TAFT LEAVES CABINET JUNE 80
LUKE &. WRIGHT WILL BE SEC
RETARY OF WAR.
Wright's Personal Attributes and EH
perience Pre-eminently Fit Him
for the Position.

Washington, ID. C.-Secretary Taft
on Friday presented to the president
his resignation to take effect June 30,
and it was announced at the white
house that Luke +. Wright of Ten
nessee will be appointed secretary of
war to succeed Mr.. Taft. In making
this appointment the president was in
fiuenced somewhat by the desire to
recognize in an emphatic manner that
there is no longer any dividing line
between the north and the south and
that all good Americans are in thought
and deed one, and the president was
Influenced still more by the fact that
Gov Wright's personal attributes and
experience pre-eminently fit him for
this particular position.
The correspondence between the
president and Secretary Taft relating
to the latter's resignation is very brief.
Secretary Taft simply said in his res
ignation: II hereby tender my resig-
nation as secretary of war to take eff
feet June 80 next"
The president in his reply said:
your resignation is hereby accepted
to take effect June &c."
The resignation was dated Thursday
and tho acceptance Friday.

RAIN, WIND AND HAIL STORM
Havoc Wrought to Grain and Vege.
tables in Pttsburg, Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Pittsburg, Pa.-A rain, wind and
hail storm of unusual severity
swept over Pittsburg and western
Pennsylvania Friday night. inficting
heavy damage to grain fields and
vegetable gardens. One of the tents
of the Buffalo Bill Wild West show
was partially wrecked. One of the
heavier poles was broken and when
the canvas fell a panic was threat
ened.
At Steubenville, O., the storm
reached the proportions of a cyclone,
unroofing a number of buildings and
inflicting damage to the extent of $780,
900 or more. Mrs. George Calender
was struck by falling tree and prob
ably fatally injured. Mrs. Samuel
Prior and young daughter were seri-
ously shocked by lightning. The
storm struck the packet Queen City
in the Ohio river and tearing her
from her moorings pushed the boat
before the gale. Fifty passengers
were panic stricken. Whir!ing around
like a top, the boat was freed from
the cyclones path just in time to pre-
vent collision with pier. A cloud
burst did considerable damage at
Mingo Junction and Brilliant, Ohio.

Score another for that inviDcible
weapon of offense and defense. the
hatpin. In the hands of woman en-
tireiy courageous and skillful the hat
pin puts the boldest criminal to ig-
nominious flight One of the great
est victories recorded is that Of a
woman who. with hatpin in each
hand, withstood four highwaymen who
undertook to hold her up and rob her
in lonely street in Brooklyn. One of
the men seized the lady roughly bv
the arm. whereupon she d.slodged the
hatpfns and put them into vigorous ac.
tion. Although so largely outnum.
bered, her defense was most success
fui. The hatpins played with such
lightning-like celebrity that each Of
the assaiiants received at least one
Jab, and one man had several perfora.
tions. Three of the miscreants finally
found safety by running away. but the
fourth was held and lodged in the DO
lice station, with d charge of assault
preferred against him by the pluckv
wielder Of the hatpin If such an act
does not entitle the victor to a medal
for hcroism, remarks the Troy IN. "
Times, what is the use of providing
for such recognition?

"Miss," or "M n"

A number of unmarried English
about which 1t would be ungenerous 10
inquire too closely, have been com
planning in the papers of the rule that
all married women shall be called
MRS and all unmarried women
Miss no matter what their ages may
be. They point out the fact that a
boy, who is Master" in his early life.
becomes Mr." by the mere lapse OF
time, whether he marries or not; but
that a girl who begins as Miss CON
tinues to be Miss until she marries.
This was not always the case. as the
curious may discover by looking up
the history of Miss" Mrs and
Mistress" The English women main
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
to the Difference which is accorded to
married women. and which they de-
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose-that all women be
called Mrs" after reaching the age OF
40-would be of doubtful efficacy.
Men would go on calling their women
acquaintances Miss" until they re-
ceived what the newspapers call off
cial" notice that the age limit was
passed. The old "darky' woman
stated fact of general application,
says Youths Companion, when she
said that the happiest person is an old
maid when she has quit strugglin'."
The woman who cares whether she
is called Miss" or Mrs" when her
hair is turning, is still "strugglin'.'

The state department of agriculture
solve the problem of adjusting the
matter of labor for farms and at the
same time put dwellers in the city in
the way of acquiring knowledge and
health, says the Troy IN. " Times.
The department has issued a bulletin
asking for volunteers from boys and
girls in high schools who wish en-
ployment during the summer vacation.
The boys are to have farm work of a
character suited to their capacity, such
as aiding in the planting and gather.
IL Htner ways, all Of which will tend
TO tighten the labor of the agricultur-
list and also give the boys valuable in
sight into farm life. The girls for
the most part are expected to serve
as clerks and stenographers and to
do light duty about summer resorts, al
though probably there will be no OBJ
lection to letting those go disposed act
as helps to rural housewives. That
the idea is not wholly repellent to the
youthful element is shown by the fact
that there are already over $500 ap-
plications from high school boys of

the occupations suggested Who knows
