Louisville, Ky., Sept. 12. Rooseveltian words were used by Judge W. H. Taft in answering a recent letter from a negro lawyer of this city. Albert S. White the negro who received the letter, reports the correspondence on Taffs view of the fifteenth amendment about as follows: "The Hon. William 1L Taft, Middle Bass Island, Ohio. Dear Sir: I was shown a circular today from a negro

of Washington, D. C, Rev. Dr. Car- J rothers, in which he appeals to his people to vote against you because he j

alleges that in an address you had stated that a law that can not be enforced ought to be repealed. He claims that you had direct reference to the fifteenth amendment. "I endeavored to obtain the letter,

but without avail. It is because I believe that Kentucky will give you her electoral votes, and because I believe that this letter may do harm that I write you. "I judge that if any part of his communication is true, it must be some sentence that has been distorted from the context and made to do duty for his miserable ends. "If you have made any speech susceptible of such perversion, kindly let ; me have it, or the part pertinent! hereto, as I desire in the newspapers j

to expose the fraud. Yours very truly Albert S. White. Taft's reply was: "Middle Bass Island. Ohio, "September 5, 1908 "My dear Mr. White: The circular letter of Mr. Carrothers is a lie. What I was referring to was sumptuary laws and I referred to them in a lecture that I delivered at Yale. I can send you a copy of it as soon as I get to Cincinnati, and shall do so. Very sincerely yours.

"William H. Taft."

WOMAN FIGHTS SNAKE

Killed It With Hot Water and Hat Pin.

TrIEN FAINTED, OF COURSE.

St Louis, Mo., Sept. 12. Armed with a hat pin, Mrs. F. E. Jordan, aged BO, of 4 Garfield avenue, killed a three foot rattlesnake which had invaded her borne. Mrs. Jordan found the snake upstairs In her room, as it lay coiled within striking distance of her nine-months-old baby, which was cooing at the unwonted sight. The frantic mother ran for a pot of boiling water and also grabbed from her dressing table a big hat pin with an ornamental knob. As she approached the rattler It

coiled and twice struck at her, both times falling short. Then Mrs. Jordan dashed the boiling water at his snakeship and he fled, seeking refuge in the corner. The hot water had taken all the fight out of the enake and Mrs. Jordan finished him with the hat pin. Then she screamed for help and fainted.

Penny Wise, Pound Foolish. Housewives who buy seven or eight bars of yellow laundry soap for a quarter doubtless think they are getting a big twenty-five cents worth. They are in rosin, which is not a cleanser at all. A five cent cake of such a pure white soap as Easy Task with its soft, creamy lather, will outlast two bars of smeary rosin soap, because It Is good all through.

To the Friends of Glen Miller Park: The undersigned "Lookout Committee" appointed by the Mass Meeting of Citizens held August ilth, to "Protest Against the Spoliation of Our Park," beg leave to report that we are giving the matter every attention in our power. We are pleased to say that we have the unanimous support of the Common Council, the known preference of the Traction Co., for some other route, and the continued sympathy and co-operation of the majority of Richmond citizens. As one means to the end, we have encouraged Mr. George W. Hill in bringing Injunction Proceedings in the Wayne County Circuit Court to restrain the T. H., I. & E., Interurban R. R. Co. from laying their tracks through the Park. The arguments in this suit will be heard Monday morning, September 14th. Your Committee is without funds. We most respectfully ask from all citizens a liberal contribution, since we believe we would be expected to assume the expense of this suit or its appeal. Will you not then soon send your check or cash to our treasurer, Mr. C. B. Hunt, 603 Main street. We know that you will feel assured of a careful expenditure of the same, and should any surplus remain it will be held for the protection of the Park against any further encroachment Richmond, Indiana, September 12, 190S, Signed.

Not So Funny After All. On one of the cruises out of Rockland we ran into Castine, Me., where crowds of visitors boarded the ship. One old grizzled farmer fell into the hands of a youngster from Montana. For the time being ventilators became torpedo tubes, those "sticks" up in the air were to hold up fog nets, the ropes were clothesline-i, the engines ran by radium, and the Hartford wus the fastest ship afloat, i The old man seemed deeply Interested, especially in the chute for getting overboard, the legs and arms that might be adrift In action and the value for letting out whatever water might run Into the ship. When he finally went over the side he was profuse in his thanks. Turning to his escort, he drew out his card, on which was engraved, " , Rear Admiral, U. S. N.. Retired." and said, "The old ship has changed since I commanded her." Army and Navy Life.

MACHINE UNDER PERFECT CONTROL AT ALL TIMES AND GUIDED WITH EASE BY MAN WHO MADE IT. Washington, Sept. 12. Dr. Orvillo Wright again broke the world's record for aerial navigation by making a flight of 1 hour, 10 minutes and 30 seconds yesterday. The performance was the most spectacular since the first real flight Wednesday afternoon. Wright's ship seemed to be a thing alive. It would go straight up apparently toward the sky, and the turn easily and sail Etraight ahead. He tried this three or four times, while the spectators below held their breath in wonder. Two flights were made at Ft. Myer. Ya., yesterday, the first being of 10 minutes and fifty seconds duration, for the purpose of showing what speed he had been traveling during his long flights of the past three days. Yesterday's test demonstrated according to the aviator's calculation, that the speed of the aeroplane during the record breaking flights of Wednesday and Thursday was 3!Mi miles on hour. Mr. Wright arrived at the testing grounds at Ft. Myer at 4 o'clock, and immediately prepared to make a flight. The weather conditions were ideal, and Mr. Wright lost no time in having the machine placed on the starting track. Before making the first flight Mr. Wright said: "I want to make a flight of about 10 minutes in order to see how my present speed compares with that I made at Kitty Hawk, N. C. I have a time and distance apparatus attached to the aeroplane, but it registers only lO kilometers without repeating. I have to make a short flight in order to determine the speed at which the machine goes through the air." Starting at 4:41, the aeroplane made nine rounds of the drill grounds, and then, landing within a few feet of the thousand or more spectators, Mr. Wright computed the speed of record-

breaking flights. The speed was offi

cially announced as 3!.5 miles per hour.

The Whole Business. A very young housekeeper vreat to market to purchase a spring chicken. After selecting one and Inquiring the price she said: - "Isn't 3 shillings rather high? The poulterer in our road only charged me 2s. 9d. the other day." "With the feet on?" asked the salesman. "No. I believe, now yon mention it, the feet were cut off," she replied, with some hesitation. "I thought so," said the man at the stalL "When we sell a fowl here, ma'am, we sell it feet and all." London Scraps.

Insect Notes. The slow flapping of a butterfly's wing produces no sound. When the movements are rapid, noi;e is produced which increase with the number fit vibrations. Thus the house fly, which produces the sound of F, vibrates its wings 21,120 times a minute, or 335 times a secoud, and the bee, which makes a sound of A, as many a,i 26,40!) times, or 440 times a second, a tired bee hums on E and therefore, according to theory, vibrates its wing only S30 times a second.

SHAW TELLS TAFT

ABOUT HIS SPEECH

In Characteristic Manner Due

Notice Is Given.

Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 12. This char

acteristic letter from ex-Secretary of he Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, was re

ceived today by Mr. Taft:

The committee in charge of the Re

publican state convention of Illinois

being in extremis, asked Shaw to

make a few remarks. Of course, he

consented, and while you will have neither the time nor the appetite therefor, he is going to stick into the

envelope that bears this message of

love and good will a transcript of some

of his mental gyrations preliminary

to the task assigned.

I wish I could run down to see you,

but there is nothing I can say except

to express my abiding good wishes.

and a large measure of confidence in

final results.

If you should meet Mrs. Taft during

the pressure of the campaign give her my kindest regards and say to her that

Shaw thinks that tn less than twelve

months from and after this day and date she will be the best-beloved woman in the land. Affectionately yours.

L. M. SHAW.

Still Susceptible.

He was a nervous, fidgety young man.

and he looked with considerable ap

prehension at the woman next him, who held a baby. Its face covered with a thick veil. The baby gave now and then a sharp cry, which the woman evidently tried to suppress. At last, after many anxious glances, the young man spoke. "Has has that baby any anything contagious?" he asked. The woman looked at him with a mixture of scorn and pity. "'Twouldn't be for most folks." she said in a clear, carrying tone, "but maybe 'twould for you. He's teething." The Adventurous Feline. Hello! is this the electric company? Do you take cats down?

MOST HAVE HONESTY

If McCarren Were Not Elected

Honestly, He Will Find No Seat.

PEACE TALK A SIDE ISSUE.

URGES POSTMASTERS UPON THE SUBJECT

Should Educate Upon Postal Savings Proposition.

New York. Sept. 12. "If Senator

McCarren and his Brooklyn associates

were honestly elected as delegates to

the democratic state .convention they

will be seated," said Charles F. Murphy at Tammany hall. "If they were not honestly elected, however, they

will not be seated. No delegate who is

honestly entitled to a seat in the con

vention will be deprived of it.

"I want it understood that neither

State Chairman Conners nor any one else can make peace or peace terms for me. Reports that there have been

negotiations between Mr. McCarren

and myself are not true."

Practically all the peace talk between Senator McCarren and State Chairman Conners came from the latter. The

two met accidentally In the Hoffman

house where McCarren was conversing with the Sullivans, "Big Tim" and "Little Tim." Mr. Conners extended his hand, and after a few formal words declared that since McCarren's victory in Brooklyn there should be harmony.

Indianapolis. Sept. 12. In an address before some 2x members of the National Association of Postmasters of the second and third class yesterday afternoon at the Claypool, C. B. Keene, postofflce inspector, Washington, D. C, urged the postmasters to wage a campaign of education in favor of postal savings depositories. Mr. Keene explained the movement in full

now on looking to that end, and discussed the bill introduced by Senator

Thomas H. Carter of Montana at the

last session of congress. He argued

that a postal savings system is needed in order to protect the immigrant and to turn the tide of money which the immigrant sends abroad each year back into the proper channels in this this country. Mr. Keene also discussed the system of postal savings banks now in vogue in Canada, which he investigated personally.

f F!ying Fish. Interesting are the habits of the flying fish, that queer denizen of the sea found principally in the region of the trade winds. "Does it rise from the sea like a bird?" you ask. No. It shoots out of the waves like an arrow, and with outspreading wings sails on the wind In graceful curves, rising sometimes, one might say, to the height of fifteen feet, but not often so high, and then, lowering, it again touches the crest of a wave and renews its flight. This operation may be repeated till it covers a distance, say, of 500 yards la the case of the stoutest on the wing, though very often not half that distance Is covered. A ship sailing through the trade winds will often be visitfd on dark nights by flying fish which hit the sails or rigging and fall on deck, where of course they soon give up life. St. Nicholas.
