On December the >8tli, 135,3, be married in ltoswell, Oh., Mr. Theodore Roasevelt, of New York, to Miss Martha Bulloek, of Uoawell. ^To this couple was born j that Theodore Roosevelt who ia now president of these United 8 la tea. Thus our president ia half New Yorker and half Georgian; coinbilling the business energy of the North with the chivalric courtesy and boldness of th? South; a repreaeutalive man of both sections. Thus he seems to be particularly fitted for blotting out that sectional line in po Hies which for a generation has been constantly drawn to the advantage of the North and to the disadvantage of the South. That he is such a President as we have long wanted is seen by his appointment of Ex-Governor .Tones of Alabama to a Federal t i l .v -i ? luugnsmp, inougn ue is a Lieinocrnt. Also by his telling ?)r. Clayton of this State, "1 am going to select tho very beet men for public positions. Men appointed to public places must be high in morals and in every other respect. If tlit? American people care to show their approval of my course uh President, during the three years and a half tlint 1 have to serve, by placing me at the head of the Republican ticket in 1904, 1 should feel deeply grateful. Rut if 1 have to pander to cliques or combinations for their approval, 1 would not give a snap of my finger for a nomination under such circumstances. My endorsement must cone from the people of the country." 13. ?- ??. Tot Causes Night Alarm. "One night my brother's baby whs taken with Croup," writes Mrs. rl. C.
