The indications for Georgia to-day are for showers, followed by fair weather, with fresh southeast, shifting to north westerly winds; and for Eastern Florida, showers, with fresh southerly, shifting to westerly winds. Mr. John F. Maloney of Lynn, Mass., gets his name into the papers for one day. He has been nominated for Presi dent of the United States by the Social ist-Labor party. Delegates to the Republican National Convention from Porto Rico have not yet been announced; but should the island be represented af Philadelphia, it Is lik *- ly that the delegates would be Hon. John Doe of Ohio and Hon. Richard Roe of Indiana. A Pennsylvania court the other day re turned a verdict, awarding damages in the sum of $2,000, against Bank Teller Lnkemlller of York, for breach of promise of marriage; and this after the teller had sworn that the woman did all of the courting. The next time, probably, Lake iniller will do the* courting himself, and be quite sure that he means It. Gen. Miles has got his heart’s wish. He is now lieutenant general of the army, by act of Congress. The new army bill pro vides for the promotion. At the same time Gen. Corbin is raised to a major generalship. Gen. Miles will retire In 190S, at which time Gen. Corbin will be next In rank, as Gen. Otis and Gen. ltrcoke will be retired In 1902. Asa rcM eetate holder and house own er, our Uncle Sam is quite an imj>ortunt personage. Leaving out of the considera tion the public buildings at Washington, and those elsewhere employed by the army and navy, the sum of $154,775,384 has been expended for public buildings and grounds since the foundation of the gov ernment; and it will be necessary to ex pend $21,000,000 more upon these buildings belorc ah of them are completed. It was announced some time ago that Senator Hanna would issue invitations to attend the Republican National Conven tion to all of the surviving delegates who attended the Republican National Con vention !n Philadelphia in 1856. The state ment is now made that upon investiga tion tin* Senutor finds that the majority of such survivors are now Democrats, therefore the Invitations will not be ex tended. There are six survivors in Ohio, and three of them are strong, outspoken Democrats. Gen. Wheeler is not to be given an as signment to active duty in the regular army. He will reach the statutory age of retirement on Sept. 10 next, at which time he would go on the retired list. The probabilities arc, however, that he will ask for retirement at an earlier day, and kthai the vacancy that will be created will "I* filled by the promotion of Gen. Davis, Gen. Wheaton, Geh, Chaffee or Gen. gchwan. Gen. Wheeler has earned his re tirement, and there will be none to grudge his having it. The pork sphynxes are not particularly beautiful In coate of red.

HILL FOR VICE PRESIDENT. It is not strange that Fading Democrats should be thinking of former Senator Da vid B. Hi!l as a suitable candidate for Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Btyan. Senator Clay is of the opinion, ap parently,! hat no better.sSection could I)' 1 made, fie points out that Mr. Hill is not only one of the ablest statesmen of the country, but that ar this time he occu pies a dominating Influence in th r * great state cf New r York. The Journal is the leading Bryan pip r in New York. Its editor and proprietor, Mr. Hearst, has been mentioned for second place on the Democratic tick t. It is evident, howev< r. that he could not poll nearly so largo a vo e in New York as Mr. Hill. There is nothing aga nst Mr Hearst, so far as known in this sVtion cf the country. He lacks the experlen* e in l>oliticß, however, that Mr. Hill has. It is true that it has been urged against him that he is one of tin* plutocrats. A Repub lican paper, however, kindly defends him against that charge it declares that if he is a plutocrat, he is not cne of the kind that hoards ivealth. He is not an accumulator of wealth. He is a distribu tor of It. It is probable, if all accoun s are true, that he has distributed a very considerable part of Hie vast fortune left by his father. There is not much probability that Mr. Hearst will get the vice presidential notn ir.aticn, but what h s paper says is well c-Hulated to convince Dcm >< rats that it rouli not do a wis r thing than to nomi nate Mr. Hill. That paper, In commenting on the Oregon e> t on, says that the Democracy caunot safely fount on any e'cctoiaj vo es from the Pacific coast. Mr Bryan got five electoral votes in that sec tion In 18%. There is very little* prospect of his getting any this year. The Pacific coast states favor expansion. They have had some of the trade with the Philip pines, and they are lo king for more of it. The Democrat!? party need not look lor assistance in that quart r. The Journal p ints out where the elec toral votes necessary to elect the Demo#- cratic ticket can be had. but in each in stance it includes the thirty-six of New York. It practi ally admits that a Demo cratic victory in New York is necessary to Democratic success. On thi? point it says: “Let the Democrats carry New York and they will pick up electoral vote* enough elsewhere in the East to make them safe, no matter how many they lose In the far West. Let them lose New York, and, as the Oregon election shows, they are gone ” This Is tiie situation as seen by a man prominently mentioned for the second place on the ticket with Mr. Bryan. There are reasons for thinking that the situa- ! tion is quite accurately sated. Assuming that it is. does it not appear that no | effort should be spared to carry New York? Jt may be that Mr. Hill would not be willing to accept the nomination for Vice President. Senator Cay says he thinks he woul 1 accept P. He is n long wdy tHe ablest man ihat has yet been mentioned in connection with the place, and he could carry New York for the Democratic ticket if any man could. Sters should be taken at once to find out i if he wou’d accept the nomination. If he is willing th re ought to be a movement 1 started at once to bring about his nomi nation unanimously. Bryan and Hill would be a strong ticket. A TALE TOM) IN t'Ol HT. One of the remarkable cases that has come to the surface In the bankruptcy court In New York Is that of Arnold Fieklsteln. It has not been so very long since he was thought to be one of the rich men of that city. He was the head of great silk importing house, and had a splendid residence in New York and a summer home at Tuxedo. He lived ns became a man of fortune—that is. he lived liberally. He was a great club man, fre quented all of the first-class restaurants on Broadway, and was always seen at the theater on first nights. Recently he filed a petition In bankrupt cy. This petition showed hln assets to be about ,$195,000, and his debts a little more than $973,000. It was at once evident to his creditors that they would not get a very big percentage of their claims, and so they hunted around to find out what hod become of Mr. Fieldsteln’s money. It did not take them long to discover that be had become Infatuated with the gome of roulette. Apparently hundreds of thousands of dollars had been squand ered in establishments in which that game was the leading feature. Then the creditors decided to get back from the gamblers some of the money that Mr. Fieldstcln had left with them. They brought suits for large amounts, hosting their suits on checks which *Mr. Fleldoteln had given for his gambling debts. The law permits suits to be brought for three times the amount lost In a gambling place. It seems to be the understanding that Mr. Fieldstcln had not been gambling more than a year. It is not often that so largo a fortune is squandered on games of chance in so short a time. It is doubt ful if the bankruptcy court will disclose another case like this of Mr. F’le’.dstein’a, though some queer things come to light in that tribunal. THIXO9 LEFT I M>o\E. The attitude of Congress In respect to two things, nmong others., during its re cent session, is likely to cause the Repub lican party trouble. It refused to pass th * anti-trust bill and it did not fix approxi mately the time for bringing to an ard our military occupation of Cuba. The null-trust bill was passed 1 by the Hois and sent to ihe Senate. The latter ’ o'y referred it to the Judiciary Commit o. and there it will rest until afier ih* presi dential campaign. Senator Bcon w m right in saying that Congress ought n t to adjourn until that bill had b en pus.-ei. The Democratic members of the Hens* demanded that adjournment should iot lake place until the antl-tiust in had been acted upon, but the Republicans only laughed at them. It is doubtful if he Re publicans, when they introduced h. had any intention of passing it befoie the pres idential election. They simply want and to get credit for favoring anti-trust legisla tion. The Cubans are getting very une (s.v re specting the continued occupatl n if the! Island by our military forces, without at y understanding as to when the n < up it on shall cease. The idea is getting into their minds that there is a purpose In t 1* country to retain possession of the island. If that idea becomes wldepr ad there will. In all probability, be troub e In Cuba, and the Republican party will be to hi me for It, as ihat party controls Cos. gr ss A congressional resolution, that Cuba would be turned over to its people within one year, or two years, would have svuts fied conservative Cubans and disarmel those -disposed to make trouble. if treble comes, because of th fallute of THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1909. | Congress to satisfy Cubans as to %'hea they shall have control of their affairs, the country will hold the R puLli an party responsible for it. PRESIDENT KlUlHrit OBSTINATE. According to the interview with Presi j dent Kruger, published in our dispatcher | yesterday, the Boers have no intention of surrendering as long as 4 hey can keep ".no armed men in the field. In other ; words, it seems to be their purpose to | inaugurate a guerilla warfare. They could not do a. more unwise thing. It is probable that if the actual situa- ' ion were placed before the people of the ; Transvaal, and the question put to them I as to whether or not they were willing to I surrender, leaving it to the British gov i ernmeht to fix the terms, the great ma ; jority would answer in the affirmative. ! The impression gained from the dis ! patches is that they regard their cause as hopelessly lost. Their generals have not been able to get them *o make .a stand against the British recently, not be cause they lacked courage, but simply because they saw that nothing was to beg; ined by further resistance. No doubt thousands of them will follow their officers to (he Lydenburg district, and will obey orders as long as the Transvaal government keeps up a show of opposi tion, but they will not do so with the same spirit that stirred them to action at the beginning of the war. There would be some reason in keep- ; trig up a hopeless fight if it were b -Hove l [ that British rule would be unjust* and harsh. There is nothing, however, to jus- 1 tif • siyßi a belief. Mr. Chamberlain sold some time ago, that in the event of Brit ish success, the people of the Transvaal | and tht Orange Free State would be ac corded the s*me degree of liberty that the. Canadians and Australians hod. They could hardly expect more .under the cir cumstances. They would feel deeply, of course, their les- of independence, but ! the great majority would scarcely realize j that a change had taken place. The j Boers would have control of all local af fairs, jus* as they do now. The newspapers of Canada have been giving a great deal of attention to this matter recently. The Toronto Globe, for instance, after discussing the opportuni ties the South African communities have j for advancement, expresses the hope that “the fruits of (hi? war in South Africa, j now happily almost closed, may be peace , and security; that some of us may live to soi* there a confederation as free, as unit- I e.i and as prosperous as our own. and that, by wise and liberal dealing, the ; race problem may there be as happily Strived as it has been in a country where in n French-Canadian has risen to the highest position in the gift of the people.” It is safe lo say that if the Boers were to surrender unconditionally they would ] have very little cause to complain of the treatment they received. There has been nothing in (he South African dispatches indicating (hat the British soldiers enter tain a feeling of bitterness against the Boers. In fact, if the British government were to impose harsh terms on the Boers it would be condemned by the entire civil ized world. FOREIGN l)KM\\l> FOll STEEL I*llo - It is rather remarkable that, prices for steel products should decline so much, while the foreign demand for these prod ucts is so great. It was stated by a steel expert in Wall street a day or two ago, that the foreign demand for teel rails would be sufficient to keep the great steel companies busy for ten years. It is a fact that the whole world Is com ing to this country for iron and steel products. It is not improbable that the drop in prices was largely due to a pur pose *o capture great contracts for steel and iron products about to be given out In Europe, The London Statist says that the decline in the price* of steel in this country, is viewed in Europe with gen uine alarm, because it is recognized that at *he lower prices steel and iron con be produced by the American mills at a profit. That paper, in commenting upon the ability of American iron and steel makers, to cut price* without getting below' the profit line, said: “Over and above oil. the shadow of America is tow ering over lhe market.” Russia is now r preparing to negotiate a loan of $50,000,000 in this country, every cent of which she expe ls to spend here for steel roils, steel ears, locomotives and other things necessary for the equipment of a railroad. The chief engineer of the Trans-Siberian Railway Is now' in New York city, for the purpose of purchasing electrical and steel supplies for that road, and it is stated that the British govern ment will soon let contracts for an im mense amount of steel product* of one kind and another for a great railroad in South Africa, that has been decided upon. It in well known that the steel makers 1 of Alabama and Tennessee set the prices for steel. They can make it nt less co-u * than it can be made elsew’here In the world. It will not be in the least surpris ing if. within five years, more iron and steel are made at Birmingham than at any other one place in the country. There Is going to be development In Alabama | iron mines and steel mills that will as i tonish the world. Writers of obituary notices of Stephen U’.nne seem generally agreed that he con tained a spark of that rare thing called genius, which bid fair to burn Into a bright flame had he been spared yet a few years. He died while Just fairly across the threshold of manhood, when hi? powers should have been approaching maturity. Ills fame, however, will In all probability rest upon h!s first work that attracted wide attention, the "Red Badge of Courage.” unless, perchance, he left some powerful manuscript wh'ch has not yet got into the hands of the publishers. Crane and Aubrey Beardsley might be called the twin geniuses of end-ofrihe century literature and art. They left the beaten pnth£. and by the l>oldness of their eccentricity, compelled the attention of the public, and both Crane and Beardsley died when they had barely left the yens of youth. We salute ihe Maris, the fastest yacht in the South Atlantic section! She Is a daisy, a crack-a-Jock. a thoroughbred, ami whatever else indicates speed and good qualities. Our worthy Dragoon made a gallant chase after fhe sprightly maid “of the sea," but It was no use. i she was too fleet, and had no hesitation ! whatever In showing a clean pair of heels. The Maris won ihe contest gracefully, and as gracefully Snvannuh ynchtsmen will accord her the full meed of pralne to which she Is e ntitled. The cup was hand somely won. It will go to Charleston and stay n year, when, of course, Savannah expects to "llfVMt and bring It back. The Democrats of Tennessee do r.ot seem to take very kindly to the candidacy of Gov. McMlllin for the senatort-hlp; that is. if the Memphis £ imitar correctly rc*- flects public opinion. It declares that Gov. McMlllin is doomed to defeat if he per sists in his candidacy, after having only recently been nominated to succeed him self as Governor. The idea seems to be that the Governor is too grasping; that he is trying to get too many good things ail at once. This is said to account for the i fact that some of the McMlllin streng- I hold counties have recently expressed themselves in favor of Representative Car mack for ihe senatorship. The Committee of One Hundred on In dia Famine Relief, composed of leading men of New' York, issues an appeal to the public for in - .media e contributions to carry on the work of rescue that it has inaugurated. “From two to five tens a day,” says the appeal, “will save a life.” That is truly a small price to pay for so great a boon. The famine affects not less than 00.000.c00 souls, and the need for I aid is urgent. Thousands are perishing every twenty-four hours for warn of food. All contributions should to Brown Bros. & Cos., 59 Wall street, New York city.

This is the story of twin sisters. ancFthe deception practiced by one who is worldly on the other, who prides herself upon her piety, says the Philadelphia Record. Al though they have reached the age of 70. both old Indies, until recently, have en joyed the best of health. But of lat<* one of the sisters, who is an old maid and lives !1 alone over In West Philadelphia, has been ailing a bit. This is the pious one The other sister, who is a widow, and has had her fling at th© world, advised a tonic. “You are all run down,” she said. “What you need is something to brace you up and keep you in good ©piri's. I will bring you some medicine to-morrow.” What the worldly sister actually did was to buy a bottle of prepared cocktails and carefully wash the libel off. “Now,’’ said she, as she presented it to the invalid, “this i* very expensive, and I don’t want you to give a taste of it to a soul. Take i( n'.l yourself, and take a wineglassful about every three hours.” , The next day the widow again paid a visit to her cld mail sister and found a 1 great state of affairs. The old !idy. who i had never tasted liquor in her life before, j was In a decidedly hilarious mood. “I j feel as young as 1 did fifty years ago.” she j confided to her sister. ‘‘That tonic is the finest thing in the world. I’ll need another | bottle to-morrow. Where can I buy it?” Queer Effect* of Whim*. “It’s a curious thing how some people will sacrifice themselves to their whims.” said a man who pride* himself upon, his study of human nature, according to the Philadelphia Record. “I don’t mean wealthy people, for they can usually af ford to do as they like. I am speaking now of people in moderate, or less than moderate, circumstances. I have in mind n young man whose tastes run to expen sive neckwear. He wouldn't think of wearing a tie that costs less than $2, and he has stacks of them. Now, he can’t afford this luxury, so he has to stint himself ;.y wearing $3 shoes and sls ready made suits. He doesn’t realize the incon gruity of hts attire, and is perfectly happy if his tie is ail right. “Another chap 1 know doesn’t pay the slightest attention to his personal appear ance. ;ind is usually rather frayed-look ing That's because he spends his money on expensive cigarettes. He smokes only the highest-priced imported Egyptian brand, and they cost him 4 cents apiece. He is a fiend and smokes probably forty a day. You couldn’t hire him to smoke a domestic cigarette, which costs half a cent. Yet if he did he could afford to dress himself as he should. I could cite numerous instances of this tendency to extravagance, which have come under my personal observation. I can only ex plain it as a lack of mental balance.” Nearest Way to the Hospital. A friend just back from Ireland as sures me. writes a correspondent of the London King, that there is not in t! e whole empire at this moment a plice whose loyalty can approach that of Dub lin. High and low. especially the latter, are never tired of giving vent to their feeling of devotion for the gracious lady who has tteon moving to and fro in their midst, winning their chivalrous Ir.sh hearts by her womanly sympathy and so licitude. Such a change is the more Startling to anyone who has known how different it was in the recent and we ' cm nil recall some misgivings of our own when the first announcement reached u*4 of the Queen’s intention to cross the Irish Channel. “Thq. best hint T can give you.” said my friend, “of the present si ate of Iri h D el ing is a bit of my own experience thers the other day. I was making my way t> i hospital to see a donor friend, and. not quite sure of my bearings, the di re lion of a rough.

A namesake of Senator Gorman, 4 years old, was being “shown off” by his idola trous mother the other day when the min is er was calling, and was asked to tell the story of the Savior's birth, says the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record. He told about the shepherds and ! the star, and the manger and the bossy cow that looked reverently at the Christ child as they chewed tholr cud, and made i beautiful picture with his childish t ngue. Then, of course, the minister must ask s< me questions, which the child answered bashfully, “And what was Jesus’ mother named?” asked ihe minister. The little on? hesitated while he eearche) his memory, and his adoring mamma en deavored to help him out. “Don’t you r< member Jesus’ mother, darling?” she vaid. “Don't you remember her picture, her beautiful picture, the blessed mother that loves babies so well. Wliat was Jesus’ mother’s name? Tell me, darling.” A smile of Intelligence Illumined the lit tle fellow’s face, and he smiled In triumph; "Mother Goose!” M*t Radical Care. A Souih African farmer, who has lost some cow’s by the cattle plague, was fully persuaded that he had himself been at tacked by the epldeml?, says Collier’s \Veek\v Forthwith he hurried off and consulted his medical man, who tried to lnugh him out of the absurd notion, hut to ro purpose. The* farmer (hen went to an old. well known practitioner, who. being a bit of a 1 wig. and seeing how matters stood, en ter, and minutely into the detail* of the case, xpressed hU concurrence with the i patient's views, and told him he could | cure him. The doctor thereupon wio e a prescrip tion. sealed it u|>, and told the farmer ro go to the druggist In the next town. The farmer lost no time in going with (he prescription, but was somewhat star red when the druggist showed him the formula, which ran thus: “This man has the cattle plague. Take him into the hack yard and shoot him, according to law.” i That cured-'him.
