87 Washington The F. S. Webb Company tn WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1903. GIVING THE HORSE A SHOW. Considering that the horse had been relegated to the bone pile by those persons who happened to have the price of an automobile, the friend of man seems to be doing pretty well, thank you.

The horse and his aristocratic family received all the adulation and applause there was coming last night at the horse show, which was opened most auspiciously. horse himself seemed to be altogether oblivious to the fact that he belonged in the he had lived too long and had happed on the horseless age. He was there in all the pride of an ancestry that was undeniable. He paraded in all the bravery of one who knows he is the observed of all observers. Pretty women, handsomely gowned, and men who were inclined to assume the airs of the connoisseur of horse flesh, contributed glorification of the horse.

It was a proud day. or night, for the horse and he bore honors without blushing. It is a pretty good sign of the times that people have the means and disposition to indulge in a horse show. Ir is a good thing for the public mind and a delight to the public eye. That the horse show bids fair to be a success from every point of view is a matter for congratulation.

The more we see of the horse the better men and women we arc inclined to be. and if all other shows were as elevating as the horse show we would be the better off. Secretary Shaw has decided to let Mrs. Shaw go to Europe alone. Doubtless the secretary has concluded to wait until the Englishmen have forgotten what Mrs.

Shaw said about English court functions. THE AFFRONT TO COL. J. HAMILTON LEWIS. "What doth it profit a man to have his whiskers excite the admiration and envy of friends and neighbors if the stranger regards them as an evidence only of that verdency which we associate with farm life?" Thus Col.

J. Hamilton Lewis, whose hirsute adornment, formerly a glory, has become an object of querulous questionings and nainful doubts. For the colonel, because of his whiskers, has been taken for a farmer and a Boer and he whom the Windy City has always considered a fine example of the urban "swell," sits in a rear seat and ponders the ironies of life and the hollowness of fame. The case of Col. Lewis is but another proof of the truth of the homily that what has been a man's prop may become his pitfall.

Whiskers cannot make the man, of course, but CoL Lewis' enemies have not been slow toassert that deprived of his chin adornment and hirsute breastplate, the colonel would pass unnoticed in a crowd; tHat smooth-shaven, his outward appearance would reveal nothing that might be mistaken as an evidence of inward greatness. But while it is true that, as the Persians say, we learn the truth from our enemies, no one knows what degree of truth is represented in this assertion of Col. Lewis' enemies for the reason that nobody has ever seen him" without his whiskers. That he relied on them, to a great extent, to fix his place in the world cannot be doubted. They represented for him fame's hall mark, not valuable in themselves, but precious for what they represented.

But. Col. Lewis' whiskers possess significance other than individual. In a clean-shaven age, he has clung to what was once considered a mark of virility. Backwoodsmen today retain their whiskers because razors are luxuries and barber shops far away.

The bewhiskered Col. Lewis, however, is an evidence that the bearded gentleman has not become totally extinct. The time may come when, like the bearded lady, he will be found only in a museum, but as long as Col. Lewis retains his whiskers and remains in Chicago that danger will be averted. And, fortunately for those who believe in whiskers, Col.

Lewis has evinced no intention of having them removed, in spite of the insult. Indeed, in view of the fact that the man who took him for a farmer and a Boer has apologized, it is probable that the Colonel will endeavor to forget the incident. Yet his faith in his whisker; has undoubtedly received a rude.shock. It is probable that he will continue to feel a certain pride in them, but it is not pr6bable that he will swear by them hereafter as do the Mohammedans by the beard of their prophet. Montana is in need of sheep shearers.

Why doesn't she put some of her "lamb shearers" to work? If reports are to be believed, she has any number of these. THE PASSING OF THE LECTURE BUREAU. The recent death of Maj. James Burton Pond, the well known lecture bureau conductor, again calls attention to the fact that the lecture bureau, considered in the strictest meaning of the phrase, is practically a thing of the past. America owes much her lecturers of other days and, incidentally, her debt to those who arranged what were once regarded as rich literary treats is not small.

But the newspapers, the cheap magazines, and the inexpensive books, for a long while silent but potent rivals of the plaform speaker, have gradually ousted him from the rostrum. Occasionally a lecture is arranged for today and if the lecturer has accomplished something that entitles him to fame, or if he has achieved notoriety, people flock to hear of curiosity. But for any message he may have, the public cares not a whit. This indifference is not always due to a lack of appreciation of the man himself on the part of the general public Only that public knows that his message will undoubtedly be published in if, indeed, it has not already been the. magazines and that it will be able to read the message there at its leisure.

And if the lecture tour is merely an aftermath of some eccentricity or notoriety on the part of the and it is to be regretted that the theater is not the only institution recruited by the public, in the columns of the daily papers, has already been surfeited with the of that eccentricity or' notoriety. There is nothing for it to learn. It has i only a visual curiosity to satisfy. 1 The newspapers, the magazines, the inexpensive books are not tto be condemned, certainly, but surely the passing of the lecture bureau, and, with it, the lecturer deserves the tribute of a sigh. The one the old time lecturer paid in the winter season to some shut-in Western-town provided food for thought and conversation to last the remainder of the year.

And it was nourishing and well seasoned food, too, as a rule. Today, that same Western town, or its prototype, devours all the new books, the periodicals and the newspapers as well, but has no time for conversation and no mind for thought. For while this is a book age, it is not a bookish age. It is not probable that the lecture bureau will be revived though its name will be retained to cover a multitude of sins in the way of budding elocutionists, monologue "artists," music "prodigies" and impersonators of both sexes. But the lecturer whose scholarly eloquence imparted to the spoken language an elegance that does not characterize it today has gone never to return unless printing goes out of fashion and the general public is again forced to listen rather than to read.

Now that it is practically decided that typewriting can be identified, there is more danger than ever of the correspondent becoming the co-respondent. THE WORLD OF GRAFT. Mr. Josiah Flj-nt, who spent some years consorting with the denizens of the under world in order to get material for the beutiful stories which so impressed with their truthfulness those readers who never came into contact with a grafter, got into the wrong set. He should have got a job in the general postoffice.

In all the history of the country there never was anything like the good thing that the postoffice department has been as a field for exploitation by the grafter. It has not been a mine, but a veritable Cornstock lode and Cripple Creek combined. And it needed by a commission of any sort to prospect this lode and stake out a claim. As for the working of the ciaim that was taken care of by outsiders who appear to have been eager to advance the money. Everything that was graftable has been grafted.

There has been a rake off taken on everything that the government bought for the postoffice department, from ten-story buildings to newspaper wrappers. To every device that has been adopted for the "betterment of the service" there has been attached something in the way of compensation for the recognition, given to Genius by Power. This unexploited world of graft had the very considerable advantage over that nether world dreamed by Flynt that everything in and about it was conducted according to the canons of good form. The men who have been pre-eminent in the working of the postoffice graft belong to that large body of officeholders who are practically lost sight of in the machinery of such an immense institution as the postoffice and who are pointed to by their neighbors as patterns of respectability "doing something in the department." They are of the sleek variety of grafters who hide their criminality under the garb of respectability. Who make church-going a part of their business and consort with the "better element," also for business reasons.

They are a dangerous members of the' upper world of more dangerous than the grafters who bear the impress of criminality and whose faces adorn rogues' galleries. It is going to be much harder to reach them, too, than it would be to reach the common and more daring criminal. But they must be reached. Whatever their position in the bureaucracy, without regard to their seeming- of nicety, they must be got at. The very life of the republic is dependent upon the uncovering of their methods and the exposure of the men.

For it must be presumed that the limits of this world of graft extend beyond the postoffice department Every other administrative department, with the possible exception of the newly organized bureau of commerce, is rotten. Every man who has familiarized himself with practical politics knows that graft is the aim and object at the vast majority of men who pretend to serve the general government and handle public moneys This is very certain: That if the grafters could be shut out, if the public business of the United States could be con- with the economy and watchful honesty that marks the conduct of private business the expenses oj government would be reduced 25 and even possibly ffi per cent. corporation formed by the Republican set must be broken up. It is an infamous institution that is doing more to bring republican government into disrepute than all the mistakes of all the policy makers.

New Phase of the Anti-Catholic Move- ment in France. PARIS. June debate in the chamber of deputies on the government bill, preventing a secular member of any congregation to teach in a commune where he had taught as a member of a congregation before the expiration of three years promises to be exciting. A counter proposal today, simply forbidding former members of congregations to teach, was referred to the educational committee by 462 to 122 votes, and is thus buried. M.

Leroy (Radical Republican) moved a counter proposal, merely requiring schoolmasters and school mistresses to hold certificates of competency, not mentioning the congregational questions. The chamber refused, 273 to 266, to refer this to the educational committee, thereby inflicting a partial check on the government. Premier Combes left the defense of the measure to M. Valle, the minister of justice, who insisted on tit? necessity of arming the government with a new weapon against the congregations because the law was being evaded. Twothirds of the unauthorized schools, he said, continued in operation, and when the police appeared they were told that the members of the Congregations were secularized and a letter from the bishop certifying to the fact shown.

In reality the only difficulty was that the teachers wore ordinary clothing instead of the religious garb. A noisy and disorderly debate followed and lasted until 11:30 o'clock tonight. The majority Anally drowned the voices of all who attempted to speak against the measure, thereupon the entire body of the Right left the hall, but returned in time to take part in the vota, which resulted in the adoption of the bill by 329 votes to 66. The chamber also passed a resolution authorizing the dissolution of such congregations as evaded the law by reopening their closed establishments with a new set of teachers. POPE LEO'S LATEST MESSAGE TO THE FAITHFUL Christian Laws Are Undergoing Deliberate Retrogression, He Says, ROME, June is a summary of the allocution which the pope delivered at the consistory, which was not cabled yesterday: The pontiff said he was obliged again to call attention to the difficult -position of Catholicism and to point out that malicious were spreading in every country, and that Christian laws seem to be undergoing deliberate retrogression through the efforts of men of deplorabte morals.

This state of feeling modified customs and influenced legislation in connection with public institutions. Philosophy, the fine arts and literature were also turned to sacrilegious purposes. The sinfulness of evil-doers could not frustrate the will Almighty, but their arrogance paved the way for I great misfortunes. The pope concluded with an earnest appeal to the faithful to pray to God that his (the pontiffs) work on earth be not diminished, and with the announcement of his intentiori to issue a letter on the subject.

Men, Women and Things Mothers who have looked with pardonable pride upon babies larger and stouter than other persons' babies, will be astonished and pained to learn that the amount of avoirdupois accumulated by their infants is of no account and rather a handicap than otherwise. Mothers with round fat babies please take notice that the London an authority of authorities that it regards a fat baby as a "carbohydrate of sugar-fed infant, with a curiously translucent, almost opalescent appearance of the tissues." This alarming statement is likely to make the hearts of mothers owning, thin, scraggy infants to thump with joy, and is rather a facer for parents of fat babies. All of this has been induced by the giving of prizes at babies' shows, to the fattest children instead of to the lean, lank kind. There is an excelent prospect of the further remarks of the Lancet being resented by mothers of healthy babies: "Pat babies," it says, "are hypertrophic and square-headed," and are types perpetuated by Raphael and others who have evidently fancied that a fine looking baby was the best baby." This opinion will probably result in a training down for children instead of a training up.

The breaking off of diplomatic relations between England and Servia is a hard blow to the incoming administration of the latter, to which another snub may be added if the United States decides to follow suit. The Servian foreign minister cannot understand why the new king should be held in any way responsible for the unpleasant affair which deprived Servia of its rulers. Mr. Jackson, who is American minister to Greece, and to Servia, has decided not to present his papers to Peter at present, and as our commercial relations with the Servians are of the slightest, no trouble would ensue if we should not be represented there at all. The reported promotion of the instigators of the assassination shows that Peter considers the preservation of his head of more importance than the preservation of diplomatic relations.

should say a country of poetry and romance. Mrs. Leslie Carter has reached New York and shelved her historical and hysterical play until next year. The latest news from her is that she has been entertained at dinner by some one at a fashionable restaurant, and the fact that this affair is chronicled the society column shows that Mrs. Carter is getting on.

Knowing Mrs. Carters penchant for throwing things one can but hope that the dishes used at the dinner were of stone china or fastened down in the manner of tableware on transatlantic steamers. Mrs. Russell Sage sounds a note of warning to prospective brides in regard to a separate income which she thinks every man should allow his wife. Mrs.

Sage should be listened to with respect when she discusses this subject as she is undoubtedly giving us expert testimony concerning the sufferings of women who are obliged to ask their husbands for every five cent Piece. Due allowance should be made for the fact that Mrs. Sage is the wife Of Russell, and yet one cannot deny some of her statements. She says it is all very well for a poor man to marry lt; he lives in the country or in the provinces, but by no means should a man even moderately rich marry if he lives in a city. Only the very very rich can afford to marry in New York Here is a use for the Sage money; to endow some worthy young men and enable them to marry and remain in New York.

It is considered in exceedingly poor form for a society woman to allow any time to elapse between the and the announcement of her Preliminaries must be while the divorce is by way obtained, and as soon as the issued the engagement must ibe When a woman is divorced and. remains so it is a sure sign that she not a success and it goes without saying that she is not in society. So that it comes about that marriage does not end the matter of proposals any more and the woman who has not half a dozen husbands" on her list is poorly off indeed. There may appear a slight incongruity to him who is unacquainted with the versatility of royalty, between the congratulations sent to Peter of Servia and the fact that the Russian court has gone into mourning for thirty days in honor of the deaths of Alexander and Draga. But one of the most ancient and time-honored customs of courts is to assume a grief even if they have it not.

It usually takes the form of a black band on the sleeves of the royal servants. The matter of court mourning is said to be bothering the new King of Servia considerably. How long and how deep, are questions he is asking himself. Why has It not occurred to some rich American girl to go in for the king of Spain? American women have occupied almost every position of eminence in England and on the continent, and there is no reason in the word why they should not go higher. The king of Spain is reported to like Americans-, and he is looking about for a wife.

One that could replenish the royal exchequer is almost a necessity, so'that everything seems propitious if only the right kind of girl with the right kind of bank account can be found. The little king has had reason already to respect American arms, therefore if negotiations can be conducted without undue publicity an American queen may be a possibility in the near future, and one who will hold firmly the reins of government. A woman advises women to study their husbands. Much trouble might be avoided by studying them before they become husbands. The only place where it was really warm during the past week was the room in which the county commissioners met.

This is the week in which the faithful horse demonstrates that it is still in the ring. A thief who pleaded guilty to petty larceny admitted that he was born in Minneapolis. Considering the handicap he has done pretty well. It is pitiful to learn that the divine Sarah has reached a time when she has to soak her head. It is to be hoped that the plumbers can be persuaded not to strike until all danger of frozen pipes is past.

Mrs. Nation says that the manner in which women hold up their skirts, revealing the shapely and unshapely ankle, is disgusting. All will agree with her, as to the unshapely ankle at least. If the hypnotists who bury little boys could manager to inter them on the 3rd of July and dig them up on the sth, they would be regarded as public benefactors. There are altogether too many letters written by widowers to the papers, thanking their friends in assisting them in burying their wives.

The weather man is trying to see how funny he can be. Maj. Pond's death resulted from the loss of a leg. That was the irony of fate. St.

Paul, June 23, 1003. Grist of the Political Mill The Minnesota Republican big wigs from Granville Pease and Joel Heatwole to their friends and ardent admirers Robert Jamison and S. Johnson, he of the public examiner's office, have never grappled with more uncertainty than now confronts them in attempting to get a line on the situation within the party. While there is not so much talk about the other places on the state ticket there is quite as much uncertainty about them as there is about the nomination for governor. The party woods are full of gubernatorial aspirants.

To date only two of them, Dunn and Eddy, are real in the sense of landing the nomination. Van Sant is a possibility. Heatwole is another and one stands about as much chance of landing the nomination as the other. Eddy and Dunn, as a matter of course, publicly disavow any active personal interest in the gubernatorial situation a year before the convention. Their disavowals are worth only their face value.

Dunn means to be governor. So does Eddy. Neither is of that stamp of politician that quits before the flag is down. Each is trying through his friends to get in on the ground floor by tying up the other fellow's territory. Each is acquiring recruits who will stick for the big show.

Os Dunn has been the expected candidate for years. He is generally recognized as one of the biggest of the big party men. He is liked and feared. His power was demonstrated by the nomination of Iverson for state auditor, which could not be accomplished without the strenuous efforts of the Princeton man. 8 Eddy has not been visible on gubernatorial horizon for more than half a dozen years, but now that he is out, politicians and press are quick to recognize in him a formidable candidate.

Eddy must make the trial next year or retire to a seat far from the orchestra so far as the game of state politics is concerned. It is only fair to assume that he knows this to be tiue and the work already done in his behalf indicates that he means to make the fight of his life. Van Sant is a possibility rather in the sense of a dark horse than in the sense of a party or popular demand for him to try for the third-term nomination. The third-term idea is not popular, and in the Seventh district, which is the place where Van Sant is strongest, there is no enthusiasm and it is not difficult to believe as Eddy's friends claim, the Glenwood man can bring the district into the convention solid. a Representative Thomas Ofsthun, with his second state fish hatchery appropriation, is in much the state a man encumbered with a hot brick and no place to drop Heatwole is a possibility in the same sense.

Handsome Joel is easily enough king of the Third district, that does not mean that he is close to the people of the state. The rank and file of the party outside of his own bailiwick have yet to learn of the worth and virtues of the Northfield organizer. Last winter he made scores of influential party friends. Some of these men were, prior to the speakership fight, prejudiced against Heatwole, not because they knew him but because they did not know him. Now many of them are his warmest admirers and would support him for anything in the gift of the party.

The nationality racket which has moved many good men to disgust has roused H. C. Miller, editor of the St. Peter Free Press, to an editorial discussion of the question that is replete with common sense and which recalls the position of an eminent Irish-American party manager, who once threatened: "If youse fellers don't watch out, somebody will want to nominate an American, see?" Miller says: "Secretary Schrnahl, of Redwood, ha.s been mentioned as a possible candidate for either secretary of state or state treasurer, and his claim is said to be based, to a considerable extent, upon the supposition that he, as a representative of the German-American element, would stand for more in that respect than the present incumbent, Mr. Block.

The Free Press hasn't much time for the nationality racket, but is of the opinion that if this old habit is to be kept up at all, questions of this nature be left to the parties directly affected and who are more competent to judge in the matter than professional politicians. It is, perhaps, well enough to recognize the various nationalities on the state ticket as a matter of fairness good policy; the notion, however, that a Swede must be secretary of state and a German state treasurer, is ridiculous and should be no longer tolerated. Let every candidate be chosen because of his fitness for the position he seeks. We are a cosmopolitan people and should act accordingly. First of all, let us be Amerians." A.

PARIS, June Dumont made his first appearance today in airship No. 9, over the center of Paris. He started from Longchamps, going in the direction of the palace de l'Etoile, made a tour of the Arc d'Triumph and turning down the Champs Elysee, brought his airship down at the door of his house.

Later he returned to Longchamp. There was little wind. The ship maintained an attitude of about 100 feet and answered her helm perfectly. No. 9 is the smallest airship Santos Dumont has yet constructed.

She measures 8,300 cubic feet, has a three-horse power engine and resembles an elongated egg.

KIEL, June United Statet European squadron, Rear Admiral Cotton in command, reached its anchorage opposite the yacht club house today. The fleet commanded by Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, consisting of eight battleships and six cruisers, saluted the American vessels, and the band of the German flagship played "America." Hundreds of the townspeople gave detached, irregular cheers as the squadron arrived. Prince Henry sent his navigating officers and the captain of the port down the bay early in the morning to meet the Americans.

They met the latter at Orlateau as the squadron was firing its first salute off the fort of Friedrichsort. The flagship Kearsarge swung into her mooring next to the place reserved for the emperor's yacht Hohenzollern, followed by the San Francisco, Chicago and Machias. all $he German ships being dressed in the visitors' honor and flying the Stars and Stripes. The commanders of the American ships then called on Prince Henry, who immediately returned their calls. The Stars and Stripes were also raised over the yacht club and on the hotels in the vicinity.

Admiral Cotton and Rear Admiral Hemphill, commander of the Kearsarge, and all the other American commanders also called on the eight German admirals and vice admirals stationed in this, the greatest stronghold of German sea power, and afterwards received their return calls. Most of the afternoon was spent in calling and receiving calls. Prince Henry simplified the interchange of calls by suggesting that Rear Admiral Cotton, his staff officer. Lieut Hussey, Capt. Hemphill and all the captains of the American squadron should meet him, his staff and all the commanders of the German ships on board his flagship.

Kaiser Friederich 111. Prince Henry then returned the call on Admiral Cotton and talked a half hour with him. The prince examined the outside of the Kearsarge's double turret, but did not go inside, as there were seven German admirals on shore duty who were waiting to visit Admiral Cotton. Prince Henry complimented the American officers on the smart appearance of the squadron. Admiral Cotton and the captains of the American vessels will take lunch with Prince Henry and Princess Henry tomorrow.

The following nobilities arrived today for the regatta: United States Ambassador Charlemagne Tower. United States Consul General Frank Mason, the Prince and Princess of Pless, the Princess of Thurn and Taxis, Baron Louis Rothschild. Achmed Bey and Baron and Baroness Echardstein. Mr. Goelet's thirty-footer, Swan, the only American-owned boat entered in the regatta, has been exercising over the course in the lower bay since her arrival here last Friday.

Her owner is assisted in sailing by Hopkins Smith, who, with Uncle Sam, won the cup given for boats of her class in 1902. Emperor William will arrive tomorrow on the Hohenzollern. HORSE STOLEN FROM STILLWATER FOUND Was Driven Hard and Turned Loose and the Buggy Was Broken. The police were yesterday looking for someone who. on Monday evening, took E.
