vital, in Conkling's opinion, that he
should meet this friend. Upon look
ing at time-t tables he found that the
train would pass the station in about
half an hour. 1t was not scheduled
to stop there. He therefore asked the
station agent if he could not secure
from Philadelphia orders to have the
train stopped at the station.
THE station agent said that was
very unusual, and he asked Conkling
if he would give him his name. There
upon Senator Conkling told the sta
ton agent who he was, and the agent
at once sent dispatch to the home
office, saying that Senator Roscoe
Conkling was at the station and was
very anxious to have Limited train
stopped.
THE superintendent telegraphed
back to ask how the station agent
knew that the man was Roscoe Conk-
ling. The agent replied that there
wasn't the slightest doubt about it.
He had never seen Conkling, but he
had seen his picture. This man had
the same face the same beard, the
same curious expression of his mouth
and the same little curl that fell down
over his forehead. The agent was
certain that the man was Roscoe
Conkling himself. Thereupon the SUI
perintendent telegraphed back that
II the agent was sure that the man
was Roscoe Conkling he must not fail
to stop the train for him There
wasn't much time to spare, but there

courtesy and later wrote letter OF
thanks to the superintendent and also

THAT characteristic expression
upon Conkling's face was not a nor
NAL expression. 1t was the result of
accident-an accident, too, which al
most cost him his life. The scars
which were established upon his lips
after the wound healed We're con-
cealed by his beard and moustache,
but the wound really caused a distor-
ton of his mouth, and it was this
which created that unpleasant eX-
preston which so many people noted.
when he was a young man Cotk-
ling was kicked in the face by horse,
a magnificent animal owned by his
father, and very difficult to handle.
The blow was at first thought to have
caused fatal injuries. The wound.
however, was slIilfully treated and
healed, but Conkling was careful al
ways to conceal his scars by growing
a heavy beard and moustache.

ment. / think it was in his second
term of service as United States Sen

when his face and figure had become
familiar to the American public
through the work of the cartoonists.
There was a very important en-
gagement which Conkling made with
politician of great influence. He eX-
pected to meet that politician at a
station just out of the city of Balti-
more, but when he arrived in Balti-
more he discovered that his friend
was in Washington and expected to
take limited train from Washington
to New York. There had been mis-

unreconciled Ulster.

From the New York Times
With Irish home rule practically as
sured after a whole generation OF Dill
ter contest, with a majority Oh the
English people willing at last to grant
to their Irish neighbors, the privilege
of regulating their domestic analrs
to suit themselves, the position OF tie
Ulster people seems an anachronlsm.
They are Professionals and fear Cain
olic domination; therefore II the rest
of ireland gets home rule they Will
no longer be Irish; but they VIII not
Withdraw from the Green Isle. They
will stay where they are and make
Ulster an independent province.
nroyisIonal government will take over
The nrovince. and Sir Edward Carson
will he premier. The proclamation,
with it's provision for military de-
Tense. the post, finance, educatioh
and the customs. seems an elaborate
Joke, yet we are forced to peileVe
that it is not, but is deadly serious;
in which case 1t can only mean clVli
war.
In this country we have long be-
,ievsd that Ireland should have the
benefit of home rule, wherefore we
can hardly sympathize with this
movement to deprive the country or
that blessing in the very hour OF ITS
realization. A natural question is,
IF Ulster is strong enough to set 1t
self nm as an independent province,
whv should the Obstetrics fear DOM
nation by the Catholic Irishmen?
We had been led to believe that the
Ulster movement was largely fos-
tered bv his majesty's opposition to
delay the home rule bill. Perhaps
that was true at first, and the move
ment has now run away with It's
promoters. In any case the position
SO boldly assumed by Sir Edward
Carson and some of his distinguished
associates is surely full of peril It
is easier to believe that Mr.. Asouith's
lucky but frequently perplexed gov
eminent will find a way out of this
new trouble than it is to guess what
the next move will be.

Constable Will Make Race for Sec ond Term in the Township Office.

Joe Lankford, who is just about to complete his first term as constable of Hot Springs township, makes an nouncement this morning as candi- date for a second term, his candidacy being subject to the action of the Democratic primary.
 Joe Lankford qualified for the place as constable by a splendid service of eight years as captain of police, dur ing which time he never was known to abuse any person under the as- sumption of his authority. He was the kind of an official who made him self a peace officer, and used all his efforts for the preservation of the peace, setting the example himself
 During his tenure as constable he has maintained that record. and has handled the township office in such a manner as to entitle him to the sec ond term. which the Democratic par ty usually gives one who has served well during a first term.
 Few officers of long service are as popular as Joe Lankford, and it is doubtful if he will have an opponent for a second term in the office

INSURANCE QUESTION AGAIN.

Alter the insurance powers that be nave placed Hot Springs in the -four ana one-half class" as to the rates 10 be charged for fire insurance. we are to have another visit today from insurance men to inform us what will nave to be done in furthering fire protection here.
 There is such thing as going too far. Hot Springs has one auto truck. and a splendid fire department of fire apparatus and hose wagons fully manned by competent and experienc. ed firemen.
 We have inspection ordinances un- til we pay an inspection fee almost every time We turn around.
 We seem to be better equipped for fire fighting than ever before, and yet the rates are raised in some in-
 
 stances, doubled in others, and even trebled in others.
 We do not want to quarrel with the insurance companies. but we Go believe that because of recent fire losses here. which are likely to take place in any city of the country, Hot Springs is being discriminated against. ttllH2E The fact that Hot Springs has been a losing proposition to the insurance companies, through two large fires, should not be the subject of preju- dice. The insurance companies are paid premiums all over the country for fire protection. If there were not likelihood of fire anywhere, there would be no premiums paid.
 If one city is unfortunate in loss eS, Snouiu tiidt De any IedsOu Niiy there should be such a fuss over re- building, and why the rates generally should be so raised?
 It may be that the answer is in the partial repeal of the Jeff Davis anti trust law, which was a mistake, and which should be corrected by the next Legislature. The state should not permit the uniform rate by agreement" policy, much less become a party to it through an agency which provides for a penalty for any per son who might reduce the rate.

NEW ORLEANS FlNANClER STILL MISSING AND ACCOUNTS
 SAID TO BE SHORT.

New Orleans, Dec. 29.-Criminal &C., ton wa staken against T. Walker Danziger. who has been missing since early last week, when District Attor- ney Luzenburg filed eight affidavits in court charging the young financier with embedding $42.0O0 of the funds of the Tuetonia Bank and Trust Com pany. This was done after W. l.. Young, the state bank examiner. had reported to the district attorney that this amount of funds of the bank. of which Danziger was liquidator, could not be accounted for.
 A formal statement presented 70 Young by Harold Denziger brother of the accused, was to the effect that the Danziger family would pay the differ ence between the amount said to be missing and Danziger's $25.000 bond. In this statement Harold Danziger said that depositors in the Teutonia had lost heavily when the institution failed two years ago and that the fam fly did not want to see them lose more.
 As far as publicly known no word has come to New Orleans of Dan ziger. He was seen here as late es Wednesday of last week. but since then all trace has been lost, the po- lice and members of his family say. Accountants are checking the books of several other firms with which Danziger was connected.

It is difficult to direct a wise use of this money after 1t leaves the agents hands. she said, owing partly to the evil influence of the white neighbors.
