Her DPS great-grandfather, Captain George Flem-Pleming of Ireland, was given a large tract of land on the St. Johns River, now known as Fleming's Island, by the King in recognition of military serv- cfc when Florida was a Spanish prov-Je.

Another thing this political savant attempted was an explanation for Gov State. Republican machine, are ready end anxious to do him homage. This means they are ready to accept his leadership. It Is an Interesting situation, intensified by the transfer of Governor Hughes to a seat upon the Supreme bench, a place he did not seek, and, apparently, did not want.

The Governor has so often complained of tba necessity of returning to private practice, to recoup losses occasioned by nearly four years In Albany, that not a little surprise Is felt at hU acceptance of a $12,600 Job at Washington. A score of editors In New York are paid higher wages than are associate justices or the chief justice; but the place is one for life. Indeed, its acceptance carries with it an Implied obligation to retain It and not to I paid a visit to one of the old Roosevelt legion yesterday afternoon, who spoke with entire frankness about the peculiar situation In this state. Uu- ernor Hughes' retention of office until willing as Colonel Roosevelt might be to accept a nomination for Governor, this man saw no hope for party success this (all with any other man at the head of the ticket. He said he had seen tho statement In and white that Roose-vel would not consider an election to the United States Senate; and although his words are at variance with deep-seated reports, one must remember that- the first requisite to such an election would be a Republican Legislature not an assured event.

Therefore, whoever is slated for the Democratic nomination for Governor this fall may know who his antagonist will be. Colonel Roosevelt, It was explained, is a man of peculiar moods. He can be Induced to' accept this nomination, my informant believed, because he has always October. He declared, most emphatically, that if tbo present Legislature balked at the Governor's favorite reforms, an extra session would be called. The present Chief Executive of the state is unwilling to turn over matters of that sort to his all these years.

Much in the same mood as Warren Hastings, when he sought and secured a return to the House of Commons (where he had been impeached) and of Andrew Johnson, who came back to the Senate Chamber, over which he hud presided as Vice President, and wherein an attempt to convict him of "high crimes and misdemeanors," bad failed by only one vote, so Roosevelt, as absolute dictator of his party in New York, would find supreme gratification in serving a complete term as Governor. This sounds like Theodore Roosevelt! His career has ---ountered many vicissitudes; but the wheel has always come ought to be long remembered. An additional thought was that an acceptance of a gubernatorial nomination by Colonel Roosevelt dispelled the mirage of "the return from Elba," which a candidacy for the Presidency would raise. It would also put a quietus upon all tales of disagreement between President Taft and the returned hunter. When I asked for an opinion about Taft, there waB perceptible hesitancy.

"He will be his own successor," was the reply, ultimately, "because there is not a man in the Democratic party strong enough to make a winning fight." He be. lleved that much of the agitation about the tariff would be stilled before the next national campaign; furthermore, he appeared to think a few more aggressive Democrats in the House of Representatives would do the country good, and serve to open the eyes of weak-kneed Republicans who have "allowed themselves to be led 'round the. ring by Cannon, Payne and Dalzell." The speaker was "a radical," and his opinions must be accepted as such. The word "radical," as applied to Republicans who traveled tho hot sands with President Roosevelt, has come recently to have a somewhat more general successor. The Republican State Convention will have been held sometime in September; the tickets of both parties will be in the field, and Governor Hughes desires an opportunity, before he retires to the se- 7- 3- felt that he was forced out of the place CENTRAL BRANCH LEADER TEAM WINS MANY LAURELS.

A nullification of the marriage is asked, on the ground that the woman Is "Invincibly modest." She is said to be a graduate of Wellesley Ccllege, although her maiden name is not mentioned. Then follows a narrative, compiled from Adolph Belot's famous novel, published twenty-five years ago, "Mademoiselle Girot, ma Femnie." The Paris Figaro began the publication of that story, but suddenly stopped It. The New York "Gerow" case does not end like the Parisian one.

During the Spanish-American War, one newspaper proved that another establishment appropriated Its news matter by causing a small bogus dispatch to be printed announcing that "Colonel Reflip Thenuse, an Austrian officer, was on his way to Join the Cuban Army." The supposed cablegram was copied, literally; ufter which the first journal pointed out that "Roflip," spelled from right to left, made "pilfer," and the colonel's name became "Pilfer the News."
