Next March

2 Cincinnati, Ohio, Noy.4. - Early
this morning Taft gave hearty ex-
preston to the qualification he felt
on his election as president. Bust
ness, labor and agriculture, he de-
clared, had supported him. His
success, he said, should also be the
success of the country, if his ability
and endeavor could make it so.
Please say that 7 am perfectly
healthy, but tired was the message
Taft wished uttered for him tonight.
With Mrs. Taft he has enjoyed the
pleasant household of the G. P. Taft
family mansion today, going forth
only once, and then to receive the
plaudits of thousands of his fellow
townsmen as they lined the stareets
and filled the windows for blocks
in the long line of march of the
parade Of the woodward high school
pupils and faculty. r +
Taft made the principal address
at the cornerstone laying of the new
building of this school, from which
he graduated when a boy. 81 "
Taft did not refer to the election
or politics in his brief address but
confined himself to the interests of
the school which holds for him
many fond memories.
A speech to the Woman's Foreign
Missionary society of the Methodist
Episcopal church in annual session

L. An Acceptahla Clock.

:
y A well known professor sometimes
became so much interested in his lee
ture that when the noon bell rang he
kept the class FIVE or ten minutes over
the hour. Certain restless spirits
among the students thought they would
give him gentle hint, so they bought
an alarm clock, set Ito go off precise
vat noon and placed it on the profess
or'ss desk when they came in to the
next lecture. They knew that he was
a little absentminded and expected
that he would not notice 1t. AS the
noon hour struck the alarm went off
with a. crash, and those Of the class
not in the secret started and took in
the joke lat once. There was q round
Of applause. The professor waited un-
til the alarm and the applause were
over and then said: Young gentle
men, thank you for this little gift. I
had forgotten it was my birthday. An
alarm clock is something my wife has
needed for our servant for some time.
It Is a very kind. remem brance on your
part The professor then went on to
finish a demonstration interrupted by
the alarm. ~ london Tit-Bits. ss I'll

.JOHNSONS MAY
SAVE THEIR HOME
MAYOR OF CLEVELAND WILL
NOT LOSE ALL
Friends Believe That by Judleous
Investment at Least a Portion
of Fortune Will
Remain

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 27.-It is
more than possible that Mayor Tom
johnson will be able to save a part of
his fortune, and that he will not be
reduced to poverty as a result of un-
fortunate investments.
Friends of the mayor believe he will
be able to save a sum which, If prop
erly invested, will keep the Johnson
family from want during the remainder
of their lives.
1t is probable, however. that the
family will remove from the Euclid
avenue home, and that it will be sold,
the proceeds to apply ON debts.
Mayor Johnson attributes the loss or
his fortune to his fight for 3-cent fares
in Cleveland. A few years ago Mr..
Johnson was reported to be worth
$4,000, 900. He declares that he has
never made penny out of the street
railways since he became mayor, and
that his enemies are responsible for
the wrecking of his fortune.
Although the splendid Euclid avenue
home occupied by the Johnsons be-
longs to Mrs. Johnson, they Yill vacate

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov. 81
Frank H. Hitchcock has been offered
and has accepted the position of post
master general in the Taft cabinet
that is to be.
The official announcement. doubtless
will not be made until Mr. Taft has
completed his cabinet.
Because of this no expression re-
garding the selection of Mr. Hitchcock
was obtainable for publication from
either Mr.. Taft or the Republican ma
tional chairman. There We're reasons
it was pointed out, why it was ex-
pedient that Mr. Hitchcock's status
should be fixed.
AS chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee he became more IA
miliar than any other person with the
political phase of Questions likely to
arise at the beginning of the Taft ad-
ministration, and the knowledge he
gained regarding the personnel of the
party will be of great service to Mr.
Taft.
Besides these reasons the national
chairman possesses a comprehensive
as well as a technical knowledge OF
postal affairs, gained by protracted
experience as first assistant and act
ing postmaster general.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 27.-Advices

Turkish troops pillaged the Bulgarian
village of Derekeuy and shot several
of the inhabitants and attacked the

Emperor Ferdinand will arrive in

throne.
M. Liaptheff, minister of commerce,
will come to Sofia December l, osten-
sibly insconnection with the duties of
his office, the budget of which he must
prepare.
President of the Council Malinoff says
that M. Liaptheff soon will return to
Constantinople and resume the negoti-
atoms looking to settlement of the
difficulties between Turkey and Bull
garia, which are proceeding smoothly
but very slowly.
What the attitude of Bulgaria will
be in the event of hostilities between
-Hungaria and Turkey is ques-
ton that is beginning to claim atten-
tion here.
1t has revived speculation concerning
the existence of some sort of Austro-
Bulgarian convention.
Direct cooperation between Austria
and Bulgaria is unthinkable, he added,
but Bulgaria would have to resist the
temptation of a favorable moment Tor
the invasion of Macedonia unless
Turkey had given previous guarantees
of her intention to grant equal ciVll
and political rights to the Bulgarian
population at Macedonia.

of the American Steel Ball company,
were sentenced today by Judge Chet-
lain in the superior court to serve a
term of one to twenty years in the

a writ of supersedeas, bringing the case
before the upper court.
