New York, Nov. 9.-Theodore Roose-
welt, of New York, has been elected pres
ident of the United States, and Charles

by an Overwhelming majority. The pop
nlar plurality of the candidates is esti-
mated at over 100000. They well re-
ceive 343 votes in the electoral college
as against 1873 for Parker and Davis. the
democratic candidates. When his cleo
ton was certain President Roosevelt an
nounced that he would not be a candi-
date for another term.
The "solid south" was broken by the
detection of Missouri, which has given
Roosevelt a plurality estimated at TO-
500, and has elected the entire repub-
lican state ticket with the exception OF
Folk, who was chosen governor by 1000
plurality. Republicans also elected
eight congressman, and secured ma
jority on joint ballot in the state legis-
lature, assuring the election of a repub-
lican United States senator to succeed
Senator Cockrell.

19-year-old daughter Bertha, and their
son Paul, aged IA years. were murdered
Thursday night by an unknown assassin.
who set fire to the home in an effort to
cover his crime. Before the fire had
made any great Roadway the bodies of
the murdered woman and her two chill
dren were rescued from the burning
house.
All Were Murdered.
An examination of the bodies showed
that Mrs. Weber and the children had
been murdered before the fire had been
started. The daughter had been killed
by a pistol wound, as had been Mrs.
Weber. On the boys head were several
deep cuts. He had also been shot. All
efforts to reach Julius Weber, the father,
who was not thought to be in the burning
house, was abandoned until Friday when
a search was made in the burning tim
bers and his body was found in the bath
room Of the dwelling. He. to, had been
shot down before being left to be con-
sumed by the flames. It had been as
certained beyond a doubt that the women
were killed in one room and their cloth
ing set on fire, and that they were then
dragged into the apartment where their
bodies were discovered.
Son Has Theory.
Adolph Weber, the son, aged 20. who
is the only member of the family alive,
talks but little, but to the coroner and
sheriff he says he did not think the mo-
tive was either robbery or revenge.
When asked If he had theory he said
he had. but would not give it. He did
say, reluctantly. that his father had a
violent temper. The boy said he left
the house about $50 and came down
town, purchased a pair of trousers and
did several other errands. When he went
to the fire he dropped his old trousers.

building. He is now at the home Of

TAwNEY ON HAWAII.

Z Congressman Tawney is reported to
have urged Hawaii to forego its Ter
ritoria1 status and come in with Porto
colonial plan which might secure to ii
the control of it's customs revenues and

It does not seem likely that this idea
because of the probability that our SUI
gar would lose its right of way in the
+ american market. AS P. C. Jones
pointed out in his digest Of the fnan-
EzaI benefits had from annexation, the
levy OF a duty on the Hawaiian staple
would bring losses which the return
Of our customs revenues could not be-
gin to offset And il our sugar were to
ne deprived of its free home market
4 zhe question OF labor would lose its
Importance to US.
As a Territory our sugar is safe. No
constitutional law can put a duty ON it.
AS q colony our sugar business would
have to stand on the tariff basis adopt

would be served alike; and as soon as
the non-contiguous territory began to

the colonial system would do for it,

Hawaii cannot wisely accept any
Psnodihcation of its present status. It is

German Army Decadence.

Considerable sensation has been made
in Paris by the appearance in the Gil
Bias of an article entitled "The Great
ness and Decadence of the German
Army" The author is evidently very
familiar with conditions in that serv-
ice. The points he makes are that the
general discomfort and spirit of revolt
in labor circles are extending to the
army, being taken there by the youths
from the towns and cities. By them
it, is communicated to the youth from
the country, who, at the end of their
service, take it home with them. The
immediate results are seen in the in
creasing unwillingness of the youth of
the country to join the colors, for they
know beforehand the severe treatment
they are likely to receive. The author
says also that the average German
officer is not only lacking in enthusi-
asm in his duties, but is actually cold
toward them, accepting them as the
dullest routine.

Variety In Fashions.

Individual taste has free rein this
year in every department of fashion.
A woman may wear velvet, cloth or
zibeline for her gowns; may wear lin
en-, silk, wool or cotton vesting for her
shirt waist; she may wear russet or
black shoes and choose velvet, lace,
silk or felt hat, all to suit her fancy.
And in coats the same thing holds true
with but few exceptions.
The black silk coat, once omnipres-
ent, has suffered an almost complete
extinction. Even covert coats are out,
except for morning wear and shopping.
The materials now in favor are velvet,
heavy smooth cloth, zibeline and fancy
cloakings.
Fur coats are always good style, and
more of them will be worn this year
than ever, for the reason that the many
fantastic conformations allowed will
permit many women to have their half
worn fur garments made over at small
expense with low priced furs.

The simplest gown for the young girl
just appearing in society is considered
the smartest. After her first two or
three appearances she may wear as
elaborate gowns as she pleases, but at
first she will stick to sweet simplicity.
Youth and simplicity are twin sisters
in the matter of dress, and the wise girl
who has discovered this fact never
again forgets it.
The debutante's gown is almost in
variably white, though occasionally a
dash or two of color is used if the style
of the girl requires it. The neck may
be finished in any one of three ways
