OYSTERS IN MARKET.
Ten Vessels Arrive With Cargoes

Ten vessels laden with oysters in the

docks at the oyster wharf are as crowded

many of the astonished natives a free ride.

Later American diplomats have done
much to foster generosity and candor of
modern diplomacy. The term dollar
diplomacy should not be considered a
term of contempt when 1t includes de-
veloping the commerce and trade of this
nation with others. The policy of the
open door. of free opportunities for the
citizens of all nations in the orient al
ways will he attributed to the efforts of
the late John Hay, while Elihu Root
always will he credited with strengthen
ing the ties Of friendship between the re-
publics of Central and south America and
the United States.

their relations with other diplomats be-
cause of their meager compensation. Al
though the scanty treasury in the early
history of the nation rendered this neces-
sary. little has been done TO alter these
conditions now that the United states
ranks as one of the richest nations OF
the world There is perhaps no other
one question which has been SO frequent
~ before Congress with so little result
a S that of a better provision for its diplo-
mats.
1t is generally admitted that an Amer
lean cannot afford TO accept an appoint
ment at an important foreign post I'M
less he possesses large private means.
This was as true at the beg ming Of the
last century as it is today. Despite the
much talked-of Jeffersonian simplicity, II
is well known that Mr.. Jefrersons pos
ton as United States representative ia
Paris required him to spend several times
the amount of his salary. and was the
beginning of the bankruptcy which came
to him later in life.
Ii is customary to denoGnce eXtrava-
sance in moderu LIE. but those who at
tribute this as the reason for the fact
that DIR. Hsdley OF Yale College VAS com
PEELED to refuse a diplomats post pe-
cause his private means did not Justtfy
him IN ncuring the expense should
bear in mind that William Pnckney. one
of the ablest piomats the nation has
ever had was compelled to resign his Of
flee for the same reason. In proportion
to the purchasing power of dollar, the
salaries of most of Americas foreign
representatives are less ROW than they
were a century ago. Franklin, Adams

THE POLITICIAN.

Once there was politician and he was
wondrous wise, he featured up his doines
like the show bills advertise. He told
the poor discouraged the things he'd like
to do if they'd only get behind him and
help to push him through. He'd save
cry loss, II they would just get busy and
kindly come across. Each day in press
or platform he sings his plaintive song of
crime and woe and misery and robbery
and wrong. And SO to cure these evils, Of
this there is no doubt, just put him into
Office and turn the rascal out. You will
find, if you've been watching, at al, the
public bin, that the man who howIs the
loudest, as a rule, is wanting in and right
in this connection it is well to bear in
mind that the man who's long on talk

poser.
Very few lady composers have met
with such great success as has Henrietta
Blankc- Belcher, who for the past ten
years has been one of the principal writ
ers for Jerome HI. Remick & Co. She
first made reputation as waltz writer,
and some of her waltzes, especially the
new "Polaire Waltzes," are having
worldwide popularity. On the program
Of the coronation ball recently given in
London these waitzes held the place of
honor, being put on just before the inter-
mission, and comment was made that it
was the only number on the dancing pro.
gram written by an American composer.
She has lately written some very high
class songs, and the song, Love Dreams,
is one of the popular songs of the day.
Her latest and probably her best song,
My Only One, is, however, destined to
outrival it in popularity, since it will ap-
peal to almost all music lovers, and not
alone to those who only see merit in the
modern classics. The lyric is worthy of
the musical setting that Miss Belcher
gave it, and will appeal to those who seek
merit in both the words and music of a
song. We append the refrain:
The stars above may shine so bright, my only
one
But you will be my guiding light. my only one!
Your presence, dear. means more TO me
Than all the dreams Of life to be;
Your kiss is blissfuI ecstasy,
