n HODE ISLANDS busy day is near.
X Rhode Island has something
~ ahead of her which ought to make
a normal state sweat blood, let alone a
tiny, delicate state like she is. Rhode
Island is to send a man of the Aldrtch
type to succeed the retiring senator
Gen. Charles r. Brayton, Rhode Island
Republican national committeeman,
has said so. "rhe successor must stand
for the things in the senate that Aid
rich has stood for. Should Rhode Is
land send an insurgent to Washington,
the whole country would say that Aid
rich retired because he had to-"
All that Rhode Island has to do Is to
find another man of the Aldrich type
That is all.
Goody! Goodee! Ended like we
wanted It, Just like the films in the
nickel theaters Sweet peace has
capped the Philander C. Knox, jr., and
his prohibited bride romance. The
scorned couple have been taken under
the parental wing feathers. We are
content now to pass out into the city's
crowded street, confident that We have
received our nickers worth. Papa Knox
had to gesticulate madly and tear his
locks and pound his iron bed post, put
he knew himself that he was putting
II all on all the time. Intimate friends
of Tip" Knox say that his dad has
bought a large interest in an automo-
bile factory to keep the boy out OF
further mischief. Maggie, amt these
shows great!
From the carpet mill to the cogs of
matrln my is the tune Teddy Roose-
welt Junior is whistllng. He has just
said fond adieu to the grind of a
Hartford rug factory to spend a month
in New York preparing for his mar
riage to Miss Elinor Alexander June
49, Teddy has done everything in the
mill from janitor duty to office work,
and Of course has been a favorite with
his fellow employees. The bunch are
making plans to present him with a
handsome wedding remembrance, ana
it is understood that something foxy
in the rug line is beng turned out in
the foundry for the new home in San
Francisco. Teddy and his wife are
going into the carpet business in San
Francisco.
Everybody and the landlady are
feeling blue because Teddy has to leave
Hartford. He has been jovial as
sociate and a good boarder. The land
lady says that he has kept good hourS
and has been a hard worker all the
time. They are all limiting for bid
chances are they will be permitted to
be present with the relatives at the
ringside. The young man has left
most of his effects with Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert King, with whom he has stayed
during his mill experience. They eX-
pect to have a room for him whenever
he takes notion to beat back to
Hartford.
ConaraI XVipLarSbam must
have an undying grudge against
science. Science at some remote period
must have slipped Il bitter pill to
Wickersham. He is trying to drag the
scientist into politics. He was at a
banquet of alumni of Lehgh university
recently, and in a nice little talk ne
told the professors present that politics
was calling them. He jollied them up
with such statements as your trained
intelligence is needed" and your keen
perception" and your tolerant and
wholesome minds" But the wisacres
of the world are saying that the nice
words concealed a wicked purpose.
Wickersham must have a vendetta to
grind, If you will allow the expression.
He would not pull the poor scientists
into the whirlpool without some ul-
terror motive.
John Alfred Jordan and William
Sohnes have gone to the dark conti-
nent to trap big game for one of the
larger circuses. These African big
game parties are becoming quite the
thing in smart circles. Ere long we
shall see in the daily collection of So
ciety scandal little items to the effect
that Mrs. Soandso de Wadsofit will
entertain a few select guests at week
end affair in her African jungle cot
tage, or that the coming out of Ele-
phantora Millionkid will be observed by
monkey shooting contest next
Wednesday afternoon at the Millionkid
mansion in the valley of the Kongo, at
which giblets from an elephant killed
last Thursday at dusk by the mother
of the emerging young lady will be
served.
The ability of the valiant Mr.. Jordan
and the brave Mr.. Sohnes is not meant
to be cheapened by these absurd fore
casts. Mr. Jordan is said to be one
of the most famous of young African
hunters. He has spent the twelve past
years of his life in Africa, and is said
to have been deeper in the brush than
any white man. He is credited with
being the discoverer of the bongo, a
hitherto unknown animal. everyone
is on familiar terms with the bongo
now. Many of the best families have
one in their menagerie.) Coming early
in the season, it sounds like, doesn't it?
~ Charles f. Semon, the marrow feller"
now at the Orpheum, had made the
world laugh for many years before he
discovered that he had a valuable
asset in the way of a pair of legs.
