q statesman. Senator Pierce had been
governor of Dakota territory, was
splendid newspaper man, had been
elected to the senate with legislative
recommendation that the long term Of
six years be given him, and he was
backed by some powerful corporations.
Nevertheless Senator Hansbrough was
elected and has since forged to the
front until he is now one of the leaders
of his party On the floor of the senate.
He made splendid effort last winter to
secure an appropriation of 81 ,000,O 900 to
eradicate the Russian thistle from our
soil, but the condition of the national
finances was such that the house of
representatives declined TO allow the
appropriation. Senator Hansbrough
secured the passage of his bill through
the senate, but the house successfully
opposed it. Senator Hansbrough will
take up that subject and press it again
next winter. / do not believe that he
can accomplish his object on account Of
the condition of the treasury. How
ever, men sometimes work for several
years on important measures before The
congress will permit proper legislation.
hut solid, steady, persistent worker
like Senator Hansbrough ultimately ac-
complishes his ends. The senator will
be chairman of the committee on ter
ritories, position held for many years
by Senator Platt, of Connecticut.
lnasmuch as the congress will con-
vene within few weeks, shall try to
tell you something about some others
OF the great senator's and representa-
tives upon whom the eyes of the coun
try will soon be fixed as they gather be-
meath the dome of the capitol and pro
ceed to legislate for the people of this
great American republic.

One Is Intended for the Toilet, the Other
for the Dining Room.
The smaller of the two doilies shown
in the cut is some four inches across,
and is made OF fine butchers linen, out
lined in white wash silk, buttonhole
stitch. 1t is designed for a perfumery
bottle, and nothing could be much more
delicate for toilet table. The design
in black and white can give no idea of
the daintiness of the white silk or fine
linen in such a pansy design.
The other design is about six inches
in diameter, and is worked in yellow
silk on linen of medium thickness, but
tonhole stitch, as in the case Of the

ANOTHER point to be remembered
concerning tablecloths is the ironing.
The ordinary laundressis apt to make
cross fold, which mars the smoothness
of the linen. Direct her to fold the
cloth lengthwise and then fold once
more only, also lengthwise.

report went abroad that another suicide

natural causes. She had been i'll for n

THE CHRISTIAN STATE
An Iowa Clergyman Says the

AND is CALLED AN ANARCHIST.
Interrupter Is Kissed. but Takes the
Matter as Good Advertisement
a san Francisco Incident.

San Francisco. April l5.-Turmoii. misses
and cries of shame prevailed at the
meeting of the Congressional Monday
club today, IN the auditorium of the Y.
NJ c. a. building, when Rev. {. q.
Brown, pastor of the FIRST congregational
church told Rev. George Heron, pro-
fessor of applied theology at Iowa COLLEGE,
Grinnell, Iowa. that he was an anarchist.
So tumuituous grew the audience, COM
posed OF clergy and laymen. that the
reverend gentleman had 10 cease his ad-
dress of excoriation.
The clergy OF all the Protestant de-
nominations In San Francisco had been
invited to be present al Prof. HerSon' s
lecture on The Christian State" When
the latter said: I'm spite of all we can
say. Professionalism Is losing and Roman
ism Is gaining ground In the Unltetd
States
That's not true" exclaimed DR..
Brown, who was sitting near the plat
form. There was a visible sensation
among the audience at these words, but
Prof. Heron continued calmly: In
spite of all statistics. Romanism is gain
ing. / tell you. friends. that God will
curse this divided Christianity"
Rev. Brown then obtained permission
to make an address. He started In with
personal illusions. which provoked an
other row. Finally a vote was taken,
and It was ruled that Rev. Brown must
leave the platform. but before doing so
he made the following sarcastic COM
ments: Il anticipated this. and I thank
you for your advertisement OF my next
Sundays sermon. I VIII then and there
review the teachings of DIR. Heron.
whom I esteem TO be an anarchist"
With these words DR. Brown withdrew.
to the accompaniment OF cries OF
shame and loud Kisses.

Shameful End of the Infamous Fifty
Third Congress.

Let me conclude with a picture OF me

Around at the other door are more lob

Backed up against the marble pillars
everywhere are members buttonhoied and
on the defensive. Some OF these women
are notorious. The very fact that they
are brought TO bear upon any item OF leg
islation is enough TO stamp IL with con-
demnation.
There were poker games IN the commit
tee rooms. and the sideboards were
stocked with the best lidufd refreshnent
which could be bought with the contin-
gent fund. There were the house and
senate bars. where everyone from the
most respected citizen to the lowest

The LAST shance-Tyler Decision.

Washington City. April 1s.-The case OF
the Last Chance Mining Company vs..
the Tyler Mining Company. involving
property In Idaho. was decided by the
United States supreme court today. The
case came 10 this court from the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Ninth circuit on "a motion for a writ of
certiorari made by the Last Chance
company. The decision of the court OF
appeals was In the interest OF the Tyler
company. the decision OF the supreme
court rendered today reverses the deeis-
ion and and is In the interest of the
Last Chance company. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Brewer The
supreme court opinion does not go into
the merits of the more important ques-
tons presented in the case except TO
point them out. but Is confined TO thu
mere matter OF the validity OF the
Judgment rendered By the Idaho dis
trict court by which the case was first
brought. The district court pass
ed only upon the question of
priority of location and it's decision was
favorable 10 the Last Chance Company
The case was appealed to the United
States circuit court, which held that the
Judgment I'm the district court had beer
Improperly adiudged In evidence and re-
verSed the district court IT is upon this
point that today's decision turns. The
supreme court oNeT-ruies this and holds
that the district courts decision was
based upon unsound principles. hence the
case Is rcmaaded With Instructions TO
grant n new trial one OF the important
questions involved. which will probably
10 brought out in the new trial which
has been ordered. and which may ulti-
fnately bring the case 90 the supreme
court, Is whether the owner Of a min
eral vein has the right 20 follow the vein
outside of the boundaries of the
claim extending downward when IL enters
al an end line and passes out az a side
line Justice Brewer said this was ap-
parently a question not covered by the
statute and that IL has never been passed
upon by the court
