ODELL PLANNING FIGHT
Talks zcith Lieutendnts about
Thscarting Woodruf and Parsons.

Ex-Governor Odell met several of his lieu
tenants at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday
and talked over plans for opposing the Wood
ruff Parsons men at the spring primaries
Among Mr. OdelTs callers were William Hapn,
Jacob A. Newstead. William S. Germain, Sam
uel Strasbourger. Colonel Reuben l.. Fox and
Lemuel f. Quigg. Mr. Odell left the hotel at
80 o'clock to see friends uptown club.
The Odell men say that they will not assent
to having all the four delegates large named
by State Chairman Woodruff and Herbert Par
sons. There is a strong proba bty that the
friends of Governor Hughes backed by the
Ode men. will insist on the naming Of ex-
Senator Bracket. the president of the Hughes
State League, and Jacob G. Schurman. presi-
dent OF Cornell two of the delegates-at- large.
The friends Of the Governor not in sympathy
with the state chairman and President Parsons
OF the County Committee make conceaIment
of their dstrust of those leaders, and they do
not wish to be compelled to run the risk of hav-
ing the Governor represented Chicago by
professed Taft men. For that reason there is
likely TO be q battle all along the line the
spring primaries. with the pro- Hughes men
working side by side with the Odell men in an
attempt TO name delegates who will fight for
Hughes till the last ditch in the convention.
When Ex-Governor Odell was asked about the
political significance Of his visit he said:
nif1cance In it, / feeling a little stronger
week by week and the weather being fine today
came down on business. Some of my friends
dropped in TO talk over the political situation
That's all there is to IT"
When his attention was called to the remark
made by Governor Hughes 10 the national
guardsmen in Albany, indicating clearly the
Governors expectation that he would not be
Governor next year. Mr.. Odell said:
Well IL Governor Hughes feels as felt on
January l. 1905 he is happy the prospect
of getting out OF office. | was so glad
over anything | was Oh the date mentioned
when as Governor l stepped OF the Execu-
tive Chamber for the last time I know about
how the Governor feels as he faces the pros
pect."
When it was suggested that Governor Hughes
might leave Albany for Washington MI OdelI
smiled without venturing a prediction.

Leaders Think -yyorkingmen Would Support

Some of the leaders of the Independent Labor
party in 1906 predicted yesterday that President
Roosevelt will only be nominated for a third
term but elected, principally by the votes of the
working people. Henry De NeauX, president of
the Actors National Protective Union, said there
was no doubt that President Roosevelt would be
the candidate the workingmen would vote for.
mo other candidate appeals much TO the
people at large" he continued. ''He is fearless IN
the exercise his duty, matter what influences
may be brought TO bear against him. believe he
will be nominated, and if he is nominated he will
be elected. A man who is not afraid to attack in
stitutions which a menace to labor is bound
to have enemies, and there may be d conspiracy
to defeat him. but it Will fail"
James Hatch, delegate OF the UphOlsterers'
Union one of the organizers OF the Independent
Labor party, said:
President Roosevelt be assured of the sup
port of the organized workers Had 1t not been
for the present cleaning up, there would have
been q business depression far larger scale
later, brought about by the influences that
caused the present depression. The Presidents

tFrom The Tribune Bureau. I

Washington. Feb. S-President Roosevelt's 9
speechmaking days are about until after
the national campaign. Within the last few
days the President has told friends that in the
next few months, to use HibernIanism If he
wants to speak he'll write. He has declined a
number of pressing invitations to take part in
various affairs of national or state Importance
Except for his determination to quit speechmak-
ing until after the campaign is he would
undoubtedly have accepted the urgent invita-
ton extended him by the State of Indiana TO be
present at the unveilins of the Benjamin Harri-
son monument on Memorial Day. He a
close friend of President Harrison, and received
from him his appointment to the Civil Service
Commission. AS he attended the dedication Of
the Mckinley memorial at Canton. only the most
urgent reasons would be likely to prevent him
from making pilgrimage of the same sort to
honor the memory Of his other intimate pre-
decessor in office.
If he We're to travel here and there the

tiaI succession is settled. the President feels
tain that he would be charged with attempting
to help out Taft" or whoever happened at the
time to be his supposed choice for the place No
matter in what part of the country he to
visit and speak some faction of party or
the other would, he believes. be certain to feel
aggrieved, and bitterness would result. 1t would
be practically impossible for him to go any
where without landing some battle-ground,
and rather than sir up dissenson or give cause
for even the faintest criticism the President has
about decided to travelling for the present.
AS he has visited practically every section of
the country. North, South, East and West, and
some of them several times, in his term OF office,
he can gracefully decline the flood of invita-
tions that pour in him. These invitations
come from every part Of the country and from
every class of society and branch of industry.
To-day he received two-one from Ann Arbor.
Mich to attend cornerstone laying next
spring, and the other from the Grand Army Of
the Republic to attend their annual dinner IN

That Awful Interview.

Nellie had been waiting in the parlor
for her lovers return for what seemed
all age Her heart turned to stone, as
she thought of him, young. slender, but
brave to rashness, closeted alone with
her stern father in the grim old library.
The door opened at last, and he stood
before her unscathed, a flush on his
cheeks and very strange expression in
his eye
Did you see papa, WHIP" she asked,
with trembling eagerness.
Yes, dearest" he answered.
"And what did he say, VIII? Tell me
what he said He refused! Oh, your
eyes tell me he refused; he will not give
me to you? But will bel am yours
1 do not fear his harshness. We will
fy!"
But he looked down into her plead
ing face like a man in a dream.
''Tell me, then, for 1 cannot wait, "
she burst forth. WAS he brutal and
cruel to you? What did he do? What
did he say?"
William Longton drew a long, deep
breath and whispered slowly: HE only
said. Thank heaven, and went on writ

An IRREGULAR Verb.

'Wbat does Beat it mean?" asked
THE man of an inquiring frame of mind
of his we'll informed friend.
Why" was the reply, that means to
go. depart, be off, take your leave, and
don't lie slow about it. I don't know
what it came from unless it is a bit of
policemans slang for Get off my beat!'
or Clear out unless you want me to
beat you!
'I am reminded of a line in one of
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes amusing
poems, scattered through the pages of
his delightful 'Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table 1t runs:
Depart! Be off! Exceed!
Evade, EvamDe!
But it takes Latin scholar to discover
the derivations Of all his verbs of mo-
ton.
There is a story of a F'renchman who
on his way to England was made the
victim of a practical joke in regard to
the verb go whose went, going,
gone are irregular enough, goodness
knows. He was found to be struggling
with this variation: I go; thou depart
est: he clears out; we cut stick; you
make tracks; they absquatulate, and as
he read it he exclaimed: Mercy! What
irregular verbs you have in your En-
glish language!

On Avoiding Evil.

The evil in the world is great and we
often meet with it on our way. If you
love goodness at all, you cannot fail
to feel horror for what is evil, as
soon as you see it, and there is but lit
tie danger of it's taking you by surprise.
One would not dare to approve of it or
to praise it. A more dangerous circum-
stance is this, that there are certain
evils of which people have less horror.
and at which the world is accustomed
to laugh Il u Far from taking part
in this pernicious amusement of the
world, you ought to weep over such
things in your soul. You ought to
thank God for having rescued you from
such state, and tremble with fear lest
He should abandon you also to the re-
probate mind which you see in others.
These are the sentiments that will pre-
vent you from becoming infected by
the wickedness of the world, or from
following yourself to be contaminated
by it-Fenelon.

Church Universal

also to make glad His children who
come to His dear house, His home TO
find their joy and rest.
We shall never sufficiently realize
the refining, enrolling soul-satisfyiug
influence that the church has exertad
on the world, in all these ways Of
music, art, poetry, history, architecture
through all the Christian ages. Yes,
and Gods church Of olden times. the
Jewish church, began this work, in it's
limited way, centuries before; and the
psalmist sang and we now echo his
words, the praises of the beauty of
holiness and the loneliness of the tab
ernacles of the Lord, those taberHacles
wherein man was accounted blest 10
dwell, and for which his soul fuinted
and longed in a place of exile.
We read of the illustrious artist,
Murillo, that he used to sit for hours
in certain church in Spain, before a
picture of the Descent from the Cross,
by another artists hand. The day
died, thes hadows fell, the time came
to close the church; some one asked
Murillo why he fingered there still, and
he made this answer, dreamily:
81 ana waiting till they have taken
our Blessed Lord down from the cross
Wonderful reply How it fills our
own dreaming souls with the wonder
as to what that picture could posi-
bly, have possessed, of power, of real
ity, of pathos, of holiness and of sane
tifying strength. thus to compel so re-
nowned an artists admiration and to
subdue his whole being to itself. Yet
is not this incident a true type of what
is going on, the world over, in the
churches Of the Catholic faith? Here
is some one absorbed in prayer before
q crucifiX, another Mt the crib What
is it all but devotion to the beauty of
holiness and the lovesof the Redeemer?
What is it but our lavishing the ONT
ment. lige Magdalen. On our Savior's
head one crowned with thorns for US,
on His feet once way-worn and weary
for us and nailed once to the cruel
tree? We do not worship craven i'm
ages, though ignorant men may accuse
us of it; but we do love and vener-
ate those things that recall to our
minds and hearts our true Friend and
Lover, and we know that these things
help to elevate the soul, and to refine
it, and to win it closer to Jesus Christ.

Especial Correspondence
On Sunday, the 1st of March, at a.
meeting of the Ladies' Altar society of
the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton at Caldwell on motion presented
by Miss Nancy NJ. Baker. the eminent
president of the organization, it was
decided by an almost unanimous vote
not to hold any festival of any kind
during the Lenten season. A tea party
had been scheduled for st. Patrick's
day, this also being voted down. The
example set by the ladies of Caldwell
is certainly to be commended. The lit
tie congregation at Caldwell bids fair to
become a model community if their
present good will and excellent spirit
is maintained.
The Altar society of the Church OF
the Immaculate Conception at Caldwell
met at the home of Mrs. Patrick O'Con-
nor Thursday evening, February q, for
a hard times" sociey. 1t was a very
pleasant affair. Mrs. P. A. BoultOn
recited two very interesting selections
which were greatly appreciated. In
strumentaI and vocal solos were rem
dered by Mrs. L. NJ. Olmstead, Mrs.
E. P. JUNIOR, Miss Margaret Davis, Mrs.
H. B. Aven and Mr.. A. B. Aven. A
guessing contest was also one of the
features of the evening. Delicious re-
freshments were served. The hard
times" cake, made of sawdust and
molasses, kept for the last, created gen
eraI hilarity. Articles of fancy work
were auctiOned off and the net proceeds
totaled up to $685. which amount will
go towards defraying the expenses of
tinting the interior of the church.

One at a time, and that well placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at a time, earth's hidden
Will slowly come to light;
One seed at a time, and the forest
grows;
One drop at time, and the river flows
Into the boundless- sea.
One foe at time, and he subdued,
And conflict will be won;
One grain at a time, and the sands of
life
viii slowly all be run;
One minute, another, the hours fly by;
One day at time our lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain of knowledge, and that well
stored;
Another, and more on them;
And as time rolls on, your mind will
shine
With many garnered gem
OF thought and wisdom. And thine will

One word at time and the greatest

And city will stand where the forest

Hard Times

miracle of genius is to make the mag
inings of one mind become the personal
recollections of another. In the follow
ing passage which precedes a descrip
ton of the sufferings of the rich and an
