POLITICS AND WOMEN.

IN MAKING OBSERVANCES ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION HE SAYS TAFT WILL BE NOMINATED AND BRYAN WILL RUN.

New York, May 23. Basking in the Y.'arm glow of his vindication in court on Thursday, United States Senator Thomas C. Piatt today paid his compliments to Mao C. Wood, and incidentally made the positive announcement that he will not be a candidate to succeed himself at. the expiration of his term a year from next March. "I am winding up my public career," faid the senator with a deep note of Badness, "and I can not tell you with what regret I shail reiiro to private life. But it. is decreed." The senator made interesting comment too, on various other matters of current import, in which women and politics were curiously intermingled. About Taft, for instance, who believes will be nominated and elected without difficulty; about Bryan, "who will run no better than usual;" Roosevelt, who "will probably be a candidate to succeed Depew in the senate;" Hughes, "who is out of touch with the republicans of New York," and Oorteljou, than whom "there is no better man in the republican party for governor of this state." Of particular semipolitical interest ts the reflection of Senator Piatt on the habit of statesmen in scribbling their autographs on blank sheets of paper for all comers. A sheet of paper, which the senator declared he cigned in blank, but which turned up at the Mae Wood trial at the bottom of an acknowledgment of his alleged marriage to the lady, furnished the text for his sermon in cameo. "I'll never do it again, as long as I live," declared Mr. Piatt. "It is bad business and any public man who thoughtlessly obliges an autograph Becker by putting' his name on a sheet of paper in that fashion, runs the risk of being trapped just as she attempted to trap me."

Engaged by Mme. Anna Gould

To Act as Escort in

Her Travels.

HE GIVES UP A "SNAP."

New York, May 23. Mme. Anna Gould, erstwhile Countess de Castellane, has introduced a startling innovation in connection with foreign travel. Unable to induce any of her male relatives to accompany her on her grand tour of the Mediterranean ports and Italy, enroute to France, she solved the question of social propriety by engaging the services of a man "chaperon." The person she chose for this novel position is young Ellsworth Chapman, bachelor, and formerly a clerk in the employ of the Fidelity and Casualty company, of No. !7 Cedar street, this city. She obtained him through her attorneys in this city. He is familiarly known as "Chappy." The reason why Chapman "threw up his soft snap." as envious fellow clerks In the company put it, was, so the cable dispatches report, a clash with the noble suitor for Mme. Gould's hand and fortune. Prince Helie de Sagan.

NERVOUSNESS SAVES OLD SOLDIERS LIFE

Attempted to Suicide With a Hat Pin.

Ridgeville, Ind.. May 23 Samuel Ginger, a veteran of the civil war and prominent in G. A. R. circles, attempted to commit suicide by sticking a hat pin through the jviglar vein, but being very nervous he missed it by a very narrow margin. He is in a critical condition, but will possibly pull through. Poor health is supposed to be the cause, as he has been unable to leave the house for several weeks.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 2".. George F. McCulloch yesterday filed an intervening petition in the Federal court in the case of Daniel G. Keid against The Star. The title of the petition is "For instructions to the receiver in respect to paying interest on bonded indebtedness, etc." It is set forth that the petitioner owns 4.41 shares of preferred stock. It is recited that no dividend has been paid on the preferred shares and under the terms of preference the holders of the stock are entitled to the distribution of corporate assets before any payment is made on the common stock. McCullouch believes that all the common shares are owned or controlled by Mr. Held.

Ivory. To the man in the street ivory means elephant tusks. He forgets or is ignorant of the supply of hippopotamus teeth, walrus tusks, narwhal horns, whales' teeth and boars' tusks. The best Ivory comes from Africa. Mainmoth tusks are found in extraordinary abundance iu Siberia principally, but they are not very highly esteemed, though they run to au enormous size and indeed hold the record, being sometimes twelve feet long and weighing 200 pounds. The natives of Africa regard ivory as the standard of wealth and store it up in their villages for hundreds of years, constantly adding to their stock, and thus the supply continues and will continue for many, many years.

FEAR OF ROOSEVELT

Foreign Holders of American Securities Await Election of Taft.

SECRETARY CONSERVATIVE.

New York, May 2.'!. Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, whose daughter married the Duke of Manchester, whom ho has been visiting in England, has arrived home. Mr. Zimmerman says that he has changed his headquarters from Cincinnati to Detroit, and that he has come home to work after a vacation of several months. "Foreign holders of American securities are selling what they have accumulated, and this will continue until Taft is nominated, a condition which they assume is bound to occur," he said. "The people of Europe fear the policy of President Roosevelt and look to Taft as a more conservative force, and the business interests there are waiting for his nomination, which to them is equivalent to his election.

RELIGIOUS HATRED.

Poor, but Honcct. A story is related of a young man who was recently married to the daughter of a wealthy merchant. The groom did not have a penny, but he was honest. He was so honest that he would not even prevaricate in the marriage ceremony. He was repeating what the minister said. "With all my worldly goods I thee endow," read the minister. "With all thy worldly goods I me endow," repeated the groom. This was real honesty. London Sketch.

St. Petersburg authorities have issued an order forbidding the students of the cadet corps to read "Sherlock Holmes," and other stories of a similar character.

The Intense Bitterness That Divides Islam and Hindooism. It is difficult to express the eternal and inevitable hatred and detestation which have always existed between the Mohammedan and the Hindoo in India. It is often forgotten by critics that the differences between the Mohammedan's religion and the Englishman's are minute compared with those that divide Islam and nindooism. They of the east take their religion much more eeriously than we of the west, and in the eyes of Islam the dog of a Christian is far better than the swine of a Hindoo. The Pathans of the northwestern frontier keen, hardy and relentless fighters, without education and without the wish for it may stand as a type of the Mohammedans. They are kept from the throat of Hindustan only by the presence of the British government. If restraint were removed from the Mohammedan the Hindoos would go down like grain before the sickle, and the Pathans would turn India into one widespread hell. The first to fly would be our friend the babu. Yet he is precisely the man who today does all he can to make British rule in India difficult Were there any chance of his succeeding

agitation would promptly cease. Grim indeed would be the silence of the Bengali press about the moral delinquencies of the white man. The Brahinan agitator knows his Englishman and understands exactly how far he may be trusted to go doggedly on with his ungrateful work. I once saw a curious instance of the contempt in which the educated Bengali babu is held by men of his own blood. Toward the close of 1902 I was traveling up to the Durbar at Delhi and happened to be In the dining car on the three foot Rajputana-Malwa railroad. A well known rajput asked if he might join me at dinner. I was delighted and found him a most interesting companion. From first to last nothing could exceed his courtesy. Bui in pausing in the midst of a sentence and apologizing to me he leaned back in his chair and stretched out his arm behind him. barring the narrow passngewcy. A well to do Bengali babu was stopped by the outstretched arm The rajput then called the Bengal; ugly things. Fie told him that he was one of a filthy and seditious lot of cowards, mangy curs that bit the hand that fed them, and he finished by say ing that, could he have bis own way. he would subject the whole lot of them to a certain torture whose very men tion made the wretched babu a shade grayer. I never saw such a spectacle of shivering terror. With a final sneer the rajput told his victim to go. and then he turned back to the table witfc a pleasant smile. Terceval Landon Ir World's Work.
