The Evans Hotel at Hot Springs closed
on the first of October after a very sue
cessful season. 1t is singular, too, that
so many should come to the Springs
seeking the cooling shades of a summer
resort. If they should advertise it as a
pleasant winter resort, it would com
nearer to "the eternal fitness of things.

the miners and other creditors, who
levied upon a lot of mica in store for
their pay. 1t was bought in by the for

Good miners are getting scarce in Gus
ter rs quite a number have taken a trip
to the new camp in Wyoming during
the last week. Several Of our mining
superintendents are complaining that
they cannot get men enough to do the
work, but this condition in all probable

soon be nocking back. Everyone who
has ever lived in Custer or worked in
this camp, though they 60 away occa-

Custer, and get back as soon as there is
anything to do.

will double that, and then some.

what disagreeable, a pleasant fire was
burning in the CRATE and the ladies spent
an extremely pleasant afternoon in chat
ting and sewing. About five o'clock the
guests were summoned to the dining
room where a dainty and delicious sup
per was awaiting them. The house was
lighted with pink and white candles
and pink roses were the favors. After
this repast the guests assembled in the
drawing room and Mrs. G. f. Perrin
rendered some very beautiful musical
selections. At seven o'clock the ladies
took their departure after having enjoy
ed a most pleasant afternoon.

Those of our farmers who put off the
stacking Of their grain during the two
weeks of nice weather, declaring their
intention of threshing out of the field,
have been nicely fooled. There was a
spell of drizzley rain set in, the grain got
wet and is still in the field, and it is I'M
certain when it will be in condition to
thresh. Those who were wise enough
to promptly stack their grain have found
that there has been no weather to hin
der them and have gone right along and
are about through with their threshing.
This should be a lesson to some Of our
procrastinating farmers who would rath-
er wait a week than work a day, and the
moral is stack your grain when you have
q chance.

We understand that up in Deadwood
some of the people are protesting against
the practice of the retail market men of
setting their vegetables out on the side
walk in the morning. Their contention
is that while so many dogs are allowed
to run loose, the vegetables should be set
up on racks sufficiently elevated to be
above high water mark. We consider
the point well taken and the storekeep-
ers in other towns might with propriety
make q note OF it.

New Leader of the Minority.

John Sharp Williams of Yazoo, Mis- sissippi, who is the choice of the dem- ocrats In the house for speaker, and who will thus become the leader of the minority in this congress, has been a member ten years, and is now enter ing upon his sixth consecutive term. He Is a lawyer as well as a planter, and he brings to his new duties fine equipment both in classics and in poli- tics. He is student all along the line If he displays as much tact and caution in his new post as scholarly requirements, he will indeed be fine acquisition to the side that will in the next congress undoubtedly control the house.
 A congress that precedes Presi- dential election is always an interest. ing congress, and Mr Williams has a splendid opportunity. His friends are confident he will prove another Crisp, and that he will prod the administra- ton at it's weak spots. It certainly has enough such spots, and MT Will Hams will no doubt uncover all it's meanness at Panama as well as else where.
 MT. Richardson of Tennessee is still member of congress, but it is gen erally understood that he will soon retire from public life in order to give his entire time to tho Masonic body, and he lays down the leadership in anticipation of that event.

ROxBURGHE-GOELET.

From the New York Sun.
 The Duke of Roxburghe and Captain the Hon. Reginald Ward, his best man, are members of the Horse Guards, and 1t is the custom when the bridegroom Is an army man, to have him make the first incision in the wedding cake with his sword. Two wedding rings have been baked in this cake.
 The bridal gifts of Miss Goelet were shown to intimate friends yesterday af- ternoon. There was a considerable dis play of sets of jewels. gold and silver table services, rugs, bric-a-brac, clocks cut glass, paintings. curios and what not. The diamond coiffure spray, the gift of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, was much admired, and also the gorgeous diamond bracelet, presented by Mir. and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay Mrs. Ogden Goeet gave her daughter a superb dia- mond tiara.
 Miss Goelet is by no means the richest single woman in New York. -,iiss Helen Gould, who Is four or five years her se- nior, has several times her fortune. Miss Ethel G. Rockefeller is considered the greatest prospective heiress in town. though, perhaps. little Miss Carnegie may be the richer of the two some day.

John SkeIton William S.

Elsewhere will be found an appre- ciative article written by Thomas P Grasty relative to President Williams of the Seaboard Air Line railway. MT. Williams has a host of warm friends In the south, and every one of them will be glad to hear that he still con trols the Seaboard and that the road is in excellent financial con dition. He has made the company what 1t is, and he and his friends own a majority of it's stock.
 This is as the south would have it. Mr Williams is a Virginian-one of those Virginians who never loses, as MT, Grasty says, his courage, his good nature or his head. Such a man can pluck prosperity from diversity. and that is just what MT. Williams will yet do. He is born leader, and under him the Seaboard has become one of the great systems of the south and the country.

Canal Politics at Mashinaton.

The presence in Washington of Am bassador Varilla, a Frenchman, is to say the least, prompt, and he an nounces his business in these words: Tt is my desire and that of the peo- pie of Panama that unnecessary red tape and formalities, so far as dignity will permit, shall be waived, and that we can conclude and sign treaty with the Washington government at the earliest day possible. To the isthmlan government. the canal is the corner stone Of its future existence. To the United States it's construction is the great achievement on which the world waits. Therefore, for the general good delay In this matter cannot be permitted
 We thus, according to Ambassador Varilla, have a republic, born in day. for a canal, of canal by canal, and If no hitch occurs in the programme no doubt the attempt to steal a canal route by first stealing a province will soon be put in the form of a treaty Colombia stands bulldozed and France and Italy are more than willing France because her people want that forty millions, and Italy because of some claims that Colombia would not pay.
 AS matter of fact admitting that the Panama Canal company .formed and carried through the project of secession, and that the United States pulled no strings behind the scenes difficult admission-then the duty of the United States is confined to the keeping of the Panama railroad, and the harbors connected with it's opera tion, open. Any further interference in affairs at Panama would be viola tion of the treaty of 1S46, and of inter- national law and comity
 Congress Is in session. and the sen ate at least will be a judge of any treaty negotiated with a mushroom de facto government Colombia has al ready protested against the lightning like recognition by tais country of the Panama revolutionists, and action on the part of the senate will be deliber- ate and thoughtful The debate over the treaty that Minister Varilla car
 
 structive, and perhaps the senate re. publicans will consent to it's publicity If they do not, the newspaper men will make the debate over the considera. tion of the treaty public, and that vii, permit the public to know what is going on, and the why of it.

 Mayor Carter Harrison has come for- ward with the startling announcement that the big feet of the Chicago nolice- men interfere seriously with the promnt and efficient discharge of their duty. Heretofore we have been accustomed to contine remarks on this subject to the fairer portion of tho Windy City population, but now that the coppers are similarly handicapped. or, rather, pedicapped. things have indeed assumed a calamitous aspect.

 Patrolmen certainly cannot be ex. pected to reduce the size of their feet through the help of chiropodist
 
 A certain paper tells a story wherein 1t seems that the talk of Chicago girls hav- ing large feet has been proved a fallacy. since measurement of chorus damsels pedal extremities revealed the fact that those of the New York girls surpassed in size those from the Windy City with ease But that was no fair test at all. It is reasonable to suppose that girls with large feet will not go on the stage where they would be very conspicuous. and therefore chorus girls should not be ac- cepted as subjects for such a comparison.
 It is reported that slight cracks have been discovered in the roof of the Pan theon at Rome and 1t is feared that this magnificent structure may meet the fate of the Campanile at Venice. Immediate steps should be taken to repair any marks that have been made by the unfeeling hand of time. so that this structure "old In song may continue an object of pil- grimage for artists and scholars in future years. The picturesque beauties of an- cient Rome have been remarkably we'll preserved until this day so that the vis- itor can view places and buildings made famous in history without having to draw on his imagination. It is to be hoped that the Eternal City will never be allowed to disintegrate. Although Campanile has been restored and the Pantheon could per- haps be treated in the same way the old glamour would be to a certain extent de- stroyed. When once modern hands tamper with such masterpieces the poetry of them is all gone.

Speakers Down to MT. Cannon.

Joseph c. Cannon is Illinois first speaker and he was born in North Carolina, which once had a speaker who served six years. MT Henderson lives on the banks of the Mississippi on the west bank, and he was the only man who ever reached the speakershir from the vast territory west of the river.
 The ranking state in this respect Is Kentucky, whose speakers covered twenty years of our history, or about one-sxth of the total life of the repub- lie. The Kentucky speakers were Henry Clay. Carlisle, John White and Linn Boyd. Massachusetts and Vir- ginia each furnished four speakers, and Pennsylvania three New York's only speaker was J. w Taylor, long ago forgotten. He was speaker in the days of the Missouri compromise, about eighty years ago.
 From the cotton states were taken Langdon Cheves and James l.. Orr, both of South Carolina; John Bell and James K. Polk of Tennessee, and How ell Cobb and Charles r. Crisp of Geor- gia-that Is all. No other southern state in the cotton belt has been hon. ored with the speakership.
 James K Polk reached the Presi. dency after serving as speaker. but no other speaker became President, al though every one of them had the Presidential bee in his bonnet Young men have been speakers. R. M. T.. Hunter of Virginia was but 30 years old when he became speaker, anG Henry Clay was young man when he took the chair in 1911. Alabama has a young man In her delegation who may become speaker, and he would be worthy successor in the long line, and an honor to his state and to the mineral district that he represents.
