Court Provision in Meat Bill.

Stockgrower Wadsworth is no long, CT persona grata at the White House, and Congressman Adams of Wisconsin is the new intermediary. He is en- deavoring to patch up a compromise acceptable to the White House and to the packers. The chief hitch is found in the court review feature that Chairman Wadsworth devised. We give the appeal section of the Wads- worth bill in full, as follows:
 ''That any inspection of cattle. sheep, swine or goats, the meat and meat food products thereof directed to be made in this act, shall be subject to appeal from the decision of the inspector making such Inspections to the chief inspector in charge located at such establishment in which such inspection so complained of is made, and from the decision of said chief inspector in charge an appeal shall lie to the chief inspector in charge in that locality, and from his decision an appeal shall lie directly to the chief of the bu- reau of animal industry of the depart ment of agriculture at Washington:

DAVID HARUM
Of the White House Is Secretary Loeb,
 Who Trades Horses.

Washington Cor New York World.
 The President was takllng about the miserable White House stable which is built on low ground behind the White House, is antiquated and so damp that the horses kept in it are affected. He said that the condition of the stable is so bad that he does not keep his own riding horses there at all, but boards them at a private stable
 You see," said the resident, the place Is damp and unhealthy. My horse. Wyoming, caught cold there and died. The stable has bad effect on every horse kept there. They all get the heaves. Every horse there but one has the heaves every horse but one.' almost shouted the President. Think of that!'
 How many horses are there in the stable, Mir. President" somebody asked.
 Why, I don't know, but I'll find out, and the President punched a button for Secretary Loeb.
 .Ioeb' he said, as the secretary came in, how many horses are there in the stable now?'
 Twelve" said Loeb, explaining that two of them are work horses and two some other kind, and going through the list.
 How many of them have the heaves@' continued the President
 "One has the heaves," Loeb replied.
 Why, Loeb" said the President. 'l have been telling these men that every horse there but one has the heaves, and now you come in here and say only one of them has the heaves. How do you ex- ploin that?'
 But, MT. President" said the thrifty Loeb. 'I traded off all those with the heaves for healthy ones"
 well" he said, q guess after this no- body can say this administration is not run on business principles"

LOSES HER SHOE.
Cinderella Drops 1t Of as She Gets
 Aboard Car.
u York World.

From the New York World.
 Fresh from the country she looked as she ripped bithely aboard the uptown car at Sixth avenue and Forty-second street and dropped her travelling bag in front of her feet. She peeped demureiy out from under a sort of Maud Muller hat with a saucy fare-up in front and two big feathers stuck into 1t at a rakish angle. No one in the car could help looking at the tanned and freckled miss of 19, or thereabouts.
 The car bolted forward just as the girl dropped Into her seat. At the same instant her feet and looked back with terrified eyes For a moment words seemed to have deserted her, and then:
 "Oh, I've lost my shoe!"
 Half dozen young men jumped to their feet and volunteered their services in restoring the vagrant footgear. The first to get a hearing gave the bell rope furious tug and then jumped off the car and ran back to Forty-second street. He was the Prince and she Cinderella as he handed back to her the daintiest It- tie gun-metaI pump imaginable. with a cute little bow of ribbon on the toe.
 "Oh, thank you so much!' murmured Cinderella, as she took the tiny shoe and started 1t in the direction of its late abode.
 Can I be of further service?' artfully asked the Prince.
 Dear me. no.' exclaimed Cinderella, and everybody on the car laughed.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN'S RISE
 IN WORLD OF POLITICS

nized in the convention to speak on the report of the committee on credentials which had reported against his delegation. He was short and slender with red hair and freclxled face but his voice was far reaching. The opening sentence of his speech was: MT. Chairman and gentle- men: am the man who stole Michfganp Good boy, Stevey! Go on!'' the crowd yelled and Stevenson proceeded to make one of the best speeches of the conven- tion
 The democratic senators who thought they could control the convention of 1896 were Vest and Cockrell of Missouri, Bate and Harris of Tennessee, Daniel of Vir- gfnfa, White of California, and TiI1man of South Carolina. Their candidate for the nomination for president was Sem ator Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado. who had bolted the republican convention at St. Louis ten days before, walking out of the hall with tears running down his cheeks. Teller was so confident of getting the nomination that he was in Chicago, staying at the Auditorium hotel ready to be called into the convention to make a speech of acceptance.
 Bryan received only 119 votes on the first ballot, but he had planted the seeds of stampede and hysteria by his crown of thorns and cross of gold speech and gained rapidly on the succeeding ballots. It is we'll known that Bryan was not the original maker of his nomination. winning epigram. The same phrase in substance had been used some years before in speech in Congress by Representative Mccall of Massachusetts. Bryan made the closing address in the debate on the platform and at the close he uttered in his most impressive style, the famous phrase: You shall not place upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not cruelty mankind upon cross of gold" For thirty-six minutes fol- lowing the close of his speech the conven- tion was a bowling mob. If the inmates of 100 mad houses had been let loose in a hall that seated 1S,OO0 persons they would have appeared sane and orderly in com- parison with the national convention that nominated William J. Bryan for president in 1886.
 From the beginning to the end of his first campaign MT. Bryan never had . serious doubt of his election. Men who travelled with him on all his speaking tours said that his confidence in him. self and his cause never wavered. But in his second campaign he had learned to make a more careful estimate of political conditions and to take yelling crowds at something like their real voting value. The day before the election of 1900 MT. Bryan sent a telegram to -Gumshoe Bill Stone, who was in charge of the eastern headquarters in New York, saying that he would be defeated. After reading the telegram Gumshoe Bill closed the head quarters and went to a vaudeville show.

Magruder general agent of the Fort Worth and Denver City ant the Colorado and, Southern railways in New Orleans, and l am sure that the people of New Orleans will condemn the a.tion of Mana ger Frank if it turns out that the ball was really full of rubber
 We all want fair play h the national game. and New Orleans fms are no ex- eeption to the rule. They want Manager Frank to fight for every point. but they do not want him to take uiderhanded ad- vantage of the other teams.

NE1HERsoLE AssrEMioUs.

Olga Nethersole was last week elected one of the vice presidents of the London Vegetarian association for 19o6-07. which is an institution designed for the pro- motion of the use of vegetable food stuffs and cereals in place of flesh. About two years ago the actress was advised to adopt partial abstention from the use of a meat diet and finding the lighter form of food was agreeable to her gener- al health she finally gave meat up alto gether and became an enthusiastic vege- tartan. To her present food regime Miss Nethersole ascribes the wonderful inn provement in health and vitality that she now enjoys and that has enabled her to fulfill her recent particularly arduous and trying engagements with perfect equanimity and without any sense of weariness or fatigue. It is not generally known that Miss Olso Nethersole never touches alcohol. She has been a total abstainer all her life.

Manual Training Schools.

Isadore Newman. the well-known capitalist of New Orleans, has estab- lished a training school in that city. His donations to the school already foot up to s75,000. It is called the Isa- dore Newman Training School, and it was started and is conducted chiefly for the benefit of the children in an orphans home.
 Soon or late, birmingham will ap- preciate the need of a school in which manual training takes the place of classical learning. Something broader than the New Orleans school is need ed, something that measures up to the modern technical school, with which every city almost is equipped. This Is a task of the immediate future, and the sooner it Is started the sooner will the boys of this district be prepared for the work that will come to their hands as the years go on.
 The captains of industry in this district can be trusted to do their part, for they know the value of young men equipped by modern training for in- dustrial activities, but the entire dis trict will have to cooperate if the foundations for technical school of proper breadth and endowment are to be laid A general movement is need ed. Atlanta is engaged in procuring subscriptions for an exposition. It asks for $500,000 and 1t will probably secure that amount. Cannot this dis trict do as we'll when a technical school, instead of a temporary exposi- tion, is at stake? We have full faith that this district will yet do it's full duty toward it's boys and young men, because 1t will in that way be serv- ing itself. No better investment can here be made.

 lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Masters of All Good Workmen

 and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us. and
 only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and
 no one shall work for fame; But each for the joy of the working, and
 each. in his separate star. Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for
 the God of Things as They Are!

 On the porch of the Benson home on Sunday afternoon sat NJ Deasy, a pioneer grocer of Ottawa. who is incapacdtated by paralysis MT. Deasy seldom leaves his yard, but he walked painfully across the town to personally express his con- gratulations to Judge Benson.
 Its a splendid thing for the town and the state" he said in a broad, Irish brogue, that they've made such a man senator. I'm mostly a democrat having voted for only three republicans in my life I think; but when men like Judge Benson are chosen for office l say amen to the choice"
 Judge Benson is man Of small stat ure. He is not a man that one would pick out in crowd as of senatorial cali- bre A man who knows him we'll in talk ing of the future senator, said:
 ''If Benson were to walk through here with crowd of 1000 men, you would not pick him out. When he gets down to Washington some of those big fellows are going to take him for door-keeper or a clerk, or something but the first word he utters will disabuse them of the idea"
 The new senator Is a man of great learning but he has no personal mag netsm. He Is not a mixer When he came to Topeka he would walk into the lobby, pick out a chair in a corner, sit down and think or study the men who were passing before him. He is not the kind of man whom one would walk up to and slap on the back and say, Hello! Judge" When he was in the legislature here and during his visits to Topeka Judge Benson never mingled with the crowds in the lobby. He would never say a word to anyone unless he was spoken to, except when some close friend should meet him. He did not make friends readily.
