SPIDERS LARGE AS PLATES
SHARE ROOM WITH FAMILY
Sleep in Day and Chase CocNoaches
All During Night

While the family is asleep in Trini-
dad, an island of the West Indies,
giant spiders and cockroaches have a
merry time in the house. The spiders
are big fellows, their bodies as big
as a 50-cent piece, while their eight
legs, if spread out, extend all the way
across cheese plate. Naturally, they
can run fast.
During the day father spider and
mother spider hide in corner of the
room. After dark, when the family
is in bed, they come out and chase
the cockroaches all over the place. By
morning they have their appetites sat
ished, and they again hide themselves
for the day. Since the cockroaches
multiply pretty fast in Trinidad the
spiders have no fear of food short
age.

The funeral of William McKin-
ley in September, 1901, was one
of the most solemn and yet bril-
liant spectacles L ever witnessed.
The body of the late President
arrived in Washington on the night
or September Is. The following
DAY, escorted by a procession one
and half miles long, it was
taken from the White House to
the Capitol, where it lay in state
the remainder of the day.
1t was estimated at the time
that at least $4,000 persons viewed
the body during the several hours
1t was at the Capitol. 1 feel safe
In saying that if the late Presi-
dent Harding's body is brought to
the Capital that at least $4,000 will
view 1t If the body is there any
length of time.
Owing to a statute prohibiting
the draping of public buildings, no
Capitol or White House. That
evening, President McKinley's body
started on the trip to Canton, Ohio,
for interment.
Since McKinley's death Washing.

This will mean that the crowds
attending the funeral will be much
greater than at the Mckinley cere.

Catherine Dabord, a young
gypsy, was summoned at Astl,

In defense she produced full

Despite this, however, Miss

Death of Sumner Curtis.

It is a singular coincidence that

eral of the newspaper men accom-

over a cliff and two of the occupants

Sumner Curtis yesterday parallels
that OF Ben Allen nearly four years
ago. Both men were so we'll known
in Washington that the tragedies
were especially shocking to the cap

Sumner Curtis was identified with
newspaper work in Washington as
long ago as 1891 and since then has
been one Of the foremost figures in

has devoted himself to other lines

The Leviathan.

as to. the propriety of taking a large

Leviathan in anticipation of her
entrance upon the regular sehsduis

But it is a question whether 1t was
necessary thus to advertise the

Anthracite and a Third Party.

President Harding, before leaving
Washington, wrote to John Hays
Hammond, chairman of the Coal Com
mission, urging that the report on
anthracite mining be speeded up, so
as to be available in the threatened
controversy over the miners wages
this summer. The wage contracts ex-
pire August 81. The warning has gone
forth there Is danger of another strike.
A strike in the anthracite mines
this year, similar to last years, un-
doubtedly would lend impetus to de-
mand for public ownership of the
mines. Politically, it would spell dis
aster to administration forces in New
England and other parts of the coun-
try which rely upon hard coal for
their fuel. Politically, it might lend
the required push to bring about or
ganization of a third party--a party
standing on a platform of government
ownership Of the great public utilities
the coal mines, transportation, Pc
troleum, etc.
Political parties in the United States
have been created by the development
of sentiment among the people. Dis.
gruntled politicians ansS leaders In old
parties have never been successful in
attempts to form new parties merely
by conferences AMONG themselves.

There may be q congressional In
vestigation of the IieSiathah trip and
1t. may bring out some Interesting
fact not now known, or throw now
absent light upon the known facts
about this trip. But 1t is to be doubted
if 1t VIII greatly stir the country,
even though the voyage may be
shown to have been without warrant
or need.
The fact Is that the ship has made
a successful run. has functioned per-
fectly in all conditions and has scored
the highest speed on record. While
American pride In the Leviathan Is
not as great as though this ship had
been built originally in the United
States, it is still high because of the
fact that the work of reconditioning,
which has been done by American
hands, has been almost a reconstruc-
tfon and the Leviathan as she rests
today at dock in New York. and as
she will sail next week on her first
trip. is practically an American
product.
