was very handsome, one or those large
white felt affairs, with waving ostrich
plumes, and trimmed with Vaiencienes lace.
1t cost a good, round sum, but then she had
worn IL season, and it wouldn't possibly
do.
Upon reaching the establishment where
all the bewitching affairs ladies wear

her handsome headpiece and placing ii
on table where some of the newest hats
were placed. In a few moments she was

This was what led him TO look at all the

her association, in an official ca
pacity, with certain politicians
who spent the greater part or the summer
here. She heard them talk so much Of
the many good things they had to eat
that she grew dissatisfied and decided to
change her boarding place. one oftheafore-
said politicians was telling her experience
to some of mis- friends yesterday.
She concluded she would confine her
search the first evening to the square in
which she was already living, and started
out Immediately after O'Clock dinner.
AT the first house she stopped she was met
by lady dressed in a flaming red tea
gown.
No, we don't keep no boarders here
was the response to the explanation fur
nished by the young lady
Not disheartened She went to another
house A ''culled gentleman opened the
door and insisted on the young lady walk
ing upstairs, but she rather insisted on
going into the parlor. She drew back in
horror, though, as she pushed the portleres
to one side and saw a coffin.
'Oh, it's oniy one OF the boarderS, was
the assuring enCoura cement of the culled
gen'leman,'' but she insisted on going
further on.
At the next house visited she was greeted
with the sudden appearance of a little
man, who seemed To have jumped out of
a box, the lid of which was thrown off by
the touch on the door button. He was the
husband of the lady who kept the house
and she had just gone out for the first
time in twenty years The young lady
thought il would be too bad to call her
| back, and came To the conclusion she would
go back home.
| The next day she told the head politi-
| clan Of the lot that she had concluded to
| remain where she was. She had one favor

proceedings. Yesterday they de-

an unconstitutional prayer. Ma jor
Jonas who is chairma n of the body, has not
yet appointed a committee to take action,
but is seriously contemplating such step.
They base their claim of unco institution
ality on these grounds:
Dr. Milburn during the course OF his in
vocation prayed for the President, the
Vice Presidents, the Cabinet, the diplo-
matte corps, the Senate, the House OF
Representatives. and all 9th ers in au-
thority. The supporters OF the Consti-

The Constitution names the departments

ton is made to DR.. Milburn's placing the
executive first in his prayer.

MILLIKEN'S DEFENSE.
Says He was Drunk and Did Not
Know He was Entering Miss
Phillips Room.

Washington, D. c., March 19.-Benja-
min III. Milliken. the Tennesseean who
is on trial on a charge of HOUSEKEEPING
and intent to assault Miss Gertrude
Phillips, daughter of eX-Solicitor Cen
eral Phillips, was the principal witness
today. His testimony closely followed
the line of the defense laid down by
Judge Goodbe, his counsel, in his open
ing argument yesterday; namely. that
MiIliken was drunk and had entered
Miss Phillips room unwittingly and
while not in condition to know where
he was.
Milliken testified that he INDUCED free
ly in whisky punches on July 4. that he
called at Miss Phillips home in the even
ing and after sending up a gift had en-
tered the parlor Then he fell asleep by
reason of his over indulgence i'll intoxi-
cants, and on awakening, supposlng hlm-
self to be at home, retired, as he thought,
to his room. The liquor had dazed him
and he failed to realize his mistake until
finally confronted by Judge Phillips, the
eX-solicitor-general and father OF the
young lady.
His story was corroborated by 3. f.
Johnson, a Washinqtonian VINO was
with Milliken throughout the day and
who testified to his intoxicated condition.
Other witnesses for the defense included
United States Senators Harris and Bate
of Tennessee, for the former of whom
Milliken had been private secretary; eX-
District-Attorney McCorry of the West
ern Tennessee district and j. w. Dorch,
a Tennesseean, all of whom testified to
the defendants previous reputation.

rectly by the commission through the

the matter has been parcelled out among
the individual members of the commits

there was a comparison of the results
obtained thus far. This work is ex-
pccted to last some time and it is prob
able that the commission will hold daily
