the car swooped down upon a white
house nestled among the trees.
Murray helped him carry his belong

then returned to town, with a curious
smile lighting his face.
The place proved ideal for Orville's
purpose. The farmer and his wife
were quiet people, little given to
speech. They never disturbed him
when he was at work even to the ex-
tent of summoning him to a meal.
When hunger drove him from his work,
no matter what the hour might be.
food was prepared without an objec-
ton. A beautiful winding river with
incurving shores swept through the
farm, and here at eve Dick Orville was
wont to repair for inspiration. Un.
der these blissful conditions his ideas
developed and unfolded charmingly.
Then there came the inevitable ending.
II am sorry" faltered his landlady
one morning, "but Hiram went to the
postofice today, and he found letter
from young lady in the city. She is
an artist and wants to come here to
paint and to be alone"
"Well, write to her that she can't
come" replied Orville quickly. "Ill

"You see, the letter was written week

to the contrary she'd come today. But

comes. Would you like to hear her let

Before he could politely decline this
proffer Mrs. Glidden began to read the
letter, which was girlishly written. She
said that she longed for a place where
she could be quiet, some place that was
remote from neighbors, where she
could paint and dream at will; that
friend in passing the Glidden farm had
thought it would be just the kind Of
place she crayed and had written her
about it.
Some of Orville's irritation vanished
upon hearing the letter. There was a
note Of appeal in 1t, reflection Of his
own mood, that touched him.
"She evidently Graves solitude as
much as l do and so she will avoid
me-" he thought.

proposed, "and If find her presence

to eat.

The next morning as he was seated
at his writing table In the cabin max
ing heroic efforts to concentrate his
thoughts on his work, he heard the
sound as OF some one running. He

CANDIDATES MULTIPLY.
Those Who Are Suggested for Public
Printers Job.

AS the investigation of the met hods of
the government printing office nears it's
close candidates for the position of public
printer. who take it for granted that Mr.
Stillings will be supplanted. are begin
ming to multiply. 1t is also said there
are several dark steeds'' who have not
yet appeared in the limelight. but are re-
naming in the shadows until Mr. Ros-
sitter has submitted his report and the
President has taken action thereon.
One of the latest candidates for the job
of public printer is said to be Newton H.
Jones. general manager of the National
Publishing Company of Philadelphia. the
largest plant in that city. and one of
the largest in the country. He Is prom
inent business man. a republican and IS
said to possess fine executive ability.
The Pennsylvania delegation. it is I'M
derstood. will interest itself actively in
his behalf
Others in the list are Oscar J. Ricketts,
who is said to be heavily Endorsed by
senator's. representatives and other prom
inant men and organizations Capt.
Brian. deputy public printer: Mr.. Ros
sitter Printing Clerk Turner of the Senate.
Sam DeNedrey a labor editor printer
and secretary of the Central Labor
Union. and others
While Mr.. DeNedrey is not making any
personal effort for the place 1t was said
today he will be strongly Endorsed by Or
ganized labor throughout the United
States. and some of his friends promise
to hand his name in at the White House
at the proper time. He says this is
case where the place should seek the man
and he is not seeking the place.
1T is said employees of the government
printing office had occasion this week to
suppose that there was something doing
in the line of fumigation as we'll as in
vestigation when the odor of ammonia
permeated the office. For a short time
it was impossible for the workers to get
paper out of the basement for the presses
on account of the suffocatng effects of the
fumes, and the elevator conductors are
said to have suffered in their numerous
trips up and down the building.
1t is stated in explanation that workmen
were repairing and cleaning the am
mOnia pipes in the water-coOling system
and that during the withdrawal of the
fluid sufficient quantity escaped to fill
the entire plant.
At the lunch hour yesterday the en-
plOyes of the big printery were treated
to their second sensation during the
week A noise like the discharge of
cannon started rumors of explosions and
some of the more timid workers suggested
that the open air would be safer than
within the. four walls of the office. 1t
later developed that the explosion was
simply the blowing out of packing on
the pipes connected with the automatic
air compressor in the attic of the new
building. No damage to the building re-
suited from the accident and the Office
repair men soon had the machinery in
working order.

Differences on Old Issue.
A Plan to Bring the North and South
Together Upon an Old Issue" was the
subject Of a lecture last night at the
Y. NJ. c. A. by Mrs Annie Riley Hale
of Tennessee.
This plan, according to Ms. Hale, is to
start an organized, orderly. systematized
movement throughout the south. encour-
aging the gradual exodus Of the negroes
from the southern section of the country
into the north and northwest until there
should be more even distribution of the
races.
''Southerners inconsistent said

his hand on a practical plan to enable the
negroes to go to some other section than
the south. If we sOutherners would only
go about the race question in the right

cause 1t is sectional question it is a po-
litical question. AS long as ii is a pOliti-
cal question nothing toward a solution
can be reached.
We are perfectly willing TO admit that
much Of our distaste for the negro rests
on prejudice. But it is prejudice guard
ing a principle. IL you please. This pin
ciple is in turn guarding tremendous in
terests Once let this race prejudice get
off guard and it will mean surrendering
the destinies of this nation into the hands

Renewal of Liquor Licenses.

The excise board of the District an
nounced yesterday afternoon that it has
granted renewal of liquor licenses to six
of the seventeen hotels whose licenses
have been held up pending investigation
and hearing since last November. The
board held up these licenses because of
the nature of charges preferred against
the conduct of earh.
In granting these licenses the board
acted in accordance with the recent ruling
of Justice RObb in the LeCuyer case in
which he held that the excise boards
duties are purely ministerial, and that it
has no authority to convict a hotel pro-
prietor for a violation of the excise laws
and that licenses must he renewed except
when two convictions In one year have
been found against hotel keeper in the
Police Court.
Mr.. LeCuyer was the first proprie tor
whose license had been held up to be
granted a renewal. The other hotels
granted renewals were the Montrose 14th
and II streets northwest: the Chicago
Hotel Sd and Pennsylvania avenue north
west: the fremont House. I'd street and
Indiana avenue; the Virginia House. Vir-
einia avenue southwest and the Imperial
Hotel. 700 D street northwest.

the factors that account for the year

These boats perfect examples of up

the resorts of Florida and Cuba find these
