In Michigan the Republican news

ed to ask for direct repl esentation
on the state central committee.
They feel that when the era of
primary nominations fully arrives
and no more conventions are held,
The Republican newspapers will be
far more important factors II party

Was the victim of the last mans

Was loaded down with useless
baggage.
Lacked the faculty of getting
along with others.
Could not transmute his know

Tried to pick only the flowers OF

Knew good deal, but couldn't
make it practical.
A little success paralyzed him.
Worry killed him.
Success, like health, lies not III
outward things, but within.

Great Men OF Small Times.

Great Men OF small IImeSs
An English writer in one Of the
April monthlies discusses the lack, as
he thinks, of great men at the present
hour. His plant is merely an echo Of
talk heard almost every day in the
study and also on the street 1t is
said that we have now no Tennyson or
Browning, no Thackeray or Dickens,
no Carlyle or. Gladstone, no Huxley or
Darwin in England, and parallels in
the literary and political fields could be
found in America. The idea of great
ness expressed by this English writer,
who is Mr.. 4. G. Benson, is that Of a
''slow moving, deliberate, self contain
ed spirit advancing quietly on its dis
cerned path"
Now, it is possible that the great
man is among US all the time and we
do not know it. Not every thinker and
doer today falls in with the general
tendency which Mr.. Benson aptly calls
utterly false and hectic" Again, we
may have many great men and yet few
who are conspicuous. 1t has been said
by students Of Napoleons time that he
achieved greatness simply because his
time was small-that is, his contempt
raries and rivals were little men. Most
historians say that at Waterloo Napo-
leon was at his worst, and so Yelling
toms renown comes from his having
defeated a cripple instead Of master.
To tower above the mass does not al
ways imply true greatness. Some crit
les insist that when Longfellow sprang
to the front there was no one writing
good English poetry. The world was
verse hungry, and his 'Evangeline'
was new and novel, and fame follow
ed. Our time is surely great in achieve
ment, great in the promise Of founda-
lions laid, and some great minds must
be doing it. One such, for instance,
the future essayist may recognize in
President Eliot of Harvard, a man
who for a generation has been vital
force in the intellectual life of the ma
ton.

Long and Brilliant Naval Career
 Ends At Frisco
REVIEW OF THE GREAT FLEET
Rear Admiral Thomas Again Assumes Command of the Fleet, as Evans Is Again Disabled By
 Rheumatism.

San Francisco, May s.--The combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets of battleships, armored cruisers, torpedo boat destroy CTS and auxiliaries, aggregating in weight aS displacement the enormous total or more than 100000 tons, the greatest as- ssmblage of armor-clads thus far to mark the progress of the American navy to sec- end rank among the floating forces of the world, were reviewed in picturesque San Francisco harbor today by Secretary of the Navy Metcalf. The A vessels lay at anchor in four long columns and proceed ing from the Oakland shore, the secre- tary on board the little gunboat York town, proceeded southward through the lines formed by the armored cruisers of the Pacific fleet nearest the Oakland shore and the second squadron of the At lantic fleet, headed by the Minnesota. Turning back to the north at the end of these two lines, the Yorktown traversed the lane formed on the starboard by the battleships of the first Atlantic squadron, and on the port of the grim little destroy CTS The day was brilliant with sun shine.
 Rear Admiral Evans, who had hoped to end his active naval career by participat- ing in todays official ceremonies, was not permitted by his attending physician to go aboard the Connecticut. Rear Ad- miral Charles M. Thomas was again the senior official. Admiral Evans has made his home on short at the St. Francis hotel since the afternoon of the arrival He rode in the long parade on yester- day and was quite fatigued by the trip Tomorrow forenoon is the time set for Admiral Evans finally to relinquish com mand. Although he will not be aboard ship his flag will be officially lowered from inc truck of the Connecticut as the sharp speaking rifles on the after bridge boom ont and their parting salute or lo guns will mark the assumption Of com lnand by new chief.

Police Trail and Arrest Woman Believed to Be Mrs. Bella
 Guinness
DETECTIVES CONFER
 AT GUINNESS FAP's
Prosecutor Believes He Has Found An other Link In the Chain Which Will Fasten Conviction On
 the Farm Hand.

Utica, N. T., May S.-The Syracuse po- lice officers took a woman from a train reaching here this morning at 1:SS from the west, on suspicion that she might be Mrs. Bella Guinness, the alleged La Porte murderess. The officers were in formed from Rochester that the woman answered the description of Mrs. Guinness and they boarded the train at Syracuse.
 The woman was asleep and the train pulled out while she was dressing and the officers came on here. Arriving at this station the woman said that she was Mrs. L. A. Heron and that she was Q widow from Chicago on the way to New York to visit her sister. She said that she had been visiting her old home in Franklin, Pa., and that she took the train at Ashtabula O. She resembles In many particulars the pictures published of Mrs. Guinness, but the officers are in doubt as to her being the woman wanted. She is stylishly dressed in black and her costume is that of widow.
 She declared herself the widow of a Chicago manufacturer who died last Jan uary. When she was brought into the station here she partially broke down. She was accompanied by benevolent looking, well dressed old lady, who said she was her mother.
 When questioned by the officers she manifested much indignation and pro- duced letters connecting fer with place in Philadelphia. She had case which she said contained maple sugar and which she told the officers to handle with care. The officers continued the exarni- nation of the woman in the station agent s office for some time. She protested that they had made a mistake and that she could give addresses In Chicago where information concerning her could be se- cured.
 It Is not understood that she was under arrest here, but detained on suspicion. Asked by one of the officers if she would return to Syracuse, paying her own fare she indignantly said she would not. When the next westbound train reached here shortly after o'clock. the officers took her back to Syracuse.

Friends of Judge Will Ty to
 Force Decision
OUTLOOK VERY FAVORABLE
It Is Believed That When Vote Is Taken In the Committee That a Favorable Recommendation
 Will Be Made.

Washington, May 8.-(Special.)- Every effort is to be made by Judge HundIey's friends on the judiciary com mittee to force. tomorrow, vote on the question of his confirmation. The case. which has Jagged through out the entire session of congress-over five months-has excited general interest. The President himself has told several members of the committee that he de- sired Hundley confirmed, and it is un- derstood here that it is through White House pressure that the committee met today to consider the matter. The sub committee which passes upon the case must in turn report to the full com mittee.
 Should a vote be taken tomorrow. cs is considered probable. the report would be made to the full committee on Monday and in turn reported to the Senate. It is believed that the sub committee will report in favor of Hundley. Only one senator Senator Bacon of Georgia Is understood to be positively against his confirmation. On the floor of the Senate Hundley may have the opposition of number of anti-administration senators such as Senator Foraker but the judges friends seem more hopeful tonight that he will be confirmed than they have at any time this session.
 In the event that confirmation is de- layed from day to day until the session expires it is thought Judge Hundley will immediately receive a recess ap- pointment
 The only thing which has delayed Hundleys confirmation is the fight be- tween the President and a group of republican senator's Ordinarily with the two Alabama senators for him the nomination would have been reported in short order, but with the presi- dency as stake Hundley, with a score score of other appointees, has been caught in the White House-Senate game.
 After short session today the sub committee on judiciary considering the case of Judge Hundley adjourned until tomorrow. A vote may then be taken by the subcommittee and a recommendation accordingly made to the full committee. That Hundley will get a majority vote is still thought probable. w. $.
