Accounts are being cast up at the end of the fiscal year and it is found that the expenses of the president for travelling have been small. There was an appropriation of s25. made for this purpose by the last con- gress and there was some talk of it not being large enough. The rail- roads which had been furnishing presidential special trains had been spending money like water and going to extravagsnt lengths. The president likes comfort but does not care about luxuries, and since he has been pay ing his own way with government money he has cut everything down to very plain frst-class accommodations. The result is that the total travelling expenditure comes inside of ss,0OO. and about twolthirds of the appropri- ation will be turned back into the treasury and the presidents friends will have that fact handy when the campaign time comes around again.

TO MAKE FOR BABY
HAND EMBROIDERY MUCH USED
 ON INFANTS GARMENTS.
Some Dainty Models Which Can Be Easily copied-All Done In
 French Convent" Work.

Although hand embroidery is so much a fad at present that it is lav. ished upon great many garments, 1t has an especially important place in the making Of infants clothing, the embroidery used being of the finest, most delicate order. A great many women delight in doing such fine hand. work. and for anyone fond of fine needlework the making of fine baby clothes has great fascination. All of the garments pictured in the drawing were made entirely by hand, the sketches showing some very dainty models which could be easily copied.
 The embroidery is all done in what is known as French convent" work, rather fine, soft cotton being used, the flower and leaf forms all being padded. Very little lace is used on

Republican feuds are disgusting the honest voters of that party, says a writer. and it is evident that it will be more and more difficult to get all the elements necessary to success combined in whoever is nominated for president next year. The bitterness engendered will also affect the nomi- nation and election of the local tick cts and there is where the democrats will have great opportunity in some of the doubtful states and congress- ional districts. But to take advantage of these differences amongst republi- cans the democrats must unite and while cleaving to the essential prin- ciples of democracy can afford to compromise Or lay by their disagree ments on policies until they havede- feated the common enemy.

For "the Cup That Cheers"

 Afternoon tea is now an established and welcome custom in most house. holds, and there are many welcome additions to the cup that transforms it so that the visitor often asks, What is it?"
 One hostess uses arrack, another green mint cherries with a bit of rock candy for sweetening. another places four whole cloveS in each cup, rum and thin slices of pineapple is the embel. lishment given by another Half claret and half tea is the favorlte formula of little southern woman renowned for mixtures.
 The dainty Japanese waters to be found in the delicatessen shops are just the thing to serve and are the very latest caper. If the hostess pos. sesses set of gold medallion Canton, the teapot in its cozy basket, if she passes candied ginger on a quaint Imari plate and burns the best orien- tai incense in a bronze burner she is doing quite the most up.to-date thing, and her teas" will be noted in her community.

There has been good deal of talk about graft and rake of in the pur. chase of supplies for the Panama canal, and it appears now that the whole of buying is to be taken over by the army which will handle prac- t!cally all the purchases for the work and the men. The purchases of ma, chinery' and material for the work are to be made by the chief of engin- eers, those of medicines by the sur geon generals office and those Of commissary material through the commissary generals office. There is one thing to be said about the new
 scheme and that is that the officers in charge of these departments are about as nearly incorruptible as hu- man beings. .can be and there is not likely to be much more talk of graft.

The outlook, political and indus trial. is full Of complexity. says a Washington writer. There have been strikes in New York. Boston. Chicago. San Francisco. Evansville. Buffalo and Washington city, and other trade centers. and also an im- portant strike on the Erie railroad system. Some of these are still un- settled. and there is promise of a strike involving the telegraphers. line men and other electrical workers. In fact. there has not been so profound a state of unrest among the working men since 1899. and this condition is aggravated by the discharge of a large number of the employes of the New York Central railroad. and pro- spectiye retrenehmsnts by other railroads. There has been rioting in San Francisco. New York. and Evansville The Japanese question has also been brought to the front again by reason of an attack upon a Japanese restaurant and bathing house in San Francisco. and this fn- cidsnt has intensified the feeling aroused among the Isboring men by the action of the federal sdministrz- ton in the controversy over the ad- mission of Japznese to the public schools for white children in that city The unfsvorzbIs reports iron the crops thr0aghout this and othsr countries are slso cause of grave

GATES TO SUPPLY TEXAS OIL
Magnate Is Said to Have Acquired
Waters-Pierce Business.
Company Takes Over Distributing
Service of Trust-State's Judg-
ment Protected by Bond.

Austin, Tex, June 19.-The report that
the Texas company in which John ".
Gates is the principal stockholder. has ac-
qIired the oil distributing business Of the
Waters-Picrce Oil Company in Texas, is
received with credence in State official
circles. The purchase Of the property Of
the Waters-Pierce oil Company could not
be made outright during the tendency OF
the receivership case, bur II is claimed
that there is nothing to hinder any other
concern taking over its oil wagon routes
In the different cities and towns Of the
State
This is what the Texas company IS
said 70 have arranged 10 do. II would
practically mean a cessation of business
in Texas so far as the Waters-P Pierce
Company is concerned, but If the pur-
pose Of the transaction was to foil the
state in its effort TO accumulate the judg-
ment penalty Of $1,279.00O, it will be OF no
avail.
1t was stated by Assistant Attorney
General Lightfoot, who managed tho
case Of the State against the Waters
Pierce Company, that the bond OF S,275.-
CO., which the court required the COM
pany 10 give pending the final decision
Of the case In the higher court. IS ample
protection Of the States judgment, and
that the penalties Will come out Of tn,
bond and not out Of the property or as
sets of the company.

CARDINAL SEES WORLD PEACE
His EmiuenCe Says ChrIst's Mission
VIII Bc Ultimately FULFILLED.

Worcester. Mass. June 19-Cardinal
Gibbons, while here has given his views
on international peace.
u should be very glad, indeed, 70 give
my views on such a subject in detail, for
It is one I'm which am profoundly inter-
ested. But want Of time precludes my
stating at length the reasons by which
hold that Chrst's mission Of peace to
men has not failed.
"Christ's mission on earth said the
cardinal was to establish a triple peace
IN the hearts Of men, peace with God by
the observance OF His commandments
peace with our felIow-rhen by the prac-
tice Of justice and charity. and peace
within our own breasts by keeping our
passions subject 20 reason, and our rea-
son in harmony with the divine law.
1T is true that the history of the last
twenty centuries. with their wars that
have ravaged the Christian world, might
lead some people TO take the view and
TO eNclaim in anguish Of heart that the
mission of Christ was a failure. But this
view is not a right one TO take. Indeed
the cause of peace has made most de-
cislve progress, and its ultimate success
