TAFT ALSO SCORED.

Senator Foraker took a fling at the
president yesterday and, in forcible
language, described the various illegal
acts of the occupant of the White
House in connection with the shooting
up of Brownsville. Tex, by the eolored
soldiers of the Twenty-ffth infantry.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Ohio
statesman has personal grievance, it
must be admitted that he makes out a
pretty strong case.
The most interesting feature of the
speech of Mr.. Foraker is where he
couples the name of Mr.. Taft with that
OF Roosevelt in charge of the illegal
diversion of public funds. MIR. Taft. it
seems, wrote a letter to the president
while secretary Of war advocating the
employment of private detectives TO be
put upon the trail of the colored SOL
diers. The detectives were duly en-
ployed, and are still upon the payroll.
An expense of $4,000 has been incurred.
and the results are nil so far as fasten-
ing the guilt upon any individuals is
concerned. Mr.. Foraker denounces the
use of detectives in this manner as
"atrocious, shocking and revolving"
and the president-eieet shares the blame
with his sponsor
With the retirement of Senator For
aker at the close of his present term the
Brownsville matter win probably be
dropped, but until the fourth of March
arrives the country will doubtless hear
from him from time TO time.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The first message of Cor ernOr Will
liam Spry was read to the legislature,
aud ranks with the state papers Of
President Roosevelt in the aggregate
number OF words used. The governor
reviews existing conditions in Utah,
and finds a degree OF prosperity exist
Ing it, advance of most of her sister
states The various institutions are
fourishing. and recommendation are
made for their further upbuilding.
The governor takes occasion to make
a few remarks concerning the issuance
Of bonds by Salt Lake City. and would
have the legislature look into the mat
ter and impose restrictions.
There is a chapter upon the assess
ment of property and the governor
favors township organization for the
purpose of securing more honest sys-
TEN of taxation. In his connection,
mention is made of the fact that dur
ing the year 1905 the state board Of
sheep commissioners inspected $4,000
more sheep than were accounted for by
the assessors of the various counties,
by reason of which omission the rev.
enues were $4,000 short. The assertion
is made that a similar condition IRE

The governor does not attempt to an

be disappointed, as the new executive
ducked ard lodged this important mat
ter on the threshold of his career.
Attention is called to the report of the
state chemist, but nothing is said about
the enactment of pure food law.
One reform measure Of great imp,r-
lance finds favor. and a recommended
ten is made for the establishment Of
an Independent insurance department
ana the creation of the office Of state
commissioner of insurance, together
with a thorough and wise revision of
the insurance code of the state"
Perhaps the most important cart of
the governors message relates pri-
marily to public utility corporations.
though combinations of all kinds are in
cluded. After commenting upon the
various phases of the different branches
of business involved, the governor says:
For the attainment of this end.

service commission, to be composed of
citizens of ability. to deal with matters
of such weighty importance. The COM

A friend of mine, wishing to make Q

suitable inscription engraved upon It,

Months elapsed before the ring was
delivered. 1t was sent back to the
jeweler. The trndesman took out a
summons, and my friend had to come
back to town and sit in stuffy court
all day without the case being called.
Next morning he bribed the usher TO
let him know when the case was

Japanese Legend Of the Origin Of the

The japanese have an interesting
legend in connection with the origin of
the chrysanthemum. In garden bath.

plucked flower and commenced to
strip the petals to see II her fiance
loved her truly. OF a sudden little
god appeared before her and assured
her that her fiance loved her passion.
ately Your husband viii live he add
ed. as many years as the flower which
l viii let you choose has petals. With
these words he disappeared. The
young girl FASTENED to search the gar.
den for flower which should have an
abundance of petals. but each one ap-
peared to promise but n brief future
for her beloved.
At length she picked up a Persian
carnation. and. with the aid of a gold
pin taken from her hair. she separated
to increase the number of folioles and
of the number of years accorded by
the god to her fiance. Soon under her
deft fingers one. two. three hundred
petals. thin. plant and beautifully
curved. had been evolved. and the
young girl cried for joy to think of
the happy future which her ruse had

Twenty of them were among the 3bo

there was once a person called Bar

cious young woman. and no mistake.
She married one Roger Palmer. Earl

wear II Is said, to have been the
father of any of her offspring There
were at least three claimants for the
paternity of her first child. Anne
Roger claimed, but Charles III ack-
nowledged her as his by royal war
rant, though public opinion assigned
her to yet third claimant my LORD
Chesterfield, of whom the child was
a living image. Barbaras second
child was named Charles. The moth
er was so cruel to him when mere
child that an intellect that never
promised very well was impaired
with a certain appropriateness nc

children. One OF them. girl was
never married. She became nun

mortalized her and enriched th'
house of lords. She fattened, by thu
kings favor, on the national revenues

to the national detrment. and she
was made Duchess of Cleveland in
consideration OF her own personal
virtues. That is why the motto of
the Duke of Grafton it EFT decus ct
pretium recti.' For his Grace de-
scends from her second son, Henry
Fitzroy. King Charles refused at first
to acknowledge the child as his, but
in the end he gave him the bene-
fit of the doubt and made him Duke
of Grafton.
Lord Southampton also descends
directly from the frail Barbara. Then
his Grace of Buccleuch was in the
ducal band of twenty. His surname
is Scott, but 1t really ought to be
Walker, for the first duke resulted
from the 'liason between Lucy Walk
er and Charles II. Poor Lucy! She

boy, and no ducheys ever came her

bad. Vnd her early death was attrib-
uted to her wayward manner of liv-
ing. Strange that her descendants are
among ones hereditary legislators in
the Twentieth Century, Lord Bon
tagu of Beaulieu descends from Lucy
also. He voted against the budget.
The Carolean peers, it will be observ-
ed. are very anti-budget.
More Recent Scandal
Nov we skip the centuries, and
10 H.. nf ha
We notice Lord Conyngham's name
in the division list. How came this
young fellow to be a marquis? In
this way: His great-grandfather.
one Henry Conyngham (the family
name was originally Cunningham) +,
was an irish baron. But he support
ed the Act of Union, and was paid
partly in cash, partly in titles. He
grew into an earl. But his later ad-
vancement of fortune he owed chief
~ to his wife The regent, she, and
her hubby (an accommodating chap)
instituted cosy menage a trios in
st. James. She was the regents
mistress. and she led him by the
nose. Even George Canning had to
get on the right side of her. Her
husband was made marquis, and
her children were advanced in va
rlous ways. The Marquis of Con-
yngham is marquis because his
great-grandmother was the mistress
| of George W That's the truth of 1t.
From her. also, is descended Lord
Londesborough, another anti-budget
peer. The Earl of Munster was also
against the budget. The first earl
his grand father, was the illegitmate
son of Mrs. Jordan, the actress, and
the prince who became William "
Mrs Jordan was more sinned against
than SHINING. The daughter of O
scene-shifter she was taken advan'
tage of by scoundrel, by whom she
had child. Afterwards she married
one Ford by whom she had foul
children. By William she had ten
