extravagance they have a system of computing g
the allowance for carrying the mails whereby

The Bllzns Club-the crack local Re-
publican marching organization-helda
well attended melting last evening in the
chamber OF the first branch OF council,
city building (now hear the Register
how'd, and discussed details OF the trip
TO Washington. For some time it has
been settled that the organization would
be one OF the attractions of the inau-
gural parade that will precede the inau-
guraton OF PresIdent-elect Mckinley,
but none of che details was settled.
At last nights meeting Il was decided
that the club would 90 to Washington,
and after the meeting the members OF
the club gathered again and under the
command OF Captain Travis began drill
ing for that event 1t Is the determine
tlon OF the club to ilrl1l quite frequently
during January and February, and Il IS
predicted that no club In the line Will be
better drilled than Wheelings crack
club, which created so favorable an i'm
preston everywhere 1t went during the
late campaign.
At the meeting there was an inquiry
from members as to what arrangements
had been made for the transportation OF
the club to and from Washington. IL
was stated that an effort was being
made to secure sleepers but that nothing
had been definitely decided. The CLUB
Will endeavor to settle this phase Of the
arrangements as soon as possible. Ihere
is a disinclination evinced IN the club 10
going to the Capital City In day coaches.
There would be the long ride through the
night, the ardunus days dolngs, anu
then the return trip the next night; all
with little or no sleep unless Pullman
sleeperS are had. 1t Is thought, however
thai the effort to secure sieepers Tor the
trip will be successful. II Is expected
that 100 uniformed members Of the club
Will make the trip.
The club is also rather anxious az 10
the result Of Senator Elkins' Efforts to Sc
cure the club a good position In the line

forming the parade Is TO place the or

Praise to the Face.

I once saw father walk up to a
map his little boy had made and
pinned on the wall. He stood before
it long time IN silence, and in silence
walked away. The little fellow was
sitting in the room, and his father
knew he was there. He was watching
with his eager child's eyes, waiting
anxiously for word of approval. AS
rene came, his poor little face fell
unhappily. Straight into the next room
walked the father, and said carelessly:
Robert has drawn very clever lit
tie map in there. Look at it when you
go in"
"Did you tell him it was clever?"
asked judicial listener, following from
the room where little Robert still sat-
why, no. I ought to have done so.
I never thought to mention it."
"Well, you ought to be ashamed of
yourself" was the deserved reply.

The Mind Of President Mckinley cnder.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The proposed
message of the President to Congress,
recommending the appointing of q
commission to consider the question Of
a revision of the currency and ma
tional banking laws. will not be trans
mitted to-day, nor for several days, if
at all, which is matter of doubt
Senators Allison and Quay, Repre-
sentative Dingley and other party
leaders called at the White house this
morning and had long conference
with the president. They urged him
to reconsider his determination to
send a special currency message to
Congress, and gave as reason that
the sentiment in Congress was such
that it would be likely to arouse feel
ing and cause friction that would de-
lay speedy final action on the tariff
bill
After the conference Secretary Por-
ter announced to the newspaper men
that it had been decided that it would
not be expedient to send in the mes
sage to-day, and that it would not go
in for several days at least and might
be deferred altogether during the spe-
cial session Of Congress.

Be watchful and Learned.

Recently small boy, a real boy, who
chases cats and wears out his clothes
and slams the door, showed that he had
rare ability in solving the problems
and answering the questions that so
frequently come into boys life.
Near the house was tall maple tree,
and the boy announced, late in the
summer, that the tree measured 80
feet
"How do you know" he was asked.
His answer was, 81 measured it,
Ibid you climb it,"
"Why, no." the boy said, with sur
prise: st measured the shadow.
Some one near him made the COM
ment that shadows differ in length. He
said, Eyes, but twice day the shadows
are just as long as things themselves.
All summer / have been trying to get
the height of that tree. drove stick
into the ground, and when the shadow
of the stick was just as long as the
stick, I knew the shadow of the tree
would be just as long as the tree. l
measured it. and it was just 80 feet
