COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE WORLD

the Prince of Denmark IN one OF his
darkest moods.
In Cincinnati the other day, which hap
pened to be Sunday a barber attempted
to violate the Sabbath closing ordinances
with the result that he brought the po-
lice about his ears and there was a raid.
But this raid was not tame affair by
any means. The customers Of the barrier.
all Of whom were next" 1t seems, fell
upon the policemen in vain endeavor tc
keep them out of the shop until their
boards were shorn. This incident merely
goes to show how badly some men want
a shave. A shave is one luxury that .
man wants sure enough when he wants
it at ALL and when he needs it he needs
it more than purple and fine linen.
DR.. Dowie should be more considerate OF
the newspaper reporters in view of the
fact that they have made his name SO
familiar in the land Such epithet as
liar. is very amusing, no doubt when it
emante from the hoary prophet of Zion.
but from an ordinary person would be
disagreeable. Since the doctor has al
ready expressed his willingness to make
a trip to hell where he can fight the
devil at close quarters it would be a
waste of time for the reporters to tell
him to go there.
It is surprising to learn that the health
department of Louisville is waging
vigorous warfare against unscrupulols
dealers who put water in their milk. The
city is determined that such swindling
practices shall be put down and often
ders are being prosecuted with the true
Kentucky spirit Milk is used in Ken
lucky for cooking purposes and the fact
should be overlooked that 1t is also very
necessary for successful punches. It may
be the possibility of getting water in their
liquor by this means which has excited
the colonies so greatly. 1t is lucky that
the milk dealers have confined their dilu-
ton to milk and have not attempted Is
water anything stronger.
The question of having or not having a
dog catcher is stirring up Memphians
just at present. 1t seems that Memphis
is suffering from a surplus of dogs, so
steps have been taken by one wing of
the city politicians to establish the hon
orable office of dog catcher. Now this Is
an official needed in all large towns, no
matter how unpopular he may be among
the citizens, and 1t is remarkable that q
1ourishing town like Memphis has man
aged to prosper without him. 1t is to be
regretted that all communities can not
have a dog catcher, a cat catcher, a
fool killer and a gentleman who would
consent to incarcerate all the cranks for
so much per annum. PC.

From the New York Times
1t was plain at Chicago from the OPEN
ing of the third days session, that the
only source of enthusiasm among the
members of the republican convention lay
in the name of the President and in the
associations woven about it,
Certainly some of the manifestations of
the feeling were puerile enough and more
suggestive of gala day on the Stock
exchange than of the meeting of the
representatives of great party soberly
engaged in an important public func-
ton, but the feeling aroused was genu-
inc, general, and earnest. 1t was the
mon in large masses, feel Tor energetic
and effective leadership. OF sthe leader
ship of Mr.. Roosevelt much may be said
in criticism, but its existence and the
hold it has taken on the mass of rs
party cannot be denied. 1t has by no
means been consistent. 1t has. at i'm
portant crises, lacked the element of
moral courage. 1t has been far from OBJ
viously unselfish. AT times It has APP
peared reckless, at others hesitating.
Both in it's ventures and in it's retreats it
has had a pretty clear reference to the
advancement of Mr. Roosevelt's political
fortunes But it would be extremely shall
low to question its practical success,
not merely for himself but for his party,
and in many ways for the country. His
opponents must reckon with that fact.

the convention will be aAreal conven.
ton, controlled by no man or set Of
men, with nothing predetermined in
relation to the platform or nominee.
1t may develop some warmth, and
some friction, and all of "Wednesday
and of the following days of the week
may be consumed in the transaction
of its important business. The vast
representative body will do its best 10
meet the wants and wishes of the old
historic party, and whatever it's de-
cision may be it is the duty of every
democrat to get ready to fall in line
without an "if' or ''but."

Roosevelt and Parker.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The republican President has the Bry-
antic temperament and impulse His prob
able democratic opponent Parker) has
the Mckinley temperament and poise
The mere accident of organization aligns
the party of Mckinley around the Bryan
tic personality of Roosevelt. and the par
ty lately of Bryan round the Mckinley
personality of Parker Those who vote
for meanings and not on names can rec
ognize the providential reversal of condi-
lions and tendencies which has been
brought about. 1t is the hope-and will be
the pledge-of republicanism to check
Rooseveltism with the specter of McKin-
leyism, while electing Roosevelt himself.
1t will be the purpose and hope Of democ-
racy to bury Organism beyond resurrec-
ton. and to succeed it with the spirit of
McKinleyism in the person and character
of Parker. The nation will be able to
choose between the liabilities to radical
ism and the insurance Of conservatism

Interest is Decreasing.

Since the Birmingham baseball team
has been losing games with such painful
regularity there has been marked de-
crease In the general interest taken in the
team" said business man. when the
Coal Barons had their winning streak
there was wild excitement in local fam
dom but when they began to lose even the
most enthusiastic pined away 1t is notice
able that when the team is winning there
are five people talking baseball 10 enc
when it is losing. Clearly Birmingham
fans are not very faithful friends in adj
yersity.'

ty criminal court said lawyer last
hight. Large crowds are constantly IN
attendance but the court room is packed
when the attorneys for either side make
their speeches. So far four able speeches
have been delivered by lawyers interested
in the case and they have been given
close attention, although some of them
lasted three hours or more. The array OF
legal talent on both sides is brilliant and
among the spectators may be seen many
young attorneys of Birmingham who are
present TO benefit by the wisdom of their
elders In the profession. At present there
is large number of young attorneys in
Birmingham, all Of whom are interested
in this trial"

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says:
prodigious amount of 1attery that
has been extended to the nominee Of the
Chicago convention, especially as the re-
publican leaders have not been under
stood to be warmly favorable to Mr..
Roosevelt. They have been afraid to
swap horses when it required a great
deal of skill ard care to keep from being
drowned. Flattery. though, is a conspicu-
Gus part of campaign work. 1t must be
expected. 1t doesn't help the people to
much real information. but 1t satisfies
great many superficial men who have
votes, and who are the peers of anybody
at the polls. 1t Is gratifying to hear that
the regular speaking campaign will not
set in till the LIST of August After the
''gush' incident to the conventions is
over, there will be a period of rest 1t
will be welcome.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
1t is very uncomfortable for girl to
sit three in buggy seat-three girls.
The way the average man would like
to reform trusts would be from the in
side.
When woman lets a man hold the
baby It Is a sign he is not going TO call
on her again for a long time.

The Match Habit.

Did you ever stop and consider the
number of persons who will ask you
for a MATCH" said a gentleman at the
Morris last night. while 1 am not a
smoker myself. I usually carry few
matches just to accommodate my friends.
was in the office of one of the news
papers yesterday, and no less than a
dozen persons asked me for a match.
of course no one objects to giving a
friend match when he has one. but
1t seems to be almost impossible for any
man to keep supply always on hand"

n MISSISSIPPI mob has capped the
WIN climax for mob antics by induc-
ing the victim of a negro to
serve as executioner at his lynehing while
the populace looked on in mild approval
In press dispatches we are told that a
little fourteen-year-old girl tied the moose
about the wretch's neck and then lead
the horse on which he was seated out
from under him. leaving him dangling
in the air. As a rule mobs are not very
creditable to the communities In which
they flourish for a brief time but the
Mississippi mob has certainly reached the
limit of brutality. 1t would have been
criminal in the eyes of the law to lynch
the negro, anyway, but to drag his vic
tim into the proceedings was a crime
against deeeney that cannot be excused on
any ground. Even mob should have
known better.
After all the road to a mans heart
often lies through his stomach, or words
to that effect. Chicago man has just
induced the divorced wife of his bosom
to return TO his desolated home after
five years of absence and his reasons for
marrying his wife again are extremely
practical-"Hattie Is such good cook"
This man PIRATES not of the divine pas
sion; he weaves no castles In the air
which are to be inhabited by himself
and one other. he dreams not that he is
knight Grant and Will rescue his 'ladye
iaire' from parlous plights, he does none
OF THESE Tor he is practical man. He
likes good pie and good cake, he has an
eye single for viands that tickle the pal
ate and as result he has persuaded
Hattie" to come home again. IT would
be cruel now IL Hattie" should hire a
COOK with propensity for policemen and
never go near the kitchen.
According to the Augusta Herald a GER
tain damsel of that town remarked re-
Gently that Rowing on the lake in this
gorgeous moonlight makes you feel like a
beautiful poem" The Herald suggests
that mo doubt the lake rippled with
laughter" which is no doubt joke Now
the young lady who made the foregoing
assertion is perhaps a very romantic per-
son, who has a propensity for mixing her
metaphors. Her remark was original and
rather pleasing to the fancy until one
stops to consider just what 1t means.
There are some young women who are
described as dreams" and bonnets have
been called poems" but 1t is probable
that very few people know what it is to
be poem. 1t really seems that the young
lady of the lake was suffering from an
overdose of moonlight and hence a
wildness that would have done credit to
