Cleveland His Hoodoo.

A typical ti-Cleve1and man IN
Washington is the proprietor of -four
ishing drug store. He used to be an
oficeholder.
II attribute the meanest run of hard
luck that ever had to Cleveland" said
this druggist to a Washington Post
man, in explaining his antipathy to
the Sage of Princeton. Remember how
he used to make a regular practice
along toward the close of his second
administration of firing Democrats from
office and allowing rampant Republic
cans to hang onto their jobs? Well. I
was one of the fired. I was nudged out
into the chill, dank air on the charge
OF being an offensive partisan-ane, one
or the most putrescent Democrats that
ever took a look up and down Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
And that wasn't the worst of IL. I'd
only been fired a little while before
my pension was reduced.

the Maryland marshes for a day of
bird shooting. Well I was potting
away at the birds when big thunder

in torrents, and, so as not to get
soaked and sozzIed. 1 crawled into the
hollow of big fallen tree lying close
TO the verge of the river.
My hard luck stuck right along to
me. The torrential rain swelled that

or half an hour l saw that the hole
through which I'd crawled wasn't any

getting out again. 1t was a mighty
serious predicament. I wars prepared

cURRENT COMMENT.

The Galveston News (Dem.) says: eff
Judge Parker is nominated and after
ward defeated at the polls the defeat
may be chargeabIe chiefly to Mr.. Bryan
and Mr. Hearst, If the reports of their
sayings and doing are correct. II. their
conduct defeats Parker at the polls, 1t
may end their power in the party for
years and years to come
The Charleston News and Courier
(Deln.) SAYS: IF MIR. Roosevelt should
be reelected, which God forbid! and
Providence should decree that he
should not serve out his second term in
the White House, the people of the
country would be able to take some
comfort in the reflection that Mr.. Fair
banks is more like other people, and
would give the country a plain, old
fashioned Jog-trotting administration
at Washington"
The New York World (Dem.) says:
The defeat OF President Roosevelt is
not impossible, but it Is fraugft with
so many diff1cultfes that the only
chance of the Democrats to accomplish
IL lies in the nomination OF his COM
plete antithesis for President. On the
adoption of platform sound in every
plank, in the emphatic reputation OF
all boodlers and self-seekers. and the
fipal severing of the fatal alliance with
POpulists and Socialists"

HAPPY, THOUGH LONG MARRIED.

HAPPY, THOUGH LONG MARRIED..
In these days, when the divorce
question is receiving so much atten-
.tion from religious and other organiza-
tons, and means are sought for the
abatement of the divorce evil,
it is a real pleasure to read
of such domestic occurrences as
that to which the Brooklyn
papers devoted considerable space
and his wife, Susan celebrated in a
quiet and Becoming manner the sixty
fifth anniversary of their wedding The
husband is not far from his ninetieth
birthday, and his good wife Is not
much behind him in age, but they en-
joyed the wedding anniversary festival
with the zest of persons not half SO
old. And they had good reason for
their happy spirits. To them married
life has been ''one grand, sweet song,''
as Mr.. Cleveland phrased it, On the
testimony of both, they have lived to-
gether for sixty-five years without a
cross word being spoken by either.
They never quarreIed, they never said
unkind things, they never had other
than the kindest thoughts for each
! other, and each was ever devoted to
the procurement OF happiness for the
other.
II don't see." said Mr.. Gardner tor
an interviewer on the occasion of the
anniversary, 'fwhy any married folks
should be unhappy, il they just make
up their minds to be contented." Tire,
delightful philosopher! And Mrs. Card
ner was no less delightful in her ex-
preston, though she gave more food for
thought. Said she: IF a. wife's in
terest is where it should be-in her
home-she is bound not only TO be hap
py herself, but to make her husband
happy" There is volume in that. In
the cases of too many wives their in
terest is not where it should be. in the
home; but 1t Is in the whist club. the
| foreign missions society the FIVE
| o'clock tea, the evening reception, the
bargain counter, the social whirl--any-
thing and everything except the home
and the children and the husband. And,
when either the husband or the wife
is addicted to gadding about clubs and
functions, to the neglect of the home
and it's associations. it is almost an
impossability for married life 70 be hap
py-a success.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner have ex-
/ planned, in few words, now to be
"'happy though married" Mr.. Gardner
says in effect that the couple should
make up their minds to be contented,
and live up to It, and Mrs. Gardner
says the woman should center her in
terest where it rightfully belongs. ir
the home BY both precept and exam
pie this excellent couple have shown
that marriage is not a failure, and that
happiness is within the reach of those
who will strive to attain TO it.

the same time supply them with food
and ammunition.
Prince Oukahtomsky admits Japan's
success thus far on land and sea, but
he says Russia was taken unawares,
that she didn't think Japan would dare
to attack her, but that she is now
arousing herself and that before long
she win have 100000 men in the field.
From what he says there is no doubt
that il was Russia's intention to re-
tain possession Of Manchuria, notwith-
standing the fact that she promised a
number of times to evacuate 1t. The
Japanese, therefore, made no mistake
in their conclusion as to Russia's pur-
pose.
The Prince says that Russia must
crush Japan because she is a menace
to the peace of Asia, a distufber who
is an enemy of civilization. From the
point of view of this country it looks
as if Russia were the disturber, be-
cause Japan wasn't troubling any
body. Russia was the grabber of ter
ritory and was getting in a position
to threaten the national life of Japan
The Prince admits, however, that the
war had to come, because Japan de-
manded that Russia stop growing,
which Russia had no intention of do
ing. Now the question is, can Japan
make Russia stop growing? She GER
tainly is making a good beginning in
her effort to do so-that is, growing
in the Far East.

A notable illustration of the kindly
and fraternal feeling existing among
the merchants of Savannah was given
yesterday, when the dry goods stores
on Broughton street were closed for
one hour in honor of the late Mr.. Dan
lei Hogan. The competition between
the Broughton street stores is keen at
all times, and during his life Mr.. Ho-
gan was an active competitor with
the other dry goods merchants. But
when Mr.. Hogan's eyes were closed in
eternal sleep, all thoughts of business
rivalry were forgotten by the other
merchants in his line, and they COM
bined to honor his memory by sus-
pending business, on the busiest day
of the week, during the time of the
funeral. 1t was at once a tribute to
Mr.. Hogan's popularity and an earnest
of the broad and kindly spirit of the
merchants.

How a Great speech Was Lost.

1t is declared that ex-Judge Julius
Mayer wears the most expensive cloth
ing of any of the New York delega-
ton, says a Chicago convention special
in the New York Sun. Judge Mayer
is very handsome man, and one OF
the finest speakers who has been in
this orator-ridden city for long time.
The other evening he entered the cafe
of the Auditorium and was called upon
Immediately to make a few remarks.
Judge Mayer would have been glad to
obiige his friends with a sample OF
what real speaking Is, but he happened
to have a spring overcoat over his
arm and it was so valuable that he
did not dare to entrust II to even his
most intimate friends for safe keeping
while he was on his feet
As no orator can do his best without
the free use OF both of his hands and
arms, Judge Mayer was obliged to dis
appoint a great aggregation OF citi-
zens and officeholders' who were anx-
ious TO hear him utter few thoughts.

Russias cry of warning, that the
/ japanese constitute a yellow peril
for Europe, is met with the response
that the Japanese are not yellow, but
brown, and that racially they are not
Asiatics but of Aryan descent, and are
therefore blood relatives of the white
skinned peoples OF Europe. Some of
the leading French. English and Rus
sian periodicals have lately taken up
the study of the origin of the Japa-
nese, and their Investigations have al
most invariably led them to the con-
clusion that the japanese, equally
with the British, are of Hebrew origin.
and are a portion of the missing
tribes of Israel.
The st. James Gazette is of the opin-
ion that one of these lost tribes made
it's way across the Asiatic mainland
to the islands that are now japan,
after its migration through Medea
through the passes of the Euphrates.
In the book of Esdras in the Apoch-
rypha, the Gazette says, there is GER,
tain evidence going to support this
view of the matter. And, Furthermore,
there are many resemblances be-
TWEEN the religious services of the
Sfiintos Of Japan and those of the
orthodox Jews. THE Shinto temples,
like the Jewish synagogues, have a.
holy place and a holy of holies, and
representation of an ark and cistern."
The dress of the Shinto priest is much
like that of the Jewish rabbi. The
Shintos offer unleaven bread and sweet
wine and first fruits. Several of the
Shinto festivals fall upon the same
days as the Jewish, and many of the
ceremonies are practically identical.
The st. Petersburg Zeitung says
there are many physical Characters
tics of the Japanese people that go to
indicate their Aryan origin. Types
of almost absolutely Aryan complex
ion are by no means rare" is says. In
the old and leading families of the Jap
anese the head structure is practically
identical with that of the white
skinned peoples of Europe. and there
are decided differences between the
heads, eyes, ears, noses, chins, etc., of
the Japanese and those of the Chinese
and other Asiatics.
The London Spectator calls atten-
ton to the fact that the Japanese lived
apart from all other people for centu-
ed a civilization and a language. OF
their own, and habit of political
thinking widely different from that of
any other Asfatic people," The Spec
tator canvasses the matter at length
and arrives at the conclusion that the
laps ARE no more. Asiatic than they
are European"
A Paris magazine, looking into the
ancient laws of Japan, finds in them a
close parallel to many of the ancient
laws of the Jews. Some of the penal
ties and punishments are identical.
The conclusion of this magazine is that
climate and environment, and the ad-
dition of strains of Monaghan and
Malay blood, are responsible for the
physical and temperamentaI character
istics which distinguish the Japanese
from other races of admitted Aryan
descent.
The discussion is not conclusive, of
course, but it is interesting. Heretofore
we have regarded the Japanese as be-
ing as distinctly Asiatic as the Chi
nese. To be now told that they are of
Jewish origin and nearly related to
the Greeks, Latins. slavs and Teu-
tons will strike the average reader as
a novel proposition.

Transformntion Of Shabby mann.


A certain New York man whose hank
account is so fat that it takes six
figures to measure it used to go around
looking reprehensibly shabby, says the
New York Press. Recently there has
been a change in his appearance. Now
adays his attire is really natty and he
shaves at least three times a week,
One day the shabby looking man
went into j. Pierpont Morgan's office
on business connected with charity.
He asked to see Mr.. Clark. who looks
after some of the charity affairs in
which Mr.. Morgan is interested.
MIR. Clarke is not in now" said one
OF the clerks. IF you will come to-
morrow you may be able to catch him
and possibly he will help you little.''
The shabby looking man thought
that closing sentence sounded rather
queer.
THANK you,' he said saroastically
You are very kind"
That's all right" replied the clerk.
I've been broke myself"
The shabby looking man saw light.
oh" he said.
Since then the shabby looking man
has ceased to be shabby.
