Secretary Shaw, who is the joker OF
the cabinet, read to the president at a
cabinet meeting the other day an eX-
tract from "a newspaper published in
Hungary, which Mr.. Shaw remarked
was the richest thing yet Here is
the article:
Theodore Roosevelt, the American
president has a new rival for the pres
idency There is about to be an cleo
ton in the United States. and Mark
Hanna, a powerful man, will oppose
him. 1t is difficult to understand clear
ly the American conditions in this
country, but we learn upon investiga-
ton that before he became president,
Roosevelt was a cowboy, and the cow
boys, being the dominant party in the
United States, elevated their compan-
ion to the presidency. After the cleo
ton the cowboys demanded the best
offices, but Roosevelt ignored their de-
mands, SO they have decided to avenge
themselves and defeat him for re-elec-
ton. The cowboys WELD a tremendous
power in the United States, west Of
New York city, and they have offered
the presidency to Hanna. A delegation
called at his palace in the state Of
Cleveland and rendered him the nomin-
alton, and it is thought that he will be
elected We hear that Hanna will make
mis- campaign on wild mustang. He is
an old man, but daring and skillful
rider. In his youth he carried off high
honors as an equestrian, and is dec
Grated with numerous medals"
Mr.. Shaw did not exhibit a copy Of
the original newspaper, but read a
translation Of the article. He did not
hand the president an affidavit with it.

Six Weeks Campaign In New York.

NEW YORK. Aug. n.-Pursuant to
the call of Chairman Odell the republic
can state committee went into session
at the Fifth Avenue hotel this at
ternoon for the purpose of fixing a time
and place for the holding of the re-
publican state convention. 1t is eX-
pected that the committee will select
the second week in September as the
time for the state convention. During
that week the 5Oth anniversary of the
organization of the republican party
is to occur, and that fact is being urg-
ed as one of the reasons for the hold
ing of the convention at that time. If
the republicans choose that week the
democrats, it is understood, will choose
the week following. This would per-
NIT a six weeks campaign in New
York, which leaders on both sides are
inclined to think would be long enough.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 11-Pacific
coast druggists are soon to begin a
concerted fight against cut rate houses
