately the King was inspecting a class
Of young girls, who were naturally
much overcome by a visit from their
sovereign.
Can you tell me, asked King Oscar
the names Of the great kings of Swe-
den?'
"Gustavus Adolphus," answered one
girl.
Carries XII" responded another.
Oscar H." stammered the smallest,
who was something of a courtier in her
way.
The King, much amused, went up to
her and asked her to tell him one Of the
great events of his reign. The child
blushed. hesitated and finally In tears,
murmured:
Il don't know any"
The king, smiling, stroked the child's
hair and said:
Don't cry, ear 1 don't know any
myself."-Exchange.

A Moral That Was Lost.

d you see that man on the other
side of the street," asked the Prohibi-
zionist. according to The Chicago Post.
THE one in rags and tatters?"
Yes. 1 tell you there's a moral In
his life"
You known him."
Il used to go to college with him
and he was one of the brightest fell
lows there; but he drank. He had a
friend there who was a clever fellow,
too. and who never touched a drop.
There was considerable good natured
rivalry between them as to which
should be at the head Of the class.
During the first term it was d pretty
even thing, but the habits of the fell
low who drank were too much for him,
and. he began 10 go down hill. In the
second year he dropped Off a little, and
in the third a little more, and finally
graduated at the foot Of his class. Oh,
it is a pitiful thing! All the time he
was going down his abstemious friend
was going up. He graduated with
honors. Now the brighter of the two is
doing jobs for a living, while the
friend-"
The good man paused suddenly as il
he had recollected something.
We'll, where is the friend now?"
"Why-why-um-aw--I believe he's
in Jail for fraud. Pardon me! I'm In
a great hurry"
And the good man walked hastily
away.

SUPPOSED KIDNAPPER.
Wilson Policeman Gets Into
Trouble for Being Over-ZealOus.

The train from Wilmington yester-
day had for a passenger a well-dressed
lady about fifty years of age. She got
off the train here to wait for train No.
Is, which was behind schedule time. TIC
while away the time and for the pur-
pose OF seeing something of our city,
and also to get some refreshments. she
sauntered UP the street. not, however.
before she had emplode a big burly
negro to carry a large basket she had
with her. On her ~meanderings she met
Officer Ephraim Harrell and inquired
where the best was located
He politely directed her to Wilson'S
caterer, Mr.. c. B. Ruffin. h then in
StruCted the negro to take up the baS-
ket and lead the way. AS the negro
moved off Mr.. Harrell heard a sound
issuing from the basket that aroused
his suspicious. At this juncture CHER
MarShbOurne came up and Eph re-
quested him to keep an eye on the kid
nappeI, saying he would procure a
warrant for her arrest. After refresh
ing the. inner woman she Wended her
way back to the depot and hid the has
ket in a secluded spot. The eagla-eyed
officers, however, had her spotted and
with the warrant they knew it was an
easy matter to make the arrest.
Eph says to the chief: Tim, you be-
ing my superior officer. I think it your
duty to make the arrest" Jim re
piled: NO. Eph, o swore out the
warrant and know what the lady is to
be arrested for, while 1 NOW nothing
about the case"
III tell you" says Ephraim, that
woman is a kidnapper. and she has a
child in that basket, and l wouldn't
fool you" The chief tried to persuade
the over-zealous Harrell that no child
was in the basket. He only got this
for an answer: Look here, John. you
know | am not much on talking to la
dies, but I've had babies enough at my
house to know When l hear on
squall."
The chief then. in q g~entlenanly
manner. approached the supposed kid
napper and said, Madam, it is my
painful duty to inform you that yO':
are acting in a very suspicious manner
and that mysterious sounds have beer
heard to come from that big basket:
would you mind if J examined ito
Not at oil sir: YOU are ct liberty tc
expose me if you are so heartlaSe'
Just here Ephraim screwed up his
courage and replied. Yes. madam
our duty is imperative and I will not
wait for my chief to take the initiative
but will expose you to the world"
He then opened the basket and found
that it contained about sixty pounds O
