II is well not TO make faces at or
sighting remarks about persons who
look the part Of foreigners. They may
be subjects OF governments that are
touchy. Calling one OF the least OF
these harsh name or billing him
lightly on the ear may bring on Inter
national complications. Some of the
governments that pay no attention to
their subjects when at home unless
they organize bread riots or ask In
low. polite voices for universal suf-
frage, get mighty touchy when the
subject has left them for country
that he thinks he will like better.
Then his liberty and pursuit OF happi-
ness cause much tender solicitude.
They may step on him at home. but
over here they want his rights pro
tected In three languages. Tears well
up in the eyes OF gentlemen whose
breasts look like pawnshop windows
by reason of their display OF medals.
while secretly they wish we were so
small that they could lick us How
ever. there may be more method in
their solicItude than would appear to
n person up tree. II their wandering
boy doesn't get a good job how can he
continue TO send money to the old
folks and thus help to keep down the

In the annual report made by the
superintendent OF prisons OF New
York is the suggestion that some per.
centage Of the money earned by Grim
inals be used by the state to support
the families of these criminals who
may. by the Imprisonment of their
heads. be rendered destitute. Such n
suggestion is good and practical. The
punishment of the breadwinner is apt
TO bring want upon the family. but IL

1867 and bought farm on the Poto-
mac river between Bridge creek ana
Pope's creek, in what was then North
cumberland county. but which long,
long ago became Westmoreland coun-
ty. He bought the farm from Col.
Pope, a great landholder in the early
colonial era. and whose daughter.
Anne Pope, became the wife of the
immigrant John Washington. These
were the great grandparents OF George
Washington the Great. John Wash
ington, through his marriage to Anne
Pope, obtained lands outside OF the
farm purchased by him. The original
farm Is owned by John f. Wilson. who
married Miss Betty Washington.

A bill has been introduced in the

a % per cent. rake-off for Uncle Sam
upon every foreign title purchased by
an American heiress. As the United

vided against with a clause in the

ground in full strength by Saturday alter

After today no rooms can be secured at
any Of the leading hotels by the general
public, as all OF them have been taken by
the various delegations.
The crowds that hung about the commit-
tee room early in the week had entirely
disappeared and the only men present were
those connected directly with the hearings.
Contrary to the general expectation, the
contests In the second and twelfth Texas
districts were not cropped today. but went
before the committee for q hearing along
with the other five districts. The Baum
faction. whose delegates are. generally sup
posed to favor the nomination Of Vice
President Fairbanks. were given the frat
opportunity to present their case. Mr..
Bailey, one OF the counsels for the Baum
delegates. addressed the committee. speak

ond, Fifth, Eighth. Tenth, Eleventh and
Twelfth districts. He occupied the twenty
minutes allotted him and was followed by
II. A. Macauley. who spoke for the Baum
delegates on the Second, Fifth n Twelfth
districts.

OF the Lyon delegates in all OF the seven
districts considered today. This gives the
Taft people a clean sweep OF the state on

There is doubt whether the vice presi-

it is strongly asserted that IL he is nomi-

day, all OF whom expressed the opinion that
the addition of the vice presidents name
to the ticket would add materially to ats
