Removal of the Constitution.
The Boston patriots do not t,

The Boston patriots do not take kindly to the suggestion that the fri gate Constitution may be removed from the Boston navy-yard to Anna polls, in order to make room at the yard. It would be an excellent move, all the same Acting Secretary New berry has taken up the subject with the governor of Massachusetts, and has suggested that if the people of Boston or the State are anxious to have the ship remain at Boston they should provide an anchorage for it at some point where it would not inter- fere with the work at the navy yard The navy department is making col lection of historic relics connected with the period of the Constitution's service in the war of 1812, and these will be placed for exhibition on the ship at some future time. The Hart ford, which was the flagship of Ad- miral FaTagut, and the cruiser Olym- pia, which flew the flag of Admiral Dewey at Manila bay, are now station ed at Annapolis, There have been some suggestions that the Constitu- ton should be brought to Washineton and anchored in the Potomac, but MT Newberry is not favorable to that plan.-Army and Navy Journal.

SAM SPECK UNDER FIRE AN IRATE BRIDE-ELECT Would Have the swellest Wed ding or None-Manager
 is Squelched-He
 Promises.

Manager Samuel H. speck, of the White City, for once in his successful career has had to take a back seat. He has been turned upside down, lec- tured, confronted with feminine fists and threatened, and finally compelled to give in. And all this trouble over the colored wedding at the White City tomorrow evening. In brief, he an- nounced that the affair would be a real old Virginia ceremony. He thought the public would enjoy it and perhaps he was right. but in the rush of things he failed togconsult the con- tracting parties, or, at least, the bride to-be. Naturally, she wanted some thing to say, and she hove it off her mind in the office of the White City yesterday afternoon. As a matter of fact, she had a good deal to say, al- though it didn't take her long. The words just simply spilled over her husky lips. She just wanted Massa SpeclS to understand that if she wore g'wine to be married she wore g'wine to be married the right way, and no other" She is Miss Sophia Herbert, of Dixwell avenue, formerly a belle of Jacksonville, Fla, and she would only be married the way white society folk do, She had read about the oth- CT weddings at the White City, and if she could not have just as good as the others-well, there would be no wed- ding.
 Speck's arch enemy would have pitied his discomfort and chagrin at this announcement What could he do to square himself with the public? The wedding had been advertised to take place, and never in his life has he gone back on what he had prom ised the people It was decidedly up to him. A look into the ominously dark eyes of that bronze beauty from the south was quite sufficient to con vince him she could not be moved
 At last it all seemed quite simple. He would have to wilt; he would have to give in and acknowledge himself beaten by a pretty little dusky maid
 The decision was made right there, and Miss Herbert was promised the grandest public society wedding ever seen in the country She will have bridesmaids and flower girls, pages and ushers, and music by the Second Regiment band instead of jubilee sing CTS. She will have a gorgeous silk dress and carry orange blossoms for | bridal flowers, rose leaves will bestreW her path and everything done to make the affair elaborate and elite. Speck says he will surprise Miss Herbert her self with the arrangements
 The groom will be MT Leroy Huey of DiXwell avenue.
 Last evening MT. Felix Wilson, of the Sea View hotel was decided upon as usher and Miss Flora Hilton as bridesmaid.

A RAGE VOICE FOR HUGHES.

One. of the most interesting devel- opments in the politics of the times is the steady growth of public opinion favorable to the nomination of Gov. Hughes of New York to succeed Pres ident Roosevelt. We find this pub lie opinion cropping out all along the line in the publications of all parties and in conversation with all sorts of men all over the country as we have met them during the past eight weeks.
 Coincident with the development of the sentiment inimical to the third term precedent and to faction candi- dates has grown up a sentiment fav- orabIe to a personality strong enough to command the confidence of the na- tional electorate in the nominating convention and in the voting of the federal electorate. We have in Gov Hughes Q man who meets all of the requirements of the situation. He stands for the Roosevelt policies" of making the corporations deal straight with the people, and for the policy of compelling trade unionism to do like wise.
 What more does the country wish of man in the White House than that he represent all of its interests of all of the people alike with "the Big Stick ?"--New York Age,
