It. would not be a surprising thing if the more or less time-honored President In 1 CUSt ° m ' if P"* 1 " dentiul hand-.shak- Hn IM!-S1IU k i . , i ing were oonsid erably abbreviated in the present and succeeding administrations. This change would be due no doubt to the tragedy at Buffalo, and is one that had some measure of progress hither to. The public receptions at the white house are a great burden upon its occupants. They amount to little more, so far as the public is con cerned, than an opportunity to shake hands with the president and his wife. On occasions the wives of cabi net officers were added to the line, but there was sometimes little in the way of personal presentation. While the function may have been a source of some pleasure to those who gained admittance, it was nothing short of a trial to those who for hours were compelled to withstand the strain of shaking hands with a motley multi tude. Anyone who has ever under gone or even witnessed such a pro cedure must have a comprehensive idea of the burden it imposes upon those chiefly concerned. At an old settlers' picnic in Indiana a certain Iloosier had a wagon load of mysterious-looking half-pint bot tles in an adjoining grove, lie car ried samples among the crowd, say ing with a wink that he had a tine article of "tea." The bottles sold like hot cakes, and his load was soon dis posed of, some of the thirsty ones buying three and four bottles. When the purchasers went to secluded spots to sample the liquor they were dis gusted by the discovery that it was really tea and not whisky, as they supposed. The tricky vender was ar rested for obtaining money under false pretenses, but was acquitted, the magistrate holding that the goods were as represented, that the only deception was in the wink, and that winking was not an indictable of fense. A very large amount of gambling goes on in Switzerland, according to a Geneva letter. At Geneva, Lucerne, Heme, Interlaken and various other places licensed gaming tables are per mitted, the game of "little horse" be ing in vogue. Nominally the maxi mum stake is five francs, but a high er stake is never refused. At Ge neva there is a licensed baccarat club, where very large sums are lost each evening, English and American tourists forming the greater part of the losers. Lausanne possesses a cafe which has a room separately set apart for poker, baccarat and other games of chance, and although in the canton of Vaud public gaming is against the law, the police take no luotice of this nightly scene of riot. President Roosevelt is surrounded by an official family of short names. In the cabinet we have Root, Hay, Smith, Long, Gage, Knox —all names of one syllable, which is most unusual. The president's most intimate friend is Wood. The man he Is most fond of in New York is Riis. His most inti mate political enemy is I'latt. His chief political adviser and for years his sponsor, is Ledge. His private secretary is Loeb. His secretary wliila governor of New York was Youngs. All names of one syllable. A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch suggests that memorial trees to President McKinley should be set out this fall and next spring by schools, municipalities and citi zens. On the last morning of his life the president asked that his pillows be turned, saying: "1 want to see the trees. They are so beautiful." All who are interested in arbor days, parks, or the adornment of private grounds will be sure to give consid eration to this simple, appropriate idea. At Plaittfield, N. J., a well-known merchant's wife was seeking to find an Irish nurse for her children, and among other applicants was an im migrant from the Emerald Isle, whose education had apparently been neg lected. "How do you expect me to engage you," inquired the lady, "with out any references?" "If you plaze, ma'am," was the answer, "Oi cannot write." i NOTHING TO HINDER IT. The Outlook la? Continued l'ro*per ity uud Good Time* Iteiiiulii* I ndimnicd. One of the marvels of the civilized work! was that this vast country could come through the crisis precipitated by the assassination «>f its chief execu tive without u perceptible jar to its financial and commercial interests. It supplied a tribute to the poise and self command of our people that attracts the respect of all other powers. It is a repeated lesson of history that reac tion must come at some time, but at present there is not an alarming symptom in evidence. Even the po litical skies are clearer than usual and a familiar menace to continued prosperity is eliminated. It is the repetition of a truism to say that our elections come too often, but •when they are not attended with ele ments of danger and are not too se rious a disturbance of business, it is a matter of congratulation. Fall campaigns are to occur this year in eight states, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vir ginia, Maryland, Ohio, lowa and Ne braska. I£vi>n if there were bitter fights to be waged in each of these states the local disturbances would be scarcely perceptible to the masses constituting our national citizenship or those affairs upon which general prosperity is dependent. In the fall of ISBI, following the death of Gar field, political controversies were ac rimonious and party lines were closely drawn.

It is true that the so-called democrats and populists have joined forces out there and have Indorsed Bryan as well as the Chicago platform, but in this there is the prophecy of defeat, for there is sturdy common sense among the majority of Iter people, and they have not delegated their free agency to designing political leaders. In any event there is to be no disturbance of business, nor is (here the slightest sign of such a political reversal next year as swept the country in ls<»2.

Iluiiixlimcnt of (lie Old Sretlonal Spirit IN I udoulltcdl) lu Prospect. The fact that President Kooseveli recently invited Hooker T. Washing ton to the white house for a confer ence of several hours on southern po litical subjects is justly regarded as significant, llis action in taking coun sel of the most highly cultivated member of the colored race indicates an intention of breaking away from conventional methods in the south. In a conference with Vice President Koosevelt several months ago Iloolter Washington remarked that if the re publican party wished to command general respect and allegiance in the south it should begin by getting the best white residents to fill the federal otlices in the southern states regard less of party lines. He said this would be best for white and black alike. His ideas were so clear and sensible that Mr. Roosevelt evidently litis wished to hear them more in de tail. The southern people always have complained that the federal offices in that part of the country were con trolled. under republican administra tion, by an insignificant handful of professional southern republicans who were in politics for the offices and who did not represent the best elements of the community in which they lived. It is asserted that these machine politicians, by attempting to exploit tlie negro vote, are keeping alive racial prejudice and doing harm to blacks and whites alike. The practice of allowing" these men to | control federal appointments is rc | garded as an important cause of the perpetuation of a solid democratic south. The heart of the evil lies in the continuance of party cleavage along 1 the color line. It is believed that President Roose | velt is seriously seeking' some menus |of changing' this chronic situation. i President McKinley succeeded in ban i ishing- the last of the old sectional , spirit, and Mr. Roosevelt is ambitious i to complete the good work by break ; ing up the pernicious party division ion the color line. He hopes to see } southern voters supporting whatever economic policy seems best for their | local interests, just as voters do in | the north. It would be a great bene | fit to the south and to the wliole I country if this change could be ' brought about. If any man ean create more health j ful political conditions in the south |it should be President Roosevelt. He is animated by a sincere desire to do | what is best for the south as well as 1 for the rest of the country. He is j popular in that section, as elsewhere. | He has no political pledges binding | him to the party machine anywhere. That he has the independence to act as he believes best nobody will (|iies tion. If he shall see fit to ignore party lines in his southern appoint ments or to take any similar steps toward winning the support of the best element to the people, he may be able to accomplish beneficent changes and at the same time add to the strength of his party. His policy in tile s<with will be watched with interest and we believe with ap proval by the whole country.—Chi cago Tribune.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. It Demolished a Hrusn Foundry and Wrecked a Portion of a Hotel a| Erie, Pa. Erie, Pa., Oct. 10. —Last evening a large boiler in the brass foundry of the Hayes Manufacturing Co., on West Eleventh street, exploded with terrific force and completely demol ished the three-story brick building in which it stood. Adjoining this building and directly back of the I.ie bel House, which fronts on State street, was another three-story brick connected with the hotel by a cov ered passageway across the alley. The floor of this building was used as a store room, the second for sleeping rooms for some of the girls and an ironing room, and the third floor as the hotel kitchen, the covered pas sageway leading direct to the dining room, which is on the second floor of the hotel. This hotel annex was also complete ly demolished, nothing but a portion of the side wall remaining. At the time of the explosion supper was being served and six girls, who were in the kitchen, were carried down in the wreck. A general fire alarm was sent in and in a few mo ments the entire fire department was at work extinguishing the flames which had started and rescuing the injured, who were as follows; Mrs. Ella Dolan, cook, badly burned and cut, found wedged against hot cooking range; may die. Frances Levenbuski. both legs and one arm broken, badly cut, injured internally and will die. Anna Sehimagau, kitchen girl, slightly injured. Two Polish kitchen girls, only slightly hurt. May Bent ley, dining room girl, slightly hurt. Jack Davidson, porter in saloon, very seriously cut about neck and shoulders by glass. The hotel was badly injured by the concussion stnd all the windows wrecked, as were till the plate glass windows in the stores in that vicin ity. The drift of the explosion passed through the hotel bar room and that part of the hotel was com pletely wrecked. How any one es caped serious injury seems marvel ous. The cause of the boiler explosion is unknown. Damage to the Hayes Manufacturing Co. and to the hotel about $50,000. CHARLESTON'S BIG SHOW.

Washington, Oct. 10.—Among Presi dent Roosevelt's callers yesterday was John Averill, the director general of the Charleston, S. C., exposition, which is to open on December 1. The president assured Col. Averill of his hearty interest in the success of the exposition. Col. Averill is here on business connected with the transfer of the government exhibit at l»uffalo to the Charleston exposition. He says the arrangements for the exposition are in an advanced stage of completion and that it will be ready for opening on the dite set, December 1. A number of states anu cities have erected buildings and oth ers are making arrangements to that €nd. The Exposition company pro vided 280,000 square feet of floor space for exhibits. This all has been dis posed of. principally to exhibitors now at Buffalo, and the company is now adding 50,000 square feet addi tional. There will be ample accom modations for visitors. The city on December 1 will have good ho.el room for 2,000 persons and householders in that city will do as is being done in Buffalo, open their houses for the re ception of guests. Col. Averill also had a conference with railroad officials in regard to passenger rates and says he is fully satisfied with the schedule proposed. A GREAT PROJFCT. A Portion of Carnegie'* Wealth to be I «ed In Kulldltiif ami .11uli>tulnlii<; a School of Teclinolo;;)". Pittsburg, Oct. 10.—Tn developing the proposition made by Andrew Car negie at the exercises incident to Founders' day las' year, the trustees of Carnegie Institute yesterday adopted plans for the erection of one of the largest and most complete schools of technology in the world. Mr. Carnegie's proposition was that lie have the privilege of endowing and maintaining a technological school of the highest order in the city of Pitts burg, the city to provide t!je site. Since then the trustees of the Car negie Institute have had experts at work on the plans and scope of the proposed school. The proposed scit'ool will be built at a cost of several millions of dollars by Mr. Carnegie, and he will also be asked to give at least $5,000,000 for maintenance. The city of Pittsburg will be asked to contribute t.T acres of ground for a site. An influential committee on municipal relations was appointed by the trustees, which com mittee will confer with the city au thorities at once in regard to the do nation of land, and it is confidently believed the pian will go through without a hitch.

A MAN HUNT IN FLORIDA. .Tliirrtercr of Two Pooplo I* < apturrd Alti-r it Itcspcrute I'lslit ullli u SliiT" »» '« £»o«»e. Madison, l'la., Oct. 10.—Will Jones, a negro outlaw, is in jail here serious ly wounded after a desperate fight with a posse of officers. Immediately preceding his light with the officers, Jone,s killed a woman because of jealousy and also a negro man. Sheriff Armstrong was notified of the murder of the woman in the south eastern part of the county, and with deputies hurried to the scene. He found that the woman had been shot down as she sat by the side of her husband in her room and that Jones had escaped to the woods. The out law in the meantime in his flight had run upon Dan Anderson, a white man, who was hunting, and believing the man was an officer, without warning shot him down. Jones "was finally surrounded in a vacant house, but kept the small posse at bay with his rifle and finally escaped. The sheriff increased his posse and resumed the hunt, following the trail lor miles. The negro was finally surrounded on a live oak prairie near Higdon. At the sight of the posse the outlaw opened fire and a vigorous fusillade continued for several min utes. After the smoke had cleared away, Sheriff Armstrong and Deputy Yarborougli were both wounded. Neither officer is fatally wounded. The outlaw was found prostrate in his own blood, with several wounds in his bod j'. PRINCE CHING'S DEMAND. lie ICeqiicftiN that Forcliju lSn«lno»» Houston Withdraw from Pekin. Pekin, Oct. 10. —Prince Cliing has written a letter to the minister •of the powers requesting a withdrawal from Pekin of the foreign business establishments. He says that Pekin is not a treaty port, that foreign business houses are illegally established here and that all such should be moved to treaty ports. He desires the ministers to secure their removal. The ministers have arranged a meeting on the request of Dr. Mumm Von Schwartzenstein (German min ister) to endeavor to agree upon joint representations in opposition to Prince Thing's demand. A contro versy regarding the payment of tariff duties by foreign merchants appears to have precipitated the issue. One foreign house doing a large business with the Chinese objected to the tax, arguing that the goods were for the use <>f the legations. Prince Cliing points out vhat goods required by the legations can be or dered by them from treaty ports and when so ordered are not dutiable. The foreign business community ir.- I'ekin, although small, is important. Its presence is essential to tlie comfort and convenience of the legations. Foreign houses began to be located in Pekin in the SO's with the tacit consent of the Chinese. The Yoko hama specie banks intend to estab lish branches here and there are now many foreign shops, the German pre dominating, in the vicinity of the le gation quarter. DEATH OF DR. TUTTLE. .flail Who Dlncovpri'd Tliarlte, an Ex« plokivc, (ro»e> the IHvWIe. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 10.—Dr. 11. P. Tuttle, well known as the inventor of the explosive thorite, dropped dead at his 'home in this city yesterday. He was born in lowa in 1544, came to Tacoma in IHS9, and practiced medi cine until about three years ago, when he abandoned the profession to study further tne subject of explo sives, in which he had become inter ested. Thorite, the explosive which Dr. Tuttle discovered, was the result of experiments which he undertook in Tacoma shortly after the discovery of gold in the Klondike, when miners were in need of some explosive that could be used in the frozen ground of that region. It proved to be a won derful invention, and at once attract ed the attention of army circles at Washington. Arrangements were made for testing the new explosive, and its test fully justified the claims Dr. Tuttle had made for it. It pos sessed remarkable qualities for use in projectiles intended to pierce heavy armor plate. DESERTERS ARRESTED. Two llritUh S.iilor» arc Taken from ait American Schooner. Halifax, X. S., Oct. 10. —Two Brit ish sailors, who had deserted from the warship Xiobe, were forcibly taken from the American schooner Mist yesterday afternoon. Warrants for their arrest were issued by Ad miral Frederick lied ford and a gov ernment launch having on board a squad of civil police;.»<! an armed escort of marines went out to the schooner, which was lying in the stream. A demand was made for the men and the captain of the vessel was prepared to give them up, but the sailors refused to come on deck. The police boarded the schooner and forc ibly removed the men. Previous to this action Admiral Bedford had consulted with United States Consul General Foster about the matter. Mr. Foster thought that the marines had better not go on board of the vessel, but gave his consent for the civil police to take the sailors. In compliance with the consul's wishes none of the marines boarded the Mist. The two sailors will be court-martialed. A foul I Iml In Nebraiika. Wahoo, Neb., Oct. 10.—Fourteen feet of coal, in two veins, ten feet apart, with slate and sandstone inter vening, have been discovered at Swedeburg, a few miles south of this place. The veins were struck at a depth of 235 feet and the coal is of a good bituminous variety. There has been for several years a standing offer by the state of a reward for the discovery of a vein of coal of 26 inches or more and the owners of the farm on which the vein was found have tiled affidavits of the discovery irith the secretary of state.
