Atlanta, March 9. Editor Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, replies editorially to the recent letter of President Roosevelt on the appoint of negroes to office in the South: "It is apparent," he says, "that the President has been disconcerted at the general criticism to which, he has been subjected in the South and by Northern newspapers as well for his assumed at titude of antagonism and rebuke to the white sentiment of the people of the South.

"It is equally apparent that the President prefers the good will of the South as he does that of every other section of the Union to such unpleasant con tempt as may be based upon the idea that he "is riding rough shod over the better sentiment of the people for the purpose cf emphasizing his 'adherence to a pet theory which finds no lodgment in the Southern mind, and but little in the North, "As the 'Constitution' stated in discussing Mr. Edwards' letter, the peo of the South would be more de lighted than those of any other section to find that the President's position had been misunderstood, and it is but Just to the President to say that, in the light of his own assurances, coupled with the statement. nf'Mr. Pace and that of Mr. Edwards, hla wnrris on.

iuuea 10 aue consideration and to the people. "The South would infinitely prefer to feel that the President sympathizes with Its better sentiment than to be forced to dwell in the thought that tills people are living under an administration hostile to all that the people of this section cling most tenaciously Jn defense of their underlying civilization. It is, perhaps, natural that the President, under all circumstances, should not say as much in giving his views on tcis subject as has been said for him by Mr. Edwards and Mr. Page, end yet the evident display of conservatism and friendly feeling in Mr, Roosevelt's ut teran.ee is so marked as to allow at ij ,.7 least suspension of criticism with the vlev ot rendering final judgment upon ttle subsequent events of his adminls tration." rtsw 3D DCSH3S2 Do you get up Id the morning tired?

CAK 'S K. C. Pa. WORK FOR LEGISLATURE 1 THERE IS PLENTY OF IT AND THE MEMBERS WILL HAVE TO GET BUSY THIS WEEK, Harrisburg, Mare 9. Comparatively few bills have passed finally at the present session of the General As sembly, and of those passed all but ten have been acted upon, by the governor, There are still before the Legislature about 750 bills, which means that both the Senate aud House will be kept busy to dispose of (hem before the final adjournment, on April 16.

The House appropriations committee has upwards of 300 bills wifcich have not yet been acted upon, and on many of these there will be hearing before they are dis posed of. It is expected that the Senate will during the coming week, dispose of the bill creating additional law judges for Cambria and Dauphin counties, and the University of Pennsylvania appropria tion bijl. Bills providing for the ap pointment of deputy game protectors; conferring upon William Bender Wil son, of Philadelphia, the rank of colonel and a medal for his services to the commonwealth as a military telegraph er during the Civil war, and authorizing the county commissioners of Phila delphia to appoint election officers and assessors in cases of vacancies will also be taken up. The Snyder bill, fixing the minimum salary of school teachers at 35 per month, has been made a special order for second reading in the Senate on Tuesday morning. The bill has already passed the House, and those having it charge say they have 29 votes pledg ed for it in the Senate, which practi cally assures its passage.

A large batch of appropriation bills was read for the first time in the HouseN tonight and will be passed on second reading Tuesday. The Wittig anti trading stamp bill, which has been amended so as not to apply to manufacturers. will be taken up by the House early in the week for final action. There are several bills of general in terest, including the Pusey anti cartoon bill, on the House "postponed for the present calendar, which may be called up after tonight. Governor Fennypacker has already signed one of the bills to correct the legal defects in the juvenile court act, recently declared unconstitutional by the superior court.

The companion bills were amended in the House to permit the boards of commissioners of the various counties to provide separ ate rooms in the jails and almshouses for youthful offenders. These changes are entirely satisfactory to the advo cates of the measure, and it is expected they will be concurred in by the Senate on Monday night, after which the bills will go to the governor. Among the bills which have not yet been acted upon by the executive is one appropriating $50,000 to prevent the spread of smallpox in the state. Some of the bills in the governor's hands, are defective, and at his suggestion they will be recalled by the Legislature for correction. None of the numerous appropriation bills' has reached the executive, and it is expected they will be among the last sent to him.

The members of the Legislature and heads of the state departments will be tendered a reception by the Harrisburg Board cf Trade, on Tuesday, from 9 to 11. Governor Pennypacker, Attorney General Carson and other state officials will ba present. March 17 the legislative Sons of St. Patrick will hold their fourth biennial subscntAioh dinner at the Board Trade bi'stlding.

Uneconomical and extravagant as we ace, we have not yel developed the "perfect spendthrift" as he is to be found on the other side of the Atlantic. It seems at times as if he must be a product of ah older, a more "effete" civilization.

The man, either young or old, who runs through a large fortune quickly is a rarity with us. High as our standard of living and of the ordinary expense of living is, our standard of what might be called profligate extravagance is by no means so high. Of course pretty large sums are wasted In various forms of dissipation here as elsewhere. But that is not the point To take the single item of gambling, how often. do we bear of a man's being ruined by it here? No doubt we bear stories of tremendous sums lostand won, but such sums do not seem either "to make or to break" anybody.

For men whose incomes are reckoned by the hundreds of thousands or millions to play hundred dollar poker is no great recklessness. But how often do we see young men of the small salaried sort punting 1,000 or $2,000 at a time at baccarat, as you can any day in France? We have not the instinct to save and scrape for eleven months in the year and then shell out all our savings ln a fortnight I once met in France a young man of old provincial firtnily, Legitimist to the backbone, proud and very poor. He was about twenty one, modest, thoroughly "correct," as good, innocent a young fellow as one would care to meet, the sort of young man who seems to have been overlooked and left out In the cold by French fiction, though by no means a grpat rarity in French real life. I happened to ask him one day if he ever played cards. He said no, he did not care for that sort of thing, and besides his means would not permit it.

"I never go into a gambling saloon," said he, "or Into the cardroom of a club. Sometimes I may join in a little game of poker among friends just to pass the time, but only a very small game, never more than a louis limit" A louis limit! I wonder what clubman (out of the millionaire class) in New York, Boston, Philadelphia or any of our larger eastern cities would call four dollar poker a "very small" game! Scribner's. FLOWER AND TREE. Powdered sulphur applied daily is a good remedy for mildew on rosebushes. riants niay be grown in comparatively small pots by applying a weak solution of guano.

Oregon is said to have a white sun llower which grows wild in some localities lii, the valleys of the Blue mountains. Cress is the quickest growing of plants. Under perfect conditions it will flower and seed within eight days ot planting. A northern aspect for the orchard gives a colderand later soil and retards theliiossoniing until a later period, thus lessening the danger from spring frosts. If for no other reason than its habit of late blooming, the salvia deserves a place in every garden.

Nothing can be more splendid than a well grown bed of salvia in early autumn. The finest house plants grow where the temperature does not get above 70 degrees nor lower than CO degrees. Bft most of us would think we were freezing to death in rooms of the best temperature for plants, 05 degrees. Gracefully Turned. Disraeli's, resourceful wit enabled him to play the courtier at aU times and to give as in an instance which the Loi)don Daily Chronicle recalls a complimentary turn even to satire.

Soon after he had received his title and had become the Earl of Beancons field an old peer greeted the new peer one day and asked him how ho felt, Boaconsfield was just walking away from the house of ldrds, but his thought seems to have been in the house of commons, for he said: "I feel as if I were dead and buried." The old peer looked aghast. "And," Beaconsfield continued, with scarcely a pause, "and in the land of the blessed." The old peep smiled again and loved Beaconsfield forever after. Colors of Children's Eyes. It has been conclusively proved that women have a larger proportion of brown eyes than men. If iii parents the mother has brown eyes and the father blue, the chances are eighty eight to twelve that the girls of the family will be brown eyed, the percentage in favor of the boys having blue eyes being seventy two to twenty eight.

If the parents have eyes of like color, the chances in favor of the children, both male and female, having eyes of the same color are ninety two to eight. A Hot Prophecy.

During the civil war a high spirited Virginia young lady whose father, a Confederate soldier, bad been taken prisoner by the Union forces, waa desirous of obtaining a pass which would enable her to visit him. Francis P. Blair agreed to obtain an audience with the president, but warned his young and rather Impulsive friend to be prudent and not betray her sympathy for the south.

They were ushered into the presence of Mr. Lincoln, and the object for which they had come was stated. The tall, grave man bent down to the little maiden and, looking searchlngly.into her face, said: "You are loyal, of course?" Her bright eyes flashed. She hesitated a moment, and then, with a face eloquent with emotion' and honest as hi3 own, she replied: "Yes, loyal to the heart's core to Virginia!" Mr. Lincoln kept his intent gaze upon her for a moment longer and then went to his desk, wrote a line or two and handed her the paper.

With a bow the interview terminated. When they bad left the room, Mr. Blair began to upbraid his young friend for her impetuosity. "Now you have done It!" he said. "Didn't I warn you to be very careful? You have oulyVourself to blame." Miss N.

made no reply, but opened the paper. It contained these words: Pass Miss N. She is an honest girl and can be trusted. A. LINCOLN.

Bed Jacket' Memory. Red Jacket, the Indian chief, had" more confidence in his own memory than in books and papers of white men. There was a council at one time before Tompkins, an early governor of New York, in regard to an ancient treaty. The agent said one thing, but Red Jacket corrected him. "You have forgotten," said the American agent "We have it written down on paper." "The paper then tells a lie," was the sonfideut answer.

"I have it written here," continued the chief, placing his hand dignity upon his brow. "You Yankees are born With a feather between your Augers, but your paper does not speak the truth The Indian keeps his knowledge here. This is the book the Great Spirit gave him. It does not lie." A reference was made to the treaty in question, when to the astonishment of all every word that Red Jacket had said was confirmed on tho document. Amused Only the Actors.

In his "Random Recollections" Charles II. E. Brookfleld. a highly esteemed actor on the London stage, says: "I remember a piece which we produced at the Comedy theater, writ ten by a gojuilnr author mid very" strongly cast, which amused us all so much that we could hardly rehearse it Charles Hnwtrey used every now and then to warn us: 'Now, don't speak too soon on that There's certain to be a big laugh, and we don't want them to miss the next We rehearsed for six weeks. On the first night nothing went wrong but the piece.

There was not one laugh nor one round of applause from start to finish.
