PERSONAL.

Queen Margherita of Italy went
into retirement when her husband was
assassinated four years ago, and it
was expected that she would pass the
remainder of her days in the seclusion
of a convent. The Dowager- Queen,
however, has begun to show herself
in public once more and appears to be
slowly resuming her former social
round. In the days preceding her wi
dowhood Queen Margherita was noted
for the perfection of her wardrobe and
it is prophesied that ere long she will
be wearing colors ONCE more.
Since Mr.. Depews naive admis-
sion in the Senate chamber that there
are two Chauneey Depews-one who
says what he has considered carefully
and another who is not so particular
his colleagues have had lots of fun
with him. Even Mr. Hoar. who usu-
ally frowns down levity, has had a
whack at the New Yorker. The two
met on Pennsylvania avenue. Good
morning. Mr.. Hoar," saluted Mr. De-
pew. Gravely adjusting his glasses
and looking around, the Massachusetts,
statesman eyed the New York man
sternly and replied: ITO which De-
pew am 1 speaking-Jekyll or Hyde?'

What He Raised.

Some amusing incidents occur at the
free dispensaries of the different hos
pitfalls in town, often because the poor
patients fail to understand the terms
used by the doctors, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. The following in
cident occurred at the University Hos
pital last week and illustrates the
point in question:
A man came in who the doctor
thought was suffering from beginning
pneumonia, so after getting his name
and address and other necessary data
he asked the patient if he had a chill.
Yes, a very bad chill yesterday,
came the answer.
DO you cough much?" asked the
doctor.
Yes, some" replied the patient,
with a practical illustration.
do you raise anything?" was the
next question.
The man hesitated a moment, then
answered, innocently, well, only a
few chickens"

A Cheerful view.

Two men who had been sitting to-
gether in the seat near the door of a
railway car became engaged in an an
mated controversy, and their loud
voices attracted the attention of all the
other passengers, says an exchange.
Suddenly one of them arose and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: l appeal to
you to decide a disputed point. My
friend here insists that not more than
three people out of every five believe
they have souls. take a more cheer
full view of humanity than that. VIII
all of you who believe you have souls
raise your right hands?"
Every hand in the car went up.
THANK you" he said with a smile.
Keep them up just a minute. Now
will all of you who believe in here
after please raise your left hand also?"
Every hand in the car went up.
Thank you," he said. Now, while
all of you have your hands raised" he
continued, drawing a pair of revolvers
and leveling them, my friend here
will go down the aisle and relieve you
of whatever valuable articles you may
have. Lively now JIM"

There doesn't seem to be any doubt
that the New York delegation to the
St. Louis Convention will be for Judge
Parker, but those who have his inter-
ests in charge realize that in order
to insure his nomination something
more is necessary. The delegation from
that state must be instructed for
him.
The truth is the Democratic State
Convention of New York ought to have
been fixed for a date earlier than April
IS, for the reason that delegates to
state conventions are now being Sc
lected in many of the states, and in
ed. If it were known positively that
New York would present Judge Par
ker's name to the convention as her
choice most of the instructions, in all
probability, would be for him. Still,
only a few of the state conventions
will be held prior to that of New
York, so that New York's action will
be a guide for most of them.
There seems to be a pretty general
movement to Parker in all of the states,
particularly those which can be de-
pended upon to give him their cleo
toral votes. Former United States
Senator Hill and State Senator Nc
Carren who are in charge of Judge
Parker's interests, feel confident that
if he is nominated he can carry the
doubtful Eastern states and Indiana.
These, with the Southern states, would
give him the number of electoral votes
necessary to elect him.
OF Judge Parker's fitness for Presi-
dent there isn't a doubt. The emf
nent position he now fills so acceptably
is guaranty of that. In fact, in no
Democratic paper is there q word
against him. On the contrary, it is
admitted that he not only has all the
necessary qualifications, but that there
are reasons why he would make an ex
ceptionally strong candidate.
There has been some complaint that
he doesn't state his position on lead
ing questions before the country. 1t
would hardly be becoming in him, &C.
cupying the position he does, to put
himself in the position of begging for
the nomination. AS soon, however, as
it is reasonably certain that he will
be candidate before the St. Louis
Convention his views on all important
public questions will be Forthcoming.
There will be no room for doubt as
to where he stands on issues that will
be prominent in the campaign.
With such a candidate as Judge
Parker would be the Democratic par
ty would have an excellent chance of
winning the election. He has ALWAYS
stood by the party, and there is no
reason why he shouldn't get every
Democratic vote. 1t is certain that he
would get the independent vote. be-
sides that large element of the Re-
publican party that is dissatisfied with
Mr.. Roosevelt.
In the Parker movement much de-
Ponds upon New York If that state
instructs for him, the probability is
there will be very little difficulty in.
making him the nominee.

Governor Murphy's story.

Former Governor N. o. Murphy OF
Arizona told this story at the Holland
House a few evenings ago, says the
New York Globe.
"A friend of mine in Phoenix, Ariz.,
has among his domestic help an irish
coachman, who is a true-blue son OF
Erin. Not having been feeling well
for some time Pat finally consulted a
local doctor, who advised him to take
animal food as the best means of re-
storing health and activity.
Pat said the doctor, you're run
down bit, that's all. What you need
is animal food
Remembering his case few days
after the man of medicine called on
Pat at the stable.
"'Well, Pat he said. how are You
getting on with the treatment l pre-
scribed?'
'shure," Pat replied, 'oi manage all
right with the grain and oats, but its
moighty hard 1 find it with the chop

A Congress Snake Story.

One of the Georgia delegation in the
House, according to the Washington
Post, has received this letter from a
loyal constituent in a rural section of
his district:
Dear Mister Kongresman: Sum
time ago 1 writ yu, asking if there
were anything the government cud do
to make fiten wife behave herself. |
'aint herd frum w and things is no
better.
will yu plese let me no If you kin
git me one of them poison snakes from
Afrika at the Cultural Department,
hev alters voted fur you and this is
mitey little to ask, specially Wen a
mans wife is alters peckin him."
The Georgia statesman is certain he
cannot comply with the request, but
he is still celebrating about what kind
of a reply he shall return to his I'M
fortunate constituent.

She was just eighteen, she said.
Her hair was dressed with one big

Her speech was soft and cool,
And in her honest, widespread hand
She bore milking stool.

How many? Sixty-seven," she said,
And shyly looked at me.

Our mothers are eleven;
Round every door there's room for

And we are sixty-seven."
And then left In dumb dismay
The maid with eyes like heaven;
But as ! left / heard her say.
And I'm the oldest, by the way,

ACTION THAT WILL HASTEN AID
JOURNMENT.

The determination of the Democrats
of the Postoffice Department will have
the effect of fastening the adjourn
ment of Congress. The President
doesn't want an investigation at this
time, though he might not object to it
after the election. An investigation
at this time might bring to light mat
tiers that would convince the people
it was time for a change in the
political complexion of the govern
ment.
1t is plain that the Republicans do
not intend that there shall be a sweep
partment. The House has refused
such an investigation and in the Sem
ate two resolutions calling for ii
have been pigeon-holed. The resOlu-
ton that the Democrats propose to in
troduce now will cali attention to the
fact that the two previous resolutions
have been buried in committee. and
that there is evidently the intention
to refuse an investigation and to hush
up debate on the postoffice scandal
1t will not be an easy matter to get
rid of this resolution in the way the
Others We're disposed Of 1t will be
open to debate and the Democratic
senators will be able to make such
showing that it will be rather risky
for the Republicans to refuse to
pass it,
That there is need for a sweeping
investigation there is no doubt The
plea the Republicans make that there
has already been an investigation is
not satisfactory either TO the Demo-
Gratis in Congress or to the country.
Every once in awhile there crops out
something which indicates that there
is a vast amount of wrong doing in
the Postoffice Department, and that it
can be checked only by bringing it to
light.
The other day one Congressman
charged on the floor of the House that
another Congressman, one holding a
high position in the Republican party,
had used the mails to the extent of
many thousands of dollars for the pur-
pose OF getting himself reelected to
Congress. While 1t is true that the
charge has been denied, it is evident
that the denial would be much more
satisfactory were it supported by re-
port of a committee appointed to make
an investiga ton of just such cases.
There are divisions in the Postoffice
Department which the Bristow report
doesn't touch at all Indeed that re-
port only scratches the surface. 1t
reached the heads of two or three di-
visions, but the general belief is that
it doesn't go to the bottom Of the
wrong-doing.
The debate in the Senate will be an
one. No doubt the Demo-
cratic senators have got enough facts
to convince the country that the Re
publicans have good reasons for re-
fusing a sweeping investigation. Be
fore the debate has progressed very
far the President will want Congress
to adjourn much sooner than the date
he is said to have mentioned a day or i
two ago, namely April 90 sa"

REVENGE VALUED At 81 200. 900.

On Tuesday, in the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts, testimony was given
in a gas company reorganization case,
which showed how bitter the hatred of
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston was for
the men of the New York Yacht Club
who prevented him from entering his
yacht, the Independence, in the races
of that club, for the position of defend
err of the Americas cup, in the contest
in which Shamrock II was the chal-
lenger. The witness in the gas COM
pany case was Mr.. H. H. Rogers one
of the Standard Oil group of million-
aires. In the course of his testimony
MIR. Rogers said: II asked MIR. Law
son how he felt about the proposed
reorganization of the New England
Gas and Coke Company, and he said
he felt unpleasantly. He said: You
know how 1 feel toward Henry NJ.
Whitney and those other people down
there who interfered with me in refer
ence to the Yacht Club matter. If L
were able I'd rather lose $1,O0O,OO0 than
make any compromise with those peo-
pies
1t was known of course that Mr..
Lawson felt bitterly towards those
members of the New York Yacht Club
who were instrumental in keeping mis-
yacht out of the trial races. but it is
doubtful if any one supposed he wall
ued the injury to his feelings at ST.
600, 900. He must have been very deep
ly hurt by the action of the New YORK
Yacht Club men. 1t Is true he had
built boat at a great expense, very
fast boat and doubtless he had pic
tured himself as the American who
had been singled out to defend the
Americas cup. 1t may even be that
he thought of himself as in the enjoy
ment of worldwide fame as the man
who had prevented Sir Thomas Lip
ton from carrying the cup to England,
1t was, indeed. humiliating to him
to be turned down." as it were by
New York Yacht Clubmen after be
had INDUCED in such dazzling day
dreams.
And ii seems that he still harbors
feelings of revenge, and is looking for
a chance to get even" with the men
who put the slight upon him. No doubt
if the opportunity ever presents itself
of getting even with the men who, ac-
cording to his way of thinking, IN
jured him, by making him the laughing
stock of the financial world, he will
be prompt to take advantage of It. IN
the meantime doubtless he will 50
nurse his grievance that 1t win seem to
be just as big to him twenty years
hence. II he should live that long, as
It did the day he fully realized that
he had spent his money for a racing
yacht in vain. 1t seems that, because Of
/ the yacht incident. his wealth does
not make him a contented man. Even
