THE WASHINGTON LETTER
Those who for some months past
have been using the nnme of the late
Senator Ilunna to conjure with, us a
weapon for the disonmforture or jxissl
Ne defeat of the nomination of Pr-i-Ient
Roopevelt for the Presidency now
declare that the senator's death was
"inopportune," which Is virtually
confession of their intentions and
wishes. It is now known that Senator
llaima was loyal to President Roose
velt, as he was to all of his friends,
although he may have doubted the
wisdom of some of the President's
jolieies, just as Senate Hoar did not
always agree with President McKlnley
The death of the gr-at Ohio senator
so widely lamented, has hushed all
opposition to the President, at least
within his own party, and he has little
to apprehend from democratic, opposi
tion since that party is all at sea for
issues, rent ly many fissures, with no
policy and no candidate. Thus far,
out of some forty delegates chosen for
the convention at Chicago, thirty-six
have lieen Instructed to vote for Presi
dent Roosevelt. Tlie suggestion that
Roliert Tod I Jncoin may lie a candi
date for the vice presidency is merely
the afterglow of admiration for the
great Lincoln. Nor is it at all likely
that any memlier of lYosident Roose
velt's caliinet will le put upon the
ticket, notwithstanding it contains
such popular men as Hay and Tafl
The past week in Washington lias
leen given up to mourning, with an
almost complete eeationof legislation
and very little political agitation. As
the day draws near for the ratification
of the Panama treaty, it becomes
evident that it will command a very
large majority and cease at once to be
a political issue. As xm as the legal
machinery can be set in motion prca-
rations for beginning work on the
canal will be made. Before men can
be sent to the isthmus for hard lalmr
in the trenches it is but humane, and
of the highest economic importance,
that their health should be protected
and conserved. To this end it is pro
posed to spend a million of dollars to
provide the city of Panama with pure
water; there must be a drainage
system put in operation; hospitals will
have to be built, and a code of laws
provided for the government of the
canal zone.
The statement by Congressman Dal-
rell that Congress has nothing to do
but pass the appropriation bills and go
home, may be taken as foreshadowing,
ttomewhat, the policy of those who
control affairs in the national halls of
legislation. If this Delphic utterance
has any meaning it lxks as if the
service pension bill, the eight hour
bill, the anti-injunction bill, the par
cels-post sentiment, and Senator Fora
ker'a pnixwition not to restrain trade
Within "reasonable limits," will be
allowed to sleep until after the election.
A bill has been introduced requiring
the Director of the Census to cooperate
with the states in taking the census of
manufactures next year. Senator
Oallingcr wants the White Mountain
of his state thrown into a groat
National Reservation, and Chaplain
Hale favors the proposition, for he
thinks if the trees are protected they
will prevent flixxls in the Connecticut
river. It Is proposed to increase the
Signal Corps from 750 to 1,200 mm
The reason is so many are required in

There is a rumor that Oiiint Cnssinl,
the Russian amlwssador, may re
called, the reason given ieing that he
had failed to establish such relations
with the Kxecutive as to secure cordial
ympalhy Cr Kiirvia in eonntiiiiHi
with tlie war in the east. At present
the (unt has an attack of lumlmgo.
He was unable to attend the funeral of
Senator Hanna. All the naval olllcers
in Washington are pleased with the
results obtained by the use of torjiedix
on the iart of the Jaiwiese. "We
told you so," they exclaim with One
voice. They also maintain that our
warships should le kept in com mi. ion
all the time. The General Staff of the
Army has vehxil the jirojxiwil to pro
mote officers Ik'Iow the rank of genera)
by "selection." In his last message to
Congress the President was in favor of
such promotion, maintaining that in
tills way only could the best men be
put in the most important places. Hut
the general staff is or the opinion that
such a system would create too much
discontent among otilcera who are in
line of promotion.
The so-called Maehen trial in con
nection with postoflice frauds drags its
slow length along, and no one can tell
when the verdict of "not guilty" will
be rendered. What are legally known
as "prayers" have been offered in the
court, and there apieara to have lieen
sore need of them. Mr. Justice Prit-
"hard says he lias no doubt counsel on
both sides will argue tlie case as long
as they have breath. Hereafter lie
will limit the time for arguments.
A decision in the Northern Securities
case from the Supreme Court may be
expected in a few days.

The Woman Suffrage convention

annual meeting will be held in Port

GEORGE K. JENNING3 SHOT
Shot and Killed in His Office
Money the Trouble
George Redmond Jennings, former
ly a captain in the lth N. Y. Regi
ment, and who was in the Spanish
war, and president of the Jennings'
Atljustable Shade (Vimpany, whose
family resided here for several years,
and who Is well known by many in
this section, was shot anil instantly
killiil in Ids office, 105 Lilierty street,
Bnxiklyn, February lsth, by Frank
MeNamnra. The pistol was placed in
his victims bands after the sh-xiting to
indicate that it was suicide.
Frank Hughes, an employee of the
Jennings Coniany. happened to lie at
the dixir at the moment and heard
Jennings say "Frank, you're wrong,"
when he was shot without more words.
Hughes secured the aid of another
employee, John Madden, and they
pursued McNamara to the street and
captured him. Tlie McNamara's
about 18H1 rexlded here and the father
kept a tailor shop. The Ixiy, now
claimed to be the murderer, learned
the trade of watch case making here
and was now a foreman with the Illi
nois Watch ComiMiny at Elgin, III.
It Is claimed there was a money
difficulty. McNamara formerly work
ei at Sag Harlxir, L. I., and about a
year ago loaned the Jennings Company
about 1:2,000. He then went west,
bought a house and wished payment,
hut It is said could get no satisfaction.
He came east a few days ago to com
pel a settlement and evidently Jen
nings was informed of his visit and
his intentions and that there might be
trouble, but to this he gave no ai-
parent heed.
It is positively stated that there was
no other cause for the sluxiting than
that McNamara believed he had lieen
wronged in money matters. Mr.
Jennings lived in Bnxiklyn with his
wife and three children. The family
lived here for several years, and then
went to East Strouilsburg where Mrs.
Jennings was matron of the Normal
School. Frlenils will deeply symia
thise with them in this terrible
bereavement They visited here July
4th last and were happy and evidently
proserous, Mr. Jennings had es
tablished a successful business, and
after some yearn of trials a bright and
Joyous future seemed in store for them,
The shix'k Is the greater because of Its
suddenness when their skies seemed eo
clear and their hopes so full of fruition.
Mr. Jennings is survived by his
widow, who was a daughter of An
thony Kline, one son, George, and
two daughters, Bossie and Cecil. The
funeral was held last Sunday.
. Are Students Skeptical?
One of the popular preachers of
Philadelphia has lieen preaching a
series of sermons to r-tudents, and to
give them more effect has secured
answers to letters sent to University
presidents, asking whether the ten
dency among college students, to be
skeptical, Is more marked than
among other young men of the same
age. The answer of Provost Harri
son of the University of Pennsylvania
was as follows:
"There is probably such a tendency
for two causes: First, a larger out
look may invalidate some of the
unessential traditions which the stu
dent, of whatever denomination he
be, has always kept in some pigeon
hole with faith in God and the Bible
and he rashly assumes that if one is
invalidated, all are. Second, from
psycologleal conditions through which
the student always passes and by
w hich he first arrives aC the point of
knowing everything, and if he have
brains enough then proceeds to learn.
It is said thut 'sophomore,' or wise
fool, signifies the crisis of the condi
tion, and if so, there are, happily,
junior and senior years in which
(aith may be repaired."

Boston is Agitated
The question, shall a woman press
her husba'nd's trousers has now taken
the place of anti-Imperialism In
Boston and several distinguished
ladies have expressed opinions among
them Mrs. John L. Bates, wife of
the governor; Mrs. P. S. Henson
wife of the Rev. Dr. P. S. Henson,
and other well known women.
Mrs. Bates said: "I should cer
tainly be willing to do it if a cared
anything about his personal appear
ance."
Mrs. Ednah D.Cheney: "It'sjust
one of those questions that easily
settle themselves. It he wants It
done from a tyrannical siririt, she
should show her independence by
refusing to do menial things.
Mrs. Brombery had done so many
times, and would again.
Mrs. Henson: "I believe woman
sphere should begin in the home,
.She should study her husband and
consider him as one to be looked up
to." .
Some seemed not to realize the
principle underlying ttie apparently
triv'uU question, but all the women
were of the opinion that the wife
should be as much of a help to her
husband as possible, in every way,
and consider him and their home
before everything else.

The war in the far east is not
progressing very fast. So far the
little Japs are having the best end of
it, having put a portion of the
Russian navy out of commission.
But when spring opens the bear will
pour his wild and uncivilized hordes
toward the flowery kingdom and no
one can tell what the outcome will
be. Japan has the sympathy of the
people of this country.
Our March term of court promises
to be Interesting alter ail. The num

sepms to be on the increase.
There should be one more com
mandment. It should read Thou
shall not covet your neighbors ties or
timber.
Dumping Troubles
Lillie Hamilton French contributes
to the March Delineator an inspiring
paper in the "Joy of Living" series.
It is on Dumping Troubles, and con
tains a wholesome, old-fashioned
philosophy that is pleasant and
profitable to read. Here is a para
graph from it:
We would all be helped In this
lumping-trouble habit, if we would
but think more of what It meant to
make a contribution of ourselves to
our friends; of what it meant to bring
a cheeiful spirit into their lives, a
pleasant face, a well-dressed person;
of what It meant to offer them a
welcoming fireside, a pretty window,
an atmosphere of Joy. We are all
parts of a great whole, each one
giving ami taking. The unconscious
giving and taking goes on like that
which Is conscious, and a discontent
ed face and a dejected manner In the
street are troubles dumped upon the
passer-by, thoughtlessly perhaps, but
as surely as though by intention. So
why not let our contributions to the
world about us be pleasant Goes, our
offerings an inspiration? Why not,
indeed, so develop ourselves that
even our unconscious contributions
to life be those which add to the Joy,
not the gloom, of our friends?
