1t was stated that the committee would
consider the Foraker matter in three as
poets: Whether to invite the speaker to
speak Internationally, to invite him on
condition that he indicate in advance the
position he is to take or not to invite
him. No prediction could be obtained as
20 which of these courses will be pur-
sued or as to the probable report the
committee will make.
The state central committee settled the
three county contests in favor of what
is termed the Simon pure Taft men.
Under the state law each county COM
mittee certified an election judge to the
secretary of state. When there is doubt
as TO the validity of the certifying COM
mittee the state official is required TO
refer the matter TO the state central COM
mittee. The Meigs county contest was
decided i'm favor of T. Erwin and against
the Lindsay committee: that in Gallia
county was in favor of the SwitZer and
against the Eagle committee, and Ninton
county contest was given to the Coultrap,
instead of the Nallenweider committee.

the following is the conclusion:
The next stop we madewas as Shang-

erner thinks he is above the Negro.
When John Chinaman says he will do
thing he keeps his word.
The worst of China is its system of
money changing: one never knows
from one hour to the next what ex-
change will be, and the only thing a
stranger can do is to lay down his
money and pick up what they give
you; for defy any one not accustom-
ed to figuring occulet percentage to do
it-and, as you pick it up, bite every
piece and ring it three times, or you'll
get stung, and maybe you will anyhow.
They discount small change of their
own money but will accept dollar with
out discounting. In Shanghai they
will not accept Hong Kong nor Canton
money at the postotlice, and vice-versa.

l am nearly seventy-one and recognize that my
age has given me good many privileges valuable
privileges; privileges which not granted to
younger persons. Little by little hope to get
together courage enough to white clothes all
through the winter, in New York. 1t will be great
satisfaction to show off in this way; and per-
haps the largest of all the satisfactons will be the
knowledge that every scoffer of my will secretly
envy and wish he dared to follow my lead.
THAT mention that have acquired new and great
privileges by grace of my age, is not uncal-
culated remark When l passed the SEVENTEEN
milestone, ten months ago, l instantly realized
that l had entered country and at
1nosphere. To all the public was become recog-
nzaby old, undenably old; and from that moment
everybody assumed a attitude toward me-
the reverent attitude granted by custom to age
and straightway the stream of generous new priv
eges began to flow in upon me and refresh my life.

get tired and stop halfway and settle, with jolly
wabble to standstill its Clipped side. l tried
making counts with four balls, but found it difficult
