WASHINGTON BEGINNING TO STRETCH ITSELF.
Has Inst Fone Through Five Months of Unprecedented
Lethargy Some Bright Gossip and News Notes
from the National Capital

on which $3,194,795 was expended.
Mr.. Leupp's plan to organize each
tribe into stock companies is re-
ceiving consideration here. The
commissioner would incorporate each
tribe and issue stock to the individ-
ual members, thus changing the pres
ent communal status of the Indians
| to a plain and commOn-sense basis.
To prevent the Indian stockholders
/ from being swindled out of their
| stock holdings he proposes that the
secretary of the interior shall be the
perputual treasurer and transfer
, agent of every corporation formed
Surprised at Our Simplicity.
Tourists from foreign lands, used
to the dignified grandeur and i'm
pressive gloom hedging about the
residences of rulers abroad have
been astonished many times within
the last two weeks by seeing a crowd
of shouting, dusty boys running riot
in the white house yard. The lead
er of one section of this juvenile
mob, the guide always explains, is
Archie Roosevelt, son of the presi-
dent of the United States, and the
apparent riot is really a game of
football. Young Roosevelt is cap
tain of one team, which includes in
it's squad thirty boys of his own age
from the Friends School. Every af-
ternoon they practice, and occasion
ally they play regulation match
games with boys from other public
schools. The white house yard is
laid off as a gridiron, goal posts
raised, and from four to six o'clock
every afternoon, except Sunday, the
game is on. It's great fun for the
boys, and as an illustration of true
democracy it is a valuable lesson to
foreigners.
Coolies May Shovel Canal Dirt.
Indian coolies may be employed
to shovel dirt in the Panama canal,
if the recommendation of Col. Will
liam H. Michael, consul general at
Calcutta, is taken seriously. Col
Michael, in a report received here,
declares there is a growing senti-
ment among that class of labor in
favor of leaving the Orient, where
the wages average between SO and
"a a month. He says the Indian is
far better prepared to Withstand the
heat than the Chinese, is stronger,
more intelligent and is not regarded
with such prejudice in the United
States as the slant-eyed celestial.
He urges that a draft Of from 1000
to 1000 be engaged and tried. In
view of the fact that Canada is hav-
ing trouble in stemming just such
immigration, on the ground that it
is undesirable, Col. Michael's report
probably will not find favor.

Comforts on the Farm.

In the past few years the farmers
of Brown county have fitted up their
country homes with enarly every
convenience, such as bath and toilet
rooms, telephones and furnaces.
With mail delivery every day and
good roads they are even more COM
fortably situated than their city
brethren. John Leidy, a farmer liv-
ing near Robinson, has gone them
all one better by installing a COM
plete electric light plant on his place,
which lights his house, barns, cow
sheds, corn cribs and granaries. A
gasoline engine runs the dynamo for
the plant.-Kansas City Journal.

Long Tennessee Fight.

For twenty years w. L. Rawls, of
Bells, Tenn, fought nasal catarrh.
He writes: The swelling and sore
ness inside my nose was fearful, till
l began applying Bucklen's Arnica
Salve to the sore surface; this caused
the soreness and swelling to disap-
pear, never to return. Best salve

DIFFICULT TO GET NAMES.

Officers and Men.

To Complete Roster of Confederate
Officers and Men.
The compilation of the Confeder-
ate part of the roster of officers and
enlisted men of the Union and Con-
federate armies, provided for in an
act of congress in 1908, has been
found by the war department in
Washington to be a very difficult
task on account of the incomplete
ness of the confederate collection
in possession of the department.
During the year considerable
number of records of North Carolina
and Virginia confederate organiza-
tions and a few organizations from
Florida, Mississippi and Texas were
received by loan, and these were
carefully copied. During former
years the work had progressed well
from records from Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky.
In order to make the rosters as com
plete as possible data is being taken
from the union records of cOnfeder-
ate prisoners.
Up to date the whole number of
index record cards prepared from
the confederate roster is 1850, AL.

Pretty Diplomas for Butchers.

New York butchers are now re-
CURED by the union to have pretty
diplomas, with gold lettering and
blue ribbon, setting forth that they
have passed satisfactory examina-
ton and are competent to cut good
steaks and roasts. The certified
butchers will probably feel that the
gold letterings and the blue ribbons
ought to entitle them to a little ex-
ira in their charges.

SPOKE HIS MIND TO WOMEN
J. HOWARD. MOORE TALKED OF
CRUELTY TO BIRD AND BEAST.
Over-Stepped Bounds of Good Sense
Where Humanitarian's Consid-
Grafton Is Mostly Deserved.


Where Humanitarian's Consid-
Grafton Is Mostly Deserved.
The American Humane Society,
which has been holding it's sessions
in Chicago is after the fashionable
women for the "barbarity'' displayed
by them in wearing the plumage of
birds in their hats and the skins and
furs of wild animals on their per-
sons. One of the speakers named
]. Howard Moore delivered himself
of the following severe criticisms and
sentiments before an audience large
ly composed of ladies:
Nobody but a barbarian
would adorn her head with the
carcass of a bird or the heads
of grinning weasles, said Mr..
Moore. Such things appeal
only to vulgarians. Such
woman is about as attractive as
if adorned with a string of dried
skulls. She eXcites pity, for she
is a murderess.
''Furs are the most costly of
luXuries because to secure them
men must be the most con-
scienceless and inhuman. When
I think that in this day of adj
vanced education and supposed
refinement brutalities such as
are necessary to secure the furs
of these little animals are prac-
ticed / am heartily ashamed
of the race to which | belong"
The Richmond Times Dispatch
thinks this was a brutal" proceed
ing on the part of the speaker, and
turns the argument against him in
a neat way. The Times Dispatch
says that 'at the time this elegant
reformer was haranging the women
he was wearing the skin of a slaught-
cred calf on his feet; he was carry
ing in his pocket a purse made of
the skin of slaughtered kid, and
he was wearing garments made from
the wool of a slaughtered lamb. Is
he not also to be numbered among
the 'murderers? The humane socie-
ty should be careful hereafter not
to put forward an expounder of it's
doctrine the man who has a more
tender regard for the skin of wild
beast than for the feelings of a re-
fined woman
Cruelty to animals is form of
brutality so common that it is every
day looked on by the average per-
son perhaps with Indifference. The
Telegraph regards it as an excess of
refinement to make a point against
the slaughter of birds or of wild an
imals for any useful purpose, where
no prolonged cruelty is practiced.
But it is in the abuse and i'll treat
ment that faithful domestic animals
are frequently subjected to, amount
ing in many cases to brutal beating,
laceration and starvation in return
for their services, that revolts the
feelings of the conservative humani-
tartan. These domestic animals
which are subjected to mans uses
and then denied the protection they
could find in their natural wild stale
are most deserving of the humanita-
rian's deration.-Macon Tele

Small Shoes, Poor Health

Many women spoil themselves by cramping and
crushing their poor unfortunate feet into shoes too
small for them. This is really most diotic thing
to DO, as it not only causes the most intense pain
often ruins the gait entirely, but frequently brings
about if not really serious injury to the foot at any
rate such painful unpleasant and uncomfortable re-
suits as corns bunions and other pedal disfgure,
ments.
woman who persists in wearing shoes too small
for her cannot long remain in good health for she
learns to dread exercise because of the pain and diff
Guilty involved. shoe that is either too short or
too narrow is such instrument of torture that
would think no really sensible woman would ever
nave recourse to it, but every shoemaker knows that
not few fashionable women habitually undergo this
selt-imposed penance and though they are invariably
wrinkled and aged before their time, and a panied
anxious and even dsagreeabe expression becomes per-
manently fixed on their pleasant features, they
still persist in thinking the game worth the candle
and that the possession of "a pretty FOOT atones for
all the pain, discomfort and misery which are their
constant portion.
A squeezed-in foot, however, can generally be de-
tected, and, as a rule, is anything but thing of
beauty The whole shape is often altered until the
variety.

criticisms that are being poured in on it by various
Government agencies, from the President down. 1t
it understood that it for the purpose OF explain
ing its position that H. H. Rogers and James d.
Archibald visited the White House recently. The
President has refused to discuss the visit and it is
said that Mr. Rogers has been quite as secretve but
the facts are getting around which indicate that the
Standard has taken the administration bull by the
horns and made it acquainted with some information
which is not generally known.
The spirit of WEAKNESS of which the Standard
complains is more than likely to be caused by the
approaching investigation authorized by the United
States Senate, comforting additional power on the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and In this con-
nection the correspondent says: ut is constantly
being attacked the arch taker of rebates by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and especially by
Commissioner Prouty, and is soon to be laid open
to another attack by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which is asking Congress for an appropria-
ton of $l5OOOO for the purpose of uncoverng every
thing about that company as well as the anthracite
coal roads under the terms OF the Tillman-Gilespie
resolution"
The language of the Tillman- Gillespie resolution
is calculated to cause a shudder of uneasiness to
creep these trust magnates and if the investi
cation is properly conducted the reports will proba
bly, be sensational in detail The public will now be
interested in watching the tactics of the administra
tion in this matter
Exhibition of the sentiment accorded THE SUMS
effort to set Governor Broward right before the press
of the State is well shown by the following from the
Tampa Times:
"The Jacksonville Sun publishes a report of Gov
ernor Browards speech at Jacksonville, which has
been bitterly assailed by sundry newspapers and
candidy confess we see nothing in it to call for
any very emphatic denunciation. No wholesale
arragnment of the press of any State appears in it,
nothing that justfes any such lambasting as seems
to have been rendered the speaker by those offended
contemporaries. Governor Broward was not the first
choice of the Times for the position he occupies but
that is no reason why he should not be accorded
fair play and the respect due the executive of the
State We have differed with him in matters pro-
ceeding from the executive chamber but we do not
believe him to be actuated by dishonest and unpatr
otto motives He is entitled to full and complete
and impartial hearing before men differ with him
in such terms as have been employed. It is quite
possible that the method of his opponents in prevail
ing controversies helps him more than it promotes
their cause Let us carry little domestic
discussions with dignity of manner and temperance
of language-n which particulars the Governor seems
to deport himself very exceently"

DOWN SUICIDES
Curious Occupation Of Old Man Who
Died Recently in Paris.

PARIS, Nov. 22.-Pere Echivard,
one of the most curious characters OF
the Montmartre district, has just died.
The old man, whose humble occupa-
ton was that of street porter and
messenger, was known far and wide
by the sobriquet of "The Cutter" not
because he was in any way connected
with the tailoring trade, but because
none understood better than he how
to cut down person who had COM
mitted suicide by hanging. No one ex-
actly knew how and where he had ac-
quired his training, but his ability in
scientifically" dealing with such UNI
fortunates was undisputed and almost
proverbial. His services were con-
stantly called for by the police. When
he died he left written recommends
tons concerning an understudy Of his
fellow porter who, he wrote. was
worthy Of succeeding him. In fact
to use the old mans own words, his
friend needed only little more prac-
tice in cutting down bodies to be alb
solutely perfect.

an active part in all church work. Mrs.
Pellett was quiet woman deeply at
