THE SOUND AND
FURY OF POLITICS
washington Starr

Politicians in denouncing each
other, or in characterizing the policies
of the opposition, do not always mean
what they say. Here are two stories
full Of comfort and information at a
time when a hot national contest is
on the eve Of Inauguration.
When Mr.. Roosevelt landed at home
the other day the famous Tammany
orator. Senator Tom Grady, was one
o. the multitude to greet him. They
have known each other for years,
and while opposed I'm politics have
been on good personal terms. While
Mr.. Roosevelt was Governor OF New
York Mr.. Grady was the Democratic
leader I'm the state senate, and as such
Frequently in debate roasted" the
Governor I'm true Tammany style.

thorities Of the state department arc
now expressing the fear that Edwin
Trimmer, the American consul at
Cape Gracias a Dlos, Nicaragua, has
been assassinated by the sympathiz-
ers OF Doctor Madriz. No. word has
been received for some time directly
from Consul Trimmer and there has
been no attention paid by him 20 Of
fetal messages sent TO him. His sill
ence and the known bitter hostility
that exists among the Medriz sup.
porters towards Americans form the
grounds for the suspicious Of foul
play OF the state department.
Another Cruiser Ordered South.
As a protest against the intense hos.
tility openly expressed against the
United States, the navy department
yesterday ordered the commander Of
the protected cruiser Tacoma to pro
coed TO Cape Gracias a Dlos. Com
mander Davis is ordered 10 find Con
sui Trimmer, II he be still alive. and

NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN
LEAGUE

KANSAS CITY, July 21.-Tbat the
West Is not satisfied with the present
organization Of the Republican party
was manifested again here last night
when a convention o. a number Of the
leading Republicans Of this state and
Of nelghboring states decided to or.
ganize a national league Independent
Of the regular national orgaization.
The object Of the league, as out
lined at the meeting last night, It to
force the regular organization TO re-
turn to the Roosevelt policies and 30
incorporate them into the national
platform as TO make their enforce
ment the main part Of the Republican
policy.
The movement, while not 80 term
ed, was plainly in support Of the IN
surgents, It being taken for granted
that Roosevelt's sympathies are Who'll
ly with that wing Of the party.

DEATH is A MYSTERY.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Ira G.. Rawn,
president Of the Chicago, indianapolis
and Louisville Railroad, the Monon
line, is dead, whether killed by an
other or through suicide has not yet
been determined. Rawn met his
death by bullet through the brain
the relatives giving out a statement
to the effect that the shot was fred
by a burglar whom the railroad pre-
sident surprised I'm the act of robbing
the house.
The police, however, are not inclin.
ed to credit the story, believing rath.
or that Rawn committed suicide.
They are working on this theory.
Rawn was the operating vice-pre.
sident Of the Illinois Central Railroad
from 1907 until a year ago, during
which time the fraudulent car repair
contracts with that road were made.
He was the chief witness in the in
vestigation made into the contracts,
and his evidence in sart tended to in
criminate him. The suppositlon of
the police is that he did not wish to
live to face any further investigation

EVENING, OCT. S
Thu Curious MistIetos.

The story Of how the mistletoe gets
ON the trees IS a most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear
Iy white berries. These come In the
winter season, when food is COMPARE
lively scarce, and hence some birds eat
them freely. Now, when robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and flips the stone away. The seed
Of the mistletoe the bird cannot flip.
1t is sticky and holds to his bill. His
only resource Is to wipe 1t off, and he
does so, leaving 1t sticking to the
branches Of the tree on which he Is
sitting at the time This seed sprouts
after q time, and not finding earth
which, indeed. its ancestral habit has
made 1t cease wanting-it sinks its roots
into the bark of the tree and hunts
there for the pipes that carry the sap.
Now, the sap In the bar~s Is the very
richest In the tree, fal& richer than
that In the wood, and the mistletoe
gets from Its host the choicest of food.
With q strange foresight 1t does not
throw its leaves away, as do most
parasites, but keeps them to use In
winter, when the tree Is leahess.

Aaron Burr's Grave.

Aaron Burr died at Port Richmond,
Staten Island, Sept. IA, 1886. His re-
mains were conveyed to Princeton, N.
j., where, according to his request, he
was inferred at the feet Of his father
and grandfather. Both his father and
grandfather were presidents of Prince
ton college.
Concerning the tombstone which
marks bis burial place, we quote from
the history Of his life by Parton:
Some efforts were made and some
money subscribed soon after his death
to procure a suitable monument, but
the project failed. For nearly two
years the spot where he lay was IN
marked when one morning it was dis
covered that n small, very substantial
and not inexpensive monument Of
granite and marble had been placed
during the night over his remains. No
one in the town saw the monument
erected or knew anything whatever
respecting 1t. There was no stonecut-
ter In the vicinity capable Of execut-
Ing the work. The stone bears the In
scrlption: Aaron Burr. Born Febru-
airy, 9, 1756. Died, September IA,
1885, "-Philadelphia Press.

preston of you sup with the devil
you will need a long spoon" Though
never heard it before" he says, ut
Is evidently fairly well known. and
what l should like to know is, What
does 1t mean. and where does 1t come
FROM
1t means that If you are going to sit
down to O meal with bis Satanic
majesty you will need q long spoon
to avoid the necessity Of getting too
near the old gentleman and, In Its
general sense, Of course, 1t implies
that II you have dealings with a dan
gerous or notorious person 1t behooves
you to use great caution. 1t comes
from one of the "Ingoldsby Legends"
and the quotation reads:
Who suppes with the Devilie sholde have

The Presidential Salute.

One explanation Of the reason for
adopting twenty-one guns as the presi-
dental salute is that there might be
maintained a uniformity In national
salutes, Great Britain having In the
distant past adopted twenty-one as the
number for the royal salute. OF the
many surmises as to why the number
twenty-one was settled upon we men,
ton two-frst, that twenty-one was
the number of years fixed by English
law as the age Of majority; second,
that seven was the original salute
and three times seven would signify
one seven for each Of the divisions.
England and Wales, Scotland and Ire
land. 1t Is asserted that the United
States adopted this salute to signify
to the mother country that her child
had reached his majoriy and was pre-
pared in law to inherit the land and to
