Oaly the mrarcs 1 ia lta mart an hp the Aasoclstioa. aiimnnmiin a J terns Gathered m From Far and Near Democratic Overconf idence. From the New York Sun. It is almost pathetic to contemplate t this time the rejoicings of the democratic rank and file over the election of Mr. Fobs in Massachusetts and the defeat in New York of Mr. Aldrldge. They see in these two events a final consummation of republican downfall and appraise the retirement of Messrs. Aldrlch and Hale as contributory testimony. Neither personal nor local considerations affect their 'ecstasy.' The republican party is consigned to the demnitlon , bow-wows and a triumphant democracy, long banished, though unjustly, from the fount of, emolument and perquisite to aay nothing of the minor Issues of power and authority, is now on top with all banners waving. It is all over but the shouting! We do not say that the republican party is secure, far from it; but we do say that if the democracy approaches it with overconfidence. Interprets its misfortunes as an abandonment of principle and an expedient of despair and resignation, the democratic party is doomed to bitter disappointment. In , , New York and New England at least re publican voters are to some extent independent. Smarting under a sense of wrongV moral or economic, they are quite capable of temporary disaffection. They have shown it in Massachusetts and in New . York, but their protest has not been against republicanism aa they understand it. They have protested against republicanism as they do not understand it. :f Everybody's Friend. From the Baltimore Sun. . ,, It will be many a day before the people of "the United States forget Mark Twain the man. Since far back In the 70's he had been one of our national celebrities, and perhaps the greatest of the clan-beaming, expan ' slve and kindly; a star at all great public feasts; the friend of presidents and millionaires, of archbishops and . actors, welcome everywhere and al ways In good humor; a fellow of Infi nlte jest. As the years passed his niMiir.un.io fimra m mr.ro and i mora familiar and lovable. Every town of any pretentions knew htm.

The news that he was to be present was enough to make a success of anything, from a bacchanal of trust magnates to a convocation of philologists. Hughes for the Supreme Court. , From the Philadelphia Ledger. There will be very great satisfaction If It be true, as now reported, that the president intends to nominate Gov.' Hughes of New York to the . .vacant place in the ; supreme court : inn mar no ia iiiroiv in km.i.i tna nn. pomtment. There could be no question of the excellence of this choice. The doubt has related to. Gov. Hughes' withdrawal from active political life at this very crltcal time in the nolitlcs of his own great state, with its important Influence In .the .politics of the nation. While he has not been a political governor, having persistently put the service of the state above party, his high Independence has been gradually drawing New York republicans to his leadership, and it seems likely that only by follong his ideals can they avoid defeat at the next dec tlon. Tha Busy Season. From the St. Joseph Gasettc.

"HuckFinn" Weeps Over Mark Twain's Death; First Sweetheart is Sad and Talks About Him

Pari", Mo". April 26. B. C. MV (Barney), Farthing, the original or ''Huckleberry Finn," wept when he heard of Mark Twain's death. "The old day are passing," he aid. "Even the long sweep of the majestic Mississippi river seems to nave dwjodled. The noise of its traffic and the music of its deep-throated whistles are practically no. more. "The man who put into words for the delight of the world the pictures of the great river is dead." FIRST 8WEETHEART MOURN8. Hannibal. Mo., April 26. Mrs. Laura Fraser ("Becky Thatcher"), known as Mark Twain's first sweetheart, said: "I can see him in my mind's eye now as we started to our first school together, more than sixty years ago, he barefooted and fingers stained with mulberries as he divided the berries with me, a little girl in calico dress, sunbonnet and pig tails." Mrs. Fraser, told last night of a visit she made to the humorist's home in Connecticut a couple of years ago. "I visited Mr. Clemens at his home in Redding, Conn., at his request, with my niece. Miss Laura Fraser, in 1908," said Mrs. Fraser, "and on leaving insisted upon, him visiting again his old home in Hannibal. "He replied, sadly; 'Laura, I guess the next extended trip I will take will be up yonder, I can hardly expect to visit the scenes of my childhood again as much genuine pleasure as it would give me.' . ''We remained at Mr. Clemens' home," continued Mrs. Fraser, "two days. On the morning of our departure I found on a table in my room a splendid steel engraving of himself and written above it these words: "To Laura Fraser, with love of her earliest sweetheart.' "He was one of my dearest friends, cannot express my great sorrow at his death.'? Hannibal Wants His Remains.

The news of the death was received with profound grief in Hannibal, his boyhood home. Many of the characters in his earlier books are still living here. AJ1 business places and city offices were closed on the day of the funeral. Memorial services will be held at the same hour as the services In the east, A lengthy telegram of condolence was sent to Mrs. Gabrilowitsch, urging that the body be buried here, in the same lot with his father, mother and brothers. A movement has been started to have Clemens' boyhood home purchased by the state. State Senator McAllister said that a bill to this effect would be introduced in the next legislature.

MARK TWAIN A REPORTER. San Francisco, Cal., April 2G. San Francisco's "old timers" are conjuring up reminiscences galore of the days, fifty years ago, when Samuel L. Clemens-was plain Sam Clemens, and the name "Mark Twain" bad little significance for anybody except steamboat men on the Mississippi river. ' , "Back in the old days," said Muser Joseph T. Goodman, the pioneer editor of the west, who gave Clemens his first job as a writer, "Sam was the best company, the drollest enter tainer and the most interesting fellow imaginable. His humor was always creeping out and stayed with him to the last. "A few weeks ago I received a letter from him. couched in terms so char acteristic. He wrote: 'Come on and visit me once. more before we get so old we can't hear each other swear. "It was my privilege to read many of his works in the manuscript before they were, sent to the publishers. I recollect his giving me the manuscript of 'Roughing It to read, one afternoon when I was visiting him in the early seventies. "He had made a great hit with 'Innocents Abroad' and he was afraid he would not sustain his newly acquired reputation. When I began to read, Sam sat down at his desk and wrote nervously. . "For an hour I read along intently, LIFE PROBLEM EASY Young Frenchman Discovers How to Live at Expense of Other People. HIS SYSTEM A SIMPLE ONE (Special Cable from the International News Service.) Paris, April Andre Laturbe, a young Parisian who thought he had solved the problem of living at other people's expense, was arrested today for a most ingenious fraud. His method was to go to a fashionable restaurant and dine well. When he got to the cheese stage he produced from his pocket a little tin box full of spiders. To execute a couple of spiders on the plate from which he was eating , his cheese was the work of an instant. Then he called the waiter and protested loudly against filthiness of supplying food with spiders in It. On the arrival of the manager he protested still more loudly, and the ruse invariably ended by the distracted manager hushing the thing up by inviting the outraged customer to take a glass of old brandy and tendering profuse apologies. Of course the waiter was instructed to present no bill. ; But this afternoon Laturbe in choosing a retaurant where he had not been before, happened to choose one that employed a waiter who had seen his trick at another , establishment. This man quietly sent for the police, arid when Laturbe had been arrested and was searched the box of spiders was found in his pocket. CATCH RUNAWAY BOY Feeble-minded Youth from Columbus, 0., Wanted to Seethe World. HIS ACTIONS ARE PECULIAR "I wanted to see something of this world and besides I was tired of work ing for, nothing. These are the reasons given by Jerri McCabe, an eighteen year old boy who was arrested this morning for running away from Dr. Emerick's institute for the feeble minded at Columbus, O., Sunday night. The lad attracted the attention of pedestrians on Main street this morning by his peculiar actions. He would not use the sidewalk and was walking down the center of the street when apprehended by. Patrolman Vogelsong. The boy declared that he had oeen an inmate of the Columbus Institution for about eight years. He had no complaint to offer over the treatment, accorded him but simply left, hs said, because he never had seen anything, and wanted to take a peep at what was going on. However ; the youth admitted that the world was a much bigger place than he thought ft was and was perfectly willing to return to the home, where three meals a day and a place to sleep are assured him. The authorities at Columbus will be notified ot the runaway's apprehension. The natives of Korea carry visiting cards which measure about twelve Inches sauare and when their use is required they are merely shown. - -

I don't believe I'm keeping up my lick.'" Mark Twain's First Assignment. uooaman gave Mark Twain his first position as a writer In 182 on ths Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise. In 1863 Clemens was sent by Goodman to report the session pf the Nevada legislature at Carson City. It was while on this assignment that Clemens wrote the first story to which the nom de plume "Mark Twain" was signed. Clemens, writing as Mark Twain, with a freedom of style, and comment that was as breezy and open as the

Clemens was commissioned by the Sacramento Union in 1807 to go to the Sandwich Islands and describe them and their people. In 18C9 he went to New York. He never returned to San Francisco. Most of the "Old Guard" who were Intimately acquainted with Clemens are dead.

It was said of Clemens that, as a re-1 porter here, he had not the slightest conception of the value of news. He would go out to a coroner's inquest and report proceedings after the manner of a society wedding, and would write up a wedding in the style of a prize fight, Only the ridiculous appealed to him. He warped all his reportorial workings to strike that key.
