H. McCarthy, who | on Sunday in Central Park dendunced Mr. Francis J. Heney as an enemy of the people and unfit for any public trust! President Roose- velt selected Mr. Heney for the most important public trust ever imposed upon any man on this side of the continent, as special pros- ecutor of the most powerful ring of land grafters that ever worked its game on the public domain. | It is the opinion of P. H. McCarthy, marshal of last night’s Ruef parade, that the President conferred this trust upon a man utterly unfit for it. It was enough to make the bronze statues on the old sand lot yell “Hurroo” when they heard it. Mr. McCarthy is hyperzealous and superofficious now for Mayor Schmitz, whom he denounced two years ago as unfit for Mayor. His opinions of fitness and unfitness seem liable to wobble. = e e el DON'T FORGET THE TICKET. Woffice of Mayor, voters to-day should not forget the need of an able and honest man in the office of District Attorney, nor that a good Board of Supervisors is a necessary safeguard to the public welfare. The members of the bar have, in wisdom and unanimity, rallied to the support of Mr. Brandenstein for District Attorney and have joined the people in commending him to the voters. The fusion candidates for the Board of Supervisors should be all elected. Most of them have been tried in that office. The Call supported a majority of them two years ago, regardless of partisan- ship, and its judgment has been ratified by their upright conduct in HILE the fight for good government has centered upon the | reach bis present high position. —— b — | , f | PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE. + ENMAN THOMPSON, the veteran;a distinguishing characteristic of his ed to him in the course of his profes- actor, was 72 years old the other|noted grandsire, combined with a taste ! sional career.

Among the many tributes which he received, one of the most strik- ing was a monster cake. The top of the cake represented a rural scene with a miniature cow, pasture, barnyard, etc., and around the edge were seventy-two candles of various colors. Mr. Thompson was much affected on entering his dress- ing room to see the tributes from his friends and admirers. Then his charac- teristic humor broke forth as he surveyed the cake and said: *I don’t mind zbout eating the candies, but F1l draw the line on cake at my time of life.” King Alfonso of Spain, unless reports do him injustice, on occasion acts like an unbroken colt. While in Cabadonga re- cently the Bishop showed him some sa cred relics in the cathedral there. His Majesty referred to them as ‘‘nonsense,’” greatly to the horror of the preiate. One evening the King slipped away from the palace disguised as a laborer and at- tended a workman's ball, passed the night dancing, drinking and flirting and came back about daylight half intoxi- cated. In reply to the remonstrations of his alarmed mother he.told her to mind her own business and respect his author- ity like his other subjects. The queen mother continuing her protest he threat- ened to have her ejected from the palace. Just then arrived his father confessor, in whom he has great confidence, and his tipsy Majesty went to bed. Colonel George Nicholson, chief engi- neer of the Queen and Crescent, Is known to all his acquaintances as a most indefatigable worker. Not long | ago Colonel Nicholson was one of a group of men discussing the value of | collegiate training and the early ad- vantages that some of those present had been go fortunate as to enjoy. ing to the Colonel, one of the group ed him what had been the education and schooling that had enabled him to “Oh, was I never did do anything but work, the answer.

Hearing that Miss Phoebe Couzins, the noted woman suffragist, was at one of the hotels there, Mrs. Nation called and sent up her card. Miss Couz- ins told the bellboy: “I do not want cither to see or talk with Mrs. Nation.” Carrie departed in triumph, saying Miss Couzins was afrald of an interview. The latter dryly coincided in this view on hearing of the saloon-smasher’s remark. An English physiclan named Scholes has written a book of over 400 pages to disprove the current view that the col- ored races are essentially, inferior, social- ly and intallectually, to-the white races. He claims that the anclent Egyptians were of negro stock, that European civ- flization is of comparatively mushroom growth, while the Egyptlans, Mexicans, Peruvians, Chinese and other colored races attained to high degree of culture long before our ancestors emerged from semi-barbarism. Mrs. E. J. Way, from South Africa, has been wihning honor as a crack shot in an English shooting tournament. Clad in a brown shooting costume she shot in the full military prone position at 200 yards and In a sweepstake made 31 out of a possible 35. When aiming she brings the brim of her hat closely over the sight, so that the bar is in perfect shade. She twists her boer pattern sling around the upper arm and shoots with great steadi- ness. g 3 In the long list of explorers to speak this winter before the Royal Geo- graphical Society of London, Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman of Worcester, Mass,, i the only woman lecturer.

S. M. Cunningham, a lawyer of Law- ton, Okla, has a notable personality outside of his success as a professional man. A western editor refers to him as “Lawyer Cunningham, he of the flowing hair, the eagle eye, the smooth- ly shaven face, the wide expanse of rufled shirt front, the dangling chain of gold and the undulating Prince Al- bert, the whole surmounted with a rak- ish broad-brimmed hat of black.” It is said Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylvania intends to sell his fine and unusual historical library. He has a fine collection of Franklin jmprints, probably 160 volumes, and about 200 old German- town reprints. This section is valued at $10,000. There is also a long serles of Presidential autographs and letters, with other papers ranging from a manuscript diary of Washington's down to Lincoln’s marriage license. Truman H. Newberry of Detroit, who has assumed the duties of Assistant Secretary of the Navy, is one of the richest young men in Michigan. He is 41 years of age and a graduate of the sclentific sehool of Yale University. Willlam Loeb, Jr., Secretary to the President, is an enthusiastic eques- trian and a good rider. While in Oyster Bay last summer it was his cus- tom to make lis trips twice dally to Sagamore Hill. on horseback. He has a fine mount, a western range mare sifed by a pure-blooded Arablan. William J. Palmer, founder of Colo- rado City, Colo., has given. that city $1,000,000 or more in the way of parks, large sums to its charitable institu- tions, bullt a driveway up the Bear Canyon and now has bought up another large tract of ground with the inten- tion of turning it into a park. Edmond Rostand has made so much money with the products of his pen that he has been able to engage three popular Parisian artists, Jean Veber, Henrl Martin and Caro Delvaille, to decorate his Basque Villa at Cambo. Prince Khillhoff, who has acquired fame in connection with the Trans- Siberian railway, renounced his title and estate when a young man and emi- grated to this country, where he work- ed at a bolt machine at a salary of 50 a week. L AJOR WILLIAM R. WETMORE, a millionaire resident of Allen- - M hurst, N. J., and the oldest member of the New York Yacht Club, has contrived a scheme whereby he 1 keep in direct communication with his brokers in Wall street while he tours the New Jersey roads In his au- tomobile, says the New York World. A wireless telegraph instrument of ris own construction has been placed in the tonneau of the car and a similar instrument is in the raiflroad statlon it Allenhurst. There the station mas- ter, Fred Gerner, receives messages by wire from New York and transmits them by wireless to Major Wetmore. It makes no difference where the | major is he can keep track of the rise and fall of stocks in which he is In- terested. Station Master Gerner says the instrument will transmit a distance of twenty miles and it is seldom that Major Wetmore ever goes farther than this in his automobile. Gerner says that there is no reason in the world why every broker own- ing an automobile should not equip it with this arrangement. He keeps in constant communication with his office when he is traveling on Long Island or in New Jersey. If the batteries are strong enough and the coil large messages can easily be sent i forty and fifty miles. | The possibilities of the wireless au- tomobile are so great that there is talk of forming a company to manufacture the instruments. The one in operation at Allenhurst is simple and compact, yet | signals can be heard plainly for miles. |~ Young Gerner was of great assist- ance to Major Wetmore when he de- cided to try the experiment. Gerner is an expert operator and his experlence made it possible to carry out the scheme. While the major worked on the batteries and colls Gerner rigged {up a receiver and transmitter. The transmitter is as crude as it | could well be. Two ‘pieces of board | are fastened together in the shape of a cross and copper wires are strung across these. The transmitter looks more like a lacrosse bat than anything else. The receiver is an ordinary tele- phone receiver. Major Wetmore and Gerner are both telegraph operators. They understand the Morse code and the code used in the navy. Conversation is kept up MILLIONAIRE HAS A'WIRELESS AUTO. bs from the time Major Wetmore leaves his house. The wireless instruments were in- stalled in the automobile and the rail- road station three weeks ago. Al- though purely an experiment at first, the arrangement has proved of such value to Major Wetmore that he will undoubtedly increase the power of the batteries and cells so that he will al- ways be within speaking distance of Wall street. Other residents of Allenhurst are considering adopting the plan. James M. Payne, a nephew of Judge Payne of Washington, D. C., has one of the transmitters on top of his house, so that he can get messages from his folks .at Washington. talked with Major Wetmore while the latter was many miles from Allenhurst in his auto. 4 Major Wetmore is a millionaire sev- eral times over and spends little time | in New York. He is largely interested in active stocks. Before he thought of the wireless arrangement he was re- luctant to travel far. Now he feels no hesitancy in staying out on the road all day, for he can give any order he wishes to his brokers. . AN EMPTY CHAIR.

The suite is small and their wants are not exacting and o the young woman does her own work. Nat- urally she does her own marketing as well, and being of an economical turn of mind tries to buy so that they will have all they need without any waste. More especially is this admirable trait shown when she buys her meats, her steaks be- ing diminutive, but most deliclous. The other night she had a personally selected porterhouse steak for dinner, and it occurred to her to get out one of the wedding presents for the occasion, a huge carying set that had hitherto reposed in its velvet lined case. She laid the broad and shining blade of the knife across the platter and then called her husband. “Come, Henry,” she cried, "and test your Uncle John's gift on a Jjuicy steak.” Henry came and stated at the platter. “Why, where's the steak?’ he asked. The steak?’ echoed the young wife. 'l'“'hy. it's right there—why, where is 14 0d And she stared at the platter, too. “Are you sure it was there?” cried the bewildered husband. “Of course I'm sure. moment ago, and—"" And just then the husband raised the huge ‘carving knifé that had been stretched across the platter. And there It was there a WOMAN'S SUPERIORITY. . Professcr Chamberlain of Clark Univer- sity has figured out that women have a whole lot more ability than men. Fol- lowing is his little list: “As an actor she has greater ability and more frequently shows it. “She is noticeably better in adaptabil- ty. “‘She is much more charitable—in money matters. “Under reasonable opportunities she is more gifted at diplomacy. “She has greater genius In polities. “She more commonly has executive ability. “Her “Her “Her “Her “‘Her ‘‘Her “She “‘Her ‘‘She “Her ‘‘She ‘“‘She ‘“‘She “She forms hearing is more acute. imagination is greater. intuitions are greater. memory is better. patience is greater. perceptions are more rapid. has greater religious devotion. instinct for sacrifice is greater. bears pain more heroically. sympathy is greater. has greater tact. has more acute taste. has greater vitality. has more fluency in the lower of speech.—Chicago Journal. —_——— Patience punctures many a portentous looking obstacle. was the porterhouse steak hiding beneath the broad blade!—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Once upon a time there was a young man who was knock-kneed and bow- legged, and his eyebrows and his bair grew so closely together that nobody { could distinguish more than a line be- tween them, and his features resembled a blur, and even his friends admitted that he would draw a valuable prize In a | homely men’s contest. And at the same time there dwelt | upon the earth a maiden who also was— { but no, I cannot say that she was knock- kneed, for how should I know?—but she certainly was not handsome, and her face frequently stopped the kitchen clock, although just one sight of her freckles set it to going again. In short, she was one of these girls of whom their friends say, “Ske is so good.” Now it chanced that in thejr wandering these two cafhe upon each other. And, behold! a miracle. For the miaiden was fair and beautiful in the eyes of the young man, and in her eves he was noble and good to look upon. So it came to pass that they joined hands and walked together, and although this was long ago, each still is glorified unto the vision of the other. Moral: It fs Love, and Love alone, that can work this miracle of miracles, and he still performs it, so that if you keep vour eyes open you shall see it somewhere about you every day. “It was a very remarkable case.” “What was?’ “Why, Bings gave ten thousand dollars to an eleemosynary Institution.” “I don’t see anything remarkable about that.” “Perhaps not, but he insisted that the fact sbould not be advertised.” “Her mother ran across the love letters that Mary had received from John and thought of denouncing them as vapid and silly, but she didn't.”” “Why not?” “She remembered just in time that Mary had seen the love letters her father and mother Interchanged before they were married.” The wind blows over, the wind blowss through, Blows ever, but I just smile, For it makes me think of a chap I knew, And he “blowed” all the while. = I TEF LIRS % The Smart Set { BYASALLY SHARP.
