Lodge Calls on President

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who
returned late yesterday afternoon from
his European trip and was a guest of
Hill, left today for New York whence
he expected to go directly to his home
at Nahant, Mass.
my visit to the president at this
time" said Senator Lodge, was of no
significance whatever. 1t was purely q
personal VISIT
Being a member OF the senate com
mittee on foreign relations the senator
in his sojourn abroad manifested a
natural interest in the attitude of Eu-
States. He found everywhere in Great
Britain and in France evidence of a
particularly cordial feeling both in Of
ficial circles and among the people for
America and that President Roosevelt
is held by Europeans in general In high
regard.
The hope, Senator Lodge said, was
expressed everywhere that the negotia-
tions initiated by the president for
peace in the far east would be success
full but he noted that the feeling that
peace would be the outcome of tho
present conference was not optimistic.
while 1 hope most profoundly, not
only in the interest of the two belliger-
ent nations, but also in the interest of
the entire civilized world" said Sena-
tor Lodge, that treaty of peace may
be negotiated at Portsmouth, really
know nothing Of the situation. For a
week have not read the newspapers
and in my conversation with the presi-
dent we touched on the subject of the
conference only incidentally and gem
orally"

EXTRA SESSION
IS UNLIKELY
PRESIDENT P0STP0NES HIS
DECISION
DELAYS RATE LEGISLATION
Roosevelt Yields to Strong Pressure
and Decides to Make a Tour
Through Country During
the Autumn
DELAYS RATE LEGISLATION
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
OYSTER BAY, Aug. 13-Notwith-
standing the more or less definite an
nouncement which has emanated from
various sources during the last few
months, congress may not be called
into extraordinary session next No
vember. Indeed the indications are
now that no extraordinary session Will
be held this year.
This statement Is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt himself,
He has not decided definitely and will
probably not reach a determination OF
it until he shall have returned to
Washington the latter part of Septem-
ber. The chances of an extraordinary
session appear, however, to be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that
the president has received a large num-
ber of letters regarding it.
Many senators and representatives
have urged against an extra session.
They point out that practically Moth
ing will be gained by an extra session
that will begin not more than three
weeks before the opening of the regu
lar long session, and in addition 1t
would cause some inconvenience to
many members Of congress in both
branches. Taking these things into
consideration the president has re-
served definite decision of the mat
ter, the chances, as noted, being that
the session will not be called.
Rate Legislation Delayed
Last spring it was the presidents
idea to issue at the proper time call
for an extraordinary session of con-
gress to be held in October for the
purpose of enacting If possible railroad
expected that some recommendations
might be made by the president re-
garding proposed changes in the exist
ing tariff law.
The idea of an October session finally
was abandoned, and subsequently the
president made arrangements for two
weeks trip through the south begin
ming on October II. 1t was then an
nounced that the proposed extraordi-
nary session would not be held until
after the November elections.
If finally the president should decide
to call congress together, the session
will begin on the first Monday after
the November elections which will be
just three weeks before the beginning
of the regular session in December.
In this connection 1t can be said to
be not unlikely in view of the preva--
lence of yellow fever in New Orleans,
that the president may conclude to
make his trip through the south in two
sections, visiting the Atlantic coast
states in October and Louisiana, Ar
kansas and perhaps Tennessee on an
other trip to be made later. No definite
arrangements to this end have been
completed but the matter is being con-
sidered.

PROMPT PAYMENT OF TAXES.

In this issue we publish an adj
vertisement of the Town Treasurer
calling upon taxpayers to pay up
their Indebtedness for the present
year and save the five per cent
penalty.
1t has always seemed to US that
if taxes were paid promptly it
would give to the town officials
more opportunity for expending
the money in well-needed improve
ments.
The Town Council has recently
expended about $1,000 for new
pavements, and, if the taxes are
paid up promptly, there Will un-
doubtedly be further expenditures
for improvements early next year.
The election of Town officials.
which will be held in the Spring of
1906, will probably result in seve-
raj new men being elected to
municipal positions, but that will
not detract from the importance
of needed improvements.
We have heard rumors of seve-
raj names which will be presented
to the voters for membership In
the Town Council, and it seems to
us that the only idea in the minds
of the voters should be to select
men who are business men and
closely allied with the business in
terests and welfare of the commu-
nifty.
BY paying your taxes promptly
YOU will assist the members of the
Council (no matter whom they may
be- in the discharge of their duty

MOURNING CUSTOMS.

Origin OF the widows Cap and black

The customs OF mourning as prac-

seem az first sight 10 have little rela-
ton with each other or with the In
ward grief which they are supposed
10 typify. Yet by the exercise OF lit
tie patience many resemblance may
be discovered among them. The wild

the days OF ancient Egypt Egyptian
men shaved the beard and head as n
token OF mourning. The women. in
stead OF cutting or the hair. concea led
II 10y a close cap. The Romans. who
were rs race clean shaven. shaved
the head in mourning and wore n wig.
The black band on the sleeve as a
sign OF mourning comes 10 US from the
days Of chivalry. The lady tied a scarf
or napkin. as the handkerchief was
called. about the arm OF her knight

the hearse used for children Is white.
and in England the mourners ut fu.
nerals OF young unmarried persons
wear hatbands and sashes OF white.
queer English custom is that OF
decorating the black hearse horses with
long false back tails. They attract no
more notice on n street In Liverpool
than do the black nets used in this
