The aStuteness of President ROOse-
welt in posing for the public eye is
always in evidence, and the frequency
of incidents resulting therefrom is
only limited by the opportunities pre-,
sented. Here is the latest:
The toast to the President proposed
by President Smith, of the Business Mems
League, at st. Louis was drunk stand
ing, while the President remained seated.
When the others had resumed their
seats the President arose. He grasped
his well-filled glass of champagne; he
lifted it; he crooked his elbow; he
brought the glass close to his lips, then,
smiling quizzically, he sat the glass
back on the table and quietly sat down.
There was a murmur of applause around
the table. He isn't going to drink it.
said several of the guests, who had left
their glasses turned down. In an instant
the President was on his feet again. He
lifted the glass a second; it approached
his lips, but this time time it did not
stop. He took a sip of the wine and
held the glass poised. There was q
burst of applause much louder than the
first This time his face broke into q
broad grin, and, bowling to President
Smith, with one gulp he drained his
glass;"
1t will be seen that by this means
he literally boxed the compass" as
Jack would say, to please all shades
of belief on the drinking habit. He
drew the plaudits of the total alb.
stainers; he was cheered by the
drinkers in moderation, and received
a no less hearty salvo from those who
gulp" it down. You can take
either pose you choose; as the show.

1t seems that the project to drcdge

\ conference. Monday night, of those
interested with President Hedges of
the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredg
ing Co. of Seattle, and Supcrintend
cnt Iindcrman, of the same company,
did not afford any encouragement,
nor indeed the least ground TO stand
upon for consideration of any plans
Dor from the proceeds of made-land
at the head of the bay or bettermcnt
of lots on the line of decp-water chan
mel thus made. Mr.. Hedges fatty
declared that district assessment
plan either by becoming Il city of the
second class or proceeding under the
State law of 1893, To be entirely i'm
practical from Il business standpoint.
and declined to discuss the matter
| further than to point out how it could
not be feasible under present condi-
tionS. He seemed to have absolute
command of facts and figures that
demonstrated, after the fill was made
each acre would be- subject to Il lien
of Sl0,000, far exceeding its value,
and which no contractor would take
as security for the work. He said
that the brush bulk head, along eth
err side of the waterway where the
fill was to be made, would cost $l5
per lincal foot, or about 500, 900.
1t was shown that if the work was
to be done. it could be better accom-
plished under the State law, without
any necessity for the city to assume
further burdens by becoming a city
OF the second class. The State law,
which has been upheld by the higher
court, admits of the forming of just
such districts, under State Supervi-
sion, but fixes the limit of cost at
1874 cents per cubic yard, while the
dredge officers estimated the cost,
under existing circumstances, at from
20 to % cents. This limit is placed
by the State, on the superstition that
any higher rate would result in CON
fiScatiOn of the lands.
1t was decided, however, by the
committee, to empower Engineer
Willard Lemon to make survey and
estimate of the dredging necessary to
clear a channel and present a topo-
graphical survey of the basin it is
contemplated to fill, with the cost of
fiume necessary to drain Nozzle creek.
He will probably be associated with
the City Engineer in the work of pre-
pairing an estimate.

A Formal Announcement.

The Presidents proclamation for
Thanksgiving is written in the third
person singular, and differs from that
of all his predecessors in being form
al, soulless, and devoid of all those
marks of reverence hitherto mani
tested in performing SO high and sa-
cred duty. Here it is. as given by
that reliable authority, the Associat-
ed Press:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2S. The
Thanksgiving proclamation issued by the
President Saturday follows:
"Once again the season of the year
has come when, in accordance with the
custom of our forefathers for generations
past the President appoints day as the
especial occasion for all our people to
give praise and thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence, from
war, We are at peace with all the rest
of mankind. Our natural resources are
at least as great as those of any other
nation. We believe that in ability to
develop and take advantage of these re-
sources the average man of this nation
stands OF least as high as the average
man of any other"
November IS is the date set aside for
giving thanks.
SEEKS Nor THAT BoUnNE.-Sena-
tor Bourne, of Oregon, has succeed
ed in making fool of himself by Of
fering a 1000 prize for the best
essay upon why President Roosc-
welt shall accept another Presidential
term. While zeal may be commend
able in any good cause, rash pre-
cipitancy is to be condemned in all
cases, and much more so in so im-
pOrtant u matter as to remove by 4
mighty twist of party machinery the
greatest safeguard of free govern
ment, the rotation of Office that is
the antitheSiS of a rule of despotic
forms. If Mr.. Bourne wanted to ad-
vertise himself, he should have sought
some other means than an indication
of abicct sevility. 1t is said that
this last dose has turned even the
Presidents stomach; that he has
told the WebfoOt Senator that he
would not change his announced in
tention, should the prize-essay be
writ in dactylic measure, by a seraph,
ON tablets of gold.

Ill DiDDLE-DIDDLE, THE CATS IN
THE FIDDLE. But that will hardly
apply to Harry Ditmar's violin. 1t
is not a plebeian fiddle, and if cat it
be that has taken the m uch-prized in
ment it surely had but two legs. Dill
igent search is being made, by the
owner of the Stradivarius, stolen
(save the markD from the Baptist
church, and the many admirers OF
the sweet-toned cremOna that had so
often sent its melodies surging over
the devOut little band of worshipers
in that sacred edifice. Time was,
when those sanctified souls in the
Amen corner" believed that the
devil was in the fiddle, but that took
no account of the violin, whose sweet
tones served so well to blend the
tones of the sacred chant. But then,
the fiddle and the violin resemble
each other SO completely that the
saints are not to blame if they some
times associate the sacred violin with
the rOllicking fiddle which inspires
the thOughtless to dance and kick up
their heels in an improper manner,
and it may possibly have been that
some fallen spirit that has taken it on
himself to remove" the obnoxious
instrument that might possibly be
thought to embody a sinful soul! II
so, its remains may repose on the
dreary mud-hatS, or in some deep
well, where resurrection is unknown,
and it may have been that the act
has been rewarded by joyful clang
on the golden harps, such as lightens
the fall of the clown from the horse
in the circus-ring. Let us hope the
violin may be found and that it will
again lend it's sympathetic voice in
cheering pilgrims on their venture.

JAPANESE ARE STARVING
Widespread Rice Famine Caused by

Tokio, Aug. 29-Thousands of peas ants are destitute and starving in con. sequence of the disastrous floods that have visited the central provinces of Japan during the past few days The price of rice is higher than ever be- fore and the rice famine is widespread
 Flood reports continue to be re- ceiVed. A number of railway tunnels have collapsed and many bridges have been damaged. Several days must have elapsed before traffic is restored to normal conditions The route of Tokio's food supply is yet obstructed by water and the fish supply is all most completely stopped. The sani tary authorities of the central gov ernment are already busy with pre- cautionary measures to prevent the outbreak of epidemics.
