ROOSEVELT NEVER IDLE.

President Roosevelt makes every
ne is being shaved. \ deft-fingered
negro brings in towel. soap and razors,
and waits quietly until the president
is ready. The president comes in from
his office, takes off his glasses and
seats himself in a chair Very fire.
quently some cabinet officer or favor
ed new spaper correspondent Is shown
in during the process, or asked to
stay before it has begun.
Secretary Loeb may come in from
the adjoining room with a fountain
pen and a document for the president
to sign. For moment the shaving
is suspended and the president, un-
disturbed by lather, leans forward to
affA his name.
The story is told in Washington of
a governor of one of our insular pos
sessions who, several times, went to
the White House to explain a certain
complicated matter, and each time he
was prevented from so doing because
the president monopolized the con-
| versa tion.
Finally the governor happened to
arrive one day just at the time the
president was being shaved. The gov
ernor was shown right in, and az soon
as the manipulations of the razor
gave a momentary opening he seized
| it and never let go until he had ex-
planned his whole case.-The Argo-
naut.

THE SOLACE.

Love made himself a garden
OF flowers his fancy chose
The lily and the Iarkspur.
The poppy and the rose.
But when each fragrant beauty
Had blossomed for a day,
Time took the withered petals
And flung them far away.
'The summer passed, and lonely
Where once their perfume crept,
Within his empty garden
Love laid him down and slept.
Then, In the drowsy silence,
Another blossom grew,
And budded into sweetness
'Twixt darkness and the dew.
And Love awoke and marveled
In glad surprise, to see
Held fast within his Keeping
a sprig of rosemary!

THE SAILORS CONSOLATION

one night came on a hurricane,
The sea was mountains rolling,
Vixen Barney Buntline turned his
quid,
And said to Billy Bowline:
"a strong nor-wester's blowing, Bill:
Hark, don't you hear it roar now?
Lord help 'em. how l pities all
Unhappy folks on shore now!
"Foolhardy chaps who live in town,
What danger they are all in,
And now are quaking in their beds,
For fear the roof should fall in;
Poor creatures. how they envies us,
And wishes, I've notion,
For our gool luck in such a storm,
To be upon the ocean.
"But as for them who're out all day
on business from their houses,
And late at night are coming home
To cheer the babes and spouses;
While you and I, Bill, on the deck,
Are comfortably lying,
My eyes what tiles and chimney-po
About their heads are flying!
"And very often have we heard
How men are killed and undone,
BY ovcrturns of carriages,
BY thieves and fires in London.
We know what risks all landsmeT
run
From noblemen to tailors;
Then, Bill let us thank Providence
That YOU and | are sailors,"
William Pitt.

MY LIONESS.

one night we were together. you and
I,
And had unsown Assyria for a lair
Before the walls of Babylon rose in
air.
Low, languid hills We're heaped
against the sky,
And white bones marked the walls OF
akali,
When suddenly down the lion path
a sound,
The wild n-odor-then a crouch
a bound,
And the frail thing fell quivering with
cry.
Your yellow eyes burned beautiful
with light;
The dead man lay there open-eyet
and white;
roared one triumph over the des
ert wide,
Then stretched out, glad of tn,
sands and satisfied
And through the long, star-stilleC
Assyrian night,
felt your body breathing by m.
side.

SEVERAL SEEK TO
 WEAR ALGER'S ToGA

WASHINGTON, April 11.-There will be no dearth of candidates for the seat in the Senate now occupied by General Russell A. Alge-. There is already enc. and there may be more among the members of the House del esGtion from Michigan. The son of the late Senator McMillan also will be in the field. Representative Will liam Alden Smith today announced his candidacy.
 Although have frequently re- ceived fiatterins promises Of support from various parts Of the state I have never permitted myself to enter the race for the Senate" he said, ''but Iow that the announcement comes from Detroit that General Alger, be- cause of i'll health, will not again be q candidate, I have decided to enter the list. I am strongly in favor Of the people of the state selecting their ranged to have the various candidates for the place voted upon at the pri- mary to be held in June"
 Fsiends of R.eTt esJ1tatiye Smith think he will receive the support of Senator AIgeT. General Algcr ac- ceDTsd a seat ia the Senate as vim GicatiCn because of the shadow under which he retired from the cabinet, but his health has been poor for months.

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

The North American Review has
 .aker up, in it's learned and heavy
 way, the question, Whom will the democratic party nominate?" And in
 asmuch as the editor of the Review
 is also editor of Harper's Weekly, the
 answer is the same in both magazines
 With Mir. Harvey, "all roads lead to
 Rome" and also to Prof. Woodrow
 Wilson, formerly of Virginia, now of
 Princeton, as the only and best pos sible candidate, says the Herald.
 But MT. Harvey is making a fatal
 mistake in not observing that the next
 nominee of both the old political par ties must-no matter what else he epresents-stan5 out luminously in
 opposition to corporate power and pub
 lie graft. This is the trend of thougat
 on the part of a vast majority of the
 people, democrats and republicans alike, and the candidates of both par. ties must measure up to it. MT. Wood roy Wilson, no one doubts, is opposed
 to public graft. So is every other hon est man. There IS no partisan princi. pie involved in that. But how about his position on the other and perhaps more urgently important question of corporate power and vested rlghts?'' Gr. Wilson is no doubt a conservative man. We take that for granted, CT else he would hardly hold the position he does or have the support of liar per's Weekly and tbe North American Review. And it is just as Henry Wat
 terson recently said of the unidentified ever else he may be, he will not be a conservative"
 Look as we may over the present somewhat barren field of possibilities we find no one as yet large enough to contest for the first place with Wil- liam Jennings Bryan. Such an one may eventually develop, since the oc- cas!on usually brings the man, but | he is not yet visible to the naked eye. !
 Turning to the republican party, we find not a single person who can real | ly be said to be presidential or cam | paign timber. The republicans as a | rule are quite conscious of the fact | that they, too, must nominate a con servative. They must not put up one l who is tainted with corporation inter | ests CT influence. And under that, to ] them, painful necessity, the names of Taft, Root, Knox and Fairbanks are barred. Who remains? Certainly not | Roosevelt. He is out with his party ! leaders, and the people are even begin ming to suspect him of trimming. Be sides, tradition would not permit l third term nomination, even though, | as a matter of fact, one of those terms | was not elective
 Now they say that Gov Cummins, of Iowa, never was a real republican, but l that is rather a sweeping charge whes you stop to consider how many differ i ent brands of the genuine are on the market nowadays.

COCOANUTS VIA THE SOUND.
Little Schooner After Too Much Hatteras
Glad Of Q LandlOeketi Sea.

From Baracoa, Cuba, which was a thriv-
ing European settlement 100 years before
Henry Hudson dropped anchor h~ereabouts
in the Half Moon, there came yesterday
by the unusual route Of the Sound the i'm
macrllate little three masted Nova Scotian
schooner Hibernia. with a cargo of o 5000
oocoanuts. She could sail all around the
Half Moon il that ancient craft we're still
afoat, but still she took thirty days to
cover the tumultuous sea space between
Baracoa and Sandy Hook. In ordinary
weather she gets here in about fifteen days.
Although her owners are Irish and her
skipper's name is McDade, there ia not
a speck of emerald aboard her and she did
not ship a green sea in all her hard fight
for port.
She was within 100 miles Of Hatteras on
March Q. slipping like a wrath through
rufied seas, with all sail set, and the WING
on the quarter, when a squall rushed out
Of the southeast and swatted her. She
heeled hea Willy to starboard until the dead
ewes of her rigging we've under and her
BELIEVING ~foresail gave way, splitting down
the middle, The ~force'of the blast against
the canvas cracked the fore gaf several
feet from the end and when the chip got

peak halyards were let go and the gan
came down on the run. Meanwhile the
f~orestaysail had been torn TO tatters and
the flying lib ripped from the bolt ropes
and sent flying to leeward.
1t did not take long to Gle ar away the
little ~wreckage that was left aboard, and
the Hihernia then stood on her course
with her ~foresail out of commission. She
did not need it much thereafter, anyhow,
as she found nothing but foul weather,
mostly dead ahead, the rest Of the trip.
For more than a week che was held north
of Hatteras bucking seas and gales. A
bowler from southwest forced her to turn
tail and run, mostly under bare poles, far
to the northeast. Finally favoring winds
enabled Capt. McDade to make. the neigh
borhood Of Montauk Point. Then he de-
cided to take no more risks with March
blasts and to come into New York by. way
of the comparatively quiescent Sound.
The marine observer at City Island was
somewhat surprised to learn that the HI
hernia had a cargo Of cocoannts and thought
at first that Capt. McDade was ,ioshlng;
When the skipper said that weather had
forced him far out of his course the OBJ
server recalled that he had heard of other
cases Of tropical cargoes coming in by way
of the Sound. The Hibernia has all bull,
warks, plenty of freeboard and a careful
skipper, and that is why. the mate said
Yesterday, her decks we're as dry as a bone,

MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR NIXON.
Lewis E.. Carr Delivers Eulogy in Honor
OF the Late Speaker.

A1.sASY, March ?7.-Memorial services
in honor of the late Samuel Frederick
Nixon, for seven years Speaker Of the As
sembly, were held in the Assembly Chamber
tonight.
The Chamber was beautifully decorated.
Many former members Of the Legislature
came to Albany to attend the services.
Speaker James W. Wadsworth, Jr., presided
and made the Introductory address The
eulogy was delivered by Lewis E. Carr Of
Albany. Mr.. Cars Grafton was a mastery
one. Some things he said Of the late
Speaker were
His many years Of public service will ever
tell Of one who earned and retained the con-
fdence and united regard Of his fellows, one
bv whom duties whether great or small we're
we'll performed and of whom kindly and
generous speech was ever uttered.
His was a frank and open nature. He had
clear conceptions OF his duty and how it should
be performed, Of his ability to meet the re-
auirements, of his place and Of the equality
of opportunity and right of his fellow men,
bers here. If he outstripped them in the
race it was because of his superior tact and
judgment, his keener appreciation of the
| things needed to be lone and how they might
be accomplished and his larger ability to
| rightly use and apply the means that came tc
his hands.
He was a kindlyman in his intercourse with
his fellows. His nature was sunny and he
walked in the sunshine, not the shadow, OF
life. His door, whatever place he held, was
at all times open. No barriers shut him in
no rule Of seclusion kept others out. His
presence was as free and open as his DISPOSE
ton and nature,
He was a nasterful man a real and acknowl-
edged leader of men. His control over this
body was supreme, yet it could not have beer
so had he lacked the qualities Of true leader
ship, His supremacy was not OF a day, bu'
for We ars.
"His time Of usefulness had not come to ar
end, nor had his years Of value run theil
course. He was but IS, the very prime o.
manhood life. Need remains for men like
him, strong. resolute and masterful cham
pions Of the State.

FINED CONDUCTORS VICTIM.
INSULTED COLUMBIA STUDENT
AT LAST HIT OUT.

Fare rendered in Cents Received With
Impudent Jeers Transfer Refused
Unless Passenger Picked Up Coin
-Ma-istrate Knew a Case in Point.
John Ryan, a student at Columbia Uni
vereity, living at 468 Lenox avenue. was
before Magistrate Crane in the Harlem
court yesterday on the charge Of assault
ing Thomas O'Brien, a conductor on the
Lenox ven surface car line.
Ryan said that he boarded a southbound
Lenox avenue electric car on Monday
night at 125th street. He had a IS bill and
five cents. He rendered the cents to
O'Brien for his fare. He said that the con-
ductor looked at him with a sheer and
asked him in an insulting manner if he
had been shooting craps
Ryan old him that the only money he
had besides the cents was a SIS bill, and
O'Brien said:
well the company don't furnish us
with a dishpan to collect fares"
Some of the cents dropped on the floor
Of the car, and Ryan said he wanted a
transfer. The conductor replied that he
would get a transfer if he picked up the
cents on the floor and handed them to
him. Ryan said that he could not r9ain
his patience any longer. and when the
car got to Hath street he struck O'Brien
and knocked him down.
Policeman Fox of the East l28th street
station, who was standing on the corner,
witnessed the assault and arrested Ryan.
O'Brien said that he did not see the cents
on the floor Of the car, and that Ryan
hit him without any provocation. He said
that Ryan took a transfer from him while
he was lying on the platform of the car
after he had knocked him down. The
Magistrate said:
Il am inclined to believe the story of
this young man, because my girl told me
of an incident that occurred on one of the
cars the other day which is quite similar.
She got on a car with a friend of hers and
she rendered the conductor ten cents.
He became insulting and told her that if
she ever got on his car again n gave
him pennies he would put her of the car.
This new rule about issuing transfers
might work in Injustice to passengers in many
cases. For insta nee, an old woman who
cannot see very we'll might get on a car
with only five cents in her pocket and, not
be compelled to walk a long distance"
The Magistrate said his wife witnessed
such a case not long ago.
James Parker, one of the lawyers who
that if he knew the man who had spoken
so to his girl he would see that the man
was punished.
TIC. Flaherty, the other lawyer, said that
the courts had ruled that the new order
regarding the issuing of transfers was not
unrea soma BILE. He said that the rule had
beer in force in Brooklyn for two years,
and in many other of the large cities in the
country. He said that it was possible it
might be an inconvenience in some cases.
Magistrate Crane said that any rule
that worked an injustice to the public
was not a good one, and that the company
should issue transfers at all points. He
told Ryan that he had no right to take
the law in his own hands by assaulting
the conductor. and he would fine him So.
He said he should have taken the conduc-
tors humber and then gone to court, where
he would get redress.
