HANNA AND HEATH.

There is going to be whole lot
OF fun on or about the nth and
18th OF the present month when the
Republican National Committee
meets for the purpose of selecting
the time and place for the holding
of the next Republican National
Convention, There is going to be
an attempt made at that meeting to
fire the Hon. Perry S. Heath, Sec
rotary of the Republican National
Committee. The late report of
Hon. Joe Bristow, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, has thrown the
harpoon into MI. Heath with all the
energy of man who wanted to get
even for some things, and that re-
port has stirred up the President to
the sticking stage, and he says that
Mr.. Heath must go. Senator Hanna.
the Chairman of the Committee, is
the friend of Heath, and he is as
insistent that Mr.. Heath must not
be disturbed. This presents an
issue at once between the President
and the Senator from Ohio. who is
the real leader of the Republican
party. The President apparently
forgets that he did not make up the
present National Committee of the
Republican party, which Yields the
influence and controls things until
its successor is elected at the next
National Republican Convention,
but that 1t was made up by Mckin-
ley and Hanna, and therefore is
under the control of Hanna. This
being the case, the committee will
accept the dictum of Hanna and re-
fuse to "hre" Heath. This will
discredit Roosevelt and at the same
time place the Republican party in
the attitude of working in the in
terest of boodling in the Post
Office Department. There IS going
to be a warm time and much Re-
publican dirty linen will be washed
for the delectation of the general
public. 1t will be straight fight
between Hanna and Roosevelt and
Hanna is going to win. Watch the
game.

BOONE THE nYpNorrsr.

Prof. E. H. Boone, the cele-
brafed hypnotist was at Morgan
town last week and gave some hard
tests of his wonderful power. He
gave an exhibition at Swishers
Theater and outside tests with well
known and reliable citizens that
convinced the most skeptical.
The Dominion says that: A large
audience was very we'll pleased with
what they saw, his mind reading
tests particularly making a hit. All
of his assistants left town with him.
Yesterday afternoon Boone was
followed over the streets by crowd
of people, in search of two hidden
articles. Chief Price and Cal. F.
Young got a shoe-horn at Zitteps
store, and hid 1t in the Elkins'
residence. DIR. Van vooris and
L. w. Joseph got a pocketbook at
Johns and hid it in DIR. Cox's Office.
Boone was then driven around the
city blindfolded by his commit
tee." He took the lines drove to
the Elkins' residence, seized the
wrists of Chief Price and Mr..
Young and rushed through the
house upstairs and found the shoe
horn on top of the door edge. He
then went to DIR. Cox's Office and
after reading page in magazine,
found the pocketbook. Both of
the articles he returned to the
places from which they were taken.
The men who hid the articles are
satisfied that there is no fake about
the program.

The Presidents message was sent
to Congress Tuesday. II consists
of about IS 900 words. II is mask
ed by conservatism and is, in the
main, a plain statement Of fact or
opinion. Interesting features are
those referring to promotions in the
army and TO the recent recognition
Of the new Republic Of Panama.
The President devotes about
1000 words, or nearly one third Of
his message, to an explanation and
a defense Of the Administration
acts concerning the revolution Of
Nov. 3 on the Isthmus. There arc
only 400 words about the army.
which may be taken as an expires
sion drawn out by the opposition to
the promotion Of Gen. Leonard
Wood, the Presidents close friend.
II Is the longest message ever
sent to Congress and completely
exhausted the whole body SO that
they had to adjourn for rest and
refreshments.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

An Ingenious housekeeper with some
time TO spare can make very pretty
rugs at. home. A correspondent OF
Farm and Home gives her way OF do
ing II as follows;
The prettlest and most durable rugs
OF home manufacture are those made
by drawing narrow strips Of cloth
through burlap. The burlap may be
bought already stamped. but a more
economical plan is 10 get piece OF
burlap of the best quality and the
proper size for the foundation and
draw the design upon II. large per
fOrated stamping pattern could be used
II preferred. As TO designs. flowers
have always been favOrltes, with AMI
mails holding second place perhaps.
GeOmetrical designs are beautiful when
the cOlors used harmOuize with each
other. Many of the expensive manu-
factured rugs can be copied, and while
the homemade article may not reach
the beauty OF the original IL will be
handsome enough for the parl0r or
sitting room OF any ordinary house.

sired: 2is by 3is feet viii make me

Is made like the old fashioned quilting
frame, except that the four strips Of
wood are not 50 heavy Bore holes
with gimlet along the edges, through
which the edges OF the burlap may be
fastened by sewing them with strong
cord. Bore several larger holes near
the ends. 20 the frane may be adjusted
