I'V , v ! WOULD NOT JOIN PARTY. Old Negro Refused to Help the President Hunt Bears in ilississippi. A story comes from Mississippi of an interesting incident of the President's bear hunting expedition. The story goes that an old negro man who has a very fine pack of bear dogs was asked to accompany tne President's hunting party and assist in locating the bears. The old negro once belonged to the Hampton's and declined to heln the President find bears, declaring that he used to hunt with Mars Wade and could not hunt with anybody from the north. He also refused to lend his dogs to the party according to the story. Qur New York Letter. That New York is the pulse of America, particularly in politics, there is no doubt, Your correspondent has always taken a lively interest from early age in matters of state, and here observing closely, studying situations from every standpoint, it is not difficult to draw conclusions and report the true state of atfairs. The indications, notwithstanding all the talk and newspaper comment to the contrary, are, that Mr. Roosevelt will not be the candidate of his partv next year. If he was there would be a dividend Republican - party as there is now a divided Democracy. That he could get the ? * nomination goes without saying, but r he will neither seek it nor accept it. ' If Roosevelt was the candidate, while he would get a big vote from Democrats and Independents, he would lose more than he gained in these from both, from his own party. Mr. Roosevelt is too much of a man fo the people to suit the monied interests of the country. There are going to be aspirants and aspirants, > x favored sons and favored sons, but movlr tVifl rhflS F! XUCU A U1V yi vuAWiVii v*?v^i Hughes before the convention adjourns is going to be the nominee, with Foraker for vice president. The Democrats are going to lead a forlorn hope unless they unite, for the two wings are too far apart; fe- united and with new men and old issues, with old Democratic ideas or Br - ideas fashioned after the Rooseveltian kind, then they ^will have a Kfev lighting chance. Every present leader must be relegated, not necessarily to the rear, \Y hut anyway to the ranks, giving t/1 place to others, such as Douglass, Folk and Aycock, up-to-date Demo crats. , i While the writer knows and names I the Kepublican ticket, ne is not as yet prepared to forward the Democratic, nor will a prophesy be put forth until the breaches are healed, B&;.. the old leaders retired and the new ones forced to the front. The beati ' ing of the pulse can be felt, watched, m and studied, and it will be easy to 7. forecast results. H. W. Finlayson, 450 Broadway, New York. The Best Paper for Family Reading.

The Youth's Companion, 144 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass. His Wife Looked After That. In an absorbing article on "The Influence of the Business Woman on Home Life," in the November issue of the Woman's Home Companion. Mrs. Anna Steese Richardk}. son cites the following true instance jfl from real life to prove her point that . the less successful husband of the successful business woman is always Ssf&P held in contempt. The superintendent of a large deVy. * partment store was interviewing an applicant for the position of floor walker. The man was well groomed, well dressed and prosperous looking. I' He had some excellent credentials, too, but, as is customary, he was obliged to account for every month of work for three years previous. . He admitted lightly that he had not worked for the preceding four months. "Where were you?" asked the su. perintendent. "Up state, visiting my folks. Hadn't seen father and mother for a good while." "Rnt whn snnnortftd vour familv during that time?" , "Oh, my. wife looked after that. Perhaps you have heard of her?Mrs Blank of Dash & Co." The superintendent had heard of her. He knew her to be one of the best paid women in that particular line of business ? and a tireless worker. He looked at the faultessly groomed man, and said bluntly: "Sorry, but we don't want your kind. We need men who have to work, men who cannot take a day off when they happen to feel like it." And then, as the applicant turned away with a shrug of his shoulders, the superintendent, who employs some two thousand women, remarked grimly, "That is what we're making of able-bodied men by employing women." - f r 1 f HT nuTucurnoin un ML nimu Great Britain Embarrassed by Canadian Anti-Asiatic Riots.

Western Union Won't Compromise. j FOREIGN Api.nta! RIntm A situation involving grave peril to person and property at Vancouver and other coast towns has developed from a series of anti-Asiatic riots. It appears that the feeling of the laboring classes in that section had been Y \ growing more Mm? \ bitter for a long I time until it d&Sb 0 knew no bounds. ^ The first outV r \ break was at Bellingham, in state ?* V\ . J Washington, forty-eight miles V\ W south of Van1. couver, Sept. 5, Wi xL when a mob of ' Xs \ r \A 500 white men \ J raided the mills / along the water . front, where the Eari Grey. Hindoos were working. They also attacked the lodging houses and drove the Hindoos, half naked and whipped, from the place, 400 of them being placed in jail or In the city hall for protection. Seven hundred and fifty others escaped across the Canadian line. Some were so badly hurt that they had to be taken to the hospital.' Two days later in Vancouver there was a big antioriental demonstration, in which 10,000 white men took part, and at its end a raid was made upon the Chinese and Japanese quarters. Two thousand orientals were driven from their homes, and much of their property was destroyed. The immediate cause of the outbreak was the arrival of the steamer Kumeric from Honolulu with 1,300 Japanese, followed by another steamer with a somewhat smaller load. These steamers had been chartered by HaAvaHamm wKa finrvrvHa/1 AQaK Ton Tvifh n anaiis, nuv ?uvu ?? the $25 requisite for Canadian Immigrants. Next day the mob attacked 500 Japanese who were landing from a steamer, and in the riot Baron Ishii, chief of the Japanese bureau of foreign commerce, and the Japanese consul at Seattle were maltreated. The Japanese and Chinese residents of Vancouver immediately began to buy arms until the authorities forbade their sale. The mayor of Vancouver telegraphed Premier Laurier that twenty of the rioters had been arrested and said that the attacks had been directed against orientals in general and not against the Japanese in particular. Earl Grey, the governor general of Canada, telegraphed the mayor his regret at the indignities upon the subjects of Japan, the friend and ally of Great Britain, and expressed the hope that peace would be restored promptly. Czar's Yacht Runs Aground. The czar and czarina were on board their yacht, Standart, when it went ashore on the coast of Finland and refused to leave the yacht until the tugboats and cruisers should come to pull the boat off. The zemstvo congress* at Moscow has rejected the latest proposal of Premier Stolypin for local self government in which persons of +all ranks should cooperate on equal terms. The Liberals demanded that the suffrage be given to women also. The Finnish diet has opposed the demand of the czar's government for an appropriation of $4,000,000 to support the military service of the Russian empire. The fourth member of the band oi' Russian officials which tortured Maria Spiridonovo, the assassin of General Lugenvosky, has been killed by the terrorists, who vowed to avenge the sufferings of this woman, who is now spoken of as the Russian Joan of Arc. British Airship Successful. The first military aingiDie uaiiouu j built in England made two successful trial trips Sept. 10, thus bringing Great Britain into line with France and Germany in the matter of aerial war machinery. The British balloon, which is sausage shaped and 100 feet long by 30 feet in diameter, with capacity of 75,000 cubic feet, its car made, of aluminium and canvas, went up to the distance of 500 feet in -the presence of a great throng of people, performed various evolutions with and against the wind and returned to the starting point. She dipped and rose with the greatest ease and reached a pace of twelve miles an hour. At one time the vessel turned around In its own length. F. S. Cody, an American, is the inventor. The Regulation of Warfare. While various peace propositions have been under consideration by committees of The Hague conference, it should be understood that no decision is final until adopted unanimously at a full plenary session of the conference. Such a session was held Sept. 7. when a large number of rules were adopted reJating to the regulation of warfare. One of particular interest to the smallej powers was that the territory of a neytral should be Inviolable and that euch a state may protect Its neutrality by force without committing a hostile act. This principle had already been recognized in practice, but now becomes embodied in international law. The right of asylum is also defined so that if a prisoner who has once reached neutral ground should be recaptured he must be set free. Another rule follows practice in not permitting volunteers to be enlisted in neutral territory or a body cf filibusters organized. Belligerents are also forbidden to establish wireless telegraph stations or other means of communication in neutral territory. The exportation of provisions from neutral states to belligerent ports is forbidden. Finally the rule was adopted that hostilities must not begin without previous unequivocal notice In the form either of a declaration of war, setting forth its motives, or of an ultimatum accompanied with a conditional declaration of war, and .a state of war must be noti" - a ?JAV- ??x nAiifnol nATTora Lieu W1UIUUL UCiaj IV auuuui |/vffv?w French In Morocco Aggressive. Through the use of a captive balloon the French forces under General Drude at Casablanca discovered a Moorish camp of 600 tents hidden in the hills six miles away. With this information in his possession, General Drude in person led a force of six companies in an attack upon the Moorish camp. The Arab commander made a gallant defense, but his forces were compelled to flee, and his camp was burned. It was expected that the French would continue the advance into the interior. INDUSTRIAL ! Lusitania's Maiden Voyage. Great was the maiden voyage of the Lusitania, the big new turbine liner of the Cunard Steamship company, which arrived at New York Sept 13. although she did not equal the best speed record of the North German Lloyd liner Deutschland. The latter's record was, of course, made under the most favorable conditions after the machinery had been worked into the smoothest shape, and the maiden achievement of the Lusitania is so *?? ? ~ far In excess or any previuus uiaiucu voyage, considering weather conditions, that It becomes only a matter of a little time and favoring weather for her to lower the world's transatlantic record and make the trip from Queenstown to Sandy Hook in less than five days. As it was, the Lusitania finished this voyage of 2,782 miles, held back by fogs, in 5 days 54 minutes, or 6 hours and 20 minutes off the best record for that course, made by the Lucania in October, 1894. The record held by the Deutschland for the Cherbourg course, a distance of 3,024 miles, is 5 days 11 hours 54 minutes, or Just two hours shorter. The Lusitania's average speed was 23.01 nautical miles an hour as against the Deutschland's average of 23.51 and the Kaiser WIIbelin II.'s 23.58. The record for the best daily run is still held by the Deutschland, which in August, 1901, ran (501 miles in twenty-four hours. The Lusitania's best daily run was 593 miles. Thrf giant turbiner received a noisy welcome from the fleet of excursion boats and harbor craft as she passed up to her pier, herself decked with flags from stem to stem. From ferry houses and the windows* of the tall nflRn" hnllHIncrc ftf Vow Vnrl" , thrtii sands of people were watching the progress of the great vessel as she moved at half speed -up the North river, while the passengers thronged the rails and waved their handkerchiefs In answering salute. The Lusitania is the largest as well as the swiftest steamship afloat, her length being 790 feet, width 88 feet and her displacement 25,000 tons, while her quad: runle screws are turned by 60,000 horsepower turbine engines. The passengers say that there was very little seasickness and that the great liner rgde the seas with wonderful steadiness and smoomness. Close on,the heels of the Lusitania came the French liner La Provence, having lowered the record from Havre to 6 days, 1 hour and 5 minutes. Western Union Stands Pat. a The expected conference between the leaders of the striking telegraphers and the Western Union did not materialize, and the executive committee of the company sustained the course of the officials in a formal resolution which referred to the "late strike" as though it were a closed incident. President Small of the union and President Gom pers of the American federation were in New York, and both said that there would be no surrender. The Western Union declared Its regular quarterly dividend as usual, but did not publish the earnings for the quarter, as is customary. Meat Wagon Strike Settled. The strike of the meat wagon drivers of New York against the employ ers' association has been settled npon the following terms: Wages are to be the same as before the strike; there is to be no discrimination for or against union or nonunion men; sixty-five hours is to constitute a week's work, and all grievances and the question of overtime are to be left to arbitration. None of the competent strike breaki ** s ers are to be discharged to make room for the strikers. Cuts in Ocean Rates. The war between the transatlantic steamship lines was continued, the International Mercantile Marine announcing that iirst cabin rates from New York to Liverpool on such ships as the Baltic, Oniric and Celtic would be $72.50, a reduction from $1)5. and that the eastward rates would be from now on $57.50, a reduction from $80. The rate by the Atlantic Transport fleet will be $50 Instead of $70 for first cabin to London, and the big Adriatic of the White Star line will carry passengers for $77.50 instead of $95. The Cunard followed suit with a first cabin rate of $72.50, including Mediterranean ports, and $57.50 on the Umbria and Rtriirla." CorresDondlne cuts were ex pected from the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American. COMMERCIAL Harriman Discounts Wall 8treet. On his way back from an extended vacation in the Sierras E. H. Harriman, the railway magnate, was interviewed at Buffalo on the business situation and delivered himself of the following optimistic opinion of Wall street and the outlook: "What sort of a reflector is the street after all? I'll tell you?it's a false one. What matters it if stocks show the upward turn of a point one day and a downward switch of two or five the next? That Is no indication of the real wealth of the country or of the country's prosperity, and It is no reflection of actual conditions. There's no panic coming. We've had An/1 nATTr If'fl OaI n CP a TTTQ TT ** UUl pa LI IV, OUU uvn 11,0 guiug uttuj. He said further that New Yorkers were In the habit of thinking that the busy men of the country governed all their movements and plans by Wall street but he didn't pay any attention to it, and the great west was becoming so enormously ri"h that Its people were able to take care of themselves. Passenger and freight traffic had been enormous, crops were big, and factories were running full capacity. New York's Big Bond Sale. When the bids were opened by Comptroller Metz Sept. 10, * it was found that New York city's $40,000,000 4% per cent gold bond issue had been subscribed more than five times over, the total aggregating $207,159,420. Two of the bids were for the entire Issue, one by the Morgan syndicate and the other by "Postage Stamp" White, the man who formerly secured an allotment of government bonds with only the stamps necessary to mall his bid to Washington, raising the necessary money after the award had been made. In this case the comptroller was Inclined to doubt the expediency of awarding any bonds to White because bis check for the 2 per cent deposit of $100,000 was drawn on a banking house the status of which was not known. To test this the check was sent out for immediate collection, and when it was returned unpaid the entire White bid was thrown out. The sale will net 102 or thereabouts. RELIGIOUS Head Theosophist Arrives. Mrs. Annie Besant, the recently elected president of the Theosophical society and the best known living writ er on the subject, has just come xo , America to attend the conference of the society at Chicago in October: Before starting west Mrs. Besant talked freely with the New York newspaper men who came to meet her at the pier. She was Inclined to agree with the race suicide theories of President Roosevelt for the rich, but not for the poor. Speaking of theosophy she said: "I believe that the soul is an undying, never quiescent force just like electricity, only infinitely finer and more subtle'a thing. It Is an energy like electricity, but it travels in a more ethereal medium; it travels not in ether nor in space, but In a void. The soul is / never without a |? body, it may leave MPllitlP& the physical body J and become immured for awhile in Mrs. A. Besant. the astral body that is beyond our sense of sight or our power of understanding, and then It may come back to this physical plane in another physical body. I believe that I lived before, but that's not the way to put it You don't say 'I believe I was a child;' you know that you were a child. I kncW that I lived before. It is all a matter of memory, this proving a previous existence. When I was thirty I was materialistic and unbelieving in everything. Later I began to turn the Inward mind backward until I could remember my previous existence in the flesh."" She explained further that the theosophists do not limit their following * * i <?.. i j i r to any sect or creea. one suiu airs. Eddy was right in advancing the power of thought transference, but wn>ng in attributing to it a curative effect. Civil Marriages Recognized. Pc e Pius X. has modified the marriage laws of the Catholic church so as to recognize the validity of a civil marriage made before two witnesses without the assistance of a priest This decree will go into effect at Easter, 1908. It is a return to the conditions which prevailed before the council of Trent In Italy the church has suffered because of the refusal to acquiesce In civil marriage, which was the only marriage authorized under the laws of united Italy. The result was to make it possible for a man to have two wives, one under the state and the other under the church lawf thus virtually encouraging bigamy. i t > . * ' ' c, SHERIFF'S SALE.
