mission which directed the construc-
ton Of the state historical library, and
it carries an appropriation Of $4,000
The commission is to investigate the
best plan for making the improve
ments in the state house and sets aside
$4,000 for the employment of archi-
tects. Senator Roehr said he was
opposed to expending any more money
on the capitol as it was wasting
money. After some discussion the
bill was laid over. The senate voted
to recall from the assembly the bill
providing for a two-cent a mile pas
senger rate. Senator Martin made a
motion that the vote by which it was
non-concurred in be reconsidered. Gov.
La Toilette sent three important
vetos to the legislature, one on the
crow bounty bill, one on Senator
Riordan's dam bill, which would dis
pose in wholesale of the right to build
dams on the Wisconsin river for a
distance of 40 miles, and one on the
Eaton bill to compel towns, through
which interurban car lines run, to ex-
pend the money which these roads pay
in license fee taxes for the lighting
and improvement of the roads. This
law would have compelled towns in
the county to buy electricity from
these companies for lighting purposes.
In the veto of the crow bill the COVER
nor said: This bill compels the pay
ment by counties of a tax in the form
of bounty for the killing Of crows
and hawks. l am firmly convinced
that it is mistaken policy to en-
croach By state legislation upon local
government where the subjects per-
tain so especially to local interests,
and where the expenses must be borne
by local taxation" A new bill was in
troduced in the assembly, in accord
ance with the governors suggestion.
to give counties the right to give
bOunties on crows but not to compel
them to do so. It passed Senator

Madison, May 1S.-The Lenroot

unanimous vote. 1t provides that in
the future no franchise for a street
railway, electric lighting, gas, water

HOSPlTABLE LADY LENNON.
How She Once Sent Card for
Dinner to the Wrong Man.

Lady Henry Lennox, whose death is
announced, was one OF the most gen.
erous ana most hOspitable hOstesses
in London. She came comparatively
lac into the social world, when she
introduced her second husband. Mr.
White, a. wealthy manufacturer OF
Glasgow, to buy a large house in
Princes gate, and began entertaining
on a colossal scale. The methods by
which Mr. and Mrs. White of Ard
daroch'-for so they styled them
selves established their social posi-
ton were adventurous and | should
think, original.
One day a young gentleman who
had just come up from Oxford, and
who happened to bear the same name
as an eminent publicist, was sur
prised and pleased by receiving a
large card which notified him that
Mr. and Mrs. White desired the honor
of his company at dinner. He
promptly accepted and on the APP
pointed evening duly presented him
self in Princes gate. He found him
one of whom he had ever seen before
and though a social tyro he was sharp
enough to see that his host and host
ess were at least as much surprised
to see him as he was to find himself
in their house. But the surprise,
though evidently felt, was not eX-
pressed in words, and therefore there

During dinner our young friend re-
volved the possibilities in his mind,
and after dinner, flown with inso-
lence and wine he told his hostess
that he felt confident that he had not
been expected.
With benignant grace, Mrs. White,
replied that this was true, and added
the explanation-she had been expect
ing the synonymous publicist.
Young Oxford, thankful to find the
mistake was not his, ventured to say:
Il should have thought that any
one who knew the other would have
known that his christian name was

Well" replied the hostess, "the
fact is, we don't know him, but we
had heard he was a pleasant person
and fond of dining out, so we asked Il
friend for his address but she seems
to have given US yours instead AS
he is a celebrity we asked all these
other people to meet him!"
From that day forward ''Billy"-al-
