The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-11-21

This is a representative government
and it is the duty of members of all
Legislative bodies from city councils
to the national congress to endeaVor
to learn the will of their constituents
and to obey it. 1t was recognition Of
this fundamental principle of demo-
cratic government that led Council
man Mexican to vote for the donation
of land to the Stubblefield home on
the request of many of the residents
of his ward. although personally he
had been opposed to the city's giving
any of its land for this purpose.
Councilman Mexican deserves the
warmest commentator for the grace
full and courteous manner in which he
yielded to the judgment of his constit-

ombia from landing troops to suppress
the insurrection, the apparent haste IN
recognizing a new government In the
nrocess of formation and other circum-
stantial evidence made it appear at
first as if the whole trouble on the
isthmus had been stirred up by ennis
saries of the United States, but more
complete information given to con-
gress and the press shows that this in
ference was erroneous.

The Hostess Wore wonderful Fish
Scale Gown.
Miss Elizabeth Tyree, leading wom-
an Of "The Earl of Pawtucket' com
pany, gave her fish dinner the other
night at her apartments in New York.
There were twelve guests.
Everything. from the miniature lake
in the middle Of the table to the won
drous fish scale gown worn by the
hostess, suggested the realm of the
mermaids, says the New York World,
The lake was inhabited by scores of
hungry goldfish and by miniature
sharks, whales and Holsters OF wood
In the mouths of the latter were pearl
pins, for which the men fished. The
souvenirs for the women were coral
ornaments. The menu was printed or
the mainsails of tiny yachts, which
flew the flag of the New York Yacht
club, in the miniature lake.
The gown worn by Miss Tyree was
of changeable green silk, covered witt
thousands Of opalescent scales. 1t Il
said to have cost $500.

which Professor Lorenz closed his ad-
dress to large audience in Vienna on
his Impressions of the United States

Ths professor was most enthusiastic
about American charity, saying: Amer

with which other people practice some
kind Of sport. 1 am convinced that if

tails in New York were inadequate the
money for a new one would have been

he told me the history of his family
how younger brother, now dead, was

boys who is not strong. Then he shook
hands again and went back to the Ven
ezuelan question.
"The novelty Of shaking hands with
so many people did not know impress.
cd me deeply. Sometimes l would be
on a train, and the engineer and FIRE
man would leave the engine, come up
and shake hands. Ladies would stop
me In the street and do So"
Professor Lorenz remarked for the
benefit Of the medical students present
that dinner at their club costs less than
it does to get ones boots cleaned in
| Chicago. He did not enjoy the delica
cies in America. During the sumptu
Gus banquets given him he often pined
he said, for the boiled beef and kraui
of home. Oysters were about the only
American dish he really cared for.
He thinks It very fine that American
students do not drink or fight, but de
vote themselves to study and sport. H'
told the Vienna doctors that in Ameri
ca nurses are treated like ladies.
DIR. Lorenz thinks Americas womeI
are remarkable for their education
cleverness and artistic taste, but h
does not think they can cook a dinner
and he infers that that may be the rea
son why they are shy when marriag

Put your heart into the search for a

the crowd who needs It. and, sooner or
later, you will find a hand outstretched
toward yours. and your soul VIII meet

shut up in their individuality as in a
citadel, Indifferent to all passers by, yet
send forth on the four winds of heaven
the melancholy cry, There are no

but only for those who seek. for those
deeply interested in the search and for
those who do not remain content TO
spin out the thread Of life in a corner

overcoat, and no woman who eats in a
public place ever wears a waist costing
less than $50, and frequently the cost
is much more, at least so says the pro-

from people who have lost an over

had garments positively ruined by a
careless waiter spilling soup or some

HELEN KELLER's PLEA.

Famous Blind Girl Urges Relief For
- Fellow UnfortunnteA.
Miss Helen Keller, known through
out the, country as the girl born deaf,
dumb and blind, who has achieved a
brilliant education, was the center Of
attraction at q hearing held in the
statehouse at Boston the other day by
the legislative committee on education,
says the New York Press. The hearing
was for the purpose Of determining the
adyisability of appointing a commits
sion to investigate the condition Of the
adult blind. Miss Keller said in part:
1T is terrible to be blind and be un-
educated, but it is worse for the blind
who have finished their education to be
idle. Their very education becomes a
burden because they cannot use it.
remember the distress of many blind
persons 1 have known who after finish
ing their education could find no means
of supporting themselves because nc
one helped them to find positions in
which they. could turn what they had
been taught to practical use.
"The greater their ambition TO dc
useful work the more cruel their disap
pointment. If this commonwealth will
establish q commission to place the
blind in positions of self support, il
will be doing three things-helping the
blind, relieving itself Of the burden OF
4aring for them and setting an exam
