While Mr.. Adams has not announced him

from the upper country that he is consid-

the race after. election. Most of the pros

ready to run for speaker until he at least
has his title clear to membership.

The election was several weeks distant,

A book of games, indoor and outdoor,

DEMOCRAT SUPPORTS ROOSEVELT
49, ... s+~ Boston Journal.

Viewing with clear eye the political sit
uation, Robert Treat Paine, Jr., declines
to follow in 1904 the Massachusetts divis-
ion of his party, which, as nominee for
governor, he led in 1900. He says plainly
that it is his intention to vote for Theo-
dore Roosevelt. AS one who cannot be
accused of waving the bloody shirt he
realizes, that the greatest possible danger
to. the constitution comes from southern
demagogues, now once more in control OF
the democracy who boast that they have
violated both the law and the constitution
and who promise TO continue ito do; so sc
long as the negro attempts to exercise
constitution.

Three love affairs. and little else, in one
story almost cloy the appetite before the
story is done. Proof of the generalization
is to be found in The Masters Violin, by
Myrtle Reed, author of 'Iove Letters OF A
Musician, Lavender and Old Lace" and
other stories. Proof of another generali-

that Is this: A reasonable consistency
must be observed In the creating Of char
acters, else they will reveal their artif-
ciality. The first of these inferences is
axiomatic; ditto the second. But, as the
second constitutes the chief flaw in "The
Masters Violin,' reasons should be pro-
duced, and here they are:
Lynn Irving, the young man. Of the
story, desires with all his heart, to be-
come great volinist. He acquires the
technique, but lacks the feeling. The
reader is told again and again that Lynn

of soul. Yet in other relations he is shown
to be possessed of quite marked poetic

possessing the technical skill of a musica
genius, fail to put feeling into his music:

ATTEMPTED 70 WRECK
IN EXPRESS TRAIN.

Last Friday evening, the Cape May ,ex-
press that passes Woodbury. at s. 4s, struck
an obstruction Of heavy plank and ties
j placed on the track near Thaekaras brick
yard, with the evident intention Of derail-
J ing the train. The train was running at
4 its highest speed, perhaps sixty miles an
hour, and the fact that the engine was Of
new pattern, with the cow-cateher close to
| the track, foied the object Of the would-be
! wreckers. Instead of going over the OBJ
struction, the nose OF the cow-catcher flung
the obstruction aside, and a severe shock to
the passengers and a broken cow catcher,
were the most serious results.
The fact that the foul attempt occurred
at about the spot where Mrs Mary Pan
coast was struck by this train and killed on
the Monday evening previous, gave sensa-
ton making reporters of Philadelphia
papers pretext to cast the reflection that
/ persons closely allied to her by blood, were
under suspicion as the active authors of the
attempt to wreck the train, going 50 far as
to describe the appearance of a person seen
near the scene of the attempt
1t not necessary for us 30 add that the
attempt to smirch the character of those
persons was an abortive one, for nobody
here, whose opinionsweighs ounce, gave
the reflection moments consideration
The most probable explanation Of the at
tempt 10 wreck a train is that tramps, who
infect the woods near that point, learned
that the railroad pay car was approaching
and hoped to enrich themselves by wreck
ing it, As matter Of fact the pay car
had passed about fifteen minutes ahead of
the express
At this writing no arrests have been
made, and 50 far as known, the railroad au-
thorities have no clue as to the perpetrators
Of the dastardly attempt to wreck passeu-
ger train.
