WHEN ANNOUNCING THE BABY
There Are Various Ways Of Spreading
the News of the Stork's
Visit.

When the stork visits a household
the most modish way of spreading the
news of his call is by card
ment. This plan has the disadvantage
of delay, however, as there IS a mimi
mum of time in which cards can be
engraved and mailed, not to mention
the fact that the oftimes ~perplexing
question of naming the baby must be
decided first.
One young couple, however, though
somewhat wastefully, overcame that
seemingly necessary delay by deciding
that if their first were a boy he
should be called, say, John Henry,
while if she happened to be the less
desired girl her name was to be, say,
Clementine. So they had two sets of
cards engraved and ready for mailing
the moment that the exact status of
things was known. 1t would have
been dreadful, though, if in the inev-
table household confusion the wrong
box of cards had been mailed and the
others thrown into the furnace before
the mistake was discovered.
So far as New York is concerned, it
is those of European birth or parent
age who most frequently make the
paid public announcement. Sometimes
they are amusing in their ~frankness
and righteousness. These sometimes
contain the postlude, Mother and son
doing WELL" and one started off with
the words: "a loving daughter born
to-" The climax was capped, howev-
er, by one the other day that closed
in this wise:
"a 12-pound boy. Thanks to Drs.
So and So and Such and Such and to
Mrs. Blank"

/ TARIFF LAW.

81 voted 12S times in the tar

the national platform, but only
six of those votes were cast
with Senator Aldrich.
81 voted against the tariff bill
because it was framed more
with a view of benefiting GER
tain manufacturing interests
and m%onopOlies than of contrib
uting to the general welfare Of
the American people. | am a

faithfully to the fundamental
principles and policies of the

: the country.
A duty not measuring the
difference in the cost Of smelt-
|. ing at home and abroad as
promised in the Republican
. platfrCm, but from $3.50 to Sc
. higher than the entire cost of
. smelling in this country was
: imposed on lead. This was not
. done in the interest of protect
: ing a struggling American in
. dustry, but in the interest of a
: monopoly controlled by the Gug-

"Aldrich forced an increase

!. when the cotton manufacturers
. We're not asking it, for the ben

! Atty. Gems office ........ 100
!. Treasurer's office ....... 300
. In all $4,000 yearly, OF $14,4O0
: for the four-year term.

dragged into this fight as a shield for his

sariIy in order TO rebuke those who sought
TO hide behind him. His share in the de-
feat is none the less humiliatins because
his friends-thOse whom he consulted and
favored in Kansas matters-selfishly
brought his name into the contest. The
men who are making a fight for a free
state ignored Taft. His name was not
mentioned in any way by those who We're
making the insurgent fight. But the stand

Mr.. CRANE RETICENT
Will Neither Affirm Nor Deny
Ballinger Report.

Chicago, Aug 8. Senator W. Murray
Crane, who is said to have come West for
the purpose of intimating to Secretary
Ballinger that the latters resignation from
the Cabinet would be to the interest Of the
Republican party, returned East to-day.
lust before leaving Chicago he refused
either to deny or confirm the report that
he had asked Secretary Ballinger for his
resignation.
1t developed late to-day that both the
Secretary and the Senator were in the
same hotel here yesterday. and 1t is gen.
orally believed. although it cannot be con-
irmed, that a conference was held be-
tween them yesterday afternoon.
Secretary Ballinger arrived in Chicago
at o'clock on Tuesday morning. and Sen
ator Crane appeared at the same hotel
two hours later. The Secretary regis
tered. but the Senator did not. Both gen.
tlemen, it was ascertained to-day, were
absent from the hotel yesterday after
noon, and both were gone at the same
time.
Secretary Ballinger left for Seattle last
night, after declaring he would not res
sign. as has already been narrated. Sen
ator Crane Just before leaving Chicago
for the East to-day was asked point blank
if he had requested Secretary Ballinger's
resignation. He said:
Il came West on a mission. I have
been TO Minneapolis and am now return
ing home. l saw Mr.. Ballinger there, but
It was not by appointment. We simply
talked of general matters"
Were you sent West to secure Secre-
tary Ballingers resignation"
What I was sent for, If 1 was sent at
all replied the Senator, with a smile, is
not OF public business. I finished my trip
and am going home. and do not care to dis
cuss Mr.. Ballinger, politics, or my mis-
sion here"
Did you meet Secretary Ballinger in Chi
cago. and did you hold a conference with
him there?'
At this point the Senator fed. AS he
walked swiftly through the door and up
Michigan avenue. he said:
Il have told all I am going to tell, and
I certainly shall say nothing about Mr.
Ballinger."
Byron L. Smith, q banker of this city, to-
day. Mr.. Smith said this evening:
The Senator and l simply had a little
lunch end discussed family matters.

or not. If they stopped at the same hotel,

Beyond that Nh Smith would not talk
except 10 say that he really had no definite
informal ton on the subject.
