I “Will you accept the nomination?” he was asked. 5g “It is hardly fair to ask me to answer that question,” replied Mr. Roose velt, “because the offer has not reached me, and I have no ; it will. I do not know that Mr. Fox is coming down here to see m@. ~ ¥ I came her I had planned to remain until next Monday.” It was said at Tammany Hall late this afternoon that Mr. Fox had started for Sayville.

It was ‘te — visit him that President Roosevelt took his famous all-night ride scrote ng Island last summer. = rc ovata politicians gasped when they heard of the offer of the nomina-— tion to Mr. Roosevelt, because he has always been quite active in polities. and there have been things printed about his utterances that might prove embarrassing at this time were they revived. In common with his die tnguished nephew he has a predilection for literature, and has written # number of books, One of these is called “Five Acres Too Much.” STUNG THE IRISH IN HIS BOOK. This book was published a great many years ago. It could not Be bought now for any amount of money. In 1892, when Mr. evelt WRB + ‘Vreagurer of the National Democratic Campaign Committee, an Irish new © paper printed the following extracts from “Five Acres Too Much:” ke “The inhabitants of the Emerald Isle are certainly a magni race, especially when their biographer does not happen to own a aah which has strayed on their land and does not want to run for Alder man; and if they did not lie, steal, cheat, rob, murder, get drunk, pet jure themselves, quarrel, fight and insist upon damages unreasonably 4 they would be almost as good as other nations, ae “My five acres at Flushing were located on the top v. ied Monkey Hill; why so called I cannot imagine, To be sure there wai a settlement of Irish on one declivity near a salt meadow, but even” supposing that, by a stretch of the imagination, Irishmen can be com verted into monkeys, that is of comparatively modem date, whereas our Dutch ancestry named the hill generations back. 1 wander through Monkey Town occasionally, admire the originality of its Ce tic architecture, puzzling myself over the buildings to find out which are pig pens and which houses, for the pig pens are so like houses and the houses so like pig pens that it is hard to tell them apart. FAR AWAY, SAYS MR, ROOSEVELT. In explanction of these passages, Mr. Roosevelt said that it had so long ago that he could scarcely remember it; that the book was im @ sense a work of fiction in which an imaginary person was made to make a@ imaginary statement to another persou. He denied the justice of making an author responsible for the language of his characters, Mr. Roosevelt married Mrs, Marion O'She.. Fortescue in London, She was an Irish Catholic, the widow of an army officer, and secured @ special © dispensation from the Pope to marry Mr. Roosevelt. : For his services as Treasurer of the National Campaign Committee Mr. Roosevelt was appointed Minister to Holland.
