standpoint of eXpediency for the Re
publican party. Those who remember
the incidents attending the close OF
the last session of the present con-
gress can well understand why there
is no prospect that the coming short
session will do anything either in the
way of tariff revision or handling OF
the trusts.
President Roosevelt sent messages
to congress urging action which in
volved both tariff revision and regu-
lation in some way of the trusts. AL
though congress was clearly and fore
IDLY advised of his views from it's
meeting in December, 1901, until it's
adjournment July 2, 1902, and notwith-
standing he sent to it special mes
sage. urging reciprocity with Cuba,
nothing was done that he asked on

these subjects.
In spite of earnest efforts made by
administration supporters, led by Sen
ators Aldrich and Platt, of Connecti-
cut, in several conferences of the Re
publican members of the senate, recip-
rocity was repudiated. Nineteen Re.
publican senators, led by Senator Bur-
rows, of Michigan, thwarted the pur-
pose of the president. Mr.. Burrows
treated the question as protection
ist, declaring that while something
ought to be done for Cuba, it should
not be done by a reduction of the
tariff. At the last Republican confer
ence of senator's, held on June IS, all
of the following senators expressed
themselves as in full accord with the
position of Burrows:
Bard and Perkins, Of California; !;

Mitchell and Simon, of Oregon; Foster
of Washington; Gamble and kittredgc
of South Dakota; Nelson and Clapp, of
Minnesota; Dietrich and Millard, of
Nebraska; Elllins and Scott, of West
Virginia; Mason of Illinois, and Well
ington, of Maryland.
1t will be remembered also that the
concensus of opinion, as expressed at
the time of the failure of the con-
ference, was that, all discussion to the
contrary, no reciprocity measure or
treaty could pass congress which car
ried reduction or removal of the
tariff duties.
Senator Burrows, who last spring
led the opposition to reciprocity be-
cause of it's inconsistency with the
Republican doctrine of protection, is
in Washington, and from what he said
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1902-11-23

his present position is i'll entire keep
ing with that he took last spring.
Some Of the Republican leaders
have been quoted as saying that there
was little to be done at the short ScS-
sion except to pass appropriation bllls.
1t may be that there is little that the
Republicans intend to do, but certain
it is that the Republican congress at
it's adjournment last July left undonc
much that it promised to do, besides
leaving much that was unfinished
business.
Among the more important meas
ures still pending are the following:
The anti-anarchy bill measures on

Archbishop to Crown Them Publicly

The celebration will last four days. To
the principal service in Xavier's Academy
1000 priests and nuns have been invited.
A bishop will celebrate pontifcal high

Archbishop Feehan finally will crown
with gold diadems the three jubilarians
who have fought and worked for half a
century in the interest of faith. education
and souls
The jubilee gifts to the order already
received from friends and admirers of the
three sisters reach many thousand dollars
in value. A large marble altar has been
erected by the nuns themselves in their
chapel to commemorate the event and
as memorial of gratitude for the
blessings conferred during the 20 years of
their religious life upon their beloved su-
perlor. The alumnae of the school have
given costly onyx, marble and brass al

THUMB RING LORE.
Some Famous Specimens and Distin
guished Wearers.

The custom of wearing rings upon the
| thumb prevailed in England until the
| close of the 18th century and is of very
| ancient origin. There is a mummy case
| n the British museum which repre-
| sents an Egyptian lady wearing rings
| upon the thumbs of both her hands.
| The Romans were greatly addicted to
| this practice, and as many of their
| thumb rings were most cumbersome
and inconvenient the patricians varied
their rings with the season, terming
them Summer or Winter rings, as
the case might be.
During his visit to Rome Addison
saw some of these old rings, and COM
ments thus upon them: so very thick
about and with such large stones in
them that it's no wonder a fop should
reckon them little cumbersome in the
summer season of so hot a climate"
The Emperor Trajan possessed a win
ter thumb ring which measured some
three and a half inches in width and
bore a bust in high relief of his consort,
Plotina. English thumb rings do not
appear to have been less massive. Dur
ing the latter part of the middle ages
they formed part of the necessary
adornment of a bishop when he was
arrayed in full pontificals.
Thomas a Beckett possessed thumb
ring set with valuable ruby, which
was about the size OF hens egg. This
ring was a gift from Louis VII. of
France. At the reformation, Bluff
King Hal seized the archbishOp's ring
from his despoiled shrine, and took it
for his own personal adornment, thus
bringing thumb rings back into fashion
for a while. They had long been
abandoned by the upper classes, and
had come to be considered as Indicative
of the burgess class.
Thumb rings were often set with the
tooth of some animal as an amulet. a
VOLTS tooth was supposed to act as a
charm against assault, while a badgers
tooth brought wealth and general good
luck. The crapadine, or toadstone, was
also used in this way, as it was sup
posed tOpossess various mystic virtues,
one of which being the power of warn
ing its wearer of the presence of poison
in his food or drink by changing its
color.
The mystic word "Anamyaptus" was
often engraved upon thumb ring as a
charm against epilepsy or cramp. This
was in accordance with an old super
stition. which gives this word as a cure
for the falling sickness" Another
favorite preventive of epilepsy was a
silver thumb ring engraved in Gothic
characters with the names of Jasper.
Meichoir and Belthazar, the three wise
men from the East. In 1.-THE Suuire's
Tale Chaucer mentions a magical
thumb ring worn by Canace, the
daughter of '.Cambuscan Bold" which
gave her a complete knowledge of the
medicinal values of herbs and enabled
her to converse with birds in their own
language.
Wedding rings were formerly worn
upon the thumb, but did not always
stay there. In the ancient ritual OF
marriage the bridegroom was directed
to place the ring upon the thumb at
the words. with all my worldly goods
thee endow.'' moving it to the other
fingers in succession.-The London
Lazy.

For 40 days the prisoner attended the
