AFTER a protracted discussion in
executive session the senate on
Tuesday reached vote on the
Davis amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and adopted it
IS to ~. The amendment pro-
vides that nothing in the treaty
"shall apply to measures which
the United States may find it nee
essary to take for securing, by its
own forces, the defense of the
United States.and the maintenance
of public order" 1t is held that
this gives us right to fortify the
canal, which the original text does
not. Other proposed amendments
remain to be acted upon and some
may be adopted. But if all are
rejected and the treaty approved
the one already made will necessi-
tate a renewal of negotiations be-
tween the state department and
the British government.

home to Blackfoot from Chicago,
where he has been for medical treat
ment for his throat. The trouble is
what is called 'ministeHal sore

speaking and involved in the treatment
was the loss of the patients tonsils.
However, he is in good health now
and looks we'll.

back on the Pocatello agreement has
nothing ia 1t.
We have fourteen in the next Idaho
senate to seven of the opposition; and
in the house the fusionists number
twenty-nine to twenty for the republic
cans. This gives them forty three on
a Joint ballot to twenty-seven against,
with thirty-six necessary to a choice.

SENATOR HANNA's speech in
favor Of the shipping subsidy bill
was as strong an argument Tor the
measure as could be made, yet it is
believed that the bill, which al
ready has been repeatedly altered,
will have to undergo many changes
before either house will pass it.
No matter how it may be amended
its success is uncertain. 1t is its

Rathbone Sisters Entertain.

One Of the most enjoya BILE social
events of the season was the recep-
tion given Thursday evening by Syr-
inga Temple No. 4, Rathbone sisters,
to the Knights of Pythias and their
families. At s o'clock Castle Hall
was well filled with members Of the
order. In the center of the hall were
two long tables beautifully decorated
and fairly groaning under the good
things that had been prepared by the
ladies in charge of the affair.
Mrs. j. G. Davis acted as mistress
of ceremonies and called the assem-
blage to order promptly at 8 o'clock.
The following literary and musical
program was then rendered: lnvoca-
ton, Rev. Walker; vocal solo, Mrs.
r S. McCrea; recitation, Myrtle
Dandy; vocal solo, Mrs. Kate Dyer;
recitation, Arva Brady; vocal solo,
Rev. Walker; recitation, Elmer Bra
dy; vocal solo, Mrs. J. Q. Davis, song
by the ladies of the Temple.
At the close of the literary part of
the program the lights were lowered,
and by the use of red fire several
beautiful tabIeauxs were presented,
among them being the Lily of the
Valley and the Rose of Sharon,
Goodnight scenes, and Others equally
as beautiful. II. L. Quarles, Chan
cellor Commander of Panhandle
Lodge M. 10, was then called to the
daiz aud Mrs. Davis presented to him
for the order a beautiful writing desk
saying. in part:
AS the nineteenth century draws
to close. it.is but fitting that the
members of Syringa Temple and Pan
handle Lodge should assemble here In
social fraternity. Since the organi-
Zation of this temple, our brother
knights have permitted us the free
use of their castle hall in which to
hold our sessions. We greatly admire
our beautiful surroundings and regard
this as a beautiful home where many
grand principles are inculcated in TIT
minds of those who attend. TO fur
ther heautify this home, we have pur
chased "A writing desk which we kind
~ present to our brother knights as {
Christmas gift. Please accept this d
a token of our appreciation and es
TEEN. We hope it may prove usefu
for many days to come. We extent
to you all the compliments of tn
season and wish you all prosperity ant
success for the welfare Of your order.
A curtain was then drawn asid
and the beautiful writing desk wa
revealed to the audience. Mr.Quarle
was taken by complete surprise, bu
soon regained his composure and Ii
resp onse made neat speech, thank
inv the sisters on behalf Of Panhan
die Lodge for the gift and aSsurin
them that the gift would be apprec
ated beyond measure.
The knights were then seate
around the banquet table and mol
than an hour was spent iu partakin
of the good things which had bee
prepared. After the banquet sony
were sung and games played until
late hour when the knights and ladit
returned to their homes fully COZ

VICTORY AT VITTORIA.

Napoleon was filled with fury at his
brother for the result of Vittoria, Ste
phen Crane writes in the July Lippin-
colt, but he instructed his ministers to
say that "a somewhat brisk engage
ment with the English took place at
Vittoria in which both sides lost equal
ly. The French armies, however.
carried out the movement in which
they were engaged, but the enemy
seized about one hundred guns which
were left without teams at Vittoria,
and it is these that the English are
trying to pass off as artillery captured
on the battlefield" One of the most
important captures of the battle was a
mass of documents from the archives
of Madrid, Including great part of
Napoleon's secret correspondence
an invaluable addition to history.
Napier's summing up of the results of
the battle reads: "Joseph's reign was
over; the crown had fallen from his

LITERARY NOTE.

In the May Atlantic, George F. Par
ker follows up his April discussion of
the present weaknesses of our consular
service with many pertinent and
valuable suggestions for its reorgani-
cation. He touches the needs for new
methodes of appointment, for classif-
cation, for fixed tenure of service, for
proper pay and the adjustment Of
consular fees and certificates, for due
training both before and during the
service. These and other suggestions
made from his position as an ex-
perienced discover appeal sharply to the
common sence of all as well as to the
necessities of the case.

THE PROPER TENURE OF CON.
SULAR OFFICE.

Having provided for appointment
upon pratical lines, it would remain to
decide on some principle, the matter of
tenure, says George F. Parker in the
Atlantic. Nothing is clearer to the
student of our conditions than that a
system Of life tenure. or assurance of
it, has not been. accepted by the people
of the United States, and not likely to
be until there has been a revolution in
vice consuls are accepted or become
eligible for promotion they should go
into actual service for one year. After
that, limit their terms to six additional
years in the various grades through
which they may pass, leaving neither
the president nor the department any
power to reappoint. During this term
the official should return home for two
visits, of at least three months each,
not for his own pleasure, but in the
performance of his official duties.
Under the direction both of the de-
partment and his immediate superior,
the consul general, he would go into
all the domestic districts having in
destries akin to those with which he
was sailed upon to deal in his group.
His usefulness at his post would be
greatly increased, while he would
maintain the closest touch with his
own country. In like manner, he
should be required to visit the princi-
pal places of his group of district each
yeas, for the purpose of studying with
care it's manufacturing, commercial,
and agricultural interests, so that he
might report them, when necessary,
in no chance or haphazard way. Ac-
curing, in this way, a knowledge of
the industries of two countries, the
consul, at the eud of the term, would
return home in order to retire, to en-
gage in business or public life, fitted
to teach others, by speech and writing,
what he had learned, for their advan-
tage and for his own. He might be
preferred again for consular SERVICE
after a retirement of some years,-or
for the diplomatic service. or for home
offices.

THE LIFE's AIM.

II there be good in what I wrought,
Thy hand compelled it, Master,
thine:
Where I have failed to meet thy
thought,
know, through thee, the blame is
mine
One instant's toll to thee denied
Stands all eternity's offense, {
OF that did with thee to guide,
To thee, through thee, be excellence.
The depth and dream of my desire,
The bitter paths wherein I stray,
Thou knoWest who has made the fire,
Thou knoWest who has made the
clay.
One stone the more swings to her place
In that dread temple of thy worth
1t is enough that through thy grace
l saw naught common on thy earth.

CHAPTER XXXIV.

The keeper looked bewilde1ed when
be opened the door. There stood
Lord Ffelden, and by his side, held
fast by him. was lady, with face
very beautiful and proud yco white
and weird, with great, black eyes that
seemed to blaze with liquid fire, and a
mass Of black hair. She had neither
bonnet nor shawl; her dress was of
the plainest black; yet, in some vague
way, the man felt that she was lady.
Walk in, madam said Lord
Fielden. Mrs. Turnbull will find
you all needful accommodation. You
will like tea, or coffee, or some re-
freshment, perhaps?"
He closed the door behind him as
he spoke, and then turned with stern
face to the keeper and his wife.
Il have brought this lady here,'' he
said; land here she is to remain in
close custody until tomorrow morn
ing. Let her have every care, every
attention-all that she requires; but
she must not be left alone, so that
she can escape"
Lola looked at him defiantly
You may do all that, yet you can
not make me speak," she replied. 81
tell you frankly that, if I can get a
chance to kill myself, will do it; if
| can find the least opportunity to
escape, I shall take it."
will you excuse me, my lord? '
said the keeper, after a steady look at
the flashing black eyes. 81 am afraid
to undertake the charge of this lady,
/ am not used to such a task Toxes,
pheasants, and patridges, and such
like l understand, but not ladies. I
should not be able to detain her. my
lord, if she made up her mind to CO."

ELEPHANTS THAT SUCKED THE
BOTTLE.

owned some young elephants which
I had lent to a Snowman on the
Bowery. On going to see them one
day, noticed man holding his finger
to the mouth Of one of the smaller
ones. / placed my finger in the mouth
of another and found that the creatures
seemed to derive pleasure from the
action of sucking. Immediately I sent
out for an ordinary infants nursing
bottle. The young elephant drained
the bottle as if Ito the manner born. S
It was passed from one to another OF
the infant class. Finally they fought
in the most indescribably comical
manner for possession of the bottle.
Then I fitted a large glass jar, holding
gallon, with rubber tubes, SO that all
could use it at the same time. Invaria-
bly, they would empty this bottle before
loosening their hold on the nipples.
They had doubtless been taken from
their mother when too young, or per-
haps she had been killed at the time
the young were captured. So
effectively did they appeal to public
interest and sentiment that by dint of
skillful advertising, the celebrated
sucking baby elephants made quite
a fortune in single season They
would be led into the ring, where they
would take their nourishment like
humane babies, ---eir overgrown size
making this infantile operation very
comical and absurd The sight cap
tivated the heart of every woman who
attended the show.-W c. Coup in

CHARGE OF THE FOUR HUNDRED.

1t is not worth that makes the man;
It's Wealth-deny it they who cant
IT'S love for its alchemic ray
That leads Society astray.
1t can't afford to snub man
Built on the million-dollar plan!
It only waits until it learns
What you have not, before it spurns.
No wretch, if he has wealth galore,
Is kept long waiting at its door.
It's Wealth that gilds and Furnishes;
It's Wealth that scandal furnishes;
It's Wealth that causes all our woes;
1t buys us friends. and buys us foes.
We pay fee when we are born,
And when from earthly life we're torn,
When freed from wearing care and toll,
We pay for just six feet of soil
In which to lay in peace away
The still, cold form of crumbling clay.
Crime walks with Riches in the street.
And all whom they may chance to
meet
Fair maids in costly gowns and furs.
Each wishing all you have were hers;
And women, weary grown and old,
Who know their world is harsh and
cold;
Stern men who outwardly condemn
On courtiers knees bow low to them!
Not one will dare to snub a man
Built on the million-dollar plan.
Then your, O Riches, be the field!
For to you all the virtues yield.
When men despair your smiles to win
They call you, goddess, root of SIM"
Yet it you but glance bestow,
How quickly all their maxims go!
Twas envy Of your power alone
That seated Virtue on a throne,
Where she is viciously abused,
And where her scepter lies unused!
Society-the funny thing!-
Claims a most brilliant following!
1t talks of intellect and brain
For neither one it cares a grain!
It cultiVates the Kipling fad!
Those trivial rhymes are 'Great!
Egad!"
1t never raves DER Edison,
For science is medicine
Which, if by accident they'd drink,
Might make the fragile dorlings Think!
And who prefers the flow of soul"
To, pleasures of the flowing bowl?"
The only varnish that conceals
The ravages that Time reveals
Is Riches, the great primal cause
Of misery and broken laws.
And none can tell it Virtuell yield
Till Riches first have had the field.
Was ever heart too hard and cold
To thaW beneath the beams of gold?
Society's a funny thing:
One it will kiss, another sting;
So It's not strange that women who
Give Gossip heavy work to do
Divorce their husbands, drink high
balls,
And take dozen leaps and falls;
Who, in a nutshell, go the pace,
May yet retain their leaders place.
They demonstrate their own DEGREES
To do exactly what they please.
Smart Set.

IF ALL CANDIDATES
WHITE.
WORE

The word candidate is from the Latin
candidatus. Literally it means white
robed, and it was thus called because in
Rome those who sought office wore a
glittering white toga. Fancy, if you
can, all our modern Americans dressed
in accordance with their political
ambitions. In some sections there
would be no such thing as a dark suit
of clothes; Washington would simply
be one shining center of universal
whiteness.
