CAN DRAW TWO SALARIES.
But Mr.. Yeatman Must BE Regularly
Appointed.

The question of whether William 8.
Yeatman, disbursing officer of the War
Department, at a salary of 5000 a year,
can also draw a salary as clerk to the
Chickamauga, Gettysburg, Shiloh and
Vicksburg military parks has been decided
by Controller Tracewel. He says that Mr.
Yeatman can draw two salaries If he Is
duly appointed by the Secretary of War
to the clerkship of the parks. He thinks
that appointment is authorized under the
law and the appropriations for these parks
Mr. YeatInan some time ago paid himself
81, ,4S6 for clerical services rendered the
Gettysburg National Park from August 10,
1S93 to September 13, 1897. The auditor
for the War Department disallowed the pay
ment, on the ground that the duties had
been performed as extra work and not by
special appointment This decision was
sustained by the controller, who now says
that Mr.. Yeatman can draw a salary for
the work If he is specifically selected and
appointed to the clerkship.

fH noiseless1y motion. opens the door for each conner and as noiselessly closes it. If the chamber is full he stands with his back to the door; without uttering ~ord, keeps others from attempting to enter. Newspa- per reporters are not expected to sit in the supreme court. If they enter they are ex- pected to be as other visitors, and not to take notes of the proceedings. A ready attendant will at once interfere if a note book is drawn. Informal exceptions are made to the reporters for the large news associations, places for them being found near the clerks desk, and they would sure ly be taken for court officials by the visi- tors. There are only two or three of these, and they are never present except for a few minutes Monday morning. At other times they are out of sight
 When Chief Justice Fuller was installed. an exception was made, after much influ- ence had been brought to bear and after long deliberation on the part of the assocl- ate Justices, and limited number of news paper reporters were provided with places inside the bar of the court. Probably half dozen such were admitted, and on the desk of each was quill pen, and by its side little square bottle of ink, which the porters were expected to use.
 When the Kentucky case was being ar gued in which there was the greatest pos sible professional interest on the part of the newspaper reporters, orders were given to
 
 as other visitors. Inasmuch the other visitors had stood in line for an hour and there was no coming and going from the room, the reporting of the proceedings in this famous case was very difficult mat ter. The words of protest from impatient reporters might as well have been wasted on the Washington monument The official of the court would not even listen to them
 The other day I met two lawyers in front of the court room doors, attired in li=ht suit and the other in dark clothes. The one in the light suit reminded the other that he had on dark clothes, but purple necktie, but he had been in the court chamber on business. The colored tie did not bar him. But the lawyer in the light suit could not venture in the chamber Though they were merely spectators they must wear dark coats if they would ap- pear within the bar of the court. What an awful thing would happen if one should ap- pear before the bar of the supreme court in light suit is not known, for no one has ever had the temerity to try it. The dignity and decorum of the court goes a long ways towards preserving that respect which usually disappears when there is too great familiarity.

but her dress was always such as to por- tray her rank.
 The last of her dynasty, for the throne of Hawaii is permanently fallen, Liliuoka- lani deserves more than a passing thought.
 Her right name is Mrs. Lydia Hama kacha Dominis, for late in life she became the wife of John Owen Dominis, a young business man of Honolulu.
 This matrimonial venture occurred in 1862. Young Dominis was the son of an American sea captain, but was born in Italy. When David Kalakua was made king, Mrs. Dominis, by special royal pro- clamation, bloomed forth as the Princess Liliuokalani. Her husband was rewarded by the gift of the governorship of Oahu, Molokai and Lanai, and was also mem- Der of the house of nobles He wore on his breast all the orders at the disposal of the crown.
 John Dominis died however, before for tune placed his consort on the throne on January 20, 1891. She was then in her fff- ty-third year.
 Liliuokalani was one of many brothers
The age-herald., 1900-05-27

and sisters, the most beautiful of whom was the Princess Like Like. the royal girl who married MT. Cleghorn of California and had one child, the Princess Kaiulani.
 When Like Like had been only a short time a wife, the volcano Peel broke out and vomited forth fire, smoke and lava. The people of Hawaii were greatly terri fled and consulted their oraces to find out how to check the terrible mountain.
 The ancient books said that Peel, the ever terrible, would be contented only with the sacrifice of a human life; and that the life so sacrificed must be one of the royal family.
 Like Like offered to give herself as a sacrifice to the awful God and so, in full sight of all, she lay down and deliberately starved to death thus securing a niche in immortality for herself and peace for Hawaii; for the very day that Like Like died the volcano Peel became quiet
 When the revolution occurred in Hawaii, Liliuokalani was put off the throne but the minds of the people turned toward the little daughter of the martyr Like Like; and for a long time Kaulani was the queen-elect.

she would accept the post of governor of Hawaii, or any other appointment of ruler ship which could be bestowed upon her.
 After pleading her cause many times Liliuokalani withdrew, and with much sorrow announced that her great and good friend'' could do little for her at pres ent; in the future he might, however, give her any or all of the things she craved.
 Washington treated the ex-queen, who is a woman of education, refinement and presence, so well that she decided to re- main; and after looking about the city she selected home worthy her state in which she immediately placed native servants and gathered about her retinue that would not disgrace a royal household.
 Her business in Washington, her friends said was to place before the government her claims to a pension and to press them until they should finally be recognized. To this end statesmen were invited to her home and the Hawaiian fad became pop ular one in Washington. When the queen went to drive she picturesque figure with her ladies, her outriders and court. At other times driving in semi-state, she had with her only her lady attendants,

THE EX-QUEEN' ''L1L s4a. s..
 GOES HOME TO DIE

At a reception, to which the best people of Washington society were invited, ex- Queen Liliuokalani, formerly of Hawaii, but for the past five years of Washington, announced that she had decided to shake the dust of the United States from her feet and to return to the land of her birth to spend the final days of her life in such retirement as is her right by birth and the will of the people.
 Five years ago, when the Hawaiian trou- ble came to climax, ending in the per manent dethronement of the royal family, the ex-queen sailed for America, and, travelling across the country in semi-royal state, threw herself at the feet of Presi- dent Grover Cleveland to beg from him such indulgence as he could grant. The fallen queen desired first her throne; fail ing that she wanted very substantial pension; or if neither throne nor pension were forthcoming, her friends hinted that

through the lobby of the court to their places on the bench. This parade occurs whenever the court passes Tn or out of the court chamber, and there Is invariably at the hour of their assembling a crowd of curious strangers grouped on either side of the enclosed way. Many remove their hats as the court files by, and on every face is an expression of respect and inter- est. No expression of impatience escapes from even the belated senator who Is de- layed by this procession while he Is hurry ing to the senate chamber in time for prayer.
 There Is no talking among the spectators when the court is in session, and even when the bench is vacant and strangers are viewing the deserted chamber they uniformly speak in whispers. An old white bearded colored man who sits at the door Is the personifcation of silence and digni- ty, and the sight of him is enough to make the most frivolous grow grave and walk on their tip-toes He, silently, with perfectly
