THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Renominated for President by the
Republican National Convention.


Republican National Convention.
Theodore Roosevelt, renominated
for President by the Republicans,
was known as one of the most unique
and picturesque figures in American
public life when he was elected to
Ike vice presidency in 1900 and sue
ceeded to the presidency a ear Ia
ter through the death of William
Mckinley. His diversified and vigor
GUS activities had not only brought
him recognition and advancement in
public life. but had won him renown
on the field of battle. in the Bad Lands
cowboy. and also in the more peace
full pursuit of honors in the literary
world.
In cOntravention of well-establish-
ed tradition concerning national he
roes, the President was born in a
great city. His birthplace was in

~. and the date October .27. 1858.
which made him the youngest presi-
dent when he succeeded to that high
Office three years ago. His father,
Theodore. belonged to an III and
.ealthy Knickerbocker family. and
his mother was a descendant of Ar
chibald Bullock, first president of
Georgia during the Revolution.
AS a young man Roosevelt was ex-
point. He was sent to private
schools during his early school years
and preparation for Harvard Univer
sity TO avoid the rough treatment of
boys in the public schools. He was
a devotee of all athletic sports at
Harvard and when he graduated from
that institution of learning his health
was very much improved. After ex
tended travel in Europe. he returned
TO this country, studied law for a
few months. and then plunged at
once into the maelstrom of municipal
politics. He was elected in 1881 an
assemblyman from the 21st assembly
district of New York. At Albany he
was promptly dubbed a silk stock
ing" and a freak of a popular cleo
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt, then but %
years old. soon succeeded in making
himself a storm center. His best
known work in the legislature at this
time was in connection with the pas
sage of the acts a~bolishing the fee
system in county Offices and in de
privfng the board Of aldermen OF

MUFF ORIGINATED IN VENICE.
Once It's Color Betokened the Rank Of
the Wearer.

From the Philadelphia Record.
do you know that the color of a muff
snce betokened the rank of the wearer?'
said a furrier the other day. as he stroked
a beautiful sealskin muff. In the days of
Charles TX no lady could have worn this
fur. for black was decreed by the king to
be the badge of the common people, and
the court followers were restricted to the
colors.
"Muffs have gone through more styles
than 1t would seem possible to invent for
such a simple article of convenience. 1t has
been long and narrow, like a sheaf, and
again large and round. At the beginning of
last century the test of size was to try the
muy in a flour barrel. If it went in without
much trouJle, then that muff was too small
to be really fashionable. AT the present day
almost anything is proper, but those enor-
nous cylinders would certainly draw much
attention. One of the most curious styles
was that of Louis XIV, called the .chiens
mauchons,' because they were made to
convey little dogs In.
THE muff when first introduced was the
exclusive property of nobility, and orig
mated in Venice These muffs We're very
small and consisted of a single piece of
velvet, brocade or silk. lined with fur and
the openings fastened with rich jewels.
Such arrangements came in during the
early part o. the seventeenth century, but
IN tNe previous century tTe lduleS frequently
carried a piece of rich fur, which they used
either muff or a neckpiece.
THE muff reached It's highest point in
the reign OF Louis XIV, when the produce
tions were exquisite Then fashion declared
for cloth muf instead of fur, and the fur
rIers made great uproar. They petitioned
the pope to eXcommunicate the wearer of
cloth muff. but to no purpose. Finally some
ingenious merchant bribed the headsman to
carry cloth muff on execution day. The
women shrank from such association and
the fur won the day. We now associate the
muH only with cold wealner, but in the old
days 1t was a regular part of woman's
dress and was carried in all weather. AS
late as 1890 muff and a straw bonnet We're
not deemed incongruous.

WEATHER AFFECTS
THE BEEF SUPPLY

There is liable to be a shortage in the
meat supply of Honolulu owing to the
storm, that appears to have been gen
eral throughout the islands. The rough
water along the coasts is Interfering
to some extent with the shipment of
cattle. Yesterday the steamer Mauna
Loa arrived without the usual quota of
beef cattle. It is problematic when any
stock can be obtained from the Island
of Hawaii, where dependence for the
city's supply of fat beef is placed.
There are resources of less favored
beeves, but in the meantime folks will
find a difference of quality between
what they get and what they have been
getting.

TWO TRAINS NOT
YET HEARD FROM

This weeks storm did large amount
of damage along the line of the Oahu
railroad. At midnight no word had
come to the Honolulu station from two
trains which were last reported
Wednesday. The five-forty train from
Honolulu could only proceed as far as
Pearl City last night and train sched-
uled to leave Honolulu at 11:15 p. m.
did not leave the station.
In consequence of this railroad
blockade the sugar carrying ships at
the railway wharves received no cargo
from the plantations of this island yes

The telephone wires between Honolu-
III and stations beyond Eva are down
SO that it was impossible yesterday to
secure any reliable news as to the ex-

wires between Honolulu and Eva were
put in shape yesterday and a large
number of men are engaged along the
line clearing away distractions and re-
pairing damaged tracks.
All of the wharf laborers employed
by the railway company have been
sent down the line to help.
