The Kaiser's Children Shopping.

The royal children have exchanged
gifts chosen with much solicitous delhi

one happening TO be in the shop at the

with her children, each provided with
his own purse, and completing his pur-
chuses aside so that the others might
be surprised. The younger three
princes demanded the advice of their

RFGTsTRTToN Bill.

4U buO nNCI6SO 1CuuUE ~ 10 UlknGuA1
enough with first, second and third
readings, amendments and enactments
in the the two Houses Of the Genera
Assembly to determine just when bill
has become law, but when 1t comes
to the matter of registration in the
Legislature at Dover an expert can
scarcely unravel the matter sufficiently
to make it plain. The Index of
Thursday said:
The fine tangle into which both
Houses of this General Assembly sue
ceeded in tying themselves last week
over the registration bills before them,
has now developed into veritable
snarl.
The history of this most peculiar leg
lslative proceedings on the registr alton
measures, is as follows:
During the frSt Of last week, the
Senate killed both the Commission bill
and Whiteman bill. The next day,
the vote on the latter was re-consid-
cred, and The bill referred back to COM
mittee. Later in the week, it was re !
ported and again killed; and the COM
mission bill was resurrected and passed.
This was on Friday. On Monday of
this week the vote on the Comm ission
bill was re-considsred, and that bill
killed, and the twice dead Whiteman
bill passed.
Thus stood matters in the Senate.
The Commission bill having been pass
ed once and killed twice;the Whiteman
bill having been killed twice and pass
ed twice. A veritable harvest Of leg
islatiye mortality and resurrection.
The proceedings in the House fur
nish an equally interesting bit of his
tory. In that body the Whiteman
bill was first, practically, repudiated;
and the Commission bill then passed.
When the Whitemsn bill was sent to
the House from the Senate on last
Monday, 1t was killed by the adoption
Of motion to indefinitely postpone its
further consideration, and By the de-
feat Of a motion to reconsider that vote.
By all approved rules Of legislative
proceeding such action is supposed to
put final quiotus to any and every
bill so acted upon. The House, how
ever, has shown itself not hide bound
by petty precedents. for on the very
following day, it rose to meet the oc-
casion by having all these former pre-
ceedings expunged from its journal.
Decidedly, clean licking of the plat
ter.
Now conference committee Of both
branches has been appointed to per-
form the mighty labor of bringing or
der out of this chaos.
Such is the history of this extraordi-
nary piece Of non-legislation. It's re-
suits are, however, more apparent.
This registration snarl and tangle has
put off indefinitely the day Of adjourn.
ment. Through it, and because of it,
the people are to pay no Insignificant
increase Of dollars.
Truly it is most lamentable state
of affairs. It is state which calls for,
and which demands, prompt and de-
cisive action on the part Of the men of
sense and conscience in this General
Assembly. If this legislative knot
cannot-be united, let it be cut. There
must come an end some time, but IN
less something decisive is done, that
end is still dubious.
This Legislature needs watchword
and motto. We will furnish it
gratis-ACT.

A Dress. Goods Argument
AND SOME PRICES.

Plain fabrics-coverts, Venetians,
poplins, Whipcords, and the like,
are in great demand this year by
women of fine taste. But plain
goods call for a care in the buying.
Be sure, first of all, of the quality
therein lies the beauty. Very
low priced dress goods have their
uses, but avoid them in plain
weaves.-This group will give safe
and good selection
Plain color Poplins, 81 to SI.75
Mixed color PopIins, 81 Is to $l50
Covert Cloths, ST to Sl.75
Whipcord Coverts, SIPS to SITS
There will be need for dresses of
rather tougher weave, for outing at
least; many will choose them for
all wear. So here are the CheViets
and Serges. 75c to $1.75. and
fancy weaves from 371zc.
BLACK GOODS-High in favor,

WAR ITEMS.

The term "Old Glory" as applied
to our flag appears to have originated
within the past ten years. At least its
current use dates within that time.
The inde6niteness of It's origin has
given an opportunity for many TO say
that they FIRST used it, but there is
ground for reasonable doubt whether
any one Of these claimants could pro-
duce the substantial evidence required
in cases of copyright.
A modern warship can fire all the
ammunition she can carry in two hours
steady firing of all her guns.
People are literally begging the
United States for chance to lend the
government money for the war at 3peF

proof Of the strength OF the country
than this eagerness Of capitalists to
lend money at low rate of interest.

his own crew enter the harbor OF Ha-
vana by night and throw q dynamite
bomb into Morro Castle, if the Govern
ment will guarantee to purchase the
vessel at the conclusion Of the perfor-

to this programme is the desire OF the
