ARIZONA MAY STAY OUT.
Measure Agreed Upon by Republic
ms Provides for NOn-Partisan
Commerce Commission.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The senate
agreed to vote on the joint statehood
bill before adjournment on Tuesday,
February Z, the amendments to be
considered on that date under the ten
minute rule.
1t is by no means certain how many
new states will be admitted to the
union under the agreement reached to
vote on the joint statehood bill and
its numerous amendments on February
Z. There are prospects, however, that
Oklahoma and Indian territory will
come in as one state and that New
Mexico will come in as another. leav-
ing Arizona as a territory.
Senator Beveridge, chairman of the
committee on territories, who has
charge Of the bill, comedies that in its
present form there Is no hope for its
passage. He says that his desire now
is to give statehood to the 500, 900 peo-
ple OF Oklahoma and Indian territory
at this time and that later Arizona
and New Mexico will be admitted as
one state.

FILINGS AT THE FAIR.

1t is quite surprising how bashful a
girl isn't after she has been a bride
two or three weeks.
The masculine idea Of an intellec-
tual woman is one who Is thin as a
match and wears glasses.
During courtship < is case of sus-
pense with the girl and mostly a case
of expense with the youth.
A woman doesn't expect a man to
be honest with her in making love,
but she does want him to be enthusi-
astic about it.
A woman is generally more favorably
disposed toward platonic love before
she has given it trlal than after the
plate wears off.
When a woman IS little fiirty, 1t
is a great shock to her to find man
who will not return the ball when she
throws it to him.

rs WITH CHURCHMEN
President Roosevelt Sounds Alarm
Against Divorce Evil.
Tells Bishop DOane and Delegates
That Dangerous Feature Of
American Life In Tendency To
Race Suicide.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Right Rev.
William c. Doane, Episcopal bishop OF
Albany, and a committee of the inter-
church conference on marriage and d.
vorce, called on the president yester-
day to confer with him as to some OF
the results of their deliberations.
Bishop Doane, speaking for the COM
mittee, delivered a brief address to
President Roosevelt, to which the
president replied as follows:
Bishop Doane and Gentlemen: 1t
is a very great pleasure to me to re-
ceive you here. There Is certain
tendency to exalt the unessential in
dealing with our public questions and
public men, especially, are apt to get
their attention concentrated on ques-
tions that have an Importance, but a
wholly ephemeral Importance, COM
pared with the questions that go
straight to the root of things. Cues
lions like the tariff and the currency
are of literally no consequence whatso-
ever compared with the vital question
Of having the unit Of our social life,
the home, preserved. II is impossible
to overestimate the importance OF the
cause you represent. II the average
husband and wife fulfill their duties
toward one another and toward their
children as Christianity teaches them,
then we may rest absolutely certain
that the other questions will solve
themselves. But If we have solved
every problem in the wisest possible
way It shall profit us nothing II we
have lost our own national souls. and
we will have lost 1t If We do not have
the question of the relations of the
family put upon the proper basis. One
of the most unpleasant and dangerous
features of our American life is the d.
minishing birth rate and the loosening
of the marital ties among the old ma
tive American families. 1t goes with
out saying that for the race as for the
individual no material prosperity, no
business growth, no artistic scientific
development will count, If the race
commits suicide. Therefore. bishop, |
count myself fortunate in having the
chance to work with you in this matter
of vital Importance to the national
welfare.v
The committee, headed by Bishop
Doane, represented IL leading Protest
ant ecclesiastical bodies and before 60
ing to the white house bad unanimous
ly Endorsed the action Of the Ameri-
can Ear association in the proposed
unification of the laws regulating di-
vorce. A single exception was the ex-
clusion of section of the articles
which permits the remafriage of all
divorced persons. The unanimous
opinion of the interdenominational
conference was that only the innocent
party in divorce granted should have
the right of remarriage.

NOTED BY NATURALISTS.
:!

Birds, however wary, are curious, and
will approach strange object at the
risk Of their lives, as wild-fowl shooters
know.
Brazilian ants make little gardens In
the tree tops and sow them with pine
apple and other seeds The gardens are
found OF all sizes, some containing
single sprout and Others densely grown
ball as large as a mans head.
There are several species OF fish, rep.
tiles and insects which never sleep in
the whole Of their existence. Among
fish 1t Is positively known that pike.
salmon and goldfish never sleep at all.
also that there are several others in
the fish family that never sleep more
than few minutes month. There are
dozens of species Of flies which never in
dulge in slumber.
In the proceedings Of the Philadelphia
academy Miss A. M. Fielde records three
instances of curious traits displayed By
ants kept under observation in the
laboratory at Woods Holl. Mass. In
the first case the actions recorded
suggest something akin to hypnot-
ism, while from the third there seems
possibility that these insects may be
able to remember and recognize indi-
viduals of their own kind after sep
aration of several years.
The annelid, Podynce cirrata, is q
mean-looking worm about an inch and
q half in length of fiattened shape, blunt
at both ends, apparently covered by 4
smooth skin Of dull brown color. On
being touched it throws itself into ele-
CANT serpentine curves, and then what
appears to be the upper skin is seen to
be composed of great number of round
fiat membraneous plates or shields, ar
ranged in two rows, overlapping each
other. These, though of larger size.
are attached to the body by small
point in the center of their sides, so
that when the animal moves the edges
of the shields are lifted and reveal their
live structure sliding upon each other
In a singular fashion.

Lieut.. Gen. Sakharoff's official admis-
sion that the Russians had been COM
PEELED to retire from Sandepas on &C
count of their inability to carry a re-
doubt. II is also significant that dis
patches from Russian correspondents
at the front have again suddenly
ceased, which is regarded as an indi-
cation of the failure of the operation
and strengthens the first impression
that 1t was a demonstration under
taken to distract the people at home
from the present situation.

The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Holmes and affirmed the decision
of the court below, which was against
the packers. In his opinion Judge
Holmes admitted that some of the
charges were less specific than desir-
able, but said this was necessarily true
on account of the vast extent of the
field covered. He added that sufficient
had been shown to prove continuous
offenses and an offense OF such a ma
ture to justify the proceeding. The
opinion continues the injunction grant
ed against the packers under the Sher-
mao antitrust law by the lower
courts. The opinion was concurred in
by all the members of the court.
