TACOMA CANDIDATE
IN THIRD PLACE

Interest in the selection of a queen
for the Labor day celebration to be
held in Seattle, is daily growing.
There are six candidates in the field
for the honoTs. AS Seattle has three
candidates it is augured by the local
union men that the votes from that
city will be divided, in which case,
Tacoma, being united in it's efforts
to elect Mss Bonnor, will stand a
good show of bringing the crown to
this city.
At O'Clock this morning the vote
for the respective candidates was
as follows.

Some Mustache History.

What is the history of the mustache?
In Greece and Rome no mustaches
were worn without boards, but in the
conquering days Of the Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under the influence of
the Romans and who wished to be rid
of the name of barbara. or wearers of
boards. attempted to shave in imitation
Of their conquerors; but, as they had
very imperfect implements for the pur-
pose and as the upper lip is VIGOROUSLY
the hardest part of the face to shave in
the case Of any n poorly skilled in the
art. they were unable to make a clean
job of it and left a quantity of hair on
the upper lip.
This mark was characteristic Of sew
eral nations on the confines Of Roman
civilization. of the Gauls in particular,
Of the Daciens and some others. The
Latin language has no word for mus
tache. This barbarous accident was
unworthy Of the honor Of a Roman
name.-Exchange.

BIG PAGEANT IN CHINA.
Thousands to Accompany Court In
Visit to TOmhs.

Thousands to Accompany Court In
Visit to TOmbs.
The Chinese court is preparing for
the largest pageant in fifteen years
when it starts for the visit to the west
ern tombs on April 5. says a special
cable dispatch from Picking to the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. There will be 5000
persons in the party, exclusive Of the
troops who will guard the eighty miles
OF railway. Yuan Shih Kai. viceroy of
the province of Chill. is supervising
the arrangements. He is also making
preparations to entertain the court for
two wee or a month at Paotingfu
and has built a palace there for the re
ception of the royal guests.
The people bitterly condemn the taxes
b a are levied on them for such pur-
poses as this. Notwithsta nding the
announcement by the throne that the
construction of a railway to connect
h tOmbs with the Luhan line was
for the purpose of reducing the cost Of
these pilgrimages. the expenditures
have been multiplied. The best Off
Gals complain bitterly of the excessive
corruption. saying 1t is impossible to
escape blackmail in one form or an
other. 1t is believed the Chinese gov
eminent has never reached a lower
state in this respect.
It is the opinion of the best posted
foreigners that the Chinese officials
are incapable; that they do not intend
to turn foreign relief in the matter of
the indemnity or Of any other advan-
tage toward the recuperation and safe
guarding of the state. and hat the
sympathy and help extended to China
on this assumption is a mistake.

It is a curious fact that with almost
every generation the dinner hour has
undergone a change, the principal meal
Of the day being eaten at different Pc
RODS, from 10 o'clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock at night. The author
Of The Pleasures of the Table" points
out that in England 400 or 500 years
ago people tool four meals-breakfast
at 7. dinner at 10. supper at 4 and liv-
cry at 8. In France In the thirteenth
century 9 in the morning was the din
ner hour; Henry VII. dined at II. In
Cromwell's time 1 o'clock had ONE to
be the fashionable hour and in Addi-
sons day 2 O'Clock, which gradually
was transformed into 4. Pope found
fault with Lady Suffolk for dining 30
late as 4. Four and 5 continued to be the
popular dining hours among the aris-
tocracy until the second decade Of the
nineteenth century, when dinner was
further postponed. from which period
it has steadily continued to encroach
upon the evening.

TO1ED WITH ELECTRICITY.

Professor Bailey said t0 Have stood
. Charge of 500 600 Volts.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Bun from Ann Arbor, Mich. says: "Pro-
fessor BENJAMIN F. Bailey in a demon
stration before his class let a 100000
volt alternating current of electricity
pass through his body. The current
that kills at Sing Sing prison is 1880
volts. Professor Bailey has robbed
electricity of it's deadly effects by Gre
ating a current which a%lternates at the
rate of 435 900 times a second
His startling experiments were per-
formed with a current from the labora-
tory genera tors of about $4,000 alter

run through two step up generators,
which Increased the rate OF alterna-
ton.
1.-TWO students were called from the
class to the front of the room. An or
binary electric light. suspended on a
two foot length of wire bare of insula-
ton. was handed to them. Each
grasped an end of the naked wire in
his bare hand, and the pair stood
swinging the light between them like
a boy and girl holding a pail. Their
other hands were connected with the
800, 900 volt current. Professor Bailey
turned the current on. and the swing
ing lamp suddenly glowed and then
lighted the darkened room.
Professor Bailey himself took hold
of the bare wires, which We're purpose
ly separated so that no current could
possibly pass except through his body.
II n of the step up transformers
had failed to work at that moment, he
would have grasped his own death
breath. but both transformers were
working. Calmly Professor Bailey de.
scrfbed his sensa tions.
""There is no sensation except a
slight feeling of warmth in my wrists.

amount of zone at that point crowds

SAVED HIS FINGER.

The Faithful Brahman Felt, How
sver. That He Had Lost Caste.
One day q Brahman accidentally
touched some unclean object with his
little finger. The Brahman thought that
now, his little snger having become In
clean. any substance which 1t would
touch would be, also rendered unclean
and thus make him an unclean man.
Seeing no other way to get out Of the
scrape he resolved to get the offending
member amputated. Forthwith he went
to a carpenter and explained to him
that unless the finger was cut OF he
1.-THE BrahmanJ was unable to take food
The carpenter tried to dissuade the
devotee and urged that an application
Of some drops of water from the sa-
cred river Gunga would make the fin
ger once more holy, but the Brahman
persisted. He said that the finger was
Of no use to him any longer and that
he would not rest until 1t was severed
As a final ecourse the carpenter re-
solved to play his awkward customer a
trick. He told the Brahman to put his
finger on an anvil and to look to the
sky while the wound was inflicted.
The Brahman did so. The carpenter
took up a Ratchet and gave the finger
a smart blow with the back Of it. This
elected a cry Of pain from b pa
tient, who at once put the finger in his
mouth to allay the agony. The carpen-
ter. laughing, explained to the Brah-
man thai the blow had missed and the
little finger was still entire; and, worst
of all, the Brahman had defiled himself
by putting the finger into his mouth.
