New York. July Sill the rcpub-
lican political leaders OF New York

II. Hitchcock. chairman Of the repub-
licau nationa! committee, hoped TO
draw from the Tat panager an ex-
preston of opinion as to the wisdom Of
rcHominating Governor Hughes for a
second term or of turning him down.
/ they were keenly disappointed Prac-
I tically the entire day was spent by Mr..
/ Hitchcock in listening to state leaders
eXpound their views on the governor
ship question, but he told them all that
it was not part OF his duties TO pick
candidates for state tickets He said
that he would not consent to take any
part In purely state campaigns SO long
as no party breach that might endan-
ger the national ticket was threat
encd.
Not only did Mr. Hitchcock conceal
his own preference in regard to the
governorship, but he successfully elud-
ed every effort ON the part of his cali
ers to learn whether President Roosc-
volt and Judge Tatt were in favor Of
the denomination of Governor Hughes.
He said he had not discussed the sub
tect with Judge Taft at Cincinnati,
nor had he received amy communica-
ton from Mr.. Roosevelt regarding the
matter
Among the leaders who saw MI
Hitchcock were Timothy l.. Woodruff.

The properly authorized American
flag contains new star on its field

of the past. first appears on the flag

The progress of 1872 years of Am

LODGE QUARTERS
TO Be IMPROVED
New Club Rooms Will be Added in
! Masonic Temple, and Location OF
Dining Room Changed.

Trio lodge, No. 81, A. F. & A. M,
at itss reguiar meeting this week, was
the first of the Masonic bodies of the
city to take action on the movement
on foot for improvements in the Ma
sonic Temple quarters. The lodge
voted to approve proposition from
the owners of its present quarters in
the Rock Island National bank build
ing, referred to the different bodies by
the Masonic board of control. The
proposition made contemplates the en-
largement of the Masonic rooms by
the addition to the rooms adjoining on
the west, over the Ullemeyer store.
This added portion is to be converted
into dining room to replace the pres.
ent dining room, and the room now
used for dining room and kitchen
purposes is to be remodeled and con-
verted into club rooms. The present
lodge hall and parlors win not be
changed under this arrangement, but
the members will be provided with
fine new club rooms. The proposition
will be voted on at the regular meet
ings of the other Masonic bodies this
month
TIL plans for the purchase of build
ing for Masonic purposes has been
abandoned, it seems. by the board OF
control and only the proposition for
the enlargement of the present rooms

The Automobile Slaughter.

The Chicago Tribune reports the
number of automobile fatalities since
January l as rs killed, 418 seriously
injured. IF this rate should be kept
up" the Tribune says, 1.-The total rec
ord of the year will exceed that of last
year, whereas, with the Increased ex-
|perience in running and caring for the
machines and the greater degree OF
perfection in their construction, the
number of fatalities should have been
diminished The Tribune does not
seem to take into sufficient account
the great increase in the number of
automobiles in use. comments the
Philadelphia Record. More autos.
more killings. 1t is right, however, in
saying that lit is not the fault of the
machines, but of their drivers, that so
many accidents occur. The automo-
bile is comparatively as safe as any
other vehicle when not managed ig.
norantly or recklessly. 1t is the speed
mania and love of excitement which
is mainly responsible for automobile
accidents" There is absolutely no
cure for human recklessness. The
greater the danger the greater the
cure. A check, however. may doubt
less be given to undue increase of IA
talities by statutory regulation as to
speed and the imposition of penalties
Tor auto manslaughter sufficiently de-
torrent to inspire caution.
The automobile is valuable addi-
ton to the number of contrivances of
transportation. 1t has the invaluable
| quality of mobility for use in what
ever direction there are common high
ways. Unless something better shall
be devised TO supplant it in Lwblic use
| the number of automobiles viii, be
greatly increased from year 10 year
The laws must. therefore, be shaped
to obviate as far as possible whatever
| added danger is incurred.

Two UoIy Snakes,

These two snakes. the hamadryad
and the cobra. cause the great annual
death roll of India from snake bite.
about $4,000 people last year. One rea
son for this great death roll is that
HindOos and Buddhists will not kill
the snakes, as it is against their reli
gion to take life. The cobra will go
away from you usually. except in the
nesting season, and then he will attack
you on sight if you disturb him or his
mate. 1t is lat this time that so many
deaths take place among the Malays
and Siamese, as it is coincident with
the rice planting season, and the peas
ants are busily at work in the rice
fields. The cobra will bite under wa.
ter. and many people are bitten on the
foot or heel while planting rice. Death
usually takes place in an hour or less.

The New Supreme Court.

One important item which has been
largely lost sight of in the flood of po-
litical interests is the fact that the
practically a new supreme court. Four,
if rot five, of the present nine su

within the next two years. In fact, 1,
is generally understood that they are
anxious to retire now, # they could
only be sure what kind of men their
successors would be. Two of them,
Fuller and Peckham, are democrats,
and have been waiting for years Tor
a democratic president to fill their
places. Four judges, Brewer. Harlan,
Fuller and Peckham, are likely to go
out soon. Likewise Judges Harlan and
Brewer would like to be followed by
republicans.
A question has been raised wheth.

may not solidify the business inter.

those wages are cut 10 per cent, though
there is no reduction of prices or of
