EI.WIU BOOT. tho remainder of the evening discussing with him aud probably foiiio of the members of tbe cabinet the important duties which will devolve upon him as the new heaa of the war department. It is not improbable that the near future will see Mr. Hoot in the position of co lonial secretary and a new man at the head of the war department. The entire colonial policy will doubt less be gone over at this conference, but Cuba, contrary to expectations, will probably receive more attention tbau the war in the Philippines. Of course, Mr. Root will have a voice in all mat ters relating to the conduct of tho war, but ibo president desires him to give particular attention to tho many com plicated legal questions involved in tho change from the military to the civil control of tiie dependencies. The presi dent will continue to give close personal attention with the assistance of Adjut ant General Corbin to the purely mili tary work connected with tho campaign in ihe Philippines. The question of tho future of Cuba will receive the immediate attention of Mr. Root. The president believes the time has come for doing something in the direction of establishing a civil and independent government in Cuba. Ho wants to have a policy weil defined, so that he will be able to tell congress in his forthcoming annual report what the future attitude of this country toward Cuba should be. He had an interview yesterday with General Charles Garcia, son of the old general, in regard to the question of holding conventions for the elections in Cuba preliminary to the establishment ot an independent form of government. General Garcia came hi re to secure au thority from tho president for taking steps through the medium of suffrage for the establishment of an independent form of government and thus prepare the way lor complete political coutrol of the island. The president believes tbe time has come to give the Cubans a trial at self government and ho wants Mr. Root to take hold of this matter and formulate plans whereby tho Cubans will have an opportunity to establish some kind of government which this country can recognize. It is this class of work, in volving a knowledge of constitutional and international laws, which influ enced tho president in the determina tion to have a lawyer instead of a sol dier at tiie head of the department. Eventually it is the president’s expecta tion that there will be a new depart ment to have direct control of all the affairs pertaining to tho colonies. Mr. Root will be expected to do the work of a colonial secretary rather than a war secretary, pending the establish ment by congress of the proposed new department. Probably in tho future he may be transferred to the control of the new department, if it is authorized. Mr. Root, of course, will have much to do with the Philippine war, but tbe president will naturally depend more upon his advice for substituting a civil for a military government in the Phil ippines when the time comes for such action than he will upon his assistance in connection with tho military cam paign.

I The Sixth t- Mrs, Washane, J- * ^ ? t . -t T She Subdued the Crankiest A ^ Man In Pottsville. Y People generally In Pottsville pitied the new Mrs. Washane that was to be. Not that Pottsville people were ac quainted with her aud allowed their acquaintanceship to run riot with their sympathies. Not so. They knew of her by hearsay only, as a widow— Widow Douglas, they believed, of Green Meadows. Rut they did know John Washane —that was enough to know—John Washane, who had placed less than a year ago the plain yet touchingly in scribed stone to the fifth Mrs. Wash- tine. The first Mrs. Washalie’s stone testified that “none knew her but to love her;” the sceond, “Her price was above rubles.” Mrs. Washane, third, was lamented as one who “had done what she could;” Hie fourth, ns “one whom the heart of her husband could safely trust in,” while No. o’s epitaph was, “She always made home happy.” And now No. i> was about to be of fered at tbe connubial altar—so said Pottsvillians. It was talked over at the various sewing circles, aud suggestions were offered, motions made and carried as to the best way in which to apprise the new Mrs. Washane to be of her unenviable prospect, and one day, as It happened only a week prior to tbe marriage, an anonymous epistle found its way to Hie Widow Douglas of Green Meadows. It ran thus: Hear Friend- Though stranger* to you, we feel it incumbent upon us to write you ere you take upon yourself tiie vows of connubial obedience to one John Washane of I'uttxvillc. lie i* * good man. He i* an honest man. He is a generous man. But truth compel* us to Btate that in spite of many virtue* he has worried hi* many former wive* into untimely graves hy nagging ami hissing. That this may not he jour fate is the wish and prayer of Vocu Well WisiiKit*. The Widow Douglas rend the letter, a curious little frown, which was half a smile, showing Itself as she perused the anonymous missive. The wedding cereuiouy was over. Mrs. Washam*, sixth, was an accom plished fact, and the twain, now one, has dig driven in their own hired hack all the way from Green Meadows to Pottsville, were about to outer the house which Sally Eancaster bad with indignant vehemence got In readiness to receive the bride. “And now, John, as soon as we can get our clothes changed 1 think that you hail better bang that gate while 1 am getting supper. I noticed it sags.” “Eu-Eucia—wh-whalV” John Wash ane was plainly astonished at the ad monitory tone of his new made help- male. Mrs. Washane’s answer was a trille disturbed iu toue, though sweet. “I hope, John, that you’re not going to annoy me by eausiug me to repeat my words. My dear departed husband always paid close attention when 1 spoke. 1 said, ‘Vou’d better bang that gate as soon as you get your everyday clothes on, as it sags so.’ ” Thus was the beginning of John Wusbane’ssixth marital venture. When he came into the house, be was urged to take off bis boots at the thresh old ami reminded, “Never did l thus have to address my first husband.” Constantly was the statement made: “What would my dear partner Douglas have thought had l been obliged to ask him to bring up coalV Dear George would never have failed to procure the best of meats and butter.” Until at last John Washane beeume accus tomed to the oft repeated assertions aud actually felt that, eoiupami with the late George Douglas, he, John Washane, was an outcast and a vil lain. No longer did lie refer to Susan, Matilda, Jennie, Carrie and Mary as patterns for all future housewives lo copy. What were they as compared with her to whom the saluted Douglas had bowed iu allegiance before? His voice took on a bumbled cadence when bespoke to or of his Euciu. His?

It may be that she saw my need and, as It were, was willing to snatch me as a brand from tbe burning—what were you about to say, J.awtou?” “Vou never knew George Douglas personally?” John shook his head. “Rut you did, 1 dare say, by reputa tion at least?” Mr. Lawton grinned. “1 did,” lie said, with a silent, mirth ful chuckle. “And so you are the man I that married Lucia Douglas.

In spite of what he had heard. “Euciu— did *11*1 did”— •oh, John, why don’t you say what yon start to without repeating? Dear George used to speak so differently.” “Did lie ever cuss you?” Juhu had found his tongue at last. “Why, John?” “And strike you? Get drunk—steal —neglect- come, Lucia, tell me. I want to know the truth.” Mrs. Wnshane’s dimples became ap parent. “Some one has been talking,” she said, a twinkle in her brown eyes, “so 1 may as well admit it. He was—oh, John, dear, lie did make my life so mis erable, so unbearable.” “Why did you deceive me so?” John demanded, pulling upon his knees the wife whom hitherto be had hardly dared to kiss. “You made me think he was an angel—all but.” “It’s too bad,” Mrs. Washane gave a playful tweak to the grizzled mus tache so near her face, “but, John, dear, I did it in self defense. I'd beard bow you told your second wife of the virtues of Susan. And Pd heard bow she came at last to the conclusion that you didn't think she was worthy to un tie your shoestrings and so died. And then you told your third wife that she had been a treasure, that Matilda was not to be mentioned lightly, that she was a worker, a helpmate, a woman of a thousand and you could never forget her worth; and then Jennie died ami you put on her tombstone what you never told her you thought about her; and then Carrie heard of Jennie’s goodness and how you could trust her, but died not knowing that you trusted her, too; and then Mary—the sweet est woman that ever lived, I admit, for L knew her, she was my own cousin— Mary became your wife, and you never told her that she made your home as happy as heaven, and sho died. And, John, dear, 1 didn’t want to hear what all the others had hoard, and so I gave you the chance to hear the kind of talk your wives had heard—and-John, dear, you’re not angry, dear, are you— because—well, it has been lovely here, and I'm so glad you married me and gave me a chance to forget Georg j Douglas. You’re not angry, John, dear?” And John Washane kissed his pret ty, coaxing young wife aud said: “If j oil'll never mention your ‘dear de parted’ to me again, I’ll tell you what 1 think. I’ve got a wife now who is the best and brightest, loveliest, sweet est, cleverest, dearest woman— There, there, puns, don’t smother me!”—St. Louis < Hone-Democrat. Ah Odd ICxperienee. James Dilliugworth, a Cincinnati man, bad an experience in a Chicago violin shop recently that might happen once iu times. Mr. Dllling- worth came over from Cincinnati with his daughter, who is a somewhat skill ed violinist. On the road the daugh ter's pet violin got smashed in a trunk. It was a medium good instrument. Mr. Dilliugworth paid S".** for It in a London simp aud had given it to his daughter. He took it to a State street store lo have it. repaired. The next day he went hack to get it. “We haven't finished the repair yet,” said the clerk. “You see we had to take the violin apart,” he explained, exhibiting the pieces. Mr. Dilliugworth was astonished to catch sight of his name on the under side of the top piece. He examined it more closely. “This is a violin I made f>0 years ago,” he gasped, more surprised than he had ever been in bis life. Half a century ago Mr. Dilliugworth made the violin just as an experiment and because lie had a knack for using cabinet tools. lie afterward sold the violin to a friend for $2.50. The friend sold the instrument to a man who was Just starting for Australia. Dilliug- worth bought his own fiddle back at a Loudon violin shop for $75.—Chicago Inter Ocean. An JiiNultinir Purrot. Bayard Taylor relates the following about a parrot once owned by a lady in Chicago, says Our Animals Is’rieuds. When the great fire was raging, an owner saw that she could rescue noth ing except what she instantly took In her hands. There were two objects equally dear, the parrot and the old family Bible, and site could take but one. After a moment of hesitation she seized the Bible uud was hastening away, when the parrot cried out lu a loud and solemn voice, “Good Lord, de liver us!” No human being could have been deaf to such an appeal. The pre cious Bible was sacrificed aud the bird saved, lie was otherwise a clever bird. In the bouse to which be was taken there were among other visitors a gen tleman rather noted for volubility. When the parrot first heard him, It lis tened lu silence for some time, then, to the amazement of all present, it said very emphatically, “You talk too much!” The gentleman, at first embarrassed, presently resumed his interrupted dis course. Thereupon the parrot laid his head upon one side, gave an belt* scribnbly comical and contemptuous “H’m-ml” aud added, “There he goes again!” young Matrimonial Kroon*.
