The people are beginning to feel,

and he nudged his father with the in

bring his 'amen' with him."

IT is said that Roosevelt has agreed
to accept the nomination for Vice
President, on the express condition
and pledge that the administration
use its utmost endeavors to boost him
for the Presidency in 1904. That
would be almost as bad as a third
term Presidential incumbency. The
one consideration which has caused n
general sigh of resignation to a second
term has been that it might not be
contaminated by selfish impulses.

A RABBI in Chicago has been arrest
ed for annoying women on the streets.
The defense was urged that the rabbi
had been so absorbed in religious con.
temptations he unconsciously swung
his arms about, and he might have
unintentionally embraced the com.

cumstances. A Beecherian verdict OF
Il" Not guilty, but he must not do SO
any MORE" is evidently the proper
verdict for the jury to return.

1T seems that "Mr. Clark Of Mon.

field of political activities. Last Tues
day, in well-worded address to the
Senate, Mr.. Clark submitted his resig.
nation OF the Office of Senator, dated
on the IIth inst, and addressed to the
executive OF Montana. A Helena dis
patch of Tuesday gives the second act
OF the drama that is so rapidly passing
to its close. The Governor of Mon
tana is out of the State. Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs is political adher.
ent OF Clark. simultaneously with
the receipt of the resignation, or with
barely enough time intervening to
cons titute consecutive act, he was to
have appointed Clark U. S. Senator
from Montana. The opinion prevails
that as Clark had resigned before the
Senate had declared the seat vacant,
that the Governors appointment will
be recognized. Governor Smith had
telegraphed his intention to return to
the State Immediately, upon this plot
being discovered, but it was absolutely
impossible for him to arrive at the
capital before the curtain would ring
down on the final act of this rapid
change dra ma.

A FAIR critic asks why we used the
term " sister lodge" in alluding to the
visit OF Olympia aerie to Tacoma lodge
OF Eagles, a short time ago, when, as
she declared, it should have had a
masculine designation, from the fact
that the organization is composed ex-
cluslvely OF men. She thought that
brother lodge would have been more
appropriate. Probably it would, and
the only explanation we can make of
the matter is that men love their lodge
second only to wife and sweetheart,
and it may be that an association of
ideas is responsible for involuntarily
CHASING them together in form of ex-
preston.

OBJECTS TO BEING CALLED "UNCLE."
An honor that was not appreciated
was Mayor Ziegenheim's endeavor to
have the people of st. Louis call Ad-
miral Dewey, on his late visit to that
city, "Uncle George" To be called
"Uncle" in Germany is considered as
expressing both affection and rever-
ence. The Mayor seemed determined
to carry his point, and on the street
parade and at the reception in the
evening, with very little tact, affec-
tionately referred to the Admiral rs
Uncle. On the last occasion the Man
of Manila called the Mayor down, pro-
testing that he was too young to be
called Uncle" Whether the Ad-
miral was in q satiric mood or unwit-
tingly blundered, he left the people
wondering what he meant when at 60
he thought he was not old enough to
be called Uncle.

ANOTHER RICHMOND" IN THE FIELD.
-" Mark Twain" at banquet of the

that he intended to embark in new

everything everybody is in favor OF.
There could not be broader platform.
He was in favor of temperance and in
temperance, morality and qualified
morality, the gold standard and free

A BROTHERLY FIGHT.--A develop
ment of modern fashionable "Chris-

Avenue Baptist church, in Cleveland,
Ohio, which has for its chief patrons
two brothers of the Rockefeller family.
Brother Frank accuses Brother John
of being religious Caesar, and one
may imagine what that means, so
Frank, and his wife, and his three
daughters, prefer to journey heaven
ward by some other pathway than that
led by Brother John and the brothers
do not speak as they pass by. What
on Earth they will do when they meet
upon the golden shores OF the New

it seems safe to predict that while one
plays on harp among the blessed,
the other will voluntarily assume the
position OF Stoker in the Stygian re-
gions of the damned.

The new fraternal order oil Eagles,
whose Grand Acric meets in VAN
couvcr, i. G., next Tuesday, has had
the most remarkable growth OF mod
ern beneficiary orders. 1t l. Il little
more than two year, old, and it now
has 5000 members, with So acries
scattered all over the country, from
Washington To Maine an from Texas
II the Canadian border Even Daw-
son City, in tlir land o! perpetual
snow. has nest OF caglrt>, and is
proud OF them.
The order originated in Seattle, Feb
9th, 1888, and now that city has 500
members, Tacoma 100, Portland 800,
San Francisco 500, this city 100, while
the principal cities East outrank the
Pacific in members as much as they
do in population-with New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago in the lead.
Like Odd Fellowship, the order had
its origin in desire to promote fellow
ship and conviviality, under which the
rules FOL perpetuity and permanence
are somewhat relaxed but its benelici-
airy provisions, moral precepts incul-
Gated by the ritual, and the generous
individuality it enlists in that behalf,
is instituting a feeling for throwing
around it some of those safeguards
which experience has demonstrated
are essential for an order which as
sumes responsibility that, without
them, grows with aye and members.
A more careful physical test, and a
stricter moral qualification, will
doubtless follow the teachings OF ex-
perience, soon as the order has OBJ
tanned foothold which will enable ii
to select perfect stones for the super
structure, and fashion them to con-
form to the admirable precepts of the
order.
1t is expected that 1000 members
will attend the meeting OF the Grand
Aerie, at Vancouver, which city has
raised $4,000 for a grand entertain
ment of the visiting brethren.
Among the features of interest is an
appropriation of $1,000 for the best
drilled initiating team, and so conf
dent is our local aerie, of the compe-
tence of their own executive staff that
Olympia Aerie No. 81, will he repre-
sented in the contest.
An effort will be made to hold the
Grand Aerie of 1901 in San Francisco
which city has held out the most al
Turing inducements for the honor.
That city was Vancouver's principal
competitor last year, and Vancouver's
manner of "doing the grand" will I'M
doubtedly set the gait for the Bay
City. DIR. Littlefeld, of Portland, is
the Pacific Coast candidate for Grand
Worthy President.
The present Grand Aerie officers
are: John w. Considine, G. w. Pres
ident; John Cort, Seattle, G. w. p. p. F;
