EFELLER A SHREWDJCHEMER Knew That By Encforsing Taft He Aided Bryan, Says BonaparteDEMOCRATS ARE HAPPY. BRYAN AND MACK'S GLEE INDICATES THAT THE OIL. MACNATE'S MOVE WAS DONE FOR AID OF DEMOCRATS. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 2. At bis country home Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte was asked to express his opinion of the political effect of the declaration of John D. Rockefeller that he would support Mr. Taft for president of the United States. Incidentally, it should be stated, that, as att6rney general of the United States, Mr. Bonaparte is prosecuting the Standard Oil company, of which Mr. Rockefeller is accepted as the head. "So far as- I know," Mr. Bonaparte said, "no one has ever accused Mr. Rockefeller of stupidity or of not keeping himself informed as to current topics, but only a person phenomenally Btupid or ignorant could fail to know that if he really wished to help Mr. Taft he did precisely what he should cot have done. "If, on the other hand, his secret purpose were to assist Mr. Bryan all lie could to 'get even' with the Roosevelt administration, his course was that of a shrewd and unscrupulous nan, who knew well that throughout a large part of the union, the especially In certain western states, the Standard Oil Company is so widely and heartily detested that any supposed support from it or Identification with it might well cost a candidate many votes. "The exurberant delight of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Mack, and the eagerness with which they trumpeted the great iiews, are enough to show, me at least, in whose interest he acted and with what motive." NEW YORK'S BOWERY. Why th. Upper Part of It Was Named . . Fourth Avinu. In the early forties of the last century there lived In Brooklyn a Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith was a rising civil engineer, and most of his work was In New York. It was necessary that he be nearer his place of business than Brooklyn, for In those days ferries were slow and Infrequent, do bridges spanned the river, and borse cars were the speediest means of transit. '' Being a man of moderate means, Mr. Smith went house hunting through the streets of New York, seeking a modest but respectable abode. Near the upper end of the Bowery be found a small house. Elated with bis success, he rushed 1 ue with the news to his wife. But when be mentioned the name of the street in which this bouse stood bis wife's face fell. "How could you think of lt? she asked. Smith was in despair. Even as far back as 1840 the Bowery had acquired an unenviable reputation. Mr. Smith tried to explain that the upper part of tbe Bowery was still untarnished; that many very respectable people lived in that part of town; that It would be many long years before crime and sin would spread that far north. It was all wasted energy. Tbe fact that she would be living on the Bowery was sufficient for Mrs. Smith. As a civil engineer it was Mr. Smith's custom to overcome obstacles. The following day he hired a conveyance, and he and Mrs. Smith went bouse hunting together. Mrs. Smith knew her Brooklyn thoroughly, but bad only a slight acquaintance with New York. After driving through many streets without finding a suitable house the husband quietly turned Into the Bowery at Union square and slowly walked the horse In the direction of the house be bad found the previous day. Suddenly Mrs. Smith exclaimed, "Why, there's a pretty place to let, , dear!" "Where?" listlessly questioned her husband, purposely looking in tbe opposite direction. Had Mrs. Smith not been so Intent upon the bouse In question she might have noticed the merry twinkle in her husband's eyes and suspected something. "Right over there.; she replied, pointing to the house with the "To Let" sign. An examination of tbe premises convinced Mrs. Smith that she must have the place, and when she learned that her neighbors were old friends of hers she had her husband close the bargain at once. All this time no mention was made of the street. How Smith managed to move Into the house and keep Mrs. Smith In the dark as to the name of the street is a mystery. But there rame a dar. and thpro tm stnrm The tear fall was something heretofore unknown In the Smith household. Once again Mr. Smith's habit of . overcoming obstacles stood him in good stead. His wife would not live on the Bowery. Her home was ideal, her neighbors were good people, but, they lived on the Bowery. So Smith and one of his neighbors went before tbe board of aldermen. Tbe neighbor had Influence. Tbe street signs from Union square down to Fourth street were changed. Instead of "Bowery" the words "Fourth avenue" were substituted. And Mrs. Smith was happv ever aft er. New Tork World. "Any maflr" asked the eminent politician. "Here's a letter." answered the secretary, -that begins 'My Dear Senator. I don't know what the finish Is." "Of course not. Nobody knows what the finish of a letter begginlng "My Dear Senator is going to be." Washington star.

The doilies which she made for the highly polished table were circles cut from the paper. Each doily was composed of three circles of paper, each a little smaller than the other, whose edges were frilled in the same manner. There was a small glass candlestick at each place, which was crowded with shades of the paper. Little bonbon dishes were made of round cardboard boxes which were sorrounded by three ruffles of the PaPer- Tne souvenirs were beautiful and were easily made. A strip of stiff cardboard fourteen or so inches long and an inch and a half wide was fastened together at the two ends to make a hoop.

When the Comtesse d Boigne Tried It In the Year 1806. The Comtesse de Boigne in her memoirs gives an account of a visit she paid in 1806, which is interesting in view of the position Dieppe now holds among French watering places. "The poverty of the inhabitants,' she says, "was . frightful. The Englishman, as tbey called him (and for them he was worse than the devil), was cruising incessantly before their empty harbor. With much difficulty a boat was able to escape from time to time and go fishing, always at the risk of being captured by the foreigner or confiscated upon the return Journey if the telescopes of tbe watchers bad seen It approach a vessel. "As for the comforts arranged for the convenience of bathers which Dieppe has since organized, they were nonexistent at that time. My brother was able to find a little covered cart, and with great trouble and great expense, notwithstanding .the universal poverty, a man was hired to lead the horses down to the sea and two women to go into tbe sea with me. "These preparations raised the public surprise and curiosity to such a pitch that my first bath was watched by a crowd on the shore. My servants were asked If I had been bitten by a mad dog. "I aroused extreme pity as I went by, and it was thought that I was being taken down to be drowned. An old gentleman called on my father to point out to him that he was assuming a great responsibility in permitting so rash an act. It can hardly be imagined that the Inhabitants of a seashore could be so afraid of tbe sea. "But at that time tbe people of Dieppe were chiefly occupied in keeping out of sight oflt and in protecting themselves from the disasters which they feared the sea might bring, so that it was for them nothing more than a means of annoyance and suffering. It Is curious to think that ten years later bathers were arriving in hundreds, that special arrangements were made for their convenience and that sea bathing of every kind went ou without producing any astonishment in the neighborhood. "I have thus attempted to olnt out that the custom of sea bathing, which Is now so universal, is comparatively recent In France, for Dieppe was the flrat.jjlace where it began." 3( )C

EHM RESIGNED 10 CANNON VICTORY Uncle Joe Has Fight of His Life But It Is Predicted He Will Win. SPEAKER MADE DANVILLE.
IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR HIM, IT IS DECLARED, TOWN WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN HEARD OF FRIEND GIVES RECORD. Danville, 111., Nov. 2 "I tell you he fights for his people. He has been doing it for a third of a century. Is it any wonder that they will fight for him? He gets things. He brings work here that gives the men something to do, and he helps the district. He is always doing something for the home folks. Men come here who would never be in Danville if it were not for him. Telegrams go out of here dated Danville that never would be sent If it were not for him. He is the best advertisement Danville ever had. Nobody would ever have known that Canton was on tbe map if it had not been for McKlnley, and that's a good deal the way with Danville and Joe Cannon." That' in effect, is the way one of "Uncle's Joe's" enthusiastic supporters sums up tbe situation here in regard to the fight that is being made upon Speaker Cannon by a combination of opposite Interests. There is a variety of opinion in Danville as to the outcome of the struggle that has been going on for several weeks in the Eighteenth Illinois congressional district. Among the republicans who are working for the speakers re-election the prompt description of the fight is "nothing to it." Among the democrats who have been beaten to a standstill by the redoubtable old republican warhorse so often that they have lost hope and spirit there is resigned admission that he will win again tomorrow for the eighteenth time. The church people, who are supposed to be fighting him with all their might and ingunity, are saying very little about It, but the labor leaders here are as confident of victory as are the professional rainbow chasers about the national headquarters in Chicago. Almost Certain of Victory. The practical certainty is, however, that the church people will be disappointed, the labor leaders amazed, the democrats again resigned, and the republicans exultant when the votes are counted tomorrow night. The practical political reasons why speaKer uannon wm De rc-eiectea are, first, that he has far and away the best organization in the district working for him, and the second that this organization has the most telling arguments. Sentiment and high principle are all very well in their way. Gompers and his men can lay down the law about "Uncle Joe's" opposition to the demands of "labor;" the church people can hold up their hands in shocked horror at his profanity and his disregard of their demand for a specified brand of temperance legislation; the democrats can howl themselves black In the face about "CannonIsm," legislative obstructionism, czarism, and all the rest. These arguments and accusations only make the republican workers smile. Then they go out and tell the laboring men how "Uncle Joe" has just put through an appropriation for a Bew $275,000 federal building which is to be erected next year. "And you know how he is," they say. "None but union men can get a Job on that building. That means work for you. "It means also work for the brickyards and the stone cutters, for every branch of organized labor in the district almost, and 'Uncle Joe' is the man who did It. It means an advmce in the real estate held by the Democrats next to the site of the new building, and 'Uncle Joe' did that also. Howdoes that make that Democrat fr;el?

GETS FALSE TEETH LOST TWELVE YEARS Oil City, Pa-, Nov. 2. After resting at the bottom of French Creek for 12 years the false teeth of Jesse Wilmot, an Erie railroad employe of Miller station, were found yesterday by James White while fishing. Wilmot lost the teeth while bathing. They were returned to Wilmot and are now in use.
such a job for a constituent or the son of one, is that immediately upon graduation from college, the job holder shall resign, so that another may get a chance. That is just a sample of one phase of his activity for his district There are scores of pension bills on his if 11 and there is a soldiers home here, about the biggest and finest in the country, located in Danville through his efforts. It has 4,000 inmates, and i it brings a pretty penny to Danville, j for its regular up-keep, not to men tion the half million or more of pension money that the old soldiers receive and spend very largely here. It is no simple item in "Uncle Joe's" political assets that at least 1,600 of these soldiers vote in this district. "All the trouble with this district." said the man whose summing up is quoted above, "is almost all outside it i You won't find it here at home. It is made by fellows who live somewhere else. They have done such a lot of shouting that it has made people think something was wrong here. But there isn't anything wrong. We are all right The men in this district know what is good for them. They know what Cannon has done for the district and is doing right along, and they know how long it would take anybody else to get anywhere. Why, any other man would have to be elected to Congress for three or four terms before anybody on earth would know he was there, coming right after Cannon." "NOT SO," SAYS YQUNGROOSEVELT Refuses to Admit That He Is Engaged. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 2. "There is absolutely and positively not the slightest foundation for such a report," was the way Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., took of disposing of the report from Washington that he was engaged to marry Miss Carrie A. Munn, daughter of Mrs. Charles A. Munn of Scott Circle, Washington. He had just returned from the carpet factory where he is now working. Young Roosevelt did not deny that he knew the lady mentioned, but intimated that that was the extent of bis noauaintance with her. GOES TO ROCK ISLAND. New Paris Man to Take Train Auditor.
