The dear old Capital can't get over
ito dislike for Calderhead. 1t has the
railroad craze so bad that 1t is moi
able to reason intelligently upon the
subject. After having attention
called to its garbled report Of the CON
CHEESEMAN'S speech, it has steadily re-
fused to do him justice by publishing
what he really did say. Some day it
is hoped the Capital will return to
sausr moments and see things with

address to the members Of the Army

Army and Navy Union win place
flowers upon the graves Of the soldier
dead who are buried in the old mill
tary cemetery, and invited the FRESH
dent to speak to them.
1.-THE President has decided TO-
speak upon the same subject upon,
which be addressed the Gridiron,
banq ueters at Speaker Cannon'sl
dinner three weeks ago-"The Man
With the Muck Rake" All readers OF
"Pilgrims Progress" will remember
the character who preferred to rake
filth and scandal around him to
opening his eyes and seeing the
beauties Of life.
President Roosevelt will take this
character and compare him with the
modern graft "discoverer," the
writer's who never see anything but
rascslity and thievine. without MOTTO
Jog the honest, upright and noble
,pecimens Of manhood.
1.-THE president believes that the
lime has come to put q stop to the
rowing criticism that government
,fiicIals and other men in positions Of
rust and confidence are grafters.
These thoughts were SO strongly pre-
ented at Speaker CaDnon's banquet

venezueia, put the generar opinion
seems to be that his retirement is
only temporary. General Castro has
gone one way, as private citizen,
unattended and paying the regular
fare on the railroad, his wife has
gone another way and the former
presidents sister arrived here Mon
day.
The resignation Of the Venezuelan
cabinet is also causing speculation.
The ministers retired when Castro
gave up the reins of power. but Conner
has not appointed new cabinet and
therefore the old ministers have re-
tanned the portfolios.
On the other hand, Castro's fol-
lowers are scattering, leaving the capt.
tai in different ways. At Caracas the
political atmosphere has completely
changed, as is apparent on all coun-
tenances.
The opinions expressed here, the
nearest point 70 Venezuela, are equal
ly conflicting. The venezuelans, as
a rule are reticent when questioned
on the subject They generally say
that Castro Is sick and hesitate to give
their opinion Of his retirement from
the presidency

WHITE o1rK's GREAT SHOWS
Mile. serema's "spOrts From the Far
East"-"Dfxie Plantation.

EuSTS-NDlA1G
The White City has a great and novel
free outdoor attraction in Mile Luba
De serema's Sports from the Far
East" 1t is really impossible to do it
justice in a few words, but it is GER
tainly an act that is worthy Of the
highest praise. Besides perfectly
trained mountain bull from the wilds of
the Caucasian mountains she has q re-
markable collection Of educated dogs
and ponies, besides a dancing horse
and the funniest of trick mules, A
standing reward is offered to anyone
who will ride this mule. Last night
four men tackled him at once, but not
one was able to stay a moment on his
back. This part Of the performance
furnishes more fun than a barrel of
monkeys" The only ponies in the world
riding at lightning speed on revolving
tables is an act that brings rounds of
plaudits from the crowds. Several dogs
also do this same stunt which put
ting it mildly is remarkable. 1t is claim
ed by Mile. Serena that no man, wom-
an or child has yet been able to ride
upon these tables and she offers $10O re-
ward to anyone that can, Yesterday
more than a dozen tried it but failed.
Another interesting feature of the show
is the dog that turns somersaults from
height Of five feet being the only dog
known to be doing this trick.
The Dixie Plantation arrived direct
from Virginia yesterday Here is some
thing that New Haven people have not
seen before. AN exact representation is
given of southern scenes before the
war. The company numbers more than
forty people and includes creoles. pick
aninnies, dancers, singers, cotton pick
ers, plantation parson, mandolin and
guitar players, the bad men with the
razor and many others known to read
ers and lovers of southern history and
"darky life" The first production last
night stamped the whole affair a grand
success and the public can bear in
mind that it is a treat that they can
not afford to miss If they wish to have
all their nerves Jingle with wholesome
delight
The Merry Makers" opened a weeks
engagement at the Savin Rock tfeater
yesterday. They give a performance,
rich In all that goes to make up a good
vaudeville show
