"As for MT Storers assertion that authorized him to make such a state ment as he says he authorized to make to the pope, it is untrue. l gave him no such authorization.
 "On December l9 I had written him anent verbal request made to me by an ecclesiastical friend that l should write letter for Archbishop Ireland
 T told him, of course, that l could not interfere in such a matter, as it was none of my business who was made cardinal; that personally l had a very strong friendship and admiration for the arch bishop, and that, individually, it would please me greatly to see him made car dinal. just as it pleased me when Dr. Satterlee was made bishop of Washing ton, but that l could no more interfere in one case than in the other.
 "I say that l never received such a letter as that which MT. Storer alleges he wrote me. l may add that I am by no means certain he ever sent me such a letter."

 THE WHOLE STORY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ID


 ~~->---~-----~-->-~-->- --->~>~~----~---~~------- MT Choate and General Porter were not proper persons to be ambassadors. In view of the intense indignation of MT. and Mrs. Storer at his being removed from office now, there is d certain element of the comic in their attempt to thus get me to remove either you or MT. Choate or Mr. Porter for the purpose of giving MT. Storer either a cabinet position or the embassy in England or France
 Il received many letters of the general tenor of those mentioned enumeratng their hardships and services. and enemies. As Mr. Storer in his pamphlet quotes a letter of November 24 from me, marked personal. in which I told his wife that he should be made special ambassador at the marriage of the King of Spain, alleg- ing that this was a fresh mark of my approval of his conduct, l may mention that the letter containing this statement on my part was in answer to one from Mrs. Storer in which she begged for the appointment of her husband, her letter running in part as follows:
 Please, please send Us to Madrid as special envoys to the wedding. It would be very appropriate. and l would love it. "fhere remains for me to discuss but one matter and that is MT. Storers as- sertlon in his pamphlet that. although In my letters I consistently refused to ask the Pope to promote Archbishop Ireland to be a cardinal, I nevertheless gave him a verbal message commissioning him to make the request on my behalf of the Pope.
 MT. Storer also asserts that President Mckinley took a similar course, commits sioning a gentleman whom he named to ask the appointment of Archbishop Ire land as cardinal as a personal favor to him the President, and as an honor tc the country
 This is the direct contrary of what President Mckinley told me was his att titude in the matter

 held tomorrow in New York The Ameri- can league will meet in Chicago Wednes- day. President Pulliam will return from Europe in time for the National meet ing. He will be opposed for the presidency by Brush and Herman, the anger of both of whom he has engendered. The meet ing of the Nationals will be stormy. The meeting of the Americans will be peace ful, as there is no internal trouble.
 In this connection, it is pointed out that the American is the coming league. Watch the metropolis next season, and see if the TIighlanders do not outdraw the Giants. This is true because the win ming of the championship by the Ameri- cans has wiped from the minds of the fans any old idea of prestige possessed by the Nationals.
 C. W. Boyer of the South Atlantic league is out in an interview to the ef- feet that last season was the most sue eessful of his leagues history.

 Wilson Matthews, who is well remem- bered in Birmingham, is hunting a job as manager of first-class minor league team for next season. He declares that Savannah has no claim on him. In this interview he takes occasion to speak the praise of Ernest Howard, outfielder, whom he describes as being more fin- ished player than Harry Niles, though not as fast. It is admitted that Mat thews is an excellent judge of men. He sold Niles to Birmingham, and afterwards stated that the feet-footed one was as fast as any man in organized baseball. This has since been proved true.
 Joe Villa, the expert baseball writer, at tributes the decadence of the National league to the fact that syndicate ball is played in that company, meaning thereby that the owners of one club have interests in others. It is remembered that charges last series against Charlie Frank of New Orleans were to the effect that he owned the Memphis club. These charges were disproved. It was brought to light

A New Departure in Banking.

Is the time-honored phrase 'in
banking hours" to become obsolete?
A step, at least, in this direction has
been taken in the establishment, in
the city of New York, of bank that
never closes except on Sundays and
holidays. 1t does business day and
night. At this bank money passes to
and fro across the counter from dawn
to dawn. What would Father Knick-
erbocker say to midnight banking
asks the Four-Track News. And yet
why not? 1t is one more great con-
venience added to modern life. II
typifies the spirit of our age. Every.
thing must be ready to our hand. We
will not wait until tomorrow for the
thing that We want to-day. The but
tons Of our desires must be where
IAN press them at will. We tele
e, telegraph, travel at midnigh
md now we bank at midnight. i
IS the logic of events; the answer tt
the onrush Of modern life.

John D. Rockefeller is learning tard-
lily the important truth that com.
munion with the world is worth more
than great riches, says the Washing,
ton Star. For years this man has led
life apart from his fellows. Natur.
ally of a shrinking nature, and secre.
tive to an unusual degree, he has held
aloof by means of his money, buying
great estates wherein he could lock
himself away from the sight of his
fellow men, hiring guards to keep the
public at a distance, riding in special
trains and on private yachts and 9th.
erwise maintaining distance between
himself and the ordinary run of men.
This very exclusiveness whetted the
public curiosity and increased the
pressure. g Rockefeller made the mis-,
take common to many men of his
temperament Of thinking to avoid at
tention by forbidding it. ~

EDITOR ROSEWATER DEAD

Sudden Death Attributed to Excite.

Senatorial Nomination.

Omaha. Neb.-Edward Rosewater,
proprietor and editor of the Omaha
Bee, and prominently identified with
the political, financial and business
affairs of Omaha and the state OF Ne
braska for 40 years, was found dead
in district court room No. 6, on the
third floor of the Bee building. Mr.,
Rosewater had evidently sat down on
a bench in the court room, fallen
asleep and passed away of heart fail

Mr.. Rosewater went to Waterloo,
Neb., Thursday afternoon, where he
made speech at an old settlers re-
union. He reached Omaha on his
return at in the evening, and went
to his office in the Bee building. He
is known to have been in his office
during the evening, but was not seen
by members of his family after re-
turning from Waterloo.
1t was habit of Mr.. Rosewater to
roam about the building, as form
OF physical recreation, and it Is pre-
sumed that he stepped into the large
court room, sat down for a moments
repose and fell asleep.
He was, at various times, member
Of the Nebraska legislature, member

Minnows and Mosquitoes.

Scientists, who have been battling

fish have been used with great sue

satisfied the scientists that the lat

so in stagnant water. Southern cit

cradle amounts in the purchase OF OIL
for destroying yellow fever mosqui-

North Dakota Solves the Adulteratlon
Problem,

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make 1t impossible to deceive PEG,
pie into buying inferior and adulter.
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
LET the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, If any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no -rea
white lead. asa 80 ,.-~ "7na ataE.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception Is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. Il
would leave us free to buy what We
pleased, but would protect US from
unwittingly buying what we did no
want.

Fear of Intervention.
The increasing gravity Of the situa-

down their arms and save the republic
from the danger of intervention. The

All Chemically Pure,

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a well estab,
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vapOrized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely eyapOrated
while performing its function during
process of baking, leaving no atom Of
injurious reSiduOuS substance. The
words Chemically Pure enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream Of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream OF Tar.
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.
