If vndmgs Jis The Rhododendron excursion to New port yesterday was about as , disgrace ful an exhibition of drunkeness, rowdy ism and other objectionable features as could possibly be imagined, the preval ence of intoxication, profanity and ob scene language and even more disgust ing sights and sounds on portions of the train being an insult to the respectable people who had taken the trip with the anticipation of having a pleasant out ing. The floors ot some ot tne cars were strewn with whiskey bottles, vulgar, prolane and obscene language was everywhere heard, persons in a state ot beastly intoxication wallowed m their own vomit and it is stated no at tempt was made by the train crew to remedy this condition of affairs. ' Who these offenders were or wha' towns along the line they came from is not so much a matter of concern as the fact that they were a disgrace to them- selves, a nuisance to other passengers and the means of casting a stigma up on the railroad company, for if this sort of thing is to be permitted during the coming season, there will be very few self-respecting people who will care to be subjected to such indignity. Yesterday's experience should not be again allowed to occur. Acme Quality Paints and Floor Var nish that wears at A. L. Miner's. .;-----::---- - 5-17-tf. -1 -: The Wrong Bird. One of the well known magicians not along ago had a' queer experience, but the people in. the theater had more fun out of it than he did. One of his tricks was to shake a sack to show that it was empty and then to draw out of It an egg, after which he would always reach in again and bring out the hen that laid the egg. Of course he had to have help in this, and one night he had a new man who did everything just as he had been told until It came to this net. Reaching Into the bag, he drew forth the fowl at the usual time, but instead of the hen an old rooster hopped down on to the stage, ruffled its feathers and strutted around, crowing with all its might, while the audience laughed and the magician went out to hunt his new helper.

S, PRATT, Jeweler and, Optician All Help Must Now Eat at One Table Instead of Three Roosevelt Lunch eons Discontinued Mrs. Taft Large ly Responsible For the Change. President and Mrs. Taft are going on the principle that if the government is to economize economy ought to begin at home. Therefore the running ex penses of the White-House are being cut down. Since March 4 savings and curtailments have been effected in va rious directions about the executive mansion. Mrs. Taft is responsible in a large measure for the. savings that have been brought about, for one thing when the new administration took possession of the laundresses.. The number has been reduced to three. Formerly there were an engineer, an assistant engineer and a plumber about the establishment. One man is now retained to do any engineering ' work-or plumbing work that is neces-l sary. Under the Roosevelt regime Pink ney, the colored Stewart, was an im portant functionary about the . estab lishment. Now a steward is no longer kept. Pirikney has gone on the govern ment rolls as a messenger. Mrs. Taft has obtained a first class housekeeper, Miss Jefferson. The management of the White House in large measure rests with Miss Jefferson, who attends . to the buying. Mrs.. Roosevelt used to do much of the buying for the estab lishment herself. One of the important reforms wrought about the White House con sists in reducing the number of tables at which the negro servants take their meals from three to one. It used- to be before March 4 that there were three tables for the colored help. One table was for the high caste part of the force of servants. Here Charles Read er, the coachman; Pinkney, the stew ard, and a few of the elite of the serv ants assembled and dined on the fat of the land, having what the White House family had. The second table was reserved for the chef and the mid dle class of servants. The third table was for the laundresses and the scrub women. Now, - it appears, these dis tinctions have been thrust aside, and Miss Jefferson has caused all. the col ored help to eat at the same table. The days of terrapin for some and no terrapin for others have gone. All the servants are treated alike. Doubtless this has caused some - heartburning and dissatisfaction, but if there has been any murmuring" it has been done under cover. The White House is too good a place to work and the wages too good to imperil a job by complain ing about distinctions of caste at the dinner table. ."' ..'..'. .- ."' These and other reforms have been effected. Of course it will hot require so big a bill for supplies fqr the White House table in this administration as it did in the former one. One reason is that luncheon is not made as much of by President Taft as Mr. Roosevelt used to make it. Roosevelt insisted on having a lot of people at lunch. He hated to eat alone, and he liked to take advantage of lunch to extract an infi nite amount of information out of a variegated assortment of people. And the amount of information he got in this way was astonishing. President Taft does not eat luncheon himself save an apple, and so the chief White House functions now are the dinners, which are qui.te up to the best White House standard. -If the various departments and bu reaus go at the economizing business as thoroughly as the White House has it will be possible to make some re ductions in appropriations.

Straus, former secretary of : commerce and labor, who has been ap pointed United States ambassador to Turkey,: was at Constantinople when Aguinaldos torces rose against the United States government iu the Phil ippines and through prompt action pre vented the augmentation of the, insur gent ranks by the large Mohammedan population of the islands. The Mohammedans of the Philip pines recognize the sultan of Turkey as the head of their church. Mr. Straus, who at that time was the American minister to Turkey, knowing this, call ed on the late sultan, Abdul Hamid II., as soon as he heard of the outbreak of the insurrection. "1 come," he said, "to beg your imperial majesty to use your good offices to bring the Moham medans of the south Philippine Islands Mindanao and the Zulu archipelago to our side and to restrain them from joining the insurgents." "But," said the sultan, "won't your country try to take their religion away from these people?" "Certainly not. The cornerstone of the whole system of government in the United States is religious freedom, and. so far from there being any hostility to the Mohammedan religion, the case is exactly the reverse. As an evidence of the recognition of this by Moham medan powers I beg to call your maj esty's attention to the terms of a treaty negotiated more than 100 years ago in the administration of our first presi dent with the bey of Tripoli." Thereupon Mr. Straus produced a copy of this ancient treaty, the very existence of which is probably not known .by a hundred persons in the United States, much less the circum stances leading up to its negotiation. The Barbary powers had always de clined to enter into any treaty- with the European governments because of the fact that under them the church and state were united, and a recog nition of the government would have involved a recognition of the Christian church as an institution. When the envoy of President Washington pro posed the treaty which was afterward agreed to, the government of Tripoli declined to consider it. The envoy thereupon pointed out that, in the new government across the ocean, there was no recognition of any church, and a special article was inserted in the treaty to that effect. On this basis the treaty Was agreed to. As soon as Mr. Straus had finished reading this clause of the understand ing .', between ". President Washington and the bey of Tripoli the sultan de clared himself perfectly satisfied and ready to do -what he could with the Mohammedans in the Philippines. He telegraphed' to one of the Philippine leaders wh( happened to be in Mecca, and as a result, that dignitary left at ouce for tlici scene of trouble. Here he laid the sultan's advice before the other leaders, and the Mohammedans ranged themselves on the side of the United States. Saturday Evening Post.
