GRIDIRON GIVES ITS SILVER DINNER: NOTABLES PRESENT Continued from page 1 another of Whip Dwight was the brutal overseer ''Legree*' and various promi nent insurgents figured as “Uncle Tom.” and his fellow slaves, and "Little Eva.” They were roughly treated, told that they had been deprived of all patronage, and their appeals to the speaker to "resign” were met by demands for their return to the Republican caucus. Finally put upon the block at auction In a dubious market, the Democrats and Republicans alike holding off from the bidding, the sale was stopped by orders from the White House in the shape of an emancipation procla mation, in order to secure party har mony. If the insurgents were grilled, the trusts were fairly roasted in another skit portraying the "Infant Industries”—the lumber, whisky, beef, coal and tobacco trusts—seeking protection from a number of ugly-looking customers identified as “The Uutimate Consumers.” Tills was a verse from one of the chants of the trust magnates, to the air of a popular song: "Oh. the ultimate consumer always has to come to us. Cause he hasn't any other place to go. He will rise In indignation; he will make an awful fuss, ’Cause he hasn’t any other place to go. Why are all our guests assembled here tonight In glad array? Why do congressmen keep coming to our city, day by day? THE WAY OF ROOSEVELT. Why did Roosevelt grab a gun and beat it clear to Africay? ’Cause he hadn’t any other place to go.” The new order of things in the state department was dissolved in a skit illus trative of a gathering of Secretary Knox and his faithful assistants and bureau chiefs of reecnt creation. There was an Ujider secretary and a "secretary or near-sighted affairs” and one of "far sighted affairs” and there was a wouder fu’ exhibition of “shirt sleeve diplomacy." resulting in the sunfmary settlement of the Nicaraguan question and the Chinese railroad imbroglio and other matters that have engaged the attention of the di plomatic branch of the government for the past few months.

Feb. 7.—Capitalists from Georgia, Florida and South Caro lina have formed a corporation to develop tlie water power of the Flint River near Warwick, in Worth county. The pro moters of the enterprise were in the city yesterday, and among them was Dr. D. J. Zeigler, of Columbia, S. C., who is president of the company, and they visit ed the site of the proposed power plant. This company proposes to construct a dam across the Flint river about 30 feet high. The material to be used is concrete. After the dam is completed the company will install a mammoth power plant for the purpose of furnishing electricity to the cities of Cordele, Americus, Fitzger ald. Oglethorpe. Montezuma. Vienna and other places. The cables used to convey the electricity from the plant to the var ious places where It will be used will cost about SI,OOO per pile. The distance from Coiafele to the site of the plant is ten miles, to Americus about 30 miles, to Oglethorpe and Montezuma about 35 miles, to Ocilla about 45 miles, to Fitz gerald about 45 miles and to Vienna about 20 miles. Tt is understood that the company will take over the power plants that already furnish the various cities with electricity, and it is the further purpose of the com pany to furnish inanuufacturing plants in these various cities with power. This proposed new enterprise for South Georgia is already under way. The sur veys have been made, diagrams drawn and further plans perfected for 4 the ac tual beginning of tho work of construct ing the big dam.

J. F. Callbreath, Jr., secretary of the American Mining con, gress, declared here today that an in vestigation of the causes of these disas ters by the federal government was ur gent. "It is the states’ task to inspect the mines and issue regulations that -ought to be enforced,” said Mr. Callbreath." "But it is surely within the function of the government to conduct the scientific research Into mysterious explosions that are hurling so many men into eterni ty.” The bill Mr. Callbreath desired to see enacted into law has already passed the house. It has the indorsement of the United Mine Workers, the mine opera tors, leading science societies, state mine Inspectors and state geologists. GOV. HUGHES REPEATS HE ISN’T A CANDIDATE NEW YORK. Feb. 7.—Governor Hughes reiterates his determination not to accept a renomination in a letter made public here today. “I have already publicly stated that 1 cannot, under* any circumstances, accept a renomlantion.” writes the governor, "and I suppose that is understood by tho people of the state. Certainly it shoul i be and I do not see how T could have been more explicit than in my statement to the newwspapers. “Os course those who have been so strong in my support should realize that there is not the slightest doubt about the matter, and I mean exactly what I have said.” EVANS~IS INDIGNANT OVER HIS ARREST Spartanburg Man Declares He Is Victimized and Will Fight_ J. E. Evans, who was arrested In At lanta Saturday upon the request of the chief of police of Spartanburg, S. C., on a charge of breach of trust, brought by J. W. Allen, of Spartanburg, will con test any attempt to have him extradited intra South Carolina, on the ground that there is absolutely no criminal liability i Involved in the case and that the trouble is all over a simple business debt, which he has pot yet paid because there was a disagreement as to the exact amount. Mr. Evans has employed Walter Sims to represent him, and declares that he is ready to put the total amount ot the alleged bill In the hands of a third party, as security, and then let the prosecutor sue him in civil court for the sum and will gladly pay the money if a judgment is given against him. He deplores the fact, hoxvever, that any question of crim inal liability has been injected into the case, and declares that in Justice to him self he will be compelled to resist any at tempt to have him taken back into South Carolina under the authority of requisi tion papers.

Feb. 7.—The American workingman has come in for a stir ring indictment at the hands of Rev. Alexander Irvine, of this city. Preach ing last night t! the wealthy congrega tion of the Church of the Ascension on Fifth avenue, the Rev. Dr. Irvine said: ‘ “The American workingman is a com posite of superstition. stupidity and cowardice. He refuses to see his plight and refuses to •ven try to help him self. He is even more of a dullard than his English brother, who lias be gun to realize the oppression and sub servience under which the domination of the house of lords has placed him. "There is a house of lords in this country—more dangerous and more sub tle than the English institution. It is composed of those who live on that which they have not earned and who pride themselves upon the fact that they do not and cannot work. "In rare moments of lucidity the American workingman realizes that the wealthy leisure class is living by his toil, like a perasite sucking his blood. Yet once in four years, when it is in his power to ledge effective protest, he casts his vote unthinkingly for the fat, jolly, smiling, patronizing politician who is long on promises but who is fully short on performance.” PLACES GUN IN MOUTH.

Feb. 7.—The visit to Rome of Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice presi dent of the United States, brought about a very delicate situation, owing to the fact that he wished to pay his respects to jthe king, the pope and the American • Methodist church. Incidents of this kind ! are not infrequent, and extreme care has I to be exercised by those upon whom ! the arrangement of the audiences falls, •in order to avoid offending the suscep tibilities on either side. By a tactful arrangement, Mr. Fair banks' audience with King Victor Em manuel was fixed for Saturday, and that with the pope for Monday, and when ev . everything seemed satisfactorily planned, ■the Vatican sudenly announced that it I would be impossible for his holiness to i receive the former vice president if he j carried out his announced intention to 1 speak in the American Methodist church I here, because the Methodists had been ; active in proselyting among the Cath olics. ; Negotiations were immediately begun (with a view to avoiding any unpleasant ■ ness, and a situation which might give | rise to misconceptions, and on these ne- I gotiatfons prominent Vatican officials ex erted every influence to remove the diffi culties which had so unexpectedly pre sented themselves to Mr. Fairbanks’ au dience with the pope. But Mr. Fairbanks finally declared that, although he was an imated by a strong desire to pay his re spects to the head of the Catholic church, whose followers had played such an im portant part as good American citizens, he would not withdraw from his promise to deliver an address before the Ameri« can Methodist church. Although owing to the want of time. Mrs. Fairbanks has not been presented to the queen, an exception has been made in her favor through the special desire of the sovereigns to show courtesy, and she has been invited, together with her husband, to the court ball this even ing.

Postmaster General Hitchcock being one of the star partners of the Crowninshield dinner dance in honor of Miss Ethel Roosevelt, and Secretary Dickinson, Sec retary MacVeagh and Secretary Ballin ger were all dancing to the strains of Oriental music at the Turkish ’charges ball. Only two weeks before Secretary of the Navy Meyer gave an exhibition of waltzing on ice skates while General Bell, chief of staff of the army, remains “the very best waltzer in Washington.” So the password has become “Can you waltz?” Since the southern relief ball, when the president danced with Mrs. Pierce Horn, he has been dancing at every op portunity. At the congressional reception at the white house, when most of the guests were gone, the president danced with Miss Mabel Boardman, and last night at the Depew reception to the state editors the president looked happy when he heard the "Merry Widow” waltz, and the guests from up New York state ■ were soon edified by the sight of the chief magistrate dancing merrily with Miss Paulding, the niece of Senator De pew. The reception quickly turned Into a dance under the happy influence of the president, and soon everybody that could, was dancing. President Taft enjoyed it so much that after remaining a wall flower while he got his breath again, he took a second turn at the sport and danced another waltz with Miss McAr thur, the daugter of one of the visiting editors. Already clever musicians are writing the “President Taft Waltz,” which stands a fair chance of not only being named for the president, but also being danced by him.
