A WoRD Or ADVICE

Meant for your benefit
As Saturday heaves in sight the buster we're
eettins-all over the house-but especially on the
second floor
We want to advise you to come tomorrow and
do your shopping if its possible thing. 1t will
make no difference to u.s. but you'll have more
time-the stock will be in more trim shape. and
If there should have to be any little changes neces
sary you've got twenty -four hours leeway in
which to make them.
Undoubtedly Sunday will be beautiful day
and you must make your plans and moves
cordngly.
You'll hate awfully to start your little son out
on that morning clad in the same things he's worn
all winter-tust because you neglected to make
rugged up" you'll feel doubly bad. Confess now,
won't you,
It's pride-but pardonable one.
We all like to see our little folks attred as tast
lily and neatly as other peoples. And don't you
make any mistake, but the little shavers them
selves have tender spot on dress.
Gratifyit.
It's hardly necessary to go into details. Do US
the justice to see what we've got That'll satisfy
us. We've got sufficient confidence in the mothers
Of Washington to believe they appreciate what's
being done by as for their sons and heirs
We believe its mutual exchange of confidence.
Are we right
Heed our advice-you'n find it to your advan-

1t is impossible to pleaseleverybody. If the
governor Of South Carolina had permitted the
two negro lynchers to be hanged, half the peo-
pie would have accused him Of race prejudice
because white lynchers usually escape justice.
Now that he has spared their lives, the other
half are blaming him because his decision is in
terpreted as notice that lynching by either
race VIII go UNPUBLISHED in South Carolina.
About the only thing he could have done to
satisfy such conflict of demands would have
been to hang one negro and pardon the other.
And even then somebody would have risen to
denounce such invidious distinctions.

Nominations.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE presi.
dent sent the following nominations to the
senate t. to-day: Thomas W. Palmer OF
Michigan to be minister of the United
States to Spain, john f. Swift of Cali
fornia to be minister to Japan, John d.
Washburn of Massachusetts to be minis
ter to Switzerland. George Tichenor Of
Illinois to be assistant secretary of the
treasury, vice Maynard, resigned.
In executive session the nominations
were referred to the appropriate commit
tee when formed. Some surprise was ex
pressed at the failure to confirm Palmer's
nomination at once, but the senator *.
planned that the rule of immediate con,
tirmations, save of the cabinet, was con
fined TO senators. Palmer is not now a
senator and while every senator, it is SAID,
wanted to vote for him, it was decreed
best not to depart from the rule.

LawIessness in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, March ia mob o.
1000 gathered in front of the city hal
this morning to'await the arrival Of Sam
Zip ia and Ha Ding, the Cinnamon
charged with i~nveigling little girls int
their laundries for immoral purposes.
The police anticipated this and took them
to the court room early where they ART
now being examined. The crowd was very
noisy, but as yet no unlawful demonstra.
tons have been made, Officers in squads
are now engaged scattering the assem-
blage.
Later-The crowd which has been
hanging around the city hall since early
this morning suddenly left this vicinity at
$ O'Clock this afternoon proceeded in s
body to the west side where they are nov
smashing in windows and cutting Chinese
laundries. Police are hurrYing Il the
scene.
The street in the vicinity of the Chinese
laundries has been thronged with crowds
of men and boys to night. The doors and
windows of half a dozen laundries have
been smashed in with rocks before the
police could arrive to dispense the crowds.
At one point an unlucky celestial fell into
the hands of a mob who began yelling for
a rope to string him up, and he would
have Jared badly but for the courage OF
one policeman who protected him until
assistance arrived. Late to night crowds
are dispensing and no more trouble to-
night is probable.

New War Vessels.

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Unless I'm.
ioreseen obstacles are encountered within
a few months after the beginning of the
next fiscal year, July ], contracts will be
let for the construction of new war vessels
which will in the aggregate increase the
tonnage of the navy nearly Is. 900 tons
Although the majority of the new vessels
will be small craft compared with the
monster ironclads of Europe, they will
embody in their construction the latest
improved ideas of high speed and heavy
armament and will be very formidable
ships of war. The designs for these ves-
sells have already been prepared by the
naval board and await approval by the
secretary. In addition, congress at its last
session provided for the construction of
four more cruisers including the Thomas
cruising monitor, and in an emergency
their construction could be commenced
whiting the present year.
