A Puzzled Author.

When Alphonse Daudet brought out
"Sappho" an American publishing
house that issued religious books, not
knowing its character, offered NJ. Dau-
det large sum for advance sheets Of
the work He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book, and they cabled to the author.
"'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet. He consulted with
numbers Of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho' in French is spelled
with one "p''-"Sapho," after the Greek
fashion. In English 1t is spelled will
two. An unusually acute friend point:
ed this out to Daudet, which much re-
lieved the novelist, and he cabled back
to the publishers, spell it with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudet's reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch.

Premature Burial.


Statistics have been prepared to show
that in Europe out of every 100 sup
posed deaths one person is resuscitat-
ed. Although members Of the medical
profession refuse to take any interest
in the matter, it is probably true, says
Suggestion. that many persons are
buried while in a state Of suspended
animation. 1t Is stated that in the
cemetery just outside the town Of Wei
mar there Is special provision made
against the danger of premature burial
from suspended animation. No bodies
are placed in the ground until they
have spent considerable time in re-
ceiving vault In the fingers of the
corpse are placed strings which COM
municate with an alarm. The least
movement will ring bell in an ad-
Joining chamber, where a guardian is
always on the watch. In several in
stances by this timely alarm persons
prematurely buried have been rescued.
It is said that the provision arose from
the tradition that one Of the princes of
SAKE Weimar, this being their family
burial place. was buried alive.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The political war that has been going
on since the beginning of the session
between the President and the senior
Senator from Ohio has lost none of its
interest. Senator Foraker doubtless
thought that his Brownsville speech was
a splendid coup and that it would land
the Southern Republican vote for him or
at least enable him to dictate the nomi-
nation at the next Republican Presiden-
tial convention. He was however playing
against . politician who though much
younger than himself has been in the
plitcal game since his twentieth year,
knows all its ins and outs and is the most
popular man in the United States and in
the world. Now the President is showing
lritn that he too can play politics and if

Editor Williams, of the Cecil Whig,
makes some pertinent remarks in the last
issue of that paper, apropos of the Thaw
trail, which dirty mess has occupied so
much space in the daily press for weeks
past. The best evidence that the affair
is widely and eagerly read is the attention
given to every disgusting detail by these
public dispensers of news, and yet the
vast majority of home loving people are
heartily in accord with the sentiments as
expressed by the Editor of the Whig,
who truly says Thaw is about one-third
imbecile and two-thirds rake, with bad
veneering of high ~ society
IT is only his being heir to millions, 4"
says the Whig, that gives the public a
hunkey's interest in his career. Home
is an unknown word in the vocabulary of
Thaw's career and in the career of those
who figure with him in this trial The
whole story lies in an infected atmosphere
lin an atmosphere that decent, plain
living folks are better off without breath
ing. 1t speaks badly for the daily papers
that they should devote so much space to
its details and it speaks badly for the
American people that they should revel
in those details when they are presented. :"

Vice. President Fairbanks, Secretary
Shaw and other possible and aspiring
Presidential candidates, even Roosevelt
himself, are said to be keeping tab on the
political fortunes of Gov. Charles E
Hughes, of New York, the pu licity

being to their liking. as it tends to at
tract too much notice and may lead to the

Russia has for civilized nation in this
age of enlightenment Small wonder
there is a continual reign of terror in the
