EXPLAINED TO SENATE
N. AND w. TO BUILD BRIDGE
ACROSS BIG SANDY.

In the Senate today Mr.. McLaurin of
Mississippi took the floor to make a per-
sonal explanation regarding newspaper
paragraph, saying that the authorities of
Indianoa, Miss, are engaged in arresting
people for selling photographs of President
Roosevelt laid Booker Washington. Ordi-
narily, said Mr.. McLaurin, story of t--s
character would not be worth attention, but
that under the circumstances he felt he
should refer to it for the purpose of refut-
ing it, as it is entirely without foundation.
Mr.. McLaurin said that the paragraph
had grown out of a statement made in
newspaper letter written by A. G. Paxton.
ala attorney of Leland. Miss, who told of
the arrest at that point of three men who
4 said, were engaged in selling pictures
of the President and Mr.. Washington seat
ed at table together and also pictures of
obscene character. These pictures. he said.
appealed strongly to race prejudice. Sim
ilar arrests also. Mr.. McLaurin said, had
been made at Indianola, and it was found
upon the hearing of the case that a Gin
cinnati concern, engaging in publishing the
pictures in question, had many agents out
in the interest of these works.
The men were tried and some of them
sent out of the country, and Mr.. McLaurin
expressed surprise that any community
should have permitted them to be tried.
He said the penalty imposed by the law
opinion that the death penalty would not
be too severe. He added that the arrests
were not because the men were selling pho
tographs Of the President or of Mr.. Wash
ington but becausethey were selling lewd
pictures.
Mr.. Foraker Protests.
Mr.. Foraker said that he never had heard
of the Cincinnati firm mentioned as re-
sponsible for the publication Of the pic
lures.

At the outer gateway OF the temple

with the wonderful fidelity to nature

At the inner gates two gigantic stat

uplifted in an attitude suggestive OF
vengeance should any visitor misbe-
have. These are the Gods of Silence
found at the entrance to Buddhist
temples. Their threatening attitude
is to command all intending worship
ers to leave levity behind when they
cross the sacred portals. Within the

HOW THE coREANs DRESS.

1t is only the lower classes of Co.
reans whose garments are dirty. The
better class Corean wears an attire
the immaculate cleanliness Of which
is probably excelled anywhere on
earth. 1t is certainly the quaintest IN
the Orient, and as its owner invaria-
bly, swings along with a superciiious
swagger, as If he and he alone we're
the owner of the street and all ne
surveyed besides, the incongruity OF
his manly gait contrasted with his ex-
ceedingly effeminate dress is a thing
which must be seen to be thoroughly
appreciated. He is clothed in white
from head to foot, the white being
sometimes varied by cream-colored
silk, every garment being of spotless
cleanliness. He wears the baggiest OF
baggy breeches, frightened just above
the ankles. and his padded white
socks are partially inclosed In white
and black cloth sandals. He wears
In summer--a silk or grass-cloth coat
Of gauzy texture. which Is frightened
under the armpits and spreads loosely
from there downward, and. being SUI
fly laundered, sticks out in ridicu-
lous manner all round his legs like
the stnrched frock of little child. On
his head he wears hat not unlike
that formerly worn by Welsh Usher
women, only the crown is not so high.
The hat ia black and glossy, and
close inspection of that OF yang-oan
(aristocrat) showed that 1t was made
Of fine woven silk and bamboo in an
open mesh that resembled crinoline
while those worn by the less prosper
GUS are made OF horsehair. The trun-
Gated cone does not fit the head, but
perches jauntily on top of it. At its
base is a round brim about four inches
wide; the whole is Kept in place by
a black cord or band tied under the
chin. The Office of this peculiar ca
pillary attire is not acne to protect
the head from the weather. but to
form. a receptacle for an equally Gu
riuusly shaped skull cap, which in
turn contains the topknot. This hat
is worn on all occasions. both on the
street and in the house. and its gauzy
construction enables the topknot to be
plainly seen within its airy walls

THE COUNTRY BRIDE.

For the bride VINO lives in the
country nothing is prettier than a
clover wedding. II the ceremony be
performed in great orchard. or in a
grove which adjoins the house. the
effect is charming indeed. To strive
for decorations of palms and hot
house roses would be out Of taste
when all out4of-doors is trying to
make the day glad and fragrant.
The bride, in white, carries white
clovers The maids in pale green
muslin carry bouquets of pink clovers.
In the grove or orchard there will un-
doubtedly be few if any Of the fra
grant blossoms, but the fields abound
ing must yield their treasure. II the
clover Is removed with the sod and
we'll moistened it will retain it's fresh
ness for days. This will mean work
for the small boys of the family. But
the effect is beautiful.
A border of clover beds, or a mound
of clovers here and another there, or
clover sods built up about the base
of tree-all produce an artistic eff
feet.
The bride who is married out of
doors seldom wears veil.
Vocal music by choir boys or by a
mixed chorus can be made one of the
most enjoyable features of the out-of-
door wedding.
The ceremony is especially impress
sive if performed just before the set
ting of the sun.
If the grass is imperfect green
carpet can be unrolled from the door
to the place where the vows will be
spoken. Two tiny flower girls, with
chains of white and pink clovers, lead
ing the wedding party, form with the
chains an aisle. through which the
bride and her attendants pass. One
end of each long clover chain Is fast
ened to the porch rail or to the door

PORTRAIT OF EMPRESS.

The first portrait ever painted of
the Dowager Empress Thi An Of Chi
ma is now on exhibition in the Fine
Arts Building at the st. Louis Expo
sition. 1t was painted by Miss Kate
Augusta Carl, an American artist. who
has lived much abroad and whose
brother, Francis E. Carl, was chosen
as vice-commissioner to represent
China at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. 1t was while staying In Chi
ma with her brother that Miss Carl
enjoyed the unusual experience OF
meeting the dowager-empress at a re-
ception given to the women of the
foreign legations. Shortly afterward
she was invited to the imperial palace
and the arrangements completed for
the painting of the portrait. During
a number of the sittings the dowager-
empress and Miss Carl were alone ex-
cept for the empress attendants; at
other times Miss Carl sat behind a
screen and painted the empress while
the latter was engaged in receiving
the members of the legations or in
other social or administrative duties.
The portrait is a full length painting
