1t was with quiet chuckles that mem
bers of the house greeted their colleagues
In the upper chamber one day last week,
relates the New York Tribune, and an ex-
preston of unutterable sadness overshad-
owed the countenance of every senator.
The benignity which usually characterizes
the face OF the genial senator from Massa-
chusetts has given place to deepest gloom,
and the temperature OF the senate commit
tee on judiciary is not far from zero.
BY mutual agreement the senate laid the
statehood bill over and took up the cal
endar. In the course of the afternoon
senate till 4,06s, an act to redivide the
District Of Alaska into three recording and
judicial divisions" was called up, was
passed over and later taken up again at the
request Of Senator Hoar. The senator
then moved to amend the e~nacting clause
so as to make the measure operative be-
ginning with June 10, 1902. and the bill was
passed. 1t was discovered hat this bill
was passed by both house and senate at
the last session Of congress and did take
effect on June 10, 1902. since which date
II has ben a statute Of the United States.
The friends OF Senator Hoar ascribe the
error to the fact that he is worn out with
the fatigue of drafting his antitrust meas
ure and, say the mistake was only natural
under the circumstances. MerOlers of the
house, however, recall the fact that Mr..
Hoar once introduced a bill appTopriating
500, 900 for the purpose of surveying a
railroad from Wrangel 20 Sitka. between
which points there lie 200 miles of the Pa
cihc ocean, and suggest that the venerable
senator was merely trying to satisfy the
importunate Alaskans, who are besieging
congress for legislation by re-enaeting pre-
vious laws. Parliamentary errors are some
times made in the house and are referred
to by the senators as natural In the lower
chamber" but that the dignifed senate
should commit such a blunder is past COM
prehension.

The conscience Of some one living at
Bealeton, Va, has been troubling him to
the extent of II cents, with the result that
the division Of public moneys of the Treas
ury department has credited that amount
to the conscience fund of the treasury.
An envelope postmarked Bealeton, Va,
and addressed to THE Treasury" turned
up in Secretary ShRw's mail q few days
ago. When opened 1t was found to contain
six 2-cent stamps and a sheet Of paper,
upon which was written: Money re-
turned for misused stamps by One VIII
VIII Never Do 1t Again"
No statement is made as to how the
stamps were misused, but often such con-
tributions turn up with the confession that
the contributor has taken stamps of en-
velopes received and used them again. 1t
sometimes occurs that the canceling ma
chimes does not strike the stamp, and II
goes through the mails as good as II I'M

Senator George c. Perkins OF California
has some unusual ideas regarding the cleo
ton Of United States senators and on ac-
count Of these he refused to listen to the
appeals of his friends to go to California
during the recent senatorial fight there.
Il regard the members Of the l~egisla-
ture," said he, "as the jury OF the people,
so far as the election of senators is con-
cerned. Before the election Of the legisla-
ture I made a campaign which extended the
length and breadth OF my state. 1 told the
people that l was a candidate for r~e-elec-
tion and I made my promises to them. They
elected a republican legislature and by so
doing made that legislature their jury.
When opposition appeared to my r~e-elec-
ton my friends urged me to leave Wash
ington and personally conduct my case be-
fore the legislature, but 1 do not think It
is right for senators to try to influence the
action OF legislatures, so 1 remained in
Washington. In other words, I refused to
tamper with the jury"

There is much illness, as we'll as weari-

bers OF congress this winter. One day last
week while Senator Nelson Of Minnesota
was expoundlng his views on the omnibus
statehood bill one of the two senators who
remained in the chamber dropped into a
pitifui sleep and occasionally punctuated
the senator's remarks with wierd snorts.
One of the ordinations awakened the
sleeper. Excuse me- said Senator Nelson,
"for disturbing your rest" Among the alb
sentees on account OF sicknes is Senator
Money Of Mississippi, who is reported seri-
ously i'll. Senator Carmack Of Tennessee
has a bad eye, which has kept him at home
and prevented him from reading for two
or three months. Senator Pritchard Of
North Carolina has been in the hospital

All Of these, except Senator Hawley, are

or better able to take up the arduous work
which most Of them have in a short session

NEWEST THINGS SEEN IN THE SHOPS
NOVELTIES FROM THE WORLD OVER

VI NEITHER the change is due to the suggestion
w of Paris simply to the dictates of con-
venience, the size of the handbag carried
here Is steadily increasing The newest arrivals In
this line are smart aaffirs in colored leather of
bright tints such as oxblood red and royal blue.
They are intended for substantial uses.
The woman who knows is taking up beadwork
with dainty handbag in view. Old models in
beading particularly sought after, and here,
too, the tendency is toward amplitude. The chic
article IS at least six by eight inches.
For bag to accompany light gowns, light col
pred beads are used. The effects wrought in them
are often charming. Some of these bead designs
sEr mounted in gold and drawn up on gold rings
with a velvet ribbon.
These are quite beyond the purse string of the
woman of moderate income. They range from $50
10 500 in the shops.
Top collars of heavy canvas and pioue en-

HOSPITAL QUARANTINED
Two Cases of Smallpox That DeveI-
 oped There the Cause


 It was reported on the streets yes terday afternoon that the company hospital had been quarantined on ac- count of the two cases of smallpox which developed there last Thursday.
 An effort was made last night to reach the hospital, but the central tel ephone office refused to make connec- tions on the grounds that Dr. Sweet, head of the hospital department. had forbidden her to give any one the hos: pital number without his permission.
 Later in the evening Dr. Sweet was asked over the telephone if the hos pital had been quarantined and em- phatically denied that such was the case. He gave as a reason for not al- lowing any one to talk with the hos pital the fact that the room in which the telephone box is located, is now being fumigated.
 When asked if any more cases of the smallpox have broken out at the hospital he stated that none have. He said that the two nurses who were taken to the pesthouse are both doing well. and will recover in the course of little time.
