Plans for the New Brewer
Block Completed.
Many Other Buildings Conte M
piated-Le wers g. Cooke
Warehouse.

There are number of new business
blocks in contemplation which If com
ple,ed viii prove great additions to
The city. Some of these may not be
built for some time owing TO various
reasons, but the time is not very far
distant when three and four story
buildings in the business portion of the
city will be the rule rather than the
exception.
One OF these about which there IS no
doubt Is the new Brewer building on
Fort street where the stores OF J. j
Egan and T. May are at present. Com
petitiye pans were submitted and that
Of o. G. Traphagen was accepted. ThC
only thing that they are now waiting
for is the recovery OF Mr.. May so tnat
the final arrangements may be COM
pleted.
The new building will he a fye-story
one. 1t Is to cost about $4,000 which
Is 10000 more than the Judd Building
cost. The lower floor will be occupied
by the same firms which are now on
the premises. The upper floors will
be divided into Offices. 1t Is intended
that this building shall be a model Of
fine architecture and good workman
ship. No expense will be spared in the
carrying out Of the proposed plans.
Another new building which is talk
ed of Is one to be built on King street
opposite the Arlington Hotel. II this
Is carried ou' It will be built by Lew
ers & Cooke. Part OF the proposed site
belongs to the Brewer estate and the
remaining portion belon~s to- the Aus
tin estate. There has been some diff
Guilty in arranging the leases, but II
this Is settled satisfactorily to all par
ties the building will be begun at once.
A three-story building on the Austin
property opposite the Gazette Office is
also in contemplation. II built the
lower floor will probably be taken up
with one large store. The upper floors
will be all In ofices.

Anderson, Miss Bessie Anderson, Miss
lmgard Andersen and Lieut.. Allen, his
sOn n-in-law, General Anderson Is On his
way home fulfill ng an order from the
War Department which reached him
last January in Manila but which re-
manned in allegiance until he could ac
complish with his command the first
expedition, some of the most important
movements Of the war in the PhIlip-
pines.
The assignment OF his brigade was
the opening up Of the Pasig River, d.
yiding the insurgont forces and driv-
| ing those south into the back country.
General Anderson sailed from Manila
March 2Gth, relinquishng his com
mand to General Lawton, who, accord
ing to the latest dispatches was har-
lass!ng the FilipinOs around Malolos.
According to General Anderson the
FiHpinos are stin under great ignor-
Iance regarding the mission OF the Uni
ted States troops in the Philippines
They continue to fear a repetition OF
the barbarous practices of their Span
lish masters, dreading a return to the
past. Few Of the natives speak Span
ish or English, T'agalos being the chief
dialect in which few of the foreigners
are adopts. making 1t well nigh impos-
s'ble to explain the situation to the
Filipinos by the American commission.
General Andersons army cleared the
Pasig river, capturing the villages be-
tween Manila and Leguna Bay. Ma
lolos was then made the point OF at
tack and the capture had about taken
place before General Anderson's de-
parture from Manila.
There are about 10000 troops in
L,lzon," said Gen. Anderson, "of whom
about $1,000 are good for active SER
vice. There Is no resistance on the
other islands except Negros. There
Is no epidemic and considering the
tropical climate the United States
troops have enjoyed very good health.
True there have been many sick at
times but our general efficiency has
never been impaired"
General Anderson was a major-gen-
oral Of volunteers wHen he passed
through Honolulu last summer. He
now returns as brigader-general Of
the regular army. Some OF the many
| friends he made while here with the
first expedition called on him yester-
day. Col. J. w. Jones, n. G. H., paid
! his respects early In the morning and
! in the afternoon the entire family Of
General Anderson and his two aides
Lieut.. Wm. Anderson. Jr., and Lieut.
Allen, were taken for n long drive
around Punchbowl and down TO Wal
kild by Chief Justice Judd. II will be
remembered that General Anderson Is
a vice-president OF the Sons OF the
American Revolution, OF "-hich Chief
Justice Judd Is president for the Ha-
wai'an chapter.
The General dincd rt the Hawaiian
Hotel and went aboard the America
Maru Just before that vessel sailed for
San Francisco about 10 O'Clock last
night.

Especial Washington letter.


Geographical conditions are always
taken into consideration by the poll
ticians of all political parties in their
state and national conventions, and
candidates for office are selected in
many instances because they reside in
a certain state or in a certain part of
a state.
For example, when a legislature
chooses a United States senator ii takes
into consideration the location of the
homes of the aspirants for tina honor
able position. In Vermont the noun
tain range divides the state into east
ern and western divisions, and the leg
islature always selects senators from
those divisions. Other states are sim
ilarly divided by imaginary lines.
You may observe that the senators
from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Missouri and other
states reside respectively in the east
ern and western sections OF those
states. The Iowa senators are from
the northern and southern sections of
that state. So that, no matter how or
when the custom originated, it obtains,
and geographical conditions receive
recognition.
When the state of Montana first Sc
lected its senators, both of them. Pow
ers and Sanders, were chosen from the
city of Helena; and that is said to be
the only instance in which two senator's
were selected from the same city.
Even Montana has reversed that order
and has now two senator's from differ
ent parts of the state.
During the coming year there will
be national conventions of the great
political parties to nominate candi-
dates for the offices of president and

An Ippocent Critic.

Gov. Roosevelt is always glad of a
laugh. A short time ago he enjoyed
an opportunity and paid for it,. The
incident happened while he was visit
ing Cornell university during a eonyen-
ton. The students, glad of a chance to
display their enthusiasm, entertained
the governor at one of the fraternity
houses. Just as he was about TO leave,
one of his staff said to him:
Governor, the boys have the founda-
ton of a capital library. and ! think
they would appreciate a copy Of your
Rough Riders"
"An right, boys" said the governor,
heartily. I'll be glad to send you a
copy with my compliments. The book
would be but a small return for your
hospitality"
whereupon one of the students broke
in. e~xcitedly:
That's so. governor, I've read it,

Something silly.

Sturdy Sammy Sampson sought
sweet Sally Stevens society so solicit
tously-several social societies sew
orally said sententiously: 'Sallie's sure
ly secured Sammie! Sallie's Sammie's
sweetheart! Sammie's Sallie's slave!
Society shall soon see something start
ling!'
Saturday Sallie sat sewing steadily,
singing softly. Suddenly seeing Sam
mics shadow. she seized scissors,
shipped savagely, still singing softly.
Sammie said, slyly: Sweetheart,
sing Sammy something sadly sweet"
Sallie started-seemingly surprised
saying: Sammy Simpson, stop saying
such silly stuff. Spoony sentiment
sounds soft. Say something sensible"
So Sammy s~traightway said: Sweet
est Sallie, set something soon" Sallie
serenely said: Say Sunday" Surely,
sure" shouted Sammie, supremely sat-
isied.

for the presidency, and hence he cannot
aspire to hat Office. His parents
brought him to this country when he
was only six years old, and hence he is
thoroughly In American, having
knowledge of no other country except

gagged in many battles, and lost a leg

PASSING COUNTERFEIT.
A Highly Skilled Trade at which
upper Class showers" Are
successful.

Counterfeit money showers" form a
distinct class of criminals, said an old
federal officer, apropos of the recent I'M
loading of bogus five-dollar bills in New
Orleans. They have nothing to do with
making the queer" but simply put it
in circulation. They go about their
work very Systematically, and reduce
the chances of detection to a minimum.
A wolnan shower. for example, starts
out to unload on the big retail stores.
Her dress is quiet but elegant, and she
has the surface appearance of a refined
lady. In her hand is a pocketbook con-
tanning one bad bill and a number of
good ones. She goes into a store, makes
some trihing purchase. tenders the
counterfeit and pockets the change. As
she passes put she brushes against a
boy, who slips her another queer bill
and then drops back a few PAGES in the
crowd. In that way she makes the
rounds, and if she understands her
business she can get rid of al astonish-
ing number of counterfeits in the
course of a few hours. If the bill she
offers is detected on the spot she never
attempts any argument. Dear mel"
she exclaims, II wonder if have any
more of the borrid thingsi" and there
upon she empties her pocketbook on
the counter and asks the clerk to ex-
anime the money and see whether it is
all right. In ninety-nine cases out of
one hundred that disarms suspicion at
once. If she happens TO be arrested
only one bill is found in her possession,
and there is nothing to ~disproye her as
sertion that she received ii somewhere
in change. Meanwhile, the boy who
carries the roll quietly disappears.
Often he sells newspapers as a blind.
'Have n paper, miss?" he will cry, and
hands the shower a bin under the fold
ed sheet. Altogether, it is a highly
skilled trade. The upper class showers
are very seldom caught.-N. O. Times
Democrat.

E OF THE ANTS.
tendants There Was a Great
COmmOtion.

A gentleman who is very fond of
every living thing, who watches ami
mails carefully that he may learn their
ways, tells a very interesting story of
some ants he once saw. He noticed a
procession of ants going across the
path. This gentleman watched, and,
knowing the ways of ants, knew that
they were emigrating to a new colony
because the old city vas o~vercrowded.
He watched the ants closely to decide
which was the queen. At last he dis
covered her, attended by a guard of
honor. Quickly and carefully he lifted
the queen, and held her in his hand.
She was missed at once, and there
was the greatest excitement. The
guard of honor was seized by the others,
and held under arrest. Ants started
out in every direction to look for the
queen. They looked everywhere, and
returned again and again to learn if
there was any news.
At last the gentleman put the queen
down on the path some distance away
from the point at which he had cap
tured her. She was discovered by one
of the scouts, who hurried back to the
point where the ants had assembled,
and told of his discovery. A guard of
honor hurried to the queen, and actual
ly carried her back to her subjects, who
received her with demonstrations of
joy.
The new colony had been established
under a bench. A hole under one Of the
legs of the bench led to it. With the
guard of honor carrying the queen, the
procession reformed and began its
march, and so disappeared from sight.
The gentleman moistened four Jumps
of sugar and put them in the path. Soon
two or three ants appeared, found the
sugar, and Immediately reported at the
new colony. When they returned a
number of helpers came with them;
and the sugar was all carried, grain by
grain, to the new home. Doubtless
they thought they had found a most
wonderful land to settle in, when food
was provided in such quantities near at
hand-Presbyterian Review.

WEIGHT OF AMERICAN COINS.
Some Valuable Information for
Persons Who Have to Handle
Much Specie

The weights of American coins are
important things for anyone to know
who has the handling of any great
