HORSE HAD LONG MEMORY.
No Bagpipe Player Could Bother Him

Outrageously assaulted by a horse
in Brooklyn nor belted in lint, not
to speak of being arrested by the
Adams street police, says the
New York Herald.
Dressed in real Highland kits,
McTullOch went down Bridge

night. The street was crowded
with peddlers' wagons and shop

At Concord and Bridge streets
stood the horse of Peter Harper.
eli Hi! Hip went McTulloch.
Beyond the horse there was an
Assyrian serving out fortunes by
the occult canary route at penny

"Ye-ho, ye-ho, ye-hO-hi-ho-he,"
went McTulloch.
The dispenser of fortunes gave
him a penny to go away. The Nc
TullOch thought the coin was a
tangible token of appreciation.
"HO-hO-ho-hOw went McTul-

Peter Harper's horse reared and
rushed at the piper.

The horse butted him on the be-

When McTulloch's bagpipes ex-

crowd pulled the horse off. In a
neighboring drug store the dents
in the bosom of the highlander

horse was an old circus animal,
bred in England. 1t was once
stolen by wild McFarlane, he ex-

PRoNoUNcING "BALEIeH.,

~ Conjecture Is Against Sounding

according to Mr.. Adrian Wheel
er "the pronunciation of 'Ra-
ici9h' seems TO be Rawley3
Whether this only means "seems
TO be" is to be surmised, says
Notes and Queries.
The question is what was the
pronunciation at the period indi.
Gated? And surely that is much a
matter of surmise also. "When
Sir Walter Raleigh's name was
told cRaleigh0, said the king:
On my soule, mon. have not
heard rawley of thee. mot "raw-
ley'D.
The conjecture presumably must
be that King James, with la
bored joke, founded on the sound
then given to Raleigh Tor Rawley),
meant: | have not heard "real-
ly,' with the "rale" sound that
the Irish still give to the word
"reap or rarely with the
meaning: 81 have heard rare
things of thee" or the same word
with the present meaning: IL
have heard seldom of thee (of
late)."
The assumption that King
James must have sounded the let

quires some proof.

able to the present writer that
the men who wrote "Mautland"
may have pronounced the word
"Mautland," but it is inconceiva

could have sounded the name
"MOrtland," for that is what our
modern tongues have brought the

origin for the surname of era

stands to this day in the way of the

En- PEASANT it may be worth re-
marking that "rare meat and
"raw meat" are much about the
same thing. Can it be proved that
"rare" with the "raw" meaning, is
anything more than a phonetic
spelling of the sound given of old
to the combined letters raw?

BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Hanna Gained His Fame During
One Term AS Senator.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Marcus
A. Hanna was born in New Lisbon,
Columbia county, Ohio, September
"a, 1887. He removed with his par.
ents to Cleveland in 1882. He was
educated IN the common schools of
Cleveland and the Western Reserve
college at Hudson, Ohio. He was
employed in the wholesale grocery
OF Hanna, Garretson g. Co., his
father being the senior member
His father died in 1862. Mark"
represented his interests in the firm
until 1867, when the firm closed up.
He then became a member of
Rhodes q Co., dealers in iron and
coal. After ten years the firm was
changed to M. A. Hanna & Co.,
which still occupies several floors
in the sPerry-Payne building in
Cleveland.
He was largely identified with
the lake carrying business, owning
vessels and constructing vessels.
He was president of the Union Ma
tional Bank, of Cleveland, and of
the city street railway. He was
appointed.by President Cleveland,
in 1885, a director of the Union Pa
ci6c railway, and was delegate-at-
large to the Republican national
conventions of 1884 and 1889, and
chairman of the Republican nation
al committee since 1896, when he
made national reputation as or
ganizer of the interests that nomi-
mated Mckinley, as we'll as elected
him.

TYNER,s APPEAL.

Ex-Postmaster- General Tyner has
put the President in a hole. This Is
SC plainly the case that many man
viii commiserate the Chief Executive.
Nobody need care for his embarrass-
ment as an Individual. but as the head
of the Nation there will be general re-
greet that the great office is to be be-
draggled as 1t Is sure to be when
Roosevelt comes to make his reply to
1yner's demand for an apology. Ty-
ner has him on the hip. When the first
report on the postoffice Irregularities
was made public, Roosevelt singled out
Tyner for condemnation and abuse as
the head offender. This denunciation
was telegraphed all over the country.
Tyner was indicted and on his trial he
courted the fullest investigation of ev-
cry official act. The jury was out for
a few minutes only and returned a YER
dict of not guilty. General Tyner has
now in a public letter called on the
President to disown the slanderous
charge and make amends in some way
for the wrong he had inflicted.
TIE President is sweating over a re-
ply He has called in the highest law
officer of the Government and the spe-
cial counsel that was employed to pros
ecute Tyner's case. They have put
their heads together and we are to
know sometime this week just what in
their Judgment can be properly urged
by way of extenuation or excuse for
Rcosevelts impetuous emptying of a
sxrffh
foot in the grave.
viii they say the President had suf
hcient evidence to warrant his conduct
oc that he was hasty and regrets it or
was foolishly and dead wrong and can
only say he Is sorry? He is morally
bound to make some sort of answer to
the old man. He cannot decently treat
him with contempt now in the face of
his indecent haste in damning him be-
fore. 1t is none of our business, but
Il seems his duty is a plain one. Let
him tell the truth about II; confess he
had behaved in an unbecoming man
ner and apologize to the old gentleman
as humbly as may appear consistent
with the dignity of his Office. 1t ought,
though. to measure up even to his
standard of "decency," be manly, frank
and open in view of the hysterical SLAM
der he uttered.
1t is more likely. though, he will
consider the straightforward course as
not BETTING one occupying the august
most he holds. He will probably shut
fie and shuttle yet some more in an eff
fort to put a good face upon a piece of
conduct that was an outrage and moth
tn6 but an outrage. Or will he restate
his case and repeat his charges and
contend there has been a miscarriage
of Justice? If he does, 1t is to be hoped
the old man for the sake of novelty
win at once institute a suit for Grim
inaI libel and test the question of
whether with us as in England, the
King can do no wrong.

When Reconciliation Began.

If Lincoln had not been killed. Possibly
he could have managed the reconstruc-

displayed by both sides precluded any
great strides at reconciliation. 1t re-

more than one man to eliminate the

sections began touching elbows in the
industrial development of the country.
Considering everything, the country
has made wonderful progress against

rect though decidedly harsher to saw
ignorance instead of INSTRUMENTATION;

were considered enemies, II was bad
enough. We should all be thankful Tor
the outcome, and should also cry down
those who raise an occasional discor-
dant note.

of West Virginia.; Aldrich of Rhode
Island; Penrose of Pennsylvania; MUIR
ply of New Jersey; Odell of New YORK;
Root of New York; Gallinger of New
Hampshire and Crane of Massachu-
sets, were only a few of them. But
the President kept his counsels and
said nothing.
Finally he had a long interview with
unfolded to him the sort of campaign
he desired to have conducted. The
President is reported to have express
ed the belief that there would be a
hard fight and that very large sums of
money would be expended to defeat
him. but declared he did not want his
election to depend on use of money
He believed that he could be elected
without the purchase of votes at the
polls, and. he had an estimate made of
the amount that could be legitimately
used.
This was fixed at million and a half
Mr.. Bliss thought he could raise that
amount.
In the great struggle of 1895, when
so much money was spent in an edu-
cational campaign. the amount dis
bursed by the National Committee was
in the neighborhood of four millions

That Is how Mr.. Cortelyou came to

embarrassing feature about 1t. The an

dent was ready. Both Senator Aid

themselves to be still under considera-

Railroad Losses.

IldllTOdu 1dEetle.
The returns of gross earnings for
April from the railroads in the country
furnish, as whole, an unfavorable
showing. Seventy-two roads report a
decrease in gross earnings over April
of last year of $2,771,S10. OF forty
seven of the more important railroads
reporting earnings for the month,
thirty-fve show decreases in gross
This is in direct contrast to April of
last. year, when nearly two thirds of
the railroads reported increases
Numerous reasons are advanced for
this loss in gross cummings, the most
important of which are the present
apathy of the general trade situation
in the iron and steel and the cotton
grain. and lumber industries; a number
of minor local strikes, and an unusual
ly severe and protracted winter which
not only seriously crippled trafic on q
large number of roads, but which
greatly retarded the opening season of
navigation and transportation.
The showing of gross earnings for
April. however, should not be a cause
for pessimism. as all the general con-
ditions have been against the rail-
roads. There seems no reason to be-
lteve that earnings are permanently on
the downward path, nor is the pros
perity of the country as seriously ar
fected as the returns which have been
received would indicate. 1t should be
remembered that many railroads in the
North and Northwest barely earned
their fixed charges in January. Februa-
ry and March, but that a deficit for
this quarter does not necessarily mean
deficit for the whole year. Current
earnings are unfavorable, but not so
very unfavorable when 1t is taken into
consideration that they are being COM
pared with the earnings of last year at
this time. when the spring traffic once
gets under way, the tonnage and reve-
nues of the railroads should increase
very rapidly, and when at the end of
the year everything is averaged up the
decrease in earnings for the first part
of 1904 is likely to appear of less sig
nificance than it now does.
