City This Is My 30th Birthday 'ADOLPH FREDERICK OF MECKLENBU RG-STRELITZ. Grand Duke Adolph Frederick of i Mecklenburg-Strelltz, whom rumor says has been selected aa the future husband of Princess Victoria Louise, only daughter of the German Emperor and Empress, was born June 17, 1882. He Is the eldest son of the reigning Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and a brother of Princess Militza of Monenegro. The reigning house of Mecklenburg-Strelltz was founded more than two centuries ago by Adolph Frederick, the second youngest con of Duke Adolph Frederick I. of Mecklenburg. The duchy is one of the smallest of the German empire, but at the same time It is considered a very important factor of imperial unity. "When Adolph Frederick comes to the throne he will be one of the wealthiest of the German sovereigns as he will bo the overlord of more than half the land ln his duchy. CONGRATULATIONS TO: !

Moon Blindness, ' A. naval correspondent had written from Port of Spain, Trinidad, stating that in his travels he had come across many cases of moon blindness, caused by men sleeping with the moon shining upon them, such cases occurring prlncipally ln the tropics and the Medlterj ranean. Strange to say, adds the Trinl- : dad correspondent, men so affected can see in daylight, but cannot do so when ' dusk sets in. Mr. Elgie further quotes from a communication made by a New Zealand correspondent to a weekly scientific Journal. This correspondent was many years ago an apprentice on , the Liverpool ship Langdale, an East ; India trader. Once when the ship was j botween St. Helena and the line some ) of the crew slept on deck fully exposed to the glare of the brilliant moon. : When they awoke three of them were quite moon blind. They bad to be led a boat at night and the ropes put into their bands. London Standard. A Theodore Thomas Retort. A characteristic story Is told of one of the first rehearsals of the college choir (of the Cincinnati College of Music), at which Theodore Thomas had ; reprimanded some of the sopranos : sharply for inattention. "He treats us as if we were members of his orchestra P exclaimed an indignant singer to her next neighbor. Thomas overheard the remark and let it pass for the moment, bat at the close of the rehearsal, as the performers were leaving the stage, he passed the lady in question and, turning to her. said very quietly, but with that biting sarcasm which those who knew him did not care to excite. 'Madam, yon will have to sing a great deal better than you do now before I shall treat yon as. I treat the members of my orchestraP -Memoirs of Theodore Thomas." Close Relationship. The Duke of Norfolk once gave a great dinner party to a number of his neighbors. The duke was at the head of the table, and a man seated near him called out to one of his neighbors at the other end of the table: "Mr. Howard, will you drink a glass of wine with me? There was a connection between our families.'! "With a great deal of pleasure," replied Mr. Howard, "though I don't know exactly what the connection is, but In this county there have beenseveral marriages between neighbors. ' "Why. sir." resumed the gentleman, -your ancestor. Lord William Howard, hung up twenty-three out of twentyseven of my family, and you mast own that was a tie. Kansas City Star.

The Day Before.

It has become a truism to say that never before in the history of the country has there been a situation like the present one. But it is not until the whole thing is counted up in one's mind that it ceases being a truism, a commonplace. It is not merely that personal side of the picture Theodore Roosevelt. It is remarkable enough that a man who has been accidentally placed in the president's chair should have been re-elected for second term. It i3 remarkable enough that practically, upon the assurance of this same man, a country rallied to the support of a man of whom it knew but little. The taking of Roosevelt's word that Taft would keep his pledges and carry on the fight which Theodore Roosevelt had waged for seven years was more remarkable than the re-election of Roosevelt after his first accidental term. But now a still greater marvel comes to pass. Breaking all precedents, as before, Roosevelt has forced the issue or rather he has been forced by the issue to be a candidate for the third time. Without patronage at his disposal, with nothing but his own dominant personality, with nothing but the faith still abiding in the people, he stands today at Chicago with nothing but machinery of the federal bureauocracy between him and the nomination. Which will win? The whole country believes, hopes and prays that he will win. For the second time in American history an example of popular rule against boss rule is thoroughly understood by the people. The first time a mere coincidence that in this fight was the Lorimer case. And it is not the same personell is ranged with Taft against Roosevelt that kept Lorimer in his bought seat. The whole country believes that this is done for the same reason.

Roosevelt will be nominated. For it is certain that unless Roosevelt himself indicates his satisfaction with another canidate that the people in those states which have held primaries will demand that they have the chance to vote for him. Again this surpasses the commonplace. By no conceivable belief or reasoning does this spring from any devotion to the man Roosevelt alone. It is not a personal fight, in that sense. It, in fact, represents the disgust of a people with the bi-partisan machine and its relations with Big Business. The fear of these people is that we shall have a Taft on the one hand and a Champ Clark or a Harmon on the other. They will not stand for the choice between two reactionaries. They will not remain without a chance to assert themselves any more than banked up water can be held by a weak barrier of dirt.

The men in those states that have not had primaries are every bit as determined as those who have voted. They too will not rest until they have a chance to vote for a progressive who believes in popular government. And the test of the whole is in an exterior situation. No eyes are turned toward Baltimore. No thought is given to that situation. The people have tired of "rebuking" one puppet by voting for another. They will have their own candidate.

Theodore Roosevelt will be nominated. No set of reactionaries in the country; no amount of gags, muzzles and harness can withstand what in any other country in the world would be a national revolution. If they go to the limit, these reactionaries will find themselves without a party.' Theodore Roosevelt is already nominated by the people. He will be elected. Is it so great a question or a matter of much moment whether the few men on the national committee desert the party the votes of Republicans? It is if one cares for the form and not the substance. But in case the machine shall carry this lost fight to its bitterest conclusion they will have not merely nominated Theodore Roosevelt but elected him for the third time President of the United States.

Arsenic has perhaps been more frequently used than any other poison for criminal purposes. It has been proved identical with the "wonderful elixir" of the seventeenth century, when secret poisoning became so frequent in Italy. Then young widows were abundant in Rome, and most of the unhappy marriages were speedily dissolved by the death of the husband. A secret society of young matrons was discovered, which met at the house of La Spara, a reputed witch, who supplied them with a slow, tasteless, colorless poison, carefully calculated to kill a husband in just the time that suited the purchaser. La Spara and thirteen of her companions were hanged, a large number of the culprits were whipped half naked through the streets of Rome, while others of the highest rank escaped with heavy fines and banishment. Coal and the Arts. An intimate connection between coal and the arts is seen in the career of Thomas Britton, the celebrated "musical small coal man." Over his coal shop in Jerusalem passage, ClerkenwelL he established in 167S a musical club, where every Thursday for nearly forty years was held a concert, at which nandel and all the greatest musicians of the day performed. To a love of music Britton joined a knowledge of bibliography, which brought him into contact with Harley, earl of Oxford, and other collectors. But he continued until his death in 1714 to sell coal in the streets of London and would frequently join his noble patrons on a book hunting expedition attired in his blue smock and with the coal sack be had been carrying all day over his arm.

MAGNIFIED HER WEALTH.

A Five Dollar Bill That Seemed to Be a Small Fortune. The woman handed her friend a five dollar bill. "See the number of small fives engraved on it?" she asked. "When I was in Denmark a few years ago such a bill as that caused me a great deal of amusement, and I had to surrender one before I could prove myself clear of a false belief regarding my finances. "An aunt whom I was visiting saw in my purse one day a number of these bills, and she asked to examine one. as it was so different from any of the Danish money. She studied It attentively a few minutes and then asked me how much it was. I told her it was $5, and, to my surprise, I saw she did not believe me. 'If it is only that amount,' she said, why has it so many little figures on it?' "I tried to explain, but I made little Impression on her. Later I beard she bad told our relatives that 1 was 'worth thousands and thousands of dollars and was trying to conceal the fact from the family lest they should expect some things of me that they would not otherwise. "When I heard that I was visiting In another part of the country and could not very well defend myself, so I hit on the expedient of sending my aunt a present of a five dollar bill. When she went to have it changed into the money of the country she was at last convinced, though at the price of having her dream of wealth rudely shattered." New York Press. Nature Teaches Inventors. "We get our hints from nature." the inventor said. "Take, for Instance, the hollow pillar, which is stronger than the solid one. The wheat straw showed us the superior strength of the hollow pillar. Solid, the wheat straw would be unable to support its head of grain. Where did man get his idea for carriage springs?

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE.

LET'S FIGURE. Here is the story of a man who shot his wife and little boy while they were asleep and afterward spent the night with a paramour. It is stated the man was a "highly respected citizen." Now, let's figure. Pull your chair up to the library table, sharpen your pencil and figure. Take a sheet of paper and put down at the top X ? How did the man fall? Now It is scarcely to be denied that he lost his character before he lost bis reputation. Is it not so? A few more figures. The body and the mind are Siamese twins. What affects one affects the other. This man, it is of record, poisoned his mind by liquors. He shattered his nerves by dissipation and abused his body by excesses. Another sheet of paper, please. Working both ends body and mind against the middle, what wonder standards of conduct were lowered, brain cells broken down, moral sense blunted. Still another sheet The man was not all in, but he was falling down. The process was at first gradual, and it did not make a showing on the outside. But on the inside he was a bundle of diseased organs, erratic impulses that led downward, a tigerish appetite. One more sheet It Is certain this man was not born a derelict. He made himself what he became. Shaping himself as he did, might he not have made himself different had he tried? Certainly. Then he was personally responsible for his fall and the foul deed? Fully so, both legally and morally responsible. Deliberately and wittingly he had immersed himself, body and soul, in the deeps of hell. Now let's foot up the figures. What is the sum? Because the arithmetic of a moral decline may be Just as accurate, mind you, as the law of a falling body. First A man, free moral agent, may incarnate himself Into a devil if he chooses so to do. Second. He may do this with open eyes both as to the progress and the outcome, knowing and even fearing what may be the end. Third. From the figures and the casting up of the account we may draw the moral that But you have the data. Make your own deductions. Skeletons For Doctors. The mode of preparing skeletons for the use of the medical profession" is a very delicate operation. The scalpel is first called into requisition to remove the muscular tissues. Its work being done, the bones are boiled, being carefully watched meanwhile that they may not be overdone. After this cannibalistic procedure they are bleached in the sun. Even the spots of grease are sure to appear when they are exposed to heat The French treat these with ether and benzine, securing thereby a dazzling whiteness, which is a distinguishing mark of their skeletons. A brass rod with all the proper curvatures supports the spinal column. Delicate brass wires hold the ribs in place. Hinges of the most perfect workmanship give to the joints a graceful and lifelike movement Cleverly concealed hooks and eyes render disjunction at pleasure possible. The whole construction plainly indicates the care and skill of an artist and connoisseur. She Was Willing. The man was one of the sort that women like because of their awkwardness, ugliness, masculinity, gaucberie and all that His feet were too big for his legs, though his legs were enormous. Bis chest was too big for bis head, though he wore a seven and oneeighth size in bats. He was like a St Bernard pup. but older than any young dog. He had never been at a regular dance before. The girls looked like delicate flowers to him, and be hardly dared to touch one of them. He looked to the girls like a new idea, and they hoped he'd arrive. He did after a minute or two. He waddled across the floor, made a stand ln front of the littlest girl and said, more or less ungrammatically: "Can I dance with you? She was rattled, but she answered with a smile: "I don't know, but I like you enough to let you tryl" Cleveland Plalu Dealer. A Mighty Orchestra. One of the most remarkable concerts ever held was projected by P. 8. Oilmore of Boston as a celebration of the peace following the war between the states. A remarkable feature of the concert was the grand orchestra, composed of 1.094 pieces, the largest orchestra ever assembled in this country. It consisted of tbe following instruments: One hundred and fifteen first violins. 100 second violins, 65 violoncellos. 65 violas. 85 double basses. S flutes. 8 clarinets, 8 oboes. 8 bassoons. 12 horns. 8 trumpets, 9 trombones. 3 tubas, 10 drums, 25 piccolos and flutes. 20 Eb clarinets. 50 Bb clarinets. 50 Eb cornets. 75 Bb cornets. 75 Eb alto horns. 25 Bb tenor horns. 50 tenor trombones. 25 bass trombones. 23 Bb baritones, 75 Eb bass tubas, 50 small drums, 25 bass drums, 10 cymbals and 10 triangles. A Bear and a Log Jam. A big log jam that on one occasion blocked an Illinois river was broken In a peculiar manner. A brown bear was noticed by one of the rivermen prowling around the skids and later was observed crawling over the piled up timber. Gradually bruin worked his way down to the key log and attacked it frantically. Instantly the mass of logs broke. The bear was crashed to pieces. Later it was learned that the key log was filled with honey.

POLITICAL POOL A SEETHING PUZZLE, WeiTES SAM BLYTHE

No One Knows Who Will Be Nominated in the Opinion of the Famous Political Authority. BOTH SIDES HOPEFUL BY SAMUEL G. BLYTHE. Copyright: 1912: By Samuel C. Blythe. CHICAGO, June 17 The great basic truth concerning the political situation in Chicago, the one fact about v, hich the whole convention revolves. a very simple truth. This is it: No man in this city, nor any man of this hemisphere, or the other one, knows, absolutely, who will be nominated for president by the convention that meets next Tuesday. Many; men say that they know many men claim to know; but no man krows, for every claim put out is founded, not on fact, but on hope. Stripped down to the bone, this is the condition jttat exists: The Roosevelt managers nit- reriain mey nave secured some oi the Taft delegates, but they are uncertain how many delegates the Taft managers have secured. The Taft managers are in the same case. Each side makes confident assertions, but each side secretly Is scared stiff. The fight is not only to retain delegates, but to obtain them. Taft Men Show Their Fears. The Taft men say hey have from T55 to 565 delegates no arguments or inducements can take away from them. Then they show their fears by asserting that if Roosevelt men do get any Taft delegates they have pledged Roosevelt delegates who are ready to desert Roosevelt and come over to fill (he vacancies. The Roosevelt men talk impressively of a certain number of delegates counted for Taft on the rock bottom, 'inside Taft list, who will vote for Roosevelt on all ballots, but they wonder if all their own men are tried and true. Thus the struggle has developed from an ordinary political manipulation to a question based on the mental and moral stamina of a definite number of men. It isn't politics that overshadows. It is the personal equation. What will these men do when they come to the doing time? Will The Taft Men Hold Firm? Will the Taft men, bound by no other ties other than loose party strands, hold firm, or will they give in to the arguments of the Roosevelt men that the only way to win is to name Roosevelt? The person who can. answer that question can tell who will be nominated, but that person hasn't appeared in Chicago yet. The answering of it involves the solution of some 1,070 separate, individual psychological problems, and most of the psychologists around the various headquarters are rank amateurs. Even the injection of one Bull Moose into the situation this afternoon did not change the aspect of affairs, except to make the result more indeterminate. Col. Roosevelt arrived and the clamor was tremendous, but the politicians kept on working steadily and the delegates remained a mystery. Something may break before Tuesday that will settle the fight in one of the three ways It can be settled with Taft, with Roosevelt, or a thirdman but nothing has broken yet, and not many cracks are apparent. Each Side Has Hopea Aplenty. Neither side is sure. Each side, has lopes aplenty, but each side, also, has a supply of fears that hang around persistently as the negro brethren and are of the same color. Naturally, each side has a plan of campaign aside from the minor strate gic details that always go with national nominations. The plan of the Taft men is broad and comprehensive. The Taft men are using Taft as a candidate merely because he is the only man who fits in with their purpose. Beyond a few personal retainers no Taft man is sincerely, loyally, last ditchedly for Taft. In this game they would be for Smith or Johnson or anybody else, ir Smith or Johnson or anybody else was the person with whom to operate. The persons the Taft men are for are themselves. The person they are against is Roosevelt. As has been said, they are not pro-Taft, but are antiRoosevelt. Taft, is their available instrument for obtaining their end. So thty are trying to nominate Taft. Taft Leaders For Themselves. The apparent Taft leaders have not even party loyalty for Taft. They do not care whether Taft is president again or not, except so far as their Individual political fortunes are concerne.l. Ta,ft is handy in this contingency and they are U6ing him. Their plan is this: They are convinced the Republican party is in for a beating this fall with Taft as a leader, and they have tlready taken their losses, to use a Wall street phrase, and are looking ahead to 1916. They think that by naming Taft and defeating Roosevelt they can force a bolt and thus purge the party of what they call, populism, and what Roosevelt men call progressiveism. Thus, with this element out, they retain control of the old machinery, and go ahead and try to build up something for 1916. It Is a purely selfish, old time political program, being played by entirely selfish, old line politicians. Hcpe to Force Roosevelt Bolt They know with Roosevelt they lose everything, even if Roosevelt shall be nominated and defeated. They contend if Roosevelt Is not nominated and they can force him to bolt, he will take with him tbe elements of the party opposed to their views and policies, and leave them to gather up the wreckage and make another machine out of the scraps. They realise the came It desperate, tot so

art they. They have nothing to gain with Roosevelt, and everything to lose, v.hereas, if they can name Taft, and Taft is defeated, they still retain their craps, and have four years in which to rebuild. If Taft shall be named and elected they are ln clover. This explains the course of the Republican national committee in the contests. They are determined to name Taft and eliminate Roosevelt for they krow If they do not eliminate Roosevelt they will be eliminated. This exl lains the bittter fight being conducted by Crane, and Penrose, and Barnes, and all the rest of the Taft men. They are fighting for themselves and lor their particular personal kind of a Republican party and not for any other thins, or condition, or person. They have lined up all the regulars, und are fighting for regularity, for the old older, for the old guard. And they are fighting hard and skillfully, and resourcefully, and relentlessly, with an ample war chest and efficient handlers oi what it contains. Call Roosevelt People's Choice. Conversely, the Roosevelt partisans contend these men no longer type, or even represent, the Republican party of today. They point to the almost unbroken line of successes of Col. Roosevelt in the primary states as evidence that the people in the party r.re for the colonel, no matter what the tosses say. Still, great as the popular vprising was. it was not great enough because of old conditions, perhaps, flat prevailed in many states, and the f t ill potent fetish of the organisation, to bring the Colonel to Chicago a clear v.irner. r Instead. Col. Roosevelt comes with not quite enough votes, comes as a disI rted and not as an undisputed victor. Thus, his supporters hold, something must be done to push him over, to secure for him enough further convention support to make his popular support valid in the convention. What the Roosevelt men need is a firing on Fort Sumter. They want something to crystallize the public fpirit, to force public indignation, or arouse enough public sentiment to compel the nomination of Roosevelt, despite the opposition of the machine. They say the sentiment for him exists, but It must be developed here concretely. Coup Needed to Arouse People. Their campaign has been to bring about some coup that will excite the people sufficiently to have the needed effect on enough delegates to insure the nomination of the colonel. They bad hopes they could taunt the old guard on the national committee to throw out all of California or to take all the California delegates for Taft. The old guard would not be taunted. The old guard knew such action would be sure to stir the people more than taking the delegates in Indiana or in any of the other states. So they took only two in California, and they- let in the Roosevelt Missouri contingent

and confined their operations chiefly to southern states, whose const eat ants or regulars, no matter how outraged, caunot excite any public indignaUon whatsoever in the breasts of the Republicans. This strategy failing, the next move was to bring on Roosevelt. He came. He is here.

Colonel In Fort Sumter Role. At present the colonel's role Is that of Fort Sumter. He is trying to be the inciting cause for the crystallisation of all anti-boss sentiment to arouse the people, both here and elsewhere, fufflclently so they will go to war, as the people were aroused in 1861. after being ln a ferment for years the colonel's ferment being smaller, of course and extending only over months, although the revolt has been In progress unled by him, for a long time. This Is the real reason for the appearance of Col. Roosevelt in Chicago yesterday. He is the trump card of the Roosevelt managers. They have played him. and are waiting to see whether he is big enough to take the trick. But the situation is not two sided. It is triangular. Out in the country there are hundreds of thousands of Republicans who are sick of the whole business. They are Republicans before they are Taft men. or Roosevelt men: end they are thinking "third man." and talking "third man," and rrot est sting by wire and by letter ot the leadtrs that the Republican party is greater than any individual, or set of Individuals, and must not be wrecked to satisfy the ambition of any individual or any groups. Secretly for Third Mm." Also, there are many of the Taft men and many of the Roosevelt men. the leaders here and elsewhere, who tealize the destruction to the party that must follow the nomination of cither Taft or Roosevelt, and they nre. secretly, for a third man, if one can be secured. If one can be secured. That Is the rrux of it. As it now stands neither Taft nor Roosevelt men can whisper compromise. The suggestion must come simultaneously, for if a Taft man should suggest a third man to a Roosevelt man. the Roosevelt man would immediately spread the news that tbe Taft forces were weakening, hnd they would be, and tbe Taft man would perform the same pleasing office in rase the Roosevelt man spoke first. They must speak together, and it Isn't time yet But the time may come. It will not come, of course, if the Taft men can win with Taft or the Roosevelt men can win with Roosevelt but consider the possibilities; no matter what the claims of the rival managers are.
