BONAPARTE VERY EXPLICIT
Pronounces Published Story "a
Bald FaIseh00d."

Washington, May 9.-Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte has given out a state
ment referring to the publication In a
number Of newspapers to the effect
reason Of III health. 1t was also puD-
lished, in substance, that the depart
ment was at a low state Of efficiency
in consequence of the attorney gen.
erals inattenticn to public business,
Mr.. Bonaparte's statement Is as toi-
lows:
Insofar as the publications In ques-
ton reflect on me personally do not
care to say anything at all about
them; but they reflect, by implication,
upon my subordinates as well, since
they allege In substance that the work
of the entire department Is languid
and ineffective and 1t Is my duty, as
its head, to pronounce this statement
| a bald falsehood, originating either In
malice or else In gross and Wliifui
| ignorance of the facts. The work or
the department increases every day
and | do not believe. 1t has ever re-
ceived more Jealous and faithful at
tention than 1t receives now from the
officers and employees OF the depart
mcnt, with the exception, of course, OF
the attorney general himself. do
not. indeed, consider 1t any part OF
the departments duty to furnish a
liberal daily supply Of headlines for
newspapers and the department is not
| administered with that laudable end
in view, but for this opinion and its
practical application no one is respon-
sible or should be blamed but my un'
worthy SELF"

Clever With the Cards.

Some years ago a certain county jail
was undergoing extensive alterations,
during which time gang of pickpoci:
cts, four in number, were arrested 0ne
market day. Owing to the alteration
the lot We're confined for time in Os.t
cell, but were placed under strict su'
veillance, the care OF them being spe-
cially Entrusted to the sergeant. Tie
day after during his rounds he Spiej
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned Il f2l-
low constable, on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners were most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However, the card playing still,
continued until the day on which the
pickpockets were to be sent to the as
sizes for trial. Then the superintend-
ent, very kind man and great IA
vorite with every one, asked them as
favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
In his pocket and picked it again be-
fore he left. as proof of which they
presented him with the much used
pack. -Pearson's Weekly.

A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance is reported
from Natal, where n youthful Hindoo
bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
Jewels. The case came before the Dur
ban police court In the first instance,
where the brides parents, says the
Natal Mercury, accused her husband of
abducting her while under thirteen
years Of age. The bride, however,
claimed to be eighteen, and the magis-
trate dismissed the case. Outside the
court tug Of war took place between
the two parties for the possession OF
the bride, In the course Of which it az
peared that what her parents particu.
larly desired was not herself, but her
jewelry. A sergeant of police then sat
In Judgment and decided that the jew.
elry belonged to the parents, and the
girl must choose between her husband
and her bracelets. After some cogita-
ton she chose the husband, who
promptly unfastened the bangles from
her arms and handed them to her
parents.

A WelIinqton Ruse.

Once during the Iron Dukes cam,
paign in the Pyrenees it happened that
General Pictons disposition for receiv-
ing the assault of Marshal Soult dis
pleased him. The danger threatened
I from in front, and the difficulty lay in
delaying the attack until Wellington
could effect the change he wished. He
was as usual, equal to the occasion.
Waving his hat In the air, he galloped
to the front Of the regiment as if he
meant to order a charge. The whole Of
picton's line cheered tremendously, and
as the roar died away Wellington was
heard to remark half to himself:
"Soult is Il cautious commander and
will not attack in force without aSce"
tanning the meaning of these cheers
That will leave time for the Sixth diui
sion to come up, and we shall beat
him." This was exactly what happen
Ell, and Sout sustained bloody re-
pulse where he might have won an
easy victory.

Smoking In Congress.

The rule against smoking in cor

the suggestion of the late Senator In,

complained one day that smoke was
being waited into the chamber from

senator's Joined the Kansan in protest
The rule was passed. Later it de.

burning waste near the capitol, and

ROOSEVELT.

Those who take Mr. Roosevelt's dec
lination of the Republican nomination
seriously and imagine that it elimi-
mates him as a possible candidate in
the presidential campaign next year
will probably have occasion to recon
slider the situation within the next
half year. Mr.. Roosevelt is possessed
of an extraordinary degree of polit-
ical sagacity and beneath an ostensi-
bly, ingenious exterior there lies a
vein of keen shrewdness that must be
reckOned with in final analysis of the
political situation as it may develop
in that period
That it has been the intention of
the president to offer for third term
there can be no doubt, or he would not
have SO long delayed definite express
sion upon the subject. But the re-
sponsbility for the money panic has
been laid at his door by certain cor
onized by refusing to look upon the
law, as it affects them, as dead let
ter, and imperative. His reply is
that he only uncovered dishonesty and
violations Of law in high places and
while he is in no wise responsible for
the existence of these unhealthy con-
ditions he is trying, under the law,
to remedy the evils, and he is Endorsed
in his efforts by the masses OF the
American people. His refusal to ac-
cept the nomination means that he
puts ii up to the people to condemn
or to indorse his administration. A
great fleet of sixteen war vessels, full
ly equipped with the most approved
implements of modern naval warfare
is now steaming south on the Atlantic
on its way around the southern end
of the continent to the Pacific ocean.
While its mission is declared by the
administration to be peaceful, it is
a significant fact that every Japanese
employed in any capacity on the ships
was discharged from the service. The
ships are due in the southern Cali
fornia waters in April. The Republi-
can convention meets in June. No
telling what international complied
tons might arise in sixty days. There
is a greater significance to the move
ment Of the feet than appears upon
the surface. The state department
and the president are probably in pos,
session of facts axecting our relations
with foreign power w.,.cl the time
honored usages of diplomacy forbid
their sharing with the public. Should
complications with another power de
velop Or seem probable before the
meeting of the Republican nomina
ton, the cry would be raised that u
is not safe to swap horses while
crossing a stream" and Mr.. Roose
Welt, by an overwhelming majority
would be called upon to guide the
ship OF state until she again reached
peaceful waters.
Would the president not regard this
mark Of confidence as vindication O
his course, and does any man Of ordi
