White House Notes

A most charming incident took place
at the White House to-day, says the
New York Evening Post. 1t was rain
ing, and little Quentin, the Presidents
youngest son, was kept in with a cold.
He was badly in need of amusement,
and suddenly he remembered his re-
cent visit to the Smithsonian, and the
skeleton of the Dinosaur he had seen
there. OF course, it was impossible for
him to go out in the rain, but he in
sisted that it would not hurt the Din
osaur to be brought to him. At first
there was disposition to refuse him,
and an attempt was made to divert his
attention with a steam roller in the
East Room; but some of the masons
employed abut the place saw the visit
full look in the boys eyes and offered
to take down the side of the building
so as to let the Dinosaur in. 1t was
almost pathetic to see how grateful
Quentin was. When the skeleton ar
rived, he climbed up and sat astride
on a rib.
IT'S good for the blues to look at
him." said one of the masons, as he
wiped the mortar from his trowel
The British ambassador called at the
White House to-day, 1t having been
enormously reported that the Presi-
dent was going away.
Hi" said the boy. You want to
see my father?"
The ambassador said that such was
the intent OF his call.
well, you can't" said Kermit.
pleasantly. He's out in Yellowstone
Park. riding. DO you want to see how
he rides?" and the spirited boy cans
with running leap. landing on tn
ambassadors back
Get up, there" he shouted, andfit
was really a beautiful sight, the an
bassador of an empire trotting sfyay
toward the gate, with the boy OF his
back pulling his ears to make Inn go
faster.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Columbia Is. c. Record (Dem.)
says: The Supreme Court has off,
cially declared the Alabama suffrage
law constitutional. AS it Is pretty
much the same as the suffrage acts of
other Southern states, it would be a
grateful relief if politicians would quit
talking about it,"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Admiral Schley declares that the only
complaint he has to make of his tour
through the West is that his hosts
made him do too much talking 1t is,
however, to the credit of the Admiral
that though his mouth was thus open
good deal he never once put his foot
in (which is more than can be said
of numerous gentlemen with far great
er pretensions to oratorial ability"
The Norfolk Cva) Landmark (Dem)
says: THE big nations do not fight
nowadays. They manoeuvre constant
ly for position. When one of them
discerns an opportunity to grab an at
tractive stretch of land inhabited only
by barbarians, the deed is done unless
some other nation manages to get
there at the same time. In that event,
the spells are divided. But weak
countries are attacked in this noble
age"
The Montgomery (Ala~) Advertiser
Dem.). discussing presidential possi-
bilities, says: LAS TO the young man,
Hearst, we see but little use to
argue of or about him. He has been
diligently engaged of late in the work
OF pushing himself towards the front.
in which occupation he has received lit
tie but ridicule. except from those pa
pers which hope to gain something
from the Hearst newspapers. It would
be as impossible to elect him as II
would be to elect Bryan himself and
would be less creditable to the party.
However, we are not fearing that the
Democratic party Will go into the sui
eide business In 1904"

Once there was a little girl who was
always saying naughty things, and a
wise fairy cast an enchantment upon
her, so that each time she spoke nox-
ious lizards, snakes, toads and other
reptiles seemed to leap from her
mouth, says Judge.
And there was another little girl
who was always saying nice things,
and the same wise fairy so wove her
spells that diamonds and rubies and
money fell from this girls mouth
when she would talk.
And what became of these girls?
The first one was engaged by an
astute dime museum manager and be-
came fabulously rich.
The second one was gobbled up by
trust that made her talk herself to
death.

The British protest against British
sails for the American cup defender
seems to us to be well based. The fun
damental idea of those who instituted
the international races was to provide
for a test of merit as between yachts
constructed by builders of the different
nationalities, not to see which of GER
tain clubs could Procure a boat faster
than other boats. 1t was their purpose
to pit distinctively British boats against
distinctively American boats. If the
Reliance were to win the races carry
ing sails from an English firm, it might
be claimed. and with reason, that the
credit was due as much to those who
made the sails as to those who made
the hull. There should be an effort to
preserve the nationality of the craft
contesting for the blue ribbon of the
sea-" Boat, rigging and crew should
be representative of the best the ma
ton can put out. There has lately
been rather too much of the sugges-
ton that the Americas Cup race is a
contest between clubs, instead of be-
tween countries.

The theatrical season just ended is
said to have been one of great pros
perity, and the outlook is SO good that
there are at present in course of con-
struction in the United States theater
buildings that will cost when COM
pleted no less than $1S,000,O 900. OF
this amount IS, 500, 900 is to be expend-
ed in the city of New York alone for
twelve new houses. During the past
season there were in the country, open
for business, 2.18S theaters and opera
houses. OF this number Georgia has
81, Alabama TO- Florida 10, South

York, of course, leads in the number
of theaters, with $50. Pennsylvania
has 162 and Ohio ISL.

Since last November the price of sill
yer has risen almost is per cent. The
price day or two ago was "a cents
per ounce. This increase has set the
treasury officials at Washington to
thinking. They are apprehensive with
respect to the value of the new coins
for the Philippine Islands. Should the
price, now "a cents per ounce, rise five
cents more the bullion value of the
coins would be above their legal value
as fixed by the government and there
might result a boarding of the coins.
The explanation given at the Treas
ury Department for the increase in
the price of silver is that it was caused
by the purchase of bullion to provide
for the coming of 100000 new pesos
for the Philippines.

ONE WAY TO FIGHT THE BEEF
TRUST.

Permission has been granted to a
York city to be operated in opposition
to the beef trust. This is one way
in which the people can make their
opposition to that trust felt.
1t is stated, and as far as we are
informed the statement is correct,
increase in the price of beef. The in
crease is an indication of the inten-
tioE of the meat packers to do as they
please in fixing the prices of their
products
Why is it that the butchers of Sa-
vannah cannot pursue the course that
is being pursued in New York to
check the greed of the trust? There
was a time, not very long ago. when
each butcher in Savannah had his
own slaughter house. 1t might not
be advisable at this time to have so
many slaughter houses, but arrange
ments for one slaughter house. large
enough to accommodate all the butchers,
could easily be made.
1t might be said that there are no
cattle in this section of the country.
If there is an impression of that kind
it is a mistaken one. There is an
abundance of cattle, though, owing TO
the lack of demand, the PERCENTAGE
that is fit for market is not very large.
If the local market were better at
tention would be given to raising and
fattening cattle for home consumption.
1t is the understanding that at the
present time the cattlemen of the
West buy all the young cattle they
can in the South and ship them to
the West where they are fattened.
1t seems to us that they could be
fattened just as well here in the
South. 1t is true there is a lack of
corn for that purpose, but now that
cassava is coming into use as a food
for fattening cattle and hogs, cattle
could be prepared for the butcher at
much less cost here than they could
be shipped to the West and prepared
for market there.
If the beef trust can ship our young
cattle to the West and fatten them
there and send the oarcasses of these
cattle back and sell them here in the
South there would be a big profit in
fattening and slaughtering Southern
cattle at home.
This is a matter to which our farm
ers and butchers ought to give their
attention. The South is losing mill
lions of dollars every year by the policy
of selling her young cattle to the
West and then buying meat from that
section. The thing for the Southern
people to do in this matter is to raise
and fatten their own cattle and have
slaughter houses of their own.

A high officer OF the navy, whose
name is withheld for obvious reasons,
is. quoted IN a Washington letter as
expressing the opinion that we have
not yet heard the last of bursting guns
on United States warships. Frank
ly," he says. II expect many more
accidents like those on the Iowa and
the Massachusetts. / expect gun after
gun to burst. not only expect it
but am sure of it. The guns have seen
their best days. In case of a battle
there is serious danger that they would
do more harm to tine Jacxies than TO
the enemy" He explained that, US
ing the powerful snlokeless powder, the
life of a gun is limited to a COMPARE
lively few shots. Many of the guns
ON the ships now in commission have
been fired pretty nearly the number
OF times necessary to wearing them
out and making them dangerous or
useless. This is especially true of the
guns of large calibre. He says the of
f1cers of the navy are afraid of the
heavy guns and believes the time is
coming when large calibre pieces will
be Thrown out as rapidly as possible.
Smaller guns-eight inches and under
he considers the safest and most eff
fective arms in the service.

The death of Stuart Robson, the
comedian, will be regretted by con-
tinentful of people. He was, and de-
servedly, a favorite in all sections OF
the country. Indeed, his coming to the
smaller cities was regarded as an event
of the theatrical season. His humor
of an inimitable rendition, was infec-
tious and invariably sent his auditors
home in good humor with themselves
and the world. In connection with Mr..
Robson's death it is of interest to re-
call that he was a boyhood friend and
companion of Arthur P. German, now
Democratic leader and senator from
Maryland, and that the two earned
their first dollars together as pages in
the Senate. The stage fascinated Rob-
son, as politics fascinated German,
and each chose and followed his career
according to his bent. Both achieved
high distinction. Mr.. Robson stood in
the very front rank of his profession
while German is a senator and may be
President.
