 Criticism is frequently made, espec- ially by foreign visitors, that owners of apartment houses are prone to ignore everything American and select foreign names. That is not nearly so true now as it was few years ago. The fact is, | it is difficult to find name for an apartment house or hotel now that is not already in use. There are some in- stances of two or three of the same name in New York. and that invaria- bly, leads to confusion in the delivery of mails and parcels.
 American names have been pretty thoroughly worked out in. New York apartment houses" said real estate owner. ''We have every statesman from Washington to Grant; every state from Vermont to Colorado; every Indi- an tribe from Algonquin to Powhattan, and every saint on the calendar. True, Alexandria, Victoria Cambridge, Beauchamp and Blenheim are Eng fish; Barcelonia and Navarro are span- !. ish. and Lafayette and Rivoli are French. But foreign names by no means preponderate.

The New Fixings, Ships and Superb Sailor1nen.
 The Spectator has been visiting late- fly in one of our largest navy yards, and has found it a wonderfully interesting place. As an expression of Uncle Sam's character and development, it was pro- Ifoundly encouraging to a mere civilian, while also entirely different from what The expected. Of course, everybody re- alizes that the old man-ofwar, cruiser and gunboat have gone out of existence we'll nigh as completely as the triremes |of Rome or the galley of the Vikings. But the transformations of our naval progress are not fully understood until the modern navy yard opens one's eyes to them.

into the night. At the same time great preparations were going on among the young men, who the following night were to don their war paint and go to the Wichita fight at the beck and call of a tiny paIe-face woman, who had resolved to heap upon the heads Of the Wichitas evil in plenty for the hand ling she had received by one of their ambitious young braves. The day fol- lowing the camp was quiet. with only the old men and squaws appearing, and that night the greatest, and bloodiest battle known before the advent of modern methods of war was fought in the foothills of the Wichitas with wee, tiny fale-faee squaw directing every movement of the savages.
 On the morrow less than two hum dred Wiehitas, including the squaws and the old men, remained alive to hand down to their children the story of ''The Battle Of the White Squaw' asnd Jo StilweIPs body had been hurled against the rocks and he had then been burned in effigy in the homes of the Xii owas.

 build grass houses. plant fruits and Hove their homes. SShe was instrument

THE HoRos DOG spoT.

He Turned His Stubby Tail Just Enough to Put It Into the Cogs, and be-
 came Sausage Meat.
 Jack the Hobo's short-tailed terrier dog Spot stopped the work on the sub way at the Battery in front of the Barge Office for the day about o'clock yester- day afternoon, by getting mixed up in the machinery that works the dirt hoists. The rest of the afternoon was spent in picking fragments of Spot out of the eogs.
 Jack the Hobo and Spot are among the old Battery landmarks, and con- stituted one of the sights that visitors to the Battery never missed. Jack the Hobo wears a suit which people say grew on him at birth. Not even the oldest person about the place has ever seen him in any other. It was once Of brown material much resembling can vas, but time has fadded 1t to dirty yellow. Over the suit, and closed snugly about his neck, in winter and on the hottest summer days, Jack the Hobo wears an overcoat. on the inside of which still remains little of what was once fine astrakhan lining. Jack never slaves, but 1t cannot be said that he wears beard, for once in while, when the growth becomes un- comfortable. he trims his face with a knife. They tell a story about him that he came over from Germany originally, i prosperous tradesman, and when he got we'll settled, sent for his wife. She arrived, they say, without his knowing | it, and was deported. That was 40 years ago, and still he waits at the Barge Office landing, daily scanning the faces of all of the incomers that his wife may not escape him second time. When the subway work was started down town Jack went each night and gathered all the small pieces of wod ly- Ing about, which he sold to people in the neighborhood. Gradually, as the men became acquainted with him, they paid him small sums for running errands. Quite recently he became interested in the workings of the steam -hoisting en- zines, and, with the encouragement of the engineer, he learned how to handle machine himself.
 In all of these experiences Spot ffg- uAC IdiA duNiSOEy pacity. Since he has been known about the Battery, Jack has always been ac- companied by Spot, Though himself quite without regard for his cleanliness, Jack never allowed his dog to look dirty.

 The hoisting engineer was i'll yester- day, and when the whistle blew to be- gin work there was nobody to take charge of the engine The foreman was about to send for another man, when Jack asked to be allowed to run it.
 Everything went we'll until in the afternoon, when Spot came back from a lunch at one of tho street stands where he is always fed. He started into the shed in which the engine is enclosed and, while passing the moving nachi- nery, turned just enough to put his

MINNESO TA NEWS.
Increase the Penalty.


As . result Of the numerous recent
hold-ups and murders that have oc.
Cured in Minnesota the announcement
is made that one of the first bills that
will be introduced in the Minnesota
legislature in January will be an act
providing punishment of life impris-
onment for conviction, in any hold-up
case where dangerous weapon IL
used.
Such a bill is in force in Illinois and
other states will adopt similar mea'
sures this year.
Should such a bill be introduced in
the Minnesota legislature there is little
doubt but that it would pass, as there
is strong sentiment already in favor
Of some such strenuous measure. The
recent hold-ups in the vicinity of Min
neapolis have aroused the public and
anything in the way of legislation that
would have tendency to check such
brutal work would have the support
of the public.
It is stated that the bill will be in
PRODUCED by a member of the Ramsey
delegation in the house and that it will
be drawn alonfi the lines of the Hi.
nois act.

anyone, was not slow to appreciate the
fact that this expression of his was
being used by the satirists and funny
men in the public press and he trained
himself to refrain from it. Nowadays
when visitors offer their congratula-
tons and speak of the wonderful tri-
umph of. the election, Mr.. Roosevelt
smiles as broadly as ever, but says:
II am very, very happy over the re-
suit. 1t was most gratifying, most
gratifying" He carefully avoids say
ing that he is "de-lighted," as that
might convey the impression that he
regarded the result of the election as
a personal triumph, which he does not.
The president is constantly told by his
admirers that it was a personal tri-
umph, but he is more inclined to at
tribute it to vote of confidence by the
people in the principles of the party
which he represents and in the admin
istration which was started by McKin-
ley and which he has faithfully en-
deavored to carry out on the Mckinley
lines.
While the president will take the oath
of Office anew on the 18th of March next
without, he says. single pledge, polit-
ical or otherwise, to redeem, it does
not mean that he will depart from his
past political policy. He is firm be-
lever in party organization and he will
do, as he has done in the past, what
he can to strengthen the republican or
ganization In legitimate way. He pro-
poses to consult party leaders, particu-
larly senator's and congressman, on all
federal appointments, his only require
ment of them being that they present
to him high grade candidates for Office
and men who will fill federal positions
with honor and ability.

Mattson of Gustavus Aldolphus, and
President Salmon of Carleton, met in
the Office of President Northrop at the

The examination will be held at the

fifteen students of that institution
have announced that they will enter
the competition. The other colleges
are expected to increase the number ia
about twenty-five. Last year there
were only five competitors.

Gets Top Prize.

culture beat the world in cattle at the

Chicago, when Clear Lake Jute the

steer, was awarded the first and great
est prize of the exposition, that Of

Clear Lake Jute won second place,
or that of reserved grand champion,
in the same exhibit a year ago. He
was sent to the Chicago exposition by
the Minnesota institution in the hope
that he woull this year capture the
first prize. He fulfilled their expecta-
tons of all the cattle experts at the in.
stitution by first carrying off first
place in the Angus prize contest and
followed this by winning the greatest
cattle prize in the nation.
