The Same Roosevelt

Those my dear Hartman" letters
of President Roosevelt, which were the
sensation of the country last year, now
shed more light On the inner operations
of the republican party than ever be-
fore. Roosevelt summoned the railroad
magnatc to the White House and told
him in what straits the republican
campaign committee was for funds
and also discussed railroad legislation
with him. Hartman returned to New
York and raised $500, 600 for the re-
publican campaign of 1901. This was
all done III the quiet, the disclosure
having been made only last year by the

10000 Formulation

Am estimate of the number of regis.
tered voters in Nevada according to
ID. V. Jones, who has been securing
the registration of the different coun-
ties, places the total number Of voters
registered at about 10000. Charles
Norcross places it at about 20. 200. and
Judge Somers places it mt about 90.
600. If Mr.. Jones is correct in his
estimation, the total registration of
Nevada this election is within IL, 800
of the total population of Nevada in
1900. when the census of the United
States placed the population of Ne
vada ut 1856. If the registration is
about 10000 it means that the total
population of the state is more than
100, 900 and that within the eight
years Nevada has more than triplcd
its population. This is a wonderful
showing and is probably Il better
showing in increase of population
than any other state in the union is
able to make. Nevada has increased
in population by leaps and bounds
and is still elm bling and if the pros.
perity of the state continues. Us all
people believe it will. Nevada will
o have n population Of more than
800. 600. 1t is believed by the mem.
bers of both the democratic and re-.
publican state central committees
that q vote of from $4,000 to 30, 900
will be cast on November 3rd.

Aacicnt "Typoaraphy

The spade Of the ~archaculogist seems
likely to remake history in such u
way that many modern ideas will
have to be r~eadjusted. Printing, for
instance, has always been regarded as
al art Of comparatively modern ORR
gin. for even the wooden types of the
Chinese and Koreans only preceded
the metal ones of Johannes Gutenberg
by Il little over two centuries. And
even this claim is somewhat doubtful,
as the earliest Korean books eXtant
were printed from movable clay or
wooden types i'll 1917, while only l2l
years later, in 1893, Gutenberg had
printing materials and a press in op,
Grafton at Strassburg.
At the last meeting of the Academic
dies Inscriptions ct Belles-Lettrcs II
clay disk was exhibited having on it,
two faces over 800 pictorial signs
representing men. animals, trees and
the like. The disk was six and one,
half inches in diameter and was dis
covered by the Italian investigators n
present at work at Phaetos, in Crete.
The interesting fact connected with
the disk is that the signs are not ell
graved, but imprinted by means o.
punches, so that they may bo regard
ed as a first attempt at Typography
dating back about 1000 years.
Crude MS this form of printing may
seem to a modern reader, it yet EN-
braced the underlying principle of the
art.-Philadelphia Record.
