Max O'Re1l's Opinion of Four Peo-

HAA
pies Given In Gestures.
"When Max O'Rell came to Montreal
some years ago." said a man from mat
city to a Detroit Journal contributor,
I'VE fixed up a little joke on him. We
had noticed how gracefully he could
unite a caustic criticism with 4 compli-
ment, a faculty that enabled him to
say the sharpest things without offend
Ing the people he was criticisirS. We
were gsing to put the faculty to Il test.
1--WE had him lunch with u.s., and
there were at the table besides himself
an Englishman, a Scotchman, an Irish
ma and a French-Canadian. When
we got our guest off his guard we de-
handed an honest opinion Of the differ
emit races we represented. AS the opin-
Ion had to be given in the presence OF
all four. the situation for him was a
rather delicate one. But it never SEEM
ed to trouble him. and he gave his opin-
ion without a moments hesitation.
1.-The Scotchman.' he said, and he
clinclied his right hand tightly and
pretended to try to force 1t open with
his left. The Englishman'- and he
went through the same performance,
opening the hand at the end after an
apparent struggle. The Irishman'-
and. he held out his hand wide open,
with the palm upward. The French
man and he made a motion with
both hands as if he were emptying
them on the tabs.
There was not a word of explana-
ton. but we all understood thoroughly
and had n hearty laugh. Max O'Rell

The winner of a prize of a guinea
offered by the London academy to thu
person who should select the three
most pregnant and felicitous sentences
from any authors. chose the following
three quotations. The first was from
Ruskin:
Fancy plays like a squirrel In Its
circular prison and Is happy: but imag-
nation is a pilgrim on the earth-and
her home is in heaven" The second
sentence was taken from the works OF
Mazzini: "Discouragement Is but dis
enchanted egotism." The third was
the following from Robert Louis Ste
yenson: THE true wisdom Is to be al
ways ~seasonable, and to change with
a good grace in changing circum-
stances. To love playthings well as a
child. to lead In adventurous and hon

JUNE 70 WILL Be
DATE OF ELECTION
Beard of Revenue Decided at
Meeting Yesterday
TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS
Local School Tax to BE Voted on And
Also Question Of 100000 Bond
Issue For Court
House.
TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS

The board OF revenue has decided to call
an election on June 20 to decide the aues-
tion Of an additional tax OF 10 cents on
the 500 for the benefit Of the schools of
agitating this question for some time and
1t was finally brought to a head in the
action Of the board yesterday.
The board decided to also incorporate
in this election the question of the ac-
quiescence of the people in bond is
sue of 100000 for the improvement of
the present county courthouse. The court
house, 1t Is said, is entirely inadequate to
accommodate the business which has
grown upon 1t in the last few years and
several extensions are regarded as abso-
lutely necessary
Among those who appeared before tho
board In advocacy of fixing a day for the
election were Rufus N. Rhodes, e. K.
Campbell, Mayor Drennen and Henry b.
Gray A. o. Lane, 70. J. Smyer, superin-
tendent of Education McAdory Profess
sor s. A. Ellis and Professor Walker.
After the board had acted ID. X. Can1n-
The board Of revenue has fixed June
TO- 1904, as the time for the election
to determine whether or not local tax
of 10 cents on the 500 worth Of property
shall be levied. Every one acquainted
with the conditions seems TO admit the ne
cessity of supplying additional funds for
the public schools, especially the country
schools. 1t seems certain that the best
method of raising the money Is by local
taxation instead of by increasing valua-
lions. The campaign for this tax will be
vigorously prosecuted. If local tax
voted and levied 1t need not be necessary
to increase valuations and the money real
ICED will stay here to be spent upon the
schools in Jefferson county. The pro-
rosed tax will bring about s4s. 900, which
will be distributed according to school
population throughout this county.
ITO raise a similar amount by increas-
ing values would necessitate the raising
of more than 100000 additional for schools
OF which more than so per cent would
leave this county and be expended in
other portions of the state
1T seems to me. therefore. that as a
practical business proposition It is very
much better for us to get the money by
local taxation. Jefferson county needs
more money for Its schools, and l have
no doubt the peopie will vote the tax"

THOMPSON ELECTED
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
Name of AIdrich Not Presented
for Chairman
REPUBLICANS NOT THROUGH
Convention AdJourns Until This Morn
ina When Order of Business
VIII Be Finished-Platform In
dorses President Roosevelt.

After a day of party turmoil in which
political rumors had many delegates
guessing as to which way to land on the
winning ticket. the republican state con-
vention unanimously elected Joseph o.
Thompson chairman of the republican ex-
ecutve committee last night amid wild
scene of excitement. The name Of w. F.
Aldrich was not presented to the con-
vention and Mr.. Aldrich was one of the
three to second the nomination of Mr..
Thompson. Charles ]. Scott of Montgom-
cry was endorsed for member of the ma
tional republican committee.
The forcing of several test votes early
last night showed plainly how the dele
gates were aligned and when all was over
but the shouting P. M. Long of Walk
err made a speech placing the name of
Mr.. Thompson in nomination. When he
had concluded it was several minutes be-
fore order could be maintained on ac-
count of the continuous cheering II. v.
Cashin, a negro delegate from Decatur
made a speech seconding the nomination.
The vote was then taken and Thompson
was declared elected. He was escorted
to the chair and made a speech advocat-
ing republican principles and denouncing
the attitude of the democratic party on
current questions.
A spirited fight arose over the election
of a negro delegate to the national con-
vention between Ad Winds and A. N.
Johnson of Mobile Both made speeches
which caused much cheering and amuse-
nent but the matter was finally referred
to the committee on resolutions.
The committee on resolutions made a
report and the convention adjourned I'M
til this morning.
A committee was appointed to recon-
mend candidates to oppose the democratic
nominees in the November election.
The platform says in part:
THE best interests of all sections OF
the country and all classes of its citl-
zenship will be best subserved by tho
nomination and election of Theodore
Roosevelt to the presidency of the United
States, and the continuance Of republican
control in all branches of the govern
ment. To that end the delegation from
this state to the republican national con-
vention is instructed and directed to cast
its vote solidly for Theodore Roosevelt
as our nominee for President.
I'VE endorse the Presidents action
touching the Panama canal, by which the
American flag will float forever over a
great inter- waterway, long de-
sired and vainly sought.
"As one of the foremost republicans Of
today we favor as our candidate for vice
president, Hon. C. w. Fairbanks of Indi-
ana, and our delegates to the national
republican convention are instructed to
vote for him for this place and to use all
honorable means to secure his nominal
tion."

zoo BOYS HAVE
ADDED $500 MORE
WILL BEGIN SELLING TICKETS TO
MRS. TOLLEYS PERFORMANCE
IN A FEW DAYS, AND EXPECT
TO REALIZE MUCH MONEY.

The boys at the head of the Children
with a vim yesterday morning and sew
eral of them said last night that they
believed at least 800 more had been add
ed to the elephant fund. The boys are
determined to have the necessary 1920
In hand by the first of June and express
great confidence In being able to start to
New York just as soon as the schools are
closed for the summer.
President Clabaugh says that many
boys in the city have been under the
impression that unless they were men,
bers of the geological association at the
beginning of the movement they could
not enter the contest. This is erroneous.
Anybody who secures as much as 10
cents for the zoo is a member Of the as
ISOLATION and by going to Pres dent Cla-
baugh and getting a card he has the
right to solicit subscriptions from any,
body and enter the contest for a place
on the committee that goes to New York.
Within a few days the tickets to the
performance to be given by Mrs. Tolley
at the Jefferson theatre on June 2d, will
be ready and the boys will bfgin selling
them before the end of the week. The
money secured for these tickets will
count just the same as If the boys hac
secured contribution The one selling
the largest number of tickfts will be
given fifty extra votes, the second thirty
votes and the third twenty votes. The
boys expect to realize a considerable sum
of money out of the performance.
II has been decided that beautiful
programme should be issued and the
money secured for advertisements there
on should be given to fund for the bird
department of the zoo. This WIS done
at the suggestion Of Mrs. Tplley, who is
taking great interest in tie movement.
