ARRAIGNs SENATOR HoAR.

Mr.. Foraker said he had felt no great surprise
| when the attack on the President had been
/ made on the Democratic side of the chamber
! but he had been shocked when the Senator from
| Massachusetts made the character of speech he
surprised.
Attention was called by Mr.. Foraker to Mr..
Hoar's announcement that the speech he was
about to make should be made in executive ses-
sion, and" said Mr.. Foraker "perhaps ne
thinks that announcement a sufficient apology
for going on and making in open session a
speech which he has acknowledged should have
been made only in executive session. and which -
added Mr.. Foraker lit has been suggested to
me should not have been made at all"
Mr. Foraker declared that an attack had been
made not on the President alone. but on the
country. and that when the eyes OF the world
were on the United States. It would have been
the better part OF patriotism and conservatism
he said TO have asked for the desired informa-
obtained just as well, and every purpose of the
Senator from Massachusetts, would have been
sanseryed IT the matter had been discussed be-
mind closed doors.
TRIBUTE TO THE PRESIDENT
"As IT is" said Mr.. Foraker, the remarks Of
the senators who have made these speeches Will
be scattered broadcast over the country have
no doubt that the President acted with the
loItiest OF motives and the highest Of ideals
Wnen ne TOOK the action he did in reference to
, me Republic or Panama"
Mr. Tnlman asked Senator Foraker If he had
any hhO@ieuge OF the modifying OF five thou
s@I" e"tu4eIs 70 H'aIch on Bogota, and whether
Information or this character did not come from
the White House. " -"
Mr.. Foraker said that nothing had been given
TO him on that subject and advised Mr. Tiii,ne.

Obituary.

Mrs. A. H. Turner died Wednesday
morning and will be buried at Luc-
cocks Grove, but when we did not
learn. The deceased was about seven
ty-five years of age and has been very
sick tor the past year. She was born
in Penn. but they have been resi-
dents of this county many years. They
lived out in Viola township until they
came to their present location.
She has borne her sickness with low
ing patience and noble self sacrifice
that has endeared her to all who have
helped to minister to her wants. She
leaves husband and four children,
two boys and two girls to mourn for a
mother who was kind and patient
with them and taught them by exam
pie the way they should live. She
had no fear of Deaths dark pail be-
cause from out beneath it's dark, damp
gloom she could see star of silvery
brightness, illuminating pathway
marked by a reflected light of a life of
loving helpful usefulness.

CURIOUS SCENE I'M GENOA
A Street Where the SUMS Light Is
ObscuYed by DRYING Clnthes

Obscured by Drying Clothes.
One of the most curious scenes in
all Italy is to be found in the laun-
dresses quarter in Genoa. This quar-
ter consists of short street which is
reached by descending few steps
branching off from the main thorough
fare. Buildings Of six stories rise on
each side Of the street, and from ev-
cry one Of their windows is stretched
one or more clotheslines sagging with
the weight Of apparel of every kind
and condition An eternal shadow cast
by hundreds of drying garments hangs
over this quarter and makes it dark
and gloomy. The pedestrian who looks
upward toward the blue sky can see
nothing but cloud Of variegated shape
and color which effectively ObscureS
the light Of the sun.
In the center of the street below
there stand in sort of summer house
a number of public tanks. Crowds Of
shrill voiced women gather day by day
about this out of door laundry to eX-

Why Grass grows Hollow.

The stems of grass and oats are usu-
ally hollow, and the knots of nodes
which occur at intervals and which
have peculiar degree Of firmness, de-
rived from the interlacing of fibers,
give them a firmness and strength
which they would otherwise lack. If
the material of wheat straw were in
solid form, it would make but a thin
w1ry stem, which would snap with
great ease, but in the hollow form,
with the intervening knots, the neces-
sary support is afforded.
