st. Paul, Mimi, April IAN Incl
dent that happened during the recent
visit of President Roosevelt to this
CITY indicates that any anarchist who
contemplates mixing up with the
chief magistrate will find himself
against a game which two can play.
After the speaking at Minneapolis
there was a rush for wraps, and by
mistake Governor Van SAINT put on
tiie presidents coat. 1t did not seem
to fit very we'll and the governor put
his hands in the pockets to adjust the
garment. He was somewhat surprised
to find in the right-hand pocket re-
volver of large caliber and was then
certain he had chosen the wrong coat.
Meanwhile the president was strug-
Cling with a misfit coat and an ex-
change was quickly effected.
When the governor remarked the
presence of the "caaFon" President
Roosevelt only smiled and intimated
that he expected to do some hunting
in Yellowstone park. He did not,
however, explain how he expected to
shoot mountain lions with a navy re-
volver.

Pauperism and kingly Pomp.

One of the features of London life
last winter was offered by the process
sions of unemployed which continually
parade the streets. They did no yio-
lence and were not molested by the po-
lice as they came out of the east end
and wound along through the streets Of
Westminster. King Edward. going to
or from parliament. probably did not
meet IL of these great professions,
but if he had how much the pomp of
the king would have lacked of the i'm
pressiveness of the mute misery of the
subiects!-Louisville Courier-.Journal.

liam A. Day, assistant attorney gen
eral, who had charge of the Northern
Securities company case at st. Paul,
and who has control of the proceed
ings instituted by the department OF
justice against combinations, said to-
day that there are at present no plans
in his department for proceeding
against any other corporation on &C
count of the favorable decision hand
ed down by the United States circuit
court of appeals at st. Paul.
"The decision at st. Paul." said
Judge Day, may naturally lead to
expectations of other proceedings to
be instituted at ice against other
corporations. So far as l am aware,
there is no other corporation in the
country exactly like the Northern Sc
curities company. At least the atten-
ton of this department has been call
ed to no similar corporation, and
therefore we have no plans to an
nOunce of any contemplated action
against any corporation"
1t is a fact, however, that the inter-
state commerce commission is now
conducting Investigations into sew
eral railroad matters and it is posi-
BILE that in some of it's Investigations
the commission will find ground for
action by the department of justice.
The railroad commission of Ken
lucky is pressing a case against an
alleged combination among the south
ern railroads before the interstate
commerce commission and it is un-
derstood that the findings Of the COM
mission in that case will be COM
municated to the department of JUS
tice for it's information. The hear
ings have been about finished and it
is expected that a decision will be an
nounced soon.
So far as is known, the government
is making no Investigations into the
affairs of any industrial corporation
yet. Since it's successful action
against the proposed beef merger in
Chicago, it has taken no steps in that
direction. A little later on, something
may be done.

Weekly Poker Game For Charity.

There are five men Of wealth and
prominence closely identified with d
certain uptown church who go n a
week to play poker. All are men we'll
along in years and all have renowned
the follies of youth. yet they have new
er lost their love for the great Ameri-
can game Of draw. They realize that
it would be incompatible with their po-
sition as pillars of the church to gam
bile, and yet they play a twenty-five
cent limit game for real money. There
Is just this difference: The winners
turn over to the treasurer ali the mon
ey they have won from the losers. and
every six months this fund is eXpend-
ed on some deserving charity. In that
way. while the player who is ahead of
the game doesn't really profit. yet he
isn't losing anything, and the loser has
the satisfaction of knowing that his
money is going to Il good cause. The
element of chance is not eliminated,
each man plays his best. there are four
hours of excitement and the players do
not feel that they are beating the devil
about the Observation-Disclosures Record.

Those who have been in the park

worse now than it eve was before,

of the year. The wind is not blowing,

Gardiner, April 12.-President
Roosevelt was hunting mountain
lions yesterday on slough creek. In
company with Major Pitcher, the act
ing superintendent of the park, and a
guard of soldiers, he left Fort Yellow
stone Thursday morning for Yancey's,
Is miles east of Mammoth Hot
Springs, from where he went to
Slough creek. There are more elk and
deer in this vicinity than in any other
portion of the park, and where the
big game is most mer there are
also to be found the most mountain
lions. The president will undoubted-
ly bag a few lions, although it is not
known here whether he has secured
ANY as yet. He will also get plenty
of opportunity to shoot a few wolves,
as there are many of the big gray fell
lows in that section.
The president left Fort Yellow
stone in excellent spirits. He was to
have ridden a fine bay Kentucky thor
oughbred, purchased recently by H.
w. Child, president of the Yellow
stone Park company, which controls
the transportation and hotel business
in the park, but the animal is sick and
a fine troop horse, M of the animals
from the Gray troop, was substituted.
No members of the presidents par
ty accompanied him to Yancey's. The
trip was not an especially difficult
one, as the soldiers had broke a trail.
The snow is not extremely deep, and
no special difficulty was experienced
in reaching Yancey's. From Yancey's

CHATTANOOGA NEGRO MINISTER ISSUES OPEN LETTER PRAlslNe THE POSITION OF ROOSEVELT ON CRIME OF LYNcHINe.

Chattanooga, August 1s.-The Rev. J. M. Holt, pastor of the Warren A. NJ E. church, and one of the prominent negro ministers in the state, has issued an open letter to President Roosevelt compliments ing his anti-lynehing letter ana at the same time saying something with regard to the negroes attitude on Iynching and the enforcement of the laws. Holt says:
 T am sure that express the true sen timent of 90 per cent of my race when I say that we are against crime of all grades, and the brute who will dare to enter the home of an innocent woman for criminal purposes or assault her upon the high or low ways, can never have the sympathy of the better class of my race. We stand ready at any and all times to assist the officers of the law in bringing all criminals to justice. never allow a Sunday to pass without denouncing crime from my own pulpit in the bitterest terms
 ''The great trouble is that the white people of this country see but little of the better class of my race, while they are constantly coming in contact with the lawless element; hence they set the scale and base their judgment and pass sentence on the whole race when only a slight investigation will reveal the facts that all "coons" do not look alike nor do alike"

 Brought to St. Vincents.

John Dixon and John Dickens, two white miners, who were seriously injured in an explosion of dynamite at the Marion mines near Pell City Tuesday, were brought to, Birmingham yesterday and carried to St. yincents' hospital. Both of them are badly burned, but 1t is be- lieved that they will recover.

The grand lodge and Magic City lodge No. of the Colored Locomotive Firemen's Union of America have passed resolution in joint session expressing their regret that Miller Hestlop is to sever his connection with the Louisville and Nashville railroad as foreman of the shops here.
 Many of the men have worked un- der him for twenty years, and they are unanimous in their expressions for the kindness he has shown them and the fairness with which he has treated them in all their dealings.
 The resolution concludes as follows:
 ''Mr. Hestlop is Virginian by birth, true to his section, true to his duty and true to his men under his charge. Throughout the Birmingham district he is popular as citizen and as busi- ness man, and around the railroad shops he is universally liked. It has been said, There is no one that every one likes,' but in this case it does seem to us that good opinion of him is unanimous"
