1 ASTRA PER AS The Mail VIII. HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, OCTOBER 26, 1901. NUMBER 32 "Honor to whom honor is due" has been one of the mottoes of President Roosevelt's life. He believes that Prof. Booker T.

Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is doing work for which he deserves to be honored, and as practical evidence of that belief he entertained Prof. Washington at. dinner, in the White House. That is the whole story, which has been seized upon by the democratic press and worked up into a great sensation, with the hope that it will serve to revive the race question in the South and thus aid in preventing the rapid growth of republicanism in that section. President Roosevelt is not worring over the newspaper-made furore.

Before leaving Washington. en route for New Haven, where he will take part in the celebration of the bicentennial of Yale University, President Roosevelt granted a special and informal audience to Marquis Ito, the distinguished Japanese statemen, who came all the way from Japan to attend the Yale celebration. Both gentlemen seemed much interested in the halfhour's conversation, which was general in its nature. If evidence were needed that the government of France is interested in the attempt to sell Panama Canal company's property and rights to the U.S., it would be found in the fact that it has authorized the Chancellor of the French Embassy, in Washington, to assist Mr. Hutin, president of the French Panama Canal Company, who is now also in Washington, in L.is negotiation with the Department of State and the Isthmian Canal Commission.

The negotiation has 80 far been confined to attempts of the two Frenchmen to exaggerate the value of the Panama outfit. They have not named either a definite figure or the terms upon which they will sell. The impression prevails among well informed men that they are much more anxious to prevent this government taking hold of the Nicaragua Canal than to sell the Panama outfit. Secretary Gage is again on duty. He declined to be iuterviewed, but when asked whether he found the people of the west much alarmed about the Treasury surplus he laughingly said that he did not; that the people seemed to be pleased to know that the government was in such excellent financial condition.

A surplus is considered a very useful thing for a priVate buisness to have, and there can be no doubt of its being equally useful to the government. There are lots of ways in which some of the Treasury surplus can be spent to benefit the country. Doubtless some of these ways will be pointed out to Congress by President Roosevelt and Secretary Gage and be adopted at the coming session. Hon. Frank W.

futher advanced than usual for the anual distribution of seed by the Department of Agriculture, which will' begin December 1. The plan provides for sending out during the winter a total of 37,000,000 packets of about twice the number ever distributed before in a single season. Postmaster General Smith is so fully convinced of the great benefits of rural free delivery that he will in his annual report ask that Congress appropriate $6,250,000 for that branch of the postal service, which will be $2,750,000 greater than the amount asked for last year. The demand for rural free delivery is grow much faster than the Post Office Department can supply it, but it is doing its best. Four hundred new rural carriers were appointed, this month and same number will be named next month.

The end of the Schley Inquiry seems to be in sight. Mr. Rayner, Rear Admiral Schley's chief counsel, says he will probably get all of Schley's witnesses, including himself, on the stand this week. It is not supposed that the court will take more than a weekperhaps not so long--to consider the case after the evidence is all in. It may be remarked in passing that there has been no falling off in the number of Southern democrats who have called on President Roosevelt and expressed their willingness, aye, anxiety to hold Federal office under him since Booker Washington ate that White House dinner.

Secretary Root will give immediate attention to affairs in the Philippines, in order to decide several military matters. The recent activity of scattered bands of Filipinos make it quite certain that no troops will be ordered away from the Philippines for some time. In the annual report of Adjutant General Corbin, just made public, it is shown that the army in the will be reduced at the rate of about 2,000 a month from this time until next June, by expiring enlistment. One of the questions for Secretary Root to decide is whether men shall be recruited and sent to the Philippines to take the place of those whose enlistments will expire. Agricultural Collige Creamery to Run All The Year.

At the September meeting of the Board of Regents of the Agricultural College a commiteee consisting of Regent Stewart, President Nichols and Professor Otis was appointed to arrange for running the College creamery through the entire year, which heretofore has been running only the three months of the dairy school. The Continental Creamery Company, which has skimming station located at Manhattan, has kindly consented to abandon this territory and give it to the College. The latter expects to start operations the first of November. This enlargement will materially increase the efficiency of the dairy school. An expert butter maker and cheese maker will be hired who, in addition to looking after the regular creamery work, will give considerable time to orginal investigations and experimental work in butter making and cheese making.

Apprentices to the number of twenty will be allowed to enter at the beginning of each quarter. Last spring all the short-course dairy students who could be recommended had secured good positions two weeks before the close of the school. Since a large number of requests have been received for butter makers, cheese makers, and skimming-station operabut on account of the scarcity of tors, men very few of these positions -could be filled from the College. The new arrangement will enable a much larger number to reap the benefits offered by the College and at the same time enable the College to better meet the demands made upon it for trained men.

Postal Ruling For the Guidance of Rural Mail Carriers, The following rule has been issued by the government, prescribing the duties of rural carriers: "Hereafter rural letter carries shall not act as agents, salesmen or solicitors for express companies, letter box manufactures, wholesale houses, corporations or firms nor engage in any business or avocations which would interfere with the proper performance of their official duties. They may act as news agents, sell newspapers or periodicals on their own account or accept and collect subscriptions for the same. "When carries receive newspapers or periodicals by express or by other means outside the mails to be sold or delivered on their routes, they, as news agents, will be required to pay postage on such matter at the second class rate of postage (1 cent per pound), except in the case of county papers, which are mailed free to subscribers residing in the county in which they are published.

"This order is not intended to prohibit carries from performing various private commissions for the accommodation of the patrons on their routes so long as it does not interfere with the regular and prompt performance of their duty." "Brown's in Town'' The story of "Brown's in Town," which is the attraction at Shaw Theatre, Friday, November 1st, is decidely complicated, and the complications are new. They come about through the efforts of a young man to keep his marriage a secret from his father. In furthance of his plan he had his bride go to a country village where the father arrives later and where friends drop in quite by accident of course, and to the utter dispair of both Brown and his wife. When the father arrives upon the scene he is told his son is visiting a man by the name of Brown; this naturally compels the introduction of Mrs. Brown as well as her husband.

One of the friends in ignorance of the marriage is persuaded to play the part of Brown. He finds it much to his liking, and proceeds to make love to thelady in earnest, a proceeding which the husband is powerless to prevent, 1109. 108 2100 WHERE HAVE 1 SEEN THAT PACE BEFORE without revealing the very thing he is trying to conceal. Matters are futher complicated by the fact that the pseudo Brown is supplied with two wives to suit the different energencies, and is finally accounted Mormon by the irascible father who has caused all the trouble. Ultimately matters have straightened out by the son confessing the fact that he is married, and as the old gentlemen has become very fond of Mrs.

Brown he finally gives then his blessing and everythings ends happily. Managers Delcher and Hennessy call this farce an extraordinary one for the reason that it is widely different from anything that has been seen on the stage in a number of years. It is built on novel lines similar to that of "Why Smith Left Home." Its dialogue is crisp and fresh and in action it is said to be about as brisk as they make them. Moreover the people in the cast are competent, they are C. Horn, W.
