No Fortune for Drake Heirs.

Inasmuch as the story as 10 the eT-
istence OF a large fortune awaiting in
England the American heirs OF Sir Fran
els Drake, the great English naval hero
and explorer of the reign OF Queen
Elizabeth, has once more become cur
rent here, and several legal firms in this
country are reported to be engaged in
promoting the claims OF the said Ameri-
can heirs TO this estate. it may be men
toned that no such estate IS in exist
ence. and that there can be no Ameri-
can heirs OF the great admiral.
The claims of the said heirs are based
on the supposition that Sir Francis left
two sons. John and Francis. The latter.
1t IS asserted. inherited his fathers
property and passed It on to his heirs,
His branch of the family. however, be-
coming extinct in 1749, whereupon the
property as well as the title should have
reverted to the descendants Of John. TIE
younger son OF the admiral. The Drake
claimants in the United States assert
themselves to be the heirs Of this John
Drake, and it is on this Dretension that
they base their demands 70 the fortune

Arson in Politics.

Pop" Arson. the hero of many a
hard fought battle upon the diamond,

to politics and is the coach Of the Chi
cago Democratic Club. At the recent
Democratic picnic. arranged by Mayor
Harrison, and at which Mr. Bryan was
the principal speaker, Pop" lead the
marching hosts. riding proudly upon a
white charger, and, Il is reported re-
ceived an ovation as great as was &C
corded the eX-candidate or TO the mayor.
Pop" is the ''rooter" for the Harri-
son boom. His mission in life hence
forth viii be to assist Mayor Carter
Harrison to attain the Presidency. He
no longer cares which team wins the
pennant, or who leads the batting list;
he desires only TO see the Carter Harri-
son Gag floating over the White House
and the man OF destiny" batting out the
Republicans who hold fat Offices under
the Federal Government.
Arson has q long campaign ahead q
him. for the Harrison boom has been
preserved until 1908. The mayor thinks
that his chances and the chances Of the
Democratic party VIII be better then
than next year, and as he is young, be-
lives he can well afford 10 wait In the

The Field of Politics.
Nay Divide the Work.

The Republican managers are consid-
eriEg the advisability Of dividing the
executive work of conducting the next
national campaign and alIotting certain
States to certain leaders and holding
them responsible for the results therein.
This would undoubtedly relieve the
chairman Of the national committee Of
much arduous labor and prove quite eff
fective. In this connection it is said
that Senator Kean of New Jersey is
willing to undertake the work of re
tanning his own State. New York. Penn
sylvania and Delaware within the Re
publican column, a contract which is
likely to call forth all his latent ener-
giles, especially when 1t IS remembered
that Senator Kean has no small task
upon his hands in providing for his own
return to the United States Senate.
1t is possible. however. that he may
be anxious to undertake the management
OF the campaign in these States in the
hope that by so doing he will receive
the Endorsement OF the Administration
for reelection. There is throughout
Jersey much opposition to the senior
Senator, not so much because of any
thing he has done while in office or has
failed to do. but because there are sew
eral ambitious statesmen who are 80
selfish as to want 10 wear the Sena-
torial toga themselves. The opposition
TO Senator Kean, however, is not united.
and for this reason he may be able 20
win in spite of it, and the management
of the national campaign in Jersey and
the adjoining States might advance his
candidacy.
Apropos of the matter of dividing the
work OF the campaign, II is said that
Senator Lodge Will be assigned 10 Il
rect affairs in New England, in case he
does not become chairman OF the ma
tIonal committee TO succeed Senator
Hanna.

Chief of a Noted House.

Honorable Artillery Company of Lon

its kindred organization in this coun-
try, the Ancient and Honorable Ar

who on the occasion of the review Of
his troops the other day in London by
the King was intrusted by the latter
during the course of a public speech
with the conveyance OF some very
friendly messages to tine United States,
is the chief Of the family to which the
famous novelist. Henry Fielding, be-
lCnged. He likewise claims relationship
w..h the imperial Austrian house OF
Hapsburg. though this is denied and
even ridiculed by many of the most
eminent Of English gemealogists.
The earl is a lOrd-in-waiting TO the
King. and is one of the forty Roman
Catholic members Of the upper chamber
of the national Legislature. 1t is a
mistake, however, to describe him as
the head Of one Of the Oldest Catholic
families in the kingdom. For until the
conversion of the late Earl OF Denbigh
all the holders of the tide were stanch
PICtestants.

The Language of Golf.
Is Profanity a Necessary Part of the
Game?

'The minister Will never make &
golf player" said Sandy, the caddy
for when he makes a foozle he only
says tut tut" This expert testi-
mony comes home with an especial
meaning in the light Of dispatches
from Halifax, n. s., which state that
the Rev. w J. Ancient, diocesan see
rotary Of the Anglican Synod, has
preached a sermon accusing women
golf players of the town Of going
on the links and Swearing like troop
ers." When a delegation Of women
golf players waited upon the Rev.
Ancient and demanded a retraction.
he refused to make il. Wherefore
the question arises: Does the ancient
and honorable game Of golf give ex-
cuse for profane language? Indeed.
there Is a more serious one: Can il
be played, and played well, without
it?
1t seems to be an established fact
that no team Of mules can be driven
in a scholarly and successful stvle
without the use Of language which
would shock the ears Of the Rev. Mr..
Ancient. On the other hand, no fish
erman, worthy Of the name of angler.

This would seem to indicate that the
ears Of the mule are tough and leath-
cry organs, while the fish's sense of
hearing IS delicate and easily shocked.
Old golfers say that there IS some
thing III the game which makes fine
robustious exclamation at times seem
quite the necessary and proper thing.
But there are words and words, and
what seems swearing TO Il delicate and
refined ear, appears to be merely ex-
clamatory to others. 1t seems to us
that the ladies should seek lexicon
Of their own when moved to stressful

these words lack sonorousness. let
them cry decentralization" or

feelings greatly, and even the Rev

DELAY on Union Station.
It Should Not Be Permitted Because of
Legal Technicalities.

The commendable effort of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
the Baltimore and Ohio Company
&c complete the new Union Station
before the next Inauguration Is
threatened with defeat by the at
tempt of certain property owners 10
have the act authorizing the build
ing Of the station declared illegal bv
the courts.
Only little more than eighteen
months remain before the date set for
the dedication Of the station for
which the people of Washington
have been waiting many years. The
law enacted by Congress provides a
method of condemnation of property
along the proposed route which Is
fair to railroad and private interests
alike notwithstanding, there APP
pears to be dissatisfaction, and an
action has been begun to have the
statute held to be defective.
If the appraisement of the Com
missioners has IN any case been I'M
just, and the amounts stipulated for
payment Of property condemned are
inadequate, there IS proper remedy,
but this should not be allowed to in
terfere with the progress of the work.
Washington greatly needs a new rail
road terminal, and has at last sue
ceeded IN inducing Congress to au-
thOrize its construction. The rail
roads have agreed, and for the bene-
fit of the visiting public, as well as
their own, are striving to complete it
for use at a time when there Will be
a great influx Of strangers to the
city. The progress Of the work
should not be delayed, therefore, by
minor legal technicaities. 1t IS to be
hoped that the local courts will take
up and quickly dispose Of the matter
IL order that there may be no un-
necessary DELAY.
