IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Hobo Migrating.

The approach of cold weather said Chief Wier yesterday, will soon turn the hoboes southward, and already there are three or four arrivals day. When they are elected from the trains they take to the ties with their battered, nn- shaved faces still turned southward.
 Not even quarantine inspectors and yellow fever can keep them from travel ing In the direction of warmer weather. Their flight Is as regular and seasonal as that of the wild geese, and the geese and the hoboes move on parallel lines.
 "of the two. give me the geese, Tor there Is some good in them, and there IS none in the hobo. The hobo and the millionaire seem to supplement each other and when one turns southward the other does also."

If the county and state officials always made the eff fort the government has in this case to see that thieves are convicted, then there would be no need of mob law, or hang ings in effigy in our county or in the state.

SALARIES OF NEW YORK EDITORS

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 New York-It seems to afford the edi- tors of Park Row some satisfaction to compare the salaries of the life insurance presidents with that of the President of the United States. Two insurance presi- dents make three times Roosevelt's lump, and there are about a dozen men in the employ of the companies of whom the public never hears who would not change jobs with Mir. Roosevelt if the money was the only consideration. The editors themselves do not rank in point of salary with the big men of the insurance or the industrial enterprises. They" say that Arthur Brisbane pulls down a yearly sal- ary of $40,000 from Hearst This is a top- notch price for editors. St. Clair Nickel way, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, is said to draw only s12,0O0. Most of the big edi- tors here are presidents or managers of their companies and they draw salaries as such. If they depended on their foun- tain pens or their typewriters they would not average over s1O.0o0 a year.

Ohio and PennsyIvania.

In the approaching November cleo threatened with defeat-Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the latter state only a state treasurer is to be elected, but his election and that of a legislature arc contested, and the machine, led by Senator Penrose and ''Iz" Durham, is having the battle of it's life. MT. Plum mer is the republican nominee for state treasurer, and Mayor Berry of Chester the opposition nominee. The Penrose- Durham machine does not call for help, for 1t knows it will get none from Washington or elsewhere. It is leu alone in its shame to make the best fight 1t can. It has nothing in it's favor except an immense republican majority In state devoted to Dingley- ism and corruption in general.
 But Ohio is different. The admin istration does not desire to see Gov ernor Herrick defeated. It would not look well in republican eyes to see the immense republican vote of last fall reversed so quickly, and no little effort will be put forth to avert such dis aster. Washington is alarmed as well as MT. Herrick himself. They sec defeat" written on the wall, and they are bestirring themselves as they never have before to erase it. It is a big fight and very interesting one.

CROSSING THE BAR.
By Tennyson.

By Tennyson. Sunset and evening star. And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the
 bar
 When I put out to sea. But such time as ocean seems asleep. Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the
 boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may therc be no sadness of fare
 well,
 When I embark. For though from ont our bourne of
 time md place, The flood may bear me far, ! hope to sec my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican.
 1 HE papers have been giving con- NY siderable attention of late to the
 utterances of John D. Rocke- feller. For many years this man pre- served sphinx-like silence, as solemn as that maintained on the Egyptian sands. MT. Rockefeller was engaged then in the great game of making money. He had no time to talk. But now MT. Rockefeller is getting old and garrulous. and if not full of wise saws" he is at least full of ''modern instances"
 One of his latest ebullitions is to the effect that he could never be what the world calls good fellow" Nor does the great oil magnate think highly of the type, for he calls upon the young to forsake their path.
 What is good fellow? He is supposed to be one who throws his money about carelessly, and in a way that will afford happiness for others who are not well supplied with money. He is the man who is always ready to "set up' the drinks for the boys" the man who always is ready to furnish cigars for the crowd. Wc Heai OtHcT tilIlBS tO HIS credit, for he not only supplies drink for the thirsty, but those who would other wise go hungry and peddlers find in him their guardian angel.
 But MT. Rockefeller does not like him. He regards him with undisguised hostility. Frankly does he admit that he has never been good fellow" One reason for this dislike Is doubtless the feeling on MT. Rockefeller's part that business and good fellowship do not harmonize and despite the success of some good fellows in business, 1t must sbe acknowledged that what Is popularly known as good fellow ship is not the highest qualification for a strenuous business life. Life Is not a May picnic and the ''good fellow" who insists that 1t should be, is likely to find sooner or later that the forces moving the world are arrayed in opposition to him. The good fellow may scorn his brother who sits in the office for many weary hours in his endeavor to build a firm financial column. He may even plead that he detests money. But the busi- ness man may reply that without this toll even the good fellow would find him.

ATHLE IFS OF THE WEST.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 Out of the west come many young Lochnvars. In the last football season the Yale eleven had six westerners Harvard had four, Princeton had three and Pennsylvania three. Twenty-seven per cent of Yale's student population are westerners. Yet this 27 per cent furnish 46 per cent of the athletes There are 576 westerners among the 4S& men at Harvard University, or 13 per cent, and the westerners furnish H per cent of the athletes. Either the westerners have better muscles and more of them or they know better how to use them.

From the New York Press.
 A girl does not call 1t flirting if she Is having a good time.
 The worst about convincing a woman you love her Is when you have to live up to it.
 We feel very indignant with a man who gets caught doing something wrong we did not set caught at.
 A man who Is ashamed to show his feelings over the death of his grand father will howl like a hyena over . baseball game.
 It Is curious thing that nobody thinks 1t is wrong for a girl to kiss a man until she reaches the age when 1t is inter- esting.

Revision In Massachusetts.

The republicans of Massachusetts have nominated Mir. Guild for gov ernor, and the democrats have put up General Bartlett. Both are worthy men. But the canvass fin Massachu- setts will turn, not upon men, but upon tariff revision, over which the people of that state are much concerned. The democratic platform voices public sen timent when it demands revision of the tariff and the free admission of coal, iron, lumber, hides, wool, pulp and other raw materials. The desire for free raw materials is very strong in Massachusetts-so strong that the standpatters in the republican conven- ton bent before it. That convention did not speak out boldly and clearly, as the democratic convention did, but on the other hand 1t did not stand pat It suggested to its representatives in Congress that they urge the desirabil- ity of tariff revision.
 Will Senator Lodge obey this mild resolution? He is supposed to be a standpatter of the most uncompromis. ing type. He is also the republican boss of Massachusetts. Will he in the Senate suggest the desirability of tariff revision? Will his friend in the White House do likewise in his message?
 These are interesting questions, and in the meanwhile the standpatters are compelled to see one of their fayorite states declare for tariff revision. IT Massachusetts should elect General Bartlett, standing on an out-and-out re- vision platform, the standpatters would begin to see the handwriting on the wall. The country is full of unrest over the manifold robberies of the Dingley tariff, and it's revision cannot be long delayed-certainly not beyond 1908. The chances are the republicans will attempt a weak and partial re. vision before that eventful year

"That Birmingham has done so much in the way of getting new sewers and so many well-paved streets in such f short time is a surprise to modern pro- gress," said visiting newspaper man. Ut simply indicates the kind of mettle that Birmingham men Is made of, and what I see tells me that the people here are determined to have nothing but the best.
 "I am glad to note that young men are coming to the front here That is as 1t should be. New blood in any community is a long step toward the best that can be had from it's raw material, and the right kind of new blood will make any city, while the wrong kind of blood will kill it.

 "Yes, I travel through many states My headquarters are at Jeffersonville, just aross the river from Louisville. My trip through the south has been a rather rough one for the reason that the quarantine has caused me to have to make long jumps. I was in New Orleans when the fever started and did not get out until the latter part of July. Since that time I have guarded myself against getting tied up in some quarantine camp. I see no reason why all quarantines should not be lifted at an early date; but. of course. the physicians know more about that than an ordinary layman."

Immense Increase.

According to the monthly report of the Southern railway for August. which has just been issued, the Birmingham d- vision handled 3s0000 tons of freight" said M. NJ Richey, assistant general su' perintendent of that road, Saturday. That is a handsome increase over the tonnage of the Birmingham division for the corresponding month of 1904.
 ''In August of last year we handled 29o,- 0eO tons on the Birmingham division, which is considered a handsome addition to the freight business of any division of any road.
 "The Birmingham division Is one of the two heaviest on the Southern road. the Knoxville division being the other. There are three divisions on the western dis trict that are heavier than the heaviest on the eastern district. The western dis trict includes the Birmingham division, the Knoxville division, the Atlanta division. the Mobile division. the Memphis division and the Asheville division. The eastern district consists of Washington, Danville, Charlotte, Richmond, Norfolk, Savannah, Jacksonville and Charleston divisions. The eastern division operates s4o2 miles as against 3291 miles.
