proved all that its most en-.

were exceptionally good, the costum.

unused to appearing In the shine Of

dent and Hale In a firm and intenae
manner. declared Tillman had NO
right to vent his personal feelings
against the president In any such way
AZ he was doing. Tillman declared that
he was n0 allowing his personal feel.
Ing to enter in the subject. Owing
to his hifh regard for the senator
from Maiuo, he would listen to Hale's
reprimand without losing hts temper.
The critjcipm. which Senator TillmsM
was rehukihg related to the ejectment
Of Mrs.. Morris from the white house,
which he said was q most pitiful ex.
ample,of anything that had ever been
associated with a president. Tillman
charged that Roosevelt had been
made BY the press and that he now
sought to control the press and that
@News Pills" were administered by
Secretary Loeb. When anything was
said that the president did not like
there was great wrath At the white
house. Il was at this point that SEN
ator Hale declared his rebuke to the

How the End Came.
New York. January 1.-THE news
of the death Of Marshall Field has

An outline OF the funeral arrange

There will be no service OF any sort

funeral services In Chicago at an
early date to be fixed. either from

A sinking spell early yesterday
morning. which followed the remark,

coming OF the end. The attending
physicians first notified members Of
the family and withdrew from the
sick chamber. The message that the
end was near was conveyed also to
the members Of the Chicago colony

Lowell, Mass. Dec. 2e.--An investigation
by c. F. Richardson of the Lowell hu-

fact that Andrew Beaulieu, 3-year-old son
of Albert Beaulieu, has daily smoked
corncob pipe since he was is months old.
j When MIR. Richardson called at the
Beaulieu home with the policeman, the
infant smoker was curled up in a rocking
chair with his tiny knees crossed, and he
WAS drawing whiffs from his blackened
pipe as contentedly as an old man.

the state legislature visited the normal
ehool of this city at the invitation of
President Cook, who wished to impress
upon them the necessity for increased APP
propriatons for this institution. Those
who were present were Senator May and
Cooper of Lawrence county, Representa-
tives Shaw and Pennington of Lawrence
Jones of Custer, Stokes of Butte and
Hare of Pennington.
Attention was called to the fact that
the enrolment is larger than that of any
other similar state institution and the
facilities for handling nearly 500 students
are entirely inadequate. The appropriation
for the teaching force and other employees
is only $4,000 a year and it has been neces-
;ary to increase this to $l7,050 by using the
local fund. Several of the buildings are
also uncompleted and it would take at
least $4,000 to finish them. 1t was also
shown that numbers of students desiring
to enter had been unable to gain admit
tance because of lack of room. The Ii
prary is quite inadequate and is becoming
more congested each month by the large
additions of books. The legislators are
much impressed with the conditions and
will use all their efforts to secure in
creased appropriations for the school at
the coming session of the legislature this
winter.
