ALL THE SESSIONS WERE SHORT Jones and Falconer Will Handle the Gavels in Washington, and Haines and Davey in Oregon. Salem, Or., Jan. 15.—Organized by the election on the first ballot in each house of E. W. Haines, of Washington county, for president of the senate, and of Frank Davey, of Marion, for speaker of the house, the Oregon legislature made itself ready yesterday for lawmaking. Committees will be announced Wednesday or Thursday. Haines was elected over Hodson, of Multnomah, by a vote of 17 to 7, four Democrats, Caldwell, Yamhill; Smith, Umatilla; Hedges, Clackamas, and Mult, Jackson, joined the 13 supporters of Haines, and Haines voted for Bowerman, one of his followers. Hodson voted for Bailey, and Miller, of Linn, voted for Coshaw, and Coshaw for Smith, of Umatilla. In the house, Davey received 59 votes and Rothschild, the lone Democrat of that body, who nominated himself, received one, each voting for the other. In the Republican nominating caucus, Davey, had 44 votes, one of his supporters, Reynolds, being absent, and Vawter, 14. There was no contest and the voting was perfunctory, all knowing what the result would be. Haines was elected at 2:30 o'clock and Davey a few minutes later. George E. Chamberlain's second inaugural as governor will be held at 1:30 p. m. today. The two houses will meet in joint convention to canvas the vote for governor, and as soon as the vote has been announced the oath of office will be administered by one of the justices of the Supreme court. Governor Chamberlain will then read his message. There will be no ballot on United States senator until Tuesday, Jan. 22, when the formal election of F. W. Mulkey for the short term and Jonathan Bourne for the long term will take place. It was thought that the election of Mulkey would take place immediately, for the reason that the appointment of Gearin was only "until the next meeting of the legislature," but an investigation shows that even in filling a vacancy the election must be held on the second Tuesday after organization. Olympia, Wash., Jan. 15.—Washington's tenth legislature spent about 60 minutes in organizing yesterday and then took a rest until this morning. The senate proceedings were out of the ordinary for the most part. Thus Nichols of Seattle nominated Jesse S. Jones of Tacoma for president pro tem, and Jones, a new member here, for the first time was selected by acclamation to a position where heretofore has always gone by seniority. J. Will Lysons was named for secretary, which was a concession to the desires of President Coon, who wanted Lysons chosen again because of his experience as secretary of the past two sessions. W. T. Laube, of Seattle, was nominated for assistant secretary, and Billy Conner for sergeant at arms. Both were elected by unanimous vote. The house session ended almost as soon as it began. A. J. Falconer was elected speaker by acclamation, Reid of Tacoma making the nomination and Godman of Dayton offering a motion on behalf of the Democrats that it be unanimous. L. O. Meigs of North Yakima for chief clerk and Glenn Cotterill for sergeant at arms were elected by acclamation. A joint committee of the house and senate called the governor and arranged that the message be read in joint session at 2 o'clock today. Each house provided for a special committee on employees, the senate limiting the number to 33 and the house to 38, all at salaries based upon ordinary pay, which will cut the gross employees' payroll to less than half of that of last session. Farmers Raid a Coal Car Pendleton Jan. 15.—Farmers in the vicinity of Vansycle, a small station on the line of the W. & C. R., in the northern part of this county, raided a carload of coal, left standing on the track there yesterday. The car of fuel was bound for the Potlatch Lumber company, in this city. Vansycle is 30 or 40 miles from wood, and as a consequence the farmers depend upon coal for fuel altogether. This winter they have been compelled to almost do without any and consequently took matters into their own hands. Ice Blockade Solid. The Dalles, Jan. 15. — The blockade of ice in the Columbia has become solid almost to Three Mile rapids, and crossing is possible in many places along the city front. Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria Rampant Among Children. Chicago, Jan. 18.—With 6,000 school children in Chicago and suburbs prostrate with scarlet fever and diphtheria and the announcement from the state capital last night that smallpox and scarlet fever are practically epidemic throughout Illinois, the health authorities have awakened to the most serious condition they have experienced for years. Radical steps were taken at once in closing many schools, and, if the disease continues to spread, it may result in the closing of all places of entertainment and resorts where people congregate in large numbers. Reports of new cases flooded into the health office with increasing rapidity. Seventy-six new cases of scarlet fever and 30 cases of diphtheria were reported within the city limits in three hours. In all 118 cases of contagious diseases were reported to the Chicago health department yesterday, including cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria, against 107 reported the previous day. Dr. Herman Spalding, the city's contagious disease expert, declared there were about 3,000 cases of scarlet fever in the city at present and 2,000 cases of diphtheria. In Evanston and Oak Park there were probably 1,000 additional cases. In Evanston 4,550 pupils were barred from school by order of Dr. William R. Parkers, of the Evanston board of health. In Oak Park 3,500 more children were barred. It is estimated that more than 25,000 pupils were kept home from schools in Chicago yesterday by the parents. SINKING INTO SEA. Ruined City of Kingston in Danger of Being Engulfed. St. Augustine, Fla., Jan. 18. —Wireless messages received at the station on Anastasia bay today by Chief Electrician Elkins say that Kingston is sinking gradually; that many holes and cracks 100 feet deep were formed by the earthquake, and that grave fears are felt that the entire city will slip into the bay. Havana, Jan. 18. —Rear Admiral Evans, in a message to the cruiser Com. Jamaica, states that a huge tidal wave has changed the coast line of Jamaica, leaving the entire south side of Kingston under water. No bay is reported left, and the whole coast line is reported sinking. Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 18. —Thousands of persons were killed in the earthquake and the dead bodies are being taken from the debris by hundreds. The whole town is in ruins and the greater portion is still smoldering in ashes. The smell of burnt flesh pervades the air. The earthquake came as a sudden oscillation, not from any particular direction, but up and down. Thousands of persons were on the streets of Kingston at the time and great numbers of them were crushed. Many Americans in Kingston were killed and have been buried. TEST CASE FOR JAPANESE. Boy Will Demand Admission to White School and Be Refused. San Francisco, Jan. 18.—The initial step in the international test case between Japan and the United States over the exclusion of Japanese children from the public schools of this city attended by whites will be taken this morning. At 9 o'clock in the morning Kei Kechi Aoki, a ten-year-old Japanese boy, accompanied by his father, will appear at the Redding primary school and demand admission. His demand being made, it will be refused by the teacher, Miss M. F. Deane, on the ground that she is acting under the state law and under the instructions from the school board. Witnesses will be on hand to make affidavits to the exclusion of Aoki from the school. The issue having thus been declared, suit will at once be filed in the Federal court by the United States district attorney. Plan Car Clearing House. New York, Jan. 18.—Local officials of the American Railway association said yesterday that the reports from Chicago that many of the large railway systems of the country had agreed to a pooling arrangement for all their freight cars was premature. What is in contemplation, it is said, was the establishment of a freight clearing house, with the object of increasing the efficiency of car service. The railroads entering Chicago have already consented to the establishment of an experimental clearing house. Japanese Spies at Fort Clark El Paso, Tex., Jan. 18.—Three Japanese who had been employed as servant by the officers at Fort Clark have mysteriously disappeared. Their actions in examining the fort and equipment, their close attention to the drilling and the discovery that they were frequently making memoranda led to the belief that they were Japanese officers. PROCEEDINGS OF OREGON LEGISLATURE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE Recommendations Made by Chamberlain to Legislature. Salem, Jan. 15.—Governor Chamberlain delivered his biennial message this afternoon to both houses of the legislature in joint session. His recommendations follow: Election of Jonathan Bourne and Frederick W. Mulkey to the long and short terms, respectively, as United States senators, in accordance with the result of the direct primary election.

Salem, Jan. 15.—The senate was called to order at 10 o'clock a. m. by President Haines. There was but a short session in order that both houses might attend the inauguration of Governor Chabmerlain and listen to his message. In the brief time, however, a large number of bills and resolutions were introduced. Among those presented was one to provide for the lending of surplus funds in the state treasury and the state to receive the interest thereon. Salem, Jan. 15.—Having perfected organization yesterday, the house today gave evidence of great capacity for business. Although the session of the house this morning was not convened until nearly 11 o'clock about 40 resolutions were offered, the report of the committee on apportionment of clerks was received and approved, and more than a dozen bills were received and passed to second reading—this in time to admit of an adjournment at 11:50 o'clock. A large number of investigating committees and junketing trips are already in prospect. A railroad commission bill, including reciprocal demurrage was among the measures introduced. Wednesday, January 16. Salem, Jan. 16.—Five bills curbing railroads in the house, and none in the NO. 39. senate, indicates the apparent difference between those two bodies on the question of railroad commission, rate regulation and reciprocal demurrage. "Apparent difference" means there are plain signs that opposition to the plan of disciplining the railroads will center in the senate, and that foes of that plan will not spend energy in the house, unless they shall perceive growing sentiment there in their favor. It is rather too early yet to measure up sentiment on this important question, obviously the most important before the lawmakers. Not yet have the lawmakers taken sides on the railroad matter. Both the house and the senate effectually put an end to the calendar graft, and in doing so the state's legislators had the cheerful co-operation of State Printer Duniway, who recommended and materially aided in accomplishing this reform. Clerkship graft was reduced to a minimum in both houses today. Each house adopted the report of its committee on resolutions, in which it was recommended that no clerks be employed on any of the various joint investigating and junketing committees that may be created, unless it is shown that, the services of such clerks are essential. More than $650,000 will be asked of the legislature by educational institutions this session—an increase of $300,000 over what they received at the last session for the biennial period. Demands of the four normal schools will be more than double the total sum allowed by the last legislature. Demands of the several institutions are as follows: Monmouth normal, $110,000; Drain normal, $40,000; Ashland normal, $60,000; Weston normal, $70,000; Agricultural college, $125,000; Experiment station at Union, $15,000; State university, $250,000; total, $670,000. Both houses adjourned until Monday. Ther have now been 59 measures proposed in the house and 69 in the senate. A bill has been introduced in the senate to abolish the normal schools at Ashland and Drain. A bill has also appeared in the senate appropriating money for the Third Eastern Oregon District Agricultural society. May Refund Money. Salem-Holders of fraudulently procured state school land certificates are to receive their money back, if the recommendation of Governor Chamberlain shall be carried out. At the request of the governor, Attorney General Crawford has prepared a bill, authorizing the state land board, in its discretion, to refund to a holder of such a certificate whatever money had been paid to the state threon.

Topics of the Times Wonder if Mrs. Russell Sage has Count Bonl on her list. The "tone bandit" industry has experienced several serious reverses later. Even the easy-going Frenchman makes a wry face when he tries to swallow Count Bonl. Brigands are reported to be active in Sicily. Perhaps Sicily is trying to be known as the Wall street of Italy. A divorced couple named Carr have been reunited by their baby. This is something unique in the line of Carr couplers. The average man thinks he would have an excellent chance of occupying the presidential chair if the office sought the man. A New York theater offers a free seat to every man who never lied to his wife. This is an absolutely costless bid for notoriety. The man who insisted on tempting fate by going over Niagara Falls in a barrel has subsided, but the reckless balloonist is always with us. A Massachusetts club woman wants a law prohibiting a man from marrying more than once. Why not make it to include pretty wildows, too? Miss Ida Tarbell is now engaged in a hand-to-hand combat with the tariff question. Has she exhausted all the possibilities of the John D. Rockefeller question? The coal supply of the United States is said to be good for 5,000 years. That is, of course, if President Baer, the representative of Providence, doesn't become wasteful. Countess de Castellane had to content herself with a divorce, the court, possibly through an oversight, having failed to order Boni to be taken out and drowned in a bag. A New York church has secured a girl whistler in an attempt to increase the number of attendants at services. Why not a real whistler—an office boy or a telegraph messenger? Notwithstanding the fact that a German savant has shown that the works of Shakspare were produced by somebody else, Hall Caine continues to look as much like the immortal bard as possible. Prof. Brander Matthews regards the English language as "violent, illogical, chaotic and absurd." Still, if the professor doesn't like it, he is at liberty to use any of the other numerous kinds on the market. A New York Judge has rendered the opinion that it is no crime to hug a girl on a doorstep. Without touching upon the legality of the operation there are men who will cling to the opinion that it is exceedingly dangerous if the girl's father happens to be large and husky. The Postoffice Department wants better roads for its rural carriers, better mail transportation on American ships and safe steel cars for clerks in the railway mail service. It ought to have all of these things. The work of the department in preventing frauds has become increasingly effective, and it may well be carried still farther. It is one of the most useful agencies on the side of sound public morals, just as the whole great postal system of disseminating knowledge is a priceless stimulus to national intelligence. The fact that eight of the eleven members of the new French cabinet are or have been journalists demonstrates anew the importance of this profession in France. It is the avenue to distinction, as the bar is in England and the United States. The personal element in the French journals is of course the reason. The leading articles are signed, and a man may make a reputation through them in a few weeks, whereas the English or American journalist may write thousands of brilliant leaders and remain unknown. Which of the two systems is the better is a difficult question to decide, although many hold that the anonymous system is the more likely to secure a solid, well-balanced and responsible press. Novelists, some of whom may never have owned a dress coat, used to be fond of drawing, in their tales, a sharp social distinction between persons who "dressed for dinner" and those who did not. Now the editor of a British medical journal has been discussing and commending from a hygienic point of view the habit of dressing for dinner. Every one knows that a change of clothing is often refreshing. The English editor believes that the effect is physical as well as mental, or physical through the mental stimulus, and advises that even the hard-working clerk, the shopkeeper and the laboring man cast off their workaday clothes and put on clean clothing for the evening meal, when the toll of the day is over. Like a good many other current discoveries and gospels, the high-voiced talk respecting the necessity for restricting the right of marriage to phy- sically sound people is as old as civilization. Indeed, the theory goes back of civilization and extends to barbarism, for many savage tribes summarily killed off the unit. So far from permitting them to marry, they would not permit them to live. In an age when fighting was the chief end of man physical perfection was an indispensable qualification. The weaklings, male and female, had to go—the males because they could not fight and the females because they could not bear fighters. In this stage of the earth's progress the war factor does not enter into the matter so strongly, but all humane and discriminating people must and do agree that the mating of physical or mental weaklings, and especially those affected with the so-called hereditary diseases, is strongly to be deprecated on grounds of humanity and expediency. No reflecting person desires the degeneration of the race. But the contemporary clamor over the matter by people who put the question upon a purely animal basis will lead to nothing save the disinclination of most persons to discuss it at all. There can be no proper objection to necessary plain speaking, but there can be and there is an objection to continual harping on a subject which is perfectly familiar to everybody already. Nobody defends the mating of the unfit. The marriage of consumptives, for instance, is obviously wrong and undesirable. But the evil results of such a marriage cannot be emphasized because everybody is fully aware of them already. The whole thing, in a few words, is the rediscovery by people who are always making such discoveries that two and two make four. The world has known it all along and to vociferate it in the market place does not make it either new or interesting. Noah Webster, who was somewhat of a reformer in his day, would be gratified, no doubt, were he living, by the compliment of confidence paid to him by the House committee on appropriations, which has inserted a paragraph in the appropriation bill providing that the government printing office "shall follow the rules of orthography established by Webster or the other generally accepted dictionaryes of the English language." This bill, when passed by the House and approved by the President, will put an end to the feeling of public unrest which has prevailed since the difference of opinion expressed by Mr. Roosevelt and Congress in the matter of the 300 words. Naturally it is not believed that the slight clash that has gently disturbed the delightful relations between the President and Congress in this diversity of view will extend to more serious matters. It is not feared that the painful disagreement which marred the administration of President Andrew Johnson will be repeated or that the country will be convulsed by another governmental wrangle. The acorn of dissent which has been born of so-called reform spelling will not be permitted to develop into a sturdy oak of distrust and wrath. Mr. Roosevelt has done what he could to mend—or to mar—spelling, and he still has it in his power by increased private correspondence to emphasize his convictions and repeat his conclusions. It is true that his messages will be printed in the Congressional Record with the antiquated spelling, but there is solace in the thought that, with the possible exception of the proofreaders, nobody will gloat over his discomfiture in the perusal of that medium of communication. It is pleasant to contemplate the settlement of this minor controversy accomplished in a manner so tactful, graceful and considerate, for, of course, in this instance Mr. Roosevelt will courteously yield to the wishes of Congress, just as he will expect Congress will in return defer to him in other matters of public policy. World Not Sell His Anses Would not sell his ancestors. A plutocratic American of the last century who had seen the green acres and stately castle of an Irish estate sought out its imbeculous owner with an offer to buy. Lord Blank, eager enough to transmute his profitless lands into pregnant gold, named a considerable, but reasonable, price as one he would be willing to take. "Very well," said the American, "I'll give that if the pictures go with the house." After a little reflection his lordship answered, "Yes, you can have the pictures, except, of course, the family portraits." "It's the portraits I want," said the other. "I wouldn't give a cent for the rest of 'em." "My property is not for sale under those conditions," said his lordship, turning on his heel and walking away, to the astonishment of the parvenu, who flung a "Stuck up beggar!" after the retreating figure. I Love You. A Danish paper compares "I love you" in many languages. Here are some of them—the Danish paper is our only authority for their correctness. The Chinaman says, "Vo ngal ni;" the Armenian, "Go sirem ez hez;" the Arabian, very shortly, "Nehabeec;" the Egyptian, similarly, "Nachkeb;" the Turkish, "Sisi severorum," and the Hindoo, "Main tym km pkiar karyn." But overwhelming is the declaration of love of an Eskimo, who tries to win the chosen one by the pleasing sound of the dainty little word: "Univifigssaerntdlualerfimajungnarslguak." We wonder-that it never occurs to a drunkard that he could attract a lot of favorable attention by remaining sober. Every man in town would congratulate him, and speak well of him, and help him in every way possible. THE NEW AGE, POBTLAND, OREGON H.

The standardization trial of the battleship Vermont took place off Rockland over a measured mile. This was to test the screw revolutions at varying speeds, that is, to find out how many revolutions of the screws per minute were required to cover a mile in a given time. Incaused in ice from stem to stern, the new battleship came into Boston harbor from her trial trip and dropped anchor off the navy yard. She looked like a huge specter as she came up through the narrows, for with the exception of the funnels there was no part of the vessel that wasn't coated with ice and the bow and forward part of the battleship were burdened with tons of the frozen water that had been thrown up as the huge war vessel plowed through head seas at a 17.4-knot clip. But the trial board is satisfied that the Vermont is the queen of the American navy, for they say that she behaved beautifully through it all. She was required to make eighteen knots but without forcing her she made 18.33 BATTLESHIP VERMONT BATTLESHIP VERMONT, PRIDE OF THE NAVY. easily over the four-mile course. The boat will soon be ready for active service in the North Atlantic fleet. Naval Constructor Baxter who has had charge of the competition of the Vermont, said: "Here goes out a ship which demolishes all records of the world in naval construction. Not even Great Britain, the leading country in shipbuilding, has ever sent one of its battleships to sea without pre-imlinary deep water trial. But I know enough about the condition of the vessel to say that she is ready to whip any other battleship in the world, of course, giving her a little practice with her guns." At Jenkintown, Pa., Oct. 27, four members of one family whose ages aggregate 350 years gathered at a reunion, when Isaac Mather, the oldest of two brothers and two sisters, celebrated his 100th birthday. There were also present two sons and one daughter of the centenarian whose aggregate ages totalled 206 years. It is not believed that anywhere else in the United States will be found a family that can present a like showing. The four persons whose ages totalled 350 years were: Isaac Mather, 100 years old; Mrs. Rebecca Micheren, his sister, 87 years old; Miss Ann Mather, his sister, 79 years old, and Charles Mather, a brother, 84 years old. The children whose ages totalled 206 years are: Miss Martha Mather, daughter, 75 years old; Israel Mather, son, 73 years old; Isaac Mather, son, 58 years old. Isaac Mather, the centenarian, lives on the old homestead, built on the original tract of land granted to his ancestors by William Penn, at Chelton Hills. In this region he is best known as the "Grand Old Man of Chelten Hills." He is a Quaker and attends services regularly on Sunday. He attributes his long life to simple habits. Never in more than half a century has he retired later than 8 o'clock at night, and he is up with the sun in the morning. His brother, Charles, at 84, is still in active business. **Heroic Treatment.** In these days, when child study is a hobby, ridden long and hard, it is interesting to read of the nerve-training which fell to the lot of the Quaker anthloress, Amelia Opie, in 1769 and after. The modern mother would --- Indianapolis Sun. Long-Lived Mothers. Herole Treatment. WILD CAT MINING STOCK shrink with horror from some of the methods used on the sensitive child, but in this case it resulted in splendid stuff. Mrs. Opie is quoted in a book on "Quaker Worthies." I was a creature of fears, tears and screams. My first terror was of black beetles, then of frogs, skeletons, black men and madmen. My mother made me take a beetle in my hand and hold it. As her word was law, I obeyed, but with awful shrinking. I gradually became accustomed to it, and was frequently told to take one up and put it out of harm's way. I soon overcame that terror. I was made to hold frogs in my hands, and was taught to nurse a skeleton as I would a doll. I acquired the love of the African race by hearing of its wrongs, and I became an eager advocate of emancipation. Mother compelled me to listen to her kindly converse with two poor old lunatics, and I grew to pity them instead of fearing them. Why Opals Are "Unlucky." The world is full of superstition, and one of the worst is that the opal is "unlucky." This superstition arose when the "black death" swept Europe. PRIDE OF THE NAVY. At that time the opal was very unpopular, and some noticed that when a victim of the disease was dying the opal on the finger brightened and when he was dead it became dull. Of course, this took the popular fancy and at once opals became "unlucky," and have remained so ever since. Very likely they do not change at all on the fingers of a dying person, and the whole matter is like that question which once caused so much discussion in the scientific world, i. e., why is it that when you put a fish in a bowl of water the weight of the bowl is not increased? Many learned answers were given, but finally one duffer weighed a bowl of water with and without the fish in it, and thus settled the matter.—Kansas City Journal. Charles Francis Adams was escorting an English gentleman about Boston. They were reviewing the different objects of attraction, and finally came to Bunker Hill. They stood looking at the splendid monument, when Mr. Adams remarked: "This is the place, sir, where Warren fell." "Ah!" replied the Englishman, evidently not very familiar with American history. "Was he seriously hurt by his fall?" Mr. Adams looked at his friend. "Hurt!" said he. "He was killed, sir." "Ah, indeed!" the Englishman replied, still eyeing the monument and commencing to compute its height in his own mind. "Well, I should think he might have been—falling so far."—Harper's Weekly. One afternoon the proprietor of an animal store said to his young clerk: "Tom, I'm going upstairs to work on the books. If anyone comes in for a live animal let me know. You can attend to selling the stuffed animals yourself." About half an hour later in came a gentleman with his son and asked Tom if he could show him a live monkey. To the customer's amazement the clerk ran to the foot of the stairs and yelled: "Come down, come down, sir; you're wanted!"—Judge's Library. It is a part of the love disease for a girl to worry more if her young man gets a splinter in his thumb than if father gets a telegraph pole in his arm. ```markdown ``` Old Story Retold.

One Year, payable in advance.....$2.00 Our Candidate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio Senator Tillman broke out again this week, after studying a good while how he could antagonize the president for what he has said in behalf of the colored race and at the same time vent his own hatred of that race. He concedes that the president was wrong in discharging the colored troops at Brownsville, that it was wrong to punish men without giving them a chance to defend themselves and that the president exceeded his constitutional authority, but he inveighs against the policy or practice of considering or treating colored people as citizens or persons having equal rights with whites at all. The mischief, he says, was begun in the "recognition" of the negro people by inviting Booker T. Washington to luncheon, and was augmented in the president's declarations that colored men were entitled to the same privileges rights and treatment as white people. This is all wrong, says Tillman. The negroes should be treated as nothing but lower beasts and chattles. They are entitled to education, to opportunity, to encouragement, to any privileges, except such as the superior race choose to accord them. As soon as they are in anywise "recognized" as worthy of or entitled to equal rights, they become insolent, and unbearable, a menace to society, and the result will be amalgamation of the races and the disappearance or deterioration of the caucasian race. The old question is asked: "Do you want your daughter to marry a nigger?" Tillman asks the president if he wants his children to marry negroes. And all this nonsense because it is proposed to legally recognize negroes as citizens entitled to equal rights and privileges under the law with others. This cry of society equality and amalgamation is mere rot. Because a colored man is given the rights of a citizen and protected as one it does not follow that he expects to marry a white society belle, nor are white people on this account going to rush into matrimony with colored people. Tillman says it might have been forseen what the troops at Brownsville would do because colored troops had been criminally disorderly before, but there is no evidence that they have been more so, if as much so, as white troops, who are frequently in trouble over similar acts of lawlessness, but are never thus punished. Tillman acknowledges that he hates a negro, except as an obsequious, subservient, underpaid drudge, in effect a slave and so of course he is not competent to discuss the subject of negroes' rights and wrongs from an impartial point of view. Such men are doing what they can to bring about the race war that they predict and pretend to deprecate. But they probably really desire and are working to bring about a race war, with the purpose of exterminating the negroes, or so thinning them out and intimidating them that they will 'not dare to attempt self-improvement again. FREE WATER. From one point of view it does not appear right that consumers of water for household purposes should get it absolutely free, and a proposition by itself we think they should not, but should pay its cost, in proportion to what they consume. But there are other considerations that should be taken in connection. As it is now these consumers, in the majority of cases comparatively poor people, and renters, have been paying not only in proportion to what they use but a good deal more, and they are fairly entitled now to an inning, and to get a rebate on the money that they have paid for the benefit of richer people. Besides the water consumers, and especially the householders, have been paying for laying mains and laterals that added hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars of value to lands of persons who paid no more for water than they did. A large percentage of the $1.50 a month that for many years the small consumer has paid has gone to benefit owners of land, in many cases largely vacant land, owned in most cases by rich or well-to-do people. This is a manifest injustice, and no time ought to be lost in correcting it. It is true that the water board has reduced the rate to $1 a month, but this is still double what the average house ought to pay, and three times what it ought to have paid during years past. The people who have been benefitted by the increase in the value of property they own by the water system in equity owe these consumers a lot of back pay. It might not be best to make water for domestic use absolutely free, but it ought to be reduced to 50 cents a month. Then make the abutting and adjoining property pay for new mains and laterals, make the city and county pay for what water they use for all public purposes, and then raise the balance by general taxation. If the consumers of water for domestic purposes only cannot get water for about 50 cents a month, then it is in order for them to vote for Mr. Wagnor's proposition to make water entirely free to them. The wonder is not that such a proposition is made and strongly supported now, but that the people have stood the unjust exactions of the water board so long. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. The time will probably come when public ownership of street car lines will obtain in most cities. The people don't like to take hold of so big a project, and fear that results would not be satisfactory and so will not take over the street car systems as long as service of private corporations is at all tolerable, but such service in some cities, notably in Portland, is becoming simply intolerable, and will not always be endured. Besides, the people are working up to the subject of more equal taxation, and of the taxation of franchises of public service corporations somewhere in proportion to their privileges and enormous incomes, but it seems impossible to devise any means to make these companies pay a just proportion of their taxes, or any proper percentage of their earnings, and if this cannot be done the people will eventually take a short cut to a solution of the whole matter by taking and running the railroads themselves. Their value would be ascertained, and bonds would be issued for the necessary amount, and the earnings, even at reduced rates, would provide for interest on the bonds and a sinking fund, and also for improvements and extensions. What is the use, people are asking, in giving these immensely valuable privileges to these corporations if we cannot get taxes out of their enormous earnings, and cannot have decent service for the public? The street car monopoly in Portland evidently acts on the principle, "The people be d——d." Its service is abominable, it overworks and underpays its men and does not employ men enough to do the work; it employs in some cases incompetent men because it can get them cheap; it doesn't supply itself with sufficient power or enough cars; it pays no attention apparently to schedule time and nobody knows when a car is coming at any point; frequently one may wait 15 or 20 minutes for a car on a 5-minute line and then the car may rush past and not allow a waiting passenger to get on—in brief, it is disregardful of the public's requirements and indifferent to multitudes of protests. Public ownership may be the only remedy, as a last resort. SUPREME COURT RELIEF. With each recurring session of the legislature springs up the aggitation for some measure to give relief to our worthy and overworked members of the supreme court. The state has undergone a wonderful change since the ancient organic law was framed. So remarkable has been the change that it beggars description, yet the people seem content to endure for the sake of traditional reminiscences—for there can be no other reason—the great inconvenience incident to the old and outgrown constitution. The question that demands the attention of the present session of the legislature and one that should be met is the relief of the Supreme Court. How this is to be accomplished is a matter that will require much thought, but surely some way can be found to meet this crying necessity. The governor's message was as long as one of Roosevelt's a Of course the governor war appointment of all the commission The change from Secrétaire o Dunbar to Benson will be agree Next Tuesday it will be Senate key—but only for a little while Can't the people be entrust elect railroad commissionors? The legislature need not think—Mr. URen is at Salem. The proposition to pass a joint resolution submitting the question of a constitutional amendment increasing the number of judges from 3 to 5 is a worthy one, but in that case there is an element of doubt as to the ultimate result, since the people to whom the amendment is to be submitted have, as past experience shows, a great anti-pathy to tinkering with the constitution and the amendment idea, however good, might fail to receive the necessary votes to carry. Many lawyers advocate the Supreme Court Commissioner plan. This is a way out of the dilemma and since it has been found to work well in California deserves more than passing consideration. The main argument heard against the commissioner idea is that lawyers generally would want to have the judges hear their cases, and that the commissioners would have nothing to do only draw their salaries, while the judges would have to do all the work as now. At any rate relieve the court. THE NEW JUDGE. Mr. Justice Eakin the new member of the Supreme Court was sworn in at Salem by Chief Justice Moore last Monday and immediately took his place upon the bench. Judge Eakin is well equipped for the high office to which he has been elevated, and this honorable court—the pride of Oregonians, will continue in the confidence and veneration of our citizens so long as men of such profound learning, meritorious worth and splendid patriotism constitute Oregon's chief judicial tribunal. It develops that the "negro soldier" who gave offense to two ladies on the streets of El Reno was a Pullman porter, and that the "outrage" lay in the fact of his momentarily touching one of them with his hands to keep out of the mud. In view of this explanation it would appear to be unnecessary for an excited populace to shoot up the barracks or to take any further action except possibly to call on the Pullman company to disband its Oklahoma employees without honor. Tillman is down on the negro race because God made it black. God had some inscrutable purpose in view, no doubt in making Tillman a blackguard and blatherskite. State Printer Duniway has given ample proof that he means to do the square thing, and he will not ask any more than is reasonably coming to him. Four democratic senators showed good sense by voting for Mr. Haines for president and so preventing delay and a possible deadlock. They are entitled to the people's commendation. There are two sides—or more—to the railroad commission law, as proposed by the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Senator Foraker still insists that the alleged negro criminals were never given an opportunity to defend themselves. Evidently Mr. Mulkey will be elected senator for the short term and Mr. Bourne for the full term next Tuesday. The legislature can always rely on Attorney General Crawford's opinions. President Halnes will be all right. The governor's message was nearly as long as one of Roosevelt's annuals. Of course the governor wants the appointment of all the commissions. The change from Secrétaire of State Dunbar to Benson will be agreeable. Next Tuesday it will be Senator Mulkey—but only for a little while. The legislature need not think much --Mr. U'R'en is at Salem. Perhaps the governor is figuring on beating Fulton in 1908. President Haines is the right map in the right place. It is on the whole a capable and honest legislature. The New Age congratulates Speaker Davey. The legislature made a good start. COLDEST IN YEARS. Icy Grip Holds Northwest—Shortage of Fuel Increases. Portland, Jan. 15.—With the mercury steadily falling all day Sunday and Monday and promising to continue at a low point today, Portland is shivering from the effects of the severest cold snap in many years. Between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday the temperature fell 7 degrees virtually without a break. When the weather bureau closed Sunday night at the latter hour the thermometer registered 17 degrees above zero and yesterday hovered near that mark all day. With the fuel shortage more acute than ever before, the cold wave could hardly have struck Portland at a more unfortunate time. What is true of Portland applies to nearly every city in the Pacific Northwest, as the cold snap is general. At Vancouver the Columbia river is frozen over. The Willamette river is full of running ice and may become blocked at any time. Navigation on the Columbia is at a standstill. Many of the lower river boats have been taken off their runs and from present indications nothing will move for several days. Inland Empire Icy. Spokane, Jan. 15. —The whole Inland Empire is in the grip of the most severe cold weather known for a decade. At Pullman the mercury dropped to 18 degrees below zero; at Palouse, the minimum was 11 below zero; Sand Poiat, Idaho, reports 12 below; Moscow, Idaho, witnessed 10 degrees below; North Yakima reports 7 degrees below, and in Spokane the lowest mark recorded is 1 below. In Yakima valley equally cold weather was experienced seven years ago, but elsewhere the present cold snap is the most severe in 10 years. The unprecedented shortage of fuel throughout the Spokane country adds to the inconvenience of the situation. Coal is scarce and selling at abnormally high prices. In some districts wood is fairly plentiful, while in the Big Bend and Central Washington sections all fuel is reduced almost to the vanishing point. General suffering is certain to ensue if the temperature does not rise speedily. In various sections the railroad companies have notified the coal dealers that coal cannot be delivered for an indefinite period, and it is announced that large consignments of coal from Canadian mines to the Inland Empire points have been diverted by the Canadian Pacific railroad to Alberta and Northwest Territory points where the weather is exceedingly severe and fuel is demanded by suffering settlers. Throughout the Palouse the frost has damaged deciduous trees. In orchards the crackle of bursting fruit trees is compared to the report of shot guns. Stock has not yet suffered, but all animals are being fed heavy rations and a speedy rise in the price of forage is predicted. One foot of snow covers the ground and wheat crops will not be damaged by frost. Montana Swept by Blizzard. Butte, Mont., Jan. 15. — Dispatches from throughout the state tell of a blizzard which appears to have generally enveloped the state, raging with great severity in central portions of Montana. For the past 36 hours Fergus county has been in the throes of a blizzard, the thermometer dropping as low as 25 below. In Western Montana the blizzard has apparently subsided. Eastern Montana sections appear thus far to have fared better. On the flat below Butte 28 degrees below zero has been reported. Montana Situation Serious. Helena, Mont., Jan. 15.—The worst spell of winter weather experienced in Montana for many years now prevails. Unusually heavy snow in the northern part of the state and extremely cold weather is stopping the operations of trains, endangering lives of cattle and sheep, and even menacing human life in remote districts. Old stockmen say the outlook is more serious for their herds than at any time since the memorable winte of 1887-88. PHONE EAST 26 287 E. MORRISON ST.

Mr. Allison Sweeney, the Orator and Editor, Discusses Fraternalism. Fraternalism Means Mutual Respect of Class for Class, Race for Race, Church for Church and Individual for Individual. It has seldom fallen to our lot to read a more concise statement of the conditions of affairs in America that have tended to create a race problem and the solution of the same, than was presented in an article contributed by W. Allison Sweeney of Chicago formerly editor of the Freeman one of the leading negro journals of this country. He pays his respects to Senator B. Tillman in no uncertain language and sums up the matter with these words—which contain the gist of the whole matter: "America will have a race problem until the great intelligence, heart and conscience of the people is awakened from its slumber and is aroused to the point where it will demand for the negro a fair chance to earn a living." There is a probability that Mr. Sweeney may in the near future come west to visit his niece, Mrs. Geo. Kiser, and if so an opportunity may be arranged to have him deliver one or more addresses to the people of this state. We can assure our readers that there are few race champions more able and ready at all times with either tongue or pen. In this day and time when it seems that the greatest question of the world is the question of race prejudice and its remedy are only too glad to be able to reprint articles like the following touching as we believe, the foundation of the matter and lack of which is what makes all the trouble not only in America but all over the world. We would that this article could be read by every man and woman—white and black. "It is difficult to answer this question, which a correspondent has asked us, because it is difficult to define a spirit, and fraternalism is not a method, it is simply a spirit. In this respect it differs from socialism, which is also a method. Socialism proposes as a cure for industrial evils that the state shall own the tools and implements of industry. Fraternalism neither proposes nor opposes this industrial method. It differs also from democracy, because democracy is a method as well as a spirit. The oldest ideal of democracy is that furnished by the Hebrew Commonwealth, as outlined in the Old Testament. As there outlined, it involves popular suffrage, government organized in three departments—legislative, executive and judicial—no hereditary class, no standing army, industry honored and promoted, some provision for popular education, a church dependent upon the unenforced contributions of the people, a priesthood forbidden to acquire wealth and the power which wealth confers. These and analogous provisions are all methods for promoting the general welfare. The New Testament neither proposes nor opposes these and kindred methods. It simply commends, urges, inspires and illustrates a spirit of human brotherhood. To analyze a spirit is impossible. To describe it without some approach to analysis is also impossible. Analysis is requisite; and yet analysis must necessarily be incomplete and inadequate. Fraternalism involves mutual respect of class for class, race for race, church for church, individual for individual. It involves mutual interest, rejection of one’s own interests, not upon one’s own things only, but on the things of one’s neighbor, a desire for his prosperity, a regret for his misfortune. It involves rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep. It involves pity for THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON their sorrows, mercy for their errors and their sins, sharing with them their misfortunes, bearing for them their burdens. It involves helping the lame, the halt, and the blind, and endeavoring to redeem and recover from their wrong-doing the criminal. Fraternalism is co-operation, combination, fellowship, uniting with one's fellows in government, in philanthropy, in industry, in order to promote the common welfare. Fraternalism is the parable of the Prodigial Son—for fraternalism is illustrated in that parable antithetically by the spirit of the elder brother. Fraternalism is to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. It is to love one's neighbor as one's self. It is to give with simplicity, to rule with diligence, to show mercy with cheerfulness, to be inspired with a love that is without false pretense, to be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another. It is to be of the same mind, one toward another; to mind not high things, but to condescend to men of low estate. We may illustrate the spirit of fraternism by indicating both some of its tendencies and some contrary tendencies, to be seen in our American life. The spirit of fraternism in the Anglo-Saxon sees in the sunny cheerfulness of the negro, in the love of the beautiful in the Italian, in the patience of the Chinese, qualities to be respected, emulated, borrowed. Fraternism in America looks across the sea and shares the sufferings of the oppressed negro in the Congo and of the persecuted Jew in Russia, and it shares sympathetically in the eagerness, the anxieties, the hopes and the fears of the Russian peasantry struggling toward justice and liberty. It looks across the chasm which separates class from class, and understands, or seeks to understand, the reasons which animate the working-man in his demand for better wages and shorter hours, the tenement house dweller in his demand for better condition of life, the negro in his demand for the open door of opportunity for himself and for his children. Fraternism organizes the social settlement, and lives in the social settlement, with the companionship of the poor, that it demands their needs and helps them to a larger life. Fraternism converts punishment from a reform of revenge to a process of reform, the prison into a penitentiary, the county jail into a reform school, and makes the judge upon the bench the guardian of the unkempt, untrained boys who are brought before him. Fraternism joins the hand of labor and of capital, of employer and employed, in a cordial grasp, and makes them partners in a common benefit. Fraternism in the church honors the spirit of faith and hope and love in other churches. It is catholic in its faith; it recognizes the truth that no sect possesses all the plety of all the knowledge; and it honors the plety and the knowledge in other sects. The clergy of all denominations can render no higher service to the prescript age than to learn by a study of the New Testament what is the meaning of fraternism; to obtain fellowship with Christ the spirit of fraternism; and to teach to their congregations the principles and to inspire in their congregations the spirit expressed in the words of Christ, "Al ye are brethren."—The Spectator.

Food must be vided for them, and so far the on generally used has been corn, alone or with shorts and milk. much of the northwest corn can matured, or is a crop too uncertain expensive to be practicable. Utilizing Corn Fodder. It is desirable to utilize all the food value there is in the corn fodder, though the usual way of feeding it to the stock is a very wasteful method. Where the daily supply of fodder is thrown in the barnyard at feeding time, what the cattle do not eat is trampled down and destroyed, so far as the feeding value is concerned. The leaves and the tops are all stock will eat. From one-third to one-half the length of the fodder is readily eaten in racks without cutting. When the stalks are heavy, coarse and hard, the upper half may be cut for feed with a sharp broadax and heavy block if but few cattle are fed. For a larger herd we have adopted a large shearing knife, homemade, which soon shears enough for a day's feeding. The cutting knife or shears is best made from an old blade of a crosscut saw. After the handles have been removed, get a stout piece of iron (*a*) about eight inches long and one and one-quarter inches thick. Have about five inches of this slit up to receive the back of the saw. Punch holes through both and rivet together. Near the end of this iron have a hole drilled or turn an eye on it to receive a strong bolt. Rivet a strong handle on the other end, as shown at c, long enough to give a good leverage, say two and one-half to three feet. Grind the blade down to a good, sharp cutting edge, attach the cutter at *d* to a strong post or upright so it will have plenty of swing. Put a heavy HOMEMADE CORNSTALK CUTTER. block underneath, and it is ready to cut or shear the bundles as they are fed by a boy or man.—Farm and Home. Siler Scarce in Oklahoma. Silos Scarce in Oklahoma. Most of my 200 acres under cultivation is farmed by renters. Cotton is my main crop. In addition to this, I grow oats and Kaffir corn, says an Oklahoma farmer. This year I have on my farm seventy acres of cotton, twenty-five acres of oats, sixty acres of Kaffir corn, five acres of cowpeas and thirty acres of weeds caused by continual overflowing during the planting season. I do not practice any systematic rotation of crops. I have no silo, and do not believe there is one in the county. Most of the grain raised is feed, but some is sold. From my forty head of grade Hereford stock cattle I realize some profit. Feeding Animals. Feeding Animals. The common mode of feeding animals is to give them grain in a separate trough from hay or fodder, and at different times. Such method is preferred because it saves labor, but the best results are obtained by mixing the ground grain with coarse food that has been passed through the feed cutter. Less food will then be required to obtain results, because the mixed food will be better digested and assimilated than when the substances are given separately. Mauy Kinds of Bees. Many Kinds of Bees. There are about 5,000 species of the wild bees, all with interesting ways of their own. Among them is a species whose females are veritable Amazons and carry more and better weapons than which deposit their eggs in the nest of others, the progeny of both living peaceably together until maturity, when they separate. Then there is the tailoring bee, which cuts leaves with his scissor-like jaws and fits a snug lining of the leaf material into his caveshaped nest. Bran and Oil Meal for Horses. An Illinois stockman who has had much experience in feeding horses and cattle says: "I consider oats and corn, with bran and oil meal, the best farm feeds for horses and whole and ground corn, with bran and oil meal, the best for beef cattle. I use silage and mixed feed twice a day, and do not shred corn fodder. I grow Relds' yellow Dent corn, which averages about forty bushels per acre. I cut thirty-five acres each year and use the corn harvest. I have twenty-five Shire horses and 100 Hereford cattle." Testing Cream. Much dissatisfaction is often experienced by cream producers because of differences reported in the test of their cream, and though they have made no change in the cream screw. Bulletin No. 237 treats of a number of causes of these differences. The bulletin may be obtained by addressing the experiment station, Manhattan, Kan. Proper Way to Dress Capons. In dressing capons they should always be dry-picked and the feathers left on the neck, wings, legs and rump, and the tail and wing feathers should be left in. Do not dress out any capons that weigh less than seven pounds each. Keep the small ones until they grow a little heavier. Barley as a Feed for Hogs. The advisability of feeding barley to pigs, and the methods to pursue in so doing, is well worthy of agitation. That pigs are desirable on the farm is an established fact. Food must be provided for them, and so far the one most generally used has been corn, either alone or with shorts and milk. But in much of the northwest corn cannot be matured, or is a crop too uncertain and expensive to be practicable. In such regions, barley is a reliable crop; and if it can be utilized generally for pigs a great advantage to the industry will have been secured. How to Pack Eggs. A chocolate, or broken candy pail, that can be had for 10 cents at any grocery store, makes an excellent egg carrier when treated in the following manner: Take a sheet of the corru- Choc SAFETY EGG CARRIER. gated brown paper board used as wrapping for breakable articles and line the sides and bottom of the pall, as shown in the cut. Then cut circles from other pieces of the same material to use between each layer of eggs, smaller circles for the bottom, increasing in size as the top is approached. Eggs can be gathered from the nests in such a pail and carried to market with reasonable assurance that few, if any, breakages will occur. The corrugated paper can be obtained in large sheets from grocers, to whom it has come packed about breakable goods. Food Value of Corn in Silage. One acre of corn put in a silo will furnish three cows all the silage they will eat for a period of 200 days, forty pounds a day each. Thus ten acres of corn so used will supply thirty cows for the same length of time. In addition to the silage ration, the cows will need a little good hay and a protein ration of bran and gluten feed. This sort of ration will secure profitable results from any dairy of cows. Curing Wire Cuts. Here is some useful information from a Dakota man. He says: "There are a great many remedies used but I have found the following to be one of the best: Common machine oil and alum. Take alum and burn on stove till white and dry; pulverize fine. Saturate wound with oil, then cover the wound with alum, dusted on with a dust spray. This may be applied once or twice daily." Feeding Carrots. Experiments in the feeding of carrots, beets and small potatoes to cows show that milk fever is less liable to occur when cows are fed liberally on root crops than when they are confined to hay and grain. No corn should be given six weeks before calving. Linseed meal may be allowed with the hay, which should be cut fine and the linseed meal sprinkled over it. --- Simple Extension Ladder. I made a ladder extension by sawing off seven feet from an old ladder and removing three of the rungs, as HANDY EXTENSION LADDER. shown in the cut. Then place it on the outside of the ladder to be lengthened, bore two holes through each side piece, put a bolt in each hole, and the ladder is four feet longer. After using it can be changed to original size much quicker than if tied with ropes, and it's safer. The top ends of the ladder should be cut out to receive the lower rung of the extension.—John Upton, in Farm Progress. --- Keep Fine Poultry as Breeders. A speciment lacking the shape of the breed is not typical of the breed and should not be admitted to the breeding pen because of fancy points of color, comb or eye. The male bird should be true to type, perfect in shape, proud and showy, and of as good color and markings as possible, the more style and strut he puts on the better. Curing Mange in Hog.s Mange in hogs is not difficult to cure and seldom causes death. It is caused by a parasite under the surface of the skin, which produces irritation and later a scab. This is contagious. The best treatment is to wash the pigs in soft water and soap, then rub in dry sulphur. Repeat in a week. A third treatment is seldom necessary. Fresh Eggs. There are never too many eggs in the markets that are stricly fresh, and the farmer who will take the management of his fowls from the female members of the family, keep large flocks and seek his customers, will find poultry more profitable than larger stock in proportion to capital invested.

Alicia's Purse THERE is an appearance of sweet simplicity about Alicia, an ingeniousness of expression, an innocent, half-inquiring, half-wondering look in her big blue eyes and an artlessness in her observations on things in general that render her friends very anxious on her account. I am anxious myself—very anxious. I am afraid that one of these fine days some designing youth with padded shoulders and pointed shoes will persuade Alicia to a matrimonial engagement. There are many such young impostors dangling around her, and it is rather remarkable that nothing of the sort has happened. Not that it is any- thing to me personally, only I should hate to see Alicia imposed upon. Sometimes, though, I catch myself wondering if Alicia is really as gullible as she seems. I wondered when she told me about losing her purse on a shopping expedition yesterday. "I was dreadfully worried about it," she said. "It seemed so careless of me. I don't suppose men ever do lose their purses, do they?" "Never," I replied, "or almost never." "Papa never does," said Alicia. "I heard him tell mamma that he never did. That was when mamma lost hers. He says it is so foolish for women to carry their pocketbooks around in their hands; but I'm sure I don't know how else they could carry them unless they balanced them on their heads. Besides, when I have mine in my hand I always know it's there; it isn't as if I had it in a pocket where I'd never be sure that somebody hadn't picked it." "Of course not," I agreed. "But if you carried yours in your hand how did you happen to lose it?" "I laid it down, of course. I was looking at embroideries at Spoonderby's and you can't look at embroideries with one hand." "I can see that with half an eye," I said. "I wanted the embroidery for a guimpe," said Alcia. "For a what?" "Oh, never mind. Anyway, I must have gone away and left my purse lying on the counter. I know that I must have done so, but I didn't think of it at the time. It must have been an hour before I missed it. I had got through with my shopping at Spoonderby's and I was in Raxtell's." "You hadn't much, then." "What makes you think so?" "I just guessed." "I wanted a sample of albatross and——" "Did you say you were in Raxtrell's or Lincoln Park. "Albatross is a cloth, silly," said Alicia. "I had a sample of it in my purse that I wanted to match and when I went to look for it I found, of course, that I hadn't got it." "You looked for it in your hand, I suppose, and to your great surprise your hand was empty?" "Yes," said Alicia, simply. "My first thought was that I must have dropped it somewhere on the floor and I began to look around for it. Just then a voice at my elbow said, 'I beg pardon, but have you lost anything?' "What kind of a voice?" 1 asked. "It was a very musical voice," replied Alicia, "rich and deep and penetrating, with an indescribable quality in it, if you know what I mean." "A liquidity?" "Not exactly a liquidity. No. There was a sort of sympathetic timbre. But you don't know what I mean. You are just laughing at me." "I assure you I was not. Was it a man's voice or a woman's?" "Why, a man's, of course," said Allcia, wildening her eyes. "How could a man speak in a woman's voice? And he was just splendid. Tall and dark and with the loveliest little silky black mustache." "I wish I had been there," I said. "I'm sure I don't know why you should, because he was perfectly respectful. I think he said. 'Have you lost anything, madam?'" "Oh, one of the floorwalkers." "He was nothing of the kind. He didn't look in the least like a floorwalker; most of them are bald and middle-aged. They are at Raxtrell's. There are some young ones at Spoordenby's. There is one in the ribbon department who is per——" "Never mind. What did you do? Did you freeze him?" Of course I know that the idea of Alicia's freezing anybody is quite prosterous. "You should have done so," I said. "I told him that I had lost my purse and he was most polite and concerned. He didn't try to be silly as some people do." "What people?" "Never mind. He asked me to describe the purse and looked all around under the counter and stools and everywhere, but we couldn't find it, and then I told him that I'd probably left it at the embroidery counter in Spoondery's and he offered to go back there with me." "Alicia," I said, severely, "I'm going to speak to your mother and ask her not to let you go shopping alone. The idea of walking around the stores with a stranger—a young man you know absolutely nothing about—and talking with him and smiling at him and—" "But I didn't walk around with him," protested Allicia. "I told him that I wouldn't think of troubling him and I asked the clerk to show me some albatross and he bowed and walked away just as nicely as could be. He was perfectly lovely about it and I felt mean because I was afraid he would think I was trying to snub him." "You did perfectly right," I said. "Perfectly right." "I don't know," sighed Allicia. "I don't like to be rude. Well, when I got through looking at the albatross I went back to Spoonderby's and, what do you think? They told me that somebody had just called for the purse and described it exactly and that they had given it to him, and, do you know, it must have been that same young man. The description the young woman gave of him makes me absolutely certain that it was he." "I never keep my money in my purse when I go shopping," said Alice, with a faint blush. "There were a lot of samples in it, though, and car fare, and I hated dreadfully to lose it. But papa bought me another and I'd wanted a new one for ever so long. It's just the beautifulest little thing, but I never could have afforded it myself, and papa wouldn't get it for me as long as I had the old one. "Still, I'm sorry for that young man. I suppose he thought I'd be at Raxtrell's for a long time and he'd get the purse and bring it back to me and surprise me. I wonder if he isn't walking up and down State street now with that wretched little purse in his hand looking for me?" "I wonder!" I said. And, as I remarked before, I am still wondering—Chicago Daily News. Without the Saying Grace It was universally acknowledged that Mr. Gladstone's memory was prodigious; but there was a certain Lord Chief Justice of England who thought the statesman's memory of his feats of memory more prodigious still. On one occasion, after listening to what seemed to him a "tall story" of some happening of the great man's early years, the Lord Chief Justice determined to go him one better. So he said that he remembered when he was only six months old, lying in his cradle, he saw his nurse surreptitiously help herself to a glass of brandy, and said to himself: "As soon as I can speak, sha'n't I tell my mother!" "The thing is absolutely impossible," was Mr. Gladstone's comment, in his gravest tone. The Lord Chief Justice said afterward that he had been beaten because he had reckoned on Mr. Gladstone's having a gleam of humor. "I was mistaken!" he said, sadly. Not the Name for It. "I suppose," said the new reporter, "there is a lot of feaulous in the theatrical profession?" "Not a particle," replied the leading lady.

Catarrch is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrch. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the catarral poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and every symptom disappears, the constitution is built up and vigorous health restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion and acts as a fine tonic to the entire system. If you are suffering with Catarrh begin the use of S. S. S. and write us a statement of your case and our physicians will send you literature about Catarrh, and give you special medical advice without charge. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. LIEUTENANT BOWMAN IN FORTY-EIGHT HOURS PE-RU-NA CURED HIM. Cold Affected Head and Throat Attack Was Severe Chas. W.

I had headache also and neuralgia. My right eye, from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant flow of urine kept Texas, writes: "I was afflicted for years with pains across the loins and in the hips and shoulders. I had headache also and neuralgia. My iright eye, from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant flow of urine kept my system depleted, causing nervous chills and night sweats.

"It is my list of books I have read. I call it my book of books. Here is the first entry: 'Westward Ho,' by Charles Kingsley—double-starred because I have read it three times; a star means rereading. Underlined, too, because when I looked the list over at the end of the year, it was one of my favorites. A little circle after the title—that's because it was a work of fiction that set me hunting fact, in history, and biography. "Not all the marks in my code were marks, of honor, though. Look at the cross after number nine; that means trash. And there, after number eleven—the Frederika Bremer novel—the black gash; that means simply that I didn't like it.

There is hardly a king in Christendom whose wife does not overtop him by a head. The English king is quite six inches shorter than Queen Alexandra. The czar, a little man, is overtopped a full head by the czarina. Kaiser Wilhelm is of the medium height, but the German empress is tall, and that is why the proud kaiser will never consent to be photographed beside his wife unless she sits while he stands. The king of Italy, short and squat, hardly comes up to the shoulders of the tall, athletic Queen Helena. The king of Portugal, though fatter, is less tall than his queen. Even the Prince of Wales is shorter a good four inches than the princess. And the young king of Spain is several inches shorter than his queen. Misunderstood.

The most remote mission station in the world is on Herschel Island, in the far northwest corner of the Dominion of Canada. The nearest postoffice is 2,000 miles away. Consequently the packets are few and far between, seldom more than two in a year. The island is a most uninviting place for a residence. No sun for more than two months in the winter, and not a tree to be seen anywhere. Under the teaching of the missionaries many of the Esquimaux are becoming more civilized, and are greatly improving in their manner and habits, and there is a growing desire for instruction.

The head has a tight, full up, pains above the eyes, slight fever upset and the entire system disordered and affected by this disease. It is a waste of time to try to cure Catarrh with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc. Such treatment does not reach the blood, and can, therefore, do nothing more than temporarily relieve the discomfort of the trouble. To cure Catarrh permanently the blood must be thoroughly purified and the system cleansed of all poisons, and at the same time strengthened and built up. Nothing equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks the disease at its head, goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and makes a complete and lasting cure. S. S.

HIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. INTERESTING NEW INVENTIONS NATIONAL GAME PARK. Nearly 60,000 acres in one natural game preserve! Such is the new enterprise which the national government is establishing in Oklahoma. As far back as tribal tradition runs the Wichita mountain region has been the favorite hunting grounds of the Comanche and Klowa Indians, drawn thither by abundance of game and delightful climate. But now game, like the Indians, is largely a thing of the past. It is proposed to reproduce in this splendid natural park all the best species of game animals and birds that once made the great West the hunter's paradise. Deer, antelope, bear, the otter and beaver, quail and doves, prairie chickens and wild turkeys will be given protection and encouraged to increase and multiply. Probably the most interesting feature of the undertaking will be an effort to have, in the course of years, large herds of buffalo again roaming the plains—within the reservation—as they did before the pitiless warfare upon them was carried so nearly to the point of extermination. When the plains now under way are carried out Oklahoma will be able to boast, in this Wichita mountain game reserve, one of the finest natural game parks in the country. Naturalists who have visited the region unite in saying that the preserve, without question, can be made one of the most successful in the United States. The 57,120 acres of land set apart by act of Congress for this purpose lies in the rugged embrace of mountains that attain an altitude of 2,700 feet above sea level, from whose summits one may behold the marvelous expanse of plains rolling westward to the Rocky mountains and southward to the Rio Grande del Norte. To the east the country is broken by timbered streams, many of them splendid water courses, between which are fertile prairies and ever increasing hills that merge finally into the bastions of the beautiful Ozarks in Arkansas and Missouri. From the north, as far as the Dominion of Canada and stretching southward to the Gulf of Mexico, there sweeps past the Wichitas the mighty pathway of the plains, rich in nutritious grasses, over which grazed in the earlier days the migratory herds of buffalo and deer. The climate is mild and dry, although snow whitens the tops of the mountains in winter. In summer the peaks swim in a sea of purple haze. The average rainfall is about twenty-nine inches and the annual mean temperature close to 60 degrees. Seldom does the temperature go below zero. Fish Stringer. Every fisherman, if he has been fortunate to catch some fish that are worth exhibiting, dislikes to hide them in a basket. He would rather procure a piece of cord or wire and carry the fish that way. What the fisherman needs in such an emergency is the carrier shown in the illustration, the invention of a Wisconsin man. When not in use it can be slipped in the ```markdown ``` STRINGING FISH. Be seipped in the trousers pocket, and when needed can be quickly brought forth. It is very simple in construction, comprising a handle, a length of cord and a needle for slipping the end of the cord through the gills of the fish. The cord is arranged so that it can be folded in the middle and passed through a hook in the center of the handle. In this way the string of fish, if very long, will not trail upon the ground. The prevalence of so many bald-headed men has been attributed to the fact that the hair on the head is not given proper ventilation. No one will deny that men's hats afford no means of supplying this much-needed ventilation. In addition, men never discard a hat while in the open air during hot weather — as women do. Means of ventilating AFFORDS VENTILATIO AFFORDS VENTILATIO men's hats have many times been suggested, but Fashion has always tabooed the idea. Nevertheless, the suggestion is again brought forth in a recent patent of a Mississippi man. This hat ventilator accomplishes the pur- Nearly 60,000 acres in one natural grass prairie which the national government is so as tribal tradition runs the Wichita maze hunting grounds of the Comanche and abundance of game and delightful climbs is largely a thing of the past.

No more loyal or devoted servant could be found than Nora Sweeny. The thought her mistress was an angel in very slight disguise, and that the rest of the family were all far superior to the ordinary run of mortals. Her indignation was beyond bounds when she found that Bridget Halloran, attached to the Laphams on the second floor of the apartment house, considered "her family" far ahead of Nora's in every way, because of their style of dressing. "She's always talking to me about their clothes, Mrs. Harmon, dear," said Nora, with a hint of tears in her voice as she set down the heaped basket of snowy garments one Monday on her return from the roof, "but I've --- pose thoroughly, as shown in the illustration in connection with the ordinary derby hat. Between the brim and crown of the hat, encircling the latter entirely, is a band (about the size of a regulation hat band) composed of narrow openings extending from top to bottom. The band is made of hard rubber or celluloid, to give the necessary stiffness or elasticity. It would undoubtedly afford much comfort to the wearer. It would be impossible to make similar slits in the felt of the hat, as the latter would not hold its shape. The introduction of hard rubber keeps the hat in shape, and at the same time is not unduly conspicuous. Of course, the use of this ventilator is not confined to derby hats, but can be attached to any style of hat. tract attention.

It is shown in the illustration. This apparatus is a glass vessel, and is nearly filled with water or other suitable transparent liquid.

At the left is an opening for admitting the liquid and on the opposite side an overflow pipe. When the apparatus is placed in a shop front or the like the flame, burning within the liquid apparatus, can also be used for producing hot water for heating purposes. game preserve!

"Why, what did you say, Nora?" asked Mrs. Harmon, with an anxious glance at the pretty flushed face of her little maid of all work. "She said," and Nora caught her breath, "she said, 'The dress your lady wears to church is about fit to hang out my lady's washing in!'" "And you said?" prompted Mrs. Harmon, as Nora paused. "An' I said," Nora's head was proudly lifted, "There's not a thing my lady wears, even if it's when she's all alone, wild himself away, would be fit for that!"
