interest that attached to the charm
ing personality of the Presidents
daughter, it was indeed a truly impOs-
ing function Beside it the wedding
of Nellie Grant TO Algernon Sartoris
more than thirty years ago seems in
deed of little moment. The nation
was then just emerging from the
gloom of four years civil war. Times
were hard; foreign nations gave but
Bcant notice to a land that had just
BARELY preserved its unity and was
billions in debt.
But to-day all is changed. Another
President daughter is married. Kings
and potentates, senates and ruling as
semblageS OF all lands FASTENED to do
the bride honor and thereby to honor
her father and the great world power
over which he has been elected the
Chief Magistrate
A most notable company was pres.
ent. Every ruling sovereign was rep
resented in person. High officials
were there; gold lace tricked out
hundreds there, No American assem-
btage gathered together ever had the
eclat of this.
But for all that, there was The pure
~ romantic side. 1t is a love match
pure and simple. Young Mr.. Long
worth had to plead his suit very dill
gently. There were plenty of others
who might have aspired: many of
them far richer than this young Con-
gresham from Cincinnati. But it was
not match for money. The Long.
wOrthS are well,tO-dO, but there are
thousands OF richer persons in the
land The Roosevelts are comfort
ably fixed, but by no amount of figur-
ing could any of the Presidents FAM
ely be made out as any way approach
ing a fortune of million. Miss Alice
has an income herself of $4,000 year
from her mothers estate.
Young Mr.. Longworth first met Miss
Roosevelt when he came to Washing
ton to serve his first term as Con-
gresham, little over two years ago.
They were thrown together almost
from the first, and though gossip men,
toned a possible engagement months
ago, nothing was made public until
last December. when the President
made formal announcement of the be-
trothal.

FAVORs BANKERS PLAN
SECRETARY SHAW ON CUxRENcy
REFoRM LEGISLATION.

So many statements have been made a.
to the attitude Of Secretary Shaw on cur
rency legislation that he today concluded to
clear some of them up by making the fol-
lowing statement:
In his previous reports he has recon-
mended currency legislation, but has never
recommended any particular plans to the
exclusion OF others He has been much
gratif1ed at the attention given the subject
by chambers of commerce, by bankers as
sociations and by committees appointed by
each. He has remained in the cabinet
largely in the hope of securing some legis-
lation on the subject but he has not and
will not recommend details OF legislation.
THAT is the province of Congress, under
such advice as it may deem wise to invite
or to which It may have the opportunity
of listening. The Secretary win be pleased
beyond measure II Congress will adopt
every detail of the plan recommended by
the recent committee OF bankers and BUSH
ness men He thinks Congress win have
no difficulty in working out plan thereby
satisfactory to all, though In detail meeting
man. whenever it decides to legislate on
the subject.
when Congress decided to pass tariff
law the Dingley bill was promptly put on
the statute books. When 1t decided to en-
act a gold standard measure the act of
March IA. 1900, was the quick result. When
1t decided to- pass a rate bill no unnecessary
delay ensued. If 1t shall undertake to add
an elastic feature to our present currency
system the Secretary has no doubt Of ia
vorable results In short order. That such
legislation is imperative he thinks recent
treasury experiences make apparent.
In his report he will strongly urge that
something be done. and may suggest sew
eral methods for the consideration of Con-
gress
1.-THE Secretary Of the Treasury, being
God o,,1x 4
ministering his department under the law
as it exists, and of making reports to Con-
gress. will not assume the responsibility IN
volved in recommending the details of
needed legislation. The subject matter and
the end necessary to be attained he will
fully discuss

SUBMITTED FOR ANALYSIS.
Booze" Candy Subject of a Rigid
Investigation.

Several samples Of the booze drops'
which are said to contain spirituous LIQUORS
and which storekeepers in the vicinity OF
the Central High School. It is alleged, have
been selling to the pupils of that school.
were forwarded to DR.. Woodward tho
health officer, today for a chemical analysis
DIR. Woodward was unable to make the
analysis because the samples were not suf-
ncient in number. He contends that to
properly analyze these alcoholic confec-
tons 1t will be necessary for him to have
at least pound of them at his disposal.
However. he expects to have a sufficient
quantity Monday.
The booze drops" which have called for
SO much protest from parents of school
children and which have stirred the Com
mlssioners into effectlng a rigid investiga-
uon, are innocent enough in outward ap-
pearance They are chocolate-coated and
resemble the ordinary round Chocolate
drop, out inside, instead of the usual
sugar. there is liquid which is claimed
TO contain concoction of rum and whisky
rms Is for the health officer to determine.
When II was my duty about four wears
ago, to analyze a similar candy known as
the booze Drop" said DR.. Woodward to-
day, II found that the liquid inside only
contained about fifty one-hundredths OF one
per cent alcohol, and as far as any in
furious effects were concerned believe the
ordinary candy would be as Injurious a.
