Parker Boom Appears.

The Parker boom has made it's appear ance here in a well defined form This evidence of systematic and regular work that is going on in favor of the Judge is called "cosmographic," under which name is issued a variety of literary com pilations in convenient form to be copied in papers that are booming Parker for the nomination. Editors are informed that If they wish to obtain pictures Of Judge Parker they may do so by com municating with the publishers.
 Ire first article Is In relation to his regularity in voting for the nominees of democratic conventions. Then follows a description of his personal appearance. The judge is declared to be six feet and of giant strength, .his shoulders are broad, his chest deep and his muscles the muscles of an athelese. His mouth is large and masculine with thick lower lip The upper teeth arc big, fiat and white, the lower steeth are smaller. The nose is aquiline, nowhere in the face is there suggestion of craft. nor is there anything SlueWiS6 UT Sly III lfib eyes. Y GW men are more decorous or careful in their dress.'
 Among other statements in this issue of the Parker newspaper bureau, is the following:
 "senator German says: T cannot secure the nomination and will go to work for Parker I would prefer that my friends favor him to the exclusion of any other candidate. Let no other man step in and beat him. If the convention should decide that I should be nominated then well and good, but otherwise I would prefer to see Parker our next President Of course, Senator German never made any such statement, but Senator German says: There Is absolutely no truth in it. l have not spoken in favor of or against Judge Parker or any other candidate. I have declined to express my preference. I 70 not want to say anything to discour- age the candidacy of Judge Parker or any one else, but this paragraph Is simply not true"

Interesting Bits.

 A letter rom M. Sidoroff, landed proprietor of the government of Ula, now going the rounds of the Russian newspapers, Is causing much merri- ment. "A typical German trickster. !" writes M. Sidoroff, arrived at our viii lage of Anastasevka on April 12 and announced that the first Japanese pris- oner was coming along in an iron box and that if the mir Communal coun- ciD voted a sum of two rubles the peasants would be allowed to hear him squeal for mercy and afterward sing his national war song. The mir appar- ently voted the money, for tho per formance was in full progress outside the state public houses when l ar rived. On table in the roadway was a small box, from trumpet affixed to which issued in good but squealxy Eng fish the famous 'Ta-ra-ra Boom-de- ya'"

Riding Astride In England.
The sportswoman in the Illustrated Sporting News.

The Sportswornan in the Illustrated
 Sporting News.
 The children of royalty are made &C., quainted with the saddle shortly after they become able to walk. Little Prin- cess Victoria of Wales, granddaughter of King Edward. is no exception to the rule; but she certainly is as to the method of riding. She is being taught to ride in what is known in England as the new style" which means that the cross seat has been selected for her. Royal patron- age implies much in England, and the fact that it approves of the use of the mans saddle by women will eventually county for more in doing away with the side saddle than If a dozen of the most prominent horse-women In the country should adopt the former. Princess Vic toria's riding costume Includes a lSilted skirt and double breasted reefer, and when she is astride of her pony the skirt hangs neatly on both sides. The Prince and Princess of Wales are a very sem sible couple, and 1t Is not at all likely that they would permit their daughter to ride astride if they did not wish It to be un- derstood that the new fashion of eques- tration had their hearty approval Fol lowing so closely on the appearance on Rotten Row of the divided skirt, the latter's vogue is assured.

PREPARING FOR RADICAL ACTION
VATICAN CONTROVERSY WILL BE FULLY PRESENTED IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPu- TIES ON FRIDAY.

Paris, May 24.-The government has de- cided to fully present the vatican eontro- yersy, eliminating in the recall of M. Mis- ard, to the chamber of deputies Friday. A violent debate Is expected. and the government is preparing itself for more radical action than that heretofore taken, since 1t is anticipated that an effort will be made to abolish the French embassy to the holy see. Foreign Minister Del casse will present the diplomatic negoti- ations with the vatican and Premier Combs will set forth the attitude and ln- tentions of the government.
 The officials express the belief that the embassy will not be suppressed, but they say the present feeling may lead to that result when the appropriation for sus- taining the embassy comes before the chamber month hence. at which time the budget for foreign affairs will be considered. But some parliamentary ele- ments are seeking the immediate con- sideraion of the matter with the view of abolishing the embassy.
 The officials here do not credit the re- port circulated by the Trlhuna of Rome. that King Alfonso has indefinitely post poned his proposed visit to President Loubet, in order to avoid friction with the Pope.
 The Spanish Kings visit to M. Loubet has been settled upon in principle, but the days have not yet been considered.
 Members of the diplomatic corps say 1t is definitely settled that the protest to which France took exception was ad- dressed by the vatican to Spain. This was the only protest containing the clause intimating that the papal nuncio would be withdrawn if other and similar visits were made to King Victor Emanuel
 The correspont of the Temps at Rome telegraphs on the authority of the vati- can that the intimation relative to the withdrawal of the nuncio went to only one foreign power, whose ruler contem- plated visiting the quirinal.

here, gentlemen, It depends on this contest Some one in the vicinity has promised to let me fix the day if am elected The meeting cheered, and he was elected.
 In certain districts of England for. merly when an owner parted almost entirely with other rights to a house he would reserve the right of boiling hfz pot on the fire. This secured to him the right of voting. and. what was of more importance, the position of be. ing freeholder. At Taunton. for ex. ample, the voters were called pot wallopers," because they had the rights to "wallop" or boil their pots at the fire in their freehold houses. Sometimes when person parted with long lease, but not with the freehold of house. it was expressly stipulated that he should keep the right to boil his pot on the fire.
