thing ever invented in the way Of a stick,
and makes you cool simply to look at it,

shape. It is delicately marked with little
yellow rings that circle the misty grey
bark at equal intervals. 1t shows the
natural light yellow wood on the handle
and al the knots. where the small branch

porous and keeps the moisture of the
palm absorbed, eventually after use be-
coming soft brown. that matches well

The chisel, the trowel, and the clever
fingers of modelers are busy now in the
new committee rooms at tbs Capitol. The
sound of hammers and saws can be heard
all through the building, but no one is
allowed to see what is going on. The cor
ridors into which the rooms open have
been closed by temporary partitions, and
the doors are locked. The workmen just
at present are putting in the ornamental
plaster work on the ceilings. which, it is
said will be elaborate. There viii be
large centre-pieces above the chandeliers
surrounded with lighter modelled work
running to the corners of the rooms. The
color scheme has not been worked out yet
and viii not be until each committee

probability is. however, that there will be
a good deal of gold used, and if so the

LIVE TOPICS ABOUT TOWN.

The first step toward developing a
scheme for the Improvement of the Mall
and the extension and development of the
park system of Washington has been com
pleted. There is now irPthe hands of the
lithographer a map prepared by Chief
Craftsman Langdon, of the Park Com
mission, that gives at beast the first es-
sential information which the Commission
win have to possess before it is able to
put in motion any scheme. The map is
designed to show the ownership of all
pieces of land In the District, and was
made with a special view to showing the
property which is owned by the District
and that owned by the Government.
The problem of gathering the data for
this map was hard one, and perhaps
the most tedious that the Commission will
have to meet. The titles to parks and
grounds surrounding buildings and reser-
vations were not so clear as might be ex-
pected and to discover the exact status
of each plot was a wearisome job. II
meant going through an innumerable lot
of files in all the departments. especially
the War Department, but the work has
resulted in a completely satisfactory man
ner. and facts are now at hand which
were never known with any deiiniteness
before. The purpose OF this Commission,
as expressed in the thorough groundwork
that it is doing, is to gather the data
which shall be of use in the future to
any set of men who may take up the park
scheme-should this present Park Commis-
sion not succeed in carrying 1t through

and one of the interesting features of the
workshop of Mr. Langdon is card cata-
iogue in which is indeked everything that
has been done, every document that has
been made. or examined. 1t is, in fact
concise summary of all the work ac-
complished so far. The map. which is now
being printed, is to be more complete
than any yet made of the District. 1t
has as its foundation the typographical
map made by the District Commissioners.

OUTLINE OF POLICY
President ROOseVelt's States the
Lines He Will Follow.
General Tendency will Be the Same
AS Under the Dead
President.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-President RoOse-
welt has outlined in some detail the pol
icy he will follow during his incumbency
of office. 1t will be remembered that
when he took the oath of office he stated
with much defniteness:
'It shall be my aim to continue absO-
lutely unbrOken the policy of.President
Mckinley for the peace (and he empha-
sized that word), prosperity and honor
of the country"
Yesterday the president gathered to-
gether some personal friends in Buffalo
and those members of the cabinet who
were here and gave to them such ideas
as he had already formulated for the
conduct OF public affairs and his own
policy. In no sense are they divergent
from what has been understood as Mr..
McKinley's policy.
This policy as outlined by his friends
at yesterdays conference, will be for q
more liberal and extensive reciprocity in
the purchase and sale of commodities. sc
that the overproduction of this country
can be satisfactorily disposed of by fail
and equitable arrangements with foreign
countries.
The abolition entirely of commercial
war with other countries and the adop
tion OF reciprocity treaties.
The abolition ofsuch tariffs on foreign
goods as are no longer needed for reve
nue., if such abolition can be made with
out harm to our industries and labor.
Direct commercial lines should be es
tablished between the eastern coast o
the United States and the ports in SoutE
America, and the Pacific ports of Mex
leo, Central America and South America
The encouraging of the merchant mar
inc and the building of ships which shall
carry the American flag and be owned
and controlled by Americans and Ameri
can capital.
The building and completion as soor
as possible of the isthmian canal, so a.
to give direct water communication tt

that he was a believer in the doctrines

infammatory character. He is a saloon

Tarred and Feathered.
Huntington, Ind, Sept. 17.-Joseph
A. Wildman, United Brethren minister
was tarred and feathered by a crowd OF
100 last night because on Sunday night
he rose in prayer meeting in one of the
churches and said: 81 suppose there
have been more lies told from the pulpit
and sacred desk today than were ever
known before. While want to give all
honor that is due Mr.. Mckinley, still
when he was living he was nothing but
a political demagogue."

"A Few Have Barely Escaped the

Seattle, Sept. 16.-Hon j. FL. Schively.
former chairman of the republican state
committee, said on his return from the
east: "We saw another thing in Engle-
wood, suburb of Chicago, that illus
trated the common feeling back there. A

places in that city, was fool enough to
remark that he did'n care whether the
president died or not, IN the presence of

ing, but went away and in about fifteen
minutes came back with q crowd OF
street car men who had left the power
house, short distance off They had
cut bell cords from the cars and gave the
barber his choice of being escorted to
the nearest railway train out of the city
or being hanged from lamp post, and
it looked as though they preferred the
latter course. The barber was not even
permitted to get his coat or hat, but
was glad to escape with his life. Then
they put sign on the door and closed
the shop. The sign read: This is the
reward given to traitors. Let all peO
pie beware OF entering this shop or dis.
turbing this sign The door was nailed
fast and if the proprietor returns he will
certainly be hanged"
Close Call for Anarchist
Omaha, Sept. 16.-Frank Stiger. q
professed anarchist, narrowly escaped
lynching at the hands of an angry crowd
in a saloon last night. Politics and the
recent tragedy at Buffalo we're under
discussion when Stiger became excited
and shouted: "He was ruler and an
Oppressor. Down with all rulers. Nc
kinley had already lived too long, and
he ought to have been killed long ago"
Some one shouted "Hang him." Others
held Stiger while two men were sent for
rope. A cooler headed man stepped
to telephone and sent for the police,
who arrived just as the man with rope
was coming. Stiger YVES hustled off to

President Roosevelt.

Buffalo, Sept. 14.-Theodore Roosevelt
took the oath of office as president at
$50 this afternoon. Deliberately he
proclaimed that he would be William
Mchlnley's successor in deed as well as
IN name, in these words:
I'm this hour of deep and terrible
national bereavement | wish to state
that 1T will be my aim to continue alb
solutely without variance the policy of
President Mckinley for the peace and
prosperity and honor OF our beloved
country"
The far reaching significance of this
pledge to continue the policy of the dead
president announced at the very thresh-
nold OF new government regime pro-
foundly impressed his hearers that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's first step after taking
the oath was in line with it's redemption.
Ills hrst act was to ask the members OF
the cabinet to retain their portfolios in
order to aid him to conduct the govern
ment on lines laid down by him whose
policy he had declared he would uphold.

arraigned before Judge Edward K Emery
in the county court the prisoner refused
stubbornly to answer questions repeat
edly asked of him by District Attorney
Penny as to whether he had counsel or
wanted any. The district attorney then
suggested that inasmuch as the defend
ant refused to answer, counsel should be
assigned. Judge Emery assigned Lorain

supreme court justices of this city, whose
names had been suggested by the Erie
County Bar Association.

MURDER THEORY SECUTED.

Rumors were circulated last night that Neal Mel

was said that Nelson was wealthy and owned much
when he was found. According to the reports his

He said last night that his nephew visited him last
Saturday night and started home just before L

thinks that his nephew struck by a car ooun9
for Brooklyn he started TO cross the TRACKS allu

and onto the truck
This theory agrees with that OF the railroad
people The murder theory was that Nelson 5 po9y

floor of the car while the car standing at the
Coney Island loop The railroad people say that
there is much light a: the loop for TINS 10 De

The trap door is the motor and the oody would

the side of the car but they will not commit them
