Enos IIotchkiss, later a resident
Of the North Fork of the Gunnison

For living off the earnings of a fall
spend the next five years of his life
behind the bars at the state peniten-
tiary. Saturday Judge Warren of Spo-
kane gave Poole the limit and he is
expected to be received at the prison
this week. Poole is the second man to
be sentenced under the new law max
ing it felony to live off the earnings
of woman.
In an effort to escape a conviction
Poole and his paramOur were married
trick failed to work and jury soon
found him guilty.
ciful scoring when he was brought up
to be sentenced, saying:
Mr.. Poole, the evidence shows that
you came of a good family; that you
had the training of a good mother
The evidence also shows that you have
been a member of several civic socie-
ties. The court belongs to these So
cieties and knows the valuable lessons
they teach.
IF, after you have had the training
of a good mother and the lessons
taught you by these, civic societies, you
nave sunk so low as to quit work and
go to living off the earnings of a fall
len woman it would be useless for the
court to moraliZe.
THE sentence of the court is that
you be confined in the penitentiary at
Walla Walla for the term of five
years.

building to a height of 1877 feet. The
magnificent exterior effect is still fur
Their heightened by a series of marble
coping at various points. Above the
main entrance to the cathedral is a
statue in copper of the Savior, 20 feet
I in height, executed by the well-known
Berlin sculptor, Professor Schaper.
The interior of the cathedral is in
keeping, Of course, with it's palatial
exterior. Magnificent mural paintings
by Professor Anton Won Werner are
the chief decorative feature. Biblical
scenes representing the life of Christ
appear in the interior of the dome.
Marble statuary by the first German
sculptors is also found in profusion:
representations of Luther, Melanchton,
Zwingl and Calvin, together with
F'redesick the Wise of Saxony, Luther's
great ropal protector, Joachim H., cleo
tor of Brandesburg; Philip the Cour-
abeous Of Saxony, Albrecht of Prus-
STA and other monarchs of strong re-
ligious fervor are given places of
special prominence and honor.
Emperor William has followed the
erection of the building with the keen
est interest. The old cathedral, which
stood on the same site and was pulled
down in 1891, was 200 years old. 1t
had been the traditional resting place
of all the Hohenzollern kings, with
few exceptions, together with their
consorts and offspring. The new cathe-
dral consists of four principal parts
the church for divine service, the
crypt, which is to be a Pantheon en-
circled by chapels, a church for mar
riages and christenings and the long
porch. The memorial church in the
crypt was originally intended in due
course from the old cathedral vaults,
but the Emperor Frederick resolved
that the church should also be used as
the burial place of the nations illus
trious dead. By Emperor Williams
direction an epitaph in memory of
Bismarck has been placed at the en-
trance. The church proper covers

TEA A WEEK OLD.
The 'Real Good Old Post and Rails"
of Australia.

The "Real Good Old Post and Rails"
of Australia.
The tea drinkers of Australia rival
those of China and Japan, not, how
ever, in the quality, but in the guam
tity, consumed. The men especially
drink the beverage in large quantities
and all day long and at a strength
which would make the cue Of tea
drinking Chinanan curl. On Sunday
morning the tea drinker starts with a
clean pot and a clean record. The pot
is hung over the fire, with sufhciency
Of water in it for the days brew, and
when this is boiled he pours into it
enough Of the fragrant herb to produce
deep coffee colered liquid.
On Monday, without removing yester-
days tea leaves, he repeats the process,
on Tuesday the same, likewise on
Wednesday, and so on through the
week. Toward the close of the seven
days the pot is filled with an acrid
mash Of tea leaves, out of which the
tea is squeezed by the pressure Of a
tin cup. By this time the tea is the
color Of rusty iron, Incredibly bitter
and disagreeable to the uneducated
palate. The natives call it real good
old post and rails the simile being OBJ
viously drawn from stiff and danger
Gus jump, and regard it as having been
brought to perfection.

> BORORO INDIANS.
How the Boys of This Brazilian
Tribe Get Their Names.

now tnS DOyS Oh THIS DEdZ1110h
Tribe Get Their Names.
In an interesting article on the abo-
rhymes Of Brazil in the current South
ern Workman the method of naming
boys is thus described:
The ceremony of initiation into the
rights and privileges Of citizenship in
the Bororo tribe is interesting. The lit
tie bronze body Of the baby boy is
more or less daubed with gum or pitch
and plated with white feathers; then
early in the morning before the rising
Of the sun the family and friends and
the priest or conjurer betake them
selves to an eminence near the village.
And as the sun, the supreme power,
sweeps majestically upward from be-
hind the eastern wilderness the con-
jurer bores the lower lip Of the en-
bryo warrior with an instrument made
especially for the occasion and beauti-
fully decorated with brilliant feathers
and at the same time whispers "Piadu-
du" Cumming bird or the name of
some other animal or object that the
child is to bear. "Piadudu," softly re-
peat the family and friends in turn,
and thus Piadudu, favorite name, be-
comes the name Of the little one. They
are very jealous of their names and
will not make them known to aliens
In order to become citizen Of the tribe
a person Of alien birth would have to
reside with it for some time and be
initiated much as the child is.

LUTHERAN DENOMINATION OF
TEMPLE OF WORSHIP.
Berlin Was the Scene of a Brilliant
and Imposing Spectacle Today
Large Crowds.

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-Not in many
years has Berlin seen a more brilliant
or imposing spectacle than that pre-
scented today at the dedication of the
available members of the imperial fam
| lily, together with members of most of
the reigning families of the German
states, were present, and the Potsdam
court was in full attendance. There
were representatives of the Protestant
churches of the United States, Eng
land, Norway, Switzerland and other
countries; Populations of churches
from every part of the empire, and a
multitude of high civic and military
dignitaries.
One side of the entrance to the i'm
posing edifice was f1anked with vet
Grams and the other side with school
children. After Emperor William had
delivered an address of greeting to the
notables the architects, Professor Ju-
Illus Raschdorff and his son, made
short speeches and presented the keys.
While the assembly were entering the
cathedral the band played THE
Heavens are Helling' and the Halle
lujah hymn. On leaving, the process
sion stopped in front of the church

and thrilling effect, Zine Feste Burg
list Under Gott.''
One of the most impressive
moments of the ceremony was
when the imperial couple were
leaving the cathedral. While standing
on the topmost step the crowds out
side burst into the strains of Die
Wacht am Rhein. The well-known
strains were caught up by the thou
sands who lined the adjacent streets,
and even the deep booming of the bells
was powerless against the volume of
sound Their majesties were visibly
moved and remained standing untii
the last verse was sung.
Built above the bones and ashes of
no less than 81 of Emperor Williams
Hohenzolern ancestors the new cathe
dral may be fittingly called Germanys
Westminster Abbey The magnifi-
cent edifice, which stands in the Lust
ho
trance of the royal castle, has been
building for eleven years, the corner
stone having been laid in June, 1894,
and it represents a cost of nearly So,
100000. The emperor planned origi-
na1ly to spend $4,000 900, but the Prus-
sian legislature decided to vote only
half that amount of state funds for
the purpose.
In it's general appearance the build
bears a strong resemblance to ST.
PauPs in London, and to it's prototype,
| ST. Peters at Rome. Though it has
not the advantages of being built like
| st. PauIs on elevated ground, giving
it a position dominating the city, it
stands in a more open space near the
| Thiergarten, and, in accordance with
| the late Emperor Frederick's original
plans, is a structure of national scope
and character.
Of German white sandstone and he
role Roman architecture, the cathedral
is fitting addition to Berlin's many
| fine public structures. The dome of
the building rises to the commanding
| height of sos feet, and is surmounted
by gigantic golden crucifix 80 feet
high. Four handsome bell towers rise
