HOW COLLEGE STUDENTS

You certainly remember the story Miss
Hester Laughlin tells about the furnished

plated taking in Chicago a while ago. They
We're directed by friends TO a locality on the
South Side. where four university seniors
were living. The students expected to let
the fiat in June. and Miss Laughlin took a
trip to inspect the premises. A most agree
able young man showed her and her friends
over the place. which appeared to be exact
ly the kind they wished. The furniture was
not elaborate. bit could be augmented il
necessary. and things were clean and in
good condition. After thorough inspection.
Miss L.auehlin had just about decided to
engage the fiat. when suddenly she be-
thought herself of the tableware. linen and
the like.
"How are You supplied with knives. forks.
spoons and table linen?' she inquired.

"And our towels and napkins are just like

made it a rule to swipe all the household

Miss Iaughlin and her friend were almost
too overcome to answer. They didn't rent

Iheir friends met at Hotel Beers Wednes-
uay morning. Mrs. David J. Baker. daush-
yer OF Mrs. 4. s Casey. gave an entertain
ing talk on the Philippines. In an Informal
and interesting way Mrs. Bake told OF her
long journey and arrival at Manila, during
a time of great excitement. when troops
mad been ordered to the front She described
Inc beautiful bay. the city. the Islands and
Innate. also the picturesque people. their
customs and dress As the wife of an army
oficer. her experience in housekeeping was
both pleasant and unique. showing that ,hs
natives were good neighbors. friends and
servants. Indeed. she found them cleanIy-
hospitahle. generous and intelligent. Afte-
all that has hen said about their treachery.
IL was indeed delightful 10 hear the other
and beautiful side Of the Philippine aues-
tion.
Mrs. Baker believes. with good government
and the resources of the islands properly
developed. that the United States have ac-
CURED one of the grandest possessions. and
by far the best people in the Orient.
She showed a quaint dress. such as native
Filipino women wear: the Jacket and

SOCIETY PEOPLE STEAL
FROM PRIV ATE HOMES.
Just where 10 put the society people who
steal from private residences is quite too
difficult for my powers Of classification.
They don't belong to the souvenir fiends.
since they steal anything from cakes of
fine toilet soap from the l~svatory TO jeweled
stick-pins off their hostesss pin cushions.
It's a truly horrifying thought for n hostess
to know she has had a thief or thieves un-
der her roof. and to he assured of the fact
that they belong to her friends. a South
Side matron who has several pretty daugh-
tiers. and who recently threw open her
house for a large afternoon function. has
told intimates that never again will she
give large entertainments in her own house.
Valuable bits Of b~ric-a-brac. some rare old

was positively nothing to do but grin and
bear il.
Hereafter when l propose to entertain

To the Union Club. to Mahler's or some
other public place where the responsibility

South Side hostess now declares.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1.-The. second
session of the Fifty-Seventh Congress
convened at noon today.
The scene in the Senate Chamber
when that body met to begin work was
a brilliant one. Long before noon when
President Pro Tenn Frye brought the
gayel down and opened the proceedings
the galleries began to fill up. Every
seat was soon occupied and hundreds
stood outside in the corridors clamoring
for admission.
The floor OF the Senate was a veritable
garden, chrysanthemums, roses, violets
spreading fragrance throughout the
chamber. Many floral pieces Of masni-
fcence hid the decks from view. With
out distinction of party the Senators
moved about the chamber renewing old
acquaintances.
The familiar figure of Senator Nc
MILAN, of Michigan, was missing, and
The Tucson citizen., 1902-12-01

When the cabinet got down to what
it believe are the real facts, it was
stated that while the original con-
cession from Colombia to the Panama
Canal company expires in 1904, the
company has supplemental con-
cession giving it until 1910 to COM
plete the canal.
This supplemental concession was
granted by the then Vice President
Marroquin, in the absence of Presi-
dent San Clemente, who was said to
be at mountain retreat in an imbe-
cile condition. Marroquin is now
president. 1t is in his power, when the
original grant expires in 1904, to de-
clare that he had no authority to
grant the supplemental concession
and that it is, therefore, null and
void.
Colombia will then, it is expected
seize the canal and pursue one Of
"three courses-offer to sell 1t to the
United States or some other country
urder 100-year lease of the territory
necessary to maintain it, with the op-
tion of an extension for 100 years; ;
grant new concession to new canal
company, or arrange with private
contractors to complete the canal un-
der an agreement for division of it's
earnings. In any case, Colombia
would expect to receive much more
than the $7000,000 now offered by the
United States.

SENATOR BEVERIDGE WILL NOT BE APT TO

The Opinion Prevails That the Bill viii Pass.
But There Was a Conference OF
Republican Senators

Hoosier poet. We lay in about three
gallons of Kentucky whisky, get boat
man and whip the Wabash River and
its tributaries for black bass.
II jes' wisht you'd come along on
one of them trips. know you don't
keer nothing-f for the whisky nor the fish
in, but wisht while we fish you'd step
back into the tall timber along the
Wabash bottoms and put your tests to
some of our Injianny Jestices OF the
Peace"
They say the Senator adjourned the
inquiry summarily. Leastways, he made
no more caustic comment npon New
Mexican unfamiliarity with the Consti-
tuition.
The Democrats in the Senate will
favor the admission of the three Ter
ritories.
Senator Heitfeldt of Idaho. the DEM
ocratic member of the committee that
went west on the subject, expresses the
opinion that the Democrats will vote
solidly for admission of the three Ter
ritories.
It ia probable that statehood will be
the chief subject of contention for the
the first few weeks of the session. I'm
mediatefy on the adjournment of the
Senate there was a conference held in
Senator Hale's committee room, which
was attended by Allison, Aldrich, Platt,
of Connecticut Gullom, Lodge, Hanna,
and Beverfdge.
These represented the Republicans
who are opposed to the Omnibus Bill
admitting Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona and in favor of a bill admitting
Oklahoma.
Friends OF the Omnibus Bill are also
active and claim they have the names of
fifteen Republican Senators who are
pledged to support the bill which will,
with the Democrats ensure it's passage,
1t is probable that ubliean eau
Gus on the subject will be held.
