THE SMALLEST TREE.
A Willow Which Flourishcs on the
Bridger Mountains.

California, is noted for it's large trees.
Now it is about to be demonstrated that
Montana is the home of the smallest
tree eXtant. Until recently this wonder
was unknown to botany. 1t is only an
inch and a half high and was recently
found on the summit of the Bridger
mountains, in this state by DR.. Ryd-
berg, a botanist of note from New
York.
This Species said Prof. N. l.. Brit

tor-in- chief of the New York botanical
garden. lis entirely new to us 1t is the
very smallest willow tree to be found
anywhere. and tlourishes to some eX
tent on the Bridger mountains. It's
pigmy height is due to the extreme eX
posture of the mountain top. We can
not plant it here. as weather conditions
would quickly kill it off, but a number
of preserved specimens will be exhib-
tied in the botanical museum in the
Bronx. when that building is completed

The case of attempting to eXtort
money against Mrs. G. Fl. Jewett, the
clairVoyant known as Madame Guy
was dismissed by Justice Harrington
yesterday on motion Of the county at
torney. Madame Guy was arrested on
the charge mentioned in connection
with the sensational poisoning charges
made by Miss c. Fl. Anderson some
days ago. Since that time the poison
story has been exploded and as the
county attorney was unable to get any
evidence against Madame Guy, Deputy
Roy Alley asked for the dismissal of
the case.

About half way between Cumberland
and Martinsburg. on the second diviS-
ion of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. is
a picturesque spot known as Doe Gully.
There is quite a little hill at this point
that the road goes through, and the
approaches of this tunnel include sew
eral reverse curves. The company has
been engaged for the past two months
in removing these curves and reducing
the grades. The chief engineer says
that the improvement will do away
with one of the most objectionable
pieces of track on the second division,
since seven curves were eliminated,
and will remove four reverse curves. 1t
will not only make a much better rid
ing track for fast trains. but materially
assist the westbOund freights in climb

JEWELERS. IN MANILA.
They Are All Women and Are Pos
sessed of Marvellous Skill
In Their Work.

One OF the odd features of the Philip
pines is the jewelers., whose skill is mar
velous. They are all women, and it is
strange that in other lands women have
not gone into this, the daintiest snd
most esthetic Of employment. The
shops are small and gloomy and the
stock displayed is meager and unsatis-
factory. But if one wants to buy the
jewelers. will exhibit such treasures
that any pocbetbook is too lean to buy
all the pretty things desired.
Necklaces Of pale pink coral, statu-
cites OF the coral, rosaries with beads
exquisite in shape and tint; pendants
and chains Of pearls, white and pink
and yellow-all these are to be seen.
There are bewilderingly varied lot
OF garnets shown, blood, orange and
yellow, the latter set in silver; silver
hhgree work is popular ana small bowls
Of mother-of-pearl. Gold is worked up
IN pattern like lace. The women buy
the crude gold, make their own alloys,
draw out the wire thread and beat n
with hammers. They are equally skill
ful with silver and do delicate fiiligree
work, very original and striking. 'se-

MANY pUzzLERs.
In Deciphering Them the London
Postal Department Has Ac-
quilted Itself FavOrabIy.

AS corollary to the recently issued re-
port of the postmaster general, where
the item of insuficiently or obscurely
addressed letters is dealt with, it may
be noted that the department had had
many tough tasks to deal with, and has
acquitted itself triumphantly, says the
London Telegraph. Once an envelope
intrusted to it on which was inscribed
--"Grofredevi, London"-sent from
Italy-was delivered to the eminent sci
enlist, Sir Humphrey Davy.
But perhaps St. Martins most sur
passeditself on points of cuteness, when
recently letterreached thcauthorities
which had been posted at Inverness,
bearing the rude scrawl: "Tuglmor.
pipe, Colstraly." Every person was
puzzled. Then it was decided, consid-
ering the quarter whence the missive
was sent, TO call III the services of an
ex-soldier of a Highland regiment,
Gaelic speaker, who was employed as a
mail cart driver. This authority thus
read the inscription: "Dugal More,
piper, Gold, Australia" Then the gold
rush to Australia was III full swing,
and Dugai More, it was surmised, was
one of the miners. Months afterward
intelligence reached the department to
the effect that the addressee had been
discoyerd. The letter, which was from
his brother, was delivered to Dugal
while he was delighting his Caledonian
comrades on the gold fields by skirling
on the bagpipes.

A QUAKER WEDDING.
Quaint Nuptiai Ceremony Witnessed
by n Chicagoan visiting In
the East.

A recent Chicago visitor TO the east
writes thus descriptively of Quaker
nuptlal ceremony he had the privilege
OF attending;
at n Quaker wedding last week,
where there were no display, decora-
tions, maids or groomsmen, the air
seemed charged with joy, After ST.
lence of several minutes the guests
arose, and the bridegroom, taking the
hand Of the bride, said: In the Divine
presence and before this assembly !
take Patience B. to be my wife,
promising TO be to her q faithful and
affectionate husband until death shall
separate u.s. The bride responded; L
take thee, John j., to be my hus-
band, promising to be faithful and af-
fectionate wife until death shall sep
arate u.s. A prayer was made, the bride
groom kissed the bride, and after con-
gratulations had been said all re-
paired TO the dining-room, where the
breakfast was spread. The table was
set with the family silver and china,
which had come from England with the
great-grandfather of the bride, and
there was single rose at each corner.
After the breakfast the entire party
accompanied the happy pair across the
meadow to their new home and were
shown the gifts of loving friends. One
Of the guests was heard to say as he
started homeward; What is the use of
all the fuss and worry attendant upon
even a moderately elaborate wedding,
when one can have such sweet time as
that was without themT"

WASHINGTON NEWS,
Repeal OF Territory Liquor
Law to be Urged.

the most important leatuIes VI
congress to Indian Territory peo-
pie will be the appointment of the
members of the committees on In
dian affairs OF the house and SEN
ate. While Speaker Henderson
has no: yet made any definite an
nouncement it is generally under
stood that Representative Charles
Curtis, of Kansas, will be appoint
cd chairman of the house commit
tee. Mr.. Curtis was the second
man on the committee during the
last congress, and as Mr.. Sherman,
Of New York, who was the chair
man, is anxious for an assignment
to more important committee,
Mr.. Curtis is in direct line of pro-
motion. 1t is also announced that
the other members OF tho commit
tee who have been rejected will
retain their old positions.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
will succeed Senator Pettigrew, OF
South Dakota, as chairman of In
dian affairs of the senate. He has
been member of this committee
for many years and is exceptional
ly well qualified for the place.
Among the various laws which
will be urged for passage at the
coming session relating to Indian
Territory will be the extension of
the laws of Arkansas, known as
Mansfeld's Digest, over the Indian
Territory. A bill will be intro
duced on the first day extending
the time for the ratification OF
treaties with the Cherokee and
Greek nations until some time
next spring, in the hope that some
satisfactory agreement may be
reached.
Messrs. Mansfield, McMurray &
Cornish, attorneys of South Meal
ester, have made application at
the Indian Office to have contracts
approved with the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians as their legal
representatives before congress
and the departments. An appli-
plication has also been made for
recommendation TO congress by
the department to allow these two
nations delegates to congress to
look after the interests of the two
nations.

burned. The loss to Mr.. DeYarman

There were several other buildings

Only the superhuman and heroic
work of the department was able to
save the Evans hotel and several other
large buildings.
1t is thought the fires are the work
incendiaries, as while the department
was busy at the hotel, the court house

A Comedy of Errors,

There was an accident on a Portland
street the other day. and this is how it
happened: A tramp walking up the
street saw a benevolent-looking wheel
mar riding down, and started to head
him on. Just then a dog on the same
side OF the street noticed a cat ON
the opposite side and made for 1t. The
dog didn't notice the tramp, and the
wheelman took nc account OF the dog.
The result was that the dog went be-
tween the legs Of the tramp and rolled
that individual over on his back. The
wheelman struck dog and tramp and
took a header over them. The wheel
man struck frantically at the dog and
his blow landed on the nose of the
tramp, while the dog made an assault
on the tramp, and, missing him, made
lie exciting for the wheelman. At
last they untangled themselves and the
tramp and the wheelman trailed bad
language n up and the other down
the street, while the dog stosd and
growled at both. Meanwhile the cat
emerged from a hole in the lumber
pile where she had taken refuge and
watched the three with eyiden. inter.
