Guard American Statesmen.

Exceeding care is taken by the
members of the Senate to prevent
some crank from attempting to wipe
that body out of existence at one fell
swoop- The doorkeepe-s have special
instructions on this point Every per-
son who enters the public galleries is
closely ScrutiniZed. Visitors can carry
no packages whatever, because it is
feared the bundles may contain bomb BIS
OF other internal machines which could
be hurled with deadly effect into the
chamber
During the recent rush of visitors to
Washington the guards had lively ex-
periences with the amateur photog-
raphers- Every day dozens of tourists
were barred out because they had
their cameras with them The guards
admit that the Senators have OBJ
lection to having their pictures taken,
but they say there is danger of some
dangerous missile being concealed in
the cameras, SO they cannot take the
risk of permitting them in the CALLER
les. AS the guards refuse to be
sponsfble for packages left with them
the fears of the senators result in cut
ting down their audiences. During
recent exciting and prolonged session
of the Senate several young women
who did not wish to miss any of the
interesting debate sent out for some
luncheon. The guard stopped the mes
SenSer his return. He explained
that the package contained things
which were dangerous only when Ia
ken internally, but the doorkeeper was
obdurate- The young women were
forced to give up their desirable seats
and eat their lunch in the corridor.
On another occasion wellknown
congressman attempted to enter the
Senate gallery with a suspicious1ook-
Ing bulge to his coat and he was made
to show what he carried in his pocket.

ShfpbuiIdino in VIRGINIA.

In the Census Bulletin of May 5th
on manufactures is pointed out that
between 1890 and 1900 Virginia ad-
vanced from a position of compare
lively small Importance to place
among the leading shipbuilding states.
1t will doubtless be a surprise to
most of our readers to know that in
1900 Virginia was the first state in
the amount of capital invested in this
industry, third in the number of wage
earners and wages paid, and fourth in
the value of products Its capital in
vested in shipbuilding increased from
less than a third of a million dollars
in 1890 to nearly SIS, ZOO, 900 in 1900
which is two and One-third times as
great as the entire capital invested
in the shipbui1ding industry in New
England, more than double the CAPT
tai invested the Pacific coast,
and almost equal to the entire amount
of capital invested in Shipbuilding on

George Washineton's Religion.

A New York Tribune correspondent
writing from Washington arrays all
the historical evidence at hand and
concludes that the first president was
not a communicate of any religious
body. A leading quotation, that from
Robert Dale Owen, seems to convey
the spirit of the whole communica-
ton: When 1 spoke of Washington s
deathbed. l had the account of
eyewitness lying before me. And most
strongly does that corrobOrate my
opinion that Washington's religion
was of the most liberal stamp No
clergyman around his deathbed- No
protestations that in the dying hour
religion afforded him aid. No praying.
No repeating of texts. No asking for
q Bible to read a chapter. The Father
of His Country died the death of a
patriot; he died as he had lived in
dignity and peace; but he left behind
him not one word to warrant the be-
lief that he was other than a sincere

Land Stolen by The Sea.

The Strand Magazine describes the
steady and disastrous eating away of
the coast line of England by the en-
croaching sea, and it is stated that
the annual loss of area by coast eros
ion in England alone is probably not
less than 1000 acres
On the other hand, marsh lands
have been drained and other lands
reclaimed, but these areas are insig-
nificant compared with those which
have been lost.
Parts of the lost lands We're 1ow-ly-
ing. protected by bikes 1evees,
which were eventually preached; 9TH
er parts were washed away by floods
and storms; but in many cases the
sea is eating it's way into tall cliffs,

from the balconies will hang bells,

Roosevelt and the Detectives.


Secretary Cortelyou and the secret

plans to prevent President Roosevelt
exposing himself in public too much, -
said White House policeman, 'but
he knocks all their plans in the head
when they least expect it. When he
is about to start away a trip the
White House landau is always brought
up to the door, closed. President Nc
Kin1ey generally preferred to ride in a
closed vehicle. President Roosevelt
won't have it that way on fine, clear
day, and every time he walks out on
the pOrticO and sees the landau closed
he gives orders to have it opened.
He waits until that is done and then
gets in and rides down the avenue
or wherever he is going, without any
obstruction whatever to his view. He
often OutwitS the detectives by getting
away for walks or drives without tn cir
being any the wiser without their
being able to follow him. He doesn t
tell anybody that he is going out,
