A DEMOCRATIC POPE.

Pope Plus X is little inclined to con-
serve the etiquet of the Vatican when
it seems to him unnecessary or stilted.
He is lavish in his favors. Until his
late faintness, at least, he received all
who asked the privilege of an audience,
and made no stint IN blessing all the
crosses and devotional objects present.

tographs among the members of his
household. But one of his browning
strokes of Internationally so far was
his taking the elevator after a recep-
ton to the diplomatic corps to retire to
his chambers. The two noble guards
in attendance went up the stairs at an
unusual rate, in order to reach the
third floor i'm time to do his holiness the
proper honors. The pope, stepping out
and recognizing them, said, in rather
a hurt tone, that they should not have
hurried so; that they ran the danger of
catching cold by getting overheated.

UP AGAINST
TWO GRAND JUR|ES
HOUSE VOUCHERS MAKING TROU-
BILE FOR THOSE WHO CONCEAL
THEM.

The House vouchers whose publica-
ton Speaker Beckley once stated would
"break up the session. are believed to
be still in existence and the federal
grand jury is likely to get hold of them
il they are. On the one hand it is said
that certain members cannot afford to
allow them to be produced. On the
other hand secretion or destruction of
them is likely to be classed as a Grim
inal offence. The officers of the House
are confronted with two alternatives,
both very unpleasant.
Speaker Beckley is not thought to
have possession or control of the miss
ing documents. Several days after
the end of the session he ordered that
they be utrned over to the Secretary of
the Territory. During the session,
Beckley prevented their publication on
the ground that it would break up the
session and stop necessary legislation.
The documents are supposed to be in
the possession or control of Clerk Me-
heula. While the Federal Grand jury's
investigation is directed principally to
the matter of the concealment or des-

truction Of the documents, other mat
tiers may come up and the Territorial
Grand jury is still likely to take up
other features. Attorney General An
drews and Governor Dole have both
been supplied with facts in connection
with one voucher which is made the
basis of a charge of embezzlement of
public money or gross cheat, against
one member of the House.
The thirty members of the House
have all been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the Federal Grand jury on Novem-
Der 9 and the existence and disposition
of the vouchers will be made a matter
of sworn testimony. A majority of
the members know nothing of them,
but there is no telling which ones they
are Marshal Hendry left for Kauai
last night to serve the members there.
1t is said that the vouchers may now
be produced, to stop the federal inves-
tigation, though such production
might not stop it and would probably
start the other jury.

A COLLEGE JOKE.

When off duty Prof Richards of Yale

to him when they heve heard new

whole situation. When he asked who
wanted to go, everyone expressed a
deisre to leave. But when he asked
who had means to go, it was a differ
ent proposition. Rev. Bingham ap-
,pealed to those who had money to be
as generous as they could in helping
those who had no money. The lack OF
money among them is by no means an
infallible sign either of lack of indus
try or lack of thrift. Many are old
and barely able TO work and many are
in bad health. OF those who will go,
there are some whom it is doubtful if
they vii live to reach their native
land.
The appeal to generosity seemed to
be effective. The Andrew Carnegie

count amounted to the prodigious sum

hopes to be able to raise enough money
to take them all, and to provide food
for them While nthe trip and after
they are landed, and until they can
reach the particular islands where their
homes are. He says he feels that a
few dollars cannot be contributed to a
more worthy cause. In his eXplana-

ALASKA At THE
ST, LOUIS FAIR
HER BUILDING WILL BE A
HYDAH INDIAN HOUSE WITH
FOUR TOTEM POLES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Although
there has been so much delay in set
ting the squabble over the Alaskan
commissionership to the st. Louis eX-
position, partial arrangements have al
ready been made for the territory's
exhibit at the fair. The plans for the
educational exhibit, under the direction
of DR.. Sheldon Jackson; are well under
way.
The design for the Alaska building at
St. Louis has been selected. 1t is to be
a Hydah Indian house. No one has ex-
planned why an Indian dwelling should
be used to typify commercial and in
dustrial Alaska, but it is given out
that the building will be a model of
Ils kind, and that totem pole will be
placed at each corner. This will in
crease the popular impression that
Alaska is a land of savages and ice
bergs.
Representatives of the exposition
company have given out the following
statement in regard to tine building and
the exhibit. Some of it is interesting
for it's inaccuracy:
THE Alaskan building will be a Hy-
dab Indian house, with totem poles at
each corner. The tribe of Hydah In
dams now number 7SS. They are
large, well-formed and handsome rice,
with light complexion and have long
been noted for their bravery and fero-
city in war. Their houses are probably
the most attractive among the Alaskan
tribes, and for this reason one was
chosen to represent Alaskan at the st.
Louis exposition. The Hydahs ere
