OLD ANNE RoYALL.
She Was Once One of the Quaint Char.
 acters of Washinqton.

aSkSTS VT VdSTiHSIOUs
 Old, queer, sharp tongued Anne Roy ali, traveller, editress and interviewer, was for many years familiar figure in the streets of Washington, trotting indomitably about her business, very poor, very persistent, often trouble some, often rebuffed, but with quail ties of honesty and courage to be re- spected.
 There is given in the story of her life by Sarah Harvey Porter delight full glimpse of her visit to ex-President Madison and his wife. The contrast between the gracious mature beauty of charming Dolly Madison. elegant in her rustling black silk, and the funny little limping, shabby figure in anti quated skirts and ridiculous wadded bonnet, could scarcely have been en- hanced
 As usual, old Anne Royall had tramp ed to save carriage hire; as usual, her errand, probably none too welcome to her hosts, was to secure an interview and use descriptive background. But Dolly Madison saw in the absurd, in quisitive. bespattered person before IlSI ueAueI Iue IepOIleI HUT luc. guy only ar aged and weary woman who was her guest. She hurried to bring her glass of water, then quite sim ply stopped and retied her loosened shoe laces and wiped the Virginia mud from the tired old feet
 It is small wonder that Mrs. RoyalHs clothes were queer. She was scarcely of a bent of mind frivolously to pursue the fashions had she had the time and money. but she had neither. Her pa per, the Huntress, of which she was owner. editor and chief reporter once published conspicuously on the edi- toriak page a notice which is perhaps unique in journalism:
 "No. paper will be issued from this office this week. We really must take one week once in ten years to fix up our wardrobe, which is getting shabby. Our next issue will welcome congress-"

The Whistle Tankard.

A rare form of drinl4ng vessel is in the possession of the corporation of Hull. This is whistle tankard which belonged to Anthony Lambert, mayor of Hull in 1869. This fine specimen of old English silverware is fitted with a whistle. which comes into play when the tankard is empty and is evil dently meant to be used as a signal for more liquor. It is said, that only one other whistle tankard is to be found in England, so temperate is England now!-London Chronicle

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 9.-Evident
ly President Roosevelt has been load
ed for bear all the time and has vel
coined the indignation of the house
and senate regarding his message or
the secret service.
The other day he caught Mr.. Taw

ing that he had misrepresented to the

Last night the president had dangl

a person than BENJAMIN r. Tillman
senator from the state of South Carol
ina, who was once refused an invita-
ton to a white house dinner and who
has been a bitter enemy of the presi
dent ever since.
In view of an intention on the part
of the senator to make a speech re
garding his connection with certain
land deals, President Roosevelt las
night authorized the publication o.
his letter to Senator Hale. chairman
of the appropriations committee in
that branch of congress of which Mr.

Some HandcIapping Heard on

Palladium Bureau
indianapolis, Jan. g..

5E
Governor Hanly was given a cool
reception yesterday. when he appear
ed before the house and the senate
in the house for the purpose of read
ing his message to the legislature. In
fact. it was unusual to see the chief
executive of great state like Indiana
go before the lawmaking body in his
official capacity for SO important a
purpose as the delivery of his mes
sage and recommendations, as requir.
ed by the constitution, and receive the
silent reception that was accorded
Governor Hanly. And the governor
was visibly affected either by the
coolness of the joint body or by the
dressing as governor politically hos
tile legislative body.
Cold Wave Greetings.
Speaker Honan announced to the
house at the opening of the session
that there would be a joint session
for the purpose of hearing the mes.

Of the senate, headed by Lieutenant
Governor Miller came over from the
senate chamber and took their seats
in the house. Lieutenant Governor
Miller, by virtue of his office presides
at joint sessions, and he took the
speakers stand. Shortly afterward he
was joined by Governor Hanly, who
was escorted to the hall by a joint
committee of eight members. No way

that stood at the lobby door. He had
to push his way through. He mount
ed the steps of the speakers stand
practically unnoticed by the members
and the crowd. When he took his
seat behind the speakers desk he was
seen by everybody. but there was not
the slightest recognition OF the pres
ence of the chief executive. There

There was absolute silence. It was
oppressive silence because it was sc
unusual under such circumstances.

STRIKERS AS sHARPsHooTsRs
Civil War Continues at Mckees Rock,
Urged on by Debs.

Pittsburg, Aug. 26.-The town Of
Schoenville, where the Pressed Steel
Car company strike is in progress, has
assufed civil war appearance instead
of town riot-gripped. Sharpshooters
are in the woods on the heights above
the works. Troopers, heavily armed
parade all the streets.
A great searchlight, mounted on ton
of the plant, with the operator pro.
tected by sheet of steel, is constantly
revolving tonight to discover any effort
to break inside the stockade and to spOt
sharpshooters. The state troopers have
laid aside their maces and ride out Of
the stockade with rifles across the pom.
mels of their saddles.
The entire community bears a grim
aspect. Both sides are waiting for some
move that will bring on conflict. En-.
gene Debs, the socialist leader, today
urged the men to fight to a finish, and
they are determined that they will not
leave the community or give in. Arms
are being purchased at gun stores and
there is fear the near future will bring
about conflict that will startle the
coutry.
During the early hours this morning
several shots hit the metal shield erect.
ed by the deputies for protection against
fusillades out of the dark. The marks
men were on a high hill about a quarter
of mile distant from the works. Only
the poor ability of the marksmen pre-
vented the loss of several lives today
The state troopers will not permit
any one to stop and talk. The foreign
ers must remain at distance OF IN
doors, but they are stubborn and re-
vengeful.
Further adding to the warlike aP
pearanee of the stockade, Lieutenant
Charles P. Smith and % troopers To-Day
went to a large tenement-house u
Preston. The place was surrounoea
and squads were detailed to sesfea
the apartments of 20 families InIes

FARMAN BEATS THEM ALL.
unpretentious Englishman Wins Aero.
plane Grand Prize.

Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims, Aug.
2S.-Henry Farman, the English avi-
ator, hitherto unknown quantity in
the aviation contest, in biplane of his
own design, broke the world 8 records
for duration of flight and distance in a
heavier than-air machine today and won
the grand prix de la Champagne-the
endurance testify remarkable flight
officially recorded as 1870 kilometers
(111.78 miles) in 3 hours minutes
Sc rs seconds. He actually covered an
extra ten kilometers and remained in
the air 10 minutes after 1880 this even
ing, the hour that the timekeepers,
under the rules, ceased to keep a rec
ord of the fight.
Farman Is victory was complete sur
prise. He had been preparing his ma
chine secretly and had not appeared
upon the field until today, except for a
few practice flights, and had been al
most forgotten. Indeed, after he start
ed, keeping close to the ground while
Latham and the others were soaring
high in the air, Farman attracted no at
tention until he had flown 80 kllo-
meters. Then, suddenly, the watchers
woke up only to discover that he had
gone out carrying petrol enough for five
hours fight and equipped with cool
ing revolving motor.
