of our land, as gathered by a careful
writer, seem to indicate that 81 per
cent of the total number of young
men in the United States is directly

Tie OUTLOOK.

John Paul Jones. The United States
Is at last to do tardy justice to the
memory of John Paul Jones who was
the founder Of the American navy. He
was brave sailor fighter in the Revo-
luton and died and was buried in
France in the old St Louis cemetery.
Ambassador Porter has become inter-
ested in finding his body and at his
own expense has been digging in the
old cemetery to find his grave. He
has at last succeeded he believes, and
now it is hoped that the Government
will send warship to France to bring
home the remains of this illustrious
naval hero. The place of his grave was
for long time in doubt and the way
that they were able to tell that they
have the right body is as follows: The
coffin is shaped like mummy coffin,
which collins were common at that
period, widening from the feet to the
shoulders, with round top fitting
over the head. The coffin was taken
to the medical school, where Drs Capt.
tan and Papillaut, distinguished pro-
fessors Of the school of anthropology
and recognized authorities on such
Investigations, were charged with
making thorough examination for the
purpose Of Identification. To facilitate
this the ambassador furnished them
with portraits and media lions, two
busts by Houdon and authentic
descriptions of the color of the ad-
miral's hair and the measurement Of
his body. After the most minute ex-
animation, the following facts were
fully substantiated: Length of body,
five feet seven inches; the admiral's
exact height. Size and shape Of the
head agree with several peculiarities
identical With the head of the admiral
Hair dark brown, the same as the
admiral's, in places slightly gray, indl-
eating a person Of his age, As years.
The hair is long, reaching below the
shoulders, and is combed back and
gathered In a clasp at the back of the
neck. The face is clean shaved, CORES
ponding exactly with the descriptions,
portraits and busts of the admiral,
The linen is in good condition. One
article bears an initial, either 81" or
an inverted "P." The body was care
fully packed. The limbs were wrapped
in tinfoil presumably for sea trans
portation, as indicated IN letter of
the admiral's nearest friend and pail
bearer at his funeral, Colonel
Blackden, who said: Ellis body was put
In leaden coffin SO that in case the
United States, which he had SO essen
TALLY served, should claim his remains,
they might be more easily removed. !
Finding that all the internal organs
were singularly we'll preserved the
doctors made an autopsy, which
showed distinct proofs Of the disease
from which the admiral is known to
have died. The Identification was pro-
nounced complete in every particular.

Pet
One of the things


Poodies. which gives the SEN
sfble man pain is the way some rich
people spend their money over foolish
fads. One of these is the pet dog
craze. In this world where there are
thousands of poor children that want
for the common necessaries OF lite it
seems too bad that a worthless pup
has lavished upon him wealth enough
to save the lives of score of suffering
little children. Such expenditure is
neither Christian nor reasonable and
the throwing away of such sums is
one of the things that embitter the
poor against the rich. In an inter-
view recently published in the paper
Success" this is the way that the
thing is summed up:
''There are pet dogs in New York."
I insisted, "worth $1,000. There are
St Demands worth $1,000. There are
women in New York who spend 81, 900
a year on clothes for their poodles."
son clothes for their poodles?"
"Certainly; on house coats, walking
coats, busters, sweaters, coats lined
with ermine at 5000 each, automobile
coats with hoods and goggles, and each
coat fitted with a pocket for the poo
dies handkerchief of fine linen or
lace.''
~ never heard of such a thing"
"It is absolutely true. Furthermore,
these women buy for their pet dogs
boots of different colored leather to
match the coats, house boots, street
boots, etc., that lace up nearly to the.
knee and cost from S. to SO a pair,
They buy half dozen pairs at a time.
And they buy collars set with rubies,
pearls or diamonds, at several hundred
dollars each. A man who makes a
speciality of such collars told me of a
woman who imported from Paris a
complete outfit for her poodle costing
$4,000. And one lady had house
built for her dog, the exact model of
Queen Anne cottage, with rooms pa
pered and carpeted and the windows
hung with lace curtains. Every morn
ing woman calls Ia sort of dog COVER
messy to bathe and comb and curl and
perfume the little darling, and then
takes him out for walk.
He eats and drinks from silver dishes
and if he gets stomach ache special
ist is promptly summoned"
"What, dog specialist?"
'Precisely. New York has it's fash
ionable dog doctors, who get $40
visit and sleep with telephone at
their bedsides for night calls, like
regular practitioners. One lady whom
l know summoned a specialist from
New York to Newport, and kept him
there for week at 300 day, because
her poodle was aillng"

THE income of the state OF New Jersey
last year was s4,3O2,3 70 of which S3,35l,-
543, or nearly 7S per cent, came from
corporations. In his inaugural address,
Governor Stokes says other states are
competing with New Jersey for the in
corporation business, and that more hb-
eral laws must be enacted if the big in
come from this source is to be main
tanned. 1t is notorious fact that New
jerseys corporation laws are already far
too lax, and in the mad scramble for the
dollars between this and other states, it
would not be surprising if practically all
statutory control of corporations, aside
from collecting taxes should be lost. We
believe the national constitution should
be amended so as to permit Uncle Sam
to grant charters and exercise control
over large corporations doing interstate
business, just as he now has supervision
of national banks.

SOME politicians and newspapers are

divided as to whether 7. w. Atwood or
A. c. Bird will be the power behind the
throne" To us, it looks as though both
these gentlemen are glad enough of their
fat appointments not to interfere with
the functions of the executive Office
and we don't believe Governor Warner is
of the right make-up to be readily placed
in leading strings, anyway.

PRIMARY reform" talk is beginning to
be heard at Lansing, and doubtless. num-
erous bills will be introduced along that
line With the legislature solidly repub-
lican, it is not out of order at this time
to call the attention of the members to
the language of the last state republican
platform. On its declarations the cleo
ton was fought and the greatest repub.
lican victory won that the state has ever
known. The platform is binding on
every member of the present legislature
and the obligation is strengthened by
the seal of overwhelming popular APP
proval. There are some eXcitable per
sons who want the republican legislature
to enact primary law along the lines of
the democratic platform, which was re-
pudiated at the polls. Don't do it,
gentlemen, don't do it.

Interstate commerce legislation or an
extra session is claimed 10 be the ulti-
matum of President Roosevelt TO a
number of senators and representa-
tives. If that is true then there will
be legislation at this session. Look
out for quick action if the leaders be-
come convinced that the president
means business. Six years ago every
body was talking about an extra SEES
sion. President Mckinley said there
should be legislation for Cuba and the
Philippines or he would call an extra
session 1t looked as though ii was
impossible to comply with the presi-
dents wishes, but when it was found
that he meant business the required
legislation was passed. The celebrated
Plat amendment was put on the army
appropriation bill and the Spooner
amendment for the Philippines incor-
porated in the same measure. 1t would
not be at all surprising TO see an i'll
terstate commerce amendment incor-
ton bill late in the session.
Not For Alaska.
Every time the Alaska delegate bill
10 reached in the senate some senator
objects, and it promptly goes over In
fact, all measures pertaining to the
great territory are pushed aside now.
All the time that the senate has for
territories is given to the proposed
new states. Senator Dietrich of Ne
braska, who has given the subject a
great deal of attention. has introduced
a carefully prepared bill providing for
the government of Alaska, but ii comes
too late in the session to receive much
consideration. Like the delegate bill.
it contemplates holding elections in the
big district, and that is considered in
advisable in the present state of a
somewhat roaming population. The
Dietrich bill will make a good basis
for future legislation for Alaska.
A Tribute to Mann.
Representative Mann in opposing a
resolution granting the use of a public
park in Washington for the exhibition
of the American Railway Appliance
exposition said that certain people
were trying to make him change his
mind "by building a fire in his rear"
meaning that they were taking the
matter to his constituents in Chicago,
whereupon Representative Cowherd Of
Missouri remarked that if Mapn's con-

stituents knew him as well as we do
they would never have attempted to
change his views or opinions by build
ing a fire in the rear. or anywhere else
for that matter" The house appre-
ciated the remark, for Mann is not one
of those that are easily changed when
they once make up their minds.
Maddox In Despair.
Representative Maddox, who oppos-
ed the resolution, declared that when
ever railroads want anything they
can get il In this country. as they
are going to get this resolution. You
are going to turn II over to them. AS
| made the suggestion to the gentle
man when he was on the floor If Buff
falo Bill had influence enough he
would have show on this ground be-
fore this year is out" Although Mad
dox talked seriously, the house re-
fused to take it that way and laughed
at his remarks.
On Delivers Farm.
When the Fairbanks senatorial polit-
ical combination was touring the west
during the late campaign they made a
stop at Billings, Mont Some of the
residents wanted to show them what
Montana could produce and took them
to a place where there was large veg
etable display. Senator Dolliver was
invited to go along. They looked at
the mammoth pumpkins, immense tur-
nips. beets, potatoes and other prod
ucts and were duly appreeiative. Dol

thoughtful attitude, looked for time
and turned away, saying:
Eyes, they are pretty good, but down
on my farm in Iowa l grow vegetables
twice as large"
He was looked upon with amaZement
by the Montana men, and as he disap-
peared around the corner one of them
remarked:
Il don't know who he is, but I'll bet
SO he's blankety blank liar"
Names In Capitals.
The names of senator's and repre-
sentatives are printed in capitals where
they appear in the Congressional Rec
ord OF the proceedings. This is to dis
tinguish the remarks belonging to each
man. Those capitals" remarked Sen
ator Kean OF New Jersey. ''are respon-
sible for lot of talk in congress. They
look so big and bold that they fascinate
some men. and they talk often TO see
their names in capitals the next day"
The Chaplain's Confidence.
Representative Legare Of South Caro-
lima was discussing with another men,
Der the merits of the prayers of Rev.
III. n. Couden. the blind chaplain of the

sermons he breaches to us. / think
