SHALL IT Be THAT'S OFF" IN
CHURCH?-Unless the preachers want
to pose in spectacular attitudes, we
can see no reason why the women
should be required to remove their
hats in church. 1t is necessary in the
theater, because the eye as we'll as the
ear must necessarily perform its func-
ton for enjoyment of the play, and
full view of the stage should not be
obstructed. No such necessity exists
in church. In fact, from the number
of closed eyes we have observed in the
sacred edifice, the presumption obtains
that a drawn veil over sublimary af.
fairs is essential for a full enjoyment
of church worship. The fact is, that
the outdoor hat worn in church is
difficult to manage. 1t is necessary
to remove many pins before it is taken
off; it must be removed with great
care to avoid disarranging the coils Of
hair essential for women's adOrnment,
and after 10 is off, it is cumbersome
and requires much of the attention
that should be bestowed to sermon
and prayer. If the ladies resolve to
obey the needless command to uncover
their heads in church. a modification
Of head-wear is necessary. the same as

Death Of State Senator Hamilton

No event could more forcibly teach
the mutability of human hopes and
aspirations than the death of Edward
S. Hamilton, of Tacoma, who died of
combination of typhoid fever and
pneumania, in that city, Wednesday
morning.
Deceased was eminentlv self-made
man. He was native of New York
State, born in Brooklyn, July 18th,
1875. His parents moved to Peekskill,
the same State, during his early boy
hood, and he was educated at the
Winchester County Institute, gradual
ing in 1882. He came to this State in
1883 and located at Port Townsend
and engaged in the real estate bust
ness. He moved to Tacoma the same
year, and entered the employ of the
Puget Sound Stevedore Co. as book.
keeper, and subsequently became its
manager, in which he displayed much
executive ability. He formed part.
nership with w. L. McCabe, in the
law profession, with Offices at Tacoma
and Seattle.
He became of late years an impor-
tant political factor, having acquired
a knowledge of party methods uuder
j. W. Hustled, of New York, known as
" The Bald Eagle" He was for years
his private secretary and assistant.
He was elected State Senator in 1898,
and reelected last year. He assumed
the active management of Senator
Fosters campaign, and it was doubt.
less owing to his shrewd maneuvers
that it was successful. During the
past few months an active campaign
had been inaugurated by his friends
for him to become successor in that
high Office, and had he lived his
chances for election would have been
excellent.
His wife was at his bedside con-
stantly during his illness, and his lit
tie daughter Edna, five years of age,
comforted his last hours by her child
ish presence. A step-mother at Peeks-
kill, a younger brother, George H.,
and sister, Mrs. A. ]. Voyer of AL.
bauy. New York, survive him. The
brother.in-law left Wednesday for Ia
coma, to be present at the funeral OBJ
sequies which will be held Sunday OF
Monday.
The family was identified with the
First Congregational church OF Ia
coma, and deceased was a member Of
Tacoma Lodge of Elks, and Com.
mencement Lodge No. 7, X. OF P, and
the National Union.

SOME AGED ACTREssEs.-Mrs. Gill
bert, an actress who appeared at the
Park Theater, Boston, with Annie
Russell's company, last week, is proba.
bly, the oldest actress on the stage, she
then celebrating her SD birthday by
assuming ono OF the leading parts in
the nights performance. Actors and
actresses from all over the country
cent their congratulations, and her
dressing.room on the stage and her
rooms at the hotel were veritable bow
ers of flowers. A few years ago, Mrs.
Bowers appeared at Olympia Theater,
as support of Warde with record of
fifty consecutive years on the stage.
Anna Bishop, the wife of Sir Henry
Bishop, made her debut as a singer in
1881, sang in Europe until 1859, and
in this country and South America al
most up to the time OF her death in
1884. She probably was on the stage
nearly half a century. Adelina Patti
made her operate debut in 1861, and
is still singing, but she has been on
the operate stage only forty-two years.
Janauschek. impoverished and slowly
dying in New York, came to this coun.
try forty years ago and was on the
stage nearly fifty years. But none of
these has had as long stage ex-
perience as Mrs. Gilbert. She made
her first appearance in 1916, and has
therefore, been on the stage ffty-seven
years. Henry Irving sent Mrs. Gilbert
his congratulations from across the
sea Hail to thee, lady, and the graces
of Heaven en-wheel thee round"

SIC TRANSIT GLORIA CLAM.CHow-
DER-And now We have it, on no
less authority than the Scientific
american, that there is danger of the
we'll known favorite at all festive
boards-the companionable little fell
low so frequently found in stew, the
irresistible clam, will, in the course of
time, become extinet. In fact, like
the buffalo and the lobster (the crus-
tacean kind) the clam is already fast
disappearing, and the U. S. Fish Com
mission is endeavoring to propagate
the mollusk by artificial culture
While the commission is combining its
efforts to the soft-shell, long clam, the
State of New York, which is likewise
directing attention to the same OBJ
ject, has selected the round or hard
clam for experimental results, with a
view to replenishing the supply of this
prime necessity. Our people are pc.
culiarly interested, for whenever a
shortage of food supply has been re-
ported from any part OF the world,
they have proudly pointed to our
mud-fats with the assurance that
they held crop which never failed
and was ready for harvesting twice a
day, when tide was out. There is no
evidence here yet OF clam famine
but it is a notable fact that while the
pioneers were able to buy them, and
their cousin, the oyster, from the
aborigines for mere song," it now
requires hard cash to tempt his white
brother to part with them. A few
scraps Of sapaiil, or chunk Of
moosansoos now don't 60 for q peck OF
clans, but it requires chickamin, or as
Ben Turner says, iron dollars" to

Here is an Issue, Mr.. Hanna.

1t is strongly intlmated in Eastern
political circles that the U. S. govern
ment is at the very bottom Of the in
surrection at Panama, and has delber-
stely, by secret maneuvers, planned
the way for it. The precipitate recog.
milton of the new government by the
administration seems to confirm that
belief. Mr.. Roosevelt is doubtless i'm
pressed with the thought that change
OF rulers is very rarely made during
international complications. and to
have war-clOud floating on the hOri-
zon as the general election approaches,
will obscure close scrutiny OF the
many scandals that have sprang into
life under the "good enough" and
" stand pat" policies proclaimed by
the big boss.
The Democrats in Congress have re-
solved to ask for an explanation of the
I'M American attitude OF the govern
ment toward the weak Republic to the
south of US. 1t is held that recogni.
ton, before an opportunity had been
given to suppress the rebellion, is just
what our government thought so great
an injustice and so grave a violation
of international comfy when England
afforded refuge to the privateer Ala
bama. 1t is altogether at variance
with the policy hitherto followed by
our government. 1t will require all
the vigor and acumen of the majority
in Congress to afford an explanation
of the several phases of this matter as
they will be presented.

OUTLINED ITS UsE.-From present
indications. it 10 hardly probable that
the Vice Presidential Office will be
used any longer as q shelf for stor.
age Of undesirable politicians. This is
the second time the Republicans have
caught Tartars" in their Presidential
nominations: they took Grant be-
cause he did not have any opinions

cause he had too many ideas and was
too strenuous in expressing them. 1t
seems possible for the party represent.
