Snap Judgement Can't Be
Taken Against Hughes
VOTERS ARE MUCH INTERESTED
Indications Already That the viii of

NEW YORK, August 17-Their
ears wide open for any news bear
ing on the Presidential situation, Re
publicans are watching every move
in the political game with a degrees

Taft's visit to the President on last
Tuesday, the conference with the
party leaders, including Woodruff and
Barnes of this State, that had pre-
coded it and the announcement that
the Administration policies as de-
veloped up to date are to be set forth
in speeches which the Secretary of
War will deliver throughout the West,
beginning with the one in Columbus
on Monday, were topics that were
discussed everywhere.
A member of the Republican Club,
commenting on the interest taken
by members of the party generally,
said he could not remember when it
ever was more keen, short of the ac-
tual campaign fight.
Whatever may be done in the
way of planning to deliver the New
York delegation to Taft" said the
member of the Republican Club,
there need be no fear of a snap
judgment. The party interest in ev-
erything connected with the Presi-
Dental situation is too keen for that"

The Pelican and Its Pouch.

Among the curiosities of nature must
be reckoned the pouch of the pelican,
which serves equally we'll as net with
which to scoop up fish and as bag to
convey food to its young When not in
use the bird can contract its pouch so
that it is barely diseernlble, but when
it is fully distended 1t will hold two
gallons of water When the pelican is
hunting for food it flies slowly about
twenty feet above the surface Of the
water, scanning its depths for any sign
of its prey. AS soon as a fish is seen
there is a sudden folding Of pair Of
wings, downward plunge with the
speed of an arrow head first into the
sea, the unerring marksman reappear-
ing in a moment and floating on the
waves long enough to reveal a glimpse
of a fish gliding down its capacious
gullet and to shake the water from its
disheveled plumage.

Taft is Teddy's MOuthpiece.

There was a widespread apprecia-
ton Of the fact that the forthcoming
Taft speeches will be really Roosevelt
speeches, the President speaking to
the country through the Secretary of
War. 1t was said the interest in the
Taft declarations would not be less
on that account, although more than
one Republican admitted that he
would like to hear what Taft, as a
candidate for the Presidential nomi-
nation, had to say on his own ac-
count
A report from Washington that the
Secretary had gone to work at once
preparing his Columbus speech was
received with a great deal of reserve,
few Republicans having any doubt
that the speech, down to every i'm
portant detail, as well as those that
are to follow it in Kentucky and Mis-
souri, and further West, had been gone
over carefully by the President, Sec
rotary Root and Secretary Taft.
Until recently not few Republi-
cans in this city had an idea that
Cortelyou, and not Taft, was Roose-
yelt's real choice for the nomination.
That view has been dispelled practi-
cally by the happenings of the last
week, and it is now taken for grant
ed generally that the President in
tends to exert all his influence to
bring about the nomination of Taft,
reserving the right to shift to a diff
ferent candidate only in event of the
opposition to the Secretary of War
proving too great to be overcome.
What President Roosevelt would
do when it became clear to him that
the Republicans of his own State
New York-were not to be delivered
to the Ohio candidate furnished a
fertile field for conjecture. On this
point there was an extremely unani-
nous conviction that New York Re
publicans would be found at the pro
per time demanding the nomination
of Governor Hughes for President, and
resenting any and all attempts to
swing the State delegation from him.
limitations were general that
Woodruff, if he tried to commit the
State organization for Taft or any
other candidate except Hughes, would
discover that he had tackled job
far beyond his strength, and not to
be compassed by any influences which
he might represent.

An Immense Poplar.

In the village of Beiersheim, near
Karlsruhe, in Germany, stands the
largest cotton wood tree, or Canadian
poplar, in all Europe.
It is the patriarch OF the commun-
ity. It was planted in 1872, and
now, at the age OF 1876 years, is still
perfectly sound. The tree is 1875
feet high, and at the ground has o
circumference OF 81 feet, with a d.
ameter of about 12 feet.
This massive trunk is free from
branches to height of over 80 feet,
and the thick, leafy crown spreads
ont In all directions. The cubic con-
tents of the tree amount to 1912
cubic feet.
The American cottonwood was
first introduced in Europe about 1852
and is there known as the Canadian
poplar. IL has been extensively
planted throughout Europe, where II
IN quite favorite and is highly rec
commended for planting on account
of its rapid growth. This particu-
lar tree would certainly seem to in
dicate that in favorable situations 1t
is able to justify the claims made for
it.
The cottonwood has also been
much planted in the United States
and has done much in helping to
reforest the plains. 1t grows very
rapidly in a fairly moist soil and was
an immense aid to the earlier settlers
of the prairie states. In addition TO
it's quick growth. 1t has a large
spreading crown and is a beautiful
tree, we'll adapted for park and
other ornamental purposes.

PAINTING THE LILY.
Strange Effects Produced by the Use
of Aniline Dye.

Strange Effects Produced by the Use
of Aniline Dye.
Fashion in flowers has taken a
freak turn in Germany of late, says
the New York Sun, and there Is a
great demand in certain circles for
blooms of hues not found in nature.
The flowers are cut with extra long
stalks a few hours before they reach
full maturity. Then the stalks are
put In water in which aniline dyes
have been dissolved. White carna-
ton, lilies and pansies are the easiest
to dye and give the most natural re-
suits.
AS the stalk sucks up the water
the aniline pigment is carried
through all the fine vessels of the
blossom and deposited in It's cells.
so that after a few hours It's colors
are completely established. Some
times strange and even beautiful ef-
fects are secured by stopping the
coloring process before 1t is COM
plete. The white petals will then
be delicately veined with green or
red-these being the colors most
successfully used.
Since the discovery that the flow-
ers are simply dyed there is a great
outcry among Horiculturists, who
pronounce the process an outrageous
fraud on nature, both inartistic and
vulgar. This does not prevent the
demand for the dyed flowers from
spreading.

and tended them till their strength
came slowly back.
But the food was scarce. The
cold had driven the game away.
The lack of fresh vegetables made
the scurvy worse as the winter deep
ened. Day after day the steady
ring of the picks on the frozen
ground told that one more grave
was being dug for some unfortunate
resident of Death City who had
given up the struggle.
When spring came only a few
white haired, gaunt old looking,
stopped and twisted men were left.
Food and supplies were long since
gone, and the dogs had all been
eaten. But the lure of the gold
still beckoned, and on they stag
gered day by day eating roots and
occasionally managing to shoot
some game or to snare rabbit.
They finally reached the gold land
only to find that the others who had
gone by the Dyea and Skaguay
routes had arrived months before
and had staked all the good ground
in the camp.
Some day, some survivor of Death
City will write the story Of chat
terrible winter, and will tell the
dark stories that are only now whis-
pered. of men turning old in a single
week, of women refined and gentle
who died by their own hands rather
than live marked by the terrible
scurvy, of heroic sacrifices and of
panic stricken towards whose
breaches of discipline were suddenly
ended by the crack of a rife. And
in the meantime the deserted tents
and decaying cabins and the heaped
mounds which cover the losers Is
all that remains of an experience
that few occasions in this worlds
history have equaled.
