New York, Oct. 21.—Former Presi
dent Grover Cleveland in McClure’s
for November gives his personal esti
mate of Judge Parker as a candidate
for President. He says of him in part:
“We sometimes find features of
character so prominently visible in a
man’s mental organization that, like
the features of his countenance, they
need no proof of their existence. This
Is pre-eminently true of Judge Park
er's intent deliberation in reaching
conclusions and his inherent judicial
conservatism. These qualities of his
mind are so distinctly apparent that
they are at once seen and known by
nil who gain the slightest knowledge
of the man. This would make it thor
oughly understood that those who
love presidential pyrotechnics must
look elsewhere.
“I have known Alton B. Parker for
more than twenty years. He impress
ed me on our first acquaintance as a
sincere, honest and able man; and
this impression has, with time and

observation, grown to clear and un
doubting conviction. I am sure that
I venture nothing in making the pos
itive assertion that the guiding trait
of his character is his constant and
unyielding devotion to duty.
“Judge Parker's experience in judi
cial investigation, added to his nat
ural aptitude in the same direction,
ought to satisfy the most cautious and
exacting of his abundant ability to
discover in the light of constitutional
requirements, and in the atmosphere
of enlightened but conservative Amer
icanism, the manner in which a Pres
ident should best serve his country
men. \
“I am persuaded that the Ameri
can people will make no mistake If
they place implicit reliance In Alton
B. Parker’s devotion to duty, in his
clear perception of the path of duty,
in his steadfast persistency against
all temptation to leave the way where
duty leads, and in his safe and con
servative conceptions of presidential
responsibilities.’’

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. OCTOBER 22. 1904.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Roosevelt as Henry Cabot Lodge Sees Him.
New York, Oct. 21.—1n McClure's for
November, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge gives a glimpse of President
Roosevelt as he sees him. He says
of him:
"No man has lived the life of his
time so amply as he; no one has shown
humanity in so many phases: no one
has wider sympathies or so many in
terests. It would be worse than idle
for any one, no matter how intimate
his knowledge, to fancy that he could
depict a character so many sided, so
tried and tested in such multiform ex
periences within the space allowed me
here. His dally life does not differ in
any respect from that of any other
very busy man of great energy, who
find rest and relief not only in
active out-of-door life, but in a wide
and constant reading of books —a habit,
by the way, quite as characteristic as
any others, but of which the news
paper critics and humorists tell us lit
tle.
“Theodore Roosevelt apprehends very
quickly. When he has thought a sub
ject out thoroughly, and knows what
he means to do, he acts promptly.
When, after full consideration, he has

made up his mind as to what is right,
he is unbending; but no man has been
in the White House for many years
who is so ready to take advice, who
has made up his mind more slowly,
more deliberately, and after more con
sultation than Theodore Roosevelt.
“Every nation, or, rather, every his
toric race, has certain attributes, in
addition to the great and more obvious
virtues which it believes to be peculiar
ly Its own. and in which it takes an
especial pride. We of the United States
like to think of the typical American
as a brave man and an honest man,
very human, w ith no vain pretense to
infallibility. We would have him sim
ple in his home life, democratic In his
ways, with the highest education that
the world can give, kind to the weak,
tender and loyal and true, never quar
relsome, but never afraid to fight, with
a strong, sane sense of humor, and
with a strain of adventure In the blood
which we shall never cease to love un
til those ancestors of ours who con
quered a continent l\ave drifted a good
deal further Into the past than is the
case to-day. These are the qualities
which all men admire and respect, and
which thus combined we like to think
peculiarly American, As I enumerate
them, I describe Ttyfeodore Roosevelt.”

Tlie resolution was presented sofno

matter In secret session for two hours

Senator Lodge said President
Roosevelt’s letter to Dr. Albert Shaw,
which Mr. Culberson quoted, was not
new, having been published a year
ago, and declared It proved the ex
act reverse of what was claimed for It.
"The letter,” said Mr. Lodge, “dem
onstrates not that the President was
guilty of complicity til the Panama
revolution, but that he had absolute
ly refused to do anything which could
*by any possibility be taken as en
couragement to the projects of revolu
tion."
Senator Lodge denied that the let
ter was withheld from the Senate, say
ing it was u private letter which would
not be sent to the Senate. Mr. 1-odge
said that, at the request of the Demo

PAINTING A NNAKK.
The How Constrictor Not Reassuring
us a Slttsr.
From the Windsor Magazine.
The Hon. John Collier had an excit
ing experience while painting "Lilith."
His "Lilith" wears a snake in very
convenient coils about her. A famous
animal dealer of Liverpool, out of re
gard to the painter’s uncle, a county
court Judge, offered to lend him any
thing from his stock that he might
want In the making of his picture. Th*
menagerie was visited and a large boa
constricter was chosen.
Mr. Collier had hired a little studio
in Liverpool, and thither came the
new and strange “sitter.” The boa
constrictor rcrllsd about hie keeoetg
who had him lit complete control by
holding him by the neck. It wee a
cold day, and tho boa was eo torpid
tnat the keeper thought it quite pru
dent to dlveet him of the enake and
to go out to luncheon, leaving the liv
ing coil, ten feat long, upon the floor.
The artist remained; he poked the fire,
und the heat came out in waves. The
boat constrictor, made leea aluggtsh by
the warmth, began to wake up and
then to move. The artist did not stir
at first, but when the boa constrictor
made his way to an inner room com
municating with the rest of the house,
Mr. Collier, not knowing how unwel
come and dangerous such an unexpect
ed visitor might contrive to be. sprang
forward In time to catch him by the
tail.
For a moment there was a pause,
and than the great boa constrictor
glided forward and was lost to the art
ist’s sight. The keeper returned to
find hla charge comfortable enough as
an Intruder, sleeping ths sleep of inno
cence. Finally the snake was chloro
formed, in order that he might more
placidly complete his sittings.
