Fifteen copies will also be preserved

the Library of Congress, while the 500
odd copies remaining the members of
Congress may have bound in gay-col-
ored half-morocco, IL they like, either
for their own use or for presentation to
their friends. So are the momentous
chronicles of our Government of the
people embalrled for all time in the
public archives-at some considerable
cost to the same people.

Fortified by Daniels affidavit, the
chief quartermaster now gave an en-
phatic opinion that the claim was a good
one and should receive the most serious
thought OF the higher authorities.

At Washington the fourteenth in
dorsement," and the final one, was ap-
pended by the Quartermaster General in
person, and the whole bulky business
was packed off on the already too heavily
burdened shoulders of the Secretary of
War.
All this had taken some time, and it
was not till on March 81, 1902, that the
Secretary OF War was able to unload
the cumbrous mass on the Speaker of
the House. The Speaker promptly re-
lieved himself of the stack by referring
1t to the Committee on Claims and or

Here a deputy adjutant general tackled
on a fresh sheet of paper TO give more

ter Generals office. a deputy quarter
master general attaching the seventh

fering tcamster.

tongue was being replaced. AS he had
gained all his fourteen Endorsements on
the ground OF having SO claim. this sly
addition of l50 per cent at the last mo-
ment gives the whole transaction an
odor of fraud that can never pass IN

minded Congress.

may at least have TIE satisfaction of
knowing that he has made that new
wagon-tongue cost the Government more
than 100 times as much as 1t cost him.
1t is many years since Charles Dick
ems withered the Circumlocution Office
with his satire, and not so many, though
not few either. since Mark Twain
wrote the history of a pair of cavalry
breeches lost in the Seminole war, the
question of payment for which was still
agitating certain public offices when the
civil war broke out and swept that and
many other minor matters of public con-
Germ out of sight forever.
But though decades have passeG, We
see from this simple story of Daniels
that the Circumlocution Office survives,
and its operations are not confined to
hold Hengland and that we have not
learned how to dispose of troublesome
little claims any more promptly and
economically than was the case in the
days of the Seminole war, when General
Jackson and General Gaines, Osceola
and Billy Bowlegs, instead of Freddie
Funston and Hell-roaring Jake. Aguin-
aldo and the Sultan of Moro, were the
popular heroes of the day.

Harvard men, who already have been
communicated with on the subject, and
from whom an answer is expected at an
early day. II Colonel Scatchcrd should
consent to send the hat he would find
himself welcome visitor through all
future years to the men who will pre-
serve the hat from class to class and
generation to generation.
Colonel Scatcherd was chairman of the
executive committee OF the late Pam
American Exposition, n prominent MEM
Der of the Buffalo. Ellicott and other
clubs, polo player of considerable past
prominence and a director in various
large corporations.
The fame OF the Scatcherd hat al.
ready is wide. The first dispatches to
the newspapers of this country concern
ing the hat came from Toronto, where
Mr.. Scatcherd wore it while acting as
judge OF high steppers in the ring at
the Toronto horse show
Several unsuccessful efforts have been
made heretofore by museum people and
others to obtain possession OF the hat.
None of them has been successful and
the hat continues in the actual possess
sion of its owner. who is not apt to part
with it, for the present at least 1t In
known thoroughly already that the hat
is not for sale. Mr.. Scatcherd has de-
clined also to sit for his picture, wear
ing the hat. Unknown to him. how
ever. he has been caught by the cam
eras while the high hat adorned his
head.

Harvard may be able to persuade him to

I n October last, at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, Daniel Lewis, teamster. was

terous, six-mule Government team be-
came unmanageable and crowded Dan

curb. decorating his wagon tongue and
dislocating his hounds" s"-whateyer that
may be.
1t cost Daniel 50 to repair damages,
and as h& had not been in fault. he
rightly thought that his Uncle Samuel,
who owned the boisterous mules by
whose misbehavior he had been undone,
should make up to him the cost OF the
new wagon tongue.
Accordingly, he presented the ques-
tion 10 Captain Van Duesen, command
ing the Sixteenth Battery of Field
artillery, who was the officer RESPONSE
bic for the good conduct of the mules.
The captain agreed that Daniel was
deserving of recompense, and accord
ingly he undertook to present the case
in "A favorable light &c the post ad-
tutant.
The post adjutant turned the captains S

ing to the notions of the Latins. and the
said notion did not coincide with Ameri-
can taste. They, these tropical manu-
facturers. have a fancy for wide brims
and shallow crowns, and while tiles of
that sort appeared very well in the land
of their nativity. they seemed as outre
here as the laced and neaked and fuzzy
sombrero of vaquero. Wherefore.
wearing them made the wearer unpleas-
antly conspicuous in latitudes north of
the Tropic of Cancer, and the merits of
the tile, great as they are. were INSULT
cient to overcome that objection.
A Change in Style.
Shortly after the Spanish American
war, however, the people who make Pan
anna hats began to shape them with
view to pleasing the people to the north
of them. and the present rage is by hat
dealers said to have been caused by that
piece of condescension. For they are
obtainable now. are these hats. in near
ly any shape or style, and anyone who
has the price can get a Panama to suit
his own peculiar beauty or homeIiness
And those who haven't the price of q
real Panama can get tolerable imita-
tion.
So 1t has fallen out now that here In
Washington, at least, a crowd or a pa
rada lind in frb i
large percentage OF men, presents a spec
tacie very different from that which sum-
mer crowds usually present. High
crowns creased like n fedora and rolled
brims being popular shapes, the head
gear does not set off its American wear
ers with tropic effect, but creates a
scene peculiarly distinctive. and. one
might almost say. peculiarly American
The rage has spread throughout all
the walks of life and permeates all
Washington - excepting possibly the
White House-for it has not Vt been
noted that the President has laid aside
his felt hat for the newer creation. On
Connecticut Avenue, on Street, at the
departments when the stroke of comes

Few of the Finest.
AS il happens, however, few of the
highest and finest grades OF the hat have
publicly appeared as yet; though no
doubt many soon Will. Some, though.

Senator Mitchells hat did not. how
ever, come through this course. 1t was
brought straight from Ecuador by a
friend and admirer.
Nothing is more interesting about the
present Tcge than the various ways in
which these Panamas are worn and the
odd effects they sometimes create. For
the public, while unwilling to accept the
standard Latin block, is still willing to
put up with much IN the way OF shape,
and to overlook in the form OF a Panama
that which would in any other hat be an
insufferable objection.
As a result OF this one sees thin,

ing. however, and happy in the con-
seriousness that the hat is a Panama,
whatever else it may be.
Some OF the wearers pull the pliable
brim down over their noses as though the
hat was cigarette hat. Others crease
the crowns as deeply as a Mississippi
overseer creases the crown of his big
black felt, and, like the overseer, wear
il toward the back and toward one side
of their heads. Others pull the crown
to peak and flute it after the cowboy
fashion. And still others wear the tile
as reverently and with as much pre-
cision as il 1t were the exacting silk hat.

shape is sometimes conspicuous in the
Capitol corridors. crowning Representa-
tive SibIey. That hat, according to GER

tine most striking and picturesque for
many years.
