Not in Her CIass.

While delivering an address at n
woman's club an actress told the
story of young woman prominent In
New York society who desired to
achieve histrionic honors.
The manager TO whom she confided
her desire pointed out the inadvisabil-
ity of the step she contemplated and
added that even were he disposed TO
give her the chance she coveted he
would still be in doubt whether her
talents were such as to justify such
action on his part.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON, AUG.
ExcoMMUNIcATEs TEDDY.

Is Roosevelt an insurgent or a
standpatter? appears to be rather
tropic question Just now among a good
many people. We really do not know.
and We are not giving a whole lot
which he is. but our opinion were
sought we would say that he will con.
tinue his old game OF playing both
ends against the middle. 1t was n
saying of them who claimed to know
that when the strenuous Colonel
warmed the presidential chair on vari-
Gus occasions he was known to have
a trust freed in the front yard of the
White House while at the same time
he was entertaining another with high
wines in the back parlor. This is
Theodore every time.
However, the American Economist,
the official organ of the. American
Protective Tariff League. and likewise
near to the hearts of the standpatters
gives Roosevelt over to the bad-an
insurgent without hope of REDEMPTION.
The Economist says:
In thus supporting Beveridge. Mr..
Roosevelt will be entirely consistent
with past performances. No man
more so. He is the primal Insurgent.
the inventor of Insurgency. All who
came after him were mere copyists.
'me-too's.' The standard of Insurgen-
cy, was first raised in 1903, when the
Cuban reciprocity legislation was build
geoned through House and Senate.
The next Insurgent exploit came, when
the German Tariff agreement was ne
gotiated in secret and privileges of
tariff evasion through differentiation
were granted to German exporters In
direct violation of the provisions of
existing law, and when in a measure
to Congress the system provided by
law for enforcing honest valuations OF
imports was denounced as outrage
ous.'
But how about the Protection -eIe-
ment of the Republican Party? How
about the loyal and conscientious men
who stand for the one cardinal prin-
ciple' of their party? VIII they be
harmonized? Can they be whipped
into line with and made to play sec
ond fiddle to Beyeridge, Cummins.
Dolliver, Bristow, La Toilette. Roose-
welt, and the rest of the Insurgent
phalanx? Is the mountain going to
Mahomet? Is the whale about to be
swallowed by Jonah? Is the tail go
ing TO wag the dog? Are the real Re-
pubiicans and Protectionists in C.e
State which furnish electoral votes
and determine majorities in Congress
ready to confess themselves i'm error
and seek pardon at the feet of the
Man from Elba?"

For many years n prayer meeting

the proceedings, which are faithfully

year 1888 the well known Quaker Mr..

to twenty minutes. The proceedings
are very simple. At each weekly meet

Crippen's Case and Poe's Tale.
People who are interested in the
celebrated Crippen case should read
Edgar Allen Poes story, The Black
Cat"
In the Poe romance, which is in
the form OF a first person narrative,
a formerly kind husband, whose ma
ture had become brutalized through
long-continued excess in drink, killed
his loyal wife in sudden fit of an
ger. To conceal the crime, which was
committed in the cellar of the home,
the murderer tore down a portion of
the brick wall that Tonted false

up in the interior space, and replaced
tar between the old bricks loog aged

wife, he had also walled in big black
cat that he had maltreated, though
he was unaware of the cats presence
on the interior.
Neighbors and the police soon af.
forwards suspected that a crime ssa.-
been committed, but though the house
was inspected and examined closely
three times, the mystery was not
solved. Finally the authorities made
still another examination of the prem.

police, and talking with great assur

to leave the cellar, the husband. in
a spirit Of bravado, tapped the wal
at the fatal spot, remarking that the
walls were solid and untouched, and
mad not been tempered with. In.
stantly the imprisoned cat set up a
loud wall, many hands tore at the
bricks, and in a few moments the
body OF the murdered wife was ev

lapsed utterly, and was afterwards
condemned to the gallows.
May not DR.. Crippen-a assuming
that he really killed his wife-have
gotten the idea OF concealing the BODY
