Mr.. Roosevelt rs
ALLEGED EXPLOITS.

There IS reason to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt is in Africa carrying out in
general way the programme which
was announced before he departed
with his scientific associates. 1t is to
be hoped. however. that no intelligent
American reader will for a moment
suppose that we are having authentic
reports from day to day of Mr.. Roose-
vets movements and adventures
There was just one thing that Mr.
Roosevelt asked Of t1e American Dress
before his departure. and that was
that he be allowed as a private clti-
zen to proceed with his African plans
without being followed, sp!ed upon. or
reported. All newspaper men know
that the lurid tales which have been
daily served up,-and which lave
chronicled with much detail tao
slaughtering Of countless lions, tigers,
rhinos, hippos, and other beasts, Of
both sexes and all ages,-art sheer
Inventions. Never were fakes more
transparent or more impudent. Mr..
Roosevelt's hunting is far away from
the shaded haunts of the gentlemen
of the press WAC prepare these daily
romances, and nobody knows that this
is true SO well as do the managers
OF OF respected newspapers who are
of our respected newspapers who arc
gore under hrst-page headlines every,
morning. and illustrating them with
nnnumbered cartoons. Even on his
fster Western hunting trips Mfr. Roose-
welt had the doubtful benefit of sim.
liar response on the part of an enter
prislng press to a supposed public de-
mana. We shall have to wait good
while before we get any Trustworthy
news about Mr. Roosevelt's expert
ences in the Dark Contlnent.-From

ing. This great court is to be filled with
flowers and the finest fountains that money
can buy.
An rmo marble rotunda, a finer
thing in its way than that in the capitol
building itself, is the greatest beauty of
the building.
The most beautiful of the offices is that
which has been set aside for party eau
cuses, which is called the conference
chamber" This room costs $S5, 1000, just as
1t stands, without furniture. Until the
present time senators have held their eau
cuses wherever they could ind a place
to hang up their coats, but usually in the
senate chamber itself. A caucus is not
held more than once or twice in a session,
as a rule, so that this great marble room
will be rather a show place than a real
office.
The reason it is called a conference
chamber is that senators are usually
touchy about the word caucus and gener-
ally refuse to enter one unless it is called
a conference" This is because a senator
regards 1t as beneath his dignity to enter
an assemblage by the decisions of which
he wou be bound against his will. Really

N0ISELESS GUN NO TERROR
siIencins Device Cannot he Attached
to the Hip Pocket Ar
tilIery.

It must be admitted that the Inventor
Maxim did much to rob his noiseless gun
of it's terror when he came out frankly
snd unselfishly and revealed the secret Of
it's mechanism. II is stated that certain
government authorities have criticised his
action in this connection because the ST.
lencer is an invention that the government
might nave been ready to purchase and
control. That the nature of the attach
ment is not clearly understood by the
public il shown by the reported statement
that the Pittsburg chief OF police had said
no would arrest any one possessing a ST.
lencer and promptly lock him up. The
chief is stated 10 have pointed out that a
man with a sill snced revolver could easily
kill and escape detection. To this Inventor
Maxim is credited with replying that there
is no such thing as a silenced revolver, the
peculiar construction Of the weapon pre-
venting the use of the spencer. The latter
is only designed for rifles, and murdercrs
do not aunt their victims down with
weapons of this kind. The inventor also
points out that 1t is absolutely impossible
to silence a rifle completely, the sound of
the bullet as 1t tears through the air being
sufficiently loud to betray the whereabouts
of the man who fires II.
1t Is quite evident that the Maxim in
vention has been regarded as a highly
dangerous mystery. Yet the inventor al.
mits tina. its use is limited and so is ita
success, II Mr., Maxim Is right It is moi
an invention that any prowling assassin
would find reason to favor.-Cbeveland

Favorable conditions in crop growing sec

The recent slight improvement In this divi-

Further reported reductions in prices of

little activity among distributors and al
though the volume of business transacted
shows h a moderate increase as compared
with the corresponding period in 1908 sales
by no means approach normal. Export
demand has practically ceased, although
some tentative inqiries are still being re-
ceived. The print cloth situation is less
active, but ginghams continue to be in
good request and certain lines Of bleeched
goods are scarce and difficult to secure.

Trade in all kinds OF footwear is still
dull, buyers awaiting developments, but
stocks are further depleted. The recent
large sales of domestic hides have caused
a sharp advance in prices, especially IN
the country markets. The leather trade
is decidedly dull in all lines, buyers show
ing no disposition to operate at any price.
