The result of the primaries held IN
OHIO this week has been a surprise
to many people. 1t was supposed
bv some that President Taft would
carry his own state by a sweeping
majority. Instead of that he divides
the delegates with Col. Roosevelt
giving him a big share IN the divi-
sion. While this does not, perhaps,
entirely eliminate him as factor IN
the convention, it weakens his cause
TO such an extent that he seems
practically beaten. The result
of these same Ohio primaries
must be extremely disccuraging to
the Taft adherents, while the Roose-
welt supporters are elated and en-
couraged. The TIMRs has been
one of very few papers IN this
state that has believed in and advo-
Gated the progressive movement
headed by Ex. President Roosevelt
1t believes in the man and In the
principles that he stands Tor. lie
may not be nominated at Chicago,
but his chances certainly look good

Deadly Glasses.

A contrast to the Venetian glasses
which were popularity supposed to fly
10 pieces IL poisoned liquor were poured
into them were glasses which poison
ed all who drank from them. The poi
son was crystallized at the bottom OF
the glass, from which 1t was indistin-
guishable, and as 1t dissolved very
slowly It could be used many times
with deadly effect. Some such glasses
can be seen at the British museum

STORIES OF Plus TX.
The Lady Who Told the Pontiff She
Wished He Were Dead.

Lady Paget I'm the Nineteenth Gen.
tury has chapter Of recollections
dealing with life In Rome during the
first years Of completely united Italy.
when Lady Paget's husband was Brit
ish ambassador to the Quirinal. Among
her stories are some of Pope Plus TX,
which show that pontif In most ami
able light. Though the pope had twice
accommodated the king, they really
loved each other, says Lady Paget,
"for they were made of the same kind
of stuff, and both belonged emphatical'
ly to the days that are past and gone.
Impulsive in action, primesautier and
generous In temperament, they allowed
themselves the luxury Of sometimes
letting their feelings deviate from what
others might consider the stern path or
duty"
When King Victor Emmanuel died
bis chaplain, against all rules, gave
him absolutlon for everything, though
he was under the major excommunica-
ton. The pope sent for the priest, In
quired most feelingly about the kings
last moments, and when the chaplain
confessed Plus TX, with tears In his
eyes, cried: "Hai fatto bene! Hal fatto
bener' "You have done well! You
have done well!o
Another story illustrates Plus ms
sense Of humor. 1t concerns Nine. do
Corcelles, the wife Of the ambassador ia
the Vatican, delightful old lady. who
often visited Lady Paget. In spite OF
prohibitions. For" she declared. Il
am the granddaughter Of Lafayette.
and do what please" She never
addressed the cardinals as eminence.
but hailed them in CHEEKY tones as her
"dear cardinals" When one day she
visited Plus TX. he asked her whether
she had seen all the sights Of Rome.
Eyes, holy father" she replied, but 1
should dearly like to see conclave."
This story was told by the pontiff
himself.

Monticello divides interest with
Mount Vernon as the most historical
homestead In Virginia. 1t is insepara-
bly, connected with the life Of Thomas
jefferson, and his writings on philoso-
ply, craftsmanship, history, political
economy and the common affairs Of
life, accomplished In its classic shades,
have made him known as the sage OF
Monticello" The architecture Of the
building Is unique. 1t Is. first Of all,
Jeffersonian, but as the name OF the
estate Is Italian the builder preserved
the harmonies In basing the form on
Italian ideals.
The summit Of the little mountain"
was leveled to form park Of some ten
acres, In the center Of which the lines

The house was begun In Mr. Jeffer-
sons youth and built In sections. Thir-
ty years elapsed before Its final COM
pletion owing to the fact that the
builder was his own architect and con-
tractor. and the demands Of his coun-
try required more Of his time than he
could devote to his private affairs.

PORT SAID GAMBLERS.

Picturesque Port Said, at the en-
trance to the Suez canal, Is given an
unsavory reputation by /. Johnston
Abraham In his book, "The Surgeons
Log" Ugly stories are told about the
town, the writer says, and his descrip-
ton Of gambling house fitted on pur-
pose to fleece the unwary traveller
bears out his assertion:
Suddenly as we drew near one house

the empty sandy street. AS II ut Sig

He shrugged his shoulders. and

had ceased, and all the confederates
who had been playing so feverishly and
winning so much had ceased also and
were preparing to resume the siesta

in the latter half of 1911.
Tobacco common rose points yesterday.
and its closing price of 294 was 2lls points
higher than Saturdays close, the net adj
vance In the last three days having been
2l4 points. There is no reason to doubt
that the directors are planning a special
dividend of considerable size, but after Its
disappointment of yesterday Wall Street is
not prepared to predict just now soon the
action may be taken by the board.
Four Of the former subsidiaries of the
American Tobacco Company yesterday de-
clared initial dividends on their common
stock. each Of 2i2 per cent ana eacn payapie

by his road He said yesterday:
Never have / seen crops that promise
better yields than the crops In the South

wheat crop as practically made. for there
is enough moisture in the soil to carry II
to harvest, even though there should be
no further rains. This applies 10 Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas. II is too early yet
10 say what the outcome Of the other
for good yields of corn and cotton, and II
is rather early also 10 make predictions
as to the California fruit crop
The Atchison. Mr. Ripley said, had
come through the winter well and had
suffered greater loss from the excessive
rainfall I'm the spring than from the heavy
storms of the winter months. Such dam
age as had beep done had been confined
to branch lines.
Asked about the compromise settlement
of the inter-mountain rate case, President
Ripley said that IL would affect the Atchi-
sons revenue little. In his opinion, the
settlement out of court was the best
method Of ending tho rate controversy.
for he added. the decision Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission in this case
naturally satisfied neither side. az might
have been expected when seven men who
know little of railroad questions attempt
to decide a problem of such importance as
