TIFT IS SUIF TO BE IDE NOMINEE

Mew York World Says That His Nomination Is Inevitable. OPPOSITION DISAPPEARS. HE HAS THE MAJORITY OF THE DELEGATES ALREADY ELECTED AND NEITHER OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES CAN OUST HIM. New Yniis, April - . Tin 6ay printed tin- following, William II. Tafi will be World toed it oria lly : nominated for pi e.- Men t by the Republican National convention. If William .1. Bryan is to be ih- democratic candidates Judge Taft's election is certain. Tle-ie need Ik- no anxiety as to the outcome of another Mrjan campaign; no ir.cn a.-cd iridusi rial suspense, no further shutting- down of factories, no new recruits to the army of the unemployed. The opposition to .ludge Taft's nomination ha.s practically collapsed. lie Ji8R a majority of the deb gates already elected. He has bad-, of him all the power, prestige and popularity of the Roosevelt, administration. None cf the other candidates has any considerable support outside his own state. Many of them tan count on only a complimentary vote. .None of them could deliver his dekca'cs lo Hughes or Cannon or Knox or Fairbanks. All four of these opposing candidates are personally friendly to Taft. In the end they will prefer his nomination to the alternative of Koose clt 's re-nomination, knowing: thai they must take one or tin: oilier. The sooner they make this position plain the better it will be for the country. All of them know that Taft is jure to be nominated. All of them Fhould realize that public assurances ef his nominal ion would be a great stimulus in prosperity. i;y removing jiopular uncertainty as to the action of tho republican convention they would Bid greatly in the restoration of confidence. For if Mr. Bryan is as sure cif the democratic nomination as he protencjs, nothing remains in doubt hut the sizo of Judge Taft's majority. GALLERY WIT. Bemetlmee the Actors Turn tho Tables on the Interrupters. Some amusing Instances of the wit nd humor of the gallery and pit patrons of the drama are printed in the English Illustrated Magazine. On one of the first nights of the opera of "Cynion" at Drury Lane a dissatisfied critic when Mr. Vernon began the last air In the fourth act. "Torn from me, torn from me! Which way did they take, her?" Immediately sang In the exact time of the air, to the astonishment of the audience. "Why, toward Long Acre, toward Long Acre!" Vernon whs for a moment stunned; but, recovering himself, be sang in reJoinder: "Ho, bo! Did they so? Then, I'll overtake her! I'll soon overtake her!" and precipitately ran off amid the plaudits of the whole house. In "Sancho Panza." a comedy in three acts, by Dufrenl, the duke says nt the beginning of the third act, "I begin to get tired of Sancho." "So do I." paid a wag in the pit, taking bis bat and walking out This sealed the fate of the pioce. When John Reeve was playing Bombastes at Bristol upon being stabbed by Artixommus he denied the fairness of the thrust and. appealing to the pit. paid, "It Is not fair, sir, is it?" A baldheaded gentleman who probably took the whole representation to be serious and to whom Reeve directed bis glance replied, "Really, sir, I cannot say, for I don't fer.ee." Barry Sullivan, the Irish tragedian, was playing in "Richard III." some years ago at Shrewsbury. When he' came to the line, "A horse! A horse! j My kingdom for a horse 1" some one lu the pit called out, "Wouldn't a donkey suit you, Mr. Sullivan?" "Yes." re-! sponded the tragedian, turning quickly on the iuterrupter; "please come round to the stage door." How Rd Herrings Came. The first red herring was accidentally produced in England uianv years ago by a fisherman who, bavins a stir- j jilus of freHh herring, hung them up in j a smoky shed to dry and then forgot j all about them. When be looked at them some time after he found that they had changed in color. The king, to whom the fishes were presented, was po interested that ho gave permis-, pion to the fisherman to exhibit them ! around the country as strange men- ; ters. 1 His Nerve Good. !
