OBSERVE BIRTHDAY
OF JOHN FLEMING
Popular Citizen of North
east HonOred by Friends.
THREE HANDSOME TRIBUTES
Business Mems, Northeast Citizens, and
Natjo7al Engineers Associations
Give Testimonial.

Just when he was preparing his usual
quiet evening at home, John Fleming.
one of the most popular men in the
northeastern section of the city. heard a
ring at his doorbell last night. and a
moment later found himself in the hands
OF more than a hundred of his friends,
who had come to wish him good luck
on his sixtieth birthday. The Fleming
home at ABS Fourth street northeast was
besieged by members of the Northeast
Citizens Association. the Business Mems
Association, the National Engineers AS
sociation, and other friends OF Mr.. Flem-
ing who had heard his birthday was
coming and decided 10 pay him an in
formal call
No word Of the oncoming Of his friends
had reached Mr. Fleming's ears. He is
employed In Baltimore, so II was easy
for every preparation to be made with
out his knowledge The cordiality and
heaIt ~ good-fellowship that pervaded the
assemblage was a manifestation OF the
high regard in which Mr.. Fleming Is
held, and from early in the evening until
midnight there was genuine nerrymak,
ing and a rOusing good time
Three Handsome Gifts.
Good wishes were not sufficient for
the three organizations with which Mr..
Fleming is affiliated, and three hand
some tributes were presented him as
material representation Uf their feelings.
The Business Mems Association pre-
sented. through A. Z. l.. Leckie, hand
some cut glass berry bowl and stand.
The bowl is OF exquisite design and un-
usually large. The mirror Is twelve
inches in diameter and gives a handsome
finish 10 the bowl Mr. Leckie made a
neat speech and told Mr.. Fleming OF the
high regard in which he is held by his
association.
Scarcely had Mr.. Fleming realized the
courtesy extended TO him than Mr..
Donald. representing the National En-
gineers' Association. stepped forward
and offered him a handsome umbrella
as a gift from the association. Then
Citizens Association. with a handsome
clock inclOsed in square glass case.
Makes Impromptu Speech.
Mr. Fleming was compelled TO re-
spond to the series Of manifestations OF
good will from his associates IN the
various associations. His pleasure and
surprise were expressed in an i'm
promptu speech that was characterized
by sincerity and hearty appreciation
Of the honors which had been done him.
Informal species were then made by
other guests and the slxtIeth birthday
of Mr.. Fleming was appropriately cele-
| brated. While the speechmaking was
going on in the front drawing room
| Mrs. Fleming had not been idle and a
} tempting buffet luncheon was in readi-
ness when the program has been con-
I cluded
The Fleming home was A bower OF
| flowers. having been decorated by Mrs
/ Fleming, who told her husband she was
I just celebrating his birthday. Huge
| clusters of roses. daisies. and sweet
peas were distributed about the draw

PRIZE MONEY NEVER CLAIMED.
British Admiralty Has Sums on Hand
for Destroying Slave Ships.

The days when prize money was
looked upon in the navy as an ordi-
nary source of income are recalled by
a notification from the British ad
miralty of money waiting to be claimed
the proceeds Of bounties for the de-
struction of pirates and of the sale of
slave ships.
There is a sum of $4,000 from the
sale of Shaving vessels captured in the
SOS awaiting claimants, also a goodly
amount Of naval prize money and
bounty for the destruction of pirates
which nobody applies for.
Some of those to whom money is
due are, 10 doubt, still alive, but II
they are dead they probably left de
scendants who II the names were ad'
vertised would be forthcoming to sub,
stantiate their claims.
AS it is, there is little demand for
the money in hand. During IL months
dealt with in the statement issued
from Whitehall under $40 have beer

DAYS OF MALE DANDIES.
Feminine Display outdone by Duke OF
Buckingham.

Until the last century, in variety
and magnificence, the human male
followed the rule of the lower animals
that the male shall predominant in
b%rilliance. No woman has ever ruled
through pure ~modishness; there
has never been a feminine counter
part of Beau Brummel. All varieties
of exquisite are male, whether dandy,
macaroni or beau-and not because
they are exceptions to a general rule
of sobriety, but because of a superior
originality and more forcible and dis
tinguished expression.
In the point of extravaganza there
never has been (until the last cen.
tury) any difference between male
and female costume. The duke of
buckingham took 81 suits of clothes
to Paris in 1926, one of white uncut
velvet set all over with diamonds,
worth e14,000. He also wore a dia.
monded feather and diamond buttons
and earrings. A curious fashion for
men prevailed in 1912 Of ~ornamenting
the a with strings of black velvet
ribbon, also Of placing a rose behind

One would think, after seeing the

When to Go Home.

From the Bluffton Qnd.) Pioneer:
When tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get &C
Quainted with the fact. When you want
to show yourself at your best go home
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and
practice on your wife and children
first. When you want to shine with
extra brilliancy go home and light up
the whole household" To which we
would add, when you have a bad cold
go home and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and a quick cure is certain.

completion without mistakes. It is ccr- tain that no human undertaking was eyer begun involving more or greater difficulties than the construction of the isthmian canal, the engineering aiffcul- ties in that ease being the least of all Throughout tho construction it is morally certain that things will occur which those who permit them to occur regret and would avoid another time. And this would be true if the work were intrustcd to delegation of an gels. If the American people do not wish to build a canal involving such chances they should quit right now. They will never get abler or honester men to direct the work than the respon. siblc officials now m charge.
 The animus at the bottom of all the charges is hatred of President ROose- welt because he hates thieves. If Con. gress contained no grafters the Pre- sidcnt 's alleged ovcrstcpping of n,s authority would be discussed in a statesmanlike method and determined on the law and the facts. He has un. questionably acted in all cases on the advice of his constitutional advisers. But the President is noted in Wash. | ington not because he is personally honest, because that would be endured but because he has no tolcration for dishonesty in others. And that makes | the market for these libels

Phoennx, Jan. 13.--A special to tn ! Evening Enterprise this afternoon iron Washington, says:
 Never before was there more disgusted set of men than the Arizona delegation which called on the president this afternoon
 Roosevelt had appointed II o'clock al the hour for the interview. but he kept the delegation waiting two hours and then gave them one minute of his valuable time He professed to be delighted to see theml but his smile was forced. He never made the slightest reference to statehood od questioned the delegation about territorial affairs.
 Delegate Smith had previously sent word that a delegation was in Washing ton to fight the statehood bill. SO the Arctic reception was premeditated by the president.
