WORSHIP OF ANCESTORS.
Women of America in Particular Are
Much Given to Adulation
of Heroes.

Ancestors who have played war
rior's part are naturally the American
womanS first aim. II the strain
stretches across the water and she can
connect herself with great European
families, so much the better. If not,
and she can still find an ancestor
among the first settlers, she is salts
fed. says one American Lady in
London Telegraph. If she can find one
among the early colonists she is de-
lighted.
In any event American women have
all determined to have ancestors of
some kind of their very own. That
the world may acknowledge their sue
cess along this line they organize in
Vulnerable societies based on the pos
session of similar ancestral qualifica-
tions by the members, and having no
other object than the perpetuation of
the names and deeds Of their fOrebears.
1t is needless to say that the more all
embracing these organizations are the
more popular they are, and whereas the
Daughters of the Cincinnati and the
Daughters of the Revolution, which ad-
nit only descendants in the direct line
II,
are small and not very f1ourishing or
CARNATIONS, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which admits
the descendants of the privates as well
as the officers, is a very large and
very popular society, not that it counts
itself any less select than the Danes
or the Cincinnati daughters-not a bit
of it,
All these societies have branches all
over the United States and may be said
to embrace practically all of the Ameri-
cans whose blood has been unmixed
with that Of foreigners for several gen
erations. There are ancestral societies
which take in almost every one whose
family lived in the United States so
years ago.
But the American woman yearns for
reality. She wants ancestors, and she
wants them more abundantly, but she
wants them to have had more than
names and crests. She longs for them
to have had old silver and old lace and
old mahogany and old portraits 1t
isn't only that these articles furnish
so nicely, but they make ones grand
parents seem so awfully real. Conse-
quently the women of the United
States aren't merely engaged in their
ancestral labors in digging in old tones
and musty documents. They are also
very busily collecting from all the out
of-the-way little towns and farm
houses where colonial and revolution
airy relics are in hiding the rare old
things which in some instances were
their grandfather's and in others could
have been their grandfather's if that
old gentleman had only thought to &C
quire them. The American drawing
room is full of these ancestral relics
which give such satisfying solidity to
ancestral claims.

THE SENATE.

The Senate Saturday passed the cur
rent expense bill, incidentally putting
back into it the item of $4,000 for the
expense of defending the County Act,
which had been stricken out by the
| WAYS and Means Committee, and which
| the Senate declined to consider on the
| second reading of the bill. The strug-
| gle over this item was about the only
| interesting thing in the session, and
| incidentally the appropriation was so
hedged about that there is small
chance that the grafters will get it,
after all.
The grafters, however, were on
hand early to get it if they could. One
of the attorneys who wants to defend
the County Act, for pay, was on hand
before the Senate was called to order,
and Lane introduced the $4,000 item at
once after the bill had been read for
the third time And, as on Friday,
Palmer Woods, Democrat from Hawaii,
seconded it. Really there is no reason
to complain of modesty in the matter.
Senator Dowsett got the floor, first,
to speak on the item. He had cut it
out of the original bill, as chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee.
81 have had some light on this item, -
he said, 'fand see that my friend
Stewart has been here before me. L
am informed that the object of this
appropriation is to fight for the bill in
the Supreme Court of the United
States, the attorneys being willing to
do all the work on the bill in the
courts of the Territory for nothing,
and if that is the case / shall vote for
the item. The talk of graft is non
sense. None of this money will be paid
for fighting the bill through the Ter
ritorial courts.
The item, by the way, is placed in
the funds at the disposition of the At
torney General.
eff the case is as stated by Sena-
tor Dowsett,' said Senator Hayselden,
81 would move an amendment that the
fund shall only be available for the
pay of attorneys to fight the case in
the Supreme Court of the United
States
81 accept the amendment" said

When the session opened, the House
returned Senate Bill No 6, the de-

as to add about $4,000 to the amount

SMALL POTATO LAWYERS.

81 move to amend,' said Achi, ''by
placing the item in the incidental fund
Of the Attorney General s department,
and making the sum $4,000. There is
no use in sending lawyers to the main
land from here to do this work. We
can better get lawyers there, and for
less money. These lawyers here talk
Il good deal, but they are pretty small
potatoes when they get to Washington.
[ favor the employment of attorneys
Already there.
Hay sel,len spoke in favor of his own
amendment, appropriating money for
a specific purpose and not giving 1t to
the Attorney General for disposition
among his incidentals, but seemed will
ing to come down to $4,000.
cit is fact said Achi, ct that we
can get better lawyers for the purpose
ON the mainland, men who know the
practice there better than our lawyers
do. There is our own former Attorney
General, Mr.. Dole, now practicing IN
Washington. l believe we could get
him to do the work for $500 or $1,000. -
''Why,'' said Dowsett, ''the entire
amount need not be spent because it
is appropriated. The thing is in the
discretion of the Attorney General. -
L DeileNe lHdJ lHeTe are DtiteT law
yers on the mainland,' said Lane,
- but / do not know that We can get
them cheaper. But, anyway, there is
no graft
Then Dickey moved to amend by
putting the amount at $4,000, with a
specific provision that the money should
only be spent for the defense of the
County Act on the mainland. Lane
raised the point of order that his orig
inaf motion had already been amended
twice, but the President put the Aehi
amendment, which was lost. The vote
then required on the Hayselden amend
ment, appropriating $4,000 to be used
specifically for the defense of the
County Act in TIE Supreme Court of
the Unit ! States, AMI this carried on
show of hands: eight to FIVE.

From certain evidences given in the
House of Representatives on Saturday
morning, it seemed that even Coelho
of Maui had recanted. After practical
ly everyone else had cut down items of
the loan appropriation to a state bor-
dering on reason, Coelho made a wild
tumble to get over the fence, back into
the fold. He actually moved to cut
off a few of the items which went to
make up the overdraft" for the
County of Maui.
The result of the days work was,
practically, the end of the committing
of the bin on second reading.
There are the formal enabling
clauses to be considered today ana
there are always possibilities of recon
sideration of particular items, but the

the bill and it will probably pass as
amended.
