Courtesy at Home.
We are all creatures OF habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
ana surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character OF
both. The root of all bad manners is
geInshness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear, and drops so
fer behind in time that 1t disappears
Altogether. "One cannot keep UP the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep so
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be 10 much the habit with each OF us
thar 1t will become our second nature,
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or leg.

to direct the sociological work. Mrs.
Russell Sage recently gave $ro, 900, 900
for the work, the Foundation being incor-
porated by special act of legislation. The
purpose is to seek the causes of unhealthy
social conditions and apply the remedies
as preventive. 1t will call for an annual
expenditure of $4,000. The trustees OF
the Foundation will not attempt to re-
lieve individual or family need, but to
eradicate so far as possible the causes OF
poverty and ignorance rather than to
relieve the sufferings of those who are
poor or ignorant.

the daily press it was represented that
President Roosevelt was terribly agitated
and indignant over the reported pledging
of the immense fund to defeat his renon-

dollars of the campaign fund, raised to
elect him, was money appropriated by
insurance companies and rightfully be-
longed to the policy holders, but was
virtually stolen from them by the insur-
ance officials, not cause the Presi-
dent much agitation or indignation.

The Government has decided to erect
an experimental station to ascertain the
effects of explosives on coal gas and fire
damp, to determine their safety, with a
view to preventing coal mine disasters.
There will also be experiments in rescue
work. Government experts have found
an apparatus, worn by rescurers, which
enables them to enter mines where there
is gas. The use of the apparatus will be
demonstrated, and miners and operators
taught how to save lives. In 1906 the
coal mine death roll in Pennsylvania
alone>was 500. OF this number $50 died
as the result of gas or dust explosions.

to begin his missionary work for Mr..
Taft in the Fairbanks reserve.
1t is not to be understood that the Pres.
ident or his friends here believe that all
that is necessary is for Ohio to name a
man for him to be elected, or even to
receive the nomination They are aware
that there is work to be done yet, but
they regard Mr.. Taft's prospects as espec-
tally bright, and they are not going to
let any opportunity slip to advance his
interests. 1t is rumored that the Presi.
dent may favor a movement to put Rep
resentative Burton in the Speakers chair
and thus force Mr.. Cannon out of the
race. Secretary Taft is in the city but he
refuses to express himself with regard to
the Ohio situation and is apparently more
interested in his entertainment of the
little Japanese General and in his prepa-
rations for the trip to the Philippines
than he is in his chances for the nomina-
ton Such good natured nonchalance in

Officials of the Administration are
almost to man jubilant over the news
from Ohio showing that Secretary Taft is
after all the 'favorite SOM of that state.
The President, who is interested in the
candidacy of Mr.. Taft, naturally regards
the decision of the Ohio leaders as some
thing of a personal triumph, and he has
made no effort to conceal his satisfaction
in the success so far of the Secretary. Mr..
Garfield of the Interior Department, who
has been Taft boomer for more than
year, is one of the jubilaut officials who
are expressing qualification at the situa-
ton as it now stands. They are all of
one opinion, that Ohio will have but one
name to present to the Convention in
1908 and that other states will now rap.
idly fall into line and commit themselves
for Mr.. Taft. From this on there will be
visible signs of activity in other states in
favor of the Secretary, this work having
been delayed until the Ohio Republicans
should have declared themselves. The
chief aim of the Taft people will be to
make the country better acquainted with
their candidate and mold public opinion
in his favor for next year. The first step
in this direction was taken Friday by the
President himself when he announced
the appointment of Oliver Street as
United States Attorney for the Northern
District of Alabama. This appointment
will doubtless be accepted as an anti.

the effect of the Vice-President's work in

that to the Exposition. He is accom-
panied by his suite and he will make a
tour of the principal Eastern cities before
returning to Italy.
A more striking contrast than that
between the little Japanese officer and his
royal highness, the Duke, would be hard
to imagine, but in their frequent meeting
at fashionable entertainments they seem
to have developed mutual admiration
and to have become good friends. To-
night they will meet at the White House
where the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
will present them to a number of notables
not often to be gathered together here at
this season.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

If anything saves the jamestown Epo.
sition from being an utter failure and
farce it will be through the saving grace
of the proximity of the National Capital
Visitors to the Exposition will stop over
at Washington and the sightseeing and
pleasures that the Capital afford will do
much to efface the disappointment that
the Exposition will probably cause. Our
reputation among our distinguished for
eign visitors will he made, it is to be
hoped, in Washington rather than at
Jamestown, and those who have come
from other countries as representatives of
their armies or navies have been treated
to the vast contrast of the two places
Society has never been so gay in Wash
ington during the Spring as this year
when distinguished guests to the Exposi-
ton are arriving at the Capital nearly
every day. This week is notable one
10 the social world. General Kuroki, the
famous Japanese officer and hero of Yalu
accompanied by Admiral Ijuin, Com
mander of the japanese squadron have
arrived in Washington after a short stay
at Jamestown and are the guests of Sec
rotary Taft. They are being entertained
not only at the japanese Embassy but
are beseiged with invitations for dinners,
luncheons and even breakfasts by the
resident officials and citizens. They have
been received by the President, dined at
the White House and been given recep-
ton to meet many Washingtonians by
Secretary and Mrs. TAFT. The hero of
the recent japanese. Russian war and of
the earlier Chinese Japanese war is the
centre of attraction wherever he goes in
the city. He is small in statue and typ.
ically Japanese. in appearance. He is 81
years old and has been soldier for 40
years. The reception given to him and
suite is the most important formal recog-
milton ever paid by the United States to a
Japanese military officer.

PLUMBERS ARE OUT.
Want $4 For an Eight Hour Day Waiting For Decision of
 Master Plumbers.

Greenwich, May 1s.-Most Of the union plumbers in the towns Of Greenwich, Rye. Portchester and Mamaroneck are out of work until the master plumbers have come to an agreement over new wage and time schedule. The men demand S4 a day for eight hours. The masters are willing to give the men this price If they are worth it and pay other men in proportion to their skill or leave the rate for second class men at the present figures with an eight hour day, The union men say that the treatment must be equal. Di- rectly and indirectly about 300 men are affected The inconvenience falls mostly on New York families who are having their summer homes put into condition for the summer and who are about to ready to take up occupancy. There have been ex-l tensive building operations in most of the shore towns and the new, houses are delayed in completion.

THE PORTER ESTATE.
Another Spirited Hearing in Probate
 Court To-day.

A hearing on the estate of the late James Porter was taken up this fore noon before Judge R. A. Lowe in the probate court. The inquiry is to as- certain how the administrator, j.. Ward Porter, is managing the estate, and how his father came to deed two houses to his sisters, Misses Fannie and Mary Porter. During the hear ing Attorney Bronson, counsel for the other heirs, made formal demand upon the administrator to bring suit to have the deeds to the two houses set aside and also a gift of bank Jtock worth $1,700 turned into the estate. But the administrator, rep resented by Judge Cowell and Attor- ney Guilfoile, positively refused to bring any such action. There will oe another hearing next Saturday. If the administrator then refuses to do as MT Bronson requests, Mir Bron- son will undoubtedly bring suit on his own responsibility to have the deeds to the houses and the gift of the bank stock set aside.

ANOTHER WEEK
Will Probably Be Necessary to Complete the Jury in the
 Haywood Case.

Boise, Idaho, May 1S.-With five peremptory challenges exhausted out of twenty, with thirty-two talesmen to be examined, eleven talesmen in the box awaiting peremptory chal- lenges and one still under examina- tion for the cause, the case against William D. Haywood, charged with the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, opened this morning with small prospects of a jury being completed before the end of next week. Monday will see the beginning of the second full week of the jury getting period.
 The storm raised over the pub iished interviews with Harry Orch ard seems to have almost subsided. The public prosecutor, to whom was entrusted an investigation into the liability of the newspapers responsi- ble for the interview, will submit his report to the court.
 It is probable that the defense will reserve the opening address to the jury until after all the evidence for the prosecution has been offered and the state has closed.

Ill the center was the famous baptismal font of Santo Domingo de Guzman and before the high altar were two benches covered with gold embroider. ed tapestries for the sponsors. The starting of the procession from the royal apartments to the chapel was announced by salute fired by bat tery of artillery. The royal babe was carried ill its nurses arms, accompan- jed by the mistress of the robes and escorted by Cardinal Rinaldini, repre- senting the pope, and was followed by thC iOy uOuScuOiu, luc hIlS anu members of the royal family and the representatives of the foreign powers, including Prince Arthur of Con- naught, representing King Edward; Prince Frederick Leopold, of H0hen- zollern in behalf of Emperor William, Archduke Eugene of Austria, repre- senting Emperor Francis Joseph, and the Duke of Oporto. the representa- tive of King Charles of Portugal.
 Then came the ambassadors and ministers to the court of Spain, the cabinet ministers and the great state functionaries and others.
