INDIANS HAVE DAY IN HOUSE
Education of Red Men in East Or
posed in Vain-Csriisie school
Retained.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2O.-The house spent
the day working on the Indian appropFia-
tion bill. Forty-two Of the sixty-two pages
we're disposed OF. Several amendments
we're adopted. but none OF much import
ance. The appropriation for preliminary
work on the reservoir for the Gila river
went out on a point OF order. Mr.. Smith
Of Arizona offered an amendment to strike
out the appropriation for the Carlisle school
and It became the text for a general on
slaught on the practice Of educating In
dians In eastern schools. His amendment
was defeated.
Just before the close Of the session Mr..
Fitzgerald OF New York made an attack
upon the superintendent OF the school at
Mount Pleasant, Mich, who, he said, was
charged with permitting the debauching Of
Indian girls. Mr.. Sherman, chairman OF
the Indian committee, promised to make an
investigation at the Indian once tomorrow.
Mr.. Sherman explained thai the bill
carries Ss,441. sos, being $1.3N2S4 more
than the estimates, but $1.297,515 less
than the amount carried by the current Law.
Mr. Little Of Arkansas offered an amend
ment to direct the commissioner Of Indian
Affairs ''to examine and report the feasible
ity and eXpediency OF educating the Indians
in schools upon the reservations and in
communities where such Indians reside. and
to submit the best plan to accomplish this
end TO congress next session" 1t was

RoSEBERY LEAVES HIS PARTY
Declares He Cannot support Liberal
Cause LOnger-Time for Posi-
tive Action.


LONDON, Feb. 21.-As an outcome Of the
polemic concerning the relations between
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, Lord
Rosebery and the liberal party, Lord Rose
berry has written to the Times. declaring
frankly that he remains outside Sir Henrys
tabernacle. but not, he thinks, in solitude.
'"At this moment Of definite separation"
says Lord Rosebery, nobody appreciates
more heartily than I do the well-inten-
toned devotion Of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman to the liberal party and what
he concelves to be its interests. only
wish could have shared his labors and
supported his policy
Lord Roseberys reply. therefore, marks
a definite separation from the liberal party.
Referring to this matter sditorially the
Times remarks that tke rupture is now
complete and that Lord Rosebery stands
committed to action. He must know, says
the Times, that 1t is not enough to de-
clare independence he must adopt and
pursue with untiring energy a policy of re-
construction"

They Have a Curious Effect on I'm.
wary Pedestrians.
Slippery sidewalks that have been the
rule for the past few mornings have tended
to bring out emphatically one of the pecu-
liar sides Of human nature. No matter
how much the fall Injuries man physical
ly, 1t seems as nothing to the damage to
his self-esteem If perchance his misfortune
happens to be witnessed by some one else.
The first thing the unfortunate does after
picking himself up Is to look all about him
with an idiotic smile on his face just as If
he took the whole thing as a joke, but anx-
icus to see if any one has seen his tumble.
If there happens to be some one near by
who has witnessed the fall the smile van
ishes and there is a display of temper that
Is ludicrous. It Is his hat that suffers. 1t
is pounded instead of brushed, as If that
hat was responsible for the humiliation. or
as If he could get square with the hat by a
'rough-house" sort of brushing. If, how
ever, no che is in sight and no face is seen
at window, the unfortunate goes his way
after a few preliminary limps as If the
thing was matter-of-course incident that
must be taken good-naturedly in common
with the other trifling affairs of lifetime
The result Is about the same when a soft
slushy snow ball, hurled by mischievous
boy. finds its mark on the broad back of

How 1t Got p Business Man Out of a
~ Hole.
''There Is absolute wit in some mems
nerve" said a business man Of Washington
to a Star reporter few nights ago. "My
partner and I, with the intention Of ex-
panding our business, about year ago, de-
cided to send Ia representative through the
south. We looked over the field carefully
and. finally picked out young man who
we& possessed of good address and who we
felt sure would do the work.
"He had been convivial In former days.
but his department had been such for a
year that 1t made US feel confident he
would do the proper thing. He was given
,$400 for texepeiises and was started out on
the mission. 1t was the understanding that
she was to make daily report of his efforts
1.-Two months passed by and we never
heard from him. We telegraphed repeated
ly to different towns that were on his itin-
erary, but not word could be learned re-
garding whereabouts Finally one day
a hurried telegram, collect, came 1t read:
'''I am not selling many goods, but am
making fine impression Wire 500 quick
THE nerve Of the fellow got our nerve,
and, do you know. We wired him the 500.
And afterward he made good. We have
never asked him what he did during the
two months. And he has never broached
the subject to u.s. 1t was the wit that
pleased u.s."

may be seen tonight directly beneath Ca
pelia. The binary character of these two
stars-and Of three others-was discovered
al the Harvard College observatory from
examination OF series OF photographs of
their spectra, the clue to their binary char
acter being periodical doubling of their
spectral lines, caused by the varying We
Iccitles or the relative motions of the COM
ponent stars toward or from us as they
circle In their orbits
The "Demon- Star
Very nearly overhead at the hour OF our
observation. at about two-fifths OF the dis
tance from the Pleiades to the center OF
Cassiopeia, may be seen the famous vari-
able star Beta PerseI, better known by its
Arabic name Algol-al Ghul. the Demon"
With the aid of the chart Il should be
identihed easily. Observe that II forms with
Capella and Aldebaran a nearly eoual-sided
triangle. Ordinarily this star is of the sec
ono magnitude. but at regular intervals OF
little under three days ii undergoes a re-
markabie change, falling in the space of
about four hours to the fourth magnitude
and In the next four hours recovering its
usual brightness. The cause of this un-
canny behavior Of the star is now known
TO be the passage round IL OF a dark satel-
lite, or companion, which passing periodi-
cally between the bright star and us cuts
or portion of its light. About twenty
variable stars of the Algol type are known.
of which number only four are visible to
the naked eye
Minima Of Algol at hours convenient for
observing occur this month as follows: On
the 9Th of the month at $50 pm; I'D at
IL 20 pm; 18th at $40 pm
The Planets.
Mercury Will be an evening star through
out the month, but will not be far enough
from the sun to be visible until near the
close OF the month.
Venus now shines with her greatest bril-
liancy as an evening star. forming mag
nificent ornament Of the southwestern even
ing sky for fully three hours after sunset.
She is slowly moving northward and by
the close of the month will set nearly In the
west.
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are evening
stars. but are too close to the sun to be
visible. The latter two will become morn
ing stars before the close OF the month.
Uranus is now morning star but invisible
in the twilight glow. Neptune, never visible
to the naked eye. is evening star in

EXPERT TESTIMONY.
A Suggestion That May Prove to BE
of Value.

Suggestion That May Prove to BE
of Value.
''The recent trial Of Mrs Bonine accused
of the murder of James Seymour Ayres, jr.
the acquittal of the defendant marking
the climax of the famous Kenmore Hotel
tragedy-clearly demonstrated the utter
worthlessness of expert testimony as at
present employed declared prominent
member Of the local bar to Star reporter.
Take a criminal proceeding, for in
stance" added the lawyer. ''The United
States attorney calls to the stand as a wit
ness an individual learned in his particular
profession, who tesufies as an expert in a
manner damaging to the defendant When
their inning is reached counsel for the
accused invariably have an expert appear
before the court and jury who Is equally
prominent as the individual summoned in
behalf Of the prosecution, and who contra
diets the assertions Of the latter in toto.
In other words, experience would seem to
indicate that it is always possible to find
experts. they being men who are entirely
honest in making their statements. to tes-
tify both for and against any stated propo-
sition.
II have been given to understand" the
speaker further said, that an effort will
be made during the present session of Con-
gress to secure legislation that will result
in decided improvement over the prevail
ing situation I have just described. The
idea Is to ask Congress to authorize the
courts of the District of Columbia to sum-
mon experts when necessary. An expert
of known standing and attainments, called
by the court, would not be Influenced, even
unconsciously, by the fact that he was en-
ployed by one side or the other He would
begin and conduct his experiments COM
pletely. unbiased, the only purpose being to
bring to light the real facts bearing on the
case. Both the defense and the prosecu-
tion would have equal opportunity to in
terrogate the expert engaged by the court.
Every member Of the bar to whom
have broached the subject" concluded the
lawyer, "agrees with me that the sugges-
ton should be enacted as law, and the
chances are that 1t will be done within the
next few months

The man with so many empty books

from saloons. and while they were sup
posed to have cost nothing they were really
expensive.
I'm not frequenter of drinking places"
he said. but do take nip occasionally.
When l was told of the advertising pocket
books l started to make the rounds of the
places. In the first one I got off with the
expenditure of nickel, but the second ad-
vertisement cost me just % cents. The six
pocket books cost me $2S5, and when I
reached home my wife scolded me because
she thought I had made too many social
calls.
What did I do with the pocket books?"
