Probably the most pleasing announce ment that has come from the headquar- ters of the Casino management in some time, is the arrangement for the presen-
 don of The Typewriter Girl' at the summer playhouse at the East Lake Casino this week.
 Like great many other big musical successes of the past, it was thought that this merry entertainment would be a long time coming down the line. but progressive management has quickened the pace, resulting in the appearance of a well selected company in the rollicking success. all week, including matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, commencing tomorrow night.
 "The Typewriter Girl" is a study just long enough to give some reason for a lot of good natured fun, and for the intro duction of numerous musical numbers and specialties. There is usually a plot of some sort. with every musical com edy, and this one Is so equipped, but 1t won't be heavy enough to worry anyone, and 1t is a sure fire shot that there will be no case of listening to the troubles of some one. It will be all for fun and fun for all.

From the New York sun.

From the New York Sun.
 When Elihu Root was graduated from Hamilton college at the head of his class, he had choice between following his father as a teacher of mathematics and going to New York to break into the law. He chose the law somewhat to the dis appointment of his father, who was pro- lessor of mathematics in the college and was known to all Hamiltonians as Cube Root. For young Elihu Root had been a wonder In mathematics; he could see further into mathematical distractions than even his father, they said at Hamll- ton.
 "Very we'll" said Professor Root, when the young man made his choice. "Pll give you letters of introduction to some people in New York who will help you.'
 'T don't want them," replied young Root. "Pm starting out to do this thing myself. I'm going to make my own friends without any family pull. I want to find out whether I'm a man or a mousse
 So he drifted into the disturbed New York of that day, found corner in a law office and went to work.
 The year or two of privation that fol- lowed has usually been omitted in the biographies of MT. Root. The fact Is that for a long time he lived on 50 cents a day, and when even his resource was gone he scraped along by tutoring in mathematics, for which he had the fam fly talent.
 From the time he struck New York until he was making a living out of his law practice, Young Root-they called him Young even after he was well past middle age-supported himself. He did this voluntarily; 1t was part of his process of finding out whether he was a man or a mouse.
 The close of the civil war was a time of opportunity From the very first MT. Roots marvellous analytical faculty, his application, his will showed him toward large affairs.
 He had a good practice and was finding his friends for himself before he was %. By the time he was 30 he had good corporation practice and was a leader of the New York bar
 It was a great many years before he was recognized outside of his own pro- fession. In 1t he was known as one of the strongest, most farseeing. keenest lawyers alive. Yet the country at large heard little of him until he stepped Into the shoes of Secretary Alger to make over disorganized war department. His period of quiet preparation covered the whole period of national growth between the civil war and the Spanish war.
 It was because he was a great lawyer that he was suddenly injected into na- tional affairs.
 q shall put the best lawyer I can find at the head of the War Department, said President Mckinley. in discussing a successor for Secretary Alger. It was as a lawyer that MT. Root was

chosen; his political record had not been startling. Like his predecessor. Ssere- tary Hay, he was made for the direction of large affairs. not for the seeking oi small offices.
 As lawyer he gave the government the most efficient administration of the War Department since the civil war
 How did you get the army reorganiza- tion bill through?" they asked him after his work in the department was done, for the passage of that bill was the most difficult feat of his administration. Sec retary after secretary had tried to re- organize the army and had been beaten by the powerful static forces which all ways lined up against reform.
 'T took the army for my client" he said That's all''
 Because he will probably carry that principle into his administration of the State Deparement and because his ab- solute devotion to his clients is tra- dition among lawyers his character as statesman may be summed up in his abilities as a lawyer.
 Above all his other qualities is that of far seeing analysis. The mathematical genius of his family shows in that. In his early days at the bar he was noted as a cross-examiner, and this all
 
 He was a terror to shifting witnesses and a scourge to liars.
 Only those who watched his methods closely knew that this was because he had gone to the very bottom of every detail in the case, threshed 1t out to it's last analysis and come into court with the case so clear in his mind that he had 8 parry at once for every thrust of his antagonist. however unexpected
 No enthusiasm ever threw him off his balance; no one ever knew Elihu Root to lose that perfect poise of his Friends of the family say that he got this quail ity from his mother a woman all sweet ness and friendliness. but of perfect self possession in all emergencies.
 This custom of analysis became habit with Ellhu Root.
 What Is at the bottom of this thing?" is the first question that seems to spring into his mind when he sits down to the consideration of any case or of any prob lem.
 He takes no rest until he reaches the ultimate analysis. From this, with his wide experience of men and affairs, he can build the situation back again, step by step, to it's logical conclusion.
 It Is a common mistake to suppose that ina gination has no part in mathematics and other exact sciences. Original work in mathematics needs as much imag gina ton as poetry; imagination marks the difference between the plain senior wrangler and a Sir Isaac Newton. And since the mind of Flihu Root Is at the bottom mathematical imagination Is the force by which he follows logical situ- ation to It's logical outcome
 "Elihu Root can see further into ab- stract proposition than any other man I ever knew" said an official who has grown gray in high government service.

younger; one would guess his age, from the pictures, at 40. Seen in real life. his hair and mustache are iron gray. but his smooth brownish skin Is hardly wrinlkled. His familiar bang of hair tops the round and rather high forehead which Is said to denote imagination.
 Trained in the rather formal school of
 oratory taught at Hamilton college, MT.
 Root Is solid rather than brilliant as a speaker He lines out good, hard sense. without much trimming. For that reason he Is at his worst in an
 after dinner speech and his best In a
 serious political speech. His speech to the convention which nominated Roosevelt
 for president Is a good example of his finest oratory
 Yet MT. Root has his sense of humor, which gleams out now and then. A re- porter who had annoyed him by foolish questions once capped the climax by ask ing whether the President was going to remove MT. Conger, minister to China, or was going to ask his resignation. Neither" answered MT. Root "I think
 that the President will employ the Ori-
 ental subterfuge of sending him pos-
 oned letter."

A New Jersey Mans Body Found in His
Sleigh.

New York, Feb. 8. George Williams,
grocer Of Watching, N. j., was muir
deTed and robbed while driving in d
sleigh near Watching yesterday
An unknown man, who had hired Will
lams to drive him through a lonely
neighborhood to Horeb, was missing
when Williams body was found in the
sleigh.
Williams had been shot through the
head and the horse and sleigh were
found by the side of the road, the horse
being hitched to the fence. williams
was well-to-do and it IS supposed that
the stranger expected to secure large
sum Of money. Mrs. Williams says,
however, that her husband had only a
small amount Of money with him.
The stranger was first seen in Watch
ing early yesterday and nothing more is
known about him than that he tried
to induce several men to drive him to
the neighboring village of Horeb, and
finally secured Williams.
Nothing was known Of the murder
until the horse and sleigh, with Will
liam's body in it, were accidentally dis
covered.

The letter is as follows:
"For some four years my daughter

WILL co TO PORTLAND.
Teachers Will Not Have In
stitute This Year.


1t has been suggested by SuperIn-
tendent r. G. Egbers, in circular
letter to the teachers, not to have an
Institute this summer, but take q
trip to Portland instead. Most Of
the teachers wish to attend the expo.
sition, and could not afford to attend
both. This plan seems to meet with
popular favor among the. teachers Of
the county. The teachers will at
tend In body as nearly as possible.
The excursion has been planned for
the latter part Of August, SO as to
attend the educational congress
which convenes there August 2s.
It was the intention to hold a
spring institute In accordance with
the sentiment expressed at Standpoint
last summer, but the unsettled state
OF the county in March at the time
the institute should have been held,
made 1t inlpossib ble.. Besides 1t Is ev-
ident that there would be but small
attendance at an institute held dur
ing the VACATION period as must of the
teachers would be away to their
homes. 8G
