OUR SLAVIC FELLOW CITIZENS.

American politics is for the most
 part quite as much a matter of purely
 local interest as Polish or Croatian
 politics could possibly be, says Char
 ities. Since the days of the anti-slav-
 cry movement. which enlisted the gem
 erous sympathies of the old generation of liberal immigrants. our politics have involved few questions of general in
 terest apart from some of our present
 social economic issues. The educated
 European remains on the outside of
 American life quite as much because I: is provincial as because he is. Con
 sequently. unless he is made over into
 complete American. the foreigner is
 likely to take part in our politics only as a matter of business which is to
 say cOrruDtly. Among the simple minded yet shrewd fellows at the bot
 tom this is often quite naively and in
 nocently the case. X librarian who is a good friend of the various nationali-
 ties HhO york in her own town asked
 the Poles who were coming in and out { of the librar,- on one election day what [ they were voting for. They replied cheerfully. pleased that she took an in- terest in their affairs and that they had so good a market to report. For lS2." The whole situation is one which naturally lends itself to logrolling and political trading. When there are groups of men with their full numerical | share of political power. with no use
 to which they want to put il and full of clannish feeling. it is very easy for leader of their own kind to vote"
 them as a unit. If he is bid for by the
 offer of some petty office it gratifies
 not only him but his whole group who feel themselves vicariously honored in
 his person.
 While the conviction that American
 politics are corrupt draws in some men ! it keeps others out. As a Slovak min
 ister said to me: My people are not
 interested in politics they say 'Das ist mehr Geldsache'"
 AS to political affiliations both par ties count Slavs as members. In the lante-belium days the slavery issue tended to draw Bohemians and Poles.
 both of whom supplied gallant soldiers
 to the Union. into the republican ranks.
 It is interesting to find that the Poles voted for Grant in 1872. the first elec-
 ton in which they were notably in-
 terested, not only because of his war record but because he recognized the

 vention.

Washington, Dee. 5.-The formid- able character Of Kansas Citv's boom for the republican national convention has stirred the friends of Chicago to renewed endeavOr, some of them were very hopeful tonight that they will yet secure the meeting.
 large percentage of the committee men feel that the convention should not go west of the Mississippi and they seem to have centered upon Chicago as the most available point east of that stream
 number of those who take that view held a conference this afternoon and reached tke conclusion that a ma Jority of the committee really favored Chicago and that that city could secure rhe convention if it would pledge a sufficient sum to pay expenses. Dur ing the evening assurances were re- oeived from Chicago that if the con- ventiOn should come 10 that city the Coliseum, with a seating capacity of li,coo. would be provided with proper facilities fer holding the convention. rent free. and also that the city would give as large an amount for convention expenses as it has ever done in the past. With these assurances those who advocate the selection of Chicago will go before the committee toH,or- TOW confident Of success.

French republic during the Prussian war. while his opponent. Greeley. was supposed to have favored Austria in Italy and Germany in Alsace-Lorraine. Another reason for republicanism has been the simple and ineligible one that the Irish were democrats. On the other hand, in Chicago, both Bohem- ians and Poles are said to be normally democrats and the explanation in the case of the Bohemians is that repub- licanism meant the administration and that Bohemians were readily led by their past experience to join the oppo- sition. How far SIavs in this country are naturaliZed it is impossible to say, the census figures on the subject being unusable in this case. In Hadley, Mass. where 47 Poles own propertly and 123 more pay poll tax, only two are naturalized. and I judged that the Americans were far from desiring to have more become voters. The policy of the more enlightened Slavic leaders, on the contrary, is to urge citizenship, and one at least of the national so- cieties requires it.
 In many places their vote is an inn portant consideration. In the Illinois state campaign in 1906 both republic ans and democrats nominated Pole for the office of state treasurer. One of these nominees had already served in Chicago as alderman and as city attorney. A number of Poles have sat in state legislatures, both as represen- tatiVes. and in one instance at least in the senate. and a Wisconsin Bohem- ian's desk in the house was reserved for him on his election as a sort of family perquisite. or rather as couT- teous recognition of the service of his father and brother, who had preceded him in office.

A QUEER ISLAND.
No Bottom Found in Any of the Wells
 Bored in Curacoa.

Curacoa is one of the queerest little islands in the Caribbean sea. It lies sixty miles north of Venezuela, is about sixty miles long and twelve or four teen miles wide and it has popula- tion of more than 50,O0O.
 There is no means of procuring fresh water on the island except by saving rainwater in reservoirs. A number of wells have been bored under the su- pervisicn of the Dutch government. to which it belongs, but each ended in a failure.
 X curious statement regarding these borings is made by the inhabitants of the island. They say that in each and every case after q certain depth was reached the tools dropped out of
 sight. indicating that there is no solid foundation to the island. The borings were made in low places and through places A few wells have been dug to a lesser depth and brackish, un- pleasant tasting water is obtained, fit only for manufacturing purposes. The approach of the rainy season Is always an interesting time. The wa

A k0TfD ACTRESS
 ENDS HER LIFE
Mrs. Clara 5ioodsood Had Deadly Fear That She Would Suffer Ner- vous Prostration.

Baltimore, Dec. Mrs. Clara Blood good, the actress. committed suicide by shooting herself in her room at the Hotel Stafford. this evening. Mrs. Bloodgood's body was found lying in bed with a bullet hole through the roof of her mouth Nearby lay a book en- titled, How to Shoot Straight" and a revolver with three chambers empty.
 She attended a matinee performance at Albaugh's theater this afternoon and returned to the hotel about 1 D. m.. seemingly in the best of spirits. Later when the time came for the curtain to rise for her own show at the Academy of Music. where she was appearing in The Truth" she had not put in an appearance. Word was sent to the hotel and boy was sent up to her room. Just as he approached the door he heard pistol shot. Hurrying back to the office he notified clerk; an in vestigation was made and Mrs Blood good was found as described.
 Before retiring she had talk with the stage manager, John Emerson, who declares that he observed nothing un- usual in her demeanor. The only mo- tive that can be ascribed is that Mrs. Eloodgood feared an attack of nervous pIostration.
 She had been working very hard, Emerson said. and she feared a break down. Mrs. BloOdgoOd left note ad dressed to her husband. who is said to be on his way to this city. The audi ence at the Academy of Music was dismissed with the announcement that there would be no performance owing to the sudden indisposition of Mrs. BlOodgood.
