I'M carter talked the Dill to deaIn III u
"a senate.
The appeal OF Senator Morgan in fave
of the Nicaragua bill was ra Their patheti
when he declared that he wished to r
sign from the committee. il it did nc
pass, when he struggled hard to bring
r to the front. On the reassembling OF tt
v senate after Inauguration conslderab
!. curiosity was aroused to see how Vic
President Roosevelt would preside, e:
a pecially when Senator Frye was seate
e near, quietly watching him. 1t was de
t c1ded that he did very well, although no
so experienced parliament arian as tn
late Mr.. Hobart, but he has evidentl
been printing himself on rules and regula
] tions. Senator Frye has again been in
, stalled president pro tempore, and it il
8 thought that the senate will be able tt
finish its business today or by Monday.
With characteristic energy Mr.. Roose
welt has engaged his house, his seat il
church and made other arrangements
lie had one daughter Alice, about 1G
years OF age by his first wife and his
children by his second wife are hale,
hearty ones. One boy is the image of his
father.
Representative Bartholdt of Missouri
has bought the standin front of the capt.
tai, where the president took the oath OF
otflce and 1t will be put up at st. Louis
tor the tair where it is expected the pres
ident will deliver the address. Senator
Pettigrew OF South Dakota will be miss
ed IN the new senate as an obstruction
list; one OF the amendments to the Army
| ha D4Ta
toward the close, was characteristic
OF the man, THAT the titles of the Presi-
dent shall hereafter be, The President ofthe
so-called Republic of the United States
and the Emperor of the islands of the
Sea- 1t is reported that Senator Chand-
Ter OF New Hampshire, who was not re-
elected is to engage in business in this
city. 1t looks as if all the farmers will
be supplied with seeds since Senator Till
man secured such a heavy appropria-
ton.
1t is doubted if Senator Platt of Con-
necticut will be able to secure cloture or
limit of debate in the senate,-of
course the democrats are opposed to the
measure. OF the Sc senators in session,
IL are new ones to be sworn in, although
tve have been there before. Senator
Bacon OF Georgia declares he will fight
the limit OF debate with all of his powers,
while Senator Mason insists that the
majority should not be at the mercy Of
the minority. He said in the supreme
court, the majority stood as the opinion
OF the whole court. Senator Clark of
Montana received quite an ovation in
flowers.
The board of education of the District |
has been severely taken to task by few |
Jews and Atheists this winter because
they claim that there are some objection
able hymns in "The Students Hymnal."
They object to the name of Jesus, etc.
The clergymen of the city uphold the
board as do the majority of the citizens.
The board made most admirable reply,
basing their opinion upon an exhaustive
paper IN a judgment rendered BY Justice
Brewer of the Supreme Court, some time
since. 1t is pity that every high school
teacher could not possess a copy of it for
-eterence. Gen. Boynton, the new presi-
lent OF the board, reports that there are
grave inaccurles on eimportant facts
n American histories used in the schools
specially in the war of the rebellion, ana
proposes to eliminate certain pages or
lave the errors corrected. The publishers
lave consented to make proper correc-
ions. The four books mentioned are.
'arne's Brief History of the United
states; Montgomery's Leading Facts in
American History; McMasters and
ohnston's School History of the United
states. They thought Fisk's, Ridpath's
nd EggIeston's were accurate. Excep-
ions were taken to Montgomery his.
DRY, page 1872, in regard to Schley's dis
overing Cevera's fleet. The officers of
ne Western Union Telegraph Company
lscovered and reported the discovery to '
he government is only one example of r
rrors found. We noticed recently that
ONE one found the word rebel and rebel
on in history in Georgia and they had {
funeral and buried the book, for they t
ttirmed it should have read confederate. ,
We read OF many names of post Offices
the country lately and noticed that
ne name Paradise occurs in 10 different
.ates, which is matter OF fact if not OF /
nited States history. Delightful is found 4
Ohio, Mckinley occurs II times.

3. So we see the names of our presi- S
ents have been perpetuated in more
avs than one.
