A TRYING CUSTOM.

1t is estimated that President McKin-
ley has within the past five weeks given
personal audience to over $4,000 people
beside the $4,000 with whom he has
shaken hands at public receptions. There
is tradition in Washington that the
White house was located at what was at
one time remote distance from the
capitol, in order to remove the president
as far as possible from the interference
and importantly of the Office seeking con-
stituents of senators and representatives.
If this was the design it has proved a
notifying failure. Place hunters have
abolished distance and take no note of
time, and the president so far from being
lodged in calm retreat might as we'll be
left standing in the rotunda of the capi-
toll.
This is more than flesh and blood can
stand for any protracted period, and it is
generally and specially great outrage.
The vast majority of the host who beset
the president, who crowd upon him at all
hours of the day and night, want some
thing of course. They come to impor-
tune him for Office, to beg, to coax, to
bully, to praise themselves to villify some
body else, in short to bore, to vex, to
irritate, to fatigue, and to wear out the
chief executive
Every president has been subjected to
this kind of treatment, and every one has
protested against it to no purpose. Its
effect may be seen in the case of Mr..
Mckinley. He is man of splendid
sociable and companionable by
nature and training, but giving audience
to $4,000 people in five weeks has proved
too much for him, and he has gone to
drown his sorrows in the healing waters
of Chesapeake bay. 1t is indeed a great
thing to be president of the United
States

The Pecos valley, enjoying great
many natural advantages denied other
sections of the territory is doubly blessed
at present as being the objective point
of large sums of capital, to be expended
in developing this fertile and we'll watered
region. There are land reclamation
schemes and railroad projects galore,
and from these numerous prospective
enterprises, some good must come, even
while they are yet in an embryotic state.
Immigration follows closely upon pro.
iected railroad development, but there
can be no doubt that these recently or.
ganized corr orations mean business, and
that the consummation Of the various
projects now on paper, will be only
matter of time.

prune with white figures not too large,
bid fair to outrival the long popular blue
and white. An attractive way of making
up this fabric shows combination of
colors which is artistic. The gown lie
plum colored. The skirt is made separ-
ate and Joined at the band only, to a
foundation skirt of absinthe green taffeta.
Insertions of white net edged with white
Valenciennes lace are let into the silk
and through them the lining is visible,
making pretty combination.
The waist Is made with vest front of
net trimmed with ruffles of the Valenci
ennes lace over lining of white satin.
Insertions of the net decorate the edges
of the waist. The neck aud belt are
finished with folds of green silk used for
the lining. A bow of silk is worn as a
tie. A rosette of the silk edged with
ruffies of the Valenciennes lace finishes
the printed belt in front. The back OF
the waist is seamless, smooth across the
shoulders and gathered into the belt.

Hawaiian Annexation.

The renewal of activity for annexation
of the islands at this time means that the
Hawaiians are going to hold the Repub-
lican party to its promise of annexation.
Up to the time the last administration
took an interest in the fortunes of the de-
posed queen the uniform and unvarying
attitude maintained by all previous ad-
ministrations from the time of the &C.
QUESTION of California was that our para
mount position on the Pacific coast made
it political necessity that these islands
be prevented from passing into the
hands of any foreign nation, and that
when the opportune time came they
should be annexed to the United States.
If the maintenance of that attitude for so
many years meant anything the Hawaiian
government expects now to accomplish
annexation.-Sioux City journal.

"What was there so remarkable about

about poker"
"A little unusual in a college youth, but
l shouldn call it SO very remarkable I've
known others who didn't know anything
at all about poker"

know anything about the game, but he

it, Most Of them think they know it ALL.

Colorado Ia Modest.

Colorado wants population to fill its
100000 square miles of territory with l, ;
100000 inhabitants in place of the 100000
inhabitants which it now owns. To this
many people it offers 100000 acres of
land that can be irrigated from the water
resources of which the state has an un-
limited quantity; and it offers as many
more acres which can be redeemed by the
new process of "dry farming."-Denver

vertising and calling attention to her
