Benton and Barton.

In the Thirty Years In the United
States Senate" by Thomas Hart Ben
ton, Missouri's famous United States
senator, there is scant mention of Ben
toms colleague from Missouri, David
Barton. The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Benton
gives the roll call Of the senate, and
Barton's name of course is therein
contained. Benton undertook to pun
fsh Barton by ignoring him and thus
relegate the first United States sena-
tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton
had brought about Bentons election to
the senate. Barton was first named by
the legislature, and there was a long
contention as to the second senator
ship. Finally Barton's friendship for
Benton brought about Benton's elec-
ton. Later the two quarreled over the
appointment Of an Indian agent in the
far west and drifted further and fur
Their apart. Finally the relations be.
tween the two senators became such
that they scarcely spoke to one an
other when they met.-Kansas City

never a One Day President.

The periodic assertion is made that
on Sunday, March 4, 1849, Senator Da-
yid Rice Atchison Of Missouri, who
was then president pro tenn. Of the
senate, was president of the Unite2
States virtually" He never was
virtually" or otherwise.
In 1888 congress enacted that in
event Of no president or vice president
being ready to succeed the first Office
should devolve on the president of
the senate and next on to the speaker
of: the house. The succession was
changed in 1886. Now, Zachary Tay-
lor and Willard Fillmore were in Wash
tngton on March 4. 1S49 1t being Sun
day, they permitted an interregnum to
follow until the next day. Mr.. Atchi-
son took no oath as president and
without taking such he could not ex-
ercise the Office. Mr.. Taylor could
have taken the oath at any second
subsequent to noon on March 4. No
pompous Inauguration is demanded.
The chief justice need not administer
the oath. Arthur took it in New York
before Judge Brady at 2 a. m. and Mr..
Roosevelt in Buffalo before United
States Judge Hazel.

moved.-Pittsburg Post.

Glory Everywhere.

A Methodist minister was much an:
noyed by one of his hearers frequently
shouting out during the preaching
"Gloryw praise the Lordv' and the
like. Though often reproved, the hap
py member persisted in expressing
himself. g.
One day the minister invited him
to tea and, to take his mind from
thoughts of praise. handed him sci
entific book, full Of dry facts and fig
ures, to pass the time before tea.
Presently the minister was startled
by a sudden outburst of "Gloryv
'Halleluiah!' and "Praise the Lordv'
"What is the matter, man?' asked
the minister.
"Why, this book says the sea is five
miles deep?'
"Well, what Of that?"
"Why, the Bible says my sins have
been cast into the depths of the sea-
and If it is that deep need not be
afraid of their ever coming up again.

A DARING Escane.

The annals of Sing Sing are full of
daring escapes. A typical case was
that of Pallister and Rohlf, two con.
v1cted murderers. By frequent appeals
they had headed off the day of their
execution, and at length decided on
escape at any cost-even that of life
itself Late one night Pallister called
for drink Of milk, and as the official
on duty opened the cell door to give
it him he was seized, dragged in and
overpowered. The desperate then
locked the officer in the cell and, after
securing his keys, released his COM
rade Rohlf, when they in turn over
came and disarmed the second night
Waterman. This done. they offered re-
lease to three more prisoners with
whom they had made friends. These
declined the doubtful benefit, however,
whereupon the two murderers climbed
the skylight, reached the boundary
wall and dropped to liberty by the
broad Hudson, which they crossed in
a small boat.-New York Tribune.

Though deputy oil inspector

should be gravity test. At present
the law requires that the oil when
heated shall not flash when a match
is applied until it reaches 100
degrees, a lower test than required
by some other states. The oil COM
panies pay the inspection fee of IS
cents per barrel. The total amount
paid the state is $4,000, just about
enough to pay the inspection salaries.
Of course, the Standard passes this
inspection charge on to the pur-
chasers. Whether it would reduce
the price of oil IS cents per barrel

abolished is question. But if the
present system were to be abolished
there would need to be law with a
big penalty, forbidden the companies

At 4 In the Morninu,

The hour of a. N. has something
mysterious about it, Cocks crow, peo-
pie on the brink Of death give up the
ghost, every one who is asleep sleeps
sounder, and even the watchful sentry
can't always keep his eyes open. At
this hour people are in their weakest
state, and if life is just on the flicker
1t is not surprising that it goes out.
Many mans life has been saved by a
spoonful Of ammonia administered Just
when the clock strikes f. The period
of deepest sleep varies from 3 to 5
o'clock. An hour or two after going
to bed you sleep very soundly, then
your slumber grows gradually lighter,
and it is easy enough to waken you at
or 2 O'Clock. But when o'clock
comes you are in such state of SOM
Violence that you would take no notice

ORDERS PROSECUTION
President Upholds Complaints Of
Negroes Of the South.
MUST FURNISH BETTER CARS
Under the Law Railroads Are Sup
posed to Supply Equal Accommodate
tons for White and Black Passen-
gers Paying First Glass Fare.

Washington, April 9-President
Roosevelt has made public his letter
of April to the attorney general di-
recting proceedings by injunction to
compel certain railroads of the South
to furnish equal accommodations to
white and negro passengers The
text of the presidents letter is as
follows:
81 forward herewith the report of
the interstate commerce commission
containing its order of June 81, 1907,
and the report of the failure of the
railroad company to obey this order,
| under date of March 26, 1908, together
with letter of the commission of
April /, 1908. 1t appears that the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway company has not complied
with the order of the commission to
furnish the same facilities to colored
passengers paying first class fare that
! are furnished to white passengers pay
ing first class fare. From time to time
various complaints have been made
! to me by reputable colored people to
! the effect that the accommodations
furnished to colored persons on GER
! tain railways
| Are Filthy and Inadequate
! compared to the same accommodations
furnished to white passengers paying
| the same fare. The commission has
| taken what is unquestionably the
{ right ground-that where separate &C.
/ commodations are provided for white
and colored passengers the accommo-
| dations for colored pass engers shall
| be as good as those furnished to white
passengers for the same money. In
other Words. while there is nothing in
! the law which forbids separate accom-
! modations these accommodations must
be equal This principle of equality
! of accommodations is set out explicit
| ly in various state laws. For instance
{ the code of the state Of Alabama pro-
vides that there shall be equal but
| separate accommodations for the white
and colored races by providing two or
/ more passenger cars for each passen-
ger train, or by dividing the passenger
cars by partitions The action of the
commission has simply been to insist
that the accommodations be equal in
convenience and comfort, for the same
money, wherever the separation is
made In this particular case, where
the railway has neglected to comply
with the order of the commission, it
is important that compliance with this
order be Immediately obtained. l sug-
gest that you proceed to enforce the
order by Injunction proceedings I'M
less in your Judgment some other
course is preferable" 49,

Paris, April 9.-It is believed that a
great scandal in the commissary de-

been discovered and developments
are awaited with keen interest. It
was learned recently that the rations
sent to some of the garris ons on the
eastern frontier were unfit for con-
sumption. Minister of War Picquart
at once issued orders by telegraph
that the supplies of food delivered by
certain contractors be seized at every
garrison and sent to Paris for micro
scopic examination. That much of
this food was unclean and unfit to eat
already has been established and the
investigation is being continued.
