WASHINGTON NOTES.

| The first railroad dining car was cal
led the Delmonico and was built by the
Pullmans in 1866.
| 1t is quite true that the tariff NAV
need some surgical attention. but the
people will see to it that the cutting is
zone with lancet, not with bat
tie AK.
Great Salt Lake is at the lowest level
since observations of it have been re-
corded In nine years it has lost six
feet in depth and in some places has
narrowed nearly mile.
1t is estimated that this years cotton
crop will aggregate 9,7OO,0O0 bales
which is a slight decrease from the
crop of last year. 1t is usual to figure
bale as containing 500 pounds.
During the year 1901 the United
States produced 3,so5,500 ounces of
gold valued at S7s, 500, 700 and 55.214,-
600 ounces of silver valued at S3a, 12S,-
400. Colorado produced more gold and
silver than any other state. Texas
produced but $500 worth of gold and
Alabama but 500 worth of silver
Justice Shiras expresses his views on
the labor question as follows: The
incorporation of labor unions is the
primary step toward the passage of an
arbitration law, The unions must be
responsible for the carrying out of an
agreement and until they are there is
little hope for compulsory arbitration
of labor troubles.
The people like man. Mere orators
NAV please and amuse them, as other
artists do, but when they find man
they are apt to stick to him. Mr.
| Roosevelt has honesty, ability and
courage as is shown not only by his
present speeches but by his life work,
and the people won't forget that he Is
not only pleasant but has common
! sense.

The advancement Club picnic.

The Wauwatosa Advancement Club
picnic at Diamonds woods on Satur-
day last, was an enjoyable affair and
well attended by the club members,
their families and friends. The ar
rangement committee. had satisfact-
orily completed preparations on
the grounds. and the lemonade com
mittee was at work preparing that
regulation picnic drink when the visi-
tors began to appear. 7. NJ. Ham
mond, chairman of the picnic commit
tee. introduced DIR. Thain as the
speaker of the day and the audience
was treated to an original poem des-
criptive of advancement and develop
ment and incidentally suggesting ques-
tions of ancestry. The remarks were
well received.
Several tugs of war were INDUCED
in, and the record shows that it took
DR.. Wendell and his braves less than
ten seconds to pull the city attorney
and his team oyer the line and in fact
all to pieces, but it took Henry Hum
ter's imported experts about eighteen
times as long to beat the local giants
anchored by Henry Watner The boys
also had several tugs in which they did
exceedingly well.
The game of base ball between Cap
tains Godfrey and Gregg, under direc-
ton of e. NJ Lewis, was for time the
star attraction, and the game seemed
to progress quietly and one-sidedly for
d few minutes under the rulings of
Umpire Gridley, but when Charles
Stafford took the field to relieve Mr.
Gridley from the dangerous avocation,
trouble began, His rulings were
prompt, in fact it was said that Stat
ford was as prompt in his rulings as
though he were justice of the peace
nothing was taken under advisement
with him-sO prompt was he that the
pitcher was advised before the ball
lett ms hand IN its voyage for glory,
exactly what the ruling was to be-
In their desperation the other side was
forced to pay to the umpire retainers of
various kinds and the trips taking the
payments became SO numerous that
objection arose and MIR. Stafford was
obliged to save himself by flight
The foot races, walking matches and
potato races participated in by the
smaller boys, were numerous and re-
markable
After the games were over hot coffee,
sandwiches and cake were served, and
about six O'Clock the people departed
for their homes and the picnic was over
and pleasant success.

Climbing to the dizzy height of 1876
feet, Prof, Stanley will leap-from the
topmost part of the watertower to
tank beneath, not only once but daily
during the great Elks Carnival taking
place in Americas in November.
This will be big feature OF the fair,
eclipsing anything of like kind ever
witnessed here before.
Stanley is a world renowned leaper,
and at the EIks Carnival in Atlanta
next week will Jump from the roof OF
the Empire building, 24O feet.
The Americas Elks were fortunate in
securing HIM as an attraction, and they
are after other fine ones as well. To
the end of getting just what they want
a committee will be sent next Tuesday
to attend the Atlanta carnival.
Hundreds of fine attractions of vari
Gus kinds will be seen there.
And the Americus committee will
pick out the best of these shows and
contract with them to come to Ameri-
Gus for the first week in November.
That is the date of the Elks carnival
here, and the very best of everything
in the amusement line will be cor
nered for it, 1t is proposed to make
the Elks show in Americas the best of
it's kind ever witnessed in Georgia.
BThe Cincinnati Amusement Co has
been secured by the Americas Elks.
This company will likewise be in At
lanta next week,
The Americas committee going there
next week will carefully inspect all of
the attractions presented by the Gin
cinnati company and will be in a posi-
ton to Judge their merits Americas
wants only the cleanest and tue best
shows there.
The balloon feature here will be as
great, or even greater, than the leap
from the water tower.
AS stated already, the aeronant, while
more than half mile above the earth,
will be fired ont OF big cannon at
tached to the bottom of his balloon.
In mid air he opens a parachute and
descends IN perfect safety,
This is one of the most daring feats
ever performed and will be one of the
score of fine free attractions at the
Americas fair in November.
