OFFICE SEEKING.
A Good Deal of the Presidents Time
Taken Up by Candidates and Their
Sponsors.

The President is spending most OF the
present week in Washington. He re-
turned here from the West in Il driv-
ing rain, ard for a few days thereafter
has been busy catching up with the
routine work Of his office. A few poll
ticians have been coming TO town for
conferences with him. They are talking
politics and patronage, especially the lat
ter, for every Republican Congressman
every little while has offices TO I'LL, and,
of course, he wants to urge the Presi-
dent to appoint this or that man. And
as a matter of fact good deal of the
Presidents time now, as generally, is
devoted to hearing what Congressional
and other callers have 10 say about the
fitness of candidates for Offices. In the
big bundles of papers that come out of
the Presidents Office the broad parch-
ment sheets-which are commissions
for office-constitute conspicuous por-
ton. The strife for Office is just as keen
as ever in every State CT the Union.
There are the inevitable quarrels and
controversies growing out of aspira-
tons to Office. A considerable percent

when completed he will present to the
city. With what certainly looks like in
territorial malice. Frick quietly. unsus-
pected by either Carnegie or his agents,
purchased property directly across the
street from the Carnegie Institute. and
he intends making his building so high
as to entirely spoil the effect of Carne-
gie's buildings. making them look
squatty. When Carnegie's agents heard
of Tricks scheme they tried to buy him
off, but he was adamant. even the offer
of 100000 more than what he paid for
the property having no effect. Carnegie
was furious when he was made ac-
quainted with the situation Frick
will endow the institution heavily. which
will be devoted to the education OF i'm

from the lower classes. One of them,

the housewives of Finland, being the

House Servants Union She keeps these
poor Finnish ladies in a state of cold
perspiration by constantly threatening

men of Finland have their Socialist
Party, which has grown tremendously
since started. Every peasant girl is
ambitious to become a member. 1t Is
stated that more than 20 per cent of all
the working women in the land belong
to this society.
Those who read Robert Hichen's
book. THE Garden of Allah" will never
forget his wonderful description of the
garden on the edge Of the great desert
of Sahara. which gave the title to the
story. Kitchens describes it with
wealth of language and riot of local
color worthy of Theophile Gautier, SO
that the reader sees every walk, every
tree, every flower in that garden, and
the interior of the garden house is as
familiar as if one had entered and rest
ed there. The garden stretched over
about IL acres. every foot of which was
under cultivation, each step revealing
some new beauty. 1t is the property of
Count Landon, who now being well on
in years, is anxious to dispose of 1t to
someone who will keep it, just as he has,
out of the despoiling hands of specula-
ton, a private garden and not resort
for tourists. A wealthy American from
Wheeling, w. Va, travelling thru north
ern Africa, had the good fortune to
visit this enchanting garden, and IT is
said made Count Landon an offer for
| it. The garden is kept up by an army
of workmen, who have made almost 4
religion of beauty. and who put into
the tending of tree. flower and grass Il
passionate devotion. The Count has
spent large amount of money on his
garden necessarily, his irrigation plant
alone costing him $4,000.
Abe Hummel is certainly not having
very bad time. He goes to work a. 8
in the morning and stops at in the
afternoon, with an hours rest at noon.
His work is neither hard nor unpleas-
ant. being the weighing of meats and
vegetables in the storehouse and the
wheeling of them along nice gravel
path to the kitchen. 1t is great inn
provement on employment in the hot
bakery, where he was first put to work.
He is said to be quite resigned to his
collecting material for his book, which
he says he shall write as soon as his
time expires.

A Peoples university.

The magnificent building of the Car
hegie Institute of Pittsburg, which has
just been dedicated in the presence of
representatives of foreign govern
ments and men of learning from all
over the world. is memorial and
tribute to human aspiration. 1t is not
accident, but significant and natural
thing that this great peoples universi
ty should rise in the heart of the roar
Ing, grimy Birmingham of America.
Here the great fortune of the donor
was in large part made. Here are the
men who helped him make it, Here
he, too, in his youth, worked with
head and hands, and felt that insatiate
thirst for knowledge and light which
the new institute will help to satisfy
TO this day Mr.. Carnegie holds in
grateful memory the persons who
helped him by such small favors as
the loan of single book. The Car
negie Institute embraces five great de-
partments: the library, with a quarter
of million volumes; the museum con
tanning one of the finest natural his
tory collections in the world; the art
gallery, with its annual international
jury and generous prizes; the music
hall, where the. best work of great
composers has an adequate presenta-
ton ana the great group of technical
schools, for admission to which 10000
students have already applied. 1t
would be unjust to overlook the cour-
age and the far-sighted generosity of
the city of Pittsburg in building up
the institute, says the Youths Com
panion Every offer which Mr.. Car
uegie has made has been met halfway
by the municipality. and every step
his philanthropy has advanced has
been promptly paralleled by the city.
Skilled workmen and the great indus
tries in which they are engaged have
made Pittsburg one of the great
American cities. The Carnegie Insti-
tute will help to place it among the
great educational and artistic and
nusical-eenters Although it's physical
atmosphere is dark and smoky. its
mental outlook is bound to be clear,

NEGROES BLOODY DEED.
Killed His wlfefi Attempted Daughters
Life and Shielded.

Weimar, Tex. A most terrible trag-
edy was enacted here Tuesday night
in negro circles. Lee Henderson, a
middle-aged negro who has been in
the Colorado county jail for some time
on charges of Grim. lal assault and in
cest, was released on bond Friday.
Tuesday night he went to the home
of his wife, near Shemek, caught his
daughter and tried to cut her throat.
The young woman ran, escaping with
only slight injury. His wife was also
present and attempted to run also, but
was not so fortunate, the enraged man
overtaking her in the yard, cutting her
throat from ear to ear, killing her in
stantly, Having accomplished the
deed, he dragged the body of his wife
into the house and placed it upon the
bed. He then, it is supposed, crawled
over the body, lay on the other side
and also cut his throat from ear to ear.
Parties seeing blood and being
alarmed by the girl, went to the house
and above results were soon seen,
Thus ends another chapter in the ne
gro settlement of this section.

Snatcned From Jaws OF Death.
Austin, Tex: Under circumstances
that probably have no counterpart in
the history OF Texas legislation, the
House Thursday afternoon passed the
Santa Fe Merger bill over the COVER
nor's veto, after 1t had been declared
lost by the fraction of one vote. This
reversal of judgment was brought
about by the simple expedient of re.
considering. The motion was made
by Mr.. Alderdice, who, on the second
roll call voted no. But there were
other changes, and whereas on the
first vote the bill got but SO out OF
125 present, one-third Of vote less
han two-thirds of the whole number,
On the second roll-call It got IS out

episode somewhat sensational was
