The Two Sinners.

She was a woman worn and thin,
whom the world condemned for a
single SIN. They cast her out of the
kings highway and passed her by as
they went to pray. He was man
and more to blame but the world
spared him breath of shame. Be-
meath his feet he saw her lie, but he
raised his head and passed her by.
They were the people who went to
pray at the temple of God on the holy
dav. They scorned the woman, for
gave the man; twas ever thus since
the world began. Time passed on
and the woman died; on a cross Of
shame she was crucihed. The world
was stern and would not yield, and
they buried her in the potter's field.
The man diet, too, and they buried
him in a casket of cloth with silver
brim and said as they turned from
the grave away, "We have buried a
noble man today" Two mortals
knocked at heavens gate; stood face to
face to inquire their fate. He carried
passport with an earthly sign but
she pardon from love divine. O We
who Judge 'twixt virtue and vice,
which think We entered paradise?
Not he whom the world had said
would win, for the woman alone was
ushered in.

like square deal to the President.
State dinners are official affairs and it
would be on all tours with Justice and
common sense to pay for them with
public money, but there are lots OF
things in Washington that cannot be
squared with either Justice or CON-
mon sense. Still, it is safe to say
that the fear of having to pay for
State dinners and other White House
entertainments will never cause any
man to decline the Presidency.
Secretary Moody has ordered Rear
Admiral Higginson, commander of
the North Atlantic squadron, to meet
the French cruiser Gaulois when she
arrives off the capes, about the 2lst
inst, with the French visitors who
are coming to Washington to par
ticipate in the Rocham beau statue
ceremonies, with as many OF his ships
as may be available and escort the
French ship to Annapolis, where she
will remain for several days. The
order also instrpcts Admiral Higgin-
son to have the Gaulois escorted by
several ships of his squadron when
she visits New York, Boston, and 9th
er points later.
Representative Henry G. Smith, OF
Michigan, in speech in favor of an
appropriation for good roads, gave
the following characteristics OF our

delphia, where you were born; in New
York, what can do for you; in Chi
cage, what can you 90 for me-" He
didn't say what the. ask in Washing

every body knew that it was either for
an office or an appropriation.
1t takes very little to start new
cabinet rumor in Washington. Sec
rotary Root gave up the lease he had
upon the house in which he had been
living about a year and took his
family to a hotel, and at once the air
was full of rumors about his intend
ing to leave the cabinet soon. 1t was
stated when the Roots took the house
that they had leased it for three years.
That added an air of probability to the
rumors. Mrs. Root tells friends that
they gave the house up because she
is going to Europe next month with
her son, who has never entirely re-
covered from his severe illness of last
year, to remain all summer. The
Secretary has not, SO far as known,
told any body why he gave the house
up.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent

Washington, D. c., May Z, 1902.
President Roosevelt is certainly
showing that he belongs to the class
of men who do things. Every occu-
pant of the White House for the last
thirty or forty years has discussed
with Senators and Representatives
ways and means of obtaining needed
relief for the crowded condition of the
White House and none of them sue
ceeded in getting anything done. Mr..
Roosevelt has already done something
and before he has occupied the White
House year he will have the build
ing exclusively for his own family,
Some time ago he took this matter up
and mapped out in mind plan. He
sent for an architect and talked It
over and had some plans drawn. This
week the Senate endorsed those plans
and adopted an amendment to the
Sundry Civil appropriation bill APP
propriating 1905, 900 for improve
ments at the White House, and there
is no doubt of the amendment being
accepted by the House. OF this
amount $50, 200 is to be used to build
one-stery building just southw est
of the White House opposite the State,
War and Navy Building, to be used
for the offices of the President and
his clerical forces, and $4,000 for
furnishing the offices. The building
can be ready for occup ancy in ninety
DAYS after work on it is started. The
other $165, 900 is to be used to put
the interior of the White House in
thorough order and to make it con-
form more nearly to it's original plan
All the rooms on the second floor OF
the White House now used for offices
will be converted into cham bers and
it will not be necessary for the Presi-
dents family to put two or three OF
their guests III single room, as now
has to be done occasionally.
By the way, speaking of the Presi-
lent and the White House, it is not
generally known that the expense OF
entertaining distinguished guest
like Prince Henry at a White House
dinner-the State dinner given in
honor of Prince Henry cost not less
than ,000-comes entirely out OF
the Presidents pocket. similar
dinner is to be given in honor of the
representative Of France at the sn-
yelling of the Rochambeau statue, and
the cost will be equally as much.
These people are coming as guests OF
the country and Congress has appro-
priated money for their entertain
ment everywhere else, but the Presi-
dent will have to pay the bills when
he gives dinner. This doesn't look

The Presidents first message was
considered by everyone, regardless Of
political differences, to be a wonderful
literary production, and was Of such a

PASSED BILL 50 TO 81
ACTION OF SENATE YESTERDAY
ON THE OlEOMARGARlNE
MEASURE.
Provision That Oleomarqarine and
Kindred Products Shall Be Sub
ject ( o All Laws and Regulations Of
State or Territory Into Which
Transported for Sale.

Washington, April AT the con
c~lusion of a lively debate yesterday the
senate passed the oleomargarine bill by
a vote Of 80 to 81.
The discussion was largely in ma
ture of a reinforcement of arguments
previously advanced
Spooner of Wisconsin made the prin
cipal speech, maintaining that congress
had amply authority to enact the pro
posed legislation because it was in the
interest of the people.
In an earnest protest against the
measure, Vest Of Missouri held that
congress was invading the powers OF
the states.
Scott of West Virginia moved to re-
commend the measure to the commit.
tee, holding it was unsatisfactory to
many senators and ought to be perfect
ed.
The motion was defeated, 35 to 81.
During the afternoon a perfect flood
Of kilograms poured into the senate
from all parts of the country, urging
senators either to support or oppose
the measure.
The measure passed by the senate
differs in some respects from that pass
ed by the house.
It provides that olomargarine and
kindred products shall be subject to
all laws and regulations Of any state
OF territory or District of Columbia,
into which transported, whether in
original packages or otherwise; that
any person who sells oleomargarine
and furnishes it for the use of others
except to his wi family, who shall
mix with 1t any artificial coloring that
causes it to look like butter, shall be
held to be manufacturers and subject
to a tax provided by the existing law;
that upon oleomargarine colored SO as
to resemble butter a tax Of 10 cents a
pound shall believed, but upon leomar-
garine not colored the tax shall be one
fourth of n cent per pound; that upon
adulterated butter a tax Of ten cents a
pound shall be levied; and Upon all
process or renovated butter the tax
shall be one-fourth of one cen per
pound.
Manufacturers Of process or removal
ed or adulterated butter shall pay an
annual tax of 5000, the wholesale deal
ers, $3.50 and the retail dealers $4S per
annum.
The measure provides for the collec-
ton OF the tax and prescribes minute
ly how the various products are to be
prepared for the market.

They made glad haste to blow:

And as he slept that night
Two words kept ringing through his

To vent his gladness there:

And laughed In wild delight;

Wild terror ends in glee;
