full Of quirk and guip and outlet. and he's
standing in the drawing room OF his pa
latial Fifth avenue home, talking with his
wife and Gibsonish daughters, waiting for
the distinguished company Of guests to
arrive for the ball that's TO be given that
evening. while the muted music OF the
orchestra is heard playing in an ofYstage
anteroom.

in and hands the merry old white haired
waddler a telegram. The stage father

little chat with his wife and daughters

He's calling Town employees for the slightest
negligence or inattention. He watches the
food AZ il is served and he sends bach TO
the cook dishes that don't look just right
to him.
The new place 10 spotlessly, ostenta-
tiously, almost oppressively clean. The
floor is mopped a couple Of times a day.
The tablecioths are like little fields Of
virgin snow.
The napkins smell OF sweet laundering.

All of Galloway Went DRY"

All of Galloway went "dry" in
the local option election held
Saturday and Monday. The ma
ority given in the county, Satur-
day was 1888, the exact vote being
2,O99. "dry" and 1851. "wet".
The majority given in the town
Monday was 1859, the vote being
52S "dry" and 359 "wet". Much
to the surprise of everyone, the
majority in Fulton was larger
proportionly than the majority in
the county. Sixty -eight per cent
of the town vote was cast for local
option, while only sixsy-five per
cent of the county vote went that
way.-Fulton Gazette.

cAIRo's CURSE OF BLINDNESS.
Affliction Little Needed by the Fatal.
lists of the East.

The first thing that impresses the
stranger at Cairo is the number of
blind-men, women and children-to
be found everywhere in the shops
and on the streets. Ophthalmia is
very prevalent throughout Egypt.
Because of superstition concerning
the evil eye," the native mothers
of the middle or the lower class do
not wash the eyes of their babes at
all. Watching the flies buzzing un-
needed around and upon these blind
children. stranger hastens to buy
fly whisk. These are for sale every
where, and are quite attractive with
their ornaments of fancy beads and
palm leaf fiber. Blind beggars greet
one at every corner. Even in the
high class Egyptian families there
are many blind. The lower classes of
Egyptians are given much to hasheesh
that is, the lower classes in the
large cities-and, although it is
against the law to sell it, one will
have the hasheesh places pointed out
and the men who smoke the drug are
seen everywhere. They are distin-
guished by the peculiar appearance
of their eyes, which become red,
swollen and baggy underneath, and by
the peculiar color of the skin, which
resembles somewhat the skin of a
Chinese opium smoker. - Leslie's

WASHINGTON LETTER
Matters of General Intrest
From The Capitol

Washington has been seething z
with political gossip this week.
Speaker Cannon's tacit admission
that he is candidate for the pres
idency, and Governor Hughes
speech at his old home, Sandy
Hill, N. Y, have been the chief
topics of discussion and have led
to much interesting speculation.
1t is noticed that Mr.. Cannon uses,
in his public declaration, almo
the same words as did Secretary
Taft when he first announced his
candidacy. Mr.. Cannon says
that he is not candidate but "no
man would refuse the nomination.
"The people have been looking
for a sign from Governor Hughes,
and now they have got it," said a
prominent member of the admin
istration, today, apropos of Mr..
Hughes speech. After having
been introduced to an audience
composed of his old friends and
neighbors, at the county fair at
Sandy Hill, as "our next Presi-
dent, Mr. Hughes proceeded to
discuss the question of dealing
with the corporations and rail-
roads.
"The way to regulate this mat
ter is not by absurd legislation
or unreasonable demands on the
corporations involved" said the
governor. The State Govern
ment is quito competant to find
out the facts, to secure good treat
ment, to enforce the regulations
under which these franchises
should be conducted, and TO see
that every citizen of the State in
connection with our transporta-
tion gets good service at reason
able rates, and that is what we
have been trying to provide gov
ornamental machinery in this State
for" The Governors emphasis
on the ability of the State to deal
with corporations and especially
with the railroads and their rates
is in direct Contrast to the Presi-
dents policy of making very
corporation doing an interstate
business take out federal license
and with Secretary Taft's avowed
conviction that federal control OF
the railroads should be still fur
ther extended to include super
vision of their stock and bond
issues. In fact if Governor Hughes
is to be taken at his word, he does
not approve of the Railway Rate
Law for which the President
fought 80 hard, and he stands
rather with Senator Foraker, who
declares that the Rate Lew was
wholly unnecessary and unconsti-
tutional. Did the New York gov
ernor intend to repudiate the
President and his policies is the
question which the politicians are
asking since they read the Gov
ernor's speech.
