How Senator Frye Once Arrested an

The climax of the campaign, so far

was the great mass meeting held In
Madison Square Garden. The simple
announcement that Theodore Roose.
welt. governor of New York state and
the Republican candidate for vice
president, would speak at the meeting
was sufficient Of itself to pack the
vast auditorium Of the Garden to its
capacity. 1t was estimated that at
least $1,000 persons were in the audi

After the hero of San Juan Hill had

His Version Of Story That His Wife
Declined for Him the Nomination
for Second Place While He
Was Fishing.

Since the death recently Of William
p. Frye long time senator from Maine
and president pro tempore of the SEN
ate,-a senator for whom the country
at large held the highest respect-a
story has been much circulated to the
effect that Senator Frye-or rather his
wife for him, while her husband was
away fishing for trout-declined the
nomination of vice-president on the Re-
publican ticket in 1880
A favorable opportunity came to me
at one time during the presidential
campaign of 1884 to ask Senator Frye
If the report we're true that he had de-
clined the nomination for vice-presi-
dent after General Garfield had been
nominated for president
1T isn't exactly true" Senator Frye
replied There was received at my
house at Lewiston while | was away
from home a telegram purporting to
come from members OF the Maine dele

vention asking me IL would accept
the nomination for vice-president My
wife wired for me in reply stating that

that If he was elected vice-president,
as he was. he would lose his seat as
senator and be utterly without any
influence excepting of personal kind,
with the senate. Logan also has the
same situation before him.
Personally. am very glad that no

HORN DINNER GALL
LOndon's Oldest Custom Relic of
Crusaders.
5enchers, Barrlsters and Students
Summoned by Ancient Method
Recalls Days When Clocks
and Watches Were In
known,

London.-Nowhere do old customs
cling more frmlys than in the ancient
seat Of legal learning, the Middle
Temple, London, which still iealOusly
guards the traditions it has inherited.
To the present-day benchers, bar
risters and students are summoned to
dinner each evening during term time
by the blowing of a horn-a custom
which has survived on this spot since
the romantic days of the crusaders.
Every evening at $3.50 during the three
weeks Of the legal terms, warder,
In gold-braided uniform, procures the
OK horn from the strong room Of the
Middle Temple, and proceeding to the
famous fountain in Fountain court,
summons the members to dinner by
blowing blast on this primitive in
strument
He then visits each court In turn,
according to ancient custom, and
many bencher throws up his window
to listen to the sound of the winding
horn. which has been heard continu-
ously in these precincts since the time
when the Knights Templar established
themselves there in 1854.
Its use recalls the days when clocks
and watches were unknown, and the
voice Of the Waterman. calling out
the time, was familiar sound through
the night watches. Sun dials were
then the only guides the People pos
sessed as to the flight of time, and
of these more than one still survives.
