BELLS RANG FOR HOOK.
How Leavenworth Learned of the
Nomination for United States
District Judge.

Leavenworth, Jan. 3O.-News of the
nomination of William c. Hook for
United States district judge for Kansas
was made public on its receipt by the
ringing of the court house bell and of
bells throughout the city. The delay in
sending the name to the senate had
caused some anxiety among Mr.. Hooks
friends. Mr.. Hook is in Washington.
He is expected home by the middle of
the week Mrs. Hook is visiting rela-
tives in Springfield, O., and he will
visit there a short time before coming
west. There will probably be a recep-
ton an his arrival and banquet later.
There has been some talk that the
appointment of Mr.. Hook would lead to
the dissolution of the law firm of Baker,
Hook & Atwood, and that Mr.. Atwood
might locate in Kansas City. In refer
ring to this Mr.. Atwood said that effort
had been made to get him and ex-At-
torney General Louis Boyle to locate in
Kansas City together, but he had de-
cidad not to do Mr.. Atwood said
with the retirement of Mr.. Hook he
expected the firm to continue as Baker
& Atwood. AS Mr.. Hook will qualify
March l it is doubtful whether he will
appear in court again before assuming
his new duties.

Flower Girl al the Theater.

The directors of La Scala theater,
which had it's opening performance yes
terday have just performed an annual
office that comes to them as a tradition
of the house-the selection of the Mil
anese flower girl, who alone for the sea-
son shall have the right to sell her deli
cate merchandise to the patrons of this
world famed opera house. The mOnOp-
oily is much in demand among these
girls> and this year. as always there
has been keen rivalry for the appoint
ment. Disappointment is hard for the
hundreds who must be disappointed.
but the choosing is no less hard for
those who must disappoint so many
equally pretty girls-for beauty is the
criterion.-Milan Letter in the Chicago

LEFT-HAND DEVELOPMENT.

EFrom the London Chronicle
Left-handed facility among the school
children is a subject that is receiving
much serious attention from the school
authorities in Germany with a view
to developing both hands and arms
equally while the children are young.
They argue that the right hand has
been so solely developed that many
efforts which might easily be delegated
to the left hand are undertaken by the
right. The smallest objects, as a rule,
are picked up by the right hand. Such
one-sided movements, repeated con-
stantly, have their influence on the en-
tire system, and are not conducive to
the symmetry of the body.
The habit of people to carry children
on the left arm, so as to have the right
hand free, tends to make the left shout
der higher than the right In such cases
the cure must date from childhood In
the boys mechanical departments in the
German schools much of the work is
done by the left hand under eompulsion
The boys are taught to saw, plane and
hammer with the left hand as we'll as
with the right In all trades and pro-
fessions involving heavy hand work
the Importance Of being able to use both
hands equally we'll is being impressed
upon the students AS example the
case of a bronze worker is cited He
could work as effectively with his left
hand as with his right That made it
possible for him to change off when his
right hand became tired

GIRLS SACRIFICED

New York, Jan. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Manila says:
1.-THE Spanish civil prisoners have not
yet been released. Tales of suffering
hunger and dishonor come from the
provinces. Young Spanish girls are
forced to live in open shame with low
born Indians. Their parents being pow
erless, appealed to Aguinaldo. His re-

BAKER AND BURTON
Now Pitted Against Each Other, With
Leland on Bakers Side.

Republican politicians are specializing
as to the effect on future campaigns in
Kansas the recent shoulder to shoulder
fight made by Senator Baker and Cy
Leland for the appointment of Judge
Hook will have. The relations between
Baker and Leland have been somewhat
strained for two years but it is now
said a truce has been arranged and
that they will be found fighting to-
gether in the senatorial election before
the legislature two years hence.
Cy Leland viii in all probability be
candidate if for no other purpose than
to have a few friends for him so that he
will be able to WELD an important in
f1uence in the election OF the next Sena-
tor from Kansas.
Senator Baker will be a candidate for
reelection. He has said so and already
J. r. Burton is after his scalp. But
there is another feature which has al
ready appeared and that is the candi-
dacy of I. z. Lambert for senator Lam
bert pushed Major Hood forward four
wears ago and lost. Lambert is popular
and would cut an important figure in
the fight for this place Yet, Mr.. Lam
bret is a Baker man throughout. He
was the first man appointed to office by
Mr.. Baker and Lambert has never been
rated a man who goes back on his
friends.
And this proposition presents another
peculiar phase. Leland'S reputation as
a politician was hanging in the balance
on the Hook appointment Had Hook
failed Leland would have failed and
Burton would have been triumphant At
the present stage OF the game Burton
is dead politically and will have to start
his campaign for senator over again
This has been his ambition for six
years. 1t is now believed that Leland
has agreed TO stand by Baker for re-
election and that Lambert will also at
the proper time. throw his strength to
Baker, which with the influence the SEN
ator has already attained with the 9th =

reelection. The A1baugh faction of the

AN EXTRA SESSION.

A special from Washington
says:
There is a growing belief
among prominent members of
Congress that the President
will call Congress to meet in
extraordinary session this fall,
probably early in October. The
questions which will come be-
fore the next Congress for set
Element, including as they do
everything growing out of our
possessions acquired as a result
of the war with Spain, and the
general legislation, including
that relating to currency re-
form, the Nicaragua canal, mer-
chant marine, etc, are Of such
great Importance that the Pres
idont is inclined to regard it as
advisable that Congress should
meet earlier than the regular
session in December, i'm order
to get the work under way. The
retirement of Speaker Reed will
naturally entail considerable
delay in the appointment of
committees in the House, as it
is customary to allow a new
Speaker four or five weeks to
make up his committees, and
this furnishes an additional
reason why Congress should be
convened before December. To
several Senators and members
of Congress who are going
abroad this summer the Pres
ident has particularly inquired
as to the length of their stay.
and has limited that it was adj
visable that they should be
back i'm the early fall, as the
necessity for an extra session
might arise.
