Dewey, as the head of the navy, will
follow Immediately afterward. But, ac-
cording to one Washington correspond

of Mrs Dewey and Mrs. Miles. When
the army appears at department,
Mrs. Dewey must follow Mrs, Miles.
but on private occasions she is the
ranking lady. Another question set
tied is that Mrs. Hay, although the
wife Of the secretary of state, who is
in line of succession to the presidency,
does not have the precedence allowed
to the wife of a vice president. Mrs.
Hay will have no more privileges than
the other cabinet ladies. but the post
ton Of her husband places her at the
head of these. The wife of the
speaker of the house has the easiest So
cial position. She calls on no one but
the wife of the president. The ladies
of all other branches Of the government
must visit Mrs. Henderson first. Sc

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Standard of Anaconda, the leading
Montana daily, issued q Christmas num-
Der last Sunday that for artistic merit
has rarely been equaled even by the more
pretentious metropolitan journals me
fullpage Christmas scenes in colors would

to interesting tales of pioneer adventure,
a complete review is given of the mining

Every industry gets its share of atten-
ton, and while containing rare fund OF
information the evident intention to make
it a bright, readable Christmas number
has been fully realized. 1t IS an edition
worthy of the great Copper State.
