THE CAMPAIGN FOR MIR. DEPEw.


United States Senator Plat of New
York is carrying on an interesting
campaign for the reelection of United
States Senator Depew of that state.
He called a conference of leading
New York Republicans at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel for the purpose of
showing that the sentiment of the
party was in favor of the reelection
of Senator Depew. About seventy-five
prominent Republicans were at the
conference, which took place on We'd
nesday. 1t is understood that all of
those present were not in favor of
Senator Depew, but there is no doubt
that the majority were. After the con-
ference Senator Plat said: II imagine
the tone of the conference will be to
tone down Mr.. Odell."
The Mr.. Odell, to whom Senator
Plat referred, is the Governor of the
state. The manner in which Senator
Plat spoke of him indicated that
there wasn't the best of feeling be-
tween them. But what is all the
pother about? 1t seems to be admitted
that Gov. Odell has the power of say
ing who shall succeed Senator Depew.
Until lately it was the understanding
that he wouldn't oppose the re-elec-
ton of Senator Depew. In fact, he
promised to take no part in the sem
atorial election. But Senator Plat got
it into his mind that Gov. Odell was
either trying to have ex-Gov. Black
elected to the Senate in place Of Sen
ator Depew or else was going to have
Senator Depew reelected and claim
all the credit for twas. in fact, go
of importance in Congress from New
York and through him handle all the
federal patronage in the state. That
would make Senator Plat a nonentity
in the Senate. Such a position
wouldn't be to the latter's liking at
all. Hence. it is said. he got up the
conference for the purpose of showing
that. II Senator Depew were re-elect-
| cd II was due to his efforts.
Just what the real situation Is nc
one seems to know. After the Fifth
Avenue Hotel conference Gov. Odell
was reported as saying that he didn't
know anything about the conference
but that he did know that the man
chosen by the Republican organiza.
tion would be Senator Depew's sue.
cessor. As the matter now stands
Senator Plat is placed IN the posi-.
ton Of "butting into" a situation OF
which he knew little or nothing. and
he may have stirred up forces that
VIII make the reelection OF Senator
Depew impossible.

THE STRONGEST hoy.


Cheyenne Cwyo.) correspondence of
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Cheyenne has the strongest boy in
the world.
This physical prodigy is Noah Young,
Jr.. the son of Noah Young. State Coal
mine inspector of wyoming, and all
who have seen his marvellous physical
development and witnessed his feats of
strength are astounded.
Noah Young, Jr., can raise 10
pound dumbbeil thirteen times in one
minute and a 100-pound bell four times
in a minute feats which cannot be
duplicated by any man in the state.
And Noah Young, Jr., is but seven
teen years old.
He is a modest unassuming young
man, which accounts for the fact that
his extraordinary ability is not more
widely known.
The boy was born in GIenrock, Wyo.,
and is the son OF Noah Young, at one
time foreman of the Glenrock coal
mines. The father is considered the
strongest man in Wyoming, and sev-
eral years ago appeared on the stage
with Charles Mitchell, of England.
The boy, considered by his father at
the time as the weakling of the fam
ily began training six years ago, and
since then has taken three complete
courses in physical culture. He IS
regular in his hours of sleep, never
drinks or uses tobacco, eschews coffee
and tea, and has spent six hours day
for a period of six years in perfect
ing his muscular development.
To-day the muscles of his arm meas
ure just quarter of an inch less
than those of James j. Jeffries, the
champion heavyweight pugilist of the
world The boy is also an expert box
er and peerless bag puncher. He
frankly admits that it is his ambition
to become the strongest man in the
world, and to-day performs feats
which can be duplicated by few ath-

THE FIsH's APPETITE.
From an Exchange.

A singular instance of tenacity in
the digestion of fish is reported from
Sheffield England. The fish, which is
a ling, four feet long, had what APP
peared to be an abnormally hard liver
But the cutting UP process revealed
something far stranger. The supposed
hard liver turned out to be nothing else
but a piece of stout netting, over two
yards long and fourteen inches wide,
which had been pressed into the form
of a football. How this great mass
of indigestible material came to be
swallowed by the creature is a mys-
terry, and the suggestion that the fish
caught in the tolls of fsherman's net
solved the problem of how to escape
by devouring his prison walls is not
considered scientifically practicable.

Gen. Andre, who was recently
ousted from his position as Minister
Of War in the French government,
is now thought to regard his removal
with equanimity. At first he was nat
urally indignant, but the quiet of his
present mode of life is a welcome
change from the turmoil and pomp of
the War Department. His successor,
M. Berteaux, is a strange mixture
deputy, socialist and acute financier.
He receive his constituents three times
a week and listens to the poorest.
Peasants in blouses are often among
the number and they make a strange
show in his luxuriously furnished
abode, which is located in a fashion
able neighborhood. q They look even
still more out of place in the impress
sive premises of the Ministry of War.

There is perturbation in the inner
circles of New York society. The elect
do not know what to make of the thing
that is presented to them. Mrs. Astor
(there is only one Mrs. Aston, of course,
and that is Mrs. William Astor.) has
appointed to ball to be holden on Jan.
0. But to this function, which may be
participated in only by the very
special elect. have been invited one
thousand two hundred persons.
This is three times the number
that the late Ward McAllister desig-
mated as belonging properly to $50
eiety" in New York city. What does
Mrs. Aston mean by expanding the in
ner social circle to such extraordinary
proportions? Has society grown 300
per cent. in ten or a dozen years
These are questions that are perplex-
ing those directly interested. Mean
while the bald fact remains that one
thousand two hundred persons have
been invited to Mrs. Astor's ball; and,
OF course, It is not to be thought OF
that any person invited will fail to be
present.

Those Northern critics of the South
who are perpetually growing because
Southern juries fail to convict lynchers
are respectfully referred to the Spring
field, o.. lynching case, that was lately
before a court in that city. Last
March, it will be recalled, there was
a lynching in Springfield. Fifteen men,
bers of the mob were indicted. The
authorities made cases against the
ring-leaders. One or two of them,
against whom the evidence was strong
est, were brought to trial. The trial
judge said to the jury: "The evidence
against the accused is perfectly clear"
Nevertheless a verdict of mot. guilty"
was returned. Under the law there
was nothing for the judge to do but
discharge the prisoners. We do not re-
fer to this matter by way of excusing
Southern juries for discharging accused
lynchers, but to draw attention to the
fact that public sentiment-and juries-
are pretty much the same the whole
country over.

SO far from treating the Filipinos
harshly, according to the opinion of
Gen. Leonard Wood, we are altogether
too kind to them for their own good.
Those of them in the government serv-
ice get too much to eat and too much
to wear. Thus they become fat, lazy
and opinionated. Instead of getting out
and hustling. as they probably would
if they were lean, hungry and half
naked, they loaf about and put on
dudish airs. The conclusion to be drawn
is that our 'colonists, or depend
ents.' or whatever is the right thing
to call them. ought to be dealt with
more vigorously.

AN AMERICAN PRODUCT

of Bavaria at Munich" upon analyzing
"Ptlsner Urquell," the beers Of the
"Buergerliches Brauhaus" Of Pilsen, Bo-
hemia and "Anheuser-Busch's Budwei-
ser, under date of May II, 1904, makes
the following statement sworn to before
DR.. Pundter, Royal Notary, and verified
by Hon. James II. Worman, u. s. Consul
General at Munich. Bavaria:
Upon Subjecting the several beers to
a careful analysis ] find that the Bud
weiser Beer submitted by the Anheu-
ser-Busch Brewing Assn. St. Louis, u. s.
A, is very similar. in all its character
istics, to the finest and best Pilsener
beers. 1t is effervescent, clear and
sparkling. has a beautiful creamy foam
and is possessed of a pure, wholesome
taste and exquisite hop flavor. It's
keeping qualities by far exceed those of
the Pilsener beers, resulting from the
use of the very best materials in brew
ing, and the thorough maturity of the
product. The analysis further shows
that no acids or other preServatives have
been used in its production, and as re-
suit of my examination 1 pronounce
'Budweiser' a we'll .matured bottled beer
of the highest quality"
This acknowledgment, coming as II
does from the recognized headquarters
of the brewing industry of the old world
must be a great source of qualification
and in a measure a compensation to the
AnheuserB Busch people for their unceas-
ing efforts to produce the finest beer that
can be made.
