tice. IL, my ambition for him. His Is a
judicial mind, you know, and he loves
tie law. Added to these are good
health and an unfailing good nature"
Mrs. Taft, tall, graceful matron of
70, was attired In a handsome black
embroidered gown with dainty cap of
white--a woman Of the old school with
whom traces of early beauty still re-
main.
She is proud of her sons mental
achievements and tells with pride OF his
record in school, his early boyhood, his
graduation from the Cincinnati high
school, his college days in Yale. and
then his admission to the bar. 1t Is his
record in law and his innate love for 1t
which cause her to wish for him a su-
preme court justiceship instead Of the
highest position in the United States.
ITO be president is dreadful respon-
sibility and a very trying position" she
continued. He has not sought to be a
candidate for 1t. 1t has been thrust

that her children were Buckeyes" than
of the success they have attained.
'Mr. Taft worries greatly about his
weight. He was always a large boy,
even when he went to college, where
he was noted as being the largest boy
there. He has weighed as much as $50
pounds, but when l. saw him in New
York just before left he weighed 270
and was hopeful Of reducing 1t to $50.
He is under the care of famous spe-

spends regularly. 1t annoys him that

P0STOFFlCE HAS A
DRAFT FOR ONE CENT

Chicago, April 33.-For the last six
teen years the Chicago postoffice has
had a surplus OF 1 cent on its books
No one has been able to find the source
of the surplus or to whom the money
was due until when w. l.. Clucas, a
special ageEt of the North American
Life Assurance company, notified post
office authorities that he held draft
for cent on the office. 1t was issued
on January 5, 1891, to his father, w. j.
Clucas, of Lebanon ILL., nv"
w. ]. Clucas was postmaster OF Leb-
anon, ILL.,, in the administration of Gro
yer Cleveland. At the end of Cleve-
lands term of office, Mr.. Clucas sent in
his statement.
II then appeared that he had sent in
cent too much. 1t was returned to
him in the form of a draft. Mr.. Clu-
cas- wishing to keep the draft as a re-
membrance, never cashed it. After his
death. in 1899, the draft was turned
over to his son, who kept it as a relic.
After the settlement of the state, Mr..
Clucas found 1t never could be cashed,
as his father had not indorsed 1t in his
name. For this reason the postoffice
auditor never will be able to balance
his books unless Mr.. Clucas takes tho
matter into court.

WABASH ENGINE AND
COACH Jump TRACK

Pittsburg, Pa, April 30.-Two men
were killed and 100 passengers had a
thrilling escape on the Wabash rail-
road Sunday when the engine and one
passenger coach OF westbound train
No. q left the tracks near the Bridge
vile station and plunged into Charters
creek, forty feet below:
The dead:

ton, o.
The train was crossing a trestle over
CHARTERS creek when, without warning,
the engine suddenly leaped from the
rails and shot to the stream under
meath, taking the first coach with it.
The coach was smashed to splinters.
There were, as it happened, no passen-
gers in the front coach. The coupling
between 1t and the second coach was
broken when the engine left the rails.
None Of those in the three remaining
coaches knew of the accident or
realized how close they had come to
death until several minutes afterward
when the cars, deprived Of motive
power, slackened their speed and
stopped.
A new schedule went into effect on
the road Sunday, and to this fact many
owe their lives. Under this schedule
train No. Al left here forty-five min
utcs earlier, and over fifty persons
missed the train for this reason. On
account of the reduced number Of
passengers all were placed in the three
rear coaches.
Boyd and McIsaacs were crushed to
death. The cause of the accident Is
a mystery, and the railroad officials
will give out no statement until an in
vestigation has been made.

SHOW MANAGER GONE,
LEMONS TO ACTORS
Head Of the Aggregation Buys
a Rope and Disappears---
Police Search Futile.

Phoenixville, Pa, April 3O.-Herma.
Model, manager of the Star Opera com.
pany, which came to this place for
three night stand, disappeared from
town, and the few members of the
company still here are puzzled as &c
his whereabouts.
Local theatergoers were not pleased
with the show and number OF lemons
were passed up to the stage.
This injured the pride OF the PLAYERS
and following the performance a stormy
scene ensued between the company and
the manager, during which the latter
was accused OF starting out before the
members were familiar with their
parts.
Nodell paced the floor of his room all
night and the following morning pur-
chased several yards of strong rope
after which he disappeared. The local
police have instituted a vigorous search
without result. Want OF money did not
figure in the disappearance as Nodell
Is known to have been we'll supplied
with this commodity.
Twelve members of this troupe were
stranded here, but with the proceeds of
a benefit performance, given last night,
six were enabled to return to New
York.
Nodell, who was manager and owner
Of the show, is a German about 30
years old. The SCENERY and costumes,
the latter worth about 81, 500 will be
held until the mystery Is cleared up,
Only one weeks salary is due the
players.
