THE WHITE HOUSE QUARANTlNED.
PRESIDENTS SON PRONOUNCED
ILL WITH pIPHTHERIA.
The Chief Executive Is Not Alarmed,
But Goes Horseback Riding
As UsuDal.

Washington, March 4. - Archie
Roosevelt, the presidents third son, is
i'll with diphtheria, and the white
house is quarantined.
In an official statement issued from
the presidents ONCE announcing the
fact it was said:
He row seems to be doing well.
He is located in the southeast room of
the white house and strict quarantine
is being observed"
The case is of a rather severe and
virulent type, and first made its ap-
pearance on Friday last, when Archie
took to his bed and a physician was
called.
Diphtheria was suspected from the
first, but 1t was said that the case
was not diagnosed for a certainty.
The matter was kept quiet until the
official bulletin was issued from Sec
retary Loeb's office. with the addition
al information that the presence OF
contagious disease in a remote corner
of the white house would make no
difference with the transacting of busi-
ness in the presidents Office as usual.
The offices used by the president
and the clerical force connected with
the white house are In small build
ing located between the mansion and
the state, war and navy building and
connected with the former by long
terrace in which the laundry is sit
Iated.
No anxiety for the president is felt
at the white house, the belief being
that he has not had an opportunity
to contract the disease. 1t is not quiet
clear just when Mr.. Roosevelt last
saw Archie, but it was said that it
was at least three or four days since
they met.
On the other hand it appears that
Archie has been ailing for several
days, and that all last week he COM
planned Of not feeling well. 1t was
thought at first that he was suffering
form light attack of grip.
The president, at any rate, is not
concerned for his own health, and he
went out horseback riding as usual
in the afternoon. Other members of
the family remained in doors
The white house was quarantined
only once before. That was in the
winter Of 1928, when Marthena
Harrison, President Harrison's grand
daughter, was i'll with diphtheria. The
Christmas of 1892 was q very gloomy
occasion In the big manison where the
president lives.

HAD ONE GREAT CONSOLATION.
At Least Onlookers Did Not Know Of
Congressman's Misfortune.

Recently a member of congress
from Missouri came racing down the
iron steps which led to the train shed
of one of the depots in Washington,
just as the train was pulling out.
The member was stout and per-
spring, and his arms were filled with
bundles, for he was a commuter.
Everybody got out of his way as he
platform, some shouting advice and
more or less pleasant comment after
him. Some sportively inclined per-
sons offered bets in a loud voice on
his chances of catching the train,
while others laughed at his grim de-
termination.
The member caught the train, be-
ing hoisted upon the platform by a
trainman, without the loss of bun
die. He shook his fist at the cheer
ing crowd behind him and went in
side the car with the bliSSful sense
of having won out"
1t was only when the conductor
came around that he learned that he
was on Chicago express. instead of
a local accommodation. However, he
accepted the situation gracefully, OBJ,

PENMANsHIP A FINE ART.
Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field.

There is a renaissance in penman-
ship, despite the speedy comforts Of
the typewriters. Ten years ago it prob
ably would not have occurred to any
one to show page Of manuscript at
any exhibition; to-day pages or books
of script form a feature of every show
which takes to itself the name of arts
and crafts. Some of the work is in
Roman capitals, but the form Of letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel. Apparently all the writers
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, so that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons in script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work. From
one viewpoint 1t is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins, but though in the recent re-
vival the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum-
inator are not necessarily one and the
same person. Some of the illumina-
tionS show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration, so delicate in color
ing and so refined in treatment that
it challenges comparison with the best
of old work.

passengers were seriously injured
About 80 passengers were more OF
less cut and bruised. The dead:
Wylie Irwin, Pittsburg, engineer,
caught under wrecked engine and
burned to death before the eyes OF
the passengers, who were powerless
to liberate him.
Fortunately the train left the rails
to the left and was ditched at the foot
of the mountain. To the right was q
so foot embankment and water.
Most Remarkable Accident on Record.
1t was one of the most remarkable
accident on record in so far as only
one person was killed.
1t is said to be even more marvellous
than the wreck of the Pennsylvania

to the engineers rescue. Their efforts
were accelerated by Twins pathetic
pleading, but without success. Relief
trains were dispatched from this city
and the injured brought to the hospi'

Talking regarding the cause Of the
wreck, Superintendent Finey said:
The wreck was caused by some
part of the engine mechanism becom-

throwing the train from the rails. 1t
would be hard to prove this now, as
everything is broken or burned"

MRS. VIM. BYWATERS
TELLS STORY OF HUSBANDS
KILLING BY HER BROTHERS.

Evidence Indicates That Tragedy Wat
Unexpected To the Principals
involved.

Culpeper, Va, Feb. 2S.-Mrs William
Bywaters. whose husband was killed
by her brothers, James and Philip
Strouther, on the night OF December
Is a few moments after his marriage
TO their sister was the principal wit
ness in their trial. She was placed
on the stand by counsel for the de-
fense, and although pale and wan,
and being in an invalids chair, she
maintained her compoSure, and when
court adjourned for luncheon had COM
pleted her direct and cross-examina'
ton.
Beginning with her early association
with the dead man, and with her love
for him, she told the jury OF her mis-
treatment under promise of marriage
and of her pleadings with Bywaters
to make reparation.
Confessed To Brothers.
She described how, when her condi'
tion became known to her brothers and
she broke down and confessed, they
demanded of the man who had mis-,
treated her that he Immediately marry
her.
In answer to a question she said
that she did not think Bywaters at
first intended to marry her. She de-
scribed the restless desire of Bywaters
to leave her within "A short time after
the ceremony and then of her brothers
opening fire on him.
She was unable to give minute de-
tails of the shooting, as she was too
overcome by the excitement of the
moment.
The trial Jagged somewhat at the
afternoon session, the defense calling
only two witnesses, Mrs. Edward l..
Gaines a sister, and F. Strouther, a
brother of Mrs. Bywaters. Judge Har-
rison, with view Of eXpediting the
trial, ordered the courtroom cleared.
Told of 5ywaters' First Introduction.
Mrs. Gaines told in a simple, unaf-
fected way of Bywaters' first introduc-
tion into the Strother home, his affec-
lion for Viola, and then Of the circum-
stances leading to the tragedy on the
night OF December IS, when, while
fleeing from the bedroom in which
his bride of an hour lay Ill, he was
shot and killed by her enraged broth
ers.
She declared that Bywaters' indif-
ference to her sister maddened her
(the witness), and when ne openely
ridiculed Viola's condition" she turn
ed on him, declaring: You are the
lowest dog that ever lived"
Her husband added: We'll, Bywa-
ters, you have violated every obliga-
ton of an Odd Fellow and man OF
honor" The sting carried by her hus-
bands (Mr. Gaines) bitter denuncia-
tion of her sisters betrayer, Mrs.
Gaines stated, almost provoked an en-
counter between Bywaters and Mr.
Gaines, which was only averted by
Bywaters going TO Viola's bedroom.

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields Of Wheat and
Good Prices.
pundurn. sask., sept. 30, 1sOs.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern
ment Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
l promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat,
Well, | finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average Of
43K bushels per acre-testing 64h
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was good sample when
tell you that have already sold 1000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
If you remember 1 pointed out to
you a half section lying just west OF
our house and joining my upper quar-

farms in western Canada. / am very
glad to be able to tell you that now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this. l
may just say that have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to The best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
so you see "old Indiana" is holding the
ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,
n. e. BAUMINK.

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm
possible for the senate employees tU
tell them apart.

ON THE FIRST VOTE
THOSE OPPOSED TO MEASURE
STRONG ENOUGH TO WIN.
FINAL RESULT GIVES II MAJORITY
Vote On the Littauer Substitute Was
Defeated On the First Vote BY
154 to 161.

Washington, March 2.-It has been
years since the house was the scene
of so royal battle-three hours of
the fiercest contest-between the two
great parties, as it witnessed here Fri
day, over the ship subsidy bill. The
bill was passed, but not until after it
had been once defeated, and this fact
in itself shows how close the align
ment was.
When the first vote disclosed ma
jority against the measure the demo-
Gratis and their republican allies made
the house ring with their cheers.
There were several roll calls before
the final favorable result was secured.
The vote on the Littauer substitute
was defeated on the first vote-ayes
154, nays 161.
The democrats could not retain their
lead, however, for on a vote TO lay
on the table a motion to reconsider,
the opponents of the ship subsidy
were defeated, 156 to 159, and the vote
to reconsider the first vote was adopt
cd, 164 to 154.
Desertlons Began On Final Vote.
Then there were other votes, but
Immediately after the first ballot de-
sertions began and on the final vote
to pass the bill as amended the work
done by the republicans during the
height of the battle was made mani
fest.
Fifty-two republicans voted with the
democrats on the first roll-call.
On motion of Mr.. Williams to lay
the motion to reconsider on the table
so republicans voted with the demo
Gratis; on the vote to adopt the sub
stitute there were AS insurgents" and
on its final passage Al.
Four steamship lines are to be sub
sidized under the measure, and all Of
these are to sail for South American
ports.
One Is to be from the Atlantic coast
to Brazil, a second from the Atlantic
coast TO Argentine, a third between
the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, and the
fourth from the Pacific coast to tha
[sthmus Of Panama, Peru and Chilli.
The annual subsidy for each line is
to be $300,0O0 for monthly mail SER
vice or 100000 for fortnightly SER
vice, excepting the Argentine line,
which is to have 100000 for a month
Iy service or 100000 for fortnightly
service.
No American cities are named as
ports from which any of the lines are
to start, and the bill is so worded that
the line in the Pacific to South Amer
lea can touch at any number Of ports
