P OFFICE SEEKERS LEAVE X DOES NO GOOD TO REMAIN AT THE CAPITOL. kmthbound Trains Hiring Many Disappointed Ones Who Have Not MS Heen Able to Land lierths. The Washington correspondent of The State say3 every train leaving Washington, going in a southerly direction, carries 011 its lists of passengers many disgruntled and much disappointed oilice seekers. Some of these came to Washington just after Christmas, when congress assembled, others came to the inauguration, and t . ^ . . . P still other nave arrived since, iney are going home because they have become thoroughly convinced that the national capital is a very expensive place in which to live while waiting for the plum tree to shake. The home-goers are not from any one state, or from any one section of ^ the country, for that matter, although it is true that, for obvious reasons, more of them are from the South than elsewhere. But there is something else the job hunters have recently discovered. They have become convinced that it will do them no good to remain in Washington. One having placed their interests in the hands of their respective congressmen there is little else that can now be done. Secretary Bryan will not return to his otlice for some time from his Western trip and several of the other cabinet members expect to be away more or less during the early spring months. Added to this is the friendly advice handed out to the weary waiters by the congressmen that longer tarrying here would be of no avail. There is much dissatisfaction among some of those who have been ! disappointed, but this was to be expected. It was never contemplated by those well informed that the new administration would summarily turn out former employees and ollice holders to make room for others, but this fact apparently does not suit many of those now turning their faces home ward. Many of them will go back to their people with alluriirg stories of what they did in the national capital while waiting for something to "turn up", glad, no doubt, that after all they are at home again. Many appointments are going to ,be made but not just now. In time the plum tree will shake for keeps but that will come with the extra session of congress. | ; TUBMAN'S REQUEST GRANTED. Statement to Caucus Will Go in Congressional Record. When Senator Tillman arose in the Senate Monday to request unanimous consent for the printing of his statement to the Democratic caucus last Saturday in the Congressional Record, Senator James, of Kentucky, asked if it was intended to include the letters that were read with the statement. . Senator Tillman explained that it was not intended to do so unless the author of one of the letters gave his consent, whereupon the Kentuckian expressed his satisfaction and the request was granted. It is understood that the letter under consideration was from President Wilson, and that the South Carolina Senator is waiting to hear from him on the subject. Kindness Brings Fortune. \ ^ (Mrs. Albert Munkers, wife of a ^ farmer of Warrensburg, Mo., has fallen heir to $4 0,000 through her kindness to John Rohan, an aged Irishfman, who two years ago went to the Munkers home seeking shelter. The pair cared for Rohan until ho died, two weeks ago. On top of a pile of valnnhlo nnnors fniinrl ninnntr Ills of !fects was a note directing that everything be given Mrs. Munkers. Rohan had no known relatives. Set on Fire l?y Pipe. jU At Elnora, Ind., Mrs. Wm. Sneff 80 years old, while smoking a pipe Wednesday night allowed some of the burning tobacco to drop on her dress. Before other members of the family could reach her she had been so severely burned that she died a few hours later.

Some Idea of the Cost of Keeping Up Vast Armies. An estimate was recently made of the cost of a great European war which should involve the important countries of Europe, says a London mi n 2 ? i. i. a. i x special. i lie ngures 111 ine estimates were most impressive. There would be under arms something like 22,000,000 men. At a conservative estimate the cost of keeping these men would be between two and three dollars a day per man. All this would be quite aside from the damage which would be done by such tremendous forces coming into cunilict and the work which would be left undone, when these many millions of men became parasites instead of workers. ? ? Marriage Creates Sensation. A runaway marriage in Washington created a sensation Saturday, and as a result Mrs. Anna Middleton, wealthy and prominent in society is prostrated while her daughter now, Mrs. William P. Storty, says that she defiantly "does not care what the people say". The couple were married December 17 last. The marriage only leaked out Saturday.

The Assassin Is Apparently Demented, Doing a Man of Low Mentality and Hardly Responsible for Ills Action in Shooting the King or Anything Klse He Does. King George of Greece was assas Diiiaiiru in tiic? on tcio of Saloniki Tuesday afternoon. The assassin was a Greek of low mentality who gave his name as Aleko Schinas. He shot the king through the heart. The king was accompanied only by an aide-de-camp, Lieut.-Col Francoudis. The assassin came suddenly at the king and tired one shot from a seven-chambered revolver. The tragedy caused intense excitement. Schinas was seized immediately and overpowered. The wounded king was lifted into a carriage and taken to the Fapaiion hospital. He was still breathing when placed in the carriage. Prince Nicholas, the king's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. Arriving first, Prince Nicholas summoned the officers and, speaking in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to announce to you the death of our beloved king and invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Consta ntine." Crown Prince Constantine, who succeeds King George, is at present at Janina. He is expected to arrive with all possible speed. The assassin of the king is an evil looking fellow about 4 0 years old. On being arrested he refused to explain his inoiive for the crime. He declared his name was Aleko Schinas, and in reply to an officer who asked him whether he had 110 pity for his country, announced that he was against governments. Schinas maintained a perfectly impassive demeanor, which was suggestive of being irresponsible for his actions. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which the king received attention he was dead on arrival at the ho3pital. Precautions at once were taken throughout the city and perfect order is being maintained. The king fell into the arms of his aide when shot. Two soldiers ran up on hearing the firing and helped to support him. He was placed in a car riage ana euoris were maue ia siup the .blood, but he breathed his last 011 the way to the hospital nearby. When Prince Nicholas bade the officers swear fealty to Constantine they shouted: "Long live the king!" Prince Nicholas is the only member of the royal family in Saloniki. Mourning emblems are displayed everywhere. The Greek governor has issued a proclamation announcing that the oath of fealty to King Constantine has been taken. "ALMA, WHERE DO YOU LIVE?" . 1 To lie Here Again 011 Friday Evening March 2S. Joe Weber, a man who has engineered many plays of farcial situations to a successful production is the original producer of "Alma, Where Do You Live?" which will be pre- j seated at Academy of Music on Friday evening (March 28. The play is described as a French vaudeville, which is the only descriptive phrase which Mr. Weber could hit upon, as it is not a musical comedy, a farce with music, or a comic opera. Yet it has all the characteristics and popular features of all of these. In adapting the farce and in composing " the fourteen lyrics, Mr. Hobart has eliminated all the objectionable fea- " tures of the play, retaining only * enough of the story to build the series of farcial complications which jHva the nioco its voirue in a run of five hundred night in Mr. Weber's * Theatre in New York. Alma is a fascinating milliner, who is induced to lure an unsophisticated young man _ to propose to her in order to make ^ him loose a fortune of four million francs that has been left to him with the provision that he does not make love to a woman or propose to her up to a certain date. But she falls in love with Pierre, saves his fortune and finally marries him, after the time limit in the will has expired. It _ is a pretty and romantic story, com- | plicated with the most amusing situations. The Augusta Chronicle says: "If . 'hat situation over there keeps up ^ ong enough maybe the Confederate veterans will not have any Home in South Carolina." It begins to look hat way. The trouble seems to bt ? hat too much money is paid out for * 'mismanagement". ? ? The management of the Confederite Home should be put in the hands _ >f old veterans. Then maybe it L vould be a real home for needy vettrans. t \ i . Id classified! column and farmers exchange FOUL.TKY AM) FXiiiS. For Sale??Fancy R. I. Red. Chickens and 1. R.
