charge of the forthcoming ceremonies attending
the Inauguration of the President-elect and all
matters pertaining thereto. You will appoint
such officers as may be necessary. designate a
general and all necessary subcommittee and
serve as chairman of said general committee"
This choice it Is unnecessary to add met with
the hearty approval of the citizens of the Dis
trict, among whom Mr.. Britton had spent a large
portion of his life. Mr.. BrittOn was born in
New York city in the year 1885, and prior
to the war practiced law in Rhode Island and
Florida After the breaking out Of the
war he removed to this city, where he has re-
sided ever since with the exception of one year
spent In California. He is a well-kwown land
and railroad lawyer and is identified with the
business interests of the city an owner of
real estate and member of several corpora
tons.
The position to which Mr.. Brtton was called
was one OF great responsibility. He recognized
this fact from the start and to the neglect Of his
own business has devoted the greater portion of
each day to the work Of the committee. His
executive ability was loon manifest. and during
the months Of preparation he has maintained a
supervision over the entire field Of preparation
that has omitted no detail, however slight. He
can say NO" pleasantly yet decidedly. and in all
the variety Of suggestions and plans that have
been presented he has pursued wise and con-
servative course.
Securing the Pension Building.
Mr.. Britton wasted no time in making the
preliminary arrangements. The important ques-
ton that first presented itself was the choice of
place for holding the inaugural ball. The
great hall OF the Pension building that was
used for this purpose at the last Inauguration
was naturally suggested. but the officials of the
city pOst-Office were at that time. under author
fty OF an act OF Congress- making preparations
TO occupy that hall for post-ofilce purposes. No
time was lost In calling upon the Postmaster
General who had discretionary authority in this
matter, and soliciting his cooperation in secur-
ing the hall for the use of the inaugural
ball. General Dickinson promptly
acceded TO this request, and the plan OF
removing the city post-ofiiee to the Pen
sion building was temporarily abandoned

Montana has re&ped at once from
Territorial vassalage into q superIative
degree Of government. While
the other new States have to get
along with one Legislature apiece,
Montana has two. In the present
state OF affairs it will be impossible
for United States Senator to be le-
gally elected without a compromise.
Each party has power enough for
obstruction, if not for action. It was
reported the other day that one of the
Republican State Senators had gone
over to the Democrats. Nothing
moro has been heard Of this rumor,
and it is probably an error. Ifcorrect
it would give the Demo rats the upper
hand, They already b I'VE the Cover
nor, and with the majority in the Sen
ate, which that detection would assure
them, they could proceed to carry on
all the business Of legislation. In any
0ther case there wilt be complete
deadlock. Neither of the rival AS
semblies can do anything without the
Senate, and neither side can muster a
quorum in that body.
But in the last resort the Democrats
have the advantage. If nothing be
done within the constitutional limit of
sixty days the session Of the Legisla-
ture wiz expire, and Governor Toole
will have the right to appoint the
United States Senator'S. This will
throw the whole question into the
hands of the people for decision.
The appointments will hold good only
until the meeting of new Legislature
to be elected next year. There will
be plenty of fun in Helena for the
aext two months, but it is, probable
that when the people vote again they
will leave no opportunity for another
middle like the present ONE Exam

Funeral Customs.

When king dies In Siam the whole
nation-men, women and children
are supposed to shave their heads;
and a Japanese widow often keeps
her head shaved after the death of
her husband. The Chinese neither
shave nor cut their hair during the
first period OF mourning. If man
dies, his widow and children are sup
posed to sit on the floor, instead of
chairs, for the first seven days, and at
night they must sleep on mats spread
ON the ground near the coffin, instead
Of in their beds. They are not sup
posed to do any cooking in the house,
and they rely on tie food sent in by
the neighbors They attempt to
take away every comfort from them
selves, and they turn their pictures
with their faces toward the wall and
cover up all Of the houses orna-
ments.-TEx. ....
These customs may seem foolish,
but many Of our civilized and en-
Gghtened Americans follow customs
just as foolish and unreasonable as
those practiced by the nations Of
China and Japan.

TAKES HIS MEDICINE.
Langston Announces He Will
Support Malone.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The Post to-
morrow will publish letter from John
M. Langston, of Virginia, in response
to MANY letters that he has received
from Republicans in his own and other
states asking him to make known his
course of action with respect to the
pending contest in Virginia, and
whether he will support Gen.
Malone, the Republican nominee
for governor. In his letter Mr.. Langs-
ton saws he holds himself ready to en-
ter upon such duties as it may please
the national Republican committee and
the Virginia state committee to assign
him to. "a Republican all my life"
Mr.. Lapgston says, II shall not cease to
be one now. Always active in the in
terest of the party which made our
country free, l shall stand by it to the
last. And I shall esteem no duty too
arduous, no personal sacrifice too great
to be undertaken and made to promote
and sustain its principles. AS regards
nv contest for a seat in the Flfty-hrst
congress, as the Republican representa-
tive of the Fourth congressional dlstrlct
of Virginia, duly and legally elected, L
shall expect the support of every Ree
publican member of the house or
REPRESENTATIVES,, OCPNNAttAiJ AAO
nv own state, and the influence
and support of every leading Repub-
lican of Virginia and the nation, es-
pecially the gentlemen members of the
national Republican committee, and OF
the state central, executive and cam
paign committees of Virginia.; and in a
special and emphatic sense and manner
Ieypect in such regard the influence
and support of the administration. 1
would do my whole duty, and | claim
that even those who have seemed to be
in bitter, and, as / feel, unreasonable
and unjustifable opposition to me, shall
stop such action, and henceforth give
me their support in my efforts to secure
the seat in congress which $4,000 Re
publican voters have elected me to, and
