Taft of the Cabinet and Presi dent-elect the Same. By JAMES CALLAWAY. When a few negro bishops and negro preachers called upon Mr. ltryan during the recent rumprtlgn to know bis views us to negro recognition, numbers of southern people went Into hysteria, and declared for Taft. Of course, it was a bluff gnmc on the part of negro polti- ciung to force the republicans to come across. They came across. Tho negroes worked their game well. This was Illustrated in the recent ad dress of Judge Taft before the North Carolina Society, of New York. Judge Taft exhibited great Impatience about n '’Solid South." but luid no criticisms for n solid north, knowing, too. there were eighteen states north of Mason and Dix on's line without a single democratic rep resentative in congress, knowing that such states as Iowa and Minnesota had only one democrat In congress, and tlrnt Pennsylvania, with thirty-four congress men. hud only five democrats. Judge Taft was not deceptive. TIo boldly declared to his lieurers that the fifteenth amendment would never be re pealed. nnd that the northern remedy was to "educate" the negro up to the demands of cltlxcnahlp; and that the south. If she would be a part of the union, must accept the will of the na tion as regards the civil and political rights of the negro. Judge Taft. In a polite way. gave emphasis to the negro plunk of the recent republican national convention nnd guve us to understand that plank was of living force. It is the same old story. When Thad Stevens Introduced his bill In congress to divide the south into live ■ military districts and to turn each south ern state over to army officers, carpet baggers nnd former slaves. Mr. Garfield ed the pussnge of the bill, nnd in his onet nt the breast of every rebel.” Judge Taft's proposition- Is still the ballot; hut.

In his July spc< 11)06 he declared: "Two partb* f«*d- of tl»e nation." to accept the negro view of the Republican party—for their Ideus to lie our ideas, their mongrel civilisation to lie our civilization. The bavond Is still at our breast! The gun la not lond- «*cl with powder and lead, as In 1868, but with shot that kills ail the.same. Now. It Is the artillery of a solid north, belch ing forth acceptance of the amendments as Interpreted by the' Republican puny, declaring the south must not remain solid, as solidarity Is a northern preroga tive. The utterances of Judge Taft, ns to om* coining under the rod and accepting uorthern views, dispel nil doubt as to bis atiitude. Taft clubs know now Ills views. Be has the Ohio and Masoarhu- petts idea that "the negro is only a white man In disguise," and that "edu cation" will change the guise, and re lieve the leopard of hls spots. It was given out by republicans and as sistant republicans during tho campaign time Judge Taft was ahead of Ids party, better tlisn Ids party, nnd was In sym pathy with our efforts to protect southern civilisation and defend It against politi cal mongrrllzntlon'and .degradation.

In hls July speech or I'.HHJ Judge Taft pointed with pride to tlin border states becoming republican, citing Missouri.

A Remarkable (Continued from Pago One.) Mrs. Springer's husband Is ft very rich man. He is rated at between 33,000,000 nnd 35,000,000. Ho maintains a large office, with a force of clerks, to do nothing further than look after h's skyscraper holdings. Ho la very fond of hls strenuous wife, though ho Is hlinself a quiet gentleman who is seldom seen In public, und has no stronger Inclination thun that which leads him to be content with hls slip pered feet over a comfortable roglst** und a book which Is not too thrilling in ills hand, until eariy bedtime. Hls wife hud lorg been known society before shu became active out. of society. And It may ns well bo stated hero and now thut *hc in out of the society which her wealth would naturally entitle her to. She has re nounced social intercourse. Hhe lost finally in a tremendous buttle with the exclusive Daughters of the Revolution, end when she lost sh" quit her old associates and began to devote herself to strange and odd things, where she could find Interests upon which she could possibly encroach nnd she could walk in paths where she could not pos slbly meet her old friends. It was a bitter defeat. Mrs. Hpringer applied for admittance to the Daugh ters, and. after a deep Inquiry iftto her ancestry she was blackballed as not entitled to membership. Mrs. Springer then made the fight o her life. Hho gave out public state THE DR. WAS IN A CYCLONE I mipp.. _ ■ _ _ rs that ,we had - cyclone on the 24th of May. It swept our little town about off the earth. Thank Providence, my family and aelf came out alive, hut my drug store was swept to the winds. We are picking up slowly. I found four hottlen <4 Fulton’s Renal Compound unbroken and gave them to lady whom the other physicians life] gtveL up (kidney disease). Hhe came to m« ns soon ns she heard I had returned lo tny practice again, and I put her on the Renal Compound from your nearest ship kidney trouble expect to get well on tho old futile kidney totem* when the census deaths *how that ninety-two out of every the date that Fulton worked out hie Re nal Compound? numler one every nine minute*.

J. lamer 4 rt»„ eot* local agent* inents in which she rebuked the wo men who'had rebuuffed her. and she announced also that to her last day sho would fight the organization and at tempt to destroy 1t. In furtherance of this plan she or ganized a rival body, undertaking the monumental feat of forming a national association of revolutioinry dames that would do battle with the esiab- l'shed one which had the prestige of a century of social strlumphs behind it. She progressed merrily. She built up a big Illinois chapter of what she called the Daughters of the Revolution (leaving off the "American") and shu was elected state regent. At open meetings she voiced In no gentle measures the opinion of the older body nnd then With one awful blow the original Daughters put her new association out of business and exposed Mrs. Hpringer to the unkindly, smiling world. The president of the Chicago chap ter calmly gave out half a page of typewritten matter setting out why the Daughters had refused to take Mrs. Hpringer Into their fold. And the reason was that Instead of being the daughter of a descendant of *76 she was the daughter of a milliner on West Madison street named Ftannlgan and had worked industriously witli the needle in her mother's obscure estab lishment until wealthy Warren Hpringer fell enamored of her, mar ried her and raised her to n position of social eminence which she occupied "Tac*‘fully because she was by nature social leader, not a milliner. Her Back on Society. Tfcat Is when and why Mrs. Hpringer turned her pretty back upon soclty nnd swort that never again would she tread the threshold of the rich and the elect. Here is nn active mind and aim Is an active woman. Social cares and duties removed, she had to find something equally engrossing to take her time, nnd she found nn endless variety of strange tilings to do which have brought her no end of publicity in the light of her form er soclul position, her wealth und the events which led to tier turning over n new page. First of all she set out to take her Inst revenge. The womnn who gave out that half- page of statement which ruined Mrs. Springer In society wns Mrs. Julius G. Coleman. Mrs. Coleman's revolutionary ancestry was unquestioned. She wns it wonmn without wealth, hut site had risen In the ranks of the Duugliters until sho was a regent. Doing Dstectlvt Work. 1'pon this woman Mrs. Springer elect ed to vent her wounded feelings, and alio found Mrs. Colcmuti vulnerable. She rluimed tlrnt many yenrs ago— sonic twenty years or more—Mrs. Cola- man’s liuslMiid. wlm lo now. nnd was at tho lima of the event about to bn rela ted, a practicing attorney In Chicago, had commited a youthful error which mused him to lie Imprisoned In a jail at Evansville, from which he had escaped In n bout across the Ohio river us guards from the Jail walls fired upon film. This wus too good to leave to hired subordinates. Mrs. Springer derided to go herself nnd ascertain the facts;. And to accomplish this entl she dis guised linrself as a man and went to Evansville and looked op the old records. With triumph blazing In her eyes she returned to Chicago and placed the mat ter in the hands of her IiiihIit.lid’s at torney. who ut once took n step which brought the whole scandal rattling nhout the ears of Mrs. Coleman and h< r hus band. He went Imfore the* supreme court of the state and demanded tltal Coleman bo disbarred. Humblss Her Enemy. It mutters lltllo that the supreme court. In a remarkable decision, refused to di.shur Coleman and found tliat follies of youth shall not pursue like I lit nquo’s ghost to the very grave of llcdr victim.” Tlte purpose whs fulfilled. Mrs. Hpringer bad humbled her enemy enemy Imd hiuoMcl her. Tlu-n Mrs. Hpringer. gracefully stalling to the re|H*riers. admit ted the whole thing, said she didn’t cure how much it shocked her old friends In the dainty walks of society nnd said she was through nnd would now devote herself to the serious tilings of life. To ts-gln with, she entered the fresh man class of h medical college und began the study of medicine. And she applied herself so that within a few months, after only three years' study, she will Ktadua.e us s full M. I). and will get a license and take up a branch of prartlco to which she has long set her eye. She proposes to start a hospital where tlte poor nnd the needy—-no mattni whether thev are children of milliners o; wildh*r their ancestry runs lisrk b Gen. Putnam— shnll he given kindness nnd solicitous and expert medical aid. In the meantime she gathered nltoiit Iter a number of tpen of similar bleat and mission*. Almost every wonmn phy sh Ian In Chicago is her friend, as an the writers and the lecturers and many Work Among Poor Girls. Hite dls'-ovcrcd thut unfortunate women from the poorer c-Ussc* of society ar* swindled and wrong'd. And she formed an nrgi!iilx.!tioti to take euro ol troubled girls. It has a nursery dormitories and real room* and all are treated alike—with courtesy and u wo man's sympathy. Then she bought a magazine which was Ming conducted by a struggling young woman who had noma ideas. Imt no money. Hits put it on a paying basis, writing for It HeroHf. which attracted a largo circulation from the persons who were lnirr*Nt«d In her, e|th«r through serious nr frivolous traits, and then she K ive the tiling to tlia poor girt and mads r rich. In politics Mrs. Hpringer found s prs* SJS of enemies ail the grafters and predatory legislators and executives, and it is safe to conjecture thut her name will he found signed to the myriad resolutions ami articles of protest which pour out of the mratlngs of tlte reform ers into the newspaper offices. Eccentric In Drsss. In her dress Mrs. Springer Is as eccen tric aa she Is In everything else. She la always gowned magnificently. nut she abjures tho popular fashions. If society decrees tight sleeves, she wears loose and flowing opes; If society says the cloak shall lie short, she wears It long. IJut her clothes cost as much ns any body's, and tho combination of costly quality and o»ld design _ nmrk^Jiei^thn cynosure of curious eyes ns she steps In nnd out of her dashing currlngu on Rush street. Every now nnd then Mrs. Hpringer In vite* a few of tier select friends to u Bo hemian evening In her library. It Is a wonderful library, and she la tt wonderful woman, and a wonderful gathering It is. All kinds und-conditions of m«n nnd wo men. from newspaper reporters to nn- urchlst chiefs and from women medics In staid, mannish clothes, to pretty set tlement workers In fashloiiuhlo shirt waists assemble there. And Mrs. Sprin ger Is queen ns well as hostess. She curls herself upon a weird old davenport In her library, which prnbuhly would have a butter chanee to establish a his torical past than Mrs. Springer luid. and she listens nnd entertains. She wears hi range. Imported klmonnn from tho Oriont. the uubdund electric lights shine ami reflect strange pictures In her silvery hair and she looks for all the world llko n charming princess of some forgotten land of Arabian Nights. And when the guests get out of tills entrancing place of romance and mystery and weird Interest Into the prosaic streets of Chicago again the transformation la jarring nnd unpleasant nnd unwelcome.
