Personal Sketches of the Republican Can

Hampshire, Colorada and Delaware.
The grand performance in the big po
litical tent is now on in earnest, and the
several states are adding to the noise by
opening their respective side shows.
Each week a new crop of gubernatorial
aspirants bound into the arena, and the
fun grows fast and furious. Connecti
cut, New Hampshire, Colorado and Del
aware are among the latest to make
nominations.
Lorrin A. Cooke, whom the Connecti
cut Republicans have named for gov-
ernor, is a native
New Englander,
having been
born in New
Marlboro, Mass.,
April 6, 1831.
He settled in
Litchfield coun
ty, Conn., and
was elected to'*
the legislature

strongly Democratic. Later he was
elected to the state senate, and in 1882
was re-elected to the same body. In
1886 he was elected lieutenant governor
on the ticket with Henry B. Harrison,
and in 1894 he was again successful as
a candidate for the same office on the
ticket with Governor Coffin. Mr. Cooke
is a prosperous business man and has
been prominent in church work as well
as politics, having been moderator of
the Congregational national council at
Chicago. He is one of the receivers of
the Continental Life Insurance company
and is connected with prominent manu
facturing firms.

about 57 years old and is a lifelong
resident of the state. For several terms
he represented his district in the state
legislature. During President Cleve
land’s first term he occupied the posi
tion of naval officer of the port of Bos
ton. This is his second gubernatorial
campaign, for in 1894 he was nominat
ed for governor by acclamation, but was
defeated.
Mr. Kent’s opponent is George A.
Ramsdell, whom the Republicans hope
to elect as gov
ernor. Mr. Rams
dell is about 60
ysars old and has
passed most of
his time in his
native state. He

One evening, when returning from
the theater in a cab (sic), having or
dered the coachman to drive to the Sun,
a tavern in Clare market, he threw,
himself out of the coach window and
through the open window of the tavern
parlor just as the driver was about to
draw up. The man then descended from
the box, touched his hat and stood wait
ing for his passenger to alight- Finding
at length there was no one visible, he
besought a few blessings on the scoun
drel who had imposed upon him, re-«
mounted his box and was about to drive
off when Rich, v,.io had been watch
ing, vaulted back into the vehicle, and,
putting his head out, asked, “Where
the devil are you driving to?” Almost
paralyzed with fear, the driver got
oown again, but could not be persuaded
to take his fare, though he was offered
a shilling for himself, exclaiming:
“No, no! That, won’t do. I know you
too well for all your shoes, and so, Mr.
Devil, for once you’re outwitted.”—

SIREN SONGS FOR GOPHERS.
How Florida Land Turtles Are Lured Out
of Their Holes.
W. H. Gilbert, locksmith, astrono
mer, fisherman, scientist, hunter and
capitalist, is a great fancier of gopher
meat, and has thought of many ways of
catching the game.
Some time ago he learned that there
was a family living in the northwestern
part of the county which boasted of
young men who could “sing” gophers
out of their holes. He traveled many
miles to ascertain if the report was
really true.
The young men were reluctant at first
to give an exhibition that might reveal
their secret, but Mr. Gilbert had a
number of pursuasivesalong and finally
they consented.
The young men equipped themselves
with a gunny sack and a pointed stick
about five feet long. A half mile from
the house, in the wire grass of the roll
ing pine land, they found the hole of a
gopher. They covered the entrance of
his tunnel with a sack and planted the
stick over the tunnel. Then all of the
men Jay down about 20 feet away and
one of them sang.
In a half hour the sack was seen to
move slightly, whereupon one of the
young men jumped up quickly and ran
to the stick, which he pressed deep into
the ground, cutting off the gopher’s re
treat. The other reached his hand into
the hole and brought out a big gopher,
which was made into a delicious stew
for their dinner. Mr. Gilbert, discours
ing on the incident, says:
“I have since learned that the Mexi
cans, who are very fond of gophers,
pursue this method, except that they do
not sing. The singing is entirely super
fluous. Curiosity is what kills the go
pher, as it has killed the historic cat.
The animal evidently is curious to learn
what it is that has darkened the thresh
old of his abode and comes forth to
see. The stick does the rest. I have
tried the same plan myself and very
successfully. ” —Florida Times-Union.
FORESTALLING THIEVES.
Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every
thing He Invents.
As Thomas A. Edison watched the
pumping of the air from a glass tube in
his laboratory a day or two ago, a man
said to him:
“You patent every little thing you
discover, don’t you, Mr. Edison?”
“I do,” said Mr. Edison, “and do
you know why I do it?”
“I suppose you do it so you will reap
the benefit of your discovery, ’ ’ was the
reply.
"I thought you’d say that,” said Mr.
Edison, "and I don’t suppose you will
believe me when I tell you it isn’t so.
Nevertheless, I discover a great many
things that I would be glad to give to
the public for nothing, but I don’t dare.
I patent these things to save myself
from defending lawsuits. There are a
lot of sharks in this world who are con
tinually on the lookout for new things,
and when one of them hears of some
thing new he hustles to the patent office
to see if it is patented. If it isn’t, he
claims it as an original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like as not, begin a suit
with the man who invented the thing
for making or using it. The inventor
will say: ‘But I discovered this thing
first. I am the inventor. ’ He is referred
to the patent office, where he finds the
official claim of original invention. The
fact that the papers are filed long after
he made his discovery does not help
him, for all the other man does is to hire
a fellow to swear that he made the dis
covery a month or two prior to the date
the inventor claims. It sounds ridicu
lous, probably, but it is a fact that there
are often races between the inventors
and the sharks to reach the patent
office, the sharks having had early in
formation about the inventor’s discov
ery. There are many such races and
thousands of dollars depend on each
one. What I say is literally true. ”

The people of Rome will see “Eight

The steamboat is there also and the

hearty entertainment. The mechan

entertainment is refreshing and in

This is a show on the order of “The
