Mr.. Taylor then offered resolution
authorizing the speaker to appoint a

until after the presidents message is
read.
Very early in the day a monster
petition said to consist of seven million
names, protesting against the seating
of Mr.. Roberts, was brought into the
hall. 1t had been collected by New
York newspaper. Itconsisted of TWEEN
weight rolls of names each about two
feet in diameter, encased in the Ameri-

in the area in front of the clerks desk
and were viewed with great curiosity.

rolls taken out into the lobby.
Senator Rawlins of Utah came over
from the senate wing and held an
earnest conference with Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. Lentz of Ohio took part in the con-
ference. After it was over the report
was circulated that Mr.. Roberts would
not present himself TO be sworn in, but
this was immediately denied. Mr..
Roberts himself said he had not decided
what he would do, but that he might
desire to be heard when his case came
up. He took a seat to the right Of the
main aisle, and soon became the cyno-
sure Of all eyes. His daughter sat In

Since the earliest days of American his

thrown over the Indians of TERRA del Fuego
and Patagonia. which has always made
their life story intensely fascinating. Early
exaggerated reports peopled these lands
with dangerous races of huge giants quite
twice the size of ordinary human beings.
Later, and supposedly more accurate, state
ments made the people the most ignorant
OF all aborigines. Even Darwin says II

Although the people are neither of the
huge proportions described nor lowest in
the scale OF human enlightenment, never

in these early tales. The people OF Pata-

The "Tourh Girw Married.

Miss Ada Lewis, the original tough girl"
and Mr.. John Parr, an actor and singer,
were married on June 20 at Sag Harbor.
They only announced the wedding yester-
day. Ada Lewis became famous some years
ago as the tough girl in Harrigans Reilly
and the 40O.' She was a pioneer in her
field, and her clever character interpreta-
tions won her national renown. Many have
been her limitations. but she has remained
unrivaled. She and Parr, who was once a
boy soprano, are both with Rogers Broth
ers' company at the Victoria. Personally,
Ada Lewis is as unlike her stage characters
as one could be. She is just the opposite.
Quiet, we'll bred and dignifed, she forms a
great contrast to her parts. She was born
in San Francisco about twenty-six years
years. Ever since her first hit as the tough
girl she has been compelled to play that
sort of character, often to her annoyance.

dent of the Board of Agriculture. who ad-
dressed a gathering which included dele

ties which existed for the enlargement and
Improvement OF the poultry raising indus
try. and in this connection mentioned that
imported eggs amounted to no less than 43

duction. and gave the assurance that his
board would do everything to encourage
