Judge Parker's Opening Gun.

"tJurrah for our next President?' With
this crv Judge Parker of New York was
received at the Atlanta railway station
yesterday Details do not go 50 far, but
we may be very certain that the cry was
hearty, and that 1t pleased the distin-
guished gentleman in whose honor 1t was
raised. Why not?
This visit of the New York jurist as The
Star pointed out the other day, Is purely
political He is man of high standing at
home and as judge enjoys the respect OF
the entire state. But his attractive perso-
nal character and his distinction on the
bench would not of themselves have re-
commended him to the special consideration
of the Georgians at this time. He Is their
guest today as the result of the mention of
his name in connection with the presidency,
and because of the expression of belief
on the part of many New York democrats
that with him as the candidate democratic
prospects next year would be exceedingly
bright Georgia wants to win. and there
fore wants to take her own measure or this
reputed promising man.
There may be some criticism OF Judge
Parker for responding to this curiosity, but
1t will not injure him. Why should 1t!
The presidency is a great office. Many or
our greatest men have aspired to 1t. Some
of them have at the time been occupants
of the bench. No member Of the bench has
ever been nominal ted for the office. but this
fact Is no warrant for assuming that no
member of the bench ever will be nomi-
mated for 1t. Judge Parker may prove to
be the extraordinary exception to the rule.
At any rate he is factor in the coming
presidential fight. and 1t is good to see him
courageously taking stand In the open. He
wants to be leader, and with the leaders
stand a band of friends behind him, and a
nomination in his hand.
Some years ago, when David B. Hill was
a candidate for his party's presidential
nomination, he went south by invitation
and delivered an address. 1t failed. how
ever to create any enthusiasm. The peo-
pile were expecting something of a sky
scraping character. But Mr.. Hill, being
man of solid parts. and not mere sky
scraper, gave them something in his own
line VIII Judge Parker as speaker
prove disappointing? He will not of course
be tried by the standards OF popular pol1ti-
cal oratory. but the south likes ginger and
eloquence even In a judge. Friday Is the
day for the address. and, while delivered In
Georgia 1t will be read all over the country.

Queen Summer,

She is with US again with her roses and
skies
That shine like the love In a lass bright
eyes;
Our fair benefactress that brings US good
cheer,
The hope of our hearts and the queen OF
the year.
The cloud touched by twilight Is raiment
most rare,
The stars strangely bright are her jewels
so fair,
And the tiniest ant and the mightiest man
Rejoice in the fruits of her generous plan.

Chicago, May 22.-Congressman
William Lorimer has majority of H.
OO1 over A. c. Durborow, according to
the figures of the recount of the ba.-
lots, which was completed Wednesday
evening after thirty days of work. His
majority according to the official cars

sixteen more.
These are the figures according TO
watchers who kept tally for Mr.. Lori
mer and Mr.. Durborow during the re-
count. The second canvass Of the votes
was finished In the Office of County
Clerk Olson Wednesday evening.
Those present at the finish were Mo-

been apparent that the recount would

\ HOFFMAN APPEAL FILED.
Cherokee Murderer Seeking to Escape
the Gallows.

Des Moines, May 22.-Abstracts were
flied yesterday with the supreme court
in the case.of the State vs. Harry Hort
man of Cherokee. This Is one OF the
murder cases now pending in Iowa, in
which the death penalty has been im-
posed In the lower court. Hortman
shot and killed his sweetheart. Florence
Porter, in C. Z. Whites restaurant at
Cherokee, Nov. 80, 1901. He was SEN
fenced to hang March -, of this year,
but owing to the appeal to the supreme
court the execution was postponed. One
of the peculiar features of the case is
that Hortman pleaded guilty, on the as
surance of his attorney that the death
penalty would not be Inflicted. Later,
he became apprised that he was in dan
ger of sentence to death, and he sought
to withdraw the plea. Judge Wakefield
would not permit this, and he was
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and the death penalty imposed.
1t is alleged by the defense that the re-
fusal to permit the plea. of guilty to be
Withdrawn was an error.
Hortman is now in prison at Ana
nlosa, and is in a weak state OF health,
owing to lung troubles.

Ambassador Mccormick Says
Government Gave Assur-
ances About Manchuria
INTERRoeA7ED ON THE SUBJECT
Russia Assures Mccormick That There
Is No Desire to Close Ports to the
United States or Any Other Power
Situation in the Far East Not
Serious.


London, May 22,-Ambassador Nc
Cormick is here for few days on his
way from ST Petersburg to America
The st. james Gazette today prints an
interview with Mccormick, in which he
is quoted as saying: One of my last
official acts before leaving st. Peters
burg. was to interrogate the Russian
government on its policy towards
Manchuria. l was assured that Russia
lad no desire that the Man
cnurian ports be closed to the Uni
ted States or to have its consuls eX-
cluded. The Russian government is
emphatic in declaring they We're as one
with America in the open door policy
in China and which, If 1t applies to
the United States. must apply to every
other power.
You dc, not consider then that the
situation in the far east is in any way
serious on account of Russia's policy
in Manchuria? Il do not. / can see
nothing at present which need alarm
the United States or any other eoun-
try. Mccormick added that the re-
lations between the United States and
Russia at the present moment were
of the most friendly character.

Average Monthly Salary

"In most places the ninth, elghtn anu
tirst grades are paid more than the 9th
sers. but there seems to be no common
ground in fixing the relative salaries OF
the grades. Fifteenth of the OF pay all
grades alike. Saginaw, Blnghampton
and Elmira pay each grade $50, ches-
ter. McKeesport and Schenectady $55'
Fitchburg $50, Kansas City, Kan, $o7,
Topeka, Peoria, Terre Haute, Akron,
Springfield. Ohio; and Chelsea S60, and
Lincoln $40 per month.
"Other places discriminate very de-
cidedly against the lower grades. Allen
town pays $40 in each of the four upper
grades and under $50 In the rest. VIII
Transport pays $50 in each of the four
upper and but $S5 in the second, third,
fourth and fifth. New Britain pays
$40 in each of the three upper grades
and but SIG in the rest"
No such exhaustive report mas peen
made in any city of the state as relat-
ed to the pay of teachers in the grade
schools and this report has attracted
the attention of educators all over the
state. A great deal of space VIII be
devoted to this matter In the forth
coming report of the state educational
department. The report OF the council
committee will relate perhaps little
more to the rural schools than to the
grade schools, but will cover both
classes of teachers.

tice the flush that suffused her face as
she inquired:
Did you say Mr. Nathan Hender-
SON."
The fact was that Mrs. Hyar was
none other than Henderson's former
wife. to whom he had been married for
ty three years before, and from whom.
he had been divorced thirty-seven
years Although well preserved. the
widow was so different at SO from what
she had been at %, when he had last
her, all unconscious that he was paying
court to his former wife.
The widow had the advantage be-
cause Henderson had not the disguise
of another name. She did not tell him
who she was but before the reception
was at an end granted his request for
permission to call.
He took advantage OF the permission
to call next day and WAS amazed when
he was greeted as Nat by his new
acquaintance. Explanations followed
and the couple came to the conclusion
that their separation OF long ago had
been huge mistake.
Il think the most sensible thing to
do is to get married again at once said
