GARTER sUPERsTITioNs

Here are few garter superstitions
that still survive:
Gold garter buckles are lucky" and
silver ones the reverse.
Tho girl who wears her garters be-
low the knee will early lose her
beauty.
To put on the left garter before the
right on dressing in the morning will
bring bad luck all day.
The marriage Of a bride who wears
any but white garters on her wedding
day will have an unhappy ending.
THE luckiest colors for garters are
white, blue and black. The wearer of
yellow garters win lose friend with
in a year.
If garter breaks in church the
wearer's marriage will be happy, but
II the accident happens at a dance it
is sign that the wearer's sweetheart
is faithless to her.--Exchange.

TARHEEL
Democrats to Hold State
Convention.

Raleigh, N. c.. June 21.--Interest has
deepened in the Democratic State con-
vention which will begin Thursday at
Greensboro and which now seems
probable will have a new feature = a
two days session. The two leading
candidates for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, Robert B. Glenn and Chas, M.
Stcadman are so close that they seemed
TO have choked each other and this
causes belief that some one else will
get the nomination which is equivalent
to an election by at least 10000 ma
jority.
1t is claimed by the supporters of
Theodore F. Davidson, third aspirant
in the race, that the Glenn following
will go to Davidson. w. ID. Turner,
the present lieutenant governor, is the
fourth aspirant.

PH|PPS SCANDAL
Furnishes Plenty Of Ex-
element. Y

Pittsburg, June 21.--Today proved
full of excitement for followers of the
Lawrence c. Phipps scandal. Mrs.
Phipps, who for some time has posed
as the defensive end of the contro
versy, this morning, threw bomb in
to the camp of her millionaire hus-
band by announcing that she had
terms to submit, terms which II not ac-
cepted within three days would be
followed by suit for divorce to be
filed by her in Pittsburg, where she
would insist ON an open and public
hearing.
On the other hand should her terms
he accepted she would make no de-
Tense against Mr.. Phipps' suit for di-
vorce now on in Denver. The condi-
tions laid down by Mrs. Phipps today
were that she should have the custo-
dy of her children six months in the
year and that her husband care for
them during the other six months. In
addition to this she must have s3,-
every bit of property which he gave
her since their marriage. Mrs. Phipps
givet him three days in which to set
tie.
Mr.. Phipps had several conferences
with his wifes attorneys today and
then disappeared. He dropped out Of
sight at the Duquesne club and cannot
be found In Pittsburg. Mrs. Phipps
said this evening in her home that
she was biding her time, that she had
submitted her terms to her husband
through her attorneys and that they
were final. She awaits an answer.

SOME TAFFY
Dished Out by the Presi-

Washington, d. c., June 20.-In re-
ceiving delegation of civil war vet
Grams who served in the 23rd New
York regiment, the president this af
ternoon said: Il wish to say just one
word of greeting to you as comrades
and fellow New Workers. | take a pc.
culiar pride as head of the nation in
welcoming representatives of those
men who performed the duties that
ought under ideal conditions to be per.
formed by all Americans; for under
our system of government an ideal, not
wholly attainable ideal, but an ideal
to which we must constantly seek to
approximate, must be when every citi-
zen does his full duty in private life,
in civil life, and so trains and handles
himself as to be able when ever the
nation calls to arms to do his full duty
in military life. You have realized
that ideal, gentlemen, and l congratu-
late you and thank you, and bid you
welcome here"

A TOLEDO PENSION
Case Involves Some I'm
usual Points.

Toledo, June 20.-The United States
government will soon open it's vaults
of gold and silver TO give a Toledo
woman s2,016, which is the amount
of back pension involved in a singular
pension case that has just been set
tied.
The woman to whom the sung little
fortune will come will. until her death
seas, be paid monthly the sum of S12,
which Is her pension as the widow of
a soldier. There is a story back Of
the claim that makes it one of the
most interesting the pension depart
ment has passed on for long time.
A soldiers widow, who is receiving
a pension, gave up the allowance to
become the wife of another soldier.
When the second husband died she APP
piled for pension as his widow. She
was doomed not only to disappoint-
ment but to sad shock, for the pen
sion department informed her that
her second marriage had not made her
wife. Husband No. 2 had wife
living when he married her, conse-
quently she was not his legal widow.
The matter was placed in the hands
of woman pension agent who made
up her mind that her client was en-
titled to pension. And she proceed
ed to get it, She represented to the
pension department that If her client
wasn't the legal widow of husband No.
she had never ceased to be the law
full widow of husband No. 1.
AS widow of the first husband the
petitioner was entitled to restoration
to the pension rolls, from which she
was dropped when she contracted the
second marriage. Being entitled to
restoration she was also entitled to
back pension, which amounted to $2,-
016.
Thus argued the agent and she pro-
ceeded to put the question up to the
pension department. That department
figured it out the same way and in less
than GO days the notice of issue was
in the agents hands. This is the
shortest time in which widows pen
sion has ever been restored as far as
the Ohio records go. Usually at least
three months elapse before anything
is expected of the pension depart
ment.

Henry Lundburg, assistant U. s. In
spector of steam ships. who last spring
inspected the passenger boat that burn
ed in New York harbor and caused the
loss of thousand or more lives, when
put upon the witness stand refused to
give any testimony, claiming that If
he did he would convict himself. There
is not the slightest doubt but that this
inspector was criminally negligent In
his duty and the judge of the court be-
fore whom the hearing was being held
did right in ordering his immediate
arrest for contempt. If Lundburg comes
to trial his refusal to tell the truth
will mitigate against him. He was
shown rotten life preservers and cork
life belts that were useless, and they
were the same ones that he was sup
posed to have passed upon a few weeks
before the disaster, but he refused to
say anything about them.

THE HAY CROP
WILL BE SOMETHING I'M
MENSE THIS YEAR
THE CROP PROSPECTS
For Stark County Report
ed Unprecedented.

The farmers of Stark county are
selling their old hay as rapidly as pos
sible. Every day loads of clean tim
othy are hauled into Canton and Of
fered and prices rather lower than the
quotations. The reason for this is
that never perhaps in the history of
hay crop been as good. Fields that
have not yielded for years are produc-
ing timothy and clover almost as high
as the fences and in the good fields
where the grass set is first class some
farmers state that It is simply amazing
the amount of grass that is upon the
ground. AS one farmer stated, they
would soon have to put extra rails on
the fences to keep the timothy inside
the field.
Not only is the hay crop promising,
but pasture is excellent and the grass
grows so rapidly and thickly that the
weeds have little chance.
Oats and wheat are also growing
nicely, the only fear being that the
oats will go down from sheer weight,
especially if there are any more
heavy rains accompanied with wind.
The clover fields are almost ready for
the moving machine and some will be
cut next week.
Corn and potatoes are growing lux
uriously, the only trouble being that
the weather Is so wet it is almost i'm
possible to work the fields and the
weeds are. getting start in some In
stances.
Fruit prospects are better than an
ticipated Early Richmond and some
other varieties of cherries are already
ripe and show good crops. The later
varieties are promising. Apple trees
every where are loaded with fruit and
the curculio seems to be doing but
little damage. Peach trees show
more than a half crop and on the
higher ridges the amount of fruit set
will be menace to the trees unless
some of it falls off.
The strawberry crop is large but the
demand is so great that there is little
chance of the prices getting much
lower The wet weather viii make a
long season, however.

Those who have been active parti-

the Republican party in recent years
have been considerably worried over
the matter of ways and means. They
have made no concealment of this feel.
ing. Much of the resentment over the
selection of Cortelyou as the chair
man of the committee, by the presi-
dent, has been based upon the fact
that he was not in any way adapted
to the work of raising large cam
paign fund, such as Quay and Hanna
handily succeeded in raising, OF
course the Office holders would con-
tribute, but that has not always been
a fixed asset, and by no means a con-
siderable part of the funds handled
The trusts were known to have lost
loyalty because of the action of the
administration in forcing from the
courts an Interpretation of the anti
trust law, and the possibilities that
such Interpretation revealed.
The Infant industries are more or
less apprehensive at the demand from
the west for tariff revision, and from
other sections for reciprocity. They
are more or less disturbed as to wheth-
er a man of Roosevelt's well-known
temperament can be depended upon to
stand pat" Just recently representa-
tives of the Protective Tariff league
have been to Washington to make GER
tain that the president will incorporate
in his platform for the Chicago con-
vention a declaration that shall be un-
equivical for the continuance of high
protection. They assured him that if
this was done, the beneficiaries there
under would respond literally to the
process of 'fat-frying." They stated
after the conference that the presi-
dent told them that their suggestion
would be faithfully needed.
The triumph of the trusts is getting
Attorney General Knox removed from
the cabinet, and the confidence that
they have in being able to induce the
selection of man as his successor
who will resist the orders of the pres
ident, should they be given, to proceed
with prosecutions, it is believed, will
put them in a situation to respond to
the call for funds for campaign pur-
poses, as they met the demands of Mr.
Hanna four years ago. Those who
have been anxious about the possibil-
ity of the immense corruption fund,
then, are feeling very much easier at
the turn that things have taken within
the past few days. OF course, this is
not giving the mass of voters very
much credit as to their realization of
the responsibilities of citizenship, but
that is very far from troubling the G.
o. p. of the present day.
