TOWN TALK.

A movement has been inaugurated In
New York to prohibit the sale of cocaine
except under authority of a Doctors
prescription.
DR.. Corydon Richmond, first mayor of
Kokomo, Ind, celebrated his ninety
sixth birthday recently. He is in fairly
good health, but has been blind for 10
years. The doctor maintains close inter-
est in medical and surgical science, at
tends his masonic lodge regularly and,
to all appearance, leads a contented and
happy life. He became a mason 70 years
ago.
On account of a recent experience
Magistrate South. of Philadelphia, re-
fuses to try any more cases against men
accused Of desecrating the Sabbath. A
man fined in his court for the offense
was obliged to pawn hts overcoat and
has since been compelled to work out
doors clad in thin raiment. The fact
coming to Magistrate South's knowl-
edge, he bought the man coat and now
advises a change of venue in all like
cases called before him.
John Connaughton, principal keeper
In Sing Sing prison. has not visited New
York city for 20 years. and there is lit
tie likelihood that he will ever do So
The reason of this is that there are In
that city a great number of men who
would welcome an opportunity to kill
him. In his capacity as prison-keeper
for 40 years Mr.. Connaughtcn has
earned the enmity OF many desperate
criminals, most OF whom hate him with
an intensity which would induce them to
murder should the chance offer.

A LAWYER On EQUAL >urrn,ur

Prof. George +. Gardner, Of the
Boston University Law School, at a
public meeting in Boston the other
day condensed much food for
thought into a short address He
said:-

little of my scant leisure IN reading
literature against woman suffrage.
The main objections seem 10 be

pose The burden of political duties
on an already overburden,d sex.
This IS a new note. 1t used TO be

women are as much involved as

THE VICE PRESIDENCY IN DISRE.
PUTE, ALTHOUGH ONE THIRD
HAVE BEEN PROMOTED TO
''HE PRESIDENCY.
The Congressional Record Still Being
Sent Out Filled with Republican
Campaign Literature.
Prom QUO regaIar eorrespondenl

From our regular correspondent
wAsMScroN, ID. C., June as, 1904 -
The summer solstice finds more
political activity al the nations
capital than exists in average years.
Even the Chicago convention has
not wholly succeeded in transferring
partisan discussion. The pro
bounced opposition of great groups
81 business Republicans in New
York and Philadelphia to another
presidential term for Roosevelt is
reflected in our Board of Trade.
Men who supported Roosevelt for
Vice President and have watched
the evolution of some of his brazen
audacities say to one anoiher"What
of the future1 What is Roosevelt
likely to do if he gets free tether
four years lcnga" They feel sure
that he has courage and personal
honesty, but they think him capable
of monumental indiscretions.
The dlsrepute into which the Vice
Presidency seems to have fallen is
current surprise. Always till now
It has been regarded as a very lofty
and honorable Office, worthy of any
mans ambition. OF those who
have been elected Vice President
of the United States, cne-third have
been promoted to the Presidency,
either by death or popular choice,
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and
Martin Van Buren, were thus trans
ferFed by the peoples vote. Roose-
velt's contemptuous kick four years
ago and Cannon's current sneers
have treated the Office as If it were
a degradation; but the Vice Presi.
dent is the Presidents deputy and
the director Of the Senate's business
8. aii umes, and he has salary of
50, 900 a year, considerably larger
than either Roosevelt or Cannon
ever had in their lives prior to the

many Republican votes. however, il
the speech is fair sample which he
made to an immense crowd in the
Chicago Auditorium on Tuesday
evening. He INDUCED in the usual
apothesis of high tariff and re-
presented that one of its glories was
that it enabled American manufac-
turers to sell their products in
Europe at price lower than they
could afford to sell them for to our
own people, He did not hesitate to
specifically state that "Four million
dollars worth of merchandise, the
product of American factories, is
annually sold abroad cheaper than
in the home market" Is il not
reported that Secretary Shaw blush
ed when he made this announce
ment, or that he even stammered.
On the contrary, he waived his
arms proudly and blurted It on as
if he thought it something 10 be
proud of and something which the
Amencan consumers would be glad
to hear. He said II remedy was
demanded it should be found not
in reduction of the tariff, bur in a
repeal of the patent lawsl

Roots speech in calling the
Chicago convention to order was a

There is something astounding about
this, considered in the light of Mr..

HE TOOK POISON.
Preferred Death to Meeting With His
Creditors

Biddeford. Me-. Jan. I.-Rather than
face his creditors. Harry S. Twambley, a
wetl-known jeweler. ended his life to-
day by drinking cyanide of potassium.
Mr.. Twambey's firm assigned a week
ago. Last night. at the store. he was
told that a committee of the creditors
proposed to call on him. He asked his
partner whether il would be necessary
for him TO meet the committee. He
was told that it would be. He went to
the sink-room and procured a solution
of cyanide of potassium and returning,
drank it in the presence of his partner,
with the exclamation:
Il won't have to meet them now He
fell dead.
The coroner said he had taken sufficient
poison 10 kill a hundred men.
