Jarrett Makes Little Fight
Jarrett did not make q real fight
for the position, evidently feeling that
there was little hope for success for
him after the first decision OF the
party The new national COMMITTEES
met Immediately after the convention
with John Fl. Wilson attending for
Hawaii, and after q short and insIg-
nificant hearing Jarrett's claims were
disposed Of.
With the settlement Of The Ray

sentation at ST. Louis was divided into
two distinct groups; the first. the
delegates and alternates, who located
together in q suite at the Terminal
Hotel at the Union Station Of the
city and John H. Wilson, national

that on each occasion something In

he was unable to see him before he

took no part in the affairs of the
delegation excepting in the contest
Of DR.. Raymond for the position of

Rose and Jarrett See JaiIs
Rose was making his first trip east
Of San Francisco. He was making q
tour of the jails and prison systems
of western states and cities in view
of improving the corresponding In
stitutions Of the islands. Jarrett was
travelling vita him, likewise being To-.
terested In jails and the like. Both:
came to st. Louis for the convention
which they attended with Mccarthy
as guests.
Jarrett was there to forward HIS
interests as national committeeman
from Hawaii although he did spend
most of his time while In st. Louis in
yestigating the local jails with his
travelling partner and Mccarfhy.

Side Lights on the Convention
%. T. Shipman left st. Louis in
1881. His trip to the convention was
his first visit to his old home in
thirty-five years. He was amazed at
the growth Of the city, and learned
that he could Elt find his way about
as he could in his earlier days;
Jesse Uluihi said that he and Ioela
Kiakahi had taken one and only one
ride on the scenic railway in Oakland
during their step on the western
coast. Kiakahi evidently preferred
more gentle sports after that and re-
fused to take ride In a balloon at
st Louis.

South, hoped would be speedily estab-
lished after the civil war was ended

about much more speedily than in other
parts" said the late Granville z Dodge.
at time when he was telling some OF
his friends a few OF his "reminiscences
Of civil war days. when he was a major
general in the Union army.
Il presume that IL all over the country
there had been the same effort made to
eliminate the feeling OF disappointment
which was naturally and inevitably felt
by those who had taken part as Confed-
crate soldiers in the great struggle regret
and rancOr would have been much more
speedily ended than was the case
Il had personal and what for me was
conclusive proof OF the fact that where
kindly recognition of the courage and
devotion of the Confederate soldiers was
made all lurking feeling OF disappoint-
ment or resentment was speedily over
come.
AT one time during the war I was in
command in Missouri. We had consid-
cradle trouble with citizens Of Missouri
in sympathy With the Confederacy At
last, it seemed necessary for me to take
stern measures. and these consisted in
driving these people or as many of them
d. COulu ma OUT Oh the state. Natu-
rally enough, they were very angry with
me, and it would have Jared hard for me
had they caught me and held me as a
prisoner.
Immediately after the war was ended
III began active work as chief engineer
in the construction of the Union Pacific
Railroad. Many of those who were
driven from Missouri by me found their
way after the war into that part OF the
country which the Union Pacific pene-
! trated. They were very poor, and they
looked for employment in the construc.
tiOn work. I gave orders that every one
who was competent should be given work
All those employed were treated with the
utmost consideration, which they fully
appreciated.
A few years later after the Union
Pacific had been completed, l went out
on tour of inspection in my private car.
I stopped at Boise, Ariz., and, having
some business in the town, left the car
for two or three hours. When 1 returned
I was astonIshed and delighted to find
that somebody had brought so many
beautiful flowers that my car was like a
! perfect bow==. I asked some one who
had done this, not knowing any special
reason why l should have been compli.
mented in that way.
" General. these flowers were put into
| your car by some of the men you drove
| out Of Missouri was the reply. If they
| had caught you then they would have
hanged you. Now these flowers show
how differently they feel toward you anu
| this is their recognition OF the kindly
| courtesy you have shown to them"

. Subway Supports Building.

Quite an interesting piece Of engineer
ing is being accomplished at PhnadeI-
phia. where a sfour-track subway station
is being built beneath the city hall The
work is described and illustrated in the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
station will lie diagonsuy under the
southwest quarter OF the structure. which
occupies a square block OF ground and
is one of the large municipal buildings
of the country When il is completed II
will support that part Of the weight OF
the hall which was formerly carried by
the walls which have been removed 10

will hold UP the present Market street
bore. II is estimated that this load will
amount to- approximately DO. 900 tons
The underground work is being carried
on without interfering in any way with
the activities within the building. which
is nine stories in height and surrnounted
BY a F4S-foOt tower. From the exterior
there n also very little evidence OF what
is going on under the great building and

This is a lucky day. according to
astrOlogy. Uranus, Mercury and Venus
are in benefc aspect. Saturn is adverse
late in the afternoon.
Again there is strong direction to-
ward romance and lovemaking. Men and
women past the prime of life may be as
susceptible as the young and scandals
are foreshadowed.
Newspapers and periodicals continue
under a most encouraging sway. 1t is
predicted that they will publish much
that is sensational. and that through war
agitation peace will be preserved.
The sway is believed to be helpful to
women, whether they engage in good or
evil activities. Spies and secret service
agents have a fortunate direction
There is a sign held to indicate that a
statesman or public man, who is past
middle age, viii cause trouble in a del
cate national crisis, which will develop
early in the summer.
Canada has the representation of a
period that will test the country, bring
ing to 1t a new national consciousness.
Japan has a planetary government that
is believed to foreshadow military activ-
ity within few months.
Distinguished persons from many coun-
tries will visit Washington before the
autumn, the seers declare.
Rheumatism, neuralgia and kindred
ailments may be prevalent during the
late spring and summer.
Hotel proprietors, restaurant managers
and all who conduct resorts where rest
and recreation are insured should profit
greatly before the end of the year.
False prophets and teachers of strange
cults have the promise OF extraordinary
success. Fortune tellers and psychics
also have direction promising great
gain.
Persons whose birthdate II is have a
happy augury for the year. Financial
affairs win prosper. but there may be
danger in association with persons Of
opposite sex.
