THE PRESIDENT OBJECTED.
Refused to Permit Ocean Liner to Be
Named "Alice Roosevelt"

NEW YORK. July 3O-The Austro-
American steamship line name their
ships after the worlds famous women.
One of their vessels bears the name of
the Empress Eugene, another IL named
Martha Washington. A third, according
to story which has been travelling qui-
city around shipping circles for some
time, was almost named for the daughter
Of President of the United States.
According to this story. when the lire
wished to name one of its new vessels
eighteen months ago. the board of d.
rectors wrote to President Roosevelt re-
questing his permission to name the yes
sci the Alice Roosevelt Mr.. Roosevelt
the yarn continues. wrote back an equally
courteous but Enthusiastically Arm letter
stating that. although he was deeply con-
scious of the honor intended to his fam
lily he was averse to the peculiar kind of
publicity this would entail.
So the directors called the boat the
Alice.
II don't want to say anything about
that story" said the manager Of the line
at the Whitehall building yesterday.

" Mills Are Open.

PATERSON, July 30.-For three morn
,ros NOW the early risers in this town
have not needed alarm clocks. for the
whistles in the silk factories have kept
I'M a din from $50 o'clock until o'clock
No man. woman or child would have the
whistles silenced, however. no matter
how much they may disturb the sleep
Of the fortunate ones who need not arise
nv o'clock. for their blowing is sign
that the silk mills have resumed work
with full force and that hundreds OF
operatives again have work
In the weeks of business depression
many OF the whistles were silent, and the
mills were shut down. but recently the
blowing Of some of the whistles has in
dicated a return 81 better times. and last

Fictitious Dinner Party.

In discussing the various aspects Of the
case Attorney General Bonaparte took
occasion to refer to the report published
In certain newspapers to the effect that
w. Parmelee Prentice, the son-in-law OF
John D. Rockefeller. had given, or was to
give. a dinner to the Attorney General.
Mr. Rockefeller and Judge Grosscup Mr.
Bonaparte said in this connection:
II have not the pleasure of Mr.. Prem
tees acquaintance. I did not know that
Judge Grosscup was here until after he
had left. and the dinner is entirely a fig
ment Of a lively imagination. During a
political campaign one must expect sto-
ries Of this character. and 1t would be
and perhaps indecOrOus to
properly characterize them. Barring its
other merits. the tale IL wholly free from
any faint of truth
District Attorney Sims and Mr.. Wilker-
son left during the afternoon for Chicago.
followed an hour later by Mr.. Hoyt, who
started for Washington. Mr.. Kellogg re-
manned until today, but the main part Of
the conference was finished yesterday.
The conference of government lawyers
who have been prominent In the trial of
corporation suits and especially that
against the Standard Oil Company. broke
up today with the departure Of Frenk B.
Kellogg for New York and the return of

Confident Of Success.

Confident Of Success.
The work Of again setting in motion
the legal machinery Of the government
in it's criminal case against the Standard
Oil Company will be at once taken up.
District Attorney Simms Of Chicago with
his assistants and all FIVE of the lawyers
who participated In the conference here
for the past three days expressed the
utmost confidence OF ultimate success.
1t is expected that q motion for re-
hearing will be filed with the circuit
court Of appeals In Chicago within the
next few days and that arguments will be
made some time in August. At that time
an effort will be made to persuade the
court of appeals to adjudicate and cor
rect what the government lawyers claim
are grave errors of jurisprudence. Should
the court of appeals deny the motion, the
assistance of the United States Supreme
Court will then be sought through a writ
will order a change in the records and
an ultimate retrial of the case against
the Standard Oil Company in the United
states circuit court for the seventh dis
trict.
This is the government line of cam
paiRn, but the laws necessary delays are
expected to drag the case out for six or
eight months. and that 1t will be well into
next year before final action Is reached
Mr.. kellogg said before leaving for New
engaged with his own particular case
in behalf Of the government In it's civil
suit against the Standard OIL Company
for the greater part of the month OF
August He hopes that briefs may be
ready for the resumption of the trial in
September. He thinks that arguments
In this suit. which is q bill in equity to
dissolve the so-called Standard oil trust,
will not be made before late in the fall.
II this work will permit 1t Mr.. Kellogg
will make several campaign speeches in
support Of Judge Taft.

ment of Justice returned to WASHINGTON
toady from Lenox, Mass. where he par
ticipated in the conference called by At
torney General Bonaparte in regard to
the Standard Oil prosecutions. Inciden-
tally he said that the statement issued by
the Attorney General at Lenox yesterday

this moment in regard to the procedure

CONVICT LABOR SCANDAL
WARDENs IN GEORGIA WERE
GETTING DOUBLE PAY.
Charges Of Mistrsatment Of Negroes
Are Being Investigated by the
Legislative Commission.

ATLANTA, Ca. July 3O.-That convict
wardens all over the state who were re-
ceiving pay from the state to guard con-
victs were also receiving additional nav
from convict lessees for work done at the
camps has been brought out before the
legislative investigating commission IN
quiring into the conduct of the state
prison board.
A large number Of wardens and deputy
wardens were examined and testified thai
they could not live on what the state was
paying them. They made themselves use
full around the camps and were paid a sal
airy for actual work done. They said they
were not paid to make the men work
harder as had been charged.
L. d. Slater, formerly connected with tn :,
state prison farm. told of a negro diving
shortly after being brought in from the

had been whipped. He said practically
all the men at the state farm were erin.

Mas New Husband.

That merry, romping, mnsical
farce, "Ma's New Husbands will ap-
pear at the armory on Thursday, Nov.
9Th. From all accounts it is one of
the big laugh makers of the season,
and the management has been obliged
to promise return dates in nearly
every city that it has played in order
to satisfy the popular demand. The
company has been receiving glowing
press notices for clever, rapid fire
work and for the singing and comedy
merit of the individual members.
Much of the success of t'Ma's. New
Husband" is said to be due to it's
plot and to the dextrous handling of a
maze of side splitting situations. The
scene of all the mirth and melody is
laid in the Chicago home of a rich old
sport bachelor, Culpepper. His cou-
sin, Maria Longfellow, has recently
lost her husband. Culpeppsr has low
ed her in the old days and writes her
to come on from New York and take
charge of his home. His letter ar
rives in the nick of time to save
Maria from visions of starvation, as
she has just been eaten out of house
and nome and furniture by a lot of
actors. One of these
actors, Herbert Short by name, has
her heart. They arrange to
marry just as soon as there is money
in sight to tied over the honeymoon.
Maria brings Short to Chicago and as
Culpepper has never seen her
little boy, Willie, lad Of fourteen, it
is agreed that Short will impersonate
that youthful darling. It is needless
TO state that Short is the center of
mirth and laughter. His escape with
Dorothy, the housemaid, with Mrs.
Dickles, guest, with Madame Halli-
lay, vocal teacher, with venerable
tutor and old humbug, Mr.. Hooker,
and indeed with every character in
the play afford little time for sanity
Or straight faced demeanor. The
musical numbers include all the new
Ind popular songs together with
pleasing dancing numbers.

EASY TO MIX This
Prepare at Home BY Shaking IN
gradients Well in Bottlel

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
simple prescription, which is said
to be a positive remedy for backache
or kidney or bladder arrangement, if
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Stake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy, or the mixture would
be put up if asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache, as it has
a peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to
sift and filter from the blood the foul
acids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no mis-
take in giving it a trial.
