Not Wholly Accidental.

In a Texas case two men went to a
house, where one of them was intro
duced under false name, and sue
ceeded in getting up difficulty with
some of the family, says Case and
Comment. One of them said with an
oath that he came for a fuss and he
was going to have it, and that he
could kill four or five people before
they could stop him. In the row which
follower he drew his gun upon a son
of the family, and, as the mother
partly opened a door at that moment,
he turned it upon her and fired. He
was charged with assault with intent
to kill The defense was that the
shooting was accidental. In addition
to the above facts, it was proved that
the accused was at the time armed
with a Winchester gun, Remington
six-shooter, and a box of cartridges,
while his companion was armed with
a Smith & Wesson 3S-caliber pistol
and a Colt six-shooter and was also
wearing a breast-plate of iron made
Of an old plowshare and tied on his
body with ropes. By reason of this
very unusual combination of circum-
stances the theory of accident was
urged unSuccessfully.

BIGGER PAY FOR coNGREssMEN.

The big salaries received by presi-
dents of trust companies, steel corpor-
atoms and other financial and indus
trial institutions are causing congress-
men to experience a feeling of unrest.
1t is said that the talk among them
is that they ought to have more pay.
Recently a resolution to that effect
was introduced into the House, but
it does not appear to have been treat
ed seriously by the newspaper press,
nor by the public generally. AS a mat
ter of fact the opinion is that con-
gressmen are now paid all they earn.
There are Of course men In Congress
who could earn great deal more than
$4,000 year If they should give their
entire attention to business or a pro-
fession, but the number is not large
The great majority of the representa-
tives and senators are well paid
1t must not be forgotten that Con-
gress is in session only about ten
months in two years. A congressman
therefore does not give half his time
to public duties. He has plenty of
tAAAiC AZ WHICH " hhehS luO4cJ OUTSIDE
of his public position. If he have a
business he can devote the greater part
of his time to it. If he is a lawyer he
can do a great deal of professional
work.
And a congressman costs the country
more than $1,000 "a year. 1t has not
been so very long since Congress voted
every member of the House and Sem
ate a clerk at $1,000 a year. Besides,
| congressman are paid mileage at rate
much above the railroad rate, and it is
not a violent assumption that most of
/ them are supplied with passes.
1t is probable that the resolution
/ that was introduced into the House
looking towards an increase in pay WAS
intended as a feeler. If so it is prob
| able that most congressman are about
/ satisfied that the country is In no mood
for increasing congressional compensa-
ton. In the early days of the republic
senators and representatives were sat-
ished with much smaller pay, and there
were giants in those days. If the pay
| Is not increased there will be no dearth
OF applicants for places In either the
/ House or the Senate.

There is only one woman chaplain
in the United States, and it is doubt
full If there is woman filing a sim
liar position in any other part of the
world. The penitentiary in Laramie,
Wyo., has this unique distinction. Its
chaplain is Mrs. May Preston Slosson,
wife of the vice president of the fac
ulty of the University of Wyoming,
and for over two years she has pre-
sided over the spiritual welfare of the
convicts.
Joseph NJ. Wade of Boston has
been made noble of the fifth Japon-
ic decree by the mikado and by virtue
of that decoration is entitled to inter-
view the ruler of Japan at any time
the only American so favored For
years Mr.. Wade has been a discrimi-
mating patron of Japanese art and has
given much attention to students from
the land of the chrysanthemum when
they came to this country for educa-
ton. 1t is on these grounds that the
emperor of JAPAN paid him such sig
nal honor.
Congressman Mercer. while maxi

how he liked his chief and was told
that the official in Question never gave
any trouble, but always signed every
thing submitted to him. Mr.. Mercer
doubted this. whereupon the subordi-
nate offered to bet a box of cigars that
the chief would sign his own resigna-
ton. A document of the required char
acter was slipped into a pile of let
ters and laid on the chiefs desk. In
a few minutes the correspondence
was brought back and it was found
that Mr.. Mercer had lost the cigars.

that illustrates how alert Japan has
been to take on the ways of civiliza-

AT an early day in the career of new
Japan some ladies of Tokyo decided to
adopt Anglo-Saxon dress, and so they
ordered elaborate wardrobes' from
Paris, sending explicit instructions that
the garments should be packed in cases
In the order in which they were to be
worn.
These orders were carefully carried
out lingerie going into the boxes first,
and so on to the ultimate outer founces
and furbelows.
But by some mischance," Admiral
Coghlan added, "the cases were labeled
wrong side up, and the guileless Japa-
nese ladies proceeded in due time to ar
ray themselves in reverse order with
what results may be disereetly left 10
