Carter threw his head back haugh-

The BED With the CURTAIN.

The Cavendishes have always been
noted for their taciturnity. as an old
anecdote testifies. The seventh duke
was one OF the most silent OF men. ana
1t Is on record that soon after his ac-
cession to the dukedom he was posting
down to a remote part OF Yorkshire.

George Cavendish. They were unex-
pectedly stopped on the way and
obliged to put up for the night at a
wayside inn, where they were shown
into a three bedded room. The cur
tains of one OF the four posters were
closely drawn. Each brother In turn
looked within those curtains and each
without remark went to bed and to
sleep. Near the close OF their next
days journey one brother said to the
other did you see what was in that
bed" yes. George" came the terse
reply. There was no further remark.

pant OF that third bed was a corpse
laid out for interment.

Scarcely could be believe that the keen
business man before him could have
drawn so lame and loosely worded an
agreement. Clearly where his daughter
was concerned Mr.. FoIlansbee was not
his usual collected self.

As the young man slipped silently
from the room Mr.. Follansbee turned
to his daughter His face was sad.
I'm sorry for this, Kate" he said.
Il didn't think he would prove quite

Il suppose SO. father" The reply
came in muffled voice. please leave

THAT'S my brave girl" With fare
well touch on the bowed shoulders Mr..
Follansbee left the room.
Kate did not come down to dinner
that night, sending word that she had
a headache and was not hungry. Later
Follansbee tapped at her door, but, re-
ceiving no reply, tiptoed away, think
ing her asleep.
The next morning, however, disclos-

THE "CARELESSAESS' OF CAPTAIN
 SCHAGE

On the way down the Portland passed close by the wreck of the Saratoga ly- ing on the reef to the south of Busby Island, just outside of the harbor at Ellamar. lt is the impression of the officers of the Portland that there is little OF DO hope ot salying the Sara toga, as she lies open to the full sweep of the southwest gales. She lies hard ashore with the rocks driven clear through her bottom smidships.
 This is from a recent issue of the Juneau Record. It presents picture o that for which, according to despatches received yesterday, the "carelessness" of the officer in command is responsible Captain Schage. For this the suthori- ties have gone so far as to suspend the license of this officer for THREE MONTHS. And the Saratoga was passenger ship.
 How that the responsibility for the lives of the thousands that trust them selves of necessity to transportation companies rests so lightly upon the shoulders Of those having it to bear, and of which this an expression, Is oue of the things that every so often gives the world pause in amazement. If experI- ence Of years has not taught the first element of his trade to a man who has risen to the position of commanding officer of a vessel, how is 1t to be ex pected that the suspension of his license for three months vii do it?
 Iti, les than two years since this same Captdl Schage-according to current geport-was suspended for hsv- ing run oG bis course for some twelve hours on this rocky and island bespeck- led coast of Alaska, His name also has been in print repeatedly for ungallant snd brutal conduct. Tt 1t had so happen, d that the lives of the Ipassen- gers of the Saratoga hadi been sacri- feed at the time she was allowed to ride ou the rocks through the com mander's "carelessness," he would obably have been cOshiered If not required to answer a criminal charge. Probably the company is determined

It is 80 old trick for opponents of proposed but belated Legislation to, on the last day of session of the leGis- lature or congress, to 'Halk 8 bill to death," that is talk on the question until the hour fixed for adjournment arrives when the bill dies for lack of a legislature to pass 1t. Seated in an arm chair Senator Latollette began to talk the currency bill to death," called up dramatic picture to the mind of the reader as 1t came over the wire. But Mir.

4 LANDSLIDE IS CERTAIN

The republicans of Nome in their local convention endorsed Gale in un- qualified terms through resolutions unanimously adopted and instructed their delegation to the territorial con ventiou to vote for him for a renomIna- tlon. Since the convention we learn by wire that at 8 general mass meeting, irrespective of party" this endorsement was reiterated and con frmed. The delegation from Fairbanks at the Kstchiksu convention bearing the proxies of the whole Panama stood firm for Gale to the last. The demo- crats Of Fairbanks sent a wire to the Juneau convention when they heard that Roman was likely to be the nomi- nee, repudiatIng him and insrructing that ,he votes of that district, repres- ented iU the convention by proxies, be cast for Gale, the wire being signed by the delegates so represented. Since these instructions were disre- garded and Roman nominated these democrats of Fairbanks have met aud, to show their contempt for the action of the convention, have deliberately endorsed Cum the independent candi- date who sought the republican nom nation and who is holding a federal appointment as a republican. They wished to endorse a republican, evidently, but could not stand for Cor son, so they turned to Cum.

KERN BRYAN'S MATE
Asserted That Indiana Man
Will Be Chosen as Part
ner in the Race.
is PROMINENT DEMOCRAT.

If the democratic national Conven-
ton next summer dominates William
Jennings Bryan for the presidency, it
is not altogether unlikely John W.
Kern will be named as his running
mate as the vice presidential nomi-
nee. This is the newest gossip among
indianapolis democratic politicians.
Nj. Kern says he knows nothing of it.
1t is the general opinion all over the
country that, in the event of Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination, his mate will be chos-
en- from either Indiana or New York,
and, if it falls to the lot of Hoosier
democracy to furnish the man for the
second place on the national ticket,
Mr. Kern undoubtedly wiz be selected.
Apparently the only reason for con-
sidering it likely New York will put
forth the vice presidential nominee is
that New York is an Eastern state,
but when Indiana is compared with
Nebraska, Hoosierdom is looked upon
as belonging to the East. Conse-
quently there is no reason to believe
Indiana will not furnish the man for
the second place because of geograph-
ical position.
Undoubtedly the democratic ticket
would be much strengthened in Indi-
ana if Mr.. Kern's name should appear
on the ballot. Probably no democrat,
aside from Thomas Taggart, is better
known to the democrats of Indiana
than Mr.. Kern. In his campaigns for
governor he has made acquaintances
among the people in practically every
town and city in the state, in addition
to being known personally by party
workers from the Ohio to Lake Mich
igan, and everywhere he IS recogniz-
ed as a true democrat, thoroughly in
accord with the principles of the party
as exrounded by Mr.. Bryan.
