Who Haunt the President—Dele

By R. M. L timer.
Washington, Oct. 26.—President
Roosevelt’s waiting room at the White
Bouse affords excellent opportunity for
the study of human nature. Two uni
formed city policemen, two secret serv
ice detectives, two doorkeepers, an
usher, with a coat full of G. A. R.
gadges and buttons, and Arthur Si
mons, a negro messenger, are daily on
guard outside the President’s office.
Cabinet officers, members of Congress
and a few other persons enjoying "spe
cial privileges” have the right-of-way
into the President's room, without
knocking. It is the rover or the chron
ic caller who is up against it when
he attempts to break through the rush
line of presidential guardians at the
White House. The doorkeepers and
ushers have by experience learned
whom to admit and whom to “kiss off”
when an occasion arises requiring fine
discrimination.
The President’s “Black List.”
A “black list” is kept at the White
House, which includes persons whom
the President has no desire to see.
Seme of the persons on that list are
chronic callers at the White House,
who imagine they have business of
such importance as can only be con
sidered at a personal Interview with
the President.
For instance, there is an individual,
claiming to be a white Republican
from Georgia, who, at some time in
his career, occupied a government po
sition in South America. His one am
bition in life is to be reattached to
Uncle Sam's pay roll, while the legal
representatives of Uncle Samuel are
not favorably disposed in that direc
tion. The Georgian is tall, slender,
wears a high silk hat, mustache and
goatee, a long frock coat, dove colored
trousers, and usually a kid glove on
his left hand—like a real Southern
gentleman.
The “Chronic Caller.”
A stranger might have mistaken this
“chronic caller” for a ■ distinguished
personage, when he entered the anti
room at the White House a few days
ago. With Chesterfieldian graciousness,
he made the rounds and gave each at
tendant outside the President’s door
a friendly greeting and a cordial hand
shake. Then announced his desire for
a brief interview with the President
on business most urgent. To make the
demand more binding, he handed the
doorkeeper a carefully written note to
a similar effect.
The doorkeeper knew his customer,
but did not care to give him away
before the crowd, which was at that
moment quite numerous. Pretending
to take the note directly to the Presi
dent the doorkeeper switched oft
through Secretary Loeb's room and
there lingered a few minutes, and then
came back to the “C. C." (chronic call
er), and said:
"The President is very busy this
morning. He cannot see you. He
requests that you put your statement
in writting, and he will give it con
sideration.”
A look of indignant surprise cloud
ed the face of the "C. C.” as his note
was returned to him. He sat sullenly
in his chair for a few moments, then
with rage he tore his note into bits,
threw them on the floor and bolted out
of the door. Two days later he re
turned, went through the same per
formance and* he has not seen the
President yet. He is still in town and
may be here for an indefinite period.
“The Colored Brother” Colter.
Then there Is the “colored brother."
Since the Booker Washington incident,
the "C. B.” (colored brother), imag
ines he has first mortgage on the
White House. It is a treat to see As
sistant Secretary Barnes. Secretary
Loeb's understudy, dispose of an over
enthusiastic negro delegation or a sin
gle C. B. The C. B.’s are all great
hand-shakers, but Mr. Barnes is not.
After a long delay Mr. Barnes
comes out into the anti-room with the
C. B.’s card in his hand. The C. B.
springs to his feet, and with a broad
smile rushes towards Mr. Barnes and
offers a, hand-shake. At that partic
ular moment it requires both of Mr.
Barnes’ hands to hold the card, so the
hand-shake overture is rejected unin
tentionally, apparently. Mr. Barnes is
not naturally frigid, but he is a good
actor.
When Congress is not In session the
White House is a popular resort for
the “Queens of the Lobby,” and there
are dosens of them. One particular
Queen—she is very unattractive, too—
rushes to the White House almost
dally. She Is always on a rush. Must
see the President, Just for a minute;
has something he would give oceans
to know; cannot write it, too impor
tant to put on paper, must see if only
for a second. Again the Loeb room
bluff Is worked by the doorkeeper and
the Queen flaunts herself out of the
room vowing dire vengeance against
the entire Republican administration.
The day would not be complete with
out a delegation with a set of reso
lutions or a campaign poem. If tho
delegation is under the guidance of a
congressman it gets in, otherwise the
road to the President's room seems
long and weary. If the delegation sees
the President and the resolutions strike
him oa being worth a cabinet photo
graph, with his autograph, the chair
man of the delegation leaves the White
House with President’s picture In his
hand, ami at the same time having ac
quired the envy of' the other member#
of tho delegation.
Roosevelt's Birthday.

ARSON CHARGES ARE
MADE AGAINST PERRY.
Evidence That He Fired the Car
Works at Hcgewiscb.
Chicago, Oct. 27.—The National
Bank of North America has been pur
chased by the Continental National
Bank.
This action comes as the climax to
the charges connecting the name of
President Isaac N. Pefry of the Na
tional Bank of North America with
the burning of the Chicago Locomo
tive Company Works at Hegewisch
Oct. 9. Mr. Perry resigned the presi
dency of the bank, but the directors
refused to accept it, affirming their
belief in his innocence. Fear that the
publicity growing out of the case
would injure the bank led to the
merger,
Mr. Perry and a number of his
friends to-day went to the court room
of Justice Callahan in South Chicago,
where two charges, one of arson and
one of arson with intent to defraud
insurance companies, were entered
against him. On the first charge his
bonds were fixed at $5,000 and on the
second at $2,500. Bonds were signed
by friends and the hearing was con
tinued to Nov. 5.
Evidence of incendiarism in connec
tion with the Chicago Car and Loco
motive Works fire at Hegewisch, lead
ing practically up to the point when
the match was applied, is in the hands
of Corporation Counsel Tollman. An
other sensational feature of the case
that developed to-day is the discovery
that Mr. Perry has filed with the in
surance companies no claim for any
portion of the $172,000 insurance car
ried on the Hegewisch plant.
The evidence given before Fire At
torney Johnson and made public to
day contains testimony from Frank
Bock, engineer of the Chicago Car and
Locomotive Works, and from L. H.
Baldwin, former president of the com
pany.
Baldwin, according to the evidence,
said that Perry had applied for extra
insurance, greatly over-valuing the
plant. The engineer testified that
Baldwin had told him of this, and re
peatedly warned him to be on his
guard.
i “Those inflated values mean some
thing. Guard that plant as you would
your life. Don’t let anybody in the
buildings alone, not even Perry,” was
the warning given by Baldwin on one
occasion, according to the engineer.
Bock’s testimony recited that Perry
had peremptorily ordered combustible
materials, such as cars, to be stored
among the buildings of the plant,
which were of such construction and so
separated that fire would hardly have
spread from one to another without
intervening combustible matter.
Bock said he saw Perry coming out
of one of the buildings shortly before
the fire. Bock also told of an experi
ence with Perry the day before the
fire, and in it the fire authorities hope
to find a clew as to the manner in
which Perry is alleged to have brought
in the time fuses found in the build
ings. Bock said there was a hard
packet in one of Perry’s overcoat pock
ets. “The flap was pinned with two
safety pins. Scarcely bad I discovered
this when Perry saw that I had his
coat and hurriedly took it from me.”

TYNER WANTS NO CONVICTION
BY PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION
Censures the President for Not “Righting the
Wrong” He Says Was Done.
Washington, Oct. 27.—The letter
which was sent to Judge James N. Ty
ner, assistant attorney general for the
Postoffice Department, on behalf of the
President in answer to one sent by the
Judge to the President June 11, 1904,
asking him to "right the great wrong"
which he declared the President had
unwittingly done him in using certain
statements reflecting upon his official
conduct was made public to-day by
Holmes Conrad, who has charge of the
prosecution of the so-called frauds in
the Postoffice Department. The letter,
which is signed by Secretary Loeb and
dated June 24, 1904, says:
“A report has been received from the
Department of Justice, and considered
by the President, who further directs
me to inform you that the facts dis
closed in such report abundantly con
firm the views as to your official con
duct heretofore expressed by him in
his message to Congress prepared after
three indictments had been presented
against you by a grand jury and war
ranted the action in your removal from
office, and do not allow him to with
draw the expressions, or annul the ac
tion.
“The - President naturally shrinks
from saying anything that wil dimin

from the verdict of the jury, but he is
BACK TO GEORGIA.
Watson is Coming; to Finish Up His
Speeches.-
Chicago, Oct. 27.—Thomas E. Wat
son, Populist candidate for President,
addressed a large audience in the au
ditorium to-night. He declared at the
outset of his address that it was the
last speech he would make outside
of Georgia during the compaign, and
expressed his gratitude for the kindly
manner in which he declared he had
been received by the press and the
people of the North and East.
Mr. Watson declared that If reform
in the political system of this country
was to come it must arrive through
some other medium than either Demo
cratic or Republican party.
"Look at the candidates,” he said.
"Roosevelt straddles nothing but a
war horse, and Parker straddles every
thing but a war horse. If you elect
Roosevelt, the system stands; if you
elect Parker, the system does not fall.”
HARMON ON TRUSTS.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 27. —Judge Jud
son Harmon, a member of former Pres
ident Cleveland's last cabinet, deliv
ered his first speech of the present
campaign to-night at West Side Tur
ner Hall under the auspices of the
Democratic County Committee. Judge
Harmon was greeted by a large audi
ence. He spoke in the main on trusts
and tariff, saying, in part;
"Mr. Roosevelt admits that trusts
and combinations Injure the people and
ought to be suppressed. The only sure
way Is to reduce the exorbitant tariff
taxes which have produced most of
them. He does not favor that course.
So long as those taxes remain so high
■as effectually to prevent competition
from the outside, or the fear of it,
over-producftion will go on and in
one form or another home oom
petion will be stifled, and the
guilty parties will rely on evasions,
technicalities and administrations
made friendly, or at least not hurtfully
hostile by liberal campaign contribu
tions and the other methods always
open to combined wealth and power.”

_ W. G. UKEWfiB, Vice President and General Manager,
advised that you were not tried for
the wrong doing to which he referred,
but for conspiracy with Barrett to do
wrong; which he is advised is & wholly
different matter, as one may be gutlly
of doing a wrong and not guilty of con
spiring to do so.' '
Mr. Tyner to-ntght made public a
letter addressed by him to President
Roosevelt under date of Oct. 8 and
declaring Secretary Loeb’s letter to be
unfair and unjust. Mr. Tyner’s letter
says:
"Your effort to override the verdict
of court and Jury by a specious dis
tinction between the crimes you say
you referred to in your ’proclamation’
and conspiracy to commit those crimes
might be less contemptible If Its un
fairness and Its Intent were not so
obvious, and If you did not know that
every act referred to In the Bristow
report was fully before the Jury on
the charge of ‘corruption,’ ’bribery’
and ’misconduct In office.' Had there
been any evidence of wrong-doing It
would have bean offered and admit
ted. There was none; and you know
it."
Mr. Tyner asserts his willingness to
go Into court again and disprove the
charges against him, and declares the
President knows there Is no evidence
against him. He concludes:
"If any citizen of our republic can
stand convicted by presidential proc
lamation, then law is a farce and no
man’s reputation is safe. You preach,
‘a square deal to every man;' why not
practice it?”
HAYASHI SCOFFS AT
STORY OF THE DANES.
Nothing to Statement of Ships Fitted
Oat by Japs.
London, Oct. 27.—Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to Greak Britain,
was asked to-night by the Associated
Press for his side of the statement
from Copenhagen that the Danish Min
istry of Marine was informed recently
that several ships were chartered at
Hull by the Japanese government to
attack the Russian Baltic squadron,
and that thirteen Swedish vessels had
also been chartered by Japan for the.
same purpose.
The Japanese minister said that no
ship had been chartered by his gov
ernment front Hull or elsewhere to de
stroy the Baltic squadron. The char
tering and arming of thirteen ships,
Baron Hayashi said, would be Impos
sible In these waters. It would have
been necessary to man them with Jap
anese, and there are not enough Japa
nese here. At Hull, the minister add
ed, there are two Japanese studying
the curing of fish.
Minister Hayashi said the whole
story must have been concocted in or
der to throw dust in the eyes of the
Danish Minister of Marine and of the
world.
CHINESE HURRY ING~TO
GET OUT OF MUKDEN.
iMukden, Oct. 27.—There was a recon
naissance in force last night by the
Russian west flank and desultory fir
ing continued until 2 o’clock. The
Japanese were discovered to be hur
riedly fortifying along the whole line,
but this does not, oX course, preclude
the possibility of an attack by them.
It is the general opinion here that
serious events will not develop for
some days, but, judging by the hur
ried manner in which the Chinese are
settling their money affairs in Mukden,
they are of a different opinion.
The whole army is delighted with
the appointment of Gen. Kuropatkin

among the men is to advance.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 28, 8 a. m.—The

pointment of Oen. Kuropalkln to the

announcement is well received.

Vigo, Oct. 27. —Admiral Rojestvensky

Vatican Wants to Get In.
Rome, Oct. 27.—The Vatican is
sounding different power* on the sub
ject of the admission of Its representa
tive at the proposed second Hague
conference on the same ground as the
suggested admission of the South
American republics, which were not
represented at the first conference.
The Vatican emphasizes the fact that
it was excluded from the first confer
ence chiefly because of the opposition
of the Italian government, supported
by Great Britain, which asked in ex
change Italy's support for the exclu
sion of the representatives of the Boer
republic.
Want Palma’s Politics.
Havana, Oct. 27.—The leaders of the

A Valuable Lesson.
Tn every home throughout Oils beatlful Southland, there Is one valuable
lesson Hint should be learned.
This lesson Is of vital importance to all. from tiny tota In cradles to gray
n**cml men mid women.
This Is the lesson:—Use Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic for Fever. Use
nothing else.
Do you know what this lesson well learnt would mean?
It would mean less grave digging. Less shroud making. It would mean a
whole world of wretchedness taint bitterness removed from thousands upon
tliouiuindw of homes throughout the South.
■ listend of weary tossing upon slek tied*. It would mean that thousands of
slek would be well and able to hold ul> their end of life’s burdens.
Johnson's Tonic Is a wonderful medicine. Its cures are better cures than
nnythlng rlae can make and in striking contrast with the feeble cures
made by Quinine and kindred cures.
It docs in a day what alow and uncertain Quinine cannot do In 10 dsvs.
There are many IJfe Insurance Companies, but there Is but one HEALTH
INSURANCE COMPANY, and that is Johnson's Chill nnd Fever Tonic.
Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic has one vast advantage over every other
remedy known u> the medical profession In treating Fever.
You can give It to the tiniest babe.
You can give It to the frnllest woman.
You can give it when the fever Is highest.
Yon don’t have to wait. You don't lose a moment’s time.
Just ns soon as you can get the medicine, begin to give It.
■Remember that In Its crimson drops and In Its bitter taste there Is IJfe.
Therefore give It quickly. Begin a* once and give a dost* of It every two
hours till the fever Is under control. Then give It every three hour* for a
day, nnd your patient Is well. If yon have started In the first stages of the
fever, the patient Is restored to perfect henlth without appreciable loss of
weight or strength.
If you hare delayed the treatment nnd lost much time by using worthless
remedies, then the loss of weight and strength Is stopped within 24 hours
after yon begin the use of Johnson’s Tonic.
It Is a simple, hnrmtcss remedy which does not contain one particle of
matter that could In any way Injure the frailest or most delloate person.
If your dealer rannot supply yon, send money order for $1.50 and I will
send three bottles hv express, charges prepaid. Yours very truly,

Ofover Cleveland in McClure’s.
I have known Alton B. Parker for
more than twenty years. He Impress
ed me on our first acquaintance as a
sincere, honeet and able man; and this
impression has, with time and obser
vation, grown to clear and undoubtlng
conviction. In the year 1M I invited
him to Washington and urged him to
accept the position of First Assistant
Postmaster General. I shall always re
member with admiration the fine sense
of duty and the frankness and honesty
he manifested as he gave roe his rea
sons for declining the Appointment.
Not long afterwards he began his Ju
dicial career, which culminated in his
election to the chief Judgeship of the
Court of Appeals of the state of New
Kxtraet from a letter Dated Granlte
vllle, S. C. Aug. 26, 1889.
At the age of 50. with twenty-five
years of active practice, I am a care
ful observer and cautious In endors
ing proprietary medicines,• but I can
conscientiously endorse your Johnson’s
Chill and Fever Tonic aa one of the
best combination remedies for Chills
and Fever I hare ever used. It cor
rect* the vitiated secretions of the
liver, relieves costiveness, and pro
motes the absorption and assimilation
of food, thus fulfilling all the Indica
tions claimed for it. Yours truly.

I believe that those ordinary trou
bles known as Biliousness, Chills and
Fever, or Fever without Chills, can
be promptly relieved and cured by
faithfully taking Johnson's Tonlo ac
cording to directions—2 teaspoon
fuls every 3 hours—B doses in 24
hours, until one or two bottles be
used. In about 7 years I have sold
not less than 20 to 25 gross. In most
cases, when it "fails to cure,” it is not
faithfully or intelligently used. I
have refunded for 7 bottles In as many
years. E. A. PHILIPS.
York—a tribunal conceded to be In dig
nity and importance second only,
among the courts of our land, to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
At the head of this great court he
hag for nearly aeven years given to his
work such patient investigation, such
care in finding out Justice, and such
fearlessness in announcing his determi
nations, that his courage, fairness and
impartiality have been universally con
ceded. He assumed the grave respon
sibilities of this high Judicial place
without eeif-concelt, but with such
self-reliance as grows out of faith
and confidence In the sustaining power
of adherence to duty. This adherence
to duty is with Judge Parker not only
a sustaining power but an inflexible
rule of conduct. He evaded the nom
ination for Governor of the state of
New York because he saw greater duty
In continuing to serve the people of hie
state In the place to which they had
already called him. When his candi
dacy for the presidency became a mat
ter of wide discussion, no feverish am
bition Influenced his Judgment as ha
contemplated the situation and strove
to keep in sight the path of duty. Of
one thing he was certain throughout
it all. If ha should in the end bo
summoned by an Imperious mandate
of the highest citizenship to accept the
responsibility of national party leader
ship, duty required of him In the mean
time the undisturbed and unruffled dis
charge of his Judicial obligations/
