NO NAMES CALLED.

1t was well understood of course that
former United States Senator Hill re-
ferred to President Roosevelt when,
in his speech at Olcott Beach the other
day, he spoke of "spectacularism" and
"egomania." Mr.. Hill holds the opinion
that is entertained of the President by
many of the latter's fellow citizens,
namely that he likes to make a dis
play and he thinks he is the govern
ment.
Gov. Odell of New York, in speech
at Geneseo. N. Y, on Tuesday, de-
Tended the President against Mr. Hills
attack by praising the President and
belittling Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Hill did not
mention the name of the President nor
did Gov. "Odell mention the name of
Mr.. Hill, but the public knew who was
meant as well as If the names had been
called.
Notwithstanding the defense of the
President made by Gov. Odell there
is undoubtedly much truth in what
Mr.. Hill said. The characteristics of
the President to which he called atten-
ton are recognized all over the coun-
try. For instance, in an interview in
the New York Sun of last Tuesday, for
mer United States Senator Butler of
South Carolina said: Mr.. Roosevelt
seems to be leaning toward a personal
government. l do not approve his
course in the coal strike. l think he
went entirely beyond his authority as
President of the United States" Mr..
Butler called attention to Mr.. Cleve-
lands course in the Chicago riots and
compared it with that Of President
Roosevelt in the coal strike much to
the disadvantage of the latter.
Speaking further of President
Roosevelt Mr.. Butler said: HE seems
to carry the spectacularly personal ele-
ment, If 1 may so term it, of govern
ment to the extreme. He apparently
has the impression that he is a sort
of Emperor William of Germany.
doubt If even Emperor William
would have ventured to summon
great fleet from so far away as the
coast of Maine to line up in front of
his house for his personal pleasure
and glorihcation. It was not the cost
of the spectacle, but the principle
which is open to the chief criticism"
Further along in his interview Mr..
Butler called attention to the small
fleet of government yachts which the
President keeps at his disposal. 1t
seems there are three of these vessels
and they are of course maintained by
the government. Besides these three,
the President, SO it is said, or
dered a fourth to be put at the dis
posal of the Postmaster General, who
was i'll and needed a sea voyage. There
is no doubt the President is making
more use of government property for
his own benefit and that of his friends
than any of his predecessors did. thus
! bearing out the point made by Mr..
| Butler that he seems to think he is
everything in the government.
In the presidential campaign, If Mr..
Roosevelt is the Republican candidate,
and there isn't any reason to doubt
| he will be, the points made against
him by Mr.. Hill will be enlarged upon
and made effective campaign material.
If Is to be regretted that any OF the

a veteran of the art to a Star reporter,

delving into ancient history to find out
when and where shorthand reporting
was first introduced. Even before the
days of printing presses Cicero intro

called the Tyronean method, from
Tyro, freedman, who was one of
Cicero's most expert writer's. That
even at that early date systems of

Julius Caesar, bidding for popular
ity, in his first consulate, caused the
proceedings of the Roman Senate to
be published daily. and these reports
were taken down by trained writer's,
who were called tabularii, being what
we to-day style reporters. These re-
porters were probably only rapid writ
ers using the ordinary characters. The
reports were revised and edited before
their exposure to the public eye, and
were then circulated even in the dis
tant provinces-just' the same as the
Congressional Record is now sent to
the constituents of members of our
Congress. Prior to this time the great
annals of the lawmakers were written
on tablets and placed in a room of the
Pontiff, where they were accessible to
the public. The people had to go to
she newspaper and it was not de-
hvered at their homes as now. This
room of the Pontiff was a general
reading room, reminding one of the
periodical room of the Congressional
Library.

STRIPPED By LIGHTNING.
Perhaps the Quickest JOB of I'm
dressing a Man on Record.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
A binding flash, and a loud and sud
den crack of thunder. a sensation as
then darkness and Inconsistencies.
That is how it feels to be struck by
lightning. 1t is the way Art Bruer. n
conductor for the Maniton and Pixies
Peak road, who had his clothing torn
from his body by lightning last week,
describes the sensation.
Although Bruers clothing was torn
to shreds, his conductors cap remov-
ed from his head, the fleece lining of
his underwear set on fire, and a blue
streak burned across his chest from
shoulder to shoulder, he recovered con-
seriousness a few minutes later and
was able to bring his train to the
summit of Pixies Peak to the Cog Road
station al Manitou.
There are no tailor shops or hand
me-dowr stores on the peak, and Bruer
borrowed a Navajo Indian blanket from
the curio shop there and performed
his duties as conductor while arrayed
like an Indian chief.
The incident was one of the most
peculiar freaks of lightning on record.
1t has been known to perform strange
antics, but never before has it strip
ped man completely of his outer
clothing, tossed his hat into the air.
left an indelible stamp on his body.
rendered him unconscious for a few
minutes, and then left him almost an
hurt, with no burns except a long
thin line of blue on his chest. and set
fire to the fleece lining of the under
wear without burning or scorching any
other articles of his wearing apparel
Bruer believes that he was horn
lucky. In the present instance this
was better than to have been born
rich. The chances of a mans life be-
ing spared in such a case are so
small as to be almost infnitesimal. At
the time he was struck by the lightning
he was standing on the steps of the
coach. holding the brass railing with
both hands, preparing to give the signal
for the train to start on its journey
down the Peak. The passengers were
all aboard and everything was in
readiness for the downward start.
Suddenly there was a binding flash
and a deafening crash of thunder. A
blue streak of forked lightning shot
across the peak on its way from
one cloud to another. En- route is
encountered the form of Bruer, and
his body formed the circuit which shot
the bolt into the top of Pixies Peak.
After the passengers had recovered
from their momentary fright they saw
the insensble form of Bruer lying on
the ground.
They FASTENED to him to pick him
up, as they supposed, dead, when to
their utter establishment he sat up
right and looked bewilderingly about
Kim. To inquiries he replied that he
was not hurt, 'only stunned" but one
man discovered that the fleece under
wear was burning The fire was ex-
tinguished, and the Navajo blanket
borrowed. The clothing which had been
torn by electricity was picked up and

their dealings with each other and
even in the payment of their taxes.
But when so employed it was not re-
garded as any form of money, but. as
the Rhode Island colonial records for
1862 say: ut is but a commodity and
y is unreasonable that it should be
forced upon any man."
An Approach to Currency.
The use of wampum in the nortehrn
colonies was at it's hight about 1910.
At that time, despite the suspicious
and reluctance of acceptance by many,
1t was by far the nearest approach to
a universal currency that the colonists
had. 1t could be exchanged for mer-
chandise, used in the payment of labor
and court judgments and given to the
state in the discharge of taxes. Be
quests We're made in terms of it. An
old English shilling found in a road
way at Flushing, L. l., in 1647 was
regarded locally as a great curiosity.
Many of the younger generation had
never seen such a coin.
There were many circumstances
which conspired to deprive wampum
and eventually strip it of it's charac-
ter as currency. First may be men
toned the very familiar process
known to students of finance as infia-
ton. The quantity in circulation had
increased so much by reason of the
trade in beaver that when, about the
middle of the century, the demand for
the latter in Europe diminished, there
was no other to take it's place in keep
ing the wampum atloat. Moreover, the
thrifty Dutch of Hackensack and AL
bany introduced lathes in, the manu-
facture of beads, so that much
greater quantities of it could be pro-
duced. The effects of this were, of
course, to bring great profits Temporal
rily to the Dutchman, but ultimately
to render wampum too common to
maintain it's value.
