Bishop Potter Of New York Tells Good
Story on Himself.

oisHop Fotter OF New YORK Tells GOOD
Story on Himself.
Here is the latest story which
Bishop Potter is telling on himself.
On Friday evening, Nov. 81, the Bishop
performed an ordination ceremony in
Staten Island, and, as is customary on
s,ch occasions, wore a small, red hood
at the back Of his surplice.
An old negro woman was in the
congregation as an interested listener.
After the ceremony her mistress, who
was also present, asked her what she
thought of 1t.
"Wel," she replied, in a hesitating
way, II liked his speech fust-rate. but
feel mighty sorry for dat man.
guess he atu't got no woman to tend
to him, has he?" she asked.
On being assured that the Bishop
was given every possible attention,
she replied positively:
Now, ! know better dan dat, cause
one time when he turned round saw
dat de back of his coat was busted and
his red undershirt was shown

cows SHOWED THE CHARM.
Musical Strains on a Vle.in That At
tracted Their Attention.

At a recent concert of the hospital
music fund, given in Cambridge
(Mass.) city hospital, one of the must.
clans did thing which recalls the
ancient history of Orpheus and his en-
chanting Tyre.
At the farther end of a field oppo'
site the institution two cows were
quietly grazing with their backs to-
ward the street. The first viollnist
asserted that he could speak with
those cows by means of his violin al
that distance. Being doubted, he
played one chord on the two lower
strings of his instrument. The ami
mails Immediately quit feeding, raised
their heads, turned in the direction
of the sound and looked interested
The violinist drew his bow on the
strings a second time and the animals
came directly across the field and put
their heads over the rails of the fence
with ears thrown forward, nostrils
dilated and eyes lnGuiring. The third
time the chord was played the ami
mails simultaneously answered with
sharp, short lowing and uneasy
stamping of forefeet.
A word in COW language was plainly
said by the violin and was answered
by the cows. The incident was seer
by DR.. Dixwell and six or seven others
interested in the hospital music char
ity. Some of the more incredulous
members of the party thought that
perhaps the animals which answered
the sound were looking for another
COW hidden from view, but there was
no near hiding place and the sunlight

single Men Pay Handsomely for Their
Privileges In Argentina,

S'S's "eH ray handsomely TOT Ineir
Privileges in Argentina.
One OF the smaller states composing
the Argentine Republic has no use for
bachelors. The law holds that a
man Is manageable In Argentina
when he is twenty. The exchequer
gives point to the opinion by taxing
all bachelors of between twenty and
thirty So a month. After thirty and
up to thirty-five the tax Increases 100
per cent. Between thirty-flve and
fifty single blessedness costs $40 a
month. From his fiftieth to his sew
enty-fifth year bachelor may fol-
low his own wild road by paying in
$50 a month. After that comes re-
lief. The vicious example of an un.
married man of between seventy-fve
and eighty is considered to be neu-
tralized by payment of only $50 a
year and when the eightieth birthday
is passed the treasury finally ceases
from worrying.
A wldower is given three years in
which to mourn and choose a sue
cessor, but man who can prove that
he has proposed and been refused
three times in one year is considered
t. have earned immunity. Here, one
would think, is an easy loophole, but
the law is said to act like a charm.

"Hard Times" Job,

Prosperity In its accepted sense Is
misnomer to the publisher of sub
scription books. It comes within the
lean" years Of his business. At the
present time Chicago is the centre OF
the subscription book business in
America. says the Chicago Tribune
and by the same token it is harder to
find canvasser for a subscription
book for the coming holiday market
than ever before in the history of that
business. Canvassing for books is
something that people take up only as
last resort. 1t Is a hard times
job, and no one recognizes 1t more
readily than does the man who prints
the book supply.

While there he reformed AID be-

John Smith number two organized

Thus he was enabled to endow a

FOR GOOD ROADS.
New York State Proposes to Spend
$4,000, 900.


When Mr.. Brownlow of Tennessee intro
duced bill in Congress appropriating $40
100000 as a fund for national aid to road
Improvement in the United States a good
many people were startled at the size of
the figures. The amount however, seems
very small compared with the sum that a
single state now proposes to raise and
spend. The New York legislature has
adopted constitutional amendment pro-
posing to raise and spend $1,000, 600 annual
ly for ten years, or $50, 100000 in all. This
amendment must pass the legislature again
in 1905. and then 1t will go before the peo-
pie for ratification or rejection. It can
reasonably be expected that the measure
Will meet with popular favor. The people
of New York have given the principle of
state aid thorough trial and the results
have been highly satisfactory.
One of the objections most loudly urged
against both state and national aid Is that
1t will encourage local communities to
neglect the Improvement of their roads and
depend on the state and the federal govern
ment to do the work for them. But this
objection has proven to be purely imagin-
airy. In no place where state aid has been
tried has any such result appeared On
the contrary, aid from the state treasury
only stimulates local self help It arouses
warm competition among the counties and
townships to secure a share of the state
aid funds. Instead OF sitting down and
folding their hands as predicted the local
communities are raising great deal more
money under the stimulus of state aid than
they did before.
1t looks now as II national aid is bound
to come in the near future Already the
state legislatures OF Alabama, Tennessee,
Wisconsin, New Mexico. Missouri and Min
nesota have put themselves on record in It's
favor.

DENIED BY COUNT CAss1N1.
Alleged Controversy Over the Diplo-
matte List

Count Cassini the Russian ambassador.
has authorized the publication OF an en-
phatic and wholesale denial of a report
recently sent to German paper from
Washington and New York and circulated
throughout Germany to the effect that the
Russian ambassador at washington was
incensed at the action of the German am
bassador in placing the name of the sister
in-law of the German envoy in the diplo-
matte list as a member of the German en-
bassy. The report also stated that the
Russian ambassador had engaged in a con-
troversy with the Secretary of State re-
gardirg the matter.
In his two fold capacity as Russian am
bassador to Washington and dean of the
diplomatic corps and personally, Count
Cassiai denies the report as absolutely
and maliciously false" The placing Of
Miss Langham's name in the diplomatic
list was never mentioned between the Rus
sian and German ambassadors nor between
either of them and the Secretary of State
AS a member of the Ambassadors family
1t was regarded in diplomatic and official
circles as entirely proper and In line with
long custom that Miss Langham's name
should appear with the diplomatic CORPS
Secretary Hay has invariably made 1t a
rule that all such matters shall be left to
the dean of the diplomatic corps for deci-
sion. Abundant precedent is found in the
records of the State Department for the
ranking of Miss Langham with the diplo-
matte corps and Count Cassinis action in
sanctioning 1t Is said to be approved both
at the department and in the corps.

BELL DENIES MILES CHARGES.
Declares That Army in the Philippines
Has Not Been Cruel.

In an interview in the New York World
Gen. J. Franklin Bell, who has been in the
Philippines since the first American expe-
dition went there, yesterday defended the
American army against the charges Of
cruelty made by Gen. Miles.
The American soldiers have not been
guilty of cruelties, nor have they used
more stringent means to pacify the natives
than We're at all times justified by the cir
cumstances." said he. He distinctly dis
claimed any intention, however, of reflect
ing upon Gen. Miles, his superior officer.
Gen. Bell arrived on the North German
Lloyd liner Kron Prinz Wilhelm. He has
been In command recently of the province
OF Batangas. Before sailing from South
ampton he gave a vigorous interview in
which he defended the conduct of the
American soldiers in the Philippines. He
stated yesterday that he had nothing to
retract.
But, said he, Il wish to correct the ap-
parent construction given to 1t by the
American people that I intended to criti-
else Gen. Miles, / did not intend 1t as
criticism. nor did mean to deplore the
tone of American editorial comment on our
soldiers in the islands / did have in mind
