q question Of personal privilege In the
senate to-day, Mr.. Lindsay. OF Ken
lucky, commented sharply on the mo-
tlves OF the author and promoters OF the
resolution recently passed by the legisla-
ture OF Kentucky demanding his res!g-
nation as senator. Mr.. Lindsay. after
defining HE position upon the financial
question. made Il clear that he was the
representative OF the whole people Of
Kentucky and not in any sense the agent
of the Kentucky legislature. Above all
he was, he said, senator for the whole
American people and as such would per-
form his duties and cast his vote in ac-
cordance with his convictions and with
the dictates Of his Coincidence. III
He said: with the relations existing
between a senator and his constituency
this body has generally no concern. But
there are exceptional cases In which
senator may be justified In calling at
;entlon to transactions, semi-oiIlc!al In
their character which II left unexplained
might create the impression that he
stands officially charged with conduct
which would render him unworthy OF a
seat on this floor and an unfit associate
for his fellow senator's.

The Hawaiian Situation.

The Hawaiian Islands have for
a great many years been under
the protection of the United States
and we have acquired title to the
best harbor in the islands as Il
coaling station. \ variety ofrea
sons, racial and commercial. local
and international, have made il
highly desirable for the islands
themselves that they should be
placed under the flag of the
United States. Most people in
this country who possess 4 sense
of the moral fitness of things have
heen of the opinion that We should
either let the Hawaiian Islands
alone, relinquiShing all peculiar
claims Of every tharacter, or else
that We should allow them the
very reasonable privilege Of iloat-

How to Measure an Acre.

\ measuring cord should be part
Of the furniture on every farm.
TO make one procure 81 feet Of
strong rope, one inch around;
make a loop or faSten ring or a
bar at each end, and make these
precisely G6 feet apart. This Is
lourrodS. Then tie a piece of red
rag in the center. One acre OF
ground will be Il piece four of
these cords (c!.ains) long and two
and one half wide, equal to IL by
10 rods, making 100 square rods
to one acre. The advantage Of the
wing or loop is that one por>on
can measure alone by driving Il
stake in the ground to hold the
rope while he stretches it out. The
rope should be soaked III tar and
dried which will prevent il from
shrinking when wet.

A Brother of the Admiral.

Hon. Charles Dewey of Montpelier,
president of the National Lite Insurance
company, and a brother of Rear Admiral
George Dewey, was in Sioux City, Ia, re-
Gently and was interviewed by reporter
of the Omaha Bee. In the course of the
interview he said
There have been some stories printed
in the papers that he was disappointed at
being assigned to the Asiatic squadron in
stead of Europe. The European assign
ment is considered the choicest thing in
the navy and it was of, red to him. Tie
fact that he did not go there has given ri. g
to the report that he was supplanted by
action of the department; but he was not
superse ded in any such way. He planned
and figured to be allowed to 60 the Asiatic
squadron instead. He secured the aid of
Senator Proctor of Vermont, who was for
merly secretary of war, and he wrote a
very urgent letter to the president himself.
Finally the president directed the assign
ment to the Asiatic squadron which he had
asked. He had declared, you remember,
that the United States would hear first fl, m
the Orient, and it did"

Death of Arthur H. StOdder.

Arthur H. Stodder, aged 10, nephew
Of Mrs. Henry A. Wheeler, died Sunday
at his home in West Somerville, Mass,
under very peculiar circumstances.
The young man, who was clerk in the
store of Jordan, Marsh & Co., was quite
devoted to athletic pursuits and kept HIM
self in excellent training. Being in fine
condition aside from the muscles of his
neck, which he fancied we're trife weak,
he determined to strengthen them by
means of machine that with strap under
the chin and around the body holds the
trainer securely while allowing sufficient
movement to exercise the muscles of the
neck.
When found Sunday morning young
Stodder was in this machine bat his body
had dropped, owing to some miscarriage
ment OF the appliance, SO that the strap
under bis chin had choked him to death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler went to West
Somerville to attend the funeral which was
held Wednesday.
