ROCKEFELLER CHARITIES

1t leaked out the other day through
the statement of prominent busl-
ness man of New York city, whose ac-
quaintance with Jcan D. Rockefeller
is a close one, that the terms of the
Rockefeller will are SO drawn that
the numerous charities to which ne
now contributes regularly will receive
the same benefits yearly as they do
now. 1t isn't known whether this will
include the University of Chicago or
not, but it does include scores and
scores of institutions and private char
tiles which are kept alive by the gen.
erosity of Mr.. Rockefeller, and of
which the world at large knows but
little.

PARDON RECORDS COMPARED

In his speech at Conway Judge
Wood made a comparison of Governor
Davis pardon record with these OF
former governors, and the comparison
is not at all flattering to Governor
Davis. Governor Clarke issued ia
pardons in two years, Governor Eagle
400 hundred in four years, and Cover
ncr Davis, the pardon governor in
two and one-half years over 700 The
pardons were granted in majority of
cases where the law was flagrantly
violated by the convicts, as in the
Pomp Brown. Collins, Simmons, Har-
dy and otucky pardons.

The Fort Smith News Record takes
the following view of the gubernatorial
race: Davis is on the run. He is
a great bluffer-take away his bluff,
his humbug and his seft conceit, and
there would be precious little left OF
this man--and he is only blufing when
he pretends that he is certain of re-
election He is afraid of Wood, and
he shows it by refusing to any longer
meet him in joint debate. Davis sees
the handwriting on the wall, and de-
spite his illiteracy, and overwhelming
coarseness, he can read the chirogra-
ply"

PAIR OF DONkEYS REBUKED

The Little Rock Gazette tells about
a rebuke administered to pair of
young donkeys at the Capital theater
in that city by Miss Charlotte Titte4l,
the star in The Cavalier last ,Satur-
day night. The Gazette tells the story
as follows:
The episode occurred near the
elise of the second act The Federal
Captain Jewett, fatally wounded by
the treachery of Captain Oliver, who
is the husband of the heroine, comes
to where the latter is to inform her
of his baseness, which, by the way,
she knows all about. The Federal cap
tain is in love with the lady and there
is supposed to be an affecting death
scene in which the heroine falls to her
knees. her back to the audience and
play for the young officer.
"Suddenly Miss Tittell arose from
her knees, advanced to the footiyh, S,
aud addressing the audience. said: \
wish those who do not like the per
formanee would leave the house, as
there may be some here who do like
it..
With the exception of few in the
audience near TIE front, everybs ay

this outburst, as the ,.eater was about
as quiet as usual.
1T appears that in the second row
in the middle section couple of young
men had been making merry over the
performance. among other frolics be

catch the tears that the pathetic parts
might produce. Their actions wer'

mand Il the presidents forces Cir
cumstances have combined to compel
the president t. place all his rell-
ance upon Quay's political sagacity and
experience Quay was not his choice
when he undertook to pick a man Tor
the important post of political adviser
First he asked Hanna to accept the
place and Hanna refused. Tnen he
sent for Ex-Governor Murry Cane OF
Massachusetts and tried to draft him,
but Mr.. Crane was too much engrOss.
ed with personal business affairs.
Next Secretary Root was requested to
step in and fill the gap vacated by
Hanna and Crane, but he, too, declined
The president found himself in the
unfortunate position Of having to rely
upon the politicians of his cabinet and
he realized that he was in a bad way
Just when or under what circum-
stances .enator Quay injected himself
into the presidents political affairs
is not clear.
It was dicovered soon after the sell
ator returned from Florida, whittier ne
fled t. escape the opportunities of
Pennsylvania Republicans who desir-
ed him to support Hanna for pre5i-
dent, that he was making nightly Wis
its to the White House and sitting up
with the president until past midnight.
He continued those visits until he be-
came sick and had to 60 to Philad@l.
phia for treatment. He has resumed
them again. The cure effected in
Quay's case was little short of mar
velous. Friday he ate roll and dran..
a glass Of milk and tive. hours later
physicians operated upon him with a
stomach pump. saturday he heard
that Hanna was in Washington and
before noon the Pennsylvania boss
was emerging from carriage in front
of the executive Office. He remained
with the president nearly an hour on
the occasion cf that visit and return
ed to the White House later in the
day and remained several hours.
Teddy must certainly be severe
dose for the Republican leaders if it
has such a serious effect on man
like Quay, a man who has been ac
Gust ned to dealing with the nauseat-
ing things in Republican politics.
Quay has good grit. however, and
if anybcdy can go through campaign
as Roosevelt's boss without having to
give up the job before it is finished,
Quay is that man.

WHY GRAPHIC is FOR sALLEE

The Graphic is not lending its sup.
port to Mr.. l.. T. Sallee in his race
for county and probate clerk for any
personal reasons. The Graphic is not
governed by personal reasons in its
support of any person for position
of public trust. 1t considers only the
just claims of the aspirants, and the
election ed Mr. Sallee or Mr.. Core
could in no sense whatever result in
any personal advantage to- the
Graphic. When it comes to matter
OF personal relations those between
the Graphic and Mr. Core could not
be more pleasant, and it is for no per.
sonal reason that it prefers the. ncmi-
nation of Mr. Sallee to Mr.. Core.
Mr.. Sallee has been an earnest
worker for the Democratic party foS
the last twenty years, and during that
time he has never had an office ex-
cept deputyship, and if Office is to
be awarded for faithful party services,
he has never received it. Mr.. Core has
also been a loyal Dems.crat, but not
for so long time as Mr.. Sallee, and
he has received his reward in the
way Of four years as county treasurer.
1t has been the policy of the Demo
cracy of Jefferson county for a num-
ber of years to promote man after
he has served several years as a capa-
BILE and efficient deputy by electinG
him to the Office, hence Mr.. sallee, in
aspiring to the Office of county and
probate cle-k, is only following an
old and established precedent in this
county, as he has been deputy coun-
ty and probate clerk for the past eight
years. and his books, and those who
have had business with the Office, can
testify to his efficiency and accuracy
in his work.
Mr. Sallee is not man Of wealth,
but, like the great mass of the people
of Jefferson county, is compelled to
earn his daily bread by the sweat of
an honest brow He is a deserving
servant, and is entirely worthy of the
promotions and suffrage Of the people
On the ether hand Mr. Core is &
young man of wealth, and while al
enthusiastic Democrat. whatever ser
vices he has rendered to the party in
the past have been amply rewarded
by the yer. easy and lucrative office Of
county treasurer for two terms.
That Mr.. Core has made good Off
Ger will not be Quesuoned; that he
is what is known as an astute politi-
clan and a god mixer will not be
denied. but he is young yet and at his
present age has already been reward
ed with the emoluments of office more
literally than the average Democrat
who has spent his entire life in the
service of the party. In view of this.
fact ii would seem becoming in Mr.
Core at this time to retire With his r.
wards of oflc, fer season in fay1ss
of those Of equal capacity and ability.
and who have given longer service to
their party without reward. The vot,
ers OF this county owe no further otl.
cations t. Mr.. Core unless it be their
desire to make him a continuous Off
-ceholder at the expense of others
equally as deserving

HOLDS CONTESTS
 ID BE LOTTERIES Newspaper Guessing Contests
 Will be Stopped CABINET HOLDS MEETING Rear Admiral of American Navy VIII Be Appointed on the Russo-5ritish
 Tribunal to Investigate
 North Sea Affair.
CABINET HOLDS MEETING

Washington, November 29.-An impor- tant meeting of the cabinet was held to- day. Two questions of concern. particu- larly, were considered, the first being the appointment by the President of representative of the American govern ment. who will be a naval officer of high rank, on the tribunal which is to deter mine the questions which have arisen between Great Britain and Russia over the North sea incident and the other be- ing an opinion rendered by Attorney General Moody regarding the legality un- der the lottery laws of guessing con- testsY which have been conducted by many newspapers and magazines.
 No definite conclusion as to who should be selected as a member of the tribunal has been reached, but 1t was settled definitely that the appointee would be a rear admiral of the navy. It is practically settled that the selection will be made among three officers-Rear Admirals Da- wis, Chadwick and Sands. Announce ment of an appointment may be expected in few days.
 Bome time ago on the request of Post : ns ster General Wynne the President di- reeted the attorney general 10 submit to him an opinion IS to the propriety un- der the law restricting the operation of lottery enterprises through the mails of guessing contests of various kinds. That opinion was submitted today and was turned over by the President to Postmas- ter General Wynne who hereafter will be guided in his direction of the depart ment by 1t. The opinion Is of a most sweeping character and while the post
 master general has no inclination to work
 hardship upon anybody, he will put the 1 attorney generals opinion Into effect as
 soon as may be practical. He realizes
 that many thousands of people have in- vested small or large amounts of money l in the various schemes in the hope or
 expectation that luck would enable them
 to win large returns "A comparatively
 small percentage of the participants will l realize their expectations" continues the 1 opinion. Thousands get nothing"

carnesIe's Name Was Signed.

Boston. November 29.-Herbert D. New bert of Brooklyn, the plaintiff in the suit against Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick refused tonight to discuss the case In any phase, but referred inqurers to his counsel, Percy w. Carver.
 At his home in Newton tonight MT. Carver told an Associated Press repre- sentative that important developments in the case of Mrs. Chadwick were expected within a few days.
 Referring particularly to the note for $500, GOO said to have been signed with the name of Andrew Carnegie, MT. Carver said:
 "In MT. Newton's bill of complaint which has been filed in the suit against Mrs. Chadwick. Mir Newton alleges that as an inducement for him to loan Mrs. Chadwick $190,S00. Mrs. Chadwick showed him a note for $500.000 which was signed by man which MT. Newton believed to be fully responsible as one who could stand behind such loan as was request ed prefer not to state the name signed to this note, but you can say that we do not contradict the statement that the note bore the signature of Andrew Car negie."
 Further details of the case were fur nished an Associated Press representative tonight by one largely indenti1ed with the present litigation. By this person it was said that Mir. Newtons loan of Sl90- 800 to Mrs Chadwick was made purely as a business proposition. He continued "Mr Newtons judgement, 1t will be al- legged, was influenced by the certificate of Ira Reynolds secretary and treasurer of the Wade Park banking company of

 Assault on Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg. November 29-Aceord- ing to information which has reached the war office here Field Marshal Oyama strength IS much smaller than heretofore believed tending to confine the theory that a large force has been withdrawn to assist in s.lrming Port Arthur.
 This information is to the enect that not much more than 15o,000 men are now confronting General kuropatkin, but the Japanese ines are heavily fortified in order to check any aggressive movement which Kuropatkin might undertake long enough to enable the Japanese to hurry up reinforc ements by rail from the penin- sula. The present activity of the Japa- nese along the front, these reports indi- cate, is only feinting to convince kuro- patlkins offensive move is imminent. Should this important intelligence be ab- solutely confirmed it is possible that the Russian commander-in-chief may himself attempt to strike a quick blow. Kuro- patkin is LOW supposed to have nearly 800 900 men.

There was bronze live turkey sent from Milwaukee. This turkey was never taken out of its box, but was shipped to Oyster Bay because Of It's beauty. and is living peaceably with the rest of the inhabitants of the barnyard. No such incident as that recounted has ever taken place since the President has been in the White House, and nothing in the remotest degree resembling 1t has ever taken place."

 "No attention would have been paid to this attack if 1t had been upon the Pres ident personally, but as it has been ex- tended to the members of his family he feels that he ought to reply to it.'
