The New York 'ssun'' points out that
Roosevelt's campaign managers are going
to have difficulty in raising campaign funds
this year. 1t says:
The Republicans national investigators
have learned in their visits to the financial
district downtown as well as to Chicago and
Philadelphia that leash will come very
hard this year and explanations have
been in order. Many Republican fortune
has dwindled to one half since Mr.. Roose-
welt became President, and in hundreds Of
cases Republicans of eminenee have lost
their all by the shrinkage of securities
Then, again, the investigators have learned
that the cost ofIliYing has never been so high
in the nations history, not even in the civil
war days, and they report that fnanciers
and business men and all sorts and condi-
tions of people complain of feeling poor, and
at the mention Of campaign funds there is
almost universal protest.

The remains of United States Senator,
Matthew Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania,
were laid in the family burial plot al
Beaver, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last.
For more than year the papers have
had more or less to say Of the Pennsyl-
vania leaders, health, but he kept so per
sistently at his tasks that the people had
become to discount the accuracy of the
reports. Hence his death last Friday was
a surprise to the nation, and it was not
readily accepted that even death had oyer
come this stalwart leader of the Republi-
can party. For fifty years Quay has held
public Office; his business was politics and
Ohiceholding, and it IS needless to add,
he made a success Of his business. That
the Republican party both in Pennsylva-
MIA, and Nationally, owed much Of its
success to Mr.. Quay's management, is
universally admitted; that Pennsylvania
or the country ever proited by Quayism,
is widely doubted. He is survived by
his wife, two daughters and two sons.
His estate is said to amount to $500, 600.

disposition of a charge which was filed in
the District branch of the Police Court to-
day against Edward T. Rice. a produce
dealer in the Center market, whom. it is
alleged, violated the weights and measure
law by selling string beans from a basket
which had not been stamped by the sealer
of weights and measures. Attorney James
f. Scaggs, who appeared as counsel for the
defendant, instructed his client to ask for
a jury trial. The request will be granted.
but it was necessary to postpone hearing
of the case until a later date. there being
no jury in duty in that branch of the court
at present.
The basket in question is an ordinary
quart measure, in which berries, beans and
other produce of a like nature are sold.
The dealers say that IL the case goes
against them that 1t will eventually affect
the public and not themselves. charge
will be made by the sealer of weights and
measures for stamping the baskets. and the
dealers declare it will have to be paid for
by the public. and that the dealers will
raise the price of the articles sold in them.

them once. they being given to the pur-

LAUREL NEWS.
Effort Made to Secure Free Delivery
of Mail.


Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star
LAUREL, Md, June I6. 1901.
During severe storm which passed over
this section last night numerous hailstones
of large size fell. high wind accom-
panied the shower and wrecked many frui.
trees.
Arrangements have been completed by
Laurel Tent No. Z. knights of the Macca-
bees. for the all-day picnic here tomorrow
in connection with the annual convention OF
the Recond Keepers of this jurisdiction,
which includes the tents of Maryland and
Delaware.
The session of the convention will be
held in the new Academy OF Music at
which place the delegates will be entertain
ed at a banquet by the local tent The
Lady Maccabees of this town will cooper
ate with the knights in the days program.
A petition is being circulated about the
town, to which large number of names of
the business men and residents of Laurel
Is being affixed. for the purpose of securing
the free delivery OF the mails to the pa
irons of the local post office. When the
work of securing the subscribers to the
paper is concluded. 1t will be forwarded to
Mr. Joseph l.. Bristow, fourth assistant
postmaster general.
During President HarrsOns administra-
ton the scheme of free delivery for the
town was tried, but failed. Since that
time the receipts of the local office have
greatly increased.
Under the law governing the only
towns having a population of 10000 inhab-
tants, where the post office recef pts
amount to $4,000 annually. are allowed free
delivery of the mails. During the past ses-
sion of Congress a bill was submitted grant
ing free delivery to towns having a popula-
ton of 5000 inhabitants or to those whose
post office receipts tOtaled 5000 annually.
While the population of Laurel is about
the 5000 mark, still the annual receipts of
the post office here amount to between
$4,000 and 5000. 1t is argued by those
who are pushing the matter that the re-
ceipts of the local post office justify, at
least. an experiment of free delivery

A Queen Who Can Cook.

Queen Helena, of Italy, has a very practical knowledge of cooking. At her fathers curiously homely and un- pretentious court Queen Helena learn- ed many useful things, and among them the art of cooking.
 The Prince of Montenegro insisted that all his children should learn a trade-a rule which, by the way, ob' tains in the German imperial family and the future Queen of Italy became not merely good plain cook, but also skilled in the preparation of the curi- ous sweetmeats and patisselie of which orientals are so fond.
 The late King Humbert Insisted on tasting his daughter-in-law's cookery, and so pleased was he with the dainty fare that she set before him that he conferred on her, with mock ceremony, the title of Lady High Cook to the King of Italy,"

ANCESTRAL HOME OF YALE.
Church Where University's Founder Is
 Buried One of the Oldest in Wales.


 When the Prince of Wales-who takes genuine interest in things American---was at Wrexham, in Wales, few weeks ago, he made point of going to see the oldfashioned church there which is so closely con- nected with Yale University. The re- mains of the founder of Yale lie in the churchyard which surrounds the ener- able pile and only few miles away stands the ancestral home of his fam fly, from which Elihu Yale's father went away with the pilgrims to the new world. In the quaint old Welsh village of Plas-yn-yale, which lies amidst the wooded slopes of Bryn Eglys, there still are folk bearing the historic name.
 The bones of the founder of the great American university lie close to the north porch of Wrexham Church. which, by the way, was restored by the authorities of the university not many years ago. On his headstone there is this quaint inscriptions: Born in America, in Europe bred, In Africa travelled and in Asia wed, Where long he lived and thrived, in Lon
 don dead;
 Much good, some i'll he did, so hope alls
 even
 And that his soul in mercy's gone to
 heaven.
 WreXham Church was built in 1472, which puts it among the old parish churches in the kingdom. Its chief glory is its tower from which the beautiful lords tower of the parlia- ment buildings in London was to large extent copied. The bells which hang in the Wrexham Church are fa- nous for their age and for the beauty of their tone. They were mentioned by Beaumont and Fletcher.
