Congressman Hardwlck Mistaken for
One Of the House PAGES.


Congressman Hardwick. the boyish-
looking man from Georgia, has had
the experience that has befallen other
youthful statesmen. He was stand
ing close to the speakers desk one day
when one of the reading clerks, mis-
taking him for page, said: Run and
bring me that paper that is lying on
Gen. Grosvenor's desk" Smiling at
the clerks error, the Georgian did as
requested. Half an hour later the
chair recognized "the gentleman from
Georgia" and to the surprise and
modification Of the reading clerk, Mr.
Hardwick, the beardless boy, who
had performed messenger duty short
time previous. arose and delivered a
long speech on the race problem in the
south.

The announcement was made on schedule

The Interesting contest was brought to a

and free trip to the ST Louis exposition to
the most popular letter carrier, high school
boy, policeman and street railway man,
voting coupons to be given with every ten
cents spent at the Mans Store. Mr.. Kauf-

PORT-AU-PR1NCE. Haiti, August o.
The most serious disorders are antici-

excited by the continued rise in the prices
OF all merchandise. and band of soldiers
today made an attempt to pillaee the
central market and the shops in that vi
cfnfty. Other troops and police fmme-
diately interviewed. and re-established

being an American enterprise, must be pro-
tected by the Haytian government and en-
abled to continue In operation.
1t would appear that the Haytians are
particularly opposed to the presence of
Syrians in their country. The Moniteur
Off1ciel of Port-au-Prince, June Q, promul-
gated a law recently adopted by parlia-
ment forbidding the entry into the terri
tory of the republic of all foreigners Of
Syrian origin. Syrians already established
in Hayti were allowed six months in which
to close out their business and leave Hay
tan territory
Officials Prepared.
Minister Powell's recent reports from
Haiti to the State Department have fully
prepared the officials for the present state
of disquiet at Port au Prince. The minister,
from long experience. is able to gauge the
Haitien character very closely and his
warnings of trouble in the past have near
ly always been verified. In fact, he pre-
dicted the 'anti-foreign: agitation which led
TO the attack by the palace guards upon the
French and German ministers at Port .au
Prince recently, and his reports since that
event indicate that order is by no means
fully restored and that the anti-foreign
feeling survives an outgrowth of the
Hatien National Bank scandal and OF I'M
satisfactory business conditions.
Upon quiet hint from the State Depart
ment the Navy Department has been keep
ing close eye upon the situation In Haiti
and Admiral Sigsbee. with his Caribbean
squadron, has managed to keep at least one
warship at all times within a day or two's
sail of the Haiten capital. The Ameri-
can interests in Port au Prince and vicinity
are considerable and aside from the rail-
road and some local municipal properties,
some of the surrounding plantations are
controlled by American capital. The Hal
tien president, General Nord, himself
famous reyolutionist is of an exceedingly
restless disposition, and but for his great
age would probably repress the present dis
orders with the greatest energy ana stern
ness.

VISITING A FINE ART.
Being a Welcome Guest is Rare Ac-

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Visiting is a fine art, the gift of being
we'll entertained ranking with that of en-
tertaining well. To accept favor is some
times far more difficult than to bestow one
and to place oneself under obligations to
friend so that the friend does not feel that
she is giving any more than she receives in
return is delicate matter not easy of ac-
complishment.
To fit oneself into the everyday life of
another SO that one Is not obtrusive Is
rare and desirable achievement.
