In commenting upon the work of the
late legislature the Tacoma Ledger pays
the following compliment 20 the well
known rusting abilities Of Fish Commits
sioner Little, of this city.
1.-The most successful man who went to
Olympia this winter to ask for legislation
was Fish Commissioner a. G. Little. Not
request made by the fish commissioner
went unheeded, probably on account OF
his tlreless energy and his persistence in
forcing through his bills. Not IL bill was
amended in Il manner not acceptable to
INN. and the measures OF other men he
favored were put through.
Mr.. Little came to Olympia to ask for
new fisheries bill, enc which, would
make = new scale of licenses. proml,lsa,e
new rules governing the catching and
packing OF salmon and generally revise
the laws on that subject. He got the bill
just as he wanted it. From the revenue
that would be derived from licenses issued
under this bin the fish commissioner es-
timNted that he would receive an average
Of $6O 600 Il year He wanted to use this
money TO buld new fish hatcheres, and
he had Il list of fifteen that should be
built. The legislature granted him au-
thoriiy to build the hatcheries.
;" Tie fish commits ioner believed that if
lac were n.ade state game warden he could
have an authority over the county game
wardens that would permit him to enforce
the law regarding fishing and game in
the different counties. A bill to that
effect went through the legislature.
There were two measures introduced
at his request involving oyster culture and
the legislature passed them without ques-
ton. The fish commits, Toner believed
that something ought to be done to protect
sturgeon, but he was not overly particular
about that subject. He did not urge the
bill protecting sturgeon strongly, and in
fact, practically forgot about it after it
was introduced. But the legislature re-
membercd it and passed the bill. Hence
forth it will be unlawful to take surge n
less han four feet in length

Judging from these indications the

nineteenth century. IL is probable that
the United states will see largely In

settlement Of the country offers the local
support which Is always necessary 10 the
success of these enterprises. The increas-
ing manufacturing activity and the need
of seeking new and enlarged markets for
the cOuntry's products will enhance the
value Of these exhibitions and the OPP
portunity they give for display. Then,
too. Il has been discovered by the eX-
amples of Nashville and Omaha that these

badly be a plethora Of them during the

All through the opera the body lay

was received from the Coroner to remove
it TO the Fifty-second-street home.
Mrs. Allen was Miss Elizabeth Clagett

afflicted with a weak heart.
Colonel Allen is president OF the Cuban
League. He is a member Of the Union
Club and other organizations. He has
travelled extensively in Europe. He was

OPERAS STRAINS \ DEATH DIRGE.
Mrs. Ethan Allen Dies I'm the Play
House.


While the opera Of "LOhengrin" was be-
ing sung last night in the Metropolitan
Opera-House Mrs. Elizabeth Clagett
Allen the wife OF Colonel Ethan Allen,
died in the retiring-room just off the
family circle Of the theatre. Mrs. Aliens
death was due TO heart-failure, an at
tack of which was brought on by the
effort Of climbing up the ten short flights
OF stairs to reach her seat in the opera
| house.
"Lohengrln" was Mrs. Aliens favorite
| opera, and for some time she had been
waiting to hear Jean de Reszke in the
/ title role Last night she decided that
she would go, and So informed her hus-
band. 1t was after O'Clock when Colo
mel Allen, with Mrs Allen and their
/ adopted daughter. Miss Beatrice Reid.
/ left their home, No. 40 west Fitty-second
! street, in the family carriage. IL was not
| the COlOnels intention TO attend the
| opera, but he agreed TO escort Mrs. Allen
ana Miss Reid and call for them at its
finish.
When they reached the opera-house
| they found that all the seats with the
exception OF a few IN the family circle
We're sold. The Colonel consulted with
Mrs. Allen, who said she didn't mind
going upstairs If they could get good
seats. The Colonel succeeded in getting
two good seats, and left them in the
lobby. He at the time supposed they
would so up I'm the elevator. The seats
however, We're so situated that to climb
the stairs was necessary.
Mrs. Allen was co years old. When she
reached the top Of the tenth flight she
was out Of breath.
Pm nearly dead" she said to Miss
Reid, who had been assisting her. The
pair had gone up the stairs slowly. but
the climb was too much Mrs. Aliens
remark was made laughingly. A moment
later. while gasping for breath, she
tainted. A glass Of water revived her.
and her daughter suggested that they
had better 20 home.
I'm all right. I've made up my mind to
near the opera, and Pm going TO hear it,"
she said. An usher showed the pair TO
their seats-B, lO6 and 1OS. The orchestra
was playing and the lights were lowered.
Miss Reid was talking TO her mother when
she saw her eyes close and her head drop
forward.
Ushers were called, and they, assisted
by others carried the woman TO the re-
tring-room. She was alive at that time. /

NEW YORK. February 1S.--Waists and

is to be fashions idol to a greater extent
than ever before. This on the blouse takes
the form Of tuckings fat and tuckings
round and tuckings fanciful. You will no

of the elegant models we illustrate this
week.
In many cases the entire blouse is
tucked, including the collarband. These
tucks are bayadere, or vertical, or diago-
nal. but they are there; sometimes the top
of the sleeve is tucked for Z or inches.

case the back and fronts Of the body have

had a soft cream satin blouse, with u

we have summer with us. In roses We

others of white green with frosted foliage.
Mauve is q difficult color TO place

boxes of the wholesale milliners. The
Ranunculus, the pansy and the glycine
are most prominent. Masses Of foliage
alone will trim many hats. Entire gar
lands will be worn; some composed Of
the small, purplsh red rose leaf that ac-
companies the white rose. These are for
straw and tulle hats. They are intended
to be placed surrounding the crown with
q cluster i'm front or at the side. a no

black, brown, or yellow, and they really
form very attractive sprays.
Grasses also, initiated or natural, are
to be much used and fruit, such as cur
rants, white and red whortleberries, and
small Strawberries, all with their leaves.
These are often formed into garlands and
