So widely do the fashions vary this
season that the peculiar style of every
individual woman may be shown at its
best if she knows how to adopt them;
and if it is true (as a recently pub
lished paper affirms) that women were
never so beautiful as now, it may be
attributed to the fact that dressing
was never so individual as now, for
all must admit that dress plays no
small part in modern women's beauty.

Peace Now Reigns.

After warnings for more than hun.
dred years, in which time thousands
of lives have been sacrificed and the
greater portion of the Washoe and
Piute Indian tribes wiped out. peace
has been declared between those tribes.
This arrangement was brought about
by Capt Pete. head chief of the Washoe
tribe. and Capt. Dave. head chief Of the
Pluto tribe. They met in Reno. Nevada,
and through Johnny Kay, Capt. Dawes
lieutenant, the two old warriors shook
hands and for an hour or more over
the pipe of peace discussed the plans
that led to the ending of hostilities.
Now they are planning a big peace
dance It will take place at Sparks.
and for six days both tribes will Join
in celebrating the big event. The Piutes
once constituted one of the largest
tribes in the Northwest and the Washoe
tribe was close second.

called attention to the fact that vast
fortune was allowed annually to waste
itself throughout the West; that wa
ter supply was uselessly running to the
sea which would irrigate 20 million
acres of the most fertile desert land in
the world, and he called attention to
the fact that an irrigated west was
capable of supporting the entire pres
ent population of the United States.
1t was not in keeping with the spirit
of the times that this great oppor-

A farmer left to his eldest son one
half of his seventeen horses, to his
second son one-third and to his third
son one-ninth. The executor did not
know what to do as seventeen will not
divide evenly by neither two, three or
nine. In the afternoon neighbor

then gave one-half, or nine, to the

posure of his wrongdoing was made,
then he must have welcomed death as
happy issue out of all his trouble.
He was an old man. He had sounded
the depths and shadows of life. He
had run the gamut of human emotions.
He had felt the glorious thrills of tri-
umph and the pangs of disappointed
ambition. He had associated, the
world around, with the men who give
impetus and tongue to the uplifting
thoughts of mankind that are hurry
ing us on to civilization that will
eventually realize the poets dream of
Utopia.
What he must have suffered in his
last days-what devils peopled his
brain, what repinings of what might
have been must have depressed his
soul-who can imagine these, let alone
tell about them? Napoleon fretting
out his proud life on st. Helena never
was as unhappy as John II. Mitchell
must have been while suffering
the stings of humiliation after expos

suddenness that carried him to the
depths of despair. He told more than
one Senator who had seen him since
his trouble that he would never go to

Had there been attempt to consider
resolutions of respect for the memory
of Senator Mitchell it is likely that
there would have been objection.
There is a precedent for such action,
for when Senator Frederick, of Cali
fornia, was killed in a duel with Judge
Terry, of that State, resolutions of re-
spect were offered in the Senate. They
were opposed by Senator Foster, OF
Connecticut, and the resolutions were
referred to a committee and never
were heard from afterward.

MISS ALICE TO WED.
CONGRESSMAN NICHOLAS LONG.
WORTH, OF OHIO, THE MOST
FORTUNATE OF MEN.

ACrand White House Wedding In Mid
February-CuIminat of Romance
Believed to Have Occurred on Ocean
Voyage.
There is to be another wedding in the
White House. and society at the capt.
tai is already looking forward to what
undoubtedly will be the most brilliant
event in the history of the mansion.
1t is just about two years since Rep
resentative Nicholas Longworth, Of
Cincinnati, began to lay siege to the
heart Of the charming daughter of the
President, and his attack has been un-
RENTING. Now he has captured the
heart of Miss Alice, and will lead her
to the altar in mid-February.
Several times during the last year
Mr.. Longworth's engagement to Miss
Roosevelt was rumored, but it was
never confirmed, and the social world
began to conclude that warm friend
ship was about all that existed between
them.
Chance of Lifetime.
1t was when Miss Roosevelt deter
mined to accompany Secretary Taft's
party to the Orient that Mr.. Longworth
apparently saw his browning opportu-
nifty, and he forthwith became one of
the party. Throughout the jaunt his
attentions to the daughter of the Pres
ident were more marked than ever be
fore, for in his wooing he had the ad
vantage of being the only courtier in
the field.
Though his friends now say that
they had observed the CLINT of glori-
GUS victory in his eyes when he re-
turned from the long voyage, he never
confided his triumph to a soul, and the
first information of the engagement
did not reach society until Mrs. Roose-
welt told it to few personal friends in
the White House. Then, of course, So
ciety soon heard of it.
Will Tour Europe.
tits expected that after their mar
riage the distinguished couple will take
a leisurely trip throughout Europe
They will, of course, be certain of a
splendid reception everywhere. espe-
cially in all the capitals of the Old
World.
Miss Roosevelt has never been in
Europe, although she has had several
opportunities and invitations, notably
when she was invited by Mrs. White
law Reid when Mr.. Reid went to Eng
land as special ambassador at the cor
onation of King Edward.
In Paris, too, the Longworths are
certain of lavish entertainment, as Mr..
Longworth's sister, the Viscountess de
Chambrun, lives there.
Miss Roosevelt, who is the only child
OF the Presidents first marriage, will
be twenty-five years old in February,
and is named for her mother, Alice
Lee, of Boston, to whom the President
became engaged in his college days at
Harvard, and whom he married in
1888.
On the death of her mother, one year
after the latter's marriage. Miss Roose-

velt became the charge of her aunt,
Mrs. William S. Cowles, who was then
Miss Anna Roosevelt, and to the pres
ent day is as much the child of Mrs.
Cowles' affection as though she were
her daughter instead Of her niece.
Her Debut in Washington.
Miss Roosevelt made her debut at a
ball given in the great East Room
early in January, 1902, since which
date she has enjoyed a succession of
attentions never before offered any
American girl.
At the Worlds Fair in st. Louis,
when she was the guest of Miss Catlin.
Miss Roosevelt was admired by thou
sands who saw her, and was voted
true type of the American girl. Thou
sands followed her wherever she went,
but her demeanor did not indicate that
she was any more than plain Amer
lean. Her sweet smile completely cap
tivated the throng. and in st. Louis or
the West the Presidents daughter will
always be welcome.
Mr.. Longworth is the only son Of the
late Nicholas Longworth, one of tho
great millionaires of the West. His
mother inherited all of the estate Of his
father.
Wholesome Sort of Man.
The future son-in-law Of the Presi-
dent is an enthusiastic lover of outdoor
sports, as his splendid physical devel-
opment plainly indicates. He is an ex-

Mitchell. of Oregon. Yet there is no
body of men on earth which is a great
er stickler for ceremony governed by
precedent than is the United States
Senate. But the Mitchell case pre-
sented a unique situation. The official
recognition of the death OF a Senator
is always a solemn and affecting pro
ceeding, but even the usual funeral
rites were omitted in this instance.
The Oregon Senator had been convict
ed of grave crime against the gov
eminent. Excepting Senator Burton,
of Kansas, no other members OF the
Senate has ever had to face criminal
court trial. The Senate has expelled
members and has often exercised Its
constitutional prerogative of unseating
a Senator, but with the two exceptions
above stated, it has never been con-
fronted with such a situation as was
forced upon the public attention by
Senators from Oregon and Kansas.
The vice-President, who is the
President Of the Senate. did not ap.
point the usual committee to attend
the funeral held in Portland, Ore.
Senator Fulton, the sole representative
of Oregon left in Congress, had intend
ed presenting a brief resolution, re-
citing the death of his colleague, and
asking that the Senate adjourn as q
mark of respect, but even this was not
done. Not even was the desk which
the late Senator occupied yelled in the
heavy mourning drapery as is the GUS
tom. In word. the Senate. in sad
ness, passed over the death of its for
mer Senator as quietly and unostenta-
tiously as possible. There have been
no eulogies. His successor, appoint
ed by Governor Chamberlain, DEM
ocrat, comes to Washington from the
far Pacific slope and the sovereign
State of Oregon will again have It's
full representation in the Senate.
