Wanted Something Definite.

Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee tells in the New York Times
of an old darby living near Nashville
who has, according to his theory, been
dying for many, many years Not
withstanding his persistent belief that
he is near deaths door this darby,
Isaac Bolts by name, is apparently as
well and able-bodied to-day as he was
forty years ago.
Recently Isaac was seized with one
of his spells" A week or so passed,
but Isaac, according to his own state
ment, grew no better. One day a
neighbor in passing the Bolts domi-
cile CHANGED to observe Mrs. Bolts
staring into her face.
How is Ike this morning." asked
the neiEhbor
"Only tol'able, only topable," replied
Mr.. Bolts better half, weary ex-
preston coming into her face.
That's too bad responded the
neighbor sympathetically; II had
hoped he would be well by this time.
He is no worse?''
mo. he amt no worse" went on
the wife dejectedly, AN at de same
time he amt no better. It's allus dis
way. Fust he's worse an den he's
better. Den he's worse again. Allus
dis way! Pom nah soul, honey, ole
Bolts been dom dis way ever since
kin remember"
Then, after a long pause, as if in
deep reflection, the darky's wife add
ed, in plaintive tone:
Honey, 1 do wish ole Bolts 'ud do
somethin definite!"

A DIFFICULTY SETTLED.

Democrats of New York seem to be
happy over the adjustment of the MUIR
ply McCarren difficulty. There was
considerable apprehension that it
would prevent a full vote for the ma
tional Democratic ticket in New York
city.
While Mr. Murphy and Mr.. McCar-
rem are just as hostile to each other
as they ever were. both have made
concessions in the interest of the ma
tional ticket, and from the statements
they make it is a fair inference that
they are glad an adjustment has been
effected.
Mr.. Murphy objected to Mr.. McCar-
rem as chairman OF the Executive
Committee of the Democratic State
sign. Mr.. McCarren, Of course, refused
to resign. Finally it was decided to
add another member to the Executive
Committee, and give him control of
the campaign in New York city. That
plan appeared to be acceptable, and
Victor Bowling, one of Mr.. Murphy's
right-hand men, was appointed to fill
the position. Through him Mr.. Muir
ply will control the campaign in New
York city.
The adjustment of this quarrel will
be received with pleasure by Demo-
Gratis in all parts of the country, be-
cause there was beginning to be a
feeling that Mr.. Murphy was going
to let the election go by default, as
it were-that is. that he wasn't going
to make an exertion to get out big
vote. Now that that matter is out OF
the way, Judge Parker VIII give his at
tentlon to other matters pertaining to
the election.

THE SITUATION AT SHANGHAI.

1t is about impossible to get clear
understanding of the situation at
Shanghai. Under the regulations of
international law the Russian cruiser
Askold and the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer GrOzovoi that took refuge in
that harbor Immediately after the re-
cent battle off Port Arthur ought to
have left there long ago or been dis
mantled. They have not departed and
they are not being dismantled. The
Russians have, apparently, no respect
for Chinese neutrality or for Chinese
authority.
They should have departed twenty
four hours after entering the port if
they intend to leave at all, but they
have been undergoing repairs ever
since Their arrival, and now it is an
nounced that they have been given I'M
til next Sunday morning to complete
repairs. 1t is difficult to understand
the authority on which they are per-
mitted to remain so long.
A Japanese fleet is waiting outside
for them, and if they should go out
it is probable they would not be afloat
very long. The Japanese have shown
themselves to be remarkably good
marksmen. If it we're not for the fact
that Shanghai is an International port
it is probable that the Japanese would
have gone into it long before this and
attacked the Russian ships at their
wharves, just as they went into the
port of Chefu and carried off a Rus
sian torpedo boat that had taken ref
uge there.
Our government has been expecting
there would be complications over the
Russian warships in the port of Shang-
hal, and SO Admiral Stirling, who is
in command OF the American squadron
in the Far East, has been notified to
delay his departure for Manila until
Sept. l. A few days ago 1t was
thought at Shanghai and in this coun-
try that our government had decided
TO take an active part in the compli-
cations at Shanghai, owing to the fact
that when a Japanese torpedo boat
went into the harbor an American
warship went near the Russian ships
and anchored, but it turned out that
the American vessel was only carry
ing dispatches, and had no instruc-
tions to interfere between the Rus
slams and Japanese in the event the
former were attacked.
1t seems there was a meeting of off,
Gals of the Navy Department yester-
day to consider the situation at Shang-
hal, but nothing was made public as
TO what was done. il anything.
The understanding at Washington
seems to be that the Russian ships
will be dismantled after the repairs
upon them are completed. 1t would
be folly for them to try to escape.
The Japanese have swift ships wait
ing for them and would quickly shoot
them TO pieces.

Look at that. sir"
The salesman in a Nassau street
cutlery store glanced up, according to
the New York Press, and saw on the
other side of the showcase a man with
a face half hidden in court plaster.
Drops of blood exuding here and there
indicated that the wounds were fresh.

UNJUST TO MRS. MAVERICK,

A story has been sent out from
Richmond, Va, to the effect that Mrs.
Maybrick and her mother have prac-
tically no interest whatever in the
large body of land in Kentucky and
Virginia for which they have brought
suit. 1t will be recalled that when
Mrs. Maybrick's application for a par
don was pending it was said it was
urged in her behalf that unless she
were permitted to come to this coun-
try and testify in the suit in ques-
ton she would lose a property valued
at many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, and it is being said now that the
British government was deceived by
these representations in her behalf.
Are not statements of this sort UNI
just to Mrs. Maybrick? 1t was stated
before she was granted a ticket-of-
leave that she had remained in prison
about as long as life prisoners who
have conducted themselves properly
are held, namely, twenty years. She
didn't remain in prison that long, but
the time allowed her for good be-
havfor must be deducted. When that
deduction is made 1t will probably APP
pear that she served the full term re-
quired of life prisoners-that is, of
prisoners whose record in prison is
above criticism. Mrs. Maybrick has
not been pardoned. She is simply out
on ticket of-leave and can be arrested
at any time and held for life. If this
is the true statement of the case then
Mrs. Maybrick didn't deceive the Eng
lish authorities, even If she has no In
terest in the land for which she has
brought suit.
But 1t is hardly reasonable to sup
pose she would have brought the suit
or a reputable attorney would have
brought it for her, II she had no in
terest in the thing sued for. Probably
there is some mistake in the statement
| sent out from Richmond. 1t is pretty
certain the English authorities were
not deceived and didn't release Mrs
Maybrick on account of the suit an
hour sooner than they intended.

Santos-Dumont tells this story, says
the Boston Post: "A lunatic leaned
over the fence of the asylum grounds,
watching a repair job that was going
on. Finally he took the pipe from his
mouth, blew fragrant cloud of smoke
into the air, and said with languid
interest to the middle-aged man who
was digging a hole with a spade in
the hard, stony soil:
what wages do you get, friend?
" Six dollars a week., said the la
borer, and he unknotted the red hand
kerchief that encircled his neck and
wiped the sweat from his face.
"'Are you married? continued the
lunat!c.
~ am said the laborer, and /
am the father of eleven young chill
dren besides
THE lunatic, putting his pipe, unused
a little while, Then he said

WHY He Didn't.

II have drawn 2,000,644 teeth" said
the dentist-monk Of Rome recently be-
fore his death.
No charge was made and the priest
worked in the open air in the garden
of his monastery, says the Minneapo-
lis Journal and used no instruments
but his thumb and forefinger. Leo
XIII was one of his clients and Pope
Plus TX said to him once:
Dear brother, / should like very
much to have a tooth pulled by you"
"Oh, Holy Father"
But 1t is impossible
ooh! Why?" said the monk.
Because" returned the Pope quiet

Because uncooked food has been de-
cided upon as the diet for the work
men engaged in constructing the Pan
ANA canal the Chicago Raw Food So
ciety held a jollifcation meeting, look
ing upon the order as a great victory
for them. The government claims that
raw food is the best preventive for
fever of both the typhoid and malarial
type. 1t is now in order for the
faddists to follow the governments
lead and do away with the cooking
stove, a result that the Chicago society
says is bound to come within few

izations on strike in connection with

was told that it was the opinion of
the Chief Executive that the strikers
