IndefensibIe in Law

that the method of securing control on
the isthmus had been "indefensible in
law and Infamous in morals" He called
attention 10 the fact that while the
oflSlna! estimate for the complete con-
struction of the canal has been Sl4S. O0O.-
OVO, there had already been expended
no less than S76500 000 OF this amount.
he said, S100O0.000 had been paid TO the
Intrisuers who. under the shadow OF
the capitol in Washington. had planned
the Panama revolution. Speaking Of
the salaries paid in the canal work. he
said that doubtless some of them were
extravaganza, but he was not prepared
TO agree that there had been an at
tempt to place these salaries on the
same basis as the salaries paid by the
large insurance companies Speaking
of these companies. he said:
They are the greatest aggregation
OF lordly thieves and unconscionable
peFjurers this age has yet developed.
They invade all fields; they traffic in
political Influence without regard TO
party lines, as a merchant with the
wares on his shelves. They have in
vaded the sanctity OF legislatures
state and national-and one of the most
humiliating circumstances connected
with the whole business is the fact that
they found q Democrat on whom they
fastened their graft at % per cent OF
the amount required TO secure the
services OF a Republican for the same
work"
Ended in q Fizzle.
Mr.. Stone recalled the policy an
nounced by the canal authorities last
spring with reference to the purchase
of foreign ships to be used in the canal
work when they could be secuRed more
expeditiously and more cheaply than
American vessels. He based his re-
marks upon extracts outlining the pol
icy taken from the Washington Post
characterizing 1t as one Of the leading
papers OF the country. The policy had
be said, met with his instant approval
but he was sorry to say that while ii
had been 'inauguTated with much
laundering it had gone out with u fiz-
gle"
He said that the policy Of coins
abroad for ships had been based OF
the theory that there We're no avail
able ships 10 be had in the United
States. and he declared that there had
been no change i'm the conditions be
tween May. when the policy was adopt
cd and July. when two ships were
bought from the Ward line at the price
Of ST 800. COO. This purchase. Mr.. Stone
contended, had been made at the price
given when two vessels of equal capa-
city could have been bought in Eng
land for $150.000
Mr.. Gallinger said that the Englisl
ships belonged TO a concern that haC
failed and were = bargain counter af

I want TO know if August Fish
ropp ever got a divorce here"
Mrs. Fishropp speedily asCertained
that August had obtained a divorce
from her Oct. Is, 1904, on the grounds
of desertiOn. Then Mrs. Fishropp
said that she had never been notified;
knew nothing of it until a few days
ago; 1t didn't look good to her; and
fury-she had been living with Mr..
F'ishropp as his wife six or eight
months after the decree had been
granted.
The Heralds Butte correspondent
wired last night that she was married
to William Young in Butte last March
and was subsequently arrested on his
complaint for bigamy; she claimed al
the time of her arrest to have been di-
vorced from Fishropp; that the big
amy charge had been dropped on the
understanding that she would depart
from Butte.
Such are the hard, unsympathetic
facts according to a special dispatch
from Butte.

This dispatch complicates matters
for in Suite she claimed to have been
separated from Fishropp, giving that

that she had been "duped," and init
mated that she would see a lawyer.

The demand in this country, and in New
York particularly, for fine linens during
the last twenty years or 20 has bounded
up and il still soaring" remarked a pro-
fessional buyer of linens who knows all
the linen markets OF the world like a book.
This is especially true of bed linen and
the finer and heavier table linens.
AT one time comparatively few New
Workers other than the swells used linen
sheets or pillow cases. whereas now most
housekeepers with whom money Is easy
wouldas soon think of buying q cotton table
cloth as a cotton sheet In that respect
as in some others. We are getting to be
quite European. In the old country to
use cotton sheets and pillow cases is praoti-
caly confession of abject poverty.

He said that women could vote in liquor license petitions and that if the letter of the law was strictly enforced Fort Smith would soon be without saloons.

Confederate Pensioners.

The complete list of pensions allowed by the Confederate Pen- sion Bureau at the meeting in August has been announced at the office of State Auditor Moore, who will begin sending out the warrants to the pensioners at once. In each instance the amount which will be paid this year will be but 51 per cent. of the amount of the pension grant ed, as the amount at the treasu- ry available for the payment of pensions is not sufficient to pay
 more than that proportion of the whole amount. The list grant
 ed this year brings the total number of pensioners in the state up to almost 1000.
 The list for Jackson county is
 small, being as follows: Henry Teague. $75; Berry Cooper, $75; w. J. Carter, $50; Mrs. Mary E. Gore, $50; Mrs. Ellen Foun- tain, $50.
