ing twenty-nine pieces of great antiqui-
ty.
Prof. Karl Harke Won Noorden, OF
Frankfort, Germany, has been appoint

A life-size bust of the Rev. DIR. George
w. Sampson, president of Columbian
College, now George Washington Uni
versity, from 1850 to 1871, has been pre-
sented to the university with ap-
propriate ceremonies. The bust is the
gift of the members of DR.. Sampson
family.
Possessing complete ancestral records
the Rev. o. S. Reed, of Veedersburg
Ind, establishes beyond all doubt the
fact of his blood relationship to George
Washington. To this pastor author is
given rare honor of being one of the
nearest living relatives to the Father
of His Country.
The claims of Cope Whitehouse, a
Washington man, to the rights from
the Egyptian Government to portion
of the Desert of Sahara, valued by Mr..
Whitehouse at $40,0OO,OOO, are being
investigated by the State Department
and are under consideration of the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations. 3.
Surgeon Genera Ta-ka-ki, of the Jap
anese navy, who is visiting this coun-
try, says that all totals of the losses
suffered by the military and naval for
ces of his country are still kept secret.
The object of this policy is to keep 9TH
er nations in ignorance of the loss in
lives and money which Japan may sus-
tain in time of war.
Two Congressman were discussing
the recent White House wedding. One
said to the other: What does the Pres
dent think of his new son-in-law?"
"Oh, he's pretty well satisfied" said
the other. "Longworth is a Harvard
man and Republican, but he has one
inexcusable defect, in the Presidents
mind; he wasn't Rough Rider"

FALSE REASONS.

One of the reasons urged by the
Democrats for making a new constitu-
ton for Virginia was the necessity for
reducing the judiciary and court ex-
penses. The present Democratic Leg
islature has created three new judicial
circuits and is preparing to make an
other one. The salaries of all the cir
cult court judges have been increased
fifty per cent, and the court expenses
instead of being reduced have been in
creased by the making of the new con-
stitution.
Another reason given for having a
new constitution was the necessity for
a reduction in the army of office-holders
in the State, and a consequent reduc-
ton in the expenses of the State Gov
eminent. Instead of the number of
officers being reduced the army has
been increased and the expenses of the
government greatly enlarged. The
Democrats have either exercised bad
Judgment or bad faith.

If Washington Could Come Back.
PHILADELPHIA Press

If Washington were to come back to-
day, what would surprise him the most?
He has been dead but little more than
a century, which is a trifing span in
the worlds history. And yet the faith
er of his country never saw a locomo-
tive nor railroad. No steamboat pass
ed his Mount Vernon home or any
other place. Electric lights had not
been dreamed of, despite Franklin's
work. Even petroleum lamps were
not in use; the first gusher had not
been struck. Mitchells talk of a coal
strike would seem queer to Washing
ton, for the anthacite fields of Pennsyl-
vania, like the gold fields of California,
were still hidden beyond the ken of
man.
Such wizard things as telephones,
telegraphs and monographs would
doubtless startle the great patriot more
than he was ever startled in a battle.
There were no overhead wires in his
day; not even an elevator. Skyscrapers
have sprung up like mushrooms only
recently.
When Washington was President he
lived in Philadelphia. His sensation OF
seeing an automobile whiz along in
Chestnut Street over a smooth pave
ment, the like of which he never dream
ed of, would be enough to shatter his
serene dignity.
Artificial ice for his mint julep, water
pumped from the great river and then
filtered for his bath, gas stove to cook
his breakfast and steam heat to warm
aristocratic home would be luxuries in
deed for the conquerer of CORVALLIS.
He knew them not. But the people
who surrounded the first President at
his primitive capital were as highly ed
ucated in most directions, fully as cul-
tured and certainly as able in states
manship as those who could gather
about him today.
Life is infinitely more complex in a
great city, but how much has the multi
plicity of material advantages in recent
times aided the human intellect? If
Washington could return, would all
these new things make him the happier,
wiser or more useful to the human race?

ARE THEY RuMMERs2

From a news item in the Richmond
Times-Dispatch we learn that 6,l35
men have paid their poll taxes in that
city and will be qualified to vote at the
approaching municipal election, pro-
vided they are duly registered. Ac-
cording to the census of 1900 there
were Ia, 945 white men Of voting age IN
Richmond that year, and there must
have been considerable increase since
then. So, only little over one-third OF
the white men of the city of Richmond
of voting age can vote at the impor-
tant municipal election.
Recently the Times-Dispatch, in an
editorial opposing repeal of the poll
tax qualifications for registering and
voting, said:
sTo abolish the payment of the poll
tax as prerequisite to voting would be
public misfortune. Itwould throw down
the bars to negroes and bummers and
demoralize the suffrage. In the name
of common sense, what is the occasion
for such a change? We have purged
the suffrage and by requiring poll taxes
TO be paid six months in advance we
have eliminated large number OF the
Objectionable voters Of both races.

Dead Singers Voice Heard At Her Own
Funeral.

The mourners who gathered today at
the funeral of Miss Minnie Nelson, a
singer, we're electrified to hear her
voice sweetly singing Nearer, My
God, to Thee" To those who knew
the dead singers voice, which was So
prano of unusual range and sweetness
of tone, it seemed as if the dead had
been restored to life. Only her rela-
tives and friends knew that the voice
had been reproduced on photograph
record, into which she sang the inspir-
ing notes few weeks ago, unconscious
that they would be lifted in worship
ping song at her own obsequies.

Beauty Under COmpulslOn

(From the New York Evening Post.)
1t is somewhat appalling news that
the standard of female beauty is declin-
ing in America. If there were one GER
titude in our shifting social order, it
was that our women were not only the
best, but also the best-looking in the
world. Change we might de willing to
admit. The big and rudy maidens who
wear sweaters and thunder down the
porches of thousand country clubs are
certainly unlike the youthful portraits
of their mothers in hoops and chignons;
but here we are told to look for prog
ress and the emancipation of woman
hood. Decline, no male American has
been so indiscreet as to admit, and as a
matter of fact the impending campaign
for the restoration of American beauty
is to be captained by one of the still
fair if decorating sex. This case must
be worse than any one had imagined,
for two authors of some repute are
making a special trip to Paris to fetch
over an apostle of the beautiful. She
is first to ascertain the present state Of
beauty in America, and next to take
such remedial measures as may be nee
essary. There is to be no trifing with
the problem. Goethe has told US to
live resolutely in the good, beautiful and
true; but it never occurred to him to in
woke the police power to that end.

THURSDAY, MARCH /, 1905.
WONDERFULLY PROSPEROUS.


continuous enlargement will make
nation happy, then the people Of the
United States ought surely to be con-
tented. At the end of each year for
the past eight years it was confidently
thought that the pinnacle of American
prosperity had been reached; but each
succeeding year has served to prove
such conclusions were erroneous. The
industrial achievements and volume OF
trade during the year 1905 have not
only proved record-breaking but pres
sage a still more astonishing result for
the year 1906, upon which we have just
entered.
Not only was the domestic trade OF
the United States in 1905 greater than
It ever was before, but we had larger
total of foreign commerce than IN any
urevious year. The astonishing tea-
lures of the export trade were de-
crease in the expectation OF oreao
stuffs and large increase in the ex-
portation of cotton and manufactured
articles. The fact is that there has
been such increased domestic consump-
ton that our surplus of wheat and
other cereals is not so large as it was
few years ago. And, though there was
a decrease in exports of agricultural
products, prices ruled high and the
farmers never did better than in 1908.
Every branch of the agricultural IN
dustry was swelled to enormous pro-
portions. The live stock breeding In
dustry was very profitable, while dairy
products and the egg and poultry bust
ness were equally as profitable. Cot
ton was truly king in 1905, the total
crop ofTtheyear aggregating 1886 'OOo
bales, with prices that made the plant
ers Independent and happy.
In every industry conditions were as
favorable as they were in agriculture in
1906. Manufacturing, mining and all
the trades reached the highest point OF
prosperity. The total yield of gold in
the world was 1915, 600, 900, and of this
amount the United States produced
$50, 900, OOO. The production OF silver
in this country amounted to $4,000, 600
fine ounces, more than one-third of the
production of the entire world.
Since 1896 the circulating medium OF
me United States has increased more
than fifty per cent, and we now have
about $92 for each man, woman and
child in our country. While there are
complaints made that the wealth OF the
country is being concentrated In the
hands of few, this is not true. There
is a greater distribution of wealth
among the people in the United States
Il.
than is found anywhere on the globe
Conditions are such that there is no
reasonable excuse for anyone in this
country, who is physically able to work
and mentally qualified, not only making
a living but to accumulate property.
Labor is regularly employed and higher
wages, especially in agriculture, are
being given than ever before.
We ought to be happy people, If al
most unlimited wealth and prosperity
are useful factors in producing true
felicity,

Easy Going Dutch Spelling

In the good old days when the Dutch
were supreme in the administration Of
the affairs of New Amsterdam every
body knew everybody else, and it mat

which the name of plaintiff is spelled
five different ways:
