SENATOR MARTINS CASE.
denomination of Virginia Statesman
Lost Small Fortune.

Senator Martin of Virginia is out Of
pocket $11, 500 in expenditures to Sc
cure a denomination to the United
States Senate. This is more than one
third of the salary he would receive
during the whole six years of his new
term. The expenditure, it seems, was
necessary. The Senator had a popular
opponent who set a hot pace and kept
it up to the end. There was nothing
for Mr.. Martin to do but to canvass
the State from end to end and this,
with other necessary expenses, ran the
total high. This fight of Senator Mar
tin for denomination and the neces-
sary large expenditure, which is looked
upon as entirely legitimate and free
from any corruption, has aroused con
siderable comment among politicians
and prominent men at Washington, as
being an exceptional clear cut ex-
ample of present political methods and
necessities.

"Nay, more. Virginia is a State where
campaigning is rather primitive. Mon

the sections. There Is not the holding
up and bleeding of candidates at every
turn that there is in some of the more
closely contested States, so that it Is
entirely conceivable that Senator Mar

more than his entire 10000 in order to
be reelected; a man, too, OF character
and ability, who has served his State

"The men who make European and
Asiatic history to-day can never hope
to approach their royal masters, who
are in many cases mere puppets, ex-

perform such service as that of M.

right every bit of credit pertaining to
his successful work, and no one would
expect him to perform any act OF hui

ident or any n else."
The fact is, M. Witte began his act
Of humility while in this country. He
referred to the Car at all times as his
august master and while crossing the
atlantic ocean, when accorded deserved
onor for his diplomacy, was quick to
iisavow being worthy Of the least

The story of the actual performance
Of the pie machine is truly wonderful.
In fact two machines are necessary.
In the first the crust Is produced.
Instead Of pie pans, molds like waffle
irons are used to form the crust. As
the molds pass along on IN endless
chain, they move a lever at n n
which permits the pie dough to enter
the pans, shaped something like waffle
irons, and they then pass between two
sets of burners which take the place Of
the oven. OF course before the dough
Is released the irons are heated to the
proper temperature. The dough is con
tanned in a huge tank above the ma
chine, a feed pipe running down, and
by means of a piston, just enough
dough Is forced down to fill n of the
molds as it passes under the pipe.
h strokes of the piston are so regu
lated as to be timed with the arrival
OF each pan under the pipe. AS soon as
the crust is baked they are removed
by an attendant who stands at one end
of the machine. These crusts are then
arranged on a large pan which is taken
up by another attendant who places
the crusts in the second machine.
Filling by the Ton.
This is also ofthe endless chain type,
with two vast watts at n end, one of :
which contains the lemon filling and
the other the meringue. By carefully
regulated ratchets the filling and the
meringue are fed alternately. The
pies then pass on to an overhead
burner which gives the top of the
meringue a rich brown. The pie, thus
completed, is passed out from under /
he baker and is ready for disposal by n
he American pie eater. n

Expectations That He Would Fail.
The return of M. White to St. Pc
tersburg also has a special interest
because, as is fully understood in The
inner circles of the Diplomatic Corps
at Washington, his appointment as a
peace commissioner to represent the
Gar al given him not for his benefit
but was brought about by his enemies,
who expected that his failure to effect
a successful peace negotiation would
be his permanent political undoing. 1t
was M. White who opposed the war and
favored its conclusion long before peace
was arranged. He was detested by the
military party, and the intrigues of the
Russian court placed him in an In
comfortable position before the Gar.
It was argued that if he could be sent
on the impossible mission of making
peace when the entire court was con-
vinced that the attitude of Japan would
make the peace conference a failure, he
would return discredited and forced for
the first time in his career to approve
the continuance of the war, which was
desired by certain of the court digni-
taries up to the time peace was de-
clared.
Still Working for his Downfallo
Now that the good fortune and the
artful diplomacy Of NJ. White have con.
fused his enemies he is no better loved
by them than he was when they con-
spired to intrust him with a mission
they believed he could not successfully
perform. 1t is learned at Washington
that even now those same enemies are
planning future traps for the eminent
statesman who has been favored by the
god of fortune. When he appears be-
fore his august master in the ira
ditional attitude of a slave there will
be many OF his enemies to endeavor
to persuade he Car that the formal
words of self depreciation which he
must utter 70 conform to court eti-
quette are IN fact only plain truth.

Hay Fever.

From the London Chronicle
The season of hay fever is upon us. when
the most superstitious of our friends will
grow tired of invoking blessing every time
we sneeze. The custom, supposed to date
from the time when Prometheus invoked
blessing upon the figure of clay that came
to life with a sneeze, Is condemned by st.
Chrysostom and other early Christian writ
ers. Still. the victim to hay fever may con-
sole himself for the lack of a blessing by
the philosophy of the old English rhyme:
Sneeze en- Monday sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday. kiss a stranger;
Sneeze Wednesday. get letter;
Sneeze Thursday. something better;
Sneeze Friday. sneeze for sorrow;

From Resources
The story Of the Beaver, a little. old side
wheel steamer, with whose career the early
history of the Pacific northwest is very
closely associated, Is perhaps one OF the
most interesting maritime narratives OF the
past century. The prominent part she took
in the development of this great territory
has added much to her fame. but her
proudest distinction-one which renders her
of interest not merely to this country alone,
but to the whole worlds that of being the
first steam-propelied vessel to ply upon the
waters of the Pacific ocean.
