There has been a lingering suspi

cion- for months that King might be a candidate for the nomination for con

gress in the Eleventh district, and it Is not certain yet that he will not be. But he said while here that the way

things are going in Washington on the tariff matter he is not sure that he wants to be a candidate. He says things are, so mixed over .the tariff question that it is mighty uncertain

for congressional candidates or eiiner party. He believed the next fight

er his successor will be a wet or dry

republican remains to be seen. Wayne county was the first county in the state to vote itself wet at a local option election, but whether this same spirit will control the next nomination of a candidate for representative to succeed Ratliff is still a question. The eeneral belief here, however, is that a

dry man will be nominated. Wayne

county just now holds' a unique position among the republican counties

for that reason.

, NIGHT SCENE AT CONEY ISLAND.

SAM HOUSTON'S MOTHER.

New York, Jane B. "Tou Americans

work harder when you play than we

do In China when we are really work

ing," cald Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister. Lolling comfortably in an armchair in his apartment at the Hotel Manhattan, just before starting for the

steamer on which he sailed for Panama. Wu Ting. Fang seemed to enjoy the comparative calm of being interviewed after the turbulence of an evening at Coney Island. "And I had never been to . Coney Island before last night," he regretted gravely. "In no place in the world that I have ever been is there anything at all like it," he went on in his weighed, precise English. "In . Chicago they have what they call their amusement parks, but it is not on as large a scale as Coney Island.

"What would the Chinese people think of Coney Island if it were suddenly set down there?" "China would not be prepared for a Coney Island now." he conceded diplomatically. ; "Meaning that your country people would be shocked by the things we do at Coney island?" "Yes," he admitted, "they would be especially the women. Our women would not do those Coney island things, slides and merry-go-rounds and all that, and they would be shocked tq see any other woman do it" "You see we, as a race, do not take our work and our amusements as strenuously as you do. We work away quietly, keeping at a thing always until we accomplish it, but never with the same loss of nervous energy that

the American wastes. So, when it comes time for us to play, we play more tranquilly." "But you did some of the stunts at Coney island last night?"

"Yes, I did." admitted Wu TirFang, and his gray eyes twinkled. "I did many 'stunts,' as you call them, and I learned many things. For instance, I learned that a 'hot dog may be a sausage with mustard between two pieces of bread, or it may be an imitation sausage made of candy. "And I went down the 'shoot the chutes. " he explained, "not so much because I wanted to, but because the ladies in our party urged me to. Nevertheless, it was very fine. "Shall I go to Coney Island again? Well, if I do. I think I will go into training first," and he settled back more comfortably on his cushions.

At the Gannett. Considerable interest has been aroused in the new amusement offering for the Gennett Theatre next week starting with a with a matinee, Monday. . Three exceptionally strong (vaudeville , acts : have been arranged for- in addition to the latest and best moving picture service.

lUchmond for, next week. Jaffie and fLavigne are two clever boys and present some entertainment In the way of singing, dancing and piano playing.

STBOtiG DRY MAN WILL BE MISSING

AT NEXT SESSION Luman K. Babcock, Representative from Steuben and Lagrange, Will Not Be Candidate Next Time. MADE REPUTATION AS A STRONG FIGHTER

Gave Symptoms of Being Either an Ardent Temperance Man or of Being Hypnotized by Hanly.

Indianapolis, Ind., June 5. One of

the strongest temperance v men that ever sat in the house of representatives in Indiana will not be there at the next session. ' Luman K. Babcock, representative from Lagrange and Steuben counties, who was in this city yesterday, says he will not be a candidate for re-election. He has served two terms. He lives at Topeka, in Lagrange county, and he sajta that it ts an. unwritten law in that district for one county to have the representative two terms and the other to have him the next two terms. So, he says, it is now Steuben county's turn to name the man who- will represent the two counties during the next four years in the house of representatives. ' Will Be Missed. Babcock will be missed, in the house for he Is a fighter and everybody found It out while he was there. - Wlen he came to the legislature in 1907 he was new and - untried. He had ' been a teacher in the schools : of Lagrange

county however, and it was poon

that he knew his business. Soon aft

er he was elected Babcock' showed symptoms either of being a staunch re-1 former or of having been hypnotized by Governor Hanly. " It was hard to tell for a time which it was. But whatever it was, the result was the same. Babcock fell in with every

thing that Governor Hanly proposed.

He fought hard for the passage of the thousand dollar saloon license bill; he led the fight for the bill to create a separate insurance department; in fact whatever Hanly wanted Babcock tried to give him. : At the special session of the legislature last September Babeock was one of the , . leaders in the fight for the passage of the county local option bill, another purely Hanly measure. .:f Was Private' Secretary. So well did Babcock do hie work that when Fred Gemmer resigned as private secretary to Governor Hanly last fall, the governor appointed Babcock as his private secretary to serve the rest of his term. Babcock served in that capacity until Hanly went out of office in January. . But Babcock will not be there again. He is a student, now in the law de

partment at Indiana university, but during all of the local option campaigns in the various counties he has found time to spare to go out and make a few speeches for the drys. He

made nearly a dosen speeches in Mon

roe county. He has not lost one Iota of his faith in Hanly nor any of his conviction that the county option la is the proper thing. When he was in this city yesterday Babcock was on his way to Lagrange county to make speeches today, tomorrow and Monday. Lagrange county will hold a. county option election next Tuesday. j Will Be Republican. The district composed of Lagrange and Steuben counties is strongly republican, and, of course, Babcock's successor will be a republican. - Babcock said, however, that it is possible he may get into the race for the nomination for senator at the expiration of the term of Senator.' Charles W. KlmmelL of KendaUville, who represents Lagrange and Noble counties in the upper house of the legislature. Another strong republican) member who will be missing from : the next house will be Fred L King, of Wabash ooafttjr. King was the republican

floor leader in the last house, and he Is credited with doing good work for his party in that capacity. He also has served two terms. When he was asked whether he would be a candidate for renomination he said: Not a Candidate. "No, I shall not be a candidate. I feel that I have given all the time to the job that I can afford to give and spent all the money I care to spend. Let some one else have a little of it.

For the Children's Saks She Paced the Perils of the Wildernssa 'The ''mother of 'Sam Houston was another woman wbo for the eake of her children hazarded the dangers of the wilderness journey without the protection of a man's strong arm. Houston's friend and biographer, C Edwards Lester, portrayed her as "an extraordinary woman, distinguished by an impressive . and dignified countenance and gifted with Intellectual and moral qualities which elevated her in a still more striking manner above most of her sex." The death of her husband left Mrs. Houston In poor circumstances and with a growing family of six sons and three daughters. Knowing that many of her neighbors who bad gone west had prospered, she determined to follow their example in order , that her children might get a good start In life, sold her Virginia farm and Journeyed to Tennessee, ending her migration only when within eight miles of the boundary between the settlements of the whites and the wigwams of the Cherokees. There she erected a rude cabin with the help of her oldest boys, and there

she labored diligently to bring up her

children to be nrefnl men and women. It was for them that she toiled and

prayed and denied herself, personifying in her devotion another trait of the mothers of the early west flmlth's
