GOSSIP ABOUT ROOSEVELT
BY w. T. MANNING.

Washington, April 16.-Never in the history of candidates has the sponta- neous development of sentiment for single candidate such as is now being made manifest about Parker been par elleled. It seems almost as though the country had been prepared and was ready to receive his name. Here we are in touch with remote sections of the country. From every quarter comes the news that Parker is the man for the people. Nothing says Senator Car mack, "can stop the nomination of Judge Parker I find he is better known in rural sections than he is in the big cities There his record has been. examined his personal traits closely scanned.

No more Hall Columbia!" Thus the edict has gone forth. From now on "The Star-Spangled Banner has been declared the national air and must be played on ships of the navy both at morning and evening colors. Up to the present time "The Star-Spangled Banner" has been played at the raising of the flag in the morning and the other with the lowering.

Manchuria Is Big Thing.
From the New York Observer.

From the New York Observer.
 The importance of the prize for which Russia is now contendng in the far east, may be judged from the fact that Man churia, which corresponds in latitude 10 Manitoba, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska. has an area of 362. BIO square miles, which Is only 10000 square miles less than the combined area of 2D2 times greater than California, and as big as Texas, Alabama. and Louisiana combined In the northern part of the province are thousands of square miles of rich wheat land entirely untoched.

presidents recent scheme for extending the pension list is one of Benson's many brilliant ideas for the benefit of the republican party. Soon after the war Henson is said to have become a rich man, as riches were then counted, but to have lost everything through the con duct of a partner. After that blank oc- cured in his career and even his fam ily-so brother told me-didn't know where he was. Then he turned up in New York as the projector of a first class national magazine. He got three persons of high literary and political prominence to edit this; but owing to some difficulty with partner again. this venture fell through after the pub
 licaton of the first number. This was called the American Sentinel and many critics pronounced it the finest first is sue of a magazine that had ever appear ed in this country. 1 heard recently five dollars offered for a perfect copy of it.
 What Provo Benson has been doing since then, unless it be electioneering for some of his old friends, like Senator AL ger, 1 don't know; but I am credibly in- formed that he is now, though in ap- parently humble capacity, right next the president. At any rate. the president could hardly have an intellectual valet acuter and astuter As tutor in private to the presidential mind or as tooter in public of the presidential horn, old Provo could fill the bill better than Ris or Roche. Nor need 1t be wondered at that MT. Roosevelt, president and com mander-in-chief of the armies of the United States of America. should ee- vate an elderly man, who camG out of the civil war just as mere private, into a position of more than cabinet closeness. It is becoming for strenuous, impetuous youth to lean respectfully on the brain of age. It is morally lovely to see a loftiness bend gracefully down and lift up a lowliness into it's close em- brace. History lacks not of example; clever Louis XI, of France took loving cups of counsel with his barber.

Ancient French Fairs.

An unsuccessful effort has been made
In France to revive the fair of Beau
caire on a scale comparable to that Of
the good old times. These fairs began
In the thirteenth century, and gradually
rose to such proportions that in 1890,
for instance, the business transacted
amounted to 100000 francs. Before
the middle Of the last century the rail-
way changed all this, and to-day the
fair is a mere shadow Of its former self.

MURpHY-M' CARREN FEUD BITTER
Parker Managers in New York Alarmed Over Situation
The Judges Candidacy Has Caused Serious Split

A New York dispatch says the Muir
phy-McCarren feud has developed a
degree of bitterness in that state
which has alarmed the Parker,mana
gers and excited feeling of apprehen-
sion among national leaders of the
democratic party, who fear that what
ever may be the outcome OF the local
fight the feud may cause the loss of
the state to their presidential ticket.
1t is learned that at least two members
of the democratic national committee
have spoken to both Murphy and Me-
Carren on the subject, and urged them
to stop fighting until after the cleo
tion anyhow. Murphy told one OF
these committeeman in more or less
polite terms to mind mis- own business.
He showed no disposition whatever to
come to terms, and made it plain that
Tammany would take no active part in
the campaign if Senator McCarren re-
mains at the head of the state execu-
tive committee. McCarren was more
pacific. He made the usual boys eX-
cuse that he had not started the fight,
and said that if Murphy would let him
alone he would let Murphy alone.
The net result of the interference OF
the national committeeman is increas-
ed bitterness between the two factions.
There is good reasons for the appre-
tensions of the national leaders. Dem
ocrats now see the Tammany and
Brooklyn factions fighting in way
that has never been equaled in New
York city. The weapons used on both
sides are city offices, and no pretence
of decency is made in carrying on the
warfare. McCarren officehol6ers are
removed daily by Tammany heads OF
departments solely because they will
not desert McCarren and submit to
Murphy. The Tammany department.
chiefs do not even take the trouble to
make fictitious charges. After Dock
Commissioner Featherson had remov-
ed Assistant Commissioner Hasenhug
he was asked why he had made the re-
moyal. The reply was: 81 fred
Hasenaug. See? Isn't that enough"
Comptroller Grout, on the other hand,
is using the finance department to
hello McCarren in the fight. He has
"provided" for men removed by Tam
many. and he is prepared to dismiss a
Tammany man from his department
for every McCarren man removed BY

OVER 10 POUNDS PER CAPITA.
The Amount of Coffee Consumed
in This Country Yearly.

The American Grocer declares that
the United States is the greatest cot
fee consuming county in the world.
To prove this, assertion statitics are
adduced to show that the average an
nual consumption is about l0,987, $40
pounds, which provides 1919 pounds
per capita. A steady decline has been
observable in the average import
price cost per pound, which is now
less than half what it was in 1893 In
that year the average import price
was 14.0 cents, figure which was con-
siderabIy exceeded during the succeed
ing two years, reaching maximum of
I6.4. Since then there has been con-
tinuous decline to the present price OF
6.5 cents. The bulk OF the coffee sold
at retail averages about 20 cents per
pound.
