most interesting book lay on the desk in
the room of the Secretary of the Senate
yesterday. 1t was a report in probably 500
typewriter pages. On the salmon fisheries
OF Alaska. by H. NJ. KutcheD. who was ap
pointed special agent to make the enquiry
by the Secretary Of the Treasury. The
document was of the usual typewriter pa
per width and breadth. and about three
inches thick. Ii was especially to be no
ticed for the elaborate illustration II had
received at the hands OF its compiler.
Scattered throughout the pages of inter
esting facts and figures. were about 100
fine platinotype photographs. showing the
various methods of catching the salmon.
the scenery along the most important
streams, and the numerous canneries which
have already been established in the great
gold country. Being such bulky COM
municatiOn. it could not be printed with
out proper authority being given. so il was
referred TO the Committee on Printing,
which will probably order that several
hundred copies Of the book with its Illus
trations photographically reproduced, shall
be printed.

No Long Fight Probable.


'When thieves fall out honest get their
due" but when trusts fall out consumers derive
a temporary benefit So long the fight lasts, only
to be robbed all the more ruthlessly When one OF
the combatants swallows the other, or when they
declare truce. and join in new alliance To
pool their issues and squeeze the public harder
than cYer.

The Pension LegisIatiom.-ser

Gallinger speaking for the Committee en-
Pensions handled pension matters without
gloves, and showed himself exceedingly
frank when he made his statement of the
number of pension bill which are being
pressed by the Senators and Representa-
tives, and which have not been before the
Pension Bureau at all The figures he
gave were startling and instructive.
Briefly, this was the account as lie
summed it up in It's items: Special bills
which have already had consideration by
the committee. 2.133; general bills. SO;
bills from the House of Representatives.
71S special. and 81 general, and about 200
more to come. The approximate total OF
all which have had consideration is 2 sos.
while the whole number introduced is
nearly 1000.

Crazy Jane" Nation, the Kansas sa-
loonatic, it is announced. has selected
Muncie, Indiana, as the next objective
point of her crusade, and Is expected
there shortly with a supply of hatchets
and contingent of female wreckers from
the sod huts of her native State. We are
not much disposed to criticise this psrtic-
ular campaign. Muncie is the place from
which much talent has been distributed,
particularly throughout the postal SER
and so did several other Administration
pets, equally as good" Almost anything
in the way of reform might exert salu-
tary effect upon Muncie-even Crazy Jane.

We are glad to hear that the President
has consented TO attend the ceremonies
next Monday in honor of the centennial of
Chief Justice Marshsll's accession to the
Chief Justiceship. 1t will do Mr.. Mckinley
no harm to hear afresh that splendid ut
terance of the departed great one on the
question OF what constitutes the United
States In the famous case Of Loughbor-
ough VS.. Blake Judge Marshall said: Does
this term designate the whole or any par
ticular portion OF the American empire?
Certainly this question can admit of but
one answer. 1t is the name given to our
great Republic, which is composed of
States and Territories. The District of
Columbia. or the territory west Of the
Missouri, is not less within the United
States than Maryland or Pennsylvania"

The Administrations Consistency

Senator Pettigrew does not take much
stock in the idea, which seems to be pre-
vailing abroad, that the Administration,
now that it has successfully been upheld
by the people is altering its attitude to-
ward the Philippines, and adopting harsher
measures. The position of the Admins
trati0n has not changed he said. 1T is
NOT harsher How could it be? From the
very first there has been no consideration,
and no willingness to attempt reaching an
agreement. There has been an uncom-
promising demand for utter and uncondi-
tional submission from the FilIplnos. and
neither the President nor his officers have
varied one hairs breadth from that dur
ing the whole trouble. The election has
made no difference, for / do not see how
ii could make any

of denial from Mr.. Spooner himself. When

CAPITOL NOTES AND GOSSIP.



No Farmers Among Tbem.-Durins
his long speech against the Ship Subsidy
bill yesterday. Senator Berry made a
great point of the fact that though the
measure is supposed 10 be in the interest
OF the farmer, to carry his products 10 the
markets of the world, he was not even
consulted when committee was appointed
20 consider the best kind OF a plan to for
muiate. The Senator pointed out the fact
that on the committee of a score of mem
oers appointed to look into the advisa-
billy of subsidy law, not one practical
farmer could be found One after another
ne TOOK up the names of Cramp, Scott,
and others, showing how they represented
the shipping interests. And here's Mr..
Hanna, continued Senator Berry. Il
have heard him spoken of as representing
everything else in the United States, in
Guiding the Republican party, but l have
never heard him spoken of as representing
the honest farmer"

Need Better Apparatus.

There is a disposition manifested
by several members of the volunteer
fire department to enter gentle pro-
test regarding its equipment as at
present constituted. They say there
is shortage of rubber coats and
hats, while of lanterns the house in
the second ward has none. There
may be sufficient in the rumor to
cause the city council to make an in
vestigation and ascertain the true
state of the case. If the members
of the department give their services
voluntarily, they are entitled, first,
to be well officered; and second, well
equipped. 1t is but justto treat the
men who risk their lives and limbs to
save the property of others, fair and
literally. especially with such appara-
tus as is actually needed to do effisi-
ent work. The RECORD gives the
matter the prominence it deserves.
and means it to be wholly impersonal.

Disappointing.

The most disappointing show of the
season was that called What Did
Tompkins Do" which was pulled off
at the opera house last Saturday
night. Harry Corson Clarke was
supposed to be the leading man and
was advertised as comedian of high
rank. but those who think they know,
claim that Mr.. Clarke after seeing the
size Of the house declined to go on the
stage, and his part was taken by an
understudy of ordinary ability. Wheth-
er this is true or not, the playing by
the leading man would certainly give
foundation for such report.
The bills promised charming girls
in gorgeous gowns" The girls might
have been charming if properly painted
and robed but the gorgeous gowns"
turned out to be very ordinary dresses
which were not changed during the
enUlTe snow.
Several of the characters did not
appear, and much of the play was left
out, the omissions being filed in by
poorly rendered recitations which
were much out OF place. The whole
atmosphere of the stage was that of
school children's entertainment of
a weeks practice.
Manager Bridwell would have been
justified, in fact, would have made
friends for himself and the house if
he had closed the play at the end of
the first act and returned the money
to his patrons.

Died.

At her home in this city, 423 Ma
con avenue, Wednesday morning at
3 o'clock, Mrs. Mary Wilkinson, nee
McFadden, beloved wife of DR.. Chas.
H. Wilkinson, aged "a years.
Mrs. Wilkinson's death came as a
severe shock to this community. as
she was held in high esteem by all
who knew her or came in contact
with her She was conscientious
and devoted christian, untiring in her
efforts to do good in the church and
out. No work either of public or
private nature to alleviate suffering
was avoided by her, and many a pa
tient sufferer will testify as to her
worth. AS an active christian she
was working member of the First
Baptist church of this city, and of
her her pastor says, "a godly woman
has gone from among US, and who
shall fill her place.?
Mary McFadden was born at Belle
vile, Ohio, in 1867, and on June "a,
1891, was united in marriage with
Charles H. Wilkinson. Four years
ago the doctor and wife came to Can
on City, and have surrounded them
selves with friends and admirers un-
numbered. In the sudden death of
his companion. DR.. Wilkinson has suf-
fered an irreparable loss. and to him
is the fullest sympathy of this COM
munity rendered.
The funeral services were held at
2 o'clock this afternoon at the Bap-
tist church, DR.. Harl officiating. The
remains were taken to Mount Vernon,
Ohio, accompanied by the sorrowing
husband and his aged mother.
The doctor will be absent from the
city about ten days.

Wedding Bells.

One of the prettiest home we'd
dings which Canon has seen was the
one on Tuesday at loo p. m. when
Donald F. Cameron was united in
marriage to Miss Vivon E. Rodden.
Rev. H. N. Wilson, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, was the
officiating clergyman, and the beauti-
full ring service of the Presbyterian
church was used. The ceremony was
held at the residence of the brides
parents on South Ninth street. The
guests included the relatives of the
bride and groom and few intimate
friends. After the ceremony the
wedding party was taken to the home
of Mrs. Cameron, on Main street,
where a most tasteful luncheon was
served. A large number of beauti-
full presents attested the esteem in
which the couple are held. The bride
has not long been a resident of Canon
City, but has already made host of
friends who early recognized her
many personal attractions. Mr. Cam
eron is one of our most promising
young men, and the heartiest con-
gratulations and best wishes of the
whole community are extended to
the happy young couple. Among the
guests from abroad were Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Wheeler, of Greedy, Mr..
jones Benedict and daughter, of Dem
yer, relatives of the groom, and Miss
Greene, of Denver.

NOW Don't Complain.

If city grows it must have room
in which to spread out. Then, too,
the streets must necessarily be block
ed with rock, and brick, and lumber
the sidewalks must also he made al
most impossible for time. Do not
look at the present, but cheerfully
think it will not last long and will be
followed by attractive buildings and
fine sidewalks and better streets.
Such is the penalty in growing city,
and that is just what is the matter
with Canon City at this time.

Evening Recital.

The Wednesday Musical club gave
the closing recital for the season last
Monday evening at the First Presby-
terian church. The seating capacity
of the building was taxed to its utter
most. Decorations in pink inter-
twined with smilax were very attrac-
tive and displayed the club colors. A
handsome vase filled with carnations
the club flower added much. The
president, Mrs. A. B. Stewart. presided
assisted by two members of the exscu-
tive committee.
The program was very attractive
in its numbers, but owing to the i'll
ness Of several members all the vocal
numbers except trio were omitted.
The program as rendered was very
entertaining and elected hearty ap-
plause from the audience. The trio
responded to an encore. The musical
evenings are one of Cahon's society
features.
