Committees Bic Task

There was JOY in the ranks of the
executive committee last night that the
perpleXing question had finally been
disposed Of For the queen was not
named without a struggle. Three
weeks ago the executive committee
found itself, in the parlance of the
street, up against it." Having been
unable TO make a selection out of the
then comparatively few names that
had been suggested, it graciously
turned the matter over to the lodge.
The lodge Immediately turned 1t back
to the executive committee by unani-
NOUS resolution. empowering this body
to select the queen So the committee
consisting OF Director General St~u
Exalted Ruler Freed. A E. Lyon. c. o.

about this time struck out for Seattle
TO do some advertising" His fore
sight was keen. Thus were the other
members left to fight the battle
Two weeks ago 100 names had been
suggested, and after good deal of
work and engineering. the number OF
possibilities was reduced 10 fifteen BY
Friday night last there were but FIVE
names before the committee, a few
having withdrawn and others having
been eliminated from the race for vari-
Gus reasons. principal among which
was that there could only be one
queen. Mr.. Lyon was absent from the
committee meeting that evening and
this left one candidate for each member

LAUDANUM BY THE QUART.
A Camden Woman Drinks Poison in
Large Quantities.

CAMDEN. N J., July IA woman
about thirty-five years of age was found
unconscious on stem at Eighth and
Market Streets yesterday afternoon.
She was taken to the Cooper Hospital
and when she had been restored to con-
sciousness she described herself as
Mrs. Mary johnson. widow. living at
ll0S South Fourth Street. She confessed
to having taken an overdose of laudanum
with suicidal intent while worrying over
the arrest of her daughter Mrs. Emma
Twoes, who is confined in the county
Jail on a charge of maintaining a dis
orderly house on South Fourth Street.
Two quart bottles, both empty and un-
labeled. were found alongside Mrs. John
son. and she said that both had been
filed with laudanum and sold to her by
a downtown druggist at 40 per quart.
She declared that the druggist had sold
her the drug without a prescription.
without registering the sales. and with
that the druggist had sold quart of
daughter She stated further that she
was in the habit of drinking two to four
whisky glasses full of the drug in one
day.
Last evening Mrs. Johnson's condition
was so much improved that she was per-
mitted to go to her home,
The druggist OF whom Mrs. Johnson
said she bought the drug in such large
quantities denied her statement, but said
there was no law to prevent him from
selling a quart. He was positive that
his last sale of quart in one quantity,
was made three years ago.

Representative McDermott of New Jer-

THE RECESS APPOINTMENTS.
A Question Ms to when They Expire
Has Been Raised.

An interesting question now under con-
sid aratien by the Treasury Department
involves the date of expiration of the
term Of four years of officials who held
office under recess appointments before
confirmation by the Senate. There has
been some diversity in precedents, but
for some years past it has uniformly
been held that terms begin with taking
the oath of Office and that subsequent ap-
proval of a recess nomination by the SEN
ate merely confirms the original appoint
ment
The question was raised through some
difference of opinion regarding the tenure
of the Commissioner of Immigration at
New York. Thomas Fitchie. who will re-
tire at tn" close of his present term. Com
missioner Fitchie was first nominated on
July II, 1S91, but the Senate adjourned
ten days later, letting the nomination die
without approval The President gave Mir.
Fitchie recess appointment on July %.
and on August the commissioner took
the oath and entered upon his duties. The
following winter, on January 8, 1SyS his
nomination was again sent to the Senate,
where it was confirmed on March 81 and
a commission was issued to Mr.. Fitchie
bearing that date
Assistsut Secretary Taylor. who has
gone on a long vacation, expressed the
opinion several days ago that Mr..
Fitchie's successor need not be appointed
until next March, but the question will be
taken up by Secretary Gage in few
days, and a decision will be made on the
statutory points involved.

THE VIRGINIA SITUATION.
Live state Issues More Important
Than Dead National Ones.

"I1nless the unexpected should happen,
you will see the Democratic State Con-
vention, which will be held In Norfolk
on August H. do as their Democratic
brethren did in the recent convention at
Columbus. Ohio-ignore the Kansas City
PLATFORM" remarked Judge ]. NJ. Lane,
of Fairfax, Va, last evening.
THE Republicans and some Democrats
say that because the Ohio Democrats
did not reaffirm the Kansas City plat
form. and endorse Bryan. that they have
repudiated the Nebraska Democrat. This
is not so. Bryan has as many friends and
admirers in the South today. as he had
in 1900. but StIte campaign is different
from national campaign. The Kansas
City platform md Bryan have no place
in State platform, and for that reason.
in my judgment. we will make no men
tion of either in the platform to be adopt
ed 1T Norfolk
The Virginia Democrats are not think
ing of the past, but are looking to the
future. For the time being the increased
output OF the gold mines has settled the
silver question, and the Republicans will
fail in any attempt to revive the issue
of u 10 l.
The Democrats. of course, will elect
their ticket in Virginia. and they have
an excellent chance to win in Ohio The
elimination of the Kansas City platform
in the Democratic State conventions to
be held this year WILL in my judgment
solldify the Democrats everywhere

WHIPPED IN DRENCHING RAIN.
A Negro Bicycle Thiefs Second Pun
ishme1t Not Light.

: GEORGETOWN. Del. July 1i.-Henry ].
Walker, a negro. who admits having
stolen bicycle, and having been whip
ped before for stealing a watch. was given
twenty lashes yesterday in the drench-
ing rain, after he had undergone an hour
in the pillory. More than 100 persons
stood under umbrellas to see the punish
ment inflicted. (
When Walker stood at the whipping
post year ago, and was logged by
Sheriff Robert Short he said: "Oh. is that
all ii is,'' and laughed as they took him
back to his cell
Deputy Sheriff James Marsh resolved
that Walker should have a different ex-
perience from his former one. and the
sheriff went out early. as is the custom in
old Sussex. and cut a half dozen sharp
rods. four feet long With three of these
he logged the big colored man. using one
of holly, one of maple and one of hickory.
Finally Walker burst out crying. and
begged the sheriff to desist, declaring that
he would never steal again. Looking like
a drowned rat Walker was led back to
his cell, where he cried for nearly an hour.

SENATORS BY APPOINTMENT.
But Few of Them Have Succeeded
Themselves in the Past.

The appointment of A. 3. Kittredge by
the Governor of South Dakota in place
of Senator Kyle creates interest in some
previous appointments in connection with
subsequent elections by State Legisla-
lures. especially as it is believed here,
where he is well known. that Mr. Kilt
redge will be a candidate for election.
Both Senators from California, Messrs.
Perkins and Bard, were appointed to fill
vacancies tie former of Leland Stanford,
the latter by failure of the Legislature
to elect. Mr.. Perkins was chosen by the
Legislature for the full term, which he
is now serving. Patrick Walsh in 1894
was appointed by the Governor of
Georgia to succeed Senator Colquitt, de
ceased, but was not candidate for cleo
ton before the Legislature. When Sena-
tor Whites-of Louisiana was appointed
to the Supreme Court the Governor ap-
pointed Representative Blanchard. who
was afterward an unsuccessful candidate
for election to the Senate.
on the death of Senator Stockbridge. OF
Michigan the Governor appointed 'oni
Patton, Jr.. as his successor, and he was
defeated for election by kepresentatlNe
Burrows. The Mississippi Legislature, at
ter sharp contest, chose eX-Represehld-
tive Money Senator after he had succeed
ID mis- friend. Senator George, by appoint
ment. Tire late Senator Vance of North
Carolina was succeeded by appointment
by Ex-Governor Jarvis. who was limited
to the short appointive term by the
change of political complexion in the Leg
islature Senator Hanna was appointed
by Governor Bushnell to succeed Senator
Sherman when the latter became Secre-
tary of State. After contest the Iegis-
lature chose Senator Hanna his own sue
cessor.
Nathan F. Dixon. of Rhode Island, re
tired from the Senate after a few years
service by appointment of the Governor.
On the death of Jsham G.. Harris the Gov
ernor OF Tennessee appointed Thomas
Turley, who was not returned by the Leg
islature.
Roger Q. Mills defeated for Senator be
fore the Texas Legislature Horace Chill
ton, whom the Governor had appointed to
fill a vacancy, but later Mr.. Chiffon was
elected to fill an unexpircd term. Jona-
than Ross, who succeeded Senator Nor
rill. of Vermont. retired at the end OF the
= rm for which he was appointed.
These instances in the last few years
indicate that most of the precedents are
against the Governors appointees sue
ceeding themselves. 1t is recalled that
Senator Burrows has proposed an amend
ment to the Constitution providing that
in the event of vacancy. by death or
in the Senate there shall be

WICHITA. Kan, July H.-The two reg
istration camps, Ell Reno and Lawton,
Okla. are both filled to overfiowing with
homeseekers-men who have come to
draw for farms In the new Kiowa-Co-
manche country, which is to be opened
on August G. in accordance with procia-
nation by the President
The registration booths were opened for
receiving applications onTuesday morn
ing at o'clock. and already five hundred
persons had formed in line at Lawton and
twice that number at Ell Reno. The line
has continued to grow longer all the
while, and no less than sixty thousand.
and perhaps one hundred thousand. will
take part in the drawing. The applicants
for free farms go to these registration
booths and make affidavit to the effect
that they have never before exercised
their rights under the homestead law. do
not own quarter section of land in any
part of the United States, and they are
duly recognized citizens of the United
States. The applicant then receives a
number, and is entitled to go on the re-
serVations to be opened on August and
look the land over. On July % the regis
tration booths will close, and all who
have not received permission to take part
in the drawing can go no further toward
getting home in the new country.
But those ticket holders who stood in
line and secured these privileges will
meet at the FL Reno and Lawton land
offices on August and draw for farms.
The drawing will be conducted as set
forth in the Presidents proclamation.
Lucky men who draw farm for a prize
can then proceed at once to the reserva-
ton and pick out the farm. FL Reno is
now the Mecca toward which all the
Southwest is journeying. Every train Is
loaded to the limit and others are going
overland. From a small village of three
thousand people Ell Reno has increased to
a thriving town of fifty thousand Tents
are stretched around the town for miles,
and everything is selling at three prices
The number of applicants is far in ex-
cess of those expected by the Government
clerks. w. A. Richards, Assistant Com
missioner of the Land Office. has thirty
five experienced men from Washington
helping him with the work. and they have
not rest until late at night.

CORPORATION TAXES IN MAINE.
4 Small Revenue Likely to BE Real
ized From the New Law.

AUGUSTA, Ne, July 1.-THE result of
the law enacted by the Legislature last
winter imposing a special tax upon cor
porations organized under the laws of the
State is not likely to prove so beneficial
to the State as the sponsors of the scheme
hoped Members of the State Grange
took hold of the measure and secured
its passage. They believed that the in
come from a tax on corporation fran
chises would reach 100000 annually. The
State assessors have Just completed the
work of assessing the tax in accordance
with the new law. The number of com
panies liable to the tax is little more
than 200. Several companies which have
failed to file annual returns on account
of ceasing 70 do business nave been ex-
cused from so doing while their franchises
remain unused.
The Secretary of State is now engaged
in notifying the companies that the tax
has been assessed against them and that
the amount due must be paid into the
Sta.e treasury on or before September !
1t is estimated by those in a position to
know that the total tax on franchises
will not exceed S5O,ep5.
All corporations organized under the
laws of the State, excepting religious.
charitable educational, and benevolent
associations, and those liable to a fran
chise tax under special laws, must an
nually pay IS on a capital stock of $50 OdO
$40 on a capital stock Of s5O000 to $780,
ga on a capital OF <2O9,o0e to S5O0,0G0 $50 on
a capital of S500QD0 to 100000. and the
further sum of s25 for each 81, 900. 900 of
capital. or any part Of that sum in ,Acess
of 81, 100000
The sw CORPORATION law also provides
that companies with very large CAPITAL
may now be organized, the limit of SO
O00 900 having been removed. company
was organized recently with a capital of
81 900 900: also one with s12 500. 900 There
are several with S5.000,O0) and $1,000, 900
capital stock.
The legislative financiers counted upon
an income of at least SlVOOt0 annually as
and many appropriations were made be
cause of such expectation. A so per cent
reduction will be severely felt at the State
treasury.

actual cost to Washington of those few
days of torrid heat but that II reached
several hundred thousand dollars cannot
be doubted. In summer time the average
temperature in the District is about 50
degrees. and the above statement shows
in general way what is to be expected
from the addition of Is degrees of heat to
that average. If we could conceive of a
temperature in Washington of Ito de-
grees continuously for one month. the city
would be depopulated. Those who did not
die would flee for their lives to cooler
Cline. Industry would cease and famine
would complete the picture of desolation.
