Woods Full of Candidates.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan All attention
in this state is now directed to the senator
ship. OF course it is settled that the state
legislature will be Democratic, but there
are somewhere between one and a thousand
Democratic citizens in Wyoming who are
willing and even anxious to don the sena-
torial toga. There are about thirty candi-
dates out, but the belief is general that the
decisive fight will be between exc overnor
Baxter and S. NJ. Cork, with chances fay-

Patronage for Votes Is the Prevailing
Proposition.


Proposition.
DENVER, Jan. 4-The legislative situa-
tion is still very much mixed and the or
ganization of the two houses as much
matter of doubt as ever Combinations
are made and broken as rapidly as made.
The Republicans senators have decided DO
present the name of Senator Smith, the
Populists the name of b. Clark Wheeler,
the straight Democrats the name of Cas-
since Barela, and the White Wings" the
name of Senator Mckinley, for speaker
pro. tenn. of the senate. In the house
straight Democratic members adhere to
Wooten for speaker.
"What'n You Do for Us?''
The Populists appointed committee to
confer with Wooten to obtain his condi-
tions should the anticipated combine be
effected, while the Republicans, who have
one majority, will probably settle upon
AmmoEs, of Douglass, although there are
other candidates.
As neither party has clear majority in
the senate some sort of combination must
be made and the chances favor fusion OF
| Democrats and Populists, the former try
ing to make deal by which they can Sc
cure some of the patronage. Republicans
positively deny the report that two of
their number would act the traitor

New Kind Of Training School.

The Massachusetts Emergency
and Hygienic association has just
prepared a class of young women
for new occupation, that of
trained attendants for GONZALES
cents. chronic invalids, elder ' per-
sons and little children. It often
happens that members of a family
are either untitled, unwilling or
unabl" through business engage
m"nte to care for their own sick or
feeble. The trained nurse is too
expensive a luxury to be kept
through weeks, perhaps months, of
weary cOnValeScence and the pa
tient, WhOperhaps was doing we'll at
her departure, begins to suffer for
proper care. The trained attend
ant, who has been instructed by
competent trained nurses, is then
prepared to take her place. She
has been taught how to Ventilate
the rooms, make beds, battle the
patient, serve and prepare attrac-
tive food, and do the many other
things necessary to make life as
pleasant as possible for the sick.
The young women admitted to the
Boston classes must be at least 20
years Of age, and possessed of good
antccedents. The course of thirty
lessons, for which - were paid, is
followed by discrimination which.
if cr"ditably passed, entities the
pupil to a diploma.

States. The Baroness is a great
traveller as we'll as a renowned

visited We'd with one another in
ShOWering attentions upon her, and

Every means in their power was
her to pursue her historical re-

$4,000 from Congress for her con-
tingent expenses. The writer is an

Alaskan Women.

Judge SheakIey in Washington Star.
There is a woman in Sitka,
known as Princess Tom. who is
very rich. She at one time had
three husbands, but has become
ChristianiZed and has discarded
two. She is an extensive trader
and has several large canoes in
which she transports goods from
Sitka to the interior and exchanges
them with the natives for furs.
She is known all over Alaska and
wears upon her arms 90 or 80 gold
bracelets made out of $40 gold
pieces. The natives also trace
their grnealogy though the female
branch Of the family, and the in
heritance comes through the
mothers side. For instance, if a
chief should die, leaving a son, his
sisters son Or nephew would sue
coed in authority and not his own
son. The women are not slaves,
as in the Indian tribes in this cOun-
try, but exercise a great deal of
authority. The women emulate
their sex in civilized countries in
their atTectatiOn Of bright and gau-
dy cOlors, and most of the money
that they receive is invested in
brignt-COlOred goods and shawIs.

Keeping the Oven Clean.

Whenever anything bOilS over
in the oven it should be allowed to
burn to char, as it then may be
easily scraped off and brushed out .
After this the oven should be
thoroughly aired. 1t is a great mis-
take to bake a delicate dessert or
cake or pie in the same oven with
a dish of meat which has been
favored with onions or strong
spices. The flavor Of the meat will
affect the more delicate dishes.
The shallow closet under the
baking oven, commonly called the
heating closet, where dishes may
be temporarily kept warm after
they are cooked, should be kept as
clean as the stove oven. 1t is GER
tainly a very disagrceable and a
hard job to clean a stove when it
has been neglected, butit is a small
matter to keep stove clean if you
begin at the beginning and never
allow it to become clogged with
SCOT and dust and the debris OF
food. The flues Of every oven
should be cleaned out once a
month.

Brave Children.

A pretty incident in connection with
the Umbria's delay relates to the chill
dren of one of its prominent passengers.
They were counting on "papas" arrival
on Christmas morning, and decided the
night before not to open the stockings
which Santa Clans should fill until he
came, anticipating at the most q wait Of
a few hours. Even these seemed hard
to endure when the plump stockings
were actually in evidence before their
eager eyes, but desire was Loyalty re-
strained and the day passed. Other days
came and went with the traveller still
out of harbor, but the self imposed or
deal was unAinchingly borne till the
blissful Saturday when their ship came
in, and joyous reunion and realization
rewarded their faithfulness.

Well Acted.

In the school attended it was the Gus
tom for the girls to write plays, and one,
entitled "The Successful Accident" was
prepared for our class to be acted in
school. It was customary for the pupils
to have dramas and invite their friends.
The histriOnic talent of almost every girl
attending the school had been shown off
to great advantage, but there were two
who had never succeeded, and they were
chosen to act conspicuous parts in one
scene Of this play-that Of governess and
excited mother Of her pupils The old
lady had to enter the room hurriedly and
speak sharply to the governess, Again
and again they were drilled, but at every
rehearsal they failed, and all feared they
would not succeed.
When the curtain rose there sat the
poor, trembling governess with book in
hand. The stage floor had been newly
waxed, and when the elder lady came
sweeping in she lost her step and slipped
all the way across the stage, carrying be-
fore her the astonished governess, who
remained where she fell, off the opposite
aide Of the stage. But her employer
arose, Strengthened her gray wig and
walked with stately step to the entrance.
The curtain fell, and the audience APP
plauded, thinking it the best acted part
of the play - Washington News.

The Use of "wnl" and "shall.n

There is probably no more confusing
part of the English language than that
which regulates the proper use Of "shall"
and will" The reply Of James Russell
Lowell to the woman who wrote, say
ing, 81 would be very much obliged for
your autograph" has been often in
print, and has undoubtedly been clipped
for scrap and pocketbook reference by
many persons. The poet essayist grant
ed her request in the following fashion:
"Pray, do not say hereafter, i would be
obliged If you would be obliged, be
obliged and be done with it, Say, 4
should be obliged and oblige, yours
truly, James Russell Lowell"
An additional hint to go with this
''cut me out" is that Of the old verse;
In the first person simply shall foretells;
In will . threat or else q promise dwells;
Shall In the second or the third doth threat;
VIII simply then foretells the future feat
Or "shall" in the first and twill" in the
second and third persons are to BIO re-
garded as simple declarations, and both
