There is already beginning to be
speculation on the old question, What
shall we do with our ex-Presidents?"
as it applies to Theodore Roosevelt.
Many of the newspapers that have
paid any attention to the question,
those of Republican politics especially,
have assumed that Mr.. Roosevelt will
House. Whether that assumption is
well based and will be realized remains
to be seen, of course, Should it do
so, the consideration of what pursuit
the President will take up in 1909, at
the age of so years, is a speculation
in futures. Nevertheless the subject
is one of some interest, and it is pos
sible that the futures" may not reach
forward to so remote a date.
A suggestion in connection with the
Presidents future is thrown out by
the Springfield, (Nfass.) Republican. 1t
is that he become the successor of
President Eliot of Harvard. Mr.
Roosevelt is credited with a strong
ambition to round out his career after
another term in the White House, as
the President of Harvard University.
President Eliot is now 50 years of age.
Within a few years 1t is assumed he
will be thinking of retiring, to take his
comfort in the afternoon of life. Then
the university will be under the neces-
sity of calling TO the suocessorship
some man of demonstrated ability and
influence The question is being ask
ed, could better man be found that
Theodore Roosevelt? He is a Har-
ward man of culture and large exper-
fence, and it would be a tremendous
advertisement for Harvard to have at
its head a former President of the
United States. Ex-President CIeve-
land has in a measure become attach
connection has proved of benefit to
the school. Harvard would have an
offset to this If she placed Mr.. Roose-
welt in her presidential chair. Mr..
Roosevelt is an energetic worker, and
there IS no doubt that he would make
his influence felt in the school. Par
tieularly is this true with respect to
athletics His coming to Harvard,
therefore, would be pleasing to the I'M
der graduates.
There are, however, two drawbacks
in the plan for thus disposing of
President Roosevelt. The first is that
the plan assumes that he will be Pres
ident of the United States for almost
six years yet, whereas he may be re-
tired much before that time. The other
is that President Eliot, though we'll
advanced in years, is still vigorous and
gives no intimation that he has any
intention of retiring, even at the end
of six years.

PERSONAL.

Herbert P. Bissel a prominent
President C1eveland's former law part
ner, declares that Mr.. Cleveland has
no intention of becoming a candidate
for a third presidential term and that
lie could not be elected if nominated.
When Mr. Du Chaillu died in st.
Petersburg last week he had been en-
gagged for about eighteen months in
preparing to write a careful inclusive
account of the Russian empire. This
was to be his browning work and he
had but just begun, for he thought four
or Ave years were necessary.
Winston Churchill, the novelist,
who has taken UP political career in
New Hampshire, has found that the
business of lawmaking is crowding him
in his literary career. He has resigned
his commission as colonel on the staff
of Gov. Bachelor and says he will not
run for the Legislature again.
On the occasion of the visit of the
royal family to Scotland the magnif1-
cent gold plate from Windsor Castle is
to be used. The collection, which is
valued at 100000 will be sent under
a strong guard to Dalkeith house, the
residence of the Duke and Duchess of
Buccleugh, which has been placed at
the disposal of the King and Queen.
The plate includes a dinner service of
140 persons. 1t will be heavily insured
during it's absence from the castle.
The addresses of President Roose-
welt and ex-President Cleveland at st.
Louis present some marked differences
in point of rhetoric, and these are, In
a sense, characteristic Nearly all of
Mr.. CleVeland's sentences are long
ones, several of them containing as
many as 100 words and some of them
$50 words. President Roosevelt's SEN
fences. on the other hand, are all short
and snappy. The longest sentence in
his address contains less than sixty
words and most of them are shorter.

There was once a well known WASH
ington correspondent who made a great
success of sending special articles about
the personal peeuliarities of prominent
men to a large syndicate of Sunday
newspapers, says the Brooklyn Eagle
For years he had been making and in
dexing scrap books, and 1t was his
practice to get most of his facts for
his special articles from these books.
For example, if he wished to write
about the boards of great men he had
only to dictate an introduction to his
stenographer and let her copy the rest
from the pages indicated after the
word Boards" in the index.
One week he undertook thus to treat
of the tobacco habit as related to men
of national renown. Some of the items
in his scrap books were, of course,
several years old, but the stenographer
put them all in just as she found them.
Among them was the statement that
Congressman L. stopped smoking a
year ago"
In a few days a letter came from
the editor of paper in the district
formerly represented by that congress-
man.
Thunder, mani" it said. eff 1 had
printed that letter of yours 1 should
have been hooted out of the district.
Congressman L. died two years ago.
What do you mean to intimate by
saying that he smoked for year after
that"

COLD STORAGE OF FRUITS.

Several years ago the government be-
gan experimenting in sending fruits
in cold storage to London. Almost
without exception the experiments have
been attended with success. They were
begun with apples; next pears, then
peaches, were taken up. Last season
both Delaware and Georgia peaches
were shipped in cold storage to Lon
don, where they arrived in perfect con-
dition and sold for prices averaging
some so per cent. higher than they
were fetching in the home market.
During the current season the demon
STATIONS are to be broadened so as to
Include Strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries, currants, gooseberries,
plums and cherries. Later, probably
next season, oranges will be taken up
on a more extended scale. Already
some few California oranges have
been shipped in cold storage to
London. where they were re-
csived with high favor. I'M
agins the delights in store for Lon
don when it has It's first taste of lus-
eious, ripe, juicy Florida oranges! If
Lendoners can sing the praises of Cali
fornia's indifferent and pithy oranges,
they will simply go into raptures when
they become acquainted with the In
dian river fruit.
The success of the system of cold
storage shipment of fruit to Europe
means much for Georgia peach grow
ers 1t means that, even with the
acreage and number of trees multi
piled by ten, there will be no lack of
ready market and good prices for all
the fruit. The American peaches will
strike Great Britain and the Cont
nent at a season between seasons, -
when the fruits from Australia have
given out and those of the Mediter-
ranean section and of the local orchards
have not matured. which will tend
TO strengthen prices. The prices for
Georgia peaches, by the way, should
naturally be strong, because of the an
approached excellence of the article.
And what has been said of Georgia
peaches will apply also to Florida
oranges. These two fruits stand with
out rival in the world. If they can be
supplied in their maturity and excel
lence to Europe. il will be to the bene-
fft OF all parties concerned-consumer
as we'll as producers And the widen
ing of the market should have the eff
feet of inducing additional investments

A Washington patent lawyer Of the
name of Walker has mapped out line
OF discovery for the present century
quite different from that of the last
century. He thinks there will be fewer
mechanical inventions and chemical
discoveries but predicts that the
great discoveries will be in the line of
psychology. He expects the spiritual
lists to prove that the soul is immortal
or for science TO demonstrate that ev-
cry human feeling is the result of
electrical effect on the brain He also
looks for the existence of God to be
proved or disproved scientifically. He
says all of the Christian churches, with
the exception Of the Catholic, will
drift into Christian Science, and that
the exact time of the end Of the world
will be computed. He neglected to
say whether or not perpetual motion
would be discovered and the pension

many years ago. the founder of the st.
Louis Chronicle, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. One day a young woman. who
had been recently employed as a So
ciety reporter came bursting into the
city editors Office, saying:
"Oh, I just saw a perfectly lovely
murder"
Waterloo happened to overhear. the
remark, and had discrimination enough
to appreciate that it was the girls en-
thusiasm as a reporter. rather than
want of human sympathy, that caused
her to seem to rejoice over the brutal
crime she had witnessed. He watched
her course carefully for while and
then promoted her to the city editor
ship. Within a few months after that
she became the managing editor of
the paper, perhaps the first woman in
the country to hold such position on
a daily newspaper in which she had
no ownership.

powder was thrown overheard from
the cruisers Raleigh and Olympia
during their recent evolutions in the
Caribbean sea. Officers on the ships
condemned the powder as worthless
because of it's appearance. and it was
unceremoniously cast overheard. Now
it appears that experts of the Ord
nance Bureau assert the powder was
perfectly good. Notwithstanding it
failed to come up to tests prescribed
by the bureau when applied on. the
ships. The officers of the ships, how
ever, are not held to be in any way
at fault Certain rules were given them
by which powder was to be tested.
When their supplies failed to stand
that test, they deemed the powder dan
gerous to the ships and threw it away.
New test rules are to be formulated.
