MoNoCLE FAD REVIVED.
Single Eyeglass Habit Is Coming In
Again In London.

Again In London.
A London Express representative has
discovered the interesting fact that the
monocle is slowly coming back again.
Not since the days of Major Pendennis=
and the Iron Duke, whom the old SOD
der tried to copy, has there been any
thing like the vogue which is now set
ting in in single eyeglasses.
Some who claim to know trace the
origin Of the new fashion to the fact
that officers serving in South Africa
have found them very serviceable; 9th
ers put them down to- a revival at Ok
ford and Cambridge.
At the esta blishment Of Messrs. Ross
of Bond street, who for years have sup
piled the elite with monocles, the re-
porter was informed that the new
craze has been in progress for some
time. 1t is an undoubted fact that
there is a growing demand for a par
ticular type of eyeglass manufactured
in America which is peculirly adapted
+ to sensitive eyesight.
To 8 question whether the wearing
OF the single eyeglass was not so much
a necessity as foppish fad the re-
porter received the reply that OF 100
men wearing monocles there would be
perhaps about twenty wearing plain
nonmagnifying glasses window pane
purely for ornament. The rest would
require the use Of the monocle to help
the defective sight Of one or the other
eve.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
Judge J. A. Lewis and Wife Beaten to Death,
in Eastern Washington. for the
Object of Robbery.

III LdStSru washington, tut tNS
Object Of Robbery.
One of the most atrocious murders
in the history of the State was COM
mitted near Almira, Lincoln county,
on or about the 10Th inst. Judge J.
A. Lewis and wife, wealthy and we'll
known pioneers OF the county, had
their heads crushed in by an axe. The
tragedy was not known until Sunday
as the aged couple lived alone and
visitors to their home were infrequent.
The dou BILE murder appears to have
been most deliberately planned and
executed and the object was undoubt-
eddy robbery. Judge Lewis lived on
a ranch four miles southeast of Gov
an, and was 76 years of age, his wife
being GO. They had accumulated .
fortune of from $25, 900 or $4,000, a
large part of which was in cash. A
bank account was kept at both Will
bur and Almira, but it was the habit
of the Judge to withdraw cash. some-
times as much as $4,000 at time and
carry it home, where he loaned it out
on mortgage security. In the house
was safe, the combination of which
could only be worked by Mrs. Lewis,
owing to the aged and palsied condi.
ton of the Judge. It was standing
open and had not been forced. The
body OF Lewis was found lying on the
floor of the house with the head
crushed. That of Mrs. Lewis was
found near the barn, which with some
other buildings, stands about a quar-.
ter of mile from the dwelling, the
path to it being down a gulch. The
struggle here had evidently COM
menced at the door of the barn, as
blood was found there, and the deadly
work was finished around at the side
of the building, about thirty feet from
the door. The fence on one side and
the barn on the other, were spattered
with blood, and the snow saturated
with it. A small stick, such as Mrs.
Lewis had been seen to carry, was
found near her body, shivered to pieces
and bloodstained. She had evidently
used this in her resistance. After
finishing his victim, the murderer
partially covered the body with snow,
and threw loose hay over that again,
and casual observer would have
noticed nothing out of the common in
the appearance OF the heap. The pop
ulace are thoroughly excited, and if
the murderers are discovered there is
but little doubt that lynch law will
settle the ecore. On searching the
premises 1925 in gold was found in a
rag fastened with . pin on window
sill in the parlor. DR.. Lewis, brother
of Judge Lewis, has offered reward of
$500 for apprehension of the muir.
derer or murderers, and it is thought
an additional reward will be offered by
county and State.
An unsigned will, in which the wife
bequeathes her worldly possessions to
the Judge, was found among the pa
pers. An important question will
arise in award of the property to the
heirs as to who died first in the terrible
tragedy.

THE SITUATION STILL UNCERTAIN.-
The Venezuelan arbitration has been
submitted to the Hague tribunal.
President Castro bases his acquiesence,
however. upon raising the blockade
and restoration Of ships seized by the
allies. The Germans now admit that
President Roosevelt was that govern
ment's choice for arbitrator to fix re.
sponsibility upon our government.
Germany likewise excludes from the
scope Of arbitration 100000 boli-
vers which must be paid before arbi-
tration begins.

Will We Have an Active Lobby.

One OF the most interesting queries,
as the date for the Legislative session
approaches is, as to how Gov. Mcbride
is going to suppress the railroad lobby.
There are ways by which he may,
to some degree, thwart its efforts /;
but to suppress-that's another mat.
ter. He may, of course, veto such
measures as it may approve; but there
is nothing it wants in the way OF leg
islation, except to be let alone. He
may intimidate members who have
axes to grind land who has notY by
having the impression to spread that
the official cleaver will fall on pet
measures OF those who, figuratively
speaking, ride on railroad passes. 1t
is hardly probable it can be true, how
ever, he has authorized the statement,
he intends to veto the appropriations
for State institutions, unless the repre-.
sentatives from Walla Walla, Spokane,
Lewis, King, Pierce, Whatcom and
other counties, toe the mark on the
railroad commission bill.
Then there will be the Senatorial
lobby, which will be still harder to
down. 1t is always backed with the
most effective "sinews of war;" in
well.filled sacks, and the Governor will
find it extremely difficult to down
such palpable facts with wind. There
is, of course, some patronage in the
way OF Office at his command, but that
is not in all respects available for &C.
tive service in the halls of legislation.
The way the friends of the Governor
put the matter of appropriations, as a
leverage of power. is. that while the
executive does not threaten to veto
bills for support OF State institutions,
he will take good care that lobbyists
shall not secure their allowances
through legislative vote, by trade for
railroad favor.
1t looks as if there will be . hot
time in the old town soon as those
positive forces come together, and
those who have choice seats in the
gallery will find them at premium
before the show closes.
