$50 Years from NotD

Some time ago we sold one of our influential
citizens a handsome solid mahogany dining
room suite for considerable more than $500 90.
There's nothing unusual about this sale, be-
cause we sell lots of sets running over $500 90,
and this party bought this suite just like any
other ordinary purchaser who generally buys
what he or she likes the appearance of.
BUT here's what we want to call YOUR par
ticular attention to. The mahogany of which
these pieces arc made of came from Africa
Mexico and San Domingo. Each different ma
hogany picked out for its beauty of grain and
wear-giving qualities. These pieces came from
factory that makes the finest grade of furni-
ture EXCLUSIVELY, and employs only the
finest German, Swiss and Scandinavian cabinet
makers. This our customer does not know.
Just think with what great and exquisite
pleasure and pride his children and great
grandchildren will, in years to come, point to
one of these pieces and say they were bought
by Grandfather So-and-so!
Our previous 80 years experience is your
safeguard in purchasing furniture to last,
wear well, and keep in style.
1t may not sound exactly right, but we can
show you plain Mahogany Dresser for S35
or $40 made to last several generations.

T. R. Declines to Comment

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 21.-Colonel Roosevelt was advised of the returns fin the Ohio primaryxscontest up until about il o'clock tonight, showing at that hour 9 lead in his favor, but he declined to comment on the returns until he knows definitely results.
 Tn regard to the selection of a tenpor- ary presiding officer of the republican na- tional convention, for which position Elihu Root was named yesterday, Colonel Roosevelt issued the following statement:
 If the progressives, as now seems probable, have substantial majority of the Chicago convention. I assume that they will wish every man who speaks for the convention to be in thorough sym pathy with their principles and with the cause for which they stand.
 "The temporary chairman has for all most his sole function the delivery of a speech which is supposed to strike the keynote of the situation. or at least to give forceful expression to the convic- tions and purposes of a majority of the convention. Unless the national commit tee name man whom the convention is willing 10 accept as its spokesmans-the convention will, I assume, substitute its own choice.
 '"This was done in the convention of 1884, of which I was a member when the national committee named as tenn porary chairman MT. Powell Clayton, and we of the convention substituted for him MT. Lynch"

ST. VINCENT NURSES

Yesterday was a day of pleasure for part oflthe nurses at St. Vincent's hos pital, who had an outing at East Lake park. About three dozen of them took in the day there, The park was thrown open to them and to say that they en- joyed themselves would be putting the matter lightly.
 They were chaperoned by two of the sisters. They had big spread al noon- time on the tables bordering the lake next to the boathouse and during the afternoon they had boat rides and took in the skating rink and several of the amusements. Later in the afternoon they were gathered on the green" next to First avenue and their picture taken.
 The remainder of them will have their outing at the same place tomor- row, spending the entire day at the pleasure place.

Plan to Accommodate Press

Chicago, May 21.-Plans for the accom- modation of working newspaper men at the republican convention were approved today by Chairman Harry S. New of the subcommittee on arrangements. The plans were drawn up under the direction of John Suter Jr., of Washington, and provide for seating 800 newspaper men.
 Col. E. l.. Morse of Excelsior Springs. Mo-, who heads a contesting delegation from the Third Missouri congressional district arrived today. He is a Taft man.
 The list of contested delegations was increased today by a contest from the District of Columbia and by the receipt of credentials of four delegates and four alternates from the Fourth Minnesota dis trict. Under the convention call, each congressional district is entitled to two delegates and two alternates and Secre- tary William Hayward has ruled that the selection of four delegates in place of two from any district shall be deemed con- test.

.HARCOURT BLAMED
 FOR OUTbURST

London, May 21.--An indignant outburst by pr. Ethel Smyth, a witness. marked the trial today of Mrs. Pankhurst. leader of militant suffragettes. Her alleged CO., consprators participated. Dr. Smyth blamed Louis Harcourt, secretary of state for the colonies, for melting her to mill tancy. Harcourts remarks about the average wife and suffrage she said. was like prod in a bulls back. He said.' Dr. Smyth continued. "I should not ob- ject to women having the vote if they all were as intelligent and as well balanced at IS as at 50 years and like his wife"
 That was the most insolent thing I ever heard. said the witness. It looked. she said, as if 1t were fatuitous. and in the pick of men he was the choice. She said she got two months, Imprisonment for breaking a window.

Unique Problem to Come Up

Chicago, May 21.-When the republican national committee meets on June 6 to consider the contests filed by Roosevelt and Taft delegates in a number of ltates. the members will be confronted with the problem of what to do in districts where more than the specified number of dele gates have been chosen with fractional votes.
 Four years ago there were several cases of this kind in Louisiana and the national committee seated the double delegations and allowed each fractional votes in the convention.
 This year there are half a dozen Of these cases already reported and Seere- tary Hayward has classed each as a com test and referred them to the national committee for settlement, taking the po- sition that the local conventions had no authority to elect double delegations 70 the national convention.
 1t is expected the Roosevelt forces will present 175 contests and the Taft lead CTS 75.

L|GHTOLLER AGAIN
 TELLSOF DISASTER

London, May 21.-Charles Light olfer, second officer of the Ti- tanic, was on the witness stand today at the board of trade inquiry into the recent disaster His evidence was practically reiteration of that Igiven before the senatorial committee In the United States. He stuck to his belief that the light seen from the ri- tanic was undoubtedly the li ight of a ship not more than five miles distant There was no panic and nothing to prevent the vessel passing forward. he said.
 The extraordinary circumstances that there was not the slightest swell on the surface of the sea, he said. was attributed to the lookout's failure to see the ice floe in time to avoid it, and hence the calamity.

Withdrew His Contribution

A negro preacher of Richmond recently "exchanged" with brother divine in an Alabama town Shortly after the as- sumption of his new charge, the Rich mond minister was much scandalized by the action of one Deacon Smith, who. In the vestry after service, was observed deliberately to withdraw oo-cent piece from the contribution box and to substi- tute therefor a dime.
 "Deaeon Smith" exclaimed the new comer This Is downright dishonesty.
 Deacon Smith was in nowise per turbed. "It ain't nothn' of de kind, pas tor" said he, quite conscious of his own rectitude. "De facts is, Is led off with dat half dollar for de last six years. Il aint no contributions It's a temporary loan as a noble example.'

Congress to- day passed bill providing for exact IiI- formation in the spring as to the number of acres of cotton in cultivation and in the autumn as to the production from the same acreage.
