FLIRTS WITH WAX WOMEN.
Cattleman from Wyoming Throws
Kisses to Fig SreS In Store
Windows.

A veracious policeman on beat that
takes in the swell department stores OF
State street tells a queer story of a
cattleman from the plains of Wyom-
ing, says the Chicago Chronicle. Ac'
cording to the officers story the ranch
man fairly fell head and ears in love
with one wax figure of beautiful fe-
male in prominent show window OF
Chicago's great shopping thorough
fare.
when l first saw the cowboy throw
ing kisses at the pretty woman of wax,
said the policeman, 81 at first thought
he must be drunk or crazy. But he was
neither. The real truth was that he
had never in his life before seen a
dummy figure of woman of the per-
feet type then standing before him in
the glare of the show lights at night
and his explanation was that before
he realized the exquisitely attired grand
dame was nothing but cold and life
less figure he found himself throwing
kisses at her in pure gallantry and ex'
uberance of spirit.
81 did not believe him at first, and
started to take him in tow as a posi-
bly, dangerous lunatic. However, be
fore reached the patrol box with hin
concluded that although he may
have been imbibing freely while seeing
the town, he was in no way affected in
his upper story. SO l turned him loose
with a warning that he would frighter
people badly and get locked up should
he renew his ardent and demonstrative
wooing Of the wax figures in State
street windows"

THE PRESIDENTS CHURCH.
During the Administration of Mr.. Nc
KinIey This Is the Metropolitan
Church of Washington.

"Where the President Worships" is
the title of an article in Woman's Home
Companion, by Gabrielle Marie Jacobs.
describing the church in which Mr.. Nc
Kinley is seen almost every Sunday.
The following excerpt gives bit of the
history and appearance of the build
ing:
THE Metropolitan Methodist Episco-
pal church of Washington, d. c., known
in this administration as The Presi-
dents Church. was organized in 1883.
The Methodist bishops, under date of
March 16 of that year, issued a circu-
lar strongly advocating the erection
of house of worship which should be
national in character. 1t was decided
that this church should belong to no
particular circuit; that it should be
built with funds collected from every
portion of the United States; and that,
in order to provide generous accommo-
dations for strangers, as many pews
as possible should be free.
1.-THE corner stone was laid October
%. 1854. the address being made by
Bishop Simpson. But funds failed and
war times came on, so it was not dedi-
Gated until March 7, 1869, when its cost
had reached $225,OOO. The
church is a brown-stone structure, in
the Gothic style of architecture. The
main entrance is on c street. Three
doors lead from the vestibule to the
auditorium. which measures "a feet by
IS feet. When completed it was con-
sidered the finest church auditorium
in the District of Columbia. Two OF
the pews were purchased for $1,000
each by Mr.. Thomas Kelso. They were
set apart for the president and the
Shief Justice of the United States.
Other pews were purchased and re-
served by nearly all the states and
territories of the union, and by sew
eral of it's largest cities. Each pew
bears the name of the state or city
TO which it belongs, and one is marked
Canada The seating capacity of the
auditorium is 1,5GO. Wide stairways
lead to the galleries. two of which eX-
tend the entire length of the audi
forum. and in which many OF the
paws are free"

IS THE GIRAFFE GoING3
The Long-Necked Animal Seems "a
Be Following the North
American Bison.

Cosmopolitan sportsmen who have
hunted in the different countries of
the world agree that the giraffe is one
of the most highly priced game ami
mails of the world. 1t is generally be-
lieyed, though, that this animal is al
most extinct. Once it was quite abun-
dant in South Africa, but it was ruth
aessly slaughtered by the native hunt
ers there until it has become rare
animal there.
A writer to the Field, of London, as
ssrts that giraffe are still to be found
in considerable numbers In Angola,
Portuguese West Africa, and that it il
likely to be many years before these
splendid animals are exterminated
The giraffe is known to the Angola
natives as ondue. Its range does not
extend In this region beyond the ff
tenth degree of south latitude.
It is hoped that these animals may
he preserved in their native lair. II
would be a grand work for the inter
national organization for the preser
walton of African big game which was
recently formed to exert itself for thu
preservation of this animal.

SEARCH FOR THE TILE FISH.
Efforts OF Government Agents to
locate the Much-Wanted
! Species.

Tho United States fish commission
is about TO make an effort TO determine
as precisely as possible the area OF sea
bottom occupied by the tilefsh-that
strange and interesting fnny species
which was first discovered in 1879, only
to be rendered almost extinct soon aft
erward by a marine cataclysm wholly
unprecedented, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
The fish commission thinks that an
important and lucrative fishery for
the tilefish may be created, when once
the fishermen are informed at to where
they should go to look for the species,
which is excellently adapted for the
table. Hitherto it has remained al
most unknown simply because its home
is in the depths. There is reason to be-
heve that it has again become very
numerous, and a reference to the his
tory of the famous catastrophe of 1882
shows that In March and April of that
year 1900 square miles of ocean were
found profusely sprinkled with tile
fish, the number being estimated at one
thousand millions.
The eastern edge of the North Amer.
lean continent is overfowed by the sea,
and that is why the water near the
coast is so shallow To find the true
edge of the great continental land mass
one would have to travel about so
miles due eastward from New York
There begins a sudden descent to the
true floor of the ocean, which Is IA
miles deep. A narrow belt OF this de-
clivity, running north and south, is
bathed by the warm waters Of the
Gulf Stream, and here is found the tile
fish. The catastrophe above men
toned, which so nearly wiped out the
entire species, was undoubtedly due
to an invasion of the belt by the arctic

According to Gen. Baden-Powell,
there is a future for girls in South
Africa. The situation is realized by
practical Germans, who have already
started regular emigration bureau

Cucumbers largely take the place

in profusion and when nearly ripe
they are put down for a few days in
a brine made from salt and oak leaves
and then are eaten both in connection

prohibitive tariff laws are the breeders
of the American trust system, for by
shutting out foreign competition in
our home markets these gigantic trusts
are enabled TO control the home pro-
duction and regulate and Ok the prices

their own greed. Upon this subject
here is an extract from the remarks OF
such an eminent authority as VIM.
Lloyd Garrison Of Boston,
II will be averred that my conclusion
is erroneous because trusts fiouri n ia
free trade England The statement is
not true. Combinations exist because
justified by skill. ability and public
service, though doubtless there are
some favored by land and franchise
privileges. But trusts, like the bulk
OF our American conspiracies, having
the power TO mark up their prices at
will, because legally exempt from for
eign competition, do not exist In
Great Britain an artificial advance OF
price at once invites unlimited imporc
tations from all competing countries
and cannot be maintained. The pro
tective tariff is the breeder OF trusts,
and the practical and efficient way to
abolish them is 10 demolish 1t.

BRYAN AND FNsrBUorION.

The Leader has no desire TO fore
stall the action of the territorial Dem
ocrat'c convention in the selection of
the delegates to the national conven-
tion at Kansas City, but in view OF the
fact that the Democracy of the terri
tory is overwhelmingly in favor of that
peerless statesman and matchless
champion of the people, VIM. J Bryan,
for the presid ency, IL ls due him and
due the people that the delegation
should be instructed for him arst. last
and all the time. Nineteen-twenti-
eths Of the Dem ocraey Of the territory
are for him, and as they are for him
over any other man Ia the United
States. and IL nominated he is sure to
be elected, this expression Of confidence
will place the territory fully in line
with his administration and il would
be the part of political wisdom TO SO
instruct the delegation. There should
be no controversy over the matter and
we believe there will be none, for
what the people want should be ac-
corded them as their sovereign right.
To put the subject beyond the possi-
0iiity OF discussion by the convention
It might be well for the counties to in
struct their delegations for Mr. Bryan.
The Democratic press in every county
Of the territory should give full dis
eussion to this important matter. go
that when their delegations TO the
territorial rouvention are elected no
mistake will be made.
