With reference to the story OF
Byron's first invitation to dinner at
the house of the poet Rogers, in st.
James place, which we quoted the
other day, a correspondent reminds
us that it had a sequel. Byron, it
will be remembered, refused every
dish, saying he took nothing but
biscuits and soda water and made
his meal Of mashed potatoes dIench-
ed with vinegar. Rogers completes
the story in his table talk. ''some
days after, meeting E[obhouse, l
said to him, How long will Byron
persevere in his present dietp He
replied, Just so long as you con-
tinue to notice it. l cid not then
know what now know to be a, fact
that Byron, after leaving my
house, had gone to a club in st.
James street and eaten hearty
meat supper. London Globe.

recognize it as the one he had liked

What IS A NEWSPAPER.
As II Appears to the City Editor With
a TfeDchant Pen.

A newspaper is the thing which
every person in town knows how to
run except the editor. 1t is what
should be an oven for "rossts" on
every one except himself, members
Of your family and few of your
friends, for whom 1t should be a
sweet scented bouquet Of praise.
1t is a promoter of profanity if it
10 not on the front porch when you
get down in the morning, and what
you tell the man who works on it
isn't ct to 60 into a decent PERSONS
home.
1t Is What the, young man who
borrows it from the saloon bar
"kicks" about because it contains
only one sporting page and which
the woman tells her neighbor when
she takes it back ls not worth sub
scriblng for because it has but one
page devoted to fashions and max
ing currant jam.
1t is what the merchant threatens
to pull his ad out of because he can.
not have the run of the paper and
what the old subscriber declares
is gong to the"demnition bowwows"
because it is getting 80 that nothing
but advertising can get position in
it any more.
1t is what you want to see the ed.
i:or to keep your name out of as
soon as you have settled with the
police juctice on the morning after
and to get your name into as soon
as the cards are issued two weeks
before.
1t is just too norrid and inquisi-
tive for anything, and "please keep
my name out" when the reporter
wishes to know about the bridge
whist club and which is the mean
old sheet that never gets anything
right when your name is omitted
from "smong those present"
1t is what no one ever forgets to
condemn for it's mistakes and never
remembers to praise for the good it
sccomplishes.
It u subsidized organ when it
fails to tell about the millionaire's
wife running away with the coach
man and a hbelous yellow rag when
it reports yonr police court trial for
killing your neighbor's rooster.
1t is what is difficult to print so
as to suit anybody and which
would be nothing but eight pages of
blank white paper with headline if
it were published so as to suit every
body.

TO REPRESENT PANAMA

POINTED MINISTER.
His Credentials Will Be Presented to
the President Early Next Week.
Senior obaldia's Plans.

Senior Don j. A. Arrange. the newly ap-

Welt early next week. He succeeds Senior

sumo the duties of acting president of the
republic during the visit Of President ANA
dor to Europe this summer.
Senior Obaldia holds an elective office in
his country, which is somewhat similar to
that of Vice President in this country, ex-
cept he has no duties to perform while
the president is In office, and 1t does not
prevent his holding another active office.
By it he Is known as designate, he being
the first OF three. The other two are Fred
eric Boyd and Gen. Aiz Puro. in the order
named, ooth Of whom are in Panama
Senior Obaldia will leave Washington

sailing for Colon June 3. He will arrive
at Panama shortly before President Anna
dor takes his departure for Europe. The
president, it is said, Is taking the journey
as a vacation. He will return to Panama
sometime next November, and 1t is bare
possibility that he will visit Washington
on his return from Europe.
Senior Obaldia's return to this country as
minister Is doubtful, since while in Pan
anna he will prosecute his campaign for
the presidency of the country at the next
election, it being understood that Presi-

PRISON FOR HUMMEL

NEW YORK, May 1O.-One year in state
prison and to pay a fine of 500 was the
sentence imposed today upon Abraham H.
Hummel, the lawyer, who was convicted
of conspiracy in~the famous Dodge Morse
divorce case. Hummel was convicted in
the New York state supreme court several
months ago. but appealed to the appellate
division of that court. The decision was
affirmed today by the higher court.
Conspiracy to annul- the marriage of
Charles W. Morse. the fnancier. to Mrs.
Charles E. Dodge was the crime of which
Hummel was convicted Mrs. Dodge had
secured a divorce from her former hus-
band in 1898. Three years later she was
married to Mr. Morse.
In 1903 Hummel, counsel for Dodge,
began proceedings to annul the decree of
divorce separating Dodge and Mrs. Dodge
on the ground that no papers In the case
was ever served on Dodge. He was sue
cessful and the divorce was set aside, but
II was learned subsequently that the
papers had been served on Dodge and he
was indicted on a charge of perjury. The
decree OF divorce was then reaffirmed and
Mrs. Dodge again became the wife of Mr..
Morse.

PLOT AGAINST FORAKER.
Purpose Is to Turn the Senator Out
of Politics.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 1O.-The jolli-
fcation Of the Taft organization leaders
of yesterday over the prospect of an un-
protested Endorsement Of their candidate
for the presidency in this state is
turned today In genuine alarm lest at the
conference Of state leaders called to
meet here on Wednesday of next week
a resolution may be adopted pledging the
party to a return of Senator Foraker to
the Senate. They declare that they will
fight to the end any resolution looking to a
joint Endorsement of Taft for the presi-
dency, Foraker for United States Senator
and Harris for governor, as the harmony
advocates suggest.
This shows that they are really more in
terested in the retirement of Senator
Foraker from politics than in securing the
Ohio Endorsement for Secretary Taft and
that the so-called Taft organization Is really
the reorganization OF the Burton-Daugherty
combination of last year. and that its real
object Is to force Senator Foraker out Of
politics.
1t is a war of determination that they
are engaged In, and no proffers of COM
promise meet favor at their hands. They
are openly declaring today that they will
permit no tripartite Endorsement resolution
as suggested by George d. Cox at the con-
ference next week. Nothing but the prest-
Dental Endorsement matter will be in order,
they say.
1t is believed, however. that cool common
sense will prevail. and that the real friends
of Secretary Taft viii see the foolishness
OF thus standing out against harmony as
offered. and. Joining with the friends of
GOV. Harris and those Of Senator Foraker
In next Wednesdays conference will be
easily able to control IL and put through
= resolution which will declare on behalf
OF the party. that Secretary Taft shaIi
have the unanimous Endorsement or Ohio
for the presidential nomination. Senator
Foraker the nomination for Uited States
senator and Gov. Harris the nomination Tor

Perpetual Motion cranks.

In the days OF the Mayfower the
first perpetual motion Inventors took
out their patents for Engines which

teyne their own mocions with continu-
ance and without any borrowed force
OF man, horse, wind, river or brooke,
and In the last century they have ap-.
piled for about 800 patents which are
based chiefly on the force OF gravity,
loss OF equilibrium, specific gravity Of
floats and weights immersed In water
or other liquid, accession Of receptacles
inflated with air or gas under water,
compression and subsequent expansion
OF gases and Of the surface tension Of
liquids. So sanguinely hopeful are
these ingenious designers that In many
eases they provide brakes to stop their
machines if necessary or to prevent
any dangerous Increase OF speed. The
care and thought expended on the prin-
ciple and detail Of many OF the inyen-
tions demonstrate that many men of
mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully soly-
ing the problem.
