HoBsoN,s SPELLING.
Gallant Captain Turned Down on the
 Word Sorghum"

From the Denver Republican.
 Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, re- gently defeated by Representative Bank head for the democratic nomination in an Alabama district, possessed in his young CT days at least one element of great ness. He could not spell.
 While stationed at the Newport News Shlpbuilding and Dry Dock company s plant as an assistant naval constructor, the hero of the Merrimac incident was inveighed into an old-fashioned spelling bee.
 On the second round he received the word sorghum" Although a native of a state in which that article of commerce was an important factor in the good old days before the war. the young naval officers expression indicated that he never had heard the word before
 He went at 1t, however, like a profes- slonal wrestler endeavoring to secure a half-nelson on a dangerous opponent
 wg-u-m" he blurted out.
 When the audience went wild with glee the humiliated naval officers face re- sembled the color of full blown poppy. He retired in confusion, and thereafter re, fused to even attend the spelling bees given in the town during the remainder of his stay.

VEGETARIAN COLONY IN KANSAS

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The remark by an Allen county paper about high water in Vegetarian creek re- calls the circumstances of a curious col- ony located in the valley of this creek in 1856.
 It was composed of about 100 persons gathered from different parts of the east, and all were members of the cult devoted to vegetable diet. In joining the colony the members were required to make the pledge that they would refrain from the use of meat, tea, coffee, tobac- co and other forms of stimulant and live entirely on vegetables and fruits. During the first year. however, there was a great deal of sickness among the colonists, and it was observed that the neighboring peo- pie who ate everything which came to hand were healthier by far.
 Not unnaturally this discouraged the doctrine of vegetables alone, and many left the colony, while others recanted Of the whole colony the only one who can be called to memory is Capt. S. J. Stew art. state senator from the Allen county district, and owner still of the original claim which he took in 1856. The remain ing memento of the settlement is the name Vegetarian creek. given to the stream along which the colonists set tied

iLto the coming race to encounter cer- tain defeat. The exlgencies of the re- publican party are so great, however, he will probably be drafted, and 1t Is considered as good as settled that he will accept after the nomination Is made
 Colonel Lamont is the man to run against him. He, too, is in touch with strong interests, and his personal pop ularity outruns Mir Roots. Colonel Lamont is known in every part of the state, while comparatively few person ally know the New York lawyer. The democrats have no fear of a contest between Daniel s. Lamont and Elihu Root
 The republican state convention Is to be held September IA at Saratoga and the democratic convention will probably be held September 20 at the same place.

Dan and Elihu.

Up in New York it seems probable that owing to the hesitancy of Elihu Root and the coyness of Daniel La mont both men will have to be drafted and made to serve as gnbernatorial candidates. The democrats have other timber besides Colonel Lamont, but the republicans must have Elihu Root il they are to make plausible can vass.
 It is said that MT. Roosevelt will in duce MT. Root to accept the republican nomination, agreeing to get out of his way in 1908. But 1. MT. Root runs for governor and is defeated he will be out of the running for President in 1908 or at any other time. Perhaps MT. Roots hesitation relates to doubts of success this year in New York. MT. hoot is wanted, not so much because of his popular strength, for he has none-but because there is practically no limit to the campaign money tha. he can raise personally from the strongest interests IL New York city. On the other hand, MT. Roots closest v--nds think he should not be forced

scYTHEs USED AS ORNAMENTS.

From the Christian Age.
 At first sight the scythe is strange or nament for church, but there is nothing incongruous in these curious agricultural implements as seen in the parish church of St. Marys at Horncastle, in Lincoln shire. Thirteen of these blades are nailed above the door In the north chapel. At one time the blades numbered forty or fifty, but owing to rust and decay many of them have been lost. Each of the scythes is about yard in length.
 The general belief is that these blades were placed in the church in commemora- tion of the zeal of peasants who yielded them in defense of their faith In the re- bellion known as The Pilgrimage of Grace" which had its rise at Louth in 1886. When the people saw the ruins of their churches and aDDeys they rose in re- volt, and, arming themselves with the in- struments of busbandry. such as the scythes, they went forth to encounter the enemy They were beaten and dispersed. but In the eyes of their countrymen they were heroes, and the rude implements with which they fought were deemed worthy of an abiding place in the old church, where the peasants had wor- shiped

Turkey and the United States.

Admiral Jewell can sail away to cooler seas, for Minister Leishman and the council of ministers have met and satisfied the American demands-and the Eagle has right to scream again, and the organs will no doubt assert that MT. Hay and the administration have won another great victory. The settlement is said to be satisfactory to both governments.
 No Protestant schools existed when the historic treaty of 1453 was signed. Under that treaty the Catholic, Greek and Jewish schools have been pro- tected, and Minister Leishman asked that the American schools, mostly Protestant, be put on like basis. The truth is. none of tke Christian schools were secure, and many obstacles were put in their way by the porte, until France put an end to the oppression of Catholic schools Dy selZlnS the island of Mitylene, and the United States has ever since tried to procure freedom and security for the Ameri- can Protestant schools. No doubt Min Ister Le:shman has accomplished the task backed up as he was by Admiral Jewell, who had dropped anchor at Smyrna.
 Minister LeishmAn presented many other grievances, anu we will not hear what has been gained from the Sub lime Porte until the wording of the new agreement is cabled to the state department. This may have been done yesterday.
