President Roosevelt settled the con-
test for the collectorship of the port
of Charleston, S. c., over which there
has been so heated controversy, and
settled it right when on Monday he
sent to the Senate the name of DR..
William Demos Crum. The attempt
was made to prevent the nomination
of Crlm. All sorts of charges were
made. but none could be substantiated
exec pit the fact that DR.. Crum had
Negro blood in his veins, and although
the Southerners believed this fact the
most serious charge that could be
made against candidate for a public
office, President Roosevelt refused to
"close the door of hope against Afro
Americans of ability and integrity.

The term humorous has been inter-

It has been made to include poems as
Hood, and the refined, delicately phrased
verses of Locker-Lampson, or as the
srotesque comicality Of Gilbert @t, and the

It is interesting to observe how the
public taste has changed. In, the eight
dominant influence of Pope led to the
substitution of pithy, satirical epigrams
for the broader, comic manner Wh1ch pre-

The fondness for epigram persisted well

YOUNG ITALIAN DROWNED.
Rather in Mill River Met With Sac h' Fate.

Rather in Mill River Met With Sad '@' Fate.
 Michael Cocerell, eleven years old, of 191 Hamilton street, was drowned in Mill river at $50 yesterday afternoon. He. with two or three other young com- panions, was in bathing in the river at the foot of Walnut street, just to the right of Tin bridge. They started to wade out to a boat called the Emma. which was anchored in the middle of the stream.
 None of the boys could swim, and young Cocerell stepped into one of the holes in the bed of the river and sank from sight. His companions tried to save him, but as none of them could swim he drowned before help could reach him.
 One of his companions notified the Grand avenue police and search was made for the body. A large crowd of Italians procured boats and made an attempt to find the body, working near- ly all night, but up to press time it had not been found.
