UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
An Audience of Four.

Senator Patterson talked to an audi
ence of only four Senators for som,
minutes during his speech on the Philip
pine question yesterday afternoon. The
four were all Democrats If Mr.. yelling
ton be considered a Democrat.
Mr.. Wellington at first sat on the Re
publican side alone, but apparently be-
coming lonely there he finally moved
over near Mr.. Patterson. leaving not a
single Senator on the Republican side.
Once in a while there is a storv OF
not a single member of one party being
present in the Senate. but the actual
fact is extremely rare. Even on this oc-
casion the perfectness of the situation
in this regard was marred by the fact
that Mr.. Kean was in the chair.

"Lafe Pence g. Bro"

The presence of ex-Representative
Lafe Pence in Washington recently gave
rise to the circulation at the Capitol
of tale about him when he was run
ming for Congress a number of years
ago which was told out in the Cen
tennial State.
Lafe was practicing law in Durango
in partnership with his brother. under
the firm name OF Lafe Pence & Bro.
One day n rich vein OF silver was struck
at place which was thereupon desig-
mated as Silyerton. Among those first
to reach the camp was Lafe's brother.
who Immediately dispatched word to
Lafe to come on as quickly as he could.
The means of transportation were
menger. and the best the future Con-
gressman could do was to get q little
burro. Accordingly he packed all his
earthly possessions upon the back OF
the little animal preparatory TO start
ing for the new camp.
He had gotten all the furnishings Of
his scanty law office strapped to the
bdth VI biIt " HHtil thdANtu "
look back 20 see II he had missed any
thing and his eye fell upon the tin sign,
"Lafe Pence & Bro" He tore this down
and tied it TO the burro.
When night overlook him on his jour
ney he stopped and pitched his tent.
While preparing his evening meal a
miner. following the same trail. came
along and stopped.
The newcomer surveyed his fellow
traveller minutely for few minutes and
then walked around the hurro, mean
while observing the sisr "Lafe Pence
& Bro"
Again he directed his attention to the
migrating barrister, and, with a puzzled
expression, finally exclaimed:
Say, which one of you is Lafe?'

Feminine Ingenuity.

Three women got ont of the
New York State Reformatory a
few days ago. and though the
keepers are rciicent about it. it
is said that the women picked the
lock with a fork, and thus made
their escape. If this be so, it is
good reason enough why the au-
thorities should not want to talk.
Any institution intended to keep
people from getting out, which
has locks that can be opened by
woman with fork, ought to
be shrouded in silence for the
present.
Otherwise there is nothing so
very surprising in the incident.
The crowning characteristic of
woman, some people think, is her
ability 10 get results with imple-
ments not intended for the pur-
! pose TO which she applies them.
Doubtless one reason why the
women in penal institutions are
required to wear their hair short
Is that there Is no known thing
that a woman cannot do with a
hairpin. If this precaution had
been neglected, all the inmates of
tie New York reformatory would
probably now be rowing wild and
free, because they would have
used their hairpins for keys.
A woman can drive nails with a
fatiron, a brick, stone, stove
litter, or the heel of her slipper
and she can take tackS ont of a
carpet with the handle of an iron
spoon or the back of a knife
blade. The only objection TO a
woman being 4 carpenter would
probably be that she would never
use the proper tool when ,he
wrong one happened to be nearer,
and so there would be no prestige
about her. We all know that
prestige is one of the great money
making agents Of the world. and
ii is iTreyocably ruined when the
mechanic admits that anything bur
the very best tools will do for the
work lie has in hand.
This is matter for the wom-
ans rights associations 10 handle.
let them instruct women to de-
mand the best tools for their
work. and get them. This will
make household labor more dig
nifcd, but il will also make it
considerably more expensive for
the head of the family.

Premier in Shirt Designs.

Senator Lodge is the premier of the
upper house of Congress in the mat
ter of originality in shirt designs and
colors. His friends have always been
proud of his peculiar pre-eminence
in this regard. but the other day there
was subtle supreme ecstasy among
them. Mr.. Lodge outdid himself utterly.
A delicate esthetic purple dream had
been dreamed by him and his dream had
been realized by his haberdasher in a
vest and shirt of identical material.
1t is rumored that the cloth OF this
vest and shirt was woven especially for
Mr.. Lodge. Nothing approaching it in
chaste sweetness has ever been seen in
this city before.

cans Before They Can BE
Eligible.

A Cuban who applied for insurance
from local company the other day al
most wept when told by the examining
physician that he could not insure
him, but that he should call again in
about two years. The agents had as
sured the Cuban that he would be
first-class risk. In despair he went to
New York and confided his woes to
an old friend, who is the head of the
firm for which he is the Philadelphia
representative, says the Times of that
city. The friend said:
"Since the Spanish war, when so
many young men from Cuba and Porto
Rico have come here to engage in
trade, have seen scores of cases like
yours. You are killing yourself by
insisting on living in Philadelphia as
you did in Havana. Persons who come
to the United States to live, no mat
ter from what part of the world. must
make certain concessions to climate.
You drink as much black coffee and
smoke as many cigarettes here as you
did at home. Very well, 1t will kin
you If you keep it up. Your insurance
man probably thought you were con-
sumptive. Stop living like Cuban in
Philadelphia; eat, drink and smoke as
men there do, and will guarantee you
an insurance policy in less than two
years."

aid.
Instead of seeing one image, as you
will expect, you will see four. One OF
these images will be very bright, but
the other three will be dull, like un.
FURNISHED silver. They will be in
straight line, one of the dull images
on one side of the bright image and
two on the other side of il. Turn the
mirror slowly around and the images
will appear to revolve around a com.
mon center.
The explanation of this queer little
phenomenon may be found in the fact
that there are two surfaces in mir
ror, one in front and the other in the
back, where the quicksilver is.
The brightest of the images is from
the moon itself; the others are what
are known as secondary images, re.
Elected from the front to the back OF
the mirror, and thence to the eye.
a similar experiment may be made
with the planets Venus, Jupiter and
Mars, or with any of the first magni.

Arcturus, Vega and Antares.
The planets and the stars, however.
make only three images, the number
of images depending on the breadth
of the object. A perfectly clear night

Brilliant Scene in Pekin.

Pekin, January The imperial cortege
entered the Forbidden City at 100 o'clock
this afternoon. 1t was the most brilliant
scene Pekin ever witnessed. The process
ion consisted of a thousand gorgeously
attired noblemen mounted upon glittering-
ly caparisoned horses. The Emperor and
Empress burned incense. The Dowager
Empress and several princes were borne
in willow chairs, their escort carrying hun.
dreds of gay banners and silk umbrellas.
The troops OF General Yuan.Shi-Kai, gov.
ernor of Pe-Chi-Li, preceded the Emperor.
The foreign community assembled on top
of the Chen gate.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager
entered the temple in the gate and burned
incenst. The Dowager Empress upon
emerging from the temple saw the for
eigners peering down and bowed. A
double row of soldiers, kneeling, lined the
four-mile route.
