TALKS ABOUT THE

While abroad the monooeist made a
study OF Scotch as she is spoken with
very good success. This is the fashion
in which he discussed Scotch humor
last evening over IL cigar:
"1f ye study both Scotch humor and

There is a growing demand for the

POPULARITY OF DUBOIS
His Defeat Causes Genuine Regret in
Washington,

The defeat of no other man in public
life could have caused more genuine
regret in a large circle of friends in
Washington, says the Washington Her
aid, than that of Senator Dubois of
Idaho. The Idaho statesman came to
Washington first as a Delegate, when
Idaho was Territory, and it was large
ly due to his popularity that Statehood
was bestowed upon the Territory. He
was then Republican, and as mem
ber of that party was sent TO the Senate
by his State. He followed Senator
Teller out of the st. Louis convention,
and has been a loyal Democrat ever
since. After lapse of one term Idaho
then sent him to Washington again as
Senator, this time as a Democrat.
Senator Dubois went to Idaho from
Illinois during the Arthur administre-
tion az United States Marshal He is
generally accounted one of the most
astute politicians in the Senate, and
wields quiet influence in that body
that is not surpassed by many Senators.
The Senate, as well as the Washington
public, will regret to say goodbye to
Senator Dubois. He will be succeeded
by William Borah, one Of the ablest
