Official Season Opens.

President Roosevelt's return to the white house marks the opening of the official season and already the streets are assuming livelier appearance for the legations are following the Presi- dents lead and the diplomatic corps make up an interesting feature of Washing ton life. Such of the cabinet as are not actively engaged in the campaign have returned and there is hustle about the department that indicates the presence of the superior. The approach of fall has broug 1t other Washingtonians home and the corridors of the hotels are well filled with visitors and politicians who always find something to interest them in the departments or in search of cam paign material for use on the stump.
 Washington is not an ideal summer home, but has many charms as an autumn res idence and the clubs and theatres are feeling the benefits of the season and no one can be found who l, not glad to hear that the marine ban. has resumed it's regular concerts at the white house.

Richness of the English Language.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 We scarcely appreciate what a treas tire we possess in our English tongue. The vocabulary of English has been en- riched by plunder from every land and adapted to any idea, and tongue which welcomes accessions when those are nec- essary. It is not by it's intrinsic virtue, however that the English is spreading ana is becoming the cosmopolitan medium of communication but rather by the in- creaslng importance of the people that speak English. The British and the Amer jeans control a large portion of. the worlds trade. Their influence is felt everywhere. They sell to everybody and everybody wishes to sell to them. Yer fly, the English language has come for ward since the time when Bacon. des- pairing of the perpetuity of the English tongue, translated some of his works into Latin.

STORIES FROM NEW YORK.
The Monoce Now Worn by Women.
 All For a Kitten.

From the New York Sun
 A dreadful thing has mapped. The mon- oele for women has become reality. So far as is known there Is only one of 'em yet, but Heaven only knows what may come of it.
 The wearer looked like an American in English clothes, and she made a sem sation when she appeared on Broadway pn Saturday afternoon after the matinee
 Her monocle was an elaborate affair not the plain glass kind dear to Clyde Fitch and seen in the pictures of the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain and his son Austen, but a glass with a heavily chased silver rim, from which dangled n long silver chain passing around the Wearer's neck.
 The woman wore a loose-fitting three quarter coat of gray cloth, and walked with a stride She didn't seem to care that nine out of every ten persons she passed turned to get a second look at her eye gear; in fact, she appeared to enjoy the attention she attracted.
 One woman observer offered q ray of hope. "It may be smart" said she, "but really I doubt if many women in New York will wear monocles."
 A maltese kitten with blue ribbon around its neck was run over by truck In Amsterdam avenue the other after noon. Of course, people stood around to sec A fashionably dressed woman got off trolley ear and edged to the front. Without regard for her spotless taffeta skirt she knelt on the pavement and clasped the maimed kitten to her white silk waist
 Wont someone get it some brandy?" she asked.
 A man sprinted for the nearest saloon and brought some.
 Tt cant live" announced the woman finally, her eyes filled with tears some one find a policeman to shoot it."
 Many men tried and failed 1t was nbout relief time, so no cop was visible.
 The woman called cab and drove with the kitten to the police station. The ser geant sent one of the reserves back with her to the cab. The reserve cop suggest ed chloroform, and they drove to drug store. When they got there the kitten was dead.

ENGLISH ROYAL ASSENT
 IS A QUAINT CEREMONY
BY VIM. HITLER.

silently raise their cooked hats three times Midway along the floor is the clerks table, the chief clerk and his deputy standing at either side attired in kings counsel wig and silk gown. The chief clerk is commanded by the chan cellor to read the royal commission. He obeys and is then told to give the royal assent in the usual form and in the usual words One by one the titles to the va rious bills are read by the deputy clerk and as each title is pronounced both functionaries bow low to the commis- sioners then to the speaker and finally to the commissioners. As the chief clerk bows to the speakers he utters the words in old Norman French, "Le Roi, le veulte" (he wish of the lSing).
 When it is a measure or supply, how ever, providing funds for governmental rurpos es, the clerk uses a sentence. also in French, the equivalent of which is "The King thanks his good subjects and accepts their benevolence, which Is also lis wish" This quaint word formula is gone through with every bill As there are usually about fifty measures to be disposed of on such occasions it will at once be seen what a carnival of cere- monious genuhexion takes place-three bows to each act of parliament, or total of 15O for each individual engaged in the ordeal No wonder that before the end IS reached the clefkS seem u lIlne warm especially in summer underneath their thickly woven wIgs, which they frequently adjust as they bow low to their sovereign's representatives.
 The ceremonial being at an end the commissioners once more give triple salute by raising their hats to the speak CT, who similarly acknowledges t-ae cour- tesy and returns to the house of com mons. Having reached the chair he makes a brief statement to the effect that the royal assent has been given to certain measures, after which the mem- Der hose speech was interrupted by the entrance of Black Rod is at liberty to resume. The whole ceremony in the house lords takes fifteen to thirty min utes, according to the number of bills to be dealt with.
 While to the average American it may seem as it really Is a useless .mummery and waste of time, vet 1t is doubtful whether any member of either house would like to see the quaint old custom abolished. The ceremony IS not in har- mony with modern ideas, for it fritters away a good deal of valuable legislative time in the course of a session but it is a unique and picturesque relic from cen teuries gone by Certain 1t is however, that the veto power of the English mon archy is now merely a constitutional fic- ton, never again to be exercised.
