LONG DISTANCE VIEW
Parisians Still Very Much Interest
ed in Royalty.

Paris, Feb. 1l.-Having no King
or Emperor themselves, Parisians,
like Americans are more or less
interested in royalty, which is al
ways interesting at distance.
The greater the distance the great
err the interest.
For some time we have been ex-
ceedingly busy trying to pick out
suitable bride for KING Alfonso,
though that headstrong young
man insists that he will do the
picking out or die bachelor, there
by, of course, leaving his people in
the terrible predicament of becom-
ing citizens of republic or sub
nit themselves to a King not born
to be their ruler by the grace of
God.
Then came the riots of Russia,
which kept us trembling in fear
lest we should lose the Gar from
two much saluting, and now that
peace has again been restored in
the empire Of our friend and ally,
we discover that we have neglected
to look after the welfare Of the
Grown Prince of Portugal, who
stands IN need of a bride.
So far we have not been able to
suggest anybody but Princess Pat
ricia of Connaught, whom Parish
ans, by the way, seem to be partic-
ularly anxious about, and whose
name they mention in connection
with every manageable prince in
Europe. The young Gown Prince
who bears the title of Duke of Bra
ganza, is II years Of age and as he
is a Roman Catholic the supply oil
available princesses is very small.
Still the exact form of the brides
religion is matter of no very vital
Importance among royalties. Did
not the Protestant Princess Alix
of Hesse become a member of the
Greek Church when she married
the Gar?
In any case the future bride OF
the Crown Prince will be lucky,
tor he is an unusually intelligent
and attractive young man. He was
born in Lisbon, and has only very
seldom left his native land.
His mother, Queen Amelia. who
is one of the most sympathetic of
queens, has personally looked after
his education, no phase of which
has been neglected. He is we'll

time to the study of railroad prob
lens, having large practice in
railroad damage suits resulting
from accidents. He is now en-
gagged as counsel for the State of
Michigan 10 one of the greatest
railroad tax cases ever tried in
that State. His thoughts have
been along these lines tor several
years and he naturally gave the
President the benefit of his views
in various conferences at the
White House. 1t was at one of
these interviews that the President
placed In his hands certain ideas
Of what legislation ought to be en-
acted.
Together with Representative
Escb, who was in sympathy with
these ideas, a bill was framed.
Messrs. Townsend and Esch were
almost alone, SO far as the Repub-
lican members of the committee
were concerned, but the Town
send Esch bill was eventually re.
ported favorably from the, com
mittee. Mr.. Townsend drew the
report and was selected to take
charge of the bill when it came
before the House for considera
ton. He iscan orator and thinker
Of much power and keenln debate.
It Is, indeed, an honor for a new
member to make such progress in
his first term.
Representative Esch was born in
Norwalk, Wis, March 20, 1861, of
German parents, and afterwards
moved to Milwaukee, where he
still resides. He is an enthusiastic
believer in plenty of outdoor exer-
else. He daily takes long walks to
and from the Capitol, averaging
from five to seven miles. At col
Iege he played football and base
ball, achieving considerable dis
tinction as a pitcher. He says he
regards baseball as the greatest of
all outdoor games.
Il am still a rooter," exclaimed
Mr.. Esch, ''and would miss my
dinner almost any time to see a
good game of ball"
Mr.. Esch's personal acquaintance
with President Roosevelt dates
from the time the President paid a
social visit to Milwaukee last year.

RAILROAD RATES.
Authors Of Esch- Townsend Bill Are
Roosevelt Men.

AbVSSNNSAV AANas
Washington, Feb. 11.-Charles
L. Townsend, of Jackson, Mich,
and John Jacob Esch, of La
Crosse, Wis, we're practically I'M
known in national history before
President Roosevelt declared war
on the railroad corporations and
demanded that Congress enact leg
islation giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission power to fix
railroad rates.
Had the President made a per
sonal canvass of the House of Rep
resentatives he could not have
selected two men better fitted to
champion the cause of railroad
rate reform than these two modest,
unassuming Representatives from
the Middle West. They are West
ern born, and possess just such
personal characters as would ma
turally appeal to the author Of
'The Strenuous Life
Mr., Townsend is serving his first
term and Mr.. Esch is rounding
ont his third term. Two finer
physical specimens Of American
.4rn$ahood can not be found in the
entire membership Of the House.
BY nature, training, advancement
/ and personal peculiarities they
closely resemble each other. Both
are, medium height, and their ply
sical development fully iustities
the assertion that in their youthful
days they were devoted to outdoor
sports, so dear to the heart of
President Roosevelt. These ac-
compishmebts were unknown to
the President when he was con-
fronted by these two husky"
Western volunteers a few weeks
ago, each armed with a railroad
rebate bill which at once met his
approval. That measure will 60
down in history as the Townsend
Esch BILL" regardless of its fate
at the hands of the present Con-
gress.
Representative Townsend was

The people of Nashville have
this week given an imitation OF
the fool and his money! II is
said that fifty men stood out in
the bitter cold weather Sunday
night to secure choice seats for
the Mansfield production of "Ivan
the Terrible" Anybody who
would pay two and a half dollars
to see Mansfeld's stage strut, not
to say anything of the fellow who
stands in zero weather all night,
must be faddist or society
"toady." Why such finished per-
formers as K. S. Willard should
play to empty seats when Mans
field is turning people away is a
conundrum to us. Mansfield is
good actor, of course. But, it
would be absolutely impossible to
separate him from his colossal
conceit and stupid arrogance, and
no actor can ever be great who is
so thoroughly afflicted with this
malady. Edwin Booth was a most
agree9s.ocjffe companion and a gen
a NO
.Neman, every inch Of him. Booth
could smoke his pipe and enter
tain friend while waiting for his
cue with as much bonhomie and
suavity as if he wasn't 10 ten miles
of a play, and yet-beholdl AS
soon as he stepped before the foot
light there was q perfect reincar-
nation of Hamlet or the dissem-
bling Shylock. That was great
ness. But Mansfield! He would
have every stage hand standing on
his head and every member of the
company covering and cfinging
while he pompously entered with
the Henry Irving stage stride and
whitening visage. No, Richard
Mansfield, the actor, is handicap
ped with too great load of con-
ceit and mannerism to figure as
compeer of great actors.

THE LADIES WILL RESPOND.

IL THE arrangements to entertain the National
Editorial Association, committee of ladies agreed to
serve the luncheon, provided the men would furnish
the ''snews of war for he same. At first it was
thought advisable to raise the money purchase the
materials and employ cook TO prepare them but on
further consideration, the committee concluded
'boughten grub was not good enough for the editors
and that they should be given luncheon prepared BY
the skilled hands of the queens of our own kitchens
1t was believed that the women of Chckasha cannot
be surpassed as culinary artists and we propose to
demonstrate this fact to our visitors No doubt the
good things they can prepare viii tickle the palaes Of
the editors more than anything that hired cook
could provide.
Already large number Of the ladies Of the city
have expressed their approval of this plan and signi
fed willingness to do their part Now the commit
tee appointed for the purpose is arranging to call on
every lady in the city within the next few days and
ask for contribution chicken, turkey, ham, pies,
cakes, salads ETC. A list of the various articles aud
the amount Of each required has been prepared.
The committee of men appointed to solicit money
did good work yesterday Practically
every one called upon made liberal donation. A
few remain to be seen and these will doubtless re-
spond just as generously.
The entertainment of the editors is to be given
by all the people of Chickasha Men and women
alike will do their duty loyalty and cheerfully in
cause that means SO much for Chckasha

Ially he bituminous coal situation
stocklio Mt the present time is in q
agem' unsettled condition, and
risntees are being cut right and left
'-by the operators, SO much SO that
are not being maintain.
Oh, and no general price is now in
,seffect.
! On December 1, 1904, the price
of soft coal was advanced By the
big operators from $I.S5 to SLIGO
per ton, and it was expected that
the little fellows would fall in line,
hut this they failed to do, and all
kinds of prices have been quoted
since that time.
During the past week the big
operators decided On a general cmt
and the following prices will pre-
uail after February /: Domestic
lump, 81 35; screened, 81 25; run
of mine, sI.O5.; nut. 9Oc pea, 60c !;
nut pea and slack, 60c; coarse
slack, 40c
The retail price Of coal, which
he's been fluctuating between 1915
and So 90 per ton since January 4,
will drop 25 cents on February J.,
and the maximum price will be
s2.75
A movement is on foot among
the big miners to do away with the
middle man, or jobber. in the lar
ger cities. and if this. is done all
the coal will be sold direct by the
operator.
President Lewis Lampman of
the Hooking Coal exchange, speak
ing of the cut. SAID Monday:
People talk about laws to reg.
ulate corporations. but they are
unnecessary. Whenever somebody
is making 20 per cent. on an in
vestment a lot of other fellows get
in and cut it in half. These things
regulate themselves.
''The cut to take effect February
/ is caused by the fact that we
have more coal than customers
Last year the big anthracite strike
made a demand for coal at the lake
ports and mining was very profita-
ble- This year there is no strike
and but little demand for coal. To
add to the situation there is q
great increase in The number of
mines IN operation. It IS the old
story of supply and demand.
There are too many miners, too
much COAL"

FRANK h. TENNYHILL,
Formerly of Lugan, Sustained
Injuries From Which
He Died.

LIMA, ONO, January 21st, 1905.
Frank II. TennyililI, young ma
chinist apprentice, student and
athlete, died at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Laura Tennyhill, in
the Commercial block, at 2 o'clock
a. NJ. this morning, death resulting g
from an injury he sustained last
Thursday evening while exercising
in the gymnasium at the 7. NJ. c..
A. building.
The fatality is indeed sad and
deplorable one and is the result of
the only serious accident that has
ever occurred in the local Y. n. G..
A. gymnasium during the history Of
the association in this city. 1t
was an accident of a character that
might not occur again under SINH
lar circumstances in years and was
also one for which no blame can
possibly attach to Physical Direc-
tor Shepard or any of the other
officials of the association.
The unfortunate youth was Is
years of age and had been a MEM
Der of one of the gymnasium class
es and had also been attending
some of the night school classes in
the educational department for
srme time. Thursday evening be-
fore the gymnasium class for the
evening had ;een called, and be-
fore PhysicafDirector Shepard had
arrived at the floor of the gymna
sium, young Tennyhill and some
companions began to amuse them
selves by performing feats of
strength and ability and attempted
that which has always been pro-
hibited in the gYmnasium-the
performance of a difficult feat
without the presence or approval
of the physical director. TepnY-
hill placed his hands on low h0r-
rizontal Dor and attempted to jump
between them without releasing
his hold. His toe caught the bar,
he lost his hold and pitched head
foremost onto thin mat on the
floor. The force of the fall, to-
gether with the manner in which
the young athletes head hit the
mat produced a vertebral fracture
near the base of the brain and
causing such injury to the great
nerve cord as to produce paralysis
of the spine and brain.
The young man was removed to
his home and had the attention of
several physicians. but as was
feared from the first. he was be-
,Aond the possibility of human aid.
'u The deceased was employed as
fachinist apprentice at the Lima
locomotive and Machine company
