A Long Named Horse

Amarvelously- named mare. whose
wealth Of silver-gray hair reaches a
length of eighteen feet, and sur
passes anything of the kind ever
heard of in equine history. is owned
by George o. zillgitt, of Inglewood,
CAL, who purchased her seven years
ago, when she was three years old.
At that time her name was of
ordinary length, and it was not
until year later that it began TO
grow with unusual rapidity. For
number of years this horse was used
on the zillgittfarm in North Dakota
During that time the name was kept
in net, and was seldom taken down
oftener than once a year. The
heavy plow collar rubbed against
and injured the back part of the
name, but the upper part still
remains, and trails out in gorgeous
waves OF silver when unbound from
the br61ds that are so necessary TO
keep it from getting tangled. No
one has been able to account for this
superhuity Of hair. The animal has
not been given special care. She
has been treated quite like an ordi-
nary horse, and the extraordinary
growth is simply the result Of some
strange prank of nature A month
ago Mr.. zillgitt took the horse to
California, where she is being used
in the family carriage She is the
mother of a colt that seems destined
to be even more famous than her
parent. Though only a few months
old, this colt possesses both name
and tail that reach to the ground.

A Hotel Burned

The Keystone Hotel at Lacka-

was burned with nearly allits con-
tents the evening of December S1st.
The fire originated either in the tank
room on the third story or in the
bath room directly under it and
was caused by the explosion Of a
lamp Mr.. Elston had, during the
past year, expended considerable in
improving the property and his loss
which he estimates at S12, 600 is

Though the bright planets which
have added 80 much to the evening
skies for the past few months are
now disappearing early in the west,
the winter heavens still present a
spectacle of great magnificeuce. In
Identifying the consultations which
we can now see, let US begin with
Orion, which is nearly due south at
9 O'Clock in the evening during the
middle Of the month. This splendid
constellation is familiar to almost
everyone, and need not be described
here. The line of Orion's belt,
continued downward and to the
left, points to Sirius, which can be
recogriaeu by its great brightness,
three times that of any other star
we ever see. Below it is the rest Of
CAMS Major, with several bright
second d-magnitude stars that would
be conspicuous il they were not SO
low. Some distance to the left, and
higher up, is Procyon the other cog
star, and farther on in the same
direction is Gemini, with its twin
stras Castor and Pollux.
A line from Betelgeuse-the bright
red star in Orion-through ProcyoD,
continued about as half as far again,
points out the head of Hydra, a
small but fairly conspicuous group,
Farther north and lower down is

as Praesepe, which is easily visible

Directly below Orion, and level
with Sirius, is the small constella-
ton Lepus. Still lower is Columb ba,
with one fairly bright star, which
lies about as far from Sirius on one
side as Procyon does on the other
The large region TO the right OF
these groups is occupied by the incon.
spicuous constellation Eridanus.
Orion's belt, continued upward,
points to Aldebaran, and beyond
nearly to the Pleiades. Above these
and very nearly overhead, is Auriga,
whose principal star, Capella, is the
brightest, next to Sirius, that We
can now see.
Aries is almost due west Of the
zenith, at an altitude of about 81
deg south, and west of it is Cetus
which fills most of the southwest
ern sky.
The great square of Pegasus
stands on one corner low down in
the west, and the line Of stars which
extends from it through Andromeds
and Perseus to Capella is nearly
vertical. Cygnus is just setting il
the northwest, but its brightest stai

Coolest Here Ever Known

The weather started on q regular
rampage last Saturday, when snow
fell, accompanied with a gale of
wind, TO the depth of several inches
and the mercury in thermometers
began descending toward the bulb.
This tendency became more pro-
nounced until the climax was reach
ed Tuesday morning, jar. 5, when
several Thermometers IN town regis
tered 24' below and reports from
places near by say that it went to
30 below. This is the coldest
weather ever experienced here with
in the recollection Of any inhabitant
and the coldest by far Of any record
cd. All over the country it was the
same in kind though varying some
what in degree. Railroad trains
were greatly delayed and the cold
snap was unparalleled in its general
extent and the amount Of incon-
venience and suffering it caused.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

With all the popularity and open
handed hospitality for which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is justly celebrated,
the social season in Washington was
inaugurated at the White House on
New Years Day, with as large and
as brilliant a reception as has ever
been seen within its walls. All the
officials Of the government, aud the
general public by the thousands,
crowded to pay their respects TO the
first gentleman Of the land, who
received each one graciously. Even
the weather was hultless; cloudless
sky, with the mercury marking 75
degrees, thus ignoring the official
prediction OF 'srain or snow" The
army and navy officers formed at the
war Office and marched in long
columns from the building. Among
the new diplomats present, for the
first time were the British Rmbassa-
dor and the new minister from the
infant republic Of Panama. Mrs.
Roosevelt stood by her husbands
side while the public filed past, as
glad to see and greet the common
people as the officials She was robed
in rich white satin dress, the front
breadths richly ornamented with seed
pearl embroidery. The waist, cut
square in the neck, was also en-
broidered, as were the wide shoulder
bands from which fell fluffy chiffon
angel sleeves parting at the elbow.
Pearls for ornaments. Miss Alice
Roosevelt, also in white, stood behind
her mother. The president looked
anxious and weary, but greeted each
visitor with smile and a shake of
the hands. The White House was
decked in Christmas greens, and inn
pressed one with its atmosphere Of
elegance, refinement and home-like
quality. The President and Mrs.
Roosevelt are so frank and hearty in
their welcome to all visitors that the
public is charmed with the simplicity
and sincerity of the republican court.
This example has had its influence
upon Washington society, and in no
other city can be found more demo-
cratic or hospitable hosts. After the
official reception the people hurried
away to attend the other receptions
given by cabinet, ministers, Admiral
Dewey, and other high officials. The
happy admiral surrounded himself
with thirty young ladies from naval
households, and his parlors were
thronged with men in uniform, re-
minding one Of a battle ship clearing
for action. On the same day Mrs.
Root gave her last reception; Mrs.
Cortelyou gave her first, and Mr..
Moody, secretary Of navy, being a
bachelor, gave none.
