Wheat has gone down IL to Is cents a
bushel in the past two weeks, but flour
did not hear the drop The milers and
commission men seem determined to
hold the advantage that they gained
through an opportunity to shove up the
selling rate as the result of the specula
tive rise in cereals. 1t seems that flour
goes up when wheat does, but when
wheat comes down flour stays where it
was. The consumer gets soaked and
either the manufacturer or the dealer
rakes in an extra profit il they do not
divide it between themselves. The
business of the country is worked now
adays on beautiful system.

The Nashville Students

This popular aggregation gave very
entertaining program last evening to a
well filed house. The jig dancing was
about the best ever given here, every
one who came on seeming to be better
than the one who was on before. The
jokes were for the most part new, and
some were better than those usually
given. The company is good one for

.LONGWORTH' FATE
IN THE BALANCE

WASHINGTON. Feb President
Rooseve1t's desire to hand Senator
Foraker a lemon in the shape Of a
colored Federal official at Cincinnati
to pay him up for his fight on the ad
ministration's course in the Browns
vile affair threatens to cause a serious
difference in the Roosevelt family. It
involves the political fortunes of no
less a parsonage than Representative
Nicholas Longworth. husband of Alice
Roosevelt. for IT is freely discussed
here that IL the appointment is made
by the President IL will result in
Longworth's certain defeat two years

Ralph Tyler. a prominent negro Re-
publican of Columbus. Ohio. has been
picked out. by the President for the
collectorship of Foraker's home city.
The position pays $4,000 a year and
there has been an awful fuss kicked up
since the news was sent TO Cincin-
natl that a negro was 10 be imported
from Columbus for the job.
The resentment against such action
by the President Is confined to no par
ty lines, and in Representative Long
worth's district Is especially bitter.
The Presidents son-in-law represents
a part of the most aristocratic section
Of Cincinnati. They don't want a negro
Collector of Customs. He has also the
largest negro vote OF any district in
Ohio.
These negro voters OF Cincinnati are
also up in arms because the President
has not seen f1t to take one OF their
number instead of importing a man

ACTS WE'LL HER PART

BEAUMONT, Tex. Feb. "A strange
case of dual personality came to light
here Yesterday A young man appar-
emily about 25 years old, called on the
secretary of the Young Mems Christian
Association on December II and re-
ouested to be assisted in his search for
empIoyment He told a story of mis-
fortune, saying he came originally from
New York. but had become sick in New
Orleans and was only recently dis
charged from a hospital there. He gave
his name as Perry Martin. His charm
ing manner enlisted sympathy, and en-
ployment was obtained for him in the
Oaks Hotel as bellboy.
He remained there until last Friday
Then came a surprise. The manager
saw the bell boy without his coat and
noted that the contour was not mas
culine. Charged with masquerading In
false attire, the young woman burst
into tears and confessed her sex She
said she had been compelled by force
of circumstances to don mans apparel
and pleaded to be retained. She yo1un-
teered no statement as to her past life.
The manager of the hotel would not
allow her to remain in his employ, and
she left yesterday for Houston.
During her stay in Beaumont she be-
came popular among a circle of friends
and elsewhere with parties of young
men.
strange feature of the story of the
young woman is her affection for a
young lady in New York city, whose
name was not ascertained, and to
whom, she said. she was engaged to be
married.
