Has No Direct Authority.
Mr.. Hitchcock has no direct author
lty over the Dawes commission, since
it's members are appointed by the pres

exercises merely a supervisory care
over their official acts. 1t is not doubt
ed that if 1t were left to him to act he
would do Immediately, and with a
vigor that would be effective.
He and other officials of the inte
rior department have contended for
| several months that there was no
! longer any use for the Dawes commits
sion, and that its abolition would speed
the settlement of the many veXing
questions involved in the problem of

America.
Miss Natica Reeves, q wealthy young
sojourner in Newport, appeared on the

style bids fair to become general for
the hot weather.

Ladies' Bird Protective association,
the members Of which are 20 defy the

Americans interested in the same
movement to send her statistics deal

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has such an as
sured place in society that she does
not hesitate TO tell Of her husbands
early struggles with the world. In
fact. she is rather fond Of doing so.
While in Nice last spring she related
at a dinner party how Mr.. Fish worked
his way up to the presidency Of the Iii
nois Central railroad. A German
prineeling who was among the guests
remarked, with just trace Of q sneer:
Il had always heard that your hus-
band came from a fine family"
Mrs. Fish met this thrust with
perfect good nature. "Oh, yes.
he does. But yOu see in America
it is not disgrace 10 work. How much
better It would be if-these conditions
prevailed in Europe. We in America
would be spared so many titled non

The observatory Is TO take the form
OF tower and will closely resemble
an old English castle. Situated upon
the now unOccupied mound, which has
been allowed to remain on the Munroe
