In Leaves from the Notebooks Of
Lady Dorothy Nevill," recently edited
by Lady Dorothy's son, Mr. Ralph Ne
will. there is an amusing story of an
old peer whose considerable family
pride was agreeably tempered with
humor
One day he was surprised to be told
by his sister that she had conceived a
great affection for a well-known al
though somewhat eccentric man of
science, who. although generally es-
teemed, was of very humble Semitic
origin.
Not quite determined as to what
course Of action he shoulG take, he
sent for the prospective bridegroom
with the intention of talking matters
over. After some conversation, he
said:
"And now, sir, should like to know
something about your family"
Il think" replied the other, that it
will be sufficient to say that | am of
the descent Of the illustrious blood Of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"
"Oh," said the peer, "of course our
family has nothing to compare with
that. If my sister likes you, you had
better take er."-Youth's Compan-
ion

STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK,
Twisted All Four Masts of Schooner
James B. Drake.

The four-masted schooner James b.
Drake is at McPhee's shipyard in Bos-
ton undergoing repairs for one of the
most peculiar accidents in the history
Of navigation
While cruising in southern waters
the schooner was caught in a cyclonic
storm which revolved around the YES
sci in such a manner that all four of
her masts we're twisted in their steps.
When the ship carpenters tnvesugat-
ed the schooner preparatory to begin
ming their work they could scarcely
believe their eyes. Plainly some ro-
tary motion of wind and storm had
caught the poles in a leverage, fore
ing them just half way around No
explanation is offered for the masts
not coming out of the vessel. Ali four
are standing and have been carrying
sail all the way to port No other dam
age was received during the storm,
and although the masts were turned
they were not injured in the least.
The accident is the first Of its kind
in the memories OF the oldest navigat-
ors about the harbor They say that
of an the freaky gales reported Of the
tropics this is the strangest, and many
refused TO believe the story until they
had visited the yard and viewed the
schooner Observation-Disclosures Tran

There is some discussion here to-
day Of the position alleged to have
been taken by Senator Hopkins, OF
illinois, that TIE policies OF the presi-
Dental candidate, so far as they are
not contained in the party platform,
are not binding on the party. TAFT
declined to make the matter a con-
troversial one. Ii may be said, how
ever, that attention is called to the
fact that the rate bill that was rec
commended to congress by Roosevelt
was not specifically approved by the
republican platform of 1904, but that
II was adopted by republican con-
gress on his recommendation.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION,

Latest reports from the repub lican national convention say that Col. Powell and Judge Sloan were seated by the creden- tials committee, conforming tC the decision of the national com lnittee. Col. Powell was the choice of the Arizona anti-in- structionists, and though non committal, was supposed to ia 1or Taft. Judge Sloan was named by both the Kibbey and so-called regular" conventions, and is Taft man. No mention is made of the four provisional Arizona delegates, although the three contesting delegations from New Mexico were seated, with one third of vote each.
 In the course of Permanent Chairman Lodges address, a ref erence to President Roosevelt as the most abused and nest pop ular man in the United States caused remarkable deinonsira- tion, lasting forty-tve minutes.
 Taft will be nominated, the only uncertainty being the con ventiou's coice for vice-president, which seems to lie between Cum mins or Deliver of Iowa, Fair banks, and Sherman of New York. Cummins seems to be in the lead

Penitertlary For TicKelIigon.

al. !. McKeliigon, known to many people here, was recently sentenced to d term Of ten years in the l.cvada pehi- tentiary for murder. McKelligon was q former PhoeniN saloonkeeper, and sey- eral years ago killed Mexican there who was creating trouble in his saloon, and had previously killed man in Texas. The story of the Nevada murder a~ told by the papers of that state is in brief ss follo7o:
 McZelli2ca had sQuatt1d upor an u-- occupied -ot n GoldEeN, and had put up tena and installed for a temporary saloon.
 One day q prospector who had a claim upon the property came down from the hills and was surprised to find the inn provements which had been made upon it. He entered the tent in the absence of Mckelligon and began throwing the contents of it out into the street. While he was so engaged McKelligon return ed, armed with a shotgun. The pros pector was not aware Of his approach, but was stepping over to pick sone- thing else up to throw into the street when the shot was fired. He died al most instantly.
 The arrest of McKelligon was quick

Representative John ". Weeks, of Massachusetts, @ mem ber oi She new Finance Commission and of the House Banking and Cur Eency Committee, is of the opin- ion that Congress will not get a report from the new Commission until late in 1909, when the 61st Congress is in session. The work of the commission is one of the most comprehensive ever under taken by any similar body and involves an investigation of the leading financial systems of the world, which means an enormous amount of work. In replying to Senator La Toilette objections that the terms of the bill are too broad in allowing "any securi- ties" to be deposited for emer- gency currency, Mr. Weeks said "Such criticisms of that particu- lar feature of the bills are due to prejudice and lack of knowledge rather than to sound. business reasons. In taking out clearing house certificates in the past, banks have always hypotheca- ted their best securities, and there is no reason to suppose they will not continue to follow shat policy"

Evidently the members of the Republican National Committee have been so closely engaged with tho contests that they have had little time to consider the question of q second man for the ticket. Generally speaking, how ever, the greatest weight in the matter of the Vice Presidency seems to attach to the name of Senator Deliver of Iowa, He would make an ideal candidate in every way, and it is generally believed that the President and Secretary Taft would like it if the honor were conferred on Mir Deliver.
