A Family Affair

A DAM CORDlFF. OF a small town IN Ohio,
n tells his own story:

delphia. My parents died before l was ten
wears of age. 4 mere slip of boy, was taken

where | found work with an extensive peach
grower named Cole l remained with Cole sew
eral wears and fell in love with his daughter
a girl about nv age, and married her. When
nv employer found 1t out | was turned adrIft.
| met my wife in secret, and We had long
conversation about our predicament. Finally
we decided, in order to avoid more trouble,
that it would be best for me to leave. l was
to seek home elsewhere and then send for her
Il came to Ohio, wrote to her at frequent
intervals, but never received a reply At the
end of a year | learned through friends that
nv father in law had committed suicide and
soon afterward came news that my wife had
died broken hearted, my letters having been
intercepted, leaving a baby daughter. The
child had been taken by a distant relative.
Il at once made a trip to New Jersey and
Baltimore; but, owing to lack OF means, failed
to locate the child. HeartsOre and diScOur-
aged, | came back TO Ohio, where | have since
lived. Awhile ago received copy OF a matrI-
monial paper published in Boston, which con-
tanned the description of young woman lIv-

day before the date set for our marriage We

Two Remarkable Falls

uERE are the accounts OF two falls that
IL would Jar even the readers OF the penny
dreadfuls, and the newspapers OF New York
city frequently chronicle accidents Just as
remarkable.
The first was experienced by little four
No 37o East 35th-st.. New York city Her
mother threw the bed pillows over the WIN

of them to see her plavmates in the yard. The
pillow slid off the sill, and the child went with

tie pillow as a buffer. She was unhurt-
The second was that of Sophie Kennedy. of

in a baby carriage that happened TO be stand
ing directly under the fire escape. There was
baby in the carriage; but aside from soaring
the little one and dumping him out on the
ground, Sophie's fall resulted in injury
The carriage springs and the baby's bedding
saved her life.

Couldn't Dodge the Messages

WTHEN Alice Atherton. the actress. died in
w New York. her husband. Willie Edouin
was playing at the Prince of Wales Theater in
London. Thoughtful friends in New York
deemed it best To notify Edouin through a
third person of his wife'S demise and to pre-
pare him for the full shock of her end by sending
first cable announcing that she was seriously
i'll The cable was sent TO one of Edouin 5
friends at his club.
The actor had not been to his club in sew
eral weeks; but by chance dropped in there
the very evening of the arrival Of the first
Cablegram. His friend. to whom the cable
was addressed, CHANGED to be in the country,
and Edoun volunteered TO open it and tel
egraph its contents to him.
The second message announcing in plain
language that his wife was dead was addressed
to Edouin's family He had not been home in
several days previously. but had promised to
dine that evening with his family. Hurrving
from the club with the announcement of his
wife's illness, he reached the door of his fathers
house Just as the messenger boy with the second
cablegram IN his hand came up the steps.

THE LAW OF
COINCIDENCE

TTERE are a few duly authenticated cases
III of strange coincidence:
Louis Frankowitch, according to the
Buffalo papers, came from another city, and
obtained work before sending for his wife and
son. In writing them to follow him, he failed to
give them the address of his boarding house
He was late at the railway station, and missed
them when they arrived. The wife and son
eventually found a room for the night IN a
boarding house on Niagara-st. Meanwhile the
husband searched for his family half the night,
and then went to his room. Early in the
morning he rose to continue his search and
about the same time his wife rose for the pur-
pose of looking for him. At the moment Mrs
FrankOwitch opened the door of her room, the
door of the room on the opposite side of the
hall opened, and her husband emerged.

tried Systematically to discredit it
the Monroe doctrine in the eyes of
the world both in Europe and in
South America. She has limited to
all of the smaller South American
states that the United States was
only waiting an opportunity to COB
BILE them politically and that Brazil
was all ready for revolt against the
Monroe doctrine and was only kept
in line by force. Naturally all of this
was untrue and it is thought that if
Brazil can be induced to quietly ar
range an entente with this country,
that has for its basis the formal rec
ognition of the Monroe doctrine, it
will be a great moral support to the
weaker sisters among the Southern
states. One thing is certain, that if
such an agreement is to be made, the
Secretary of State is the man to do it
and another thing is equally certain,
that while there were so many things
requiring his attention at home, he
would not be going to South America

The Editor Who -Dassent ;.


A whole lot of people seem to i'm
agine that the editor keeps certain
things out of the paper just because
he 'dassent' publish anything that
concerns certain people. Mistake
No editor with backbone. and there
are quite a few with much more back
bone than people give them credit
for, will keep things out of his paper
because he 'daSsent' publish them.
No ties or race. creed, color, kinShip
or business will prevent the average
sensible editor from publishing the
news. No club that any church, lodge,
clique or business interest may
threaten to swing over him will keep
him from publishing legitimate news
if he is any man at all. But there are
a few things that the average man
does not consider when he is figuring
out what, or more correctly, what
not to put In his paper. Among those
things are the innocent little children
of the brutal husband, who merciless-
ly beats his inoffensive wife, or the
faithless wife who openly and brazen-
ly violates her marriage vows and ex-
III
of the community. The rescal who
practices dishonesty beats his credit
ors with impunity and otherwise con-
ducts himself in manner that de-
serves criticism In the press, is often
shielded FROM exposure because he
has an aged, honorable father and
good christian mother living In the
community, who would read the
truth should it be told about their
son. And why should newspaper
humiliate that young girl or her man
ly young brother by publishing the
truth about their disreputable father,
merely to punish the old man? A
thousand thoughts flash through a
sensible editors head before he allows
anything of the kind to be published
in his columns. He seeks to give the
news as plainly and truthfuily as pos
sible. He also shields many a home
that the gossips of the town would
gladly ruin; he often keeps quiet
when the world wonders, why he does,
but never play him as a man who
'dassent.' If you do he is likely to
demonstrate very forcibly that he

that does not originate with them

outsiders when that assistance should

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent

(FrOm our Regular COffoSpoHuehbJ
WASHINGTON, d. G., Mar. "A, 1906
Senator Tillman says the debate on
the rate bill will last six weeks more
and that the Hepburn bill VIII be
materially amended before it passes
the senate. Senator Dolliver says
that the bill will be passed without
amendment and the debate will not
last more than a week or ten days
longer. Anyone who is interested
can draw their own deductions from
these diverse views. At the rate the
debate is now progressing and from
the number of senators who still want
to speak, it looks as though Senator
Tillman's forecast would be nearly
correct. Of course it is impossible to
foretell what will happen to the rate
bill and the friends of the railroads
are trying hard to put some loop-hole
in it that will render the proposed
legislation of no effect. But it can
be said that if the bill goes to the
White House in such shape as to not
meet with the Presidents approval,
he will veto it as surely as he can sign
his own name and will call an extra
session to thresh out the whole mat
ter again. But it is hardly to be sup
posed that even the enemies of fair
legislation will go to such lengths and
there is always in the background the
fear as Senator Tillman bluntly put
it when he said that if the present
congress could not turn out fair
rate regulation bill, the people would
composed of men who were differently
minded.
The Statehood bill has gone TO con-
ference. There was strong show of
resistance to submitting 1T to confer
ence at all, but not it is out of the
way for the time being and it remains
to be seen whether the house in the
end will have the temerity to defy the
senate and the obvious wishes of the
people of Arizona and probably the
majority in New Mexico.

Everything has been Professionally
arranged for Secretary Roots trip to
Rio Janerio in July. Nominally he is
to be present at the Pan American
conference. But in reality it is I'M
derStood that he will be charged with
a mission to the Brazilian govern
ment for the establishing of what
amounts to an international alliance
with respect to the Monroe doctrine.
This was the matter on which Judge
Penfield was sent to Brazil last sum-
mer. He looked over the ground and
declared that conditions were ripe for
such a move. He was an official in
whose judgment the President repos-
ed great confidence, and his report
was that not only would Brazil vel
come such an agreement but that
European politics were so moving
as to make it most desirable It has
been known that ever since the over
throw of the empire in Brazil that
Germany has been colonizing the
country as well as she could and not
only in Brazil but in most of the other
South American countries she has
been establishing a commercial foot
hold that is almost as important as a
political foothold would be. She has

of extending the courtesy of his pres

All the talk that has been made
about the imminence of an outbreak
in China and the necessity of imme
diately sending warships and emer-
gency troops to the far east, seems to
be dying down. Reports have reach
ed the State department that the
anti-foreign feeling is dying down and
that the boycott is apt to fall by its
own weight. The Navy department
has withdrawn the battleships that 1t
had sent to north China waters and
the bulk of the American fleet is now
at Shanghai and southwark. The
agents of the State department are

This government is making more
effort than ever to push American
trade abroad and the latest move has
been a bill introduced by Senator
Overman to create a Presidential
commission to study the needs of the
cotton trade in the far east. This
plan has been presented to the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor who APP
proved it in its intent but suggested
that as the department already had
the organization completed for such
work it was useless to go to the ex-
pense of equipping special ccmmis-
sion. Consequently some cotton ex-
perts may be sent to the far east to
study market conditions. and there
have been arrangements made to send
to all of the great milling centers sam
piles of the clothes and designs most
in demand in the eastern market.
These exhibits are already being pre-
pared by the department and will be
sent out to the milling centers in this
country as rapidly as possible
