pisraeIi On His MARRIAGE.

Disraeli autographs, formerly among

into the hands of the auctioneers and
dealers during the last few days.
One Of the number has that touch

is a letter written to his

Gle. Mr.. Basevi, the parliamentary
lawyer. 6" rather think" he says,
that you will not be so much sur,
prised as ! am. that l am going to be
married, and you can even hazard a
conjecture as to the lady who is about

Alas, there is no footnote to say
whether and to what extent the neph.

ent was likely to be acceptable enough
to Disraeli at that date, when he was

the Jews; and though his uncle was

of prejudices, and of these his nephew

The platform adopted, although
brief, was not of such record-breaking
breyity as had been announced, con.
sisting of more than 1000 instead of
600 words.
After referring to the fifty years of
the Republican party's life, congratu-
latfng the country on the results of
the recent elections, indorsing Presi-
dent Roosevelt and approving the Ma
tional platform adopted in Chicago,
it deals with State issues as follows:
"We commend the firm reason, abid.
ing common sense and strict integrity,
unmoved by assaults from enemies or
pleas from friends, with which Gov
ernor Odell has conducted the affairs
of this State and safeguarded with
jealous care its vast and complicated
interests.
'We believe in the policy of raising
revenues for State maintenance by in
direct taxation. The effective e a
ures of the Republican party in this
direction constitute the greatest step
taken in the history of our common
wealth for the relief of taxpayers. If
any taxes heretofore levied, especially
such as affect the savings of the peo-
pie, appear to be unjust or unneces-
sary, we favor such revision Of the
tax laws as will correct such condition.
"The people Of the State have de-
creed that the canals shall be i'm
proved, and we reaffirm the position
heretofore taken by the party in regard
to good roads, for the construction of
which the State has already paid or
appropriated over $3,25O,OOO.
1--WE believe in increasing the effec-
tiveness of the school system, greater
appropriations for common schools and
the extension of free tuition in high
schools, and we favor the still further
building up of the States educational
facilities wherever practicable.
"We claim credit for the legislation
which unified the State Educational
Departments and completely removed
State educational activities from the
field of politics.
I'VE believe in maintaining the laws
for safeguarding the interests of labor
as we'll as of capital, and in extending
such laws whenever additional safe
guards may be necessary.
1--WE believe in the further purchase
and preservation Of forest lands in the
Adirondack and Catskill parks by the
State and adequate appropriations
therefor. We congratulate the people
of this commonwealth on the satisfac-
tory condition Of the State treasury.
National as we'll as State policies are
in the outcome of our State
election, and we commend to every
citizen the faithful performance of his
patriotic duty"

with Mr.. Kruttschmitt, called it a

NO" said the railroad magnate,
smiling, there was nothing daring
about it. Daring things are those
that have in them something risky,
something insecure. Fol instance, you
might term daring the well-known
action of Hanks, the milkman, in the
millionaire's house."
Hanks, the milkman?' said the re-
porter, puzzled.
Yes, Hanks, the milkman. He, one
morning, forgot to water his milk. In
the hall OF his best customer he re-
membered this omission. A huge tub
OF fine, clear water stood on the floor
" HIS oAOC. uSlC WdS No OHC 10 spy

brought up the jugs, Hanks diluted his
milk with a large measure filed from
the tub. Then he served the young
woman calmly and went on.
A he was believing down the next
area the first customers footman beck
oned to him. He returned, and was
ushered into the presence of the Gus
toner himself, a millionaire.
Hanks said the gentleman, Il pre-
fer hereafter to water my own milk
well, sir" said Hanks, "it's useless
to deny the thing, for l suppose you
were watching me while
NO said the millionaire. No one
was watching you. But the fact is,
Hanks, the children are taking medi-
cinal baths, and the tub in the hall
was full of sea water"
