WINGS FOR
CAPITOL
h. {. Cooper Calls for
Sketches of
Plans.

superintendent of Public Works
Cooper has called for plans from the
local architects for wings to the Capitol
building to accommodate the growing
needs of the government Mr.. Cooper
has no special ideas formed for the
height or width of the wings with the
exception that they are to harmonic
with the present Capitol building in
general appearance. The proposed
wings, which are to be built on the
Waikiki and Eva sides of the building
are to contain accommodations for the
Senate and House of Representatives,
with offices for the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House OF
Representatives, clerks and sergeant
alarms in one wing. and Supreme
Court and three circuit court rooms,
chambers for the Supreme Court
judges. grand and petit jury rooms.
offices for clerks. stenographers and
bailiffs, a law library and fire proof
vault for records in the other wing.
The Superintendent can offer no COM
pensation for the preparation Of plans,
and the lucky architect whose sketches
are approved is the only one likely to
make any money out of the proceeding
when the necessary appropriation is
made by the legislature. The plans will
be received to the end of the present
month.

THE BIRTH RATE.
Some Interesting Statistics on the
 Subject.

Chicago Tribune.
 When the world has a population of LOO to every square mile of its present explored land. even the sign. standing room only. will have to he taken in This is admitted as 3 scientific fact. Yet while savants are deploring the present birth rate in ciYi!i2a aticn. it is established that for the world at large there will be in every 1.0oo0 00O births 1300o pairs of twins l6o sets of trip!ets. and eight quadruplets with odd chances fer an occasional quin- let ad lib.
 In this respect, however. Mrs. George Hirsch of Dallas, Texas, has set the re- cord of the world. In November, 1888, Mrs Hirsch gave birth to six children, four of them boys and TWO of them girls, there9y making good the observation that in multiple births boys are born in the proportion of at least 15s boys to III girls.
 Apropos of the present agitation of the birth rate of the world and of certain countries and classes in those countries. it is of especial interest that for all the world in the 100 years of the nineteenth century. the average increase of the worlds population was ten individuals in each year for each 1000 of population. This increase was not at all times steady; wars and famines had their effects, and in other periods of the century were marked increases and decreases in the rate. apparently without any reasonable cause.

 Years in Siberian Convict Camp.

He, too was an eldest son and the heir to i'm. mense wealth and estates, hardly less extensive than those of Count Kazi moff. on which they bordered. Coun, been schoolboys together, had gone through university together and were the best of friends till a woman came be- tween them. This was a girl named Fe- porter at the club which both the young officers frequented.
 Fatal Face Caused Tragedy.
 Fedora Tebloff was at the time IS years old and beautiful. according to the standard of her class a fact of which she herself was well aware She was CO., quettish in the extreme and always had bevy of admirers in her wake. Count kazimoff was her chosen favorite until one day. in an evil hour for all concerned he introduced his friend, Count Delgo- rouki. to her. and the fickle maiden quickly transferred her affections to the newcomer.
 Count Kazimoff spared no pains to re- gain Fedora's favor, but Delgorouki did his utmost to supplant his comrade. so that the old friendship between the young men developed into the f1ercest hatred. Many stormy encounters took place. and once. when Count Kazimoff . pany, angry words led to blows and a savage hand to hand struggle.
 A duel was the inevitable result, and this was fought on the following day in a field on the outskirts of St. Peters burg. Swords were used. and the two noblemen, both skilled in the use of the weapon. fought as only the deadliest enemies fight-with intent to kill. It soon became clear that Count KaZim off had found his master. and in the fifth round he received a wound in the right arm which disabled him and caused the seconds to put an end to the duel.
 The combatants shook hands a the finish. and Count Kazimoff expressed a desire that their old friendship might be revived and the cause of their enmity forgotten. The reconciliation seemed complete. and not long afterward Count Dolgorouki accepted an invitation from Count Kazimoff to go hunting on his estate Ljubjana. in the province of Novgorod.
 Renewed the Quarrel.
 On the third day of their stay came the tragedy that meant death to the one and lifelong imprisonment to the other. Kazi- moff and Dolgorouki were out hunting to gether. and the topic of Fedora Tebloff seems to have been raised again for the huntsmen and beaters in attendance on were engaged in a hot dispute Their tendants heard Count Delgorouki threat -en to inform Count Kazimoffs flancee of his fondness of Fedora Tebloff to

His Excellency aenL Washington & co.
Not Like Starvation Fare.

Here. then. was a party of eight revob lutionary officers, whose dinner, includinM wines, whiskies, etc, cost close to 1 pound each. The eight men paid three times ca much for their punch as they did foH their eatabes, and more for wine thaH for the actual food consumed. Their serS wants had punch also. but the hgures show that either the quantity was much less or the quality worse. Probably a was diluted for the servants.
 The man who jumps at the conclusicxt that the bill shows that there was q bacchanalian feast on the evening in question may be wrong. however. Al that period in the revolutionary days, Ja} maica rum. from which punch was made was as scarce as water on the great desS erts of the west. Only a nervy blockade runner could get the punch into Balti< more. with the waters of the country surrounded by British ships. So the keeps CT of the inn had to charge according to the cost of the rum from which th( punch was made. The wine was cheaps4 and probably more plentiful.

WASHINGTON LIKED ToDDY.
Father of His Country Indulged Freely in Use of Ardent Spirits.

ETGelY III OS0 OL 0pAIAt6s Washington Star.
 There were times during the revolu- tlonary war when General Washington neither went short of food nor of drink and when he and his friends had the fat of the land. Whatever history may say as to the deprIvations suffered by Gen eral Washington, the facts are in pos session of the Government that Wash ington occasionally had a good time and that the revolutionary government had to pay for it. General Washington was not Vermont prohibltionist in theory or practice if the bills paid by the Govern ment may be relied upon. He and his staff liked something to drink, and they liked the best to he had.
 General Washington frequently stopped In Baltimore on his journeys to and from the South. He honored various inns with his visits. He had authority to pay all bills contracted by him and his staff. He stopped during one of these visits at the Fountain Inn, kept by Daniel Grant. The inn is now the Carrolton Hotel.
 Ran Up a Big Bill.
 Tn September, 17s1, the particular visit referred to was made and General Wash ington and seven members of his staff remained at the inn for dinner. They left their horses over night. Where they spent the night and took breakfast is not, known so far as the bill shows. but their servants remained at the inn. The Mary land Historical Society has unearthed some facts about this visit in documents of its own and there is an animated dis cussion going on about 1t. One man has written to the Treasury Department re- questing a copy of the original bill of Daniel Grant to General Washington and 1t was dug out of the archives of the Auditor for the Treasury Department. The original. still well preserved, was shown to Secretary Shaw, who laughed heartily at the good times that Wash

Curtis Brown In Milwaukee Sentinel.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 26.-In some re- spects Count Tolstois powerful novel, Resurrection" Is not so dramatic or ab- Sorbing as the true story of a worn, sad faced old man who a few days ago stepp- ed feebly from the Moscow express at the central station here, and with the help Of young man in his company en- tered the sleigh waiting to convey him to the family residence of the kazimoffs. This old man was Count Theodore Kazi- moff, who has now returned from Sibe- ria, whither he was exiled exactly fifty years ago for the murder of his best friend, Count Demetri Dolgorouki.
 For fifty years Count Kazimoff prayed for death in Siberian penal settlement. crushed by the severity of his punish ment and by the knowledge that all his relatives and friends believed him guilty of the atrocious crime for which he had been condemned. Now after all these years of physical suffering and mental agony. it has been discovered that Count Kazimoff was inocent of the crime of granted by the czar has enabled him to return to his old home in St. Petersburg. to die in liberty, with every stain re- moved from his character.
 Few lives have been more tragic than that of Count Kazimoff. and few inno- cent men have had toundergo so terrible an ordeal as that which he has under gone. yet as things have turned out he must be thankful that his prayer for speedy death was not answered, and that he has lived long enough for his guilt lessness to be established before all the world.
 Heir of Great House.
 The beginning of this remarkable story takes us back to the year 1852. when Count Theodore Kazimoff was a gay young officer in the cavalry guards. His father was the head OF the KaZi- moffs. and one of the foremost noble families of the Russian empire, and. be- ing the eldest son. Count Theodore was the heir to the greater part of the vast estates and wealth which his forefath- CTS had accumulated. The magnificent inheritance that awaited him consisted of half a million acres of land in various parts of Russia. thirteen palaces and castles, besides some score of hunting lodges summer villas, and smaller resi- dences, and a fortune estimated at $l5 GOO.

 He was 25 years old tall handsome, and the darling of St. Petersburg SO ciety: beautiful girl of high character and equally noble birth had promised to become his wife. and his superior of ficers prophesed for him a distinguished military career.

Frances Decreasing Birth Rate.

In 200 years France has lost place as the most populous country of Europe. dropping from the first place in the year 100 to fourth place in 1900, while in these years the loss by emigration has been un- der that of almost any other country on the continent In 100 the population of France was 4N per cent. of the combined populate of Great Britain Germany, and France. while in 1900 it was only 15 per cent. of this same total In 100 the order of population was France, Ger many and Russia in 1900 it was Russia, Germany. Great Britain and France
 It was in 1895 that the French Govern ment undertook to combat this growing minus quantity in population statistics, In one year there had been SS,00O more deaths than births in the republic, and as an inducement to marriage and the prop agation of children prizes were offered by the State for big families; levies of recruits for army and navy were con- fined to men who were unmarried and not under contract of marriage; and in sev- eral ways taxes were remitted against men of family and imposed against those in the single state.
 But with all this the problem still is before the French people, and from the French it has been reflected in all serious ness throughout civilization. Taking the average yearly increase in the population of the world through the nineteenth cen- tury, this ten in each 1000 has been es- timated as sufficient to All the world in the xAar- 22So A, D.

In general. there is tend ency among young couples toward male children and of middle aged parents to female offspring In this proportion of sex. the census of 1900 for the United States shows an increase of women over those numbered in the census of 1890. To each 100000 males in 1890 there were 95. III females. and in 1900 the proportion was 95353 females to each 100000 males.

Normal Increase in Population.

Normal Increase in Population.
 Tn considering this average increase of ten in the l.0o0 fer each year of the cen- tury however. something more than the birth rate Is considered. This increase was the averag ge material increase of population. despite the mortality of the infants. children. adults and the aged; an increase based upon the fact that for ev- cry 100 married women in continental Europe 420 children were born. From this average birth rate among Europeans 1t becomes plain what enormous mortality losses are considered in the worlds aver age increase of only ten to the 1000 of population.
 With reference to the present interest in the birth rate of civilization, France has been the provoking cause. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century France has been facing death rate which has made its birth rate resemble the 90 cents Of the slang dictionary In the year 1901 the birth in the French Elm pire exceeded the deaths by only one fifth of 1 per cent. in many years fol- lowing this rate scarcely held and in 1895 the Government of the republic became concerned to the point of legislation to prevent a marked decrease in births over deaths
