Just before his departure for the
South recently John w. Gates, with
several friends, was seated in the cafe
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York.
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Some re-
freshments had been ordered and there
was a good-natured dispute as to who
should pay.
Mr. Gates was the more insistent.
you know / am going away" he
said, "and / insist this is my treat"
But, j. w." said another of the
party, ''you are my guest, and could
not think of letting you pay"
Another in the party suggested a
compromise by having him do the hon
ors. The waiter, awed presently by
the importance of the men he was
serving, had a sort of nervous spasm.
He started to wipe off the top of the
table, and in doing so upset two large
high balls. The liquor poured over
Mr.. Gates trousers. The waiter, show
ing incipient stages Of heart disease,
mopped up the food
You see. gentlemen" said Mr.. Gates,
there can be no further discussion.

A auIET CONVENTION.


So quiet was the Republican Ma
tionaa Convention, and SO lacking in
enthusiasm that many of the delegates
were in favor of making the nomina-
tons on the second day and adjourn
ing. The leaders, however. thought
that such action by the convention
would have a bad effect on the cam
paign, and therefore the disconnected
delegates had to acquiesee in the orig
inal programme of a three days ses-
sion.
Some of the delegates compared the
dullness of the convention to the dull
ness of the Cleveland convention in
1888, and the Harrison convention. in
1892, and drew the conclusion that
as defeat followed as the result of
the action of those conventions so de-
feat would follow the action of the
Roosevelt convention.
Usually at Republican conventions
seats in the convention hall com
mand high premium. A good many
tickets were in the hands of specula-
tors this year, and they offered them
at 500 each per day or $50 for the
three days. Nobody seemed to want
them. At the close of the first ses-
sion seats Were offered for the fol-
lowing days at 81 each.
There was a larger audience on the
second and third days, for the rea-
son that the proceedings were more in
teresting, and it is probable that tick
its to seats were freely distributed
throughout the city.
The first break in the dizziness came
with the delivery of Mr.. Roots speech.
The speech was a good one, judged
as a speech, and it pleased the dele
gates greatly. 1t made them think
that the Republican party was much
greater party than they had thought
it was, the only party fit to have
control of the government. and that
the best interests of the country re-
ouired that it should be kept in pow
err. MIR. Root didn't have anything to
say of Mr.. Roosevelt in the first part
of the speech, and in the last part he
pictured him as a man worthy to be
classed with other great Republican
leaders rather than as trust buster
and President who had made his
administration notable by doing things
Mr.. Roots speech, however, will
not prevent Mr.. Roosevelt from being
the chief issue of the campaign
though 1t would be better for Mr..
Roosevelt if the speech were to have
that effect. Mr.. Roosevelt will be
saying and doing things all through
the campaign that will keep him al
the front. He wouldn't be happy
in any other position.
It doesn't necessarily follow that
the ticket nominated by a dull con-
vention will be defeated, but it h
safe prediction that defeat viii b.

CONGRESS IRRESPONSIBLE.

There is some ground for saying
that a little of the responsibility for
the General Slocum disaster rests upon
Congress. IT is stated in Washington
dispatches that four or five years ago
Rear Admiral George w. Melville call
ed attention to defects in laws rela-
tive to the inspection of steam YES
sells, and to the worthlessness of the
inspections that were being made. AS
a result of his action a commission was
appointed to make a report on the
whole subject. A bill was prepared,
based upon the report, and sent to
Congress, but the reforms that were
proposed were so radical and sweeping
that steam vessel owners narshaied
in force and had the bill killed. They
of loss of property and life than to
make the changes that were proposed,
and it seems that Congress permitted
the bill to be pigeon-holed. Perhaps
only a few congressman knew of the
bill, though the most of them must
have known that Admiral Melville had
made statements which showed there
was need for changes in the laws rel
alive to protection for passengers on
steam vessels and that the inspection
to which steam vessels were subjected
was, to a great extent, a farce.
From the evidence thus far obtained
in the recent disaster in New York
l1arbor the inspection of the General
Slocum by United States inspectors,
was of a kind that provided no pro-
lection for the public whatever. In
deed, the official who made the last
inspection has refused to answer ques-
tions on the ground that he might in
criminate himself The testimony is
ample that the life preservers were
rotten, that the crew was unskilled in
handling life boats, that the first mate
was without a license, that the crew
had never been put through the fire
drill and that the hose attached to the
stand pipe was so rotten that II burst
as soon as water was turned into It.
The number of bodies that has been
recovered is now about 800, and 1t Is
thought probable that it will be 1000
before the work of searching for vic
TINS is concluded. Perhaps Congress,
in view of the magnitude of the dis
aster, will take up the pigeon-holed
report of the commission appointed
through the efforts of Admiral Mel
willie, and legislate along the lines sug-
gested by 1t, notwithstanding the pro-
tests of the owners of steam vessels.

One of the many lessons taught by
the SIocum steamboat disaster in New
York harbor is the Importance Of
teaching girls to swim, wherever pos
sible. Nine out of ten boys who live
where there is water three feet deep
and as broad as twice their length
know how TO swim. They take to
water naturally and learn TO swim as
a matter of course. But 1t is diff
ferent with girls. Special Arrange
nents have 10 be made for them. On
the steamboat Slocum there were
hundreds of women and girls. not one
I'm 100 of whom. in all probability. was
able 10 swim. Had they known how to
swim Il would have given them self
confidence. and they would have jump

themselves aiioat for a quarter OF an
hour or longer, until picked up by the
rescuing boats Swimming Is not only
valuable accomplishment. but good

1t has no brilliant plumage,
The blithesome knocking bird,
Within the wide, wide forest
Its song is seldom heard;
1t hauRts the busy Office,
1t carols on the street,
Not in shrill bursts of rapture,
But with a pitch discreet
Chorus: Oh, listen to the knocking
bird, etc.
Sometimes il wears the trousers,
Sometimes Vt shows a skirt,
Now gurgies with politeness
And now is naalapert;
1t has a thousand ruses,
A million little turns
Whereby it goes and mikes
In other folks concerns!
Chorus: Oh, listen to the knocking
bird, etc.
The joy OF leaf and blossom
Makes other birds to sing,
But in it's throat produces
No melodies that ring
A grain or two of malice,
or envy and I'll win,
And To- the bird beginneth
To carol TT 20 kill

English Jew called Datas, who answers
offhand but correctly any question that
may be put to him with respect to the
dates of important events. His MEM
DRY is so remarkable that he says he
never forgets name, a date or face
that he sees. He has stored his brain
up with some 10000 dates, which he
thinks will about cover any question
along that line that may be asked him.
He can tell when Capt. Carter was
arrested, when he was convicted and
sentenced to Fort Leavenworth and
when he was discharged after serving
his term. He can tell the date of the
flight of Greene and Gaynor into Cana
da, of their kidnapping, and of the APP
peal of the United States to the British
government in the matter. But he
cannot tell the date on which the case
will be concluded and the fugitives
brought back to Georgia for triad.
