Effective Decoration for the Table
Wreatha for Guests.
The hostess who was kind enough to
ask me to dinner in Honolulu had chos-
en- scarlet carnations for her table, and
never remember seeing anything more
efreetive. A big silver bowl In the cen
ter was full of them, while a wreath
of them went around the base OF the
stand and four more stretched from
the handles of the bowl to the silver
candelabra in each corner Of the table.
In addition to this, each hors d'oeuvre
plate had the same scarlet wreath
round 1t, which each lady united and
hung round her neck, where it lay like
soft, feathery boa, Some of the men
even did the same. but these We're

self-decoration, presented theirs to the
ladies they had taken down.

The garlands are threaded on piece

the entire result. With this report,
the postmaster general will submit the
statement that Mr.. Machen has re.
signed.
1t is stated that Inspector Fosnes has
discovered a number of irregularities,
which will prove to be examples of un-
iustifiable business methods on the part
of Machen, and that it will be inti-
mated to Machen that he might do we'll

TO ADVANCE zaeGnR cAsaa.
Attorney General win File fiction in
Supreme Court.

Washington, May Authoritative
announcement was made today Of the
intention Of the attorney general to
enter a motion in the supreme court OF
the United States next Monday to adj
vance the hearing Of the Northern Sc
curities case, the appeal ''of which was
docketed recently in that court. It il
altogether probable that the court
will grant the motion, but it is not
likely that the court will take action
on the motion before the sitting on
June 1, when the court will be in ses-
sion for the last time during the pres
ent term. Hence there is no possibiIi-
ty of the argument OF the case before
the court reconvenes on October IL.
As assigned cases never are heard DUR
ing the first week OF term, the earIi-
est probable date for the hearing is
October 10.

tee composed Of prominent members q
different political parties. Conas-
quently the government early In April
was almost entirely without funds. r.
had not enough to pay running ex-
penses, to Say nothing Of foreign claims
and demands. Not cent Of interest
had been paid on the national debt
since the war commenced in 1899. The
claims growing out Of the recent revo-
luton were assuming tremendous pro-
portions, and as there were no other
means Of relief il was apparent that
the government must again have re
course to the lithogTaphic stones and
start the presses running again. More
over. it was the general opini that
even the small measure Of relief which
might follow the receipt Of the sIO,-
0O0, 900 from the United States on ac-
count OF the Panama canal could not be
obtained, as it was not expected that
congress would ratify the treaty.
AT one time last year the exchange
on New York was $4,000; that is to
say. p, 900 Colombian dollars we're re-
quired to purchase 81 worth OF goods
in the United States. 1t was feared
that the rate would go even higher
this summer, for there was over ST.
600, 900 worth OF this paper money
a6oat, and it was expected that $780,
000, 900 more would be issued immedi-
ately to pay war expenses. The forsign
debt OF 1886 amounted to $l2, ZOO, 900,
on which the interest rate was FIRST 219,
and then three per cent, but this in
terest has not been paid for several
years. 1t was the general opinion, ac-
eording to the report, that the Colom-
bian government could not pay ita
debts, and apprehension was expressed
as to what might happen in case the
foreign creditors pushed for a final set
tlement Of their claims.
