The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-01-07

There are timely articles in Outing on snowshoes, skating and other winter diversions, with the usual attractive illustrations. A paper by the late Leo midas Hubbard discusses Indoor Train ing for Outdoor Sports with photo graphs of different ways in which this IS done. Emerson Hough contributes sketch of Kit Carson and his adventur- ous life, and Major Henry Romeyn tells Of Long Distance Riding in the Ameri- can Army" with accounts of the many hardships endured by our soldiers when the west was an untracked wilderness. Hunting in a Malay swamp is vividiy described by Casper Whitney; it is an account Of strange adventures in strange lands. "The Middle West Dis covers Outdoors" by H..C. Chatfield- Iaylor, has many illustrations showing the leaders in this growing movement.
 The January Everybody's is no doubt the most conspicuous magazine issue of the month, or indeed of several years, on account of the new instalment of Thomas W. Lawson's notorious "Fren- zied Finance" story. Among the other features of the number are "The Expe- riences of Nursery Governess." the first paper of series by Miss Martha Bentley; "Six Weeks in Beggardom," by Theodore Waters; Sowing the Bi- ole. an account of missionary methods, and Southern Society and it's Lead ers.''
 Leslie's Monthly begins its thirtieth year with an attractive issue, present ing, among other interesting features, the first instalment of new detective story by Anna Katherine Green, enti- tied 'The Woman in the Alcove:" Grand Opera in America" by Hein. rich Conried, director of the Metropoli- tan Opera Company; Docs it Pay to be a Teaeher?" by Arthur Goodrich, and another article by the magazines editors on the series dealing with the theatrical syndicate. The stories of the number are signed by Clara E. Laugh lin, Edwin l.. Gibson, H. S. Harrison, Annie Payson Call. Holman F. Day. Henry W, Hyde, Frances B. Dilling- ham and Joseph Heating.
 The contents page of the January Smart Set is the first indication of the excellence which is to mark the maga- zine for 1905. The leading feature is the novelette,, ''The Coming of the King" by Frances Aymar Mathews. which is a most delicate mingling of light humor and touching pathos. George Barr Mo- Cutcheon, whose ''Graustark" swept him into prominence on the wave of popular favor, has written a Tong short story for, this number. "The Lau- rel Wreath" is contributed by Gustav Kobbe, and William R. Lighton is the author of breezy tale of the west, en- titled 'sClaude F'itz Maurice. Bad Man." Other excellent stories are by Emery Pottle. Rupert Hughes. Kathryn Jar bee. Edward Boltwood. Clinton Danger field, Herbert p, Ward and B. Fletcher Robinson, while in verse and humor the high standard of this magazine is more than maintained by Virginia Woodward Cloud, Carolyn Wells, Ar thur Stringer. Zona Gale and others of equal note. .s

STATEHOOD BILL IN TANGLE.
Joint Conference on Measure So Far
Without Hope.

Joint Conference on Measure So Far
Without Hope.
Washington, March 3.-Numerous
conferences on the statehood bill yes
terday again failed to bring about an
agreement by which legislation for
either one or two new states may be
had at the present session. The con-
ferees adjourned until today at II a.
m. without any proposition having
been advanced during the day that
even approaches promise Of ultimately
compromising the difficulties.
For several days the senate conferees
have been proceeding on the idea that
it might be possible to get an agree
ment for the acceptance of the house
bill for two states, with the amend
ment by Senator Foraker, making it
possible for either Arizona or New
Mexico to reject the constitution. Now
this plan has been practically aban-
doned because of opposition in both
houses.

IT IS HIS BUSY DAY
President Roosevelt Gives Up the Day
to Reception to Hundreds Of visi-
tors Who Called to Pay Their Res
poets Today.

Washington, March 3. - President
Roosevelt's final day before his formal
inauguration to the presidency is al
most a continuous reception. So great
was the pressure from the visitors up
on the presidents time the regular
semi-weekly cabinet meeting Is aban-
doned, and Roosevelt gave up as much
of his time as he possibly could spare
from executive business to greeting
and shaking hands with callers. He
said to his friends that this day of
all others his, time belongs to the peo-
ple and it afforded him genuine plea
sure to meet them and exchange with
them even transient greeting. No
formal engagements We're made that
might trench upon the presidents
time. Callers were received practically
as they appeared at the executive off,
sces all officials Of the white house CO.
operating with the president In an
effect to avoid any unnecessary con-
gestiun in the offices. The people came
from every part in the union, their
common desire being to extend heart
felt greeting with Roosevelt. British
Ambassador Durand presented to the
president today personal letter OF
congra tulation on his approaching In
auguration and beginning of the new
administration from King Edward.
