HIS ENEMY WRITES A BOOK
So Mr.. Roosevelt May Get His Revenge
on Mr.. Odell.

President Roosevelt, it is alleged, is
about to enjoy that supreme revenge
flor which a ruler in Israel prayed SO
lfervently-his enemy has written a
book. 1t is questionable, however,
whether times have not changed and
Imen changed with them since this
was estimated as the best possible way
Iof getting even with an adversary.
III it is true that the Hon. B. B. Odell
has confided to manuscript or print
the innermost secrets of his political
dealing with the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt there is at least some like
iiihood that the latter will not be con-
Ivulsed with joy because of hat fact.
Yet this is the most recent rumor
that the partisan fight in New York
has TO offer to public attention. 1t is
taileged that the author of this preg-
Inant volume has recounted with detail
land circumstance the joint political
activities of the President and him
self from the days when Mr.. Roosevelt
Iwas governor of New York down to
the present time. And friends of
Governor Odell are asserting
that he has made a record of duplici-
lty, trading and treachery that would,
lshould it ever be accorded general
publicity, result in a political catac-
lysm not only in the State of New
York, but in the country at large two
years hence.
It is not to be forgotten, Of course.
THAT former Governor Odell is a very
angry man; nor should the fact be lost
Isight of that by the anne token he
lis a desperate one. His followers have
risen in revolt against him. He be-
Iieves the insurgents are being led by
president Roosevelt. He knows he has
Ito fight for his own political life
against enemies from whom he can
expect no quarter. If he is to win
The must win with the sword; if he
Hoses he knows well enough that he
Twill perish by the sword.
In these circumstances it is not be-
lyond the bounds of reason that he
may have adopted a desperate eX-
lpedient. That he has secrets to tell
THAT would down any man in popular
destination goes without the saying.
HE has been the utterly INSCRIPTIONS
boss of an utterly INSCRIPTIONS party.
Associated with him in establishing
and maintaining his boss-ship have
been the highest and the 1owest-the
statesman and the heller. Should he
lreally turn on the light, there is no
what the charnel house he
may contain. And this is what
he is alleged to have done; and this
lis why it is questioned whether there
will be any sounds of revelry by night
in the White House at Washington
because the enemy of it's occupant has
written a book. Possibly there ale
many better things than that which
|could happen to this, or any other en-
|emy, he may happen to have.-Char-
leston News and Courier.

: lJominie Who Failed
To Follow the Rule

Z GOOD story is told of a young
a Clergyman in the suburbs who
was recently married and who
was properly punished for trying TO
make q 'front.' before his bride.
1t is a we'll known rule among clergy
men not TO take a fee from a fellow
dominic for marrying him. The gener-
81 custom is. however. for the best man
to go through the usual form and pre-
sent the officiating clergyman with an
envelope containing the fee. The min
lister then pays d graceful compliment
to the bride and presents the envelope
to her. Aware of this CUSTOM. the
young minister thought he would make
a big showing before his bride and
place. $1G0 in the envelope. smiling in
anticipation of her surprise when she
should cpen it and see what her lover
was wiling to pay for being united TO
her.
The young mans CONSERVATION can
be imagined when the Other clergyman
calmly poc;eted the envelope and made
no movement to return it The oficiat-
ing minister had heard glowing reports
of the rich bride his young friend was
getting and decided that the fee would
do him more good than the newly mar
ried couple and therefore for once de-
parted from the usual rule. The BRIDE
groom is still sore about the 500, but
the joke was too good for the best man
to keep to himself.-Philadeiphia Rec

NO AGREEMENT
ON MINING
SCALE
Operators and Miners as Far from
Basis of Settlement as Ever.
Wage Scale Expires Saturday.
BY Associated Press

Indianapolis, Mar. 27.-The Joint
Scale Committee of the bituminous
operators of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania to-day re-
ported a disagreement TO the joint
conference of the central competitive
district and after a session of three
hours the conference adjourned to
meet tomorrow morning.
The discussion and arguments pre-
scented during the afternoon by the
miners and operators showed no
change whatever and established the
fact that so far as indications can de-
termine the opposing sides are no
nearer a wage agreement than when
the first conference was held.
The present wage scale expires
Saturday and unless an agreement is
reached before the expiration two
hundred and twenty-five thousand
miners in four states will be called
from the mines.

EAST COAST CANAL
NEARING COMPLETION

Only three miles now separate the
East Coast Canal dredges, and this
last chunk Of earth dividing them IS
daily decreasing in length, says the
g. Augustine Record. It looks now
as If the canal company will completes
the cut within another year, perhaps
before the expiration Of the present
wear. Twelve months ago seven miles
of solid earth divided the dredges, and
over half the distance has been ira
versed by the boats within one year.
At the rate Of progress made within
the past year, next winter should see
the completion Of the canal TO this
point.
It is the intention Of the canal com
pany to continue the work without
eession until the canal stretches the
full proposed length AS soon as the
dredges meet here then will start TO
work on the Jacksonville stretch.
The same plan will be followed there
as on the present cut One dredgs
will work at each end Of the divide,
and operations will be pushed viii al

COUNCIL
WILL MEET
TONIGHT
Veto of Mayor for Purchase Of
Water Works and GingIsS Mat
ter May Come Up.

An important, and what will pre-
haps prove most interesting meet
ing of the City Council will be held
tonight. The session is a regular
one. as the council now meets twice
each month.
Among the matters Of more than
passing interest which will come up
for consideration will be the veto Of
the mayor on the resolution passed a
month since to notify the water
works company that the city intend
ed taking over the plant. This mat
ter is in. shape to be voted upon at
this meeting AS there are a number
of councilmen in favor of purchasing
the plant it is more than probable
that some will cast their votes in IA
vOr of passing it over the mayors
veto, should it come to a vote. The
matter at present is in the hands Of
the Board of Bond Trustees, who
sent a letter to the council at it's last
meeting asking that no steps be
taken at that session towards pur-
chasing the plant. 1t is supposed
that this board will submit a report
upon the question tonight.
Another matter which may be
threshed out is the dismissal of c.
H Gingles as street superintendent.
Some of the aldermen are not favor
ably impressed with the manner in
which the Board of Works carried
out the instructions of the council to
discharge Long and reinstate Gin
giles. While the board complied with
the resolution. it was accomplished
in such manner that the resolution
was Obeyed literally but not in spirit.
Gingles was reinstated as per in
structions. but he was fired imme-
diately. thus showing that the board
is determined to employ and dis
charge whom. it pleases. IF this mat
i4r is taken up by the council to-
night it is more than likely that the
session will be an exceptionally inter
esting one.
