We inclined the opinion that the strength of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league has been very much overestmated
From the tactics adopted believe that any large
number cf republicans who sincere in the desire for the
continued supremacy of the party principles would enlist
under its banner Such republicans beguiled
first by the plausible troed out at the start
justification for its organization would be falter in
their allegiance when confronted with the real purposes of
the prime and the lengths which they prepared
to 90 in their paramount desire down" the regulars,
and succeed them the control of party affairs Political
parties are like all other human organizations subject to
their little internal troubles These evidences of strength
and do impair the prospects of the organization in the
least if kept within reasonable bounds The latest desperate
effort attributed the league to form alliance with the
democrats to control of the legislature upon
which will devove the duty of eectng United States
tor to Flint OF all the damaging reports circulated
concerning the leagues methods this probably the most
disastrous 1t means a coalition with the enemy, and that
can only mean an understanding that either both shall
profit preference the straghtout republicans Such
alliance dsgraceu to both contracting parties involves
betrayal of principle for the sake of temporary advantage
Unseemy promises of that mark the pathway
of success We think that arminded republicans
are going join such combination in any formidable
bers Perhaps this is the explanation of the strong drift OF
welknown democrats enroll the great registers
pubcans They dsgusted with organization that is
willing to barter away its brthright in that fashion.

Poor Mother.

Poor mother doesn't care for brown;
She'd rather dress in blue,
But daughter scares her with a frowr
And says it wouldn't do.
When mother looks at bonnets pink,
Then daughter bars the way
And says that mother shouldn't think
OF anything so gay.
And so it is this life of mas
Must run in certain grooves.
She can't get out of them because
Her daughter disapproves.

WOMAN PASSED HER
SELF AS A DOCTOR

Rome.-A strange story comes from
the st. Antoine hospital and it seems
to bear all the earmarks of truth. It
IL said that a skilful visiting physi
clan was in reality woman masquer-
aiding. 1t seems that a certain MA
jor Falconi' had been calling at the
hospital, lending his assistance to the
staff and no suspicion of anything
being irregular aroused until the a.
tention of one of the regular doctors
was called to the fact that Major Fall
conf was supposed to be in Switzer-
land. The major Was not unknown to
some of the staff, and it was remark
able that If he was being impersonat-
ed the substitute bore an, eXtraordi-

no sooner had the hospital official
seen her than he felt convin 1 this

inquired for Major Falconi and, being

Pageant of London" which is to take
place in connection with the Festival
Of Empire at the Crystal Palace next
summer, and which was postponed on
account of the death or King Ed

The pageant will be the highest
show ever organized in this country
and the gathering of representatives
from all parts of the empire will be
on a scale never attempted before. In
the pageant itself there will be no
fewer than 10 900 amateur perform
formers.
Apart from the pageant the scheme
Is gradually developing into a vast
all-British exhibition. Lord Strath
coma is giving his hearty support to
this side of the show. Every seat of
government in Canada VIII be repre-
sented by building about two-thirds
of the actual size. These will be fill
ed with exhibits and connected by a
railway which will pass through real
istic scenery depicting the various col
onies.
The Crystal Palace itself will be

BEGGARS TERRORIZE
WOMEN IN LONDON

London.-The streets of the West
End are so overrun with beggars that
the matter has become a scandal and
disgrace.
There are beggars who carry
wretched babies in all weather in or
der to awake the pity of passers-by;
sturdy beggars. who actually intimi-
dete women shoppers into giving them
money; blind and deformed beggars,
who trade on their infirmities, and
beggars who cloak their operations
by pretending to sell pair of boot
laces or play some musical instru-
ment.
Cases in which women have been
tsrrorized by men beggars have be-
come frequent of late. Most women
submit to this form of brigandage
rather than create scene by calling
a policeman.
At night the younger of these men
frequent the neighborhood of the the
atres and music-halls. Their harvest
begins just before midnight. when the
streets are filled with crowds hurry
ing homewards. Some stand gazing
despairingly at the windows, others
thrust matches in the faces of unpro-
tected women, and others devote
themselves to watch-snatching in
quiet streets.
Actual violence is often resorted to
when other methods fail. Two beg
gars who were sentenced at the
Marylebone police court less than a
month ago were said to have forced
their way into a private house, and
to have created a scene in the porch
of church when the verger refused
to give them money
The occupation is so profitable that
the army of beggars is being con-
stantly increased The earnings" OF
West End beggars vary from five
shillings to as much as thirty shil-
lings a day, and children have been
known to obtain thirty shillings a
week.

KING OBJECTS TO A
NUDE PEDESTRIAN

Berln.-The king of Saxony has
decided to put a stop to fresh air
bathers who have become numerous
throughout his Kingdom. An old an
piratical looking professor is the cause
Of the kings determination. The pro-
fessor belongs to a large class who
believe that any kind of disease may
he cured if one will run around in the
open clad in the style which is said
to have prevailed in the days of Ad-
am. He had retired to a lonely co..
tage in the woods near Reichenberg.
Here, in solitude, it has recently been
his custom to make excursions attir-
ed in form dress" which he has
designed for his own use.
Last Friday he Unexpectedly met
the king, who was out for a stroll ac-
companied by his daughters. The
princesses screamed and ran, using
language almost justifiable under the
circumstances.
The king rushed at tie professor
brandishing his walking stick in
threatening manner. The bather slut
teringly attempted to explain to his
sovereign the reason for his lack of
dress.
The infuriated monarch would hear
no excuses, and having taken The
name and address of the man, ne
strode off after his daughters with a
threat that he would at once set in
motion the rigors of the law against
such an objectionable breach Of the
proprieties.

ROMAN RELICS ARE FOUND.
Pottery and Coins of 90 Centuries Ago
Discovered I'm Lincoln, England.


Lincoln, Eng.-On the site of an
old Roman fortress at Westgate, Lin
coin, a number of interesting Roman
relics have been discovered.
A part of the wall shows herring
bone work. and there are layers of
tiles bound together with wonderful
mortar. In the firing of one tile an
accidental glaze was produced, which
came into general use for pottery
many centuries later.
Several Roman coins have also been
unearthed, the greater portion being
of Claudius Al to 81 A. D. One is a
rare coin of Antonio, the mother of
Claudius. Many bronze objects and
articles of pottry have also been dis
covered the latter bearing the names
of the potters Taxriel and Osbimani
who flourished nearly twenty centu-
ries ago.

who lives some distance in the coun-

for her fare one of them fell The
conductor refused to take another
halfpenny, believing he would find
the other on the floor.
When the old lady arrived home,
however, she was surprised to see the
lost halfpenny drop out Of her um-
brella. Five years elapsed before she
came to Hull again. but her first task
was to seek the car company's office
and pay the halfpenny.
