NO BREAK IN HIS CABINET,
ROOSEVELT DECLARES

out OF the meeting Of the national, COM
mittee which convinced him that there
was still some doubt in the minds of some
people that President Roosevelt was not
be considered as a possible candidate.
fhe Taft men had been complaining TO
the president that the Cortelyou men
were taking advantage of the situation to
get Roosevelt votes that would later be
turned over to Cortelyou.
Secretary Corteyou does not think that
President Roosevelt Is a factor In the
contest. and has not thought so since the
president first made known HIS intention
TO retire at the close OF the present term.
The secretary was not Informed prior to
the presidents announcement that he
would make It, and did not. therefore.
know his precise reasons for doing so.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Cor
telyou have a perfect understanding, and
have had all along The president knows
that he cannot dictate Mr.. Cortelyou's
course after he himself ceased TO be a
candidate. Mr. Cortelyou is loyal to Mr..
Roosevelt and to his administration but
with the president out of the field he feels
free TO favor whom he sees fit. without
regard TO the presidents candidate. Sec
retary Taft. or anybody else.
Secretary Cortelyou realizes that with
President Roosevelt out OF IL he is just
as likely TO get the New York delegation
as anybody else. and his friends are ac-
tive i'm his behalf There is no organizs-
tion In New York state for anybody, al
though Gov Hughes friends are active
upstate" The friends OF Mr. Cortelyou
do not believe that the governor will be
as strong as IL has generally been sup
posed.
While these statements undoubtedly
| represent accurately the views OF both
| the president and Secretary Cortelyou, II
cannot be denied that the impression Z:
fixed In washington that the president,
announcement was hastened by the desir,
to head off Cortelyou in the interest o.

ABOUT CHRISTMAS

We would like to impress on our patrons that
with the settled cold weather there is not the risk
in buying carly for the holiday that there is at
Thanksgiving.
Again, the Turkeys and all other kinds or poul-
try come to the market in better condition to keep
If you have the right sort of place in which
to keep it, and the weather is fairly cold it is wise
to buy your Turkey several days ahead.
AS to Dry Fruits, Vegetables that have keep
ing qualities, canned goods -four and all dry gro-
ceries. why not buy them tomorrow the next,
leaving only the perishable fruits and vegetables
and the meats and poultry to be provided later.
You will save yourself and us, too. much of
the care that late buying of everything, by every
body, involves.

EXPERIMENTING WITH
"ONE-END" TROLLEYS

Attleboro. Dec 16.-The Interstate Com
solidated Street Railway company Is ex-
perimenting with some "one end" cars
between Attleboro and Providence. These
cars are equipped with a controller at
only one end OF the car SO that one plat
form, which Is always the rear platform,
is free from obstructions. The cars are
designed for lines where there liz no
dead end terminus and the installation
OF the Attleboro loop TO the new railroad
station Is said TO be responsible for their
introduction.
IL is understood that later the 'pay-as-
you-enter" plan will be adopted. the con-
ductors having hand cash register, fht0
which the passenger puts nickel.

Washington, Dec. l6.-The sleuths OF
the pure food crusade have examined the
whole clan OF breakfast foods and pro-
nounced them not guilty. Not guilty OF
being adulterated or colored or preserved
or any OF the other bugaboos OF the de-
partment.
The breakfast foods may now be looked
upon as somewhat Of a legion of honor
among victuals 1t is true the agricultural
department intimates that some OF the
brands for which the consumer pays 10 or
10 cents pound could be made In ones
own kitchen for two or three cents a
pound. But the pretty boxes and the time
and the trouble are worth something.
I'm comparing the new cereal prepara-
tions with the old fashioned kind we must
not forget the neatnesS with which they
are now put up" says the government re-
port. IL was hard TO tell what might have
happened 10 some of the old brands.
''They were often ground from lmper-
fectly cleaned grain. I'm small and incon.
vcnient mills where II was hard to keep
out dirt. and were commonly sold from
bins and barrels into which dust could
easily find way.
CLEAN AND FRESH
I'm the modern mill cleanliness is found
to be the best policy and the neat, al
most alright paper and cardboard pack
ages in which the foods are sold are as
rule. an assurance 10 the purchaser that
they reach him clean and fresh.
I'm some OF the manufactures the prep
aration of the cereal food seems almost
perfection as regards cleanliness. IL
should not be forgotten that breakfast
cereals OF all sorts are usually free from
harmful aduiterants.
Judged by their chemical composition
alone-that Is. by the total amount of
nutriments furnished OF the six most i'm
portant cereal grains. namely wheat. oats.
rice. corn, rye and barley--oats appear to
furnish the nutrients In better proper
tions than the other cereals.
Wheat ranks very close 10 oats. and
corn next to wheat.
Corn and its preparations are rich I'm
carbohydrates and fat. but are slightly
less digestible than the other cereals. Rice
Is poor In protein. but remarkably free
from crude fibre. and consequently fur

Carbohydrates.
Barley contains a fair proportion OF
nutrients and is moderately digestible.

MANY CITIES
OBJECT TO POPULA-
TON STATISTICS.
ST. Louis and Other Big
Towns
Claim They Have Been
Cheated - Director
North Thinks They
are Reliable.

washington. March 31.--Judging
from information received here a
great hullabaloo has been raised IN
many lareg cities through the United
states over the population for 1906
as compared with the official returns
for 1900, recently made public by the
director of the census. From the
Pacific coast comes wall OF protest
10 the director of the census OF the
claiming that his estimate OF the
number OF the Inhabitants of that city
ia 1OO,0 600 behind the actual hgures
OF that city. st. Louis claims a pop
ulation OF more than 100000, whereas
Director North announced to the
world that II was but 6i9,34o. kan''
sas City loudly shouted that 226,OOo
people reside within It's corporate
limits. Director North estimates that
the hustling Missouri city had a pop
ulation OF 1885 is 1906. Up to date
New York City has registered no kick
against the census figures. The pop
ulation OF the greater city last year,
according to Director North, was A.
1903.
"our estimates are made In ac-
cordance with the provisions OF a law
of Congress" .said census Official.
"We cannot revise them at the whim
OF this or that city. Fourteen states
OF the union have taken censuses since
the. last federal census in 1900. A
comparison OF the returns In the four
teen states with our estimates for
the same year shows that. although
IN individual cases. the computations
OF the census bureau may be wide
of the truth, In q majority OF In
stances they approach the actual hg-
ures very closely. The total popula-
tion of the fourteen states which
have taken a census since the last
federal census was 26,26S.S77. accord
ing TO their own figures, and 26,204,-
1852 as estimated. II all allowances
be made for errors In enumerating,
which In many cases amount to 2
per cent. the slight difference Of 5s.-
1l5, or 0.6 per cent between the esti-
mate and the census returns is bal
nEced. The estimates can therefore
be accepted as the best substitute for
an actual census. This is particu-
larly true, in the cases Of large and
depsely populated communities"

WILD SCENES
At Atlantic City When the
Students Broke Loose
and Painted
TOWN A DEEP CR MSON

Atlantic City, N. j.. March 3l.-At-
lantic City with it's l25,0O0 visitors
within its borders appeared today
dropping and deserted and the annual
Easter parade furnished a sharp con-
trast 10 the magnificent pageants OF
former seasons. Within two days the
population of the resort has been
greatly increased and last night more
visitors were packed In the city than
at any time during the midsummer
rush. Thousands were unable to OBJ
tain accommodations.
Several hundred students of the uni
yersity came here yesterday to at
tend the two preliminary perform
ances of the college theatrical organi-
zation the Mask and Wig club. Az
ter the night performance a detach-
ment of about forty swung into the
Old Vienna resort and raised the
rafters until 8 o'clock in the morning.
Then the manager asked everybody to
go out. The students refused to
leave and when the manager sent for
a policeman they overturned the ta-
bles, broke chairs and hurled stems
and glasses at the walters. When the
policeman appeared they hurled pretz-
els and chunks Of bread at him, and
II YVES only by drawing his revolver
that the officer cleared the room. The
students did not wait to go out by
doors, but went through windows, car
rying several sashes with them. When
they finally departed the place was
wrecked, damages amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars having been
done.
Similar scenes were enacted In other
cafes. While the cafes resounded
with college yells and whoops, hun
dreds unable TO purchase beds at any
prices swarmed to the pavilions and
booths that face the boardwalk seek
Ing shelter for the night They
fought for places and became so noisy
that tho police we're forced 70 drive
them out. But no sooner did they
clear one pavilion and 30 to the next
than the crowd had swaraed back

Da. and Occasion.

There has been a decided slump in
police court business during the past
two weeks but Sunday all was chang.
ed and when the mayor starts things
going for the new month today he will
have justice to hand out In Job lots.
The increase is due to the fall in TEN
perature, causing rush for the fav.
orlte grip remedy. Most of those
gathered In by the guardians of the
peace had taken over doses and they
were taken to the city building for
further treatment.
One of the direct results was n
three-round go between Emil Maynard
and Fred Rubs on the Wheeling g.

nothing but knock out would wind

According to custom the principals
ana rooters on both sides took excep.

that he was not playing any favorites

Washington, March S1.-That the
state of Ohio will prove to be dark
and bloody" ground in the campaign
preceding the Republican convention
of 1898 is made certain by the accept
ance by Charles p. Taft Of Cincinnati,
in behalf of his brother, Secretary OF
War Taft, of Senator Foraker's chal'
lenge that the fight between the two
factions in Ohio be settled at alprimary
to be held In the fall. Mr.. Foraker
win enter the contest along the lines
indicated in the defiant reply OF Mr..
Taft. The battle will involve ohio's
delegation to the next national conven'4
ton and the senatorial toga now worn
by Mr.. Foraker. An endeayor will be
made to put the Roosevelt administra'
tion on trial In Ohio, for Mr.. Taft
states that "this Is q direct contest be-
tween the friends of President Roose-
yelt and his opponents" It has been
the understanding here for many
months that Secretary Taft is Mr..

cARMAN sYLvA's EPIGRAMs.
New Thoughts of Queen Inscribed on

From the New York Sun.
In order to raise money for the Home

Roumania, has composed new set of
epigrams which may be regarded as
supplementary to her Thoughts of
Queen" These she has written upon
photographs of herself one epigram TO
each, and signed them, and the collec-
tion has been sent to Paris for sale.
These are some of the sayings:
I'VE exaggeratae everything in this
world. The church is insufficient and
we reject religion monarchies sin and
we create anarchy; history is a trifle
! legendary and we deny the existence
of the great"
IF we are afraid of doing harm
we will do no good; we will do nothing,
lamenting meanwhile the waste of our
time and gifts"
"In this country of inventions why
can't we invent an engine of peace?"
"The heart is like fountain pen. It
is filled but once and it writes forever"
1--WE never exact enough from our
hearts and our heads. 1t is only our
muscles that we use for all they are
WORTH
What a friend ones pen is! 1t
seems to be endowed with will and
an inspiration quite independent OF
oneself"
Before aiding the unfortunate we
should love them like brothers. But
how hard that is! Hunger, blindness
