OKLAHOMANS
Inaugural Date Asked TO be
Changed by Grimes.

Because Committee Motives
Might be Mi8sinterpretted.
REQUEST NOT GRANTED

Guthrie, Hay William Crimes Of
Kingasher. the newly appointed secre-
tary for Oklahoma, was in this city
today, and when asked about when he
would assume the duties Of the Office
and who would be his chef clerk, he said
4 suppose I viii take up the Office OF
secretary when AIr. jenkins takes the
oath as governor As to the chief clerk
ship. It IS a matter that have given no
thought Time enough for that when I
get to be secretary.
81 came over here to settle some pri-
vate matters Of business so as TO be able
to devote my time to my new duties. I
also wished to see the committee that
has charge of the inaugural ceremonies,
and to urge that .4e date be changed
from Monday, May lS, to Tuesday, May
a I only have one object in view in
the premises and that IS the convenience
of the people on the west side who viii
desire to attend the Inauguration. If
Monday is adhered they win be put 70
great disadvantage. as the branch roads
running into the capital city run no
trains on Sunday, and visitors viii be
obliged to come to Guthrie on Saturday
or else miss the event. II the date is
changed 20 the next day no such incon-
venience viii result"
Mr. Crimes saw Governor-Elect Jen-
kins and was informed that the matter
was in the hands Of committees already
appointed. and that it made no difference
TO him when the Inauguration took place,
and that he was willing to leave the
whole matter to those in charge. After
consultation with the committee on ar
rangements, it was decided after list
ening to Mr.. Cranes statements, 70
not change the date from Monday. the
18th, but to postpone any feature of the
exercises until after 2:50 in the after
neon, so as 10 give all @ change to get to
this city. This was satisfactory to Mr..
Grimes.
At the meeting Of the committee yes
terday afternoon it was decided TO hold
the inaugural ball on the evening Of the
18th, on tho lower floor Of the Cassidy
hail and the banquet and other ceremon-
ies on the second floor. Hon Tom r.
Reid of El Reno was chosen for toast
master 1t was voted unanimously that /
no wines of any kind be served, simply !
lemonade and fruit punch
In regard TO the refusal OF the com /
mittea TO change the date of the fnaugu- /
RAJ from the 18th to the 18th the old SUI
perstition that 70 was an unlucky num- /
ber played prominent part. Several /
members Of the committee stated that If /
the change was made that it would be /
charged that because the date fen on /
.--e 18th it was set ahead for supersti- /
uous reasons. and they refused to be
made party TO any such false theories.

"vILLAoE POSTMASTER" RAIN.
The Way the Stage Rainmnker Brings 1t
and Disposes of 1t.

The Way the Stage Rainmaker Brings 1t
and Disposes of 1t.
Many who have witnessed the per-
foRapance of 1.-The Village Postmaster"
in the Great Northern theater have
wondered how it was possible to turn
real water on the stage in the first act
without completely flooding the the
ater and the dressing rooms and all
the people who failed to run away in
time. says the Chicago Chronicle. The
rain storm is manufactured by very
simple device and, while about ten
barrels of water falls during the
storm, there is no flood, and every
thing is so well arranged that none of
the performers gets even damp unless
some accident occurs.
Two perforated iron pipes reaching
entirely across the stage are concealed
in the flies, where they take up little
room, one about six feet behind the
other When the signal is given for
the storm the water is turned on and
pours down upon the stage. From
the front 1t looks as though the entire
stage were deluged Behind The
scenes, however. it can be seen that
the water is coming down in two
streams. Onlookers see Frank Nor
daunt, the village postmaster, standing
in the rain, and they wonder how he
dries his costume to use 1t for another
act. In reality Mr.. Mordaunt Is stand
ing between two lines of rain" and
does not get wet at all, although he
occasionally puts his umbrella under
the falling water in order to heighten
the realistic effect.
The water falls upon big rubber
blanket which is lying on the stage Mt
the opening of the act In the center
of this blanket is brass funnel lead
ing through hole in the stage to an
outlet below. The moment the cur
tain falls dozen stage hands seize the
blanket and lift up the corners, so
that the water is drained off very
quickly. The stage is left perfectly
dry and it takes only about two min
utes longer to set the next scene than
1t would under ordinary circumstances.
A rain storm was first successfully
initiated in this country when THE
Village Postmaster" was produced.
The effect had been obtained in Euro
pean theaters before, but only by de-
luging the stage and all the members
of the company. n process that made
the stage rain storm both unpopular
and Improbable.

PEERAGES

Lotteries, love stories and politics
have founded more British peerages
than ancient descent and deeds of
arms. In the sixteenth century Lon
don Bridge was covered with shops,
and the most prosperous shopkeeper
on the bridge was William Hewitt, a
worthy linen draper. who had accumu-
lated a fortune, and from his promi
nence in his guild looked forward to
changing his yardstick for knights
sword and getting a titled husband for
his only daughter, Anna, who was his
heiress. In the shop of William Hewitt
was an apprentice. Edward Osborne.
who naturally fell desperately in love
with his masters daughter, the fair
Anna. Old Hewit's family lived over
the shop, and the apprentice boarded
with them, sleeping under the counter

all his wealth to his daughter and her

was abandoned, and Edward Osborne
discovering that his family, or at least
a family of the same name, had been
known in Kent as far back as the days
of Henry VI. set up coat-of-arms and
became man of affairs and a politi-
clan. He was elected lord mayor of
London and received the honor of
knighthood from Queen Elizabeth. Ed

1t is interesting to recall that just
as the present Edward VII. chose his
second baptismal name as the one by
which he wished to be designated
when he mounted the throne, so like
wise his great-uncle, William Henry,
would have preferred to be known as
Henry TX, says the Literary Era. One
of the reasons for this preference was
the desire to establish lawful right to
a title which had already been arro-
gated by the Cardinal of York, the last
of the Stuart pretenders. When the
question, however. came up for discus-
sion by the Privy Council, the latter
decided in favor Of King William VII.

Fashion Regulates the Selling Price of
the Different Varieties

The price of fur is governed to
great extent by fashion. Many years
ago beaver was in demand; then mink;
now it is marten. Mink is also be-
coming favorite once more. Skunk is
used largely, being dyed and sold un-
der the name of some more fashion
able brother, such as sable. Beaver Is
a very heavy-skinned animal; also
the fur is thick and of great weight,
which initiates against its use. This
fur is used to a great extent in max
ing the finer quality of hats. The yield
of beaver skins has fallen off greatly,
the decrease being a fair illustration of
how the fur animal is passing. In
1S75-76 the return of beaver pelts from
Northern Canada was $4,000. Last
year there were about 5000 skins
brought in. Marten is light, beautiful
and warm, therefore there is much
sense in Its vogue. Mink is probably
the most beautiful of all fur outside OF
that OF the four royal animals-sea-
otter, black fox, sable and seal. A sea-
otpf has been known to bring nearly
twrsthousand dollars, and a single
bla&,fox has sold for half as much. A
choice dark marten would bring from
SIS to 500; but the general price is
from Sc to $40. Otter is worth from
IS to $12; fisher about the same; bea
yer, Sc; mink, 50 to "a; and skunk, 81
to 50. Lynx are caught in great num-
oers in the north, and the skin makes
fair lining for cloaks. Considering the
size it is very cheap-from 81 to SO.
Bear, musk-ox, wolf and badger have
eaken the place of the almost extinct
buffalo as robes. The musk-ox skin,
worth about $25 in it's raw state. is a
beautiful, heavily-furred, long-haired

The admirers of Eugene Field will be
Interested in a new volume OF verses by
him published by Tandy. Wheeler a. Co.
on Denver. The verses were originally
printed in the Denver Tribune when Mr..
Field was on Its editorial stan. Many
of the poems have n local interest to
Coloradoans In addition to their literary
merit All of them are permeated with
that sympathy and pathos which was
such marked characteristic of his later
work. We understand the advance sale
of this book has been very large, and 1t
will undoubtedly run through several
editions.
