President Andrew Jackson, a friend
of President,Buchanan and knew Pres

father, Francis P. Blair, who was the
friend and adviser of the president,
and as a little girl she was with them
m their' conferences and up to the time
of her death recalled that it was her
privilege to fill Jackson's corncob
pipes of which he had a fresh one each
day.
One of her most valuable posses
sions was the portrait of Jackson by
Sully, which was painted when Jack
son was a senator and which Mrs.
Jackson considered the best likeness
of her husband ever produced.
Mrs. Lee spent one winter at the
White House.. Her father had built
a residence opposite the executive
mansion, but it was cold and damp,
and the president, ' fearing for her
health, insisted upon her taking a
room at his residence. Just before his

HELD MENACE yTO CZAR
Premier Stolypin Seeks to Crush Con
stitutional Democrats
The proposed meeting of the consti-
tuional democratic party, which con
trolled the douma, has been prohibit
ed by Premier Stolypin, says an Asso-:
elated Press dispatch from St. Peters
burg. ;" ' ' ' .
M. Stolypin's decision on this mat
ter was reached after the attitude of
the constitutional democrats in the
ate parliament and. their present act-
vity had been exhaustively discussed
by the cabinet. According to, a promi
nent member of this party-, who visit
ed the premier to secure his support
for the meeting, M. Stolypin said he
considered the constitutional demo
crats to have been an undesirable
party in parliament, because their
'respectability" was a cloak for high-
y dangerous sedition and criticism.
The premier much preferred the group
toil, because men like Alladin and
Zhilkin were at least outspoken. The
government and the world at large
knew just where to place them.
This decision has been communicat
ed to the committee of the party and
preparations are already under way to
hold the meeting in Finland, probably
at Helsingfors.
The soldiers on duty at Warsaw, en
raged at the continuance of murders
by the terrorists, are acting with great
brutality. Governor General Skallon
is taking energetic steps to prevent an
attack on the Jews. The Jews are in
a state of panic.

NOT THE RICHEST GIRL
Bertha Krupp Says There Are Ameri
can Girls Wealthier Than She
"I am not ; the richest girl in the
world," says Fraulein Bertha Krupp,
in denying the many stories that have
been published about her. She says:
There are American girls much
wealthier than I. The American pa
pers, you see, have been printing a lot
of nonsense about my affairs and have
put words in my mouth that I would
never dream of uttering. No, I do not
keep a court; this lady, Madam
Brandt, is my companion, not a 'dame
of the palace. They say I have a
bodyguard of 3,000. Those 3,000 men
are doing police duty in the works and
yards that's all. And my cabinet?
If I have one, every American bank
president Indulges in that luxury. ' I
have a board of directors that direct,
in fact they direct the business with
out even consulting me."
CHINA TO OPERATE COAL MINES
Probably Will Export Fuel From the
Northern Part of Empire -
A dispatch from Tokio, Japan, says
there is growing evidence that the
cninese government seriously con
templates competing with the Kaiping
mines in the production of coal in
north China.
The Taotai Kwoh has secured from
the viceroy authorization to export
coal from the district of Paitaitze, be
tween Kaiping and LInsi, and 45,000
taels have been provided to work the
existing native shafts. When the vice
roy is satisfied that the prospects are
favorable, extensive modern mines wil
be opened with foreign assistance.
Whether this action of the Chinese
is caused through the shortage of

SAYS BACON IS BEST MEAT
Minnesota Professor - Declares It r is
Cheapest Because it Contains the
Most Nourishment
Professor Snyder of the Minnesota
food station says that bacon should
be the most popular . meat. Speaking
of , a recent test made, he asserts .that
the bacon was cut into thin slices and
baked or broiled in the oven until
crisp and brown., - All the fat cooked
out was saved - and consumed with
bread and other food. This way about
90 per cent ofthe protein and 96 per
cent of the fat-contafning bacon were
digested and about 88 per cent of the
energy was available. "Even at a
higher .price per pound," said Prof.
Snyder, "bacon is the cheapest meat
to buy, as it is far more nourishing."
