PeIt Chancellor Andrews with De-
LUCE of Questions About
Marriage.

Goods, as well as men students,
stirred by the lectures that Chancellor
Andrews is giving at the University Of
Chicago upon the effects upon the in
dividual and society of bachelordom,
old-maidism and the married state,
fired many questions at him the other
day when he arose TO begin his after
noon lecture.
One maid asked if DR.. Andrews did
not think that good measure for pre-
venting desertion and non-support
would be to imprison lie guilty party
for year.
"Yes, for five years." came the quick
response. IF you can get hold Of the
man who has been guilty Of non-sup-
port or desertion, why Jug him. For
wife-beating the same penalty would
do, or perhaps six years would be bet
ter.
81 would say the same for husband
beating" he added, while the men
grinned and the goods Uttered.
Cooperation between the states was
the principal reform in the present
system of marriage and divorce laws
urged By DR.. Andrews. lie said that
this would call for compromise OF
many different theories, and that per-
haps no one would be satisfied with
the result, but that compromise
agreed to by the legislatures of all the
states would be far better than the
present medley. He said that an en-
actment should be made in every state
with children to secure divorces.

from 1873 to 1882 The first three
years there were grasshoppers, and
the Heitfeld efforts to produce crops
proved a fiat failure. Following the
grasshuppers, there were five years
of good crops. Heitfeld raised corn
and fed it to cattle and hogs and
made money rapidly. In the mean
while homesteaders were pouring into
Kansas and all the land around SEN
eca available for grazing was taken
up by farmers. In 1883, the future
senator from Idaho left for the far
west and homesteaded a place in
Big Bend county, Washington. He
worked in the Union Pacific shops
and made money in every legitimate
way that presented itself to an in
telligeut husky youngster who wasn't
afraid 20 work. Before he had proved
up on his Washington farm, Mr.. Heit-
field bought a farm near Lewiston,
idaho. which is just across from the
Washington line, and began raising
cattle. The farm contained 500 acres
and was soon doubled. IL proved TO
have been located in a great grain
country. It is in what is known as
the Palouse country and is north of
Clear Water and Snake river
Although the farmers ra sed enough
wheat to make them rich. the rail
roads yobbled all the profits. The
railroads owned the elevators. and
the farmers had TO do business
through these elevators. Heitfeld led
the movement TO establish elevators
by the farmers for the farmers. II
was an alliance scheme, but il worked
to perfection. Each union had a sec
rotary, who received a salary and
managed the elevator. The railroad
c,-''-.rries refused to svonlv cars
NO more cars Of any k'ni 90 over
these tracks unless we are su0Dlied
with cars for our wheat" said The
determined Heitfeld. The railroad
officials didn't see how Heitfeld woult
stop them. They asked and found out
A threat to tear up the track Just az
fast as it could be laid brought the
companies to time. and farming in the
Palouse country proved profitable. anC
'remains so to this day. In 1894, Heit

The republicans controlled botl
branches Of the legislature, but tn,
new senator made a record which re
suited in the offer to nominate him TO
lieutenant governor. He declined i
and accepted the nomination for tn,
senate once more The fusionists hat
a clear majority. and with a senate
to elect, Heitfeld supported W. Fl
Claggett. the democratic candidate
There were three weeks Of ballotin,
without any progress, when Heitfeld'
name was suggested Populists a
well as democrats liked him, and tn
deadlock was solved.

MAY ADOPT METRIC SYSTEM.
Action of Colonial Conference In Lon
don May Hasten Legislation In
This Country.

Enthusiastic Endorsement is given by
government officials in Washington to
the recent colonial conference in Lon
don in adopting resolutions making
the metric system of weights and
measures compulsory throughout the
British mepire. For years the adop-
ton of the metric system has been adj
vocated by officials of the treasury Le-
partment. At no time previous to the
last session of congress, however, was
he matter taken up with such pros
pect of favorable action as last winter.
\ bill was fayorably reported to the
house and is now on the calendar of
that body, which provides that the
system shall be used exclusively by
the government departments after
January /, 1904, and that four years
later it shall be made the standard
system Of the country.
Great stress was laid on the joint ac-
ton of the United States and Great
Britain in this matter, and the great
mass of testimony which was taken be-
fore the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures, both from gov
eminent officials and American manu-
facturers, was nearly all in favor of
the adoption of the system, and all
made the prediction that should the
United States act first England would
speedily follow. The Decimal Associa-
tion of Great Britain took poll of the
British house with the result that $50
members of parliament were openly in
favor of adopting the system, and that
40 more would vote that way.

CARNEGIE SELLING BONDS.
Huge Blocks of University Steel
Trust Securities.
(Chlcago AmeriCan.)

Universal activity has been noticed in
Wall street in United States Steel cor
poratiOn bonds One sale was made by
AdTain r. Miller 6, Co, at auction. at
1875. Il IL reported in Wall street that
several large blocks have also recently
changed hands
None of the large bond houses profess
any knowledge OF the reported sale by
Andrew Carnegie of the SlO,OOO,00O of the
bonds which he offered to the United
States as an endowment fund for q
higher university, but certainly there
have recently been some large sales
made.
1t is stated positively that a life in
sdrance company had taken one block
of $5O0.O0O at a price said to have been
slightly above ia. Other investments
have been made by Institutions of va
rlous kinds. which, in the aggregate,
have equaled an amount of bonds which
could not possibly come from any other
source than from Andrew Carnegie.
The prices have varied somewhat, but
a majority of The transactions have been
made at ia. At this price the amount
which Mr.. Carnegie would realize on the
Sl0.000,OO0 which he offered to the United
States government would be 81, 400. 600
1t is expected that information will soon
come from official quarters concerning
a change in the proposition made by Mr.
Carnegie to the government in order to
comply with the suggestion of President
Roosevelt that the proposed gift should
be made in cash instead of in bonds.
The acceptance of the latter might be
embarrassing to the government, partic-
ularly in case Of an effort made TO attack
trusts. which on, technical grounds
might brins the United States Steel cor
pOratiCn before the courts.
II Mr.. Carnegie makes the endowment
in cash. it will be rather interesting to
know whether he simply gives $10.OO0.0O0
or whether the government will receive
the net proceeds of the sale Of such an
amount of bonds, which would be sll ,00O.

FEW JUDGES OF CIGARS.

The man came in and asked for
brand Of cigar that the cigar store pro

But I've got something that's prac-

The man smiled wisely and induI-

There are times, he said. when

Now, I'd bet anything that I've got in

told the cigar 1 offered him from the
brand he thinks he wants if his life de-
pended on it.
There are between 1.5O0,O00 and .
100000 brands of cigars sold in this
country and your average smoker
thinks that every brand means diff
ferent kind of tobacco. As a matter
Of fact, $50 is an outside estimate of

The shape or size or color of cigar
strikes their fancy. It burns easily and
they are cOntented- At the same time
these things have absolutely nothing 10
do with the quality Of a cigar.
To get an Illustration of how sm06-

esSary to remember that very few blind
men care anything about smoking I'm
many cases men who have gone blind
after they have been inveterate suo6-

about smoking a few weeks after los

WORK PRESIDENTS SECRETARY
Few Positions Call For Greater Di-
versEty of Qualities.
(Success.)

The position of secretary to the pres
ident Of the United States is an ardu-
GUS one. In the rendering of it's multi
tudinous services it calls for the bust
ness qualifications Of a methodicaI and
systematic clerk, in the performance of
the daily routine of official work and
the finesse of practiced diplomat in
meeting and satisfactorily adjusting
situations which naturally come before
nm as an assorted public, each indi-
vldual OF which believes himself enti-
tled to a portion Of the time and inter-
est Of the chief executive.
The task OF handling and answering
the White House mail is in itself no
small one, the president receiving from
zoo to 1,2OO letters a day. Important
or not, each of these communications
receives due attention, the secretary
carefully sorting and classifying thsm;
presenting some to the personal atten-
ton of the president, referring others
to the department or person to which
each properly belongs, while all receive
courteous acknowledgment from the
presidents representative.
The secretary is also required to
meet and dispose of the numerous Wis
itors who call on the president at times
not set aside for his public receptions,
and whose business ranges all the way
from that relative to the appointment
Of supreme court judge or the gov
ernor Of a turbulent territory to the
obtaining Of the presidential autograph
for school girls album.
To deal with this heterogeneous mass
in such way as to best serve the ends
of both business and courtesy, while
economizing his own time and easing
the strain on the presidents personal
attention by selecting the really i'm
portant from the trivial quest-sorting
the grain from the chaff-giving Of
Tense to none. and sending all away
with pleasant words and smiling faces,
requires endless resources of tact and
good judgment
The secretary is also expected to keep
at his fingers ends the details of all
the official business of the executive
Office, and the president is likely to
send for him frequently each day to
consult him regarding official engage
ments which have been made by him,
to seek information and advise with
him upon some matter under consider
alton, or. at moments notice, to bring
papers and data in some case demand
ing immediate attention.
