Pittsburg, May 3.-Any one in this
town who had an idea that Secretary
of State Philander Chase Knox was
not in accord with the administration
and might resign must have been sur
prised last night If he heard what
President Taft had to say about that
cabinet officer and the department Of
state ut the Grant birthday dinner of
the AmericuS club.
The president praised Mr.. Knox
without stint and told why he did So
He pointed with pride to the fact that
while we have had under his admins
tration our first tariff law with a maxi
mum and minimum provision, the state
department has got us into no tariff
wars at all. He thought that the note
of Mr.. Knox to Zelaya, former dictator
of Nicaragua, was a fine bit of diplo-
matte workmanship, and he scored
those who decried the mixture of diplo-
macy and trade as dollar diplomacy"

GRANT IN THE SADDLE.

Grant was at his best in the sad

made for himself at the academy, the
one time that he excelled all his fell

one, rising and clearing It with a
magnificent bound. The leap is still

PROVE TO BE WITHOUT VALUE

A dispatch from New York says:
When Canon Chase, of the Christ
Episcopal church, of williamsburg,
announced that his congregation
had donated a bushel basket, heaping
full of packages containing jewelry
at Sundays collection for the church
debt fund, his heart was illed with
Thanksgiving.
To-day he feels different When
the packages were opened it was
discovered that they contained a
variety of worthless junk ranging
frem pewter spoons to battered sill
ver-plated cups. Instead of being
worth $1,500, as was hoped, the
value of the collection does not
exceed 500.

Two Smart Actors.

In Il popular historic drama the ac-
tor who takes the part of Napoleon is
required to read aloud a document Of
considerable length which is brought
TO him by General Berthier. This,
being written at length, is seldom com.
mitted to memory. A short time ago.
however, the property master at an
English theater mislaid the document,
and Napoleon, who was new TO the
part received instead a blank sheet Of
paper. For moment he was aghast
then, eager TO escape from his pre-
dicament even at the expense OF a
fellow actor, he handed the paper to
General Berthier, saying, Read it to
me-"
The other actor was not in the least
confused. "Your majesty" he said,

ORIGINAL STUNT.

OF the Ball.
Here rs a story about Harry Cove

stunt was pulled off during practice
and is vouched for by a number of
the Reds"
Several of the Cincinnati stars
were arguing as to who had the
most control.
IN tell you what I'll do" said
"Covey." "If two of you chaps will
stand up in front of Tom Clarke
with your heads foot apart, I'll
throw the ball into his hands be-
tween your heads six times run

Harry Casper had confidence in
Harry's accurate aim and agreed to
be one of the two to stand up and
let "Covey' see how near he could
come without hitting him
Others were not so confident un-
til Mike" Konnick volunteered SO
Gaspar and Konnick stood up over
an imaginary plate, leaned forward
until their foreheads were but a
foot apart and "Covey" set himself
to the task. He wound up for the
throw and let the ball go. Casper
and Konnick didn't have to move,
for the pail shot between their
heads as true as a well-aimed bullet.
The other five balls went in the same
place, and Casper and Konnick, in
spite of their confidence in the young
Pole, heaved sigh of relief when

THE WANDERINGS OF A SET OF
FALSE TEETH.

Here, porter" excitedly called a
flushed and benevolent looking old
gentleman from berth in the Pull
man sleeper as the train neared the
Boston station one Sunday morning.

had the berth next to mine last
night? He's gone off with MY

of the berth last night and put them,

they're not there. What shall ! do:
I'm to preach sermon in Boston this
very morning, and now | have lost
my teeth, and that man-I'll never
be able to find himi"
Two weeks later Mr. Shaw and his
wife were starting for a concert in
New York when he remembered that
he might need his light overcoat and
went back for it. On the car his
hand touched something peculiar in
the pocket of the coat and he drew
out set of false teeth. His excla-
nation was of horror, then he and
his wife laughed. But their united
efforts could not account for the ap-
pearance of those teeth in that
pocket.
when did you last wear the
coat?" asked the little wife.

them to his office tomorrow"
So the next day Mr.. Shaw was in
Mr.. Smiths Office. Il have come 20

Mr.. Shaw. Then he noticed that Mr..
Smith seemed in no immediate need
of teeth, and he began to explain.
Il found these in my overcoat pocket
and thought maybe you had put
them there by mistake that night on
the boat, OF course ] knew they
didn't belong to you" went on MIR.
Shaw, embarrassed as he felt the
frost collecting in the conversational
atmosphere, but | thought maybe
they might be Mrs. Smiths and you
were taking them to be fixed, or
something like that" he stumbled
along.
Neither Mrs. Smith nor myself
wear false teeth, and we never ex-
pect to-" frigidly replied the elderly
man, and a friendship of lifetime
came to a freezing finish.
Those teeth were active in all the
days they cut through their most
serious conversations, and chartered
and gnashed even in their dreams.
Finally Mrs. Shaw suggested the
sleeper as the possible solution, and
offered to take the teeth over to the
office at the Grand Central Station,
where found articles were held for
ownership.
The clerk in charge gave mighty
sigh of relief as he saw them. AT

every mail for two weeks from some
old minister in Boston, who Is shut

But the congregation of the Bos-
ton church never knew why the eele-
brated New York ID. D., LII. ID. failed
to preach that Sunday morning.

The First Balloons.

The chemical philosophers have dis.
covered a body (Which l have forgot
ten, but will inquire) which dissolved
by an acid emits a vapor lighter than
the atmOspherical air. This yapor is
caught, among other means, by tying
a bladder compressed upon the bottle
in which the dissolution is performed
The vapor, rising, swells the bladder
and fills it. The bladder is then tied
and removed and another applied till
as much of this light air is collected as
is wanted. Then II large spherical
case is made, and very large it must
be, of the lightest matter that can be
found, secured by some method like
that of oiling silk against all passage
of air. Into this are emptied all the
bladders of light air, and if there is
light air enough it mounts into the
clouds upon the same principle as "A

We notice in the current number Of
the Atlantic Monthly in the diary Of
Gideon Wells, Secretary Of the N avy in

that he swung with candy" around
the circle. This was way hack In 1866,
and he jotted down these words, 1.-THE
President should not be stump
speaker" In those days president
had no $25, 900 to junket on. He had
no vast fund like this to boost ideas, or
enraptuYe crowds, or make party capt.
tai. He had to pay his own expenses.
Yet OCCASIONALLY the president did
take little air. He of course had to
speak. Andy johnson was cam
paigner. He could speak He could
run Mr.. Taft or any president we have
had in y decade off the stump in joint

\ DANGEROUS MOVE.

From the peoples standpoint the
railroads are doing the wisest thing
possible. They have without any APP
parent reason raised freight and pass
enger rates over large territory. The
territory principally affected is tho
middle west and northwest. There is
. cry going up. An election is com.
ing on, every congressman is to be
chosen in November. It is needless to
say that this act on the part Of the
railroads will seriously affect that
election. In many portions no man
need expect election unless he open
~ and avowedly opposes such con-
duct. and promises support Of such
measures as are best suited to end
such unhallowed conduct on the part
of the railroads. The blind policy of
railroads has been inexplicable for
some time. It is more inexplicable
just now, and their best friends have
warned them in vain. The experiment

Valuable Improvements.

The Lake View Corporations com.
posed of STAUNTON business men,
who several months ago purchased the
Wayt property, adj joining the reservoir
lot, are making arrangements to open
up this section, and are now Soliciting
bids for street excavation. 1t was
stated yesterday afternoon by one
in authority that the corporation
would run street through this prop
city, connecting Fillmore street with
Thornrose avenue, and another street
from Churchville avenue to one of the
streets on reservoir hill, thus opening
a new and hitherto unimproved Sec
ton of the city. They will also put in
sewerage. gas, water, and lay granolith-
ic pavelnents. When this work is
completed they will offer the improved
property for sale as resident building
lots. This will be quite an addition
to STANTON, and the streets to be
run will prove of much advantage to
those who own property adjacent to
the holdings Of the Lake View Corpo-
ration.

MUCH SPECULATION
Could Colonel Roosevelt Leash the

Washington, June 3.-Diplomatic
experts and disciples of the move
ment for world peace are beginning
to wonder today how Colonel Roose-
welt would muzzle the dogs of war in
his proposed new capacity as chair
man of the World Peace Commission,
which congress soon will create.
There is not much doubt that con-
gress will establish the commission
and there seems to be little doubt
that Roosevelt will be at its head, if
he will accept the post
The way has been paved for the
commission by the proposal of Secre-
tary Knox to establish an arbitral
court of justice at The Hague by en-
larging the powers Of the prize court
established by the last Hague confer
ence. This proposal is now before the
powers. So far it has been considered
favorably. but no formal reply has
yet been made by any of the govern
ments.

PEACE Between CARRIERS AND
SHIPPERS.

The hubbub caused by the miscon-
ception Of the motive and purpose of
the railroad injunction suit has not
measurably subsidized on the surface,
but it is not as one crying in the will
derness that Mr.. George W. Perkins
raises his voice for peace. He reflects
the sentiment of the conservative eie-
ment-the banking world-when he
calls upon the railroads and shippers
to compose their differences, and thus
avert the painful situation to which
a prolongation of their hapless
AS the first result Of Mr.. Perkins per-
sonal efforts, the shippers will meet in
conference with the railroads on Tues
day. He told the leading spirits on
both sides that they were radically
wrong-the railroad presidents IN talk
ing panic and the shippers in pushing
the railroads too far; that the gravity
of the financial situation already pro-
duced by the quarrel demanded sober
ing thought and action, and they must
work together amicably.
The above from the Washington
Post of Monday is pleasant to the ear.
But there is nothing in it to cause the
shipper to subside. What Mr.. Per-
kins, who is leading member of ]. P.
Morgan & Co., wants is for the ship
per to subside and leave what the rail-
roads have done stand. If there Is
panic the railroads are the paramount
cause of it. They stirred up the trou-
BILE, and they can avert panic if they
want to by leaving rates as they were.
This, they say, they will not do. They.
dare any interference, and Mr.. Perkins.
is no doubt at their backs in the Sight.
