A happy and humorous example of sarcasm as apart from repartee Is af- forded by the following anecdote. 1 quote it on the authority of a friend, who, T am afraid, was the villain of the Incident: A most imperturbable man was followed from Westmoreland street, Dublin, over the O'Connell bridge to the general postoffice by two little street arabs, who importuned bim for the end of his cigar. “Throw us the butt, sir! Ah, sir, throw us the butt!” cried the youths, but as the man did not betray the slightest consclous- ness of their existence they gave him op at last in despair and disgust. “Ar- rah, let him alone,” said one, with the most scorching scorn. *“Shure, it's a butt he's picked up himself.” I once heard a bumptious little man, who, acting as steward at athletic sports in Dublin, was very assertive In keeping back the crowd, thus ad- dressed by an angry spectator: “If the consate was taken out of yez, ye'd be no bigger than a green gooseberry, and ye're as sour as wan already! London Standard. Happiness From Troubles. Being human, happily or unhappily, we cannot deny the comfort to be found in the reflection that misery never lacks the company it loves. We all have our troubles, and some of us derive much satisfaction from the con- templation of them. Indeed, there are those who are happy only when wretch- ed, but these we believe to be as few In number as they are disagreeable in assoclation. The vast majority of hu- mans are normal and disposed, there- fore, in conformity with natural law, to smile when the skies are clear and to grieve under the portent of clouds; hence the ease with which worry takes possession of the mind, colors the dis- positlon and makes a cripple of effort. That causes abound we know and must admit, as we do almost uncon- sciously the certainty of death, but too little cognizance is taken of the fact that the effect of mere apprehen- slon, which is all that worry really 1s, may be subjected to simple mental treatment and be overcome.—George Harvey In North American Review. Vernet and the Veteran. “When Horace Vernet, the great French painter of battle scenes, was at the height of his fame,” said an art- ist, “when the prices he was getting ‘were enormous, a grizzled old veteran came to him one day and nald: “‘1 want you to make my picture to send home to my son. What, though, 18 your charge? “‘How much are you willing to pay? sald Vernet, smiling. “‘A franc and a half,’ was the an- swer. “‘Very good.” “And the artist, with a few quick strokes, dashed off a wonderful sketch of the old man. “The old man pald, tucked the sketch under his arm and carried it out tri- umphantly to a comrade who awaited him outside. “‘But I did wrong not to haggle a bit’ Vernet overheard him say. ‘I might have got it for a franc.’” Each Got What He Wanted. “A hunter set out one day to hunt, and a panther set out at the same time to eat,” said the lecturer. “‘I must have a fur overcoat,’ sald, the hunter. “‘I said the panther, ‘must have a dinper. “Some hours later, in a lonely wood, the panther and the hunter met. ‘“‘Aha, sald the hunter gayly, level- ing his gun, ‘here is my fur overcoat. “And he shot, but the panther, dodg- ing behind a tree, escaped unhurt. “Then the panther rushed forth be- fore the hunter could reload. “‘Aha, here’s my dinner,’ sald the panther. “And he fell upon the hunter and de- voured him, “Thus each got what he wanted, the hunter getting his fur overcoat and the panther getting his dinner. The Coach and Four Came. ‘Among the many records of Harrow school 18 that of a boy, the son of a poor iocal tradesman In a very small way of business. His schoolfellows often taunted him about his family poverty. Thelir thoughtless jeers, al- though hurting his feelings, drew from the lad the retort, “I Intend before I dle to ride in a coach and four.” The years sped by, and, lo and behold, the poverty stricken youngster of Harrow had developed Into Dr. Parr, the great- est scholar of his time, whose cus- tomary and favorite means of locomo- tlon was a coach and four!—London Mall. MEET N SAME PLACE Massachusetts Democrats Nomi nate Two State Tickets, FORCE OF POLICE ON HAND Bartlett Men Occupy the Stage and Front of Hall and the Whitney Fol- lowers Hold Their Convention in the Rear of the Room. Springfield, Mass, Oct. T.—Imme- diately after the call to order the Democratic state convention resolved itself into two bodles, Da-g 1 J. Kiley of the followers of Bart™.i for gov- ernor presiding over one section and ex-Congressman Conry, a supporter of Henry M. Whitney for governor, over the other. The Bartlett men held the e, While the Whitney men were assembled at the rear of the hall. A special detail of twenty policemen had been stationed in front of the plat- form with orders to permit no one from the auditorium to go upon the platform without the permission of the chairman. Atter Chairman Feeney of the state | committee called the convention to order Danlel J. Kiley was nominated for temporary chairman. At the same moment a motion was heard to sub- stitute the name of Joseph A. Conry. The Kiley motion was declared car- rled. While the convention was in a tur- moll ex-Congressman Conry, who occu- pled a box beside the stage, arose and attempted to act as presiding officer. The confusion was so great, however, that Mr. Conry left the box to go to the rear of the hall, toward which the Whitney delegates were moving. On the way he came in contact with Con- gressman O’Connell, brother of Danfel O’Connell, one of the Bartlett man- mgors. There was a clash, but the police prevented blows. The Bartlett delegates appointed committees and a motion that a com- mittee to draw up the state tioket be named was earried by acclamation. At this point Temporary Chairman Klley shouted to the police officers to keap order ip the rear of the hall, where the Whitney men were assem- bled. This was greeted with cheers for Whitney from the rear, which were immediately answered by three cheers for Bartlett from the front. Recess to Expedite Work. The Bartlett convention declared a recess to expedite committee work. The Whitney gathering worked ex- peditiously. They placed Henry M. ‘Whitney in nomination for governor by acclamation and the rest of their tioket was named in the same way. The other nominees are: Lieutenant governor, George 8. Schofleld, Ips- wich; secretary of state, 0. C. E. Charest, Holyoke; auditor, Joseph A. Conry, Boston; treasurer, Arthur Ly- man, Waltham; attorney general, Judge David F. O’Connell, Worcester. A platform condemning the Dingley tarif and advocating unrestricted trade with Canada and reciprocity wag adopted. . ‘When the Bartlett convention came together again Mr. Kiley appealed ‘to the police to silence the Whitney men and finally demanded 'that they be placed under arrest, but this was not done, George Fred Willlams read a plat form and it was adopted by acclama- tion. General Charles W. Bartlett was unanimously nominated for governor and John A. Thayer of Worcester for lteutenant governor. The state com- mittee was authorized to complete the ticket. With two conventions nominating full state tickets the question which ane shall be placed upon the official ballot at the November election -will rest with the state ballot law. com- mittee. It is probable, however, that an appeal will be made to the courts to determine the legality of some of the proceedings. WISCONSIN ROADS KILL 275 Rall Casualities of Last Fiscal Year as Shown by Reports, Madison, Wi Oct. 7.—Figures eompiled from the reports of the rail- way companies to the state railroad commission show that railroads of Wisconsin killed 276 people and in- jured 2,008 during the fiscal year just closed.

PFund for Girl Murderer. New York, Oct. 7.—A fund of sev- eral thousand dollars_has been raised for Bertha Claiche, who is serving a two years’ term in the Bedford refor- matory for killing Emil Gerdon, her former sweetheart, who, she declared, had enslaved her in this city.

West Springfleld, Mass.,, Oct. 7.— The boarding mistresses of this town have called a meeting to form a Board: ing Mistresses’ union, the occasion be- ing the greater cost of living and the higher rents demanded. Some have already raised the price of hoarding and rooms and In order that the price may be made general the union will be formed. INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. Plan Favored by Head of German Delegation. The Hague, Oct. 7.—Baron Mar- schall von Bleberstein delivered & noteworthy speech before the arbitra- tion committee of the peace confer- ence, during which he announced him- self to be in favor of obligatory arbi- tration, but opposed to a treaty in- cluding all the natlons of the world. The baron sald the general feeling wes that the conference, having dealt With questions of war, must do some: bitration on grounds similar to the general treaty recently concluded between Italy and Argentina, in other words, individual treaties between na- tlons in preference to a treaty includ- ing the whole world, which it was proposed should apply to jurldical and not to political matters, which, the speaker contended, it would be im- possible to separate, as what might be a juridical question In one country might be a political question in an- other, or might become political in re. gard to some other point of the litiga- tion. Continuing, he said that some of the subjects which the general arbi. tration treaty plan proposed to sub- mit to arbitration were such as could not possibly involve natlons in war. | Besides, it international and private law continue to develop as they had done during the past quarter of a cen. tury, it would be necessary to agree upon a method to apply them in a uniform manner throughout the world and establish an international high oourt, not only of arbitration but one of appeal. In conclusion the baron declared the project, instead of regu- lating international litigation, would create new difficulties. After listening to fifteen speeches the committee voted in favor of the principle of obligatory arbitration, the vote standing 30 ayes and 8 noes, the latter including Germany, Austria- Hungary, Roumania, China and Bel- glum. Five countries abstalned from voting and there were two absentees. MANEUVERS ABOVE LONDON British Army Balloon Makes Most Successful Flight. London, Oct. 7.—That the British army has made practical progress in the solution of the problem of aerial navigation was shown to the satis- faction of Londoners when the dirigi- ble war balloon which has been given several trlals at Aldershot camp salled from Farnborough, thirty-five miles southwest of here, to London and after maneuvering over the city started back to Aldershot. The balloon crossed the Thames at Blackfriars bridge and, making a sharp turn, proceeded over Fleet street and the Strand, making a complete circle over the latter thoroughfare, watched by thousands of people. The balloon then went around Tra- falgar square, over the war office and past Westminster abbey and the houses of parliament, traveling about fifteen miles an hour and being under complete control, The balloon {is sausage shaped, about 100 feet long by 30 feet in diam- eter and has a lifting capacity of about one ton, which, after deducting the weight of the car, engines and other apparatus, permits carrying a crew of three men. MUST CHANGE HER RELIGION Otherwise Miss Vanderbilt’s Marriage Will Be lllegal. New York, Oct. 7.—Gladys Vander- bilt must change her religion next month when she becomes the bride of Count Laszio Szechenyi. The “black aristocracy” of Vienna has become scandalized as a result of the announcement of the engagement and unless the voung woman becomes a Catholic the marriage will not be legally recognized in Austria proper. The count being a Catholic Miss Vanderbilt will continue to remain Miss Vanderbilt in Austria unless she changes her religion, although in the bridegroom’s country the marriage will bg considered perfectly legal and the young woman’s name will be in- scribed -as a full fledged countess on the roster of the Hungarian nobility. Issue of the marriage of the Sze chenyis would be looked upon as ille- gitimate in Austria, hence the “black aristocracy” is convinced that Miss Vanderbilt, in order to gain a standing In Austria, as well as in Hungary, must embrace the Catholic faith, as Anna Gould did when she married Castellane. BRYAN IS A CANDIDATE. But Johnson Will Have Minnesota’s Delegation, It Is Said.

HIS ACTION IS UNIQUE President Directs Suspension of River Captain’s License, INSPECTOR OBEYS COMMAND Offending Master Suspended by Wire Immediately Upon Receipt of Chief Executive's Message and an Appeal Will Be Useless. ‘Washington, Oct. 7. — President Roosevelt's action in directing the suspension of the license of the cap- tain of the steamer Fred Hartweg on the Mississippi 1iver for ninety days for violation of the navigation regula- tions is quite unlque in the history of the steamboat inspection service. No information has been received here respecting the order of the president. Supervising Inspector General George Uhler of the steamboat inspection service explained that each of the ves- sels accompanying the president down the Mississippi had been assigned to a definite place in the procession The -captain of each was given defl- nite instructions as to the pasition his vessel should occupy in the line of steamers. The steamer Fred Hartweg went down the Ohio from Pittsburg and joined the procession below St Louls, The local inspectors have absolute authority to deal with the incident and the action in ordering the cap- tain’s suspension following the pres ident’s telegram, which was in the na- ture of a formal charge, is final, unless an appeal should be taken to the au- thorities in Washington. Such ap- peals are not considered seriously, ex- cept in circumstances of extraordinary merit, as the inspectors are assumed to know what the facts are in each case and what penalty should be in- flicted. Orders Fmmediate Action. The message of President Roose- velt ordering the suspension of the license of the captain of the Hartweg was addressed to United States In- spector of Hulls Williams of Evans- ville, Ind., and was as follows: “I direct that the license of the mas- ter or whoever is responsible for the Fred Hartweg during the present voy- age be suspended at once for ninety days. 1 wish this done by telegraph wherever the boat may be if such pro- cedure is possible. Colonel Sears can give you the details of the misconduct, Which has been of serious nature and might have at any time caused an ac- cldent to this boat as well as to other boats.” Inspector Williams immediately is- sued telegraphic orders ordering the suspension of the licénse of the cap- tain of the steamer Hartweg for nine- ty days in accordance with the re- quest of President Roosevelt. The offense charged against the captain of the Fred Hartweg was rac- Ing with the steamer Alton, thereby endangering the Mississippi, on which President Roosevelt was traveling. The steamer Fred Hartweg's home port is Cairo. The boat is inspected at Evansville, ~ CAMP IN READINESS. Every Preparation Made for Comfort of President. Lake Providence, La., Oct. 7.—Pres- ident Roosevelt’s hunting camp in East Carroll parish is all in readiness for the arrival of the president and his party. Every preparation has been made to add to the comfort of the party and for two days men were at work building drains and arranging tents.

Five of the tents will be occupied by the white members of the party, while two will be turned over to the negro guldes and servants, the remaining tents being a kitchen, a dining tent and a canvas spread for the horses. Squirrels are numerous about the camp and plenty of trout can be caught in the Tensas. The servants left at the camp will hunt for small game during the day and will aid in providing foe the larder of the pres- ident’s party. The party will not be disturbed by visitors, as the camp is situated ten miles from a railroad and in a section of the country that has never heard a woodman’s axe befere men began work on the camp.

Eight Thousand Cotton Handlers on Strike at New Orleans. New Orleans, Oct. 7.—The immense ,cotton shipping business of this port is now completely tied up by the strike of 8,000 members of the Dock and Cotton Handlers’ union. The cotton handlers have arrayed against them all the business exchanges of New Orleans, which have declared that the commercial life jof the port depends upon the outcome of this strike. From 10,000 to 12,000 men probably will be involved because the ruilroad freight handlers have served notice that they will not work with nonunion men at the docks. The immediate cause of the strike was the refusal of 1,200 screwmen to load more than 160 bales per day working in gangs of five. Steamship agents demand that 200 bales be stowed.

Detectives have been working on the case for the last month and they assert that they caught Farrand with decoy letters and have a plain case against him. Farrand was bound over to the fed eral grand jury, gave bail and later was found dead in bed, having suffo- cated himself with chloroform. Youth Murders His Brother.

The business of the complainants is largely in the states of Iowa, Ne- braska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colo- rado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indi- ana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Ken- tucky, Michigan, Indian Territory and Oklahoma. They have an aggregate capital of $5,000,000. They produce annually 60,000,000 pourgds of butter of an aggregate value of $14,000,000, the net profit on which is asserted to be less than one-half a cent a pound. The complainants allege that, under the present rates for the transporta- tlon of cream, they pay the defendant lines more than $600,000 a year in frelght and express charges. | It is alleged further that by concert of action the defendants decided and announced they would increase their charges for the transportation of cream after Sept. 1, 1907, from an average of 1 cent a pound of the but- ter produced to an average of 1% cents a pound, or from 30 cents per ten-gallon can to 50 cents per ten gallon can of cream. This, the com- plainants allege, constitutes . con- spiracy. MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED No Arrests in Connection With Ore- gon Assassination. Baker City, Ore., Oct. 7.—Newspa- per representatives here have estab- lished what they believe to be incon- trovertible evidence that three men were implicated in the assassination of Harvey K. Brown and that one was attired in & woman's kimono. It is believed that the one who posed as a woman pulled the wire which exploded the bomb, as a woman Wwas seen near by shortly before the tragedy. Three men visited a store to pur- chase a kimono and had a discussion regarding the size of the garment, one declaring he could not wear it as it was too small. Noting the look of surprise on the clerk’s face he said it was for a large woman. He purchased a large garment. Shortly before this purchase, it is said, a man visited another store and was shown some Mother Hubbard wrappers, but bought a teddy bear, probably to divert attentlion. A witness has been found who saw two men and a supposed woman near the scene shortly before the explosion. Both men asked for matches and to- bacco. One of the men bore a striking resemblance to the man who pur- chased the kimono. The authorities believe the murderers are still in the city. Knapp Talks to Grain Dealers, .
