AAInIC 1Or UAEs WFSSSItuS.
For the first time in it's history the
adjustable bed, which had been stored

elius, former railroad commissioner
of Michigan, who is shortly below
seven feet in height and weighs more
than 300 pounds.
When he registered Monday after
noon Mr.. Wesselius informed the
clerk that he would require an un-
usually large bed. There was hurry
up call for the janitor, and he was
dispatched to the garnet. The sleep
ing apparatus was stretched to the
limit. The head of the bed touched
the north wall of the room and the
foot pressed against the washstand
on the opposite side.

PEEKABoo WAISTS AND GLOVES
Bar Is Placed on Them by New York
Preachers,

Following the lead of the Rev. Faith
er McNulty, the anti-vice crusader OF
OF Patterson, N. j., Manager Joseph
McNamee, the pastor of St. Theresa
Roman Catholic church, Classon ave-
nue. and Sterling place, Brooklyn, has
pl aced ban upon the ''peekaboo"
shirtwaist, and the Yvette Guilbert
style of glove, now so popular with
women.
The priest has told the women of his
parish that when they come to COM
munion they will please him if they do
not wear open work waists and gloves
that look like stockings.
Manager McNamee was moved to
act in the matter when he noticed re-
Gently the makeup of several women
who came to the altar to receive com
muniOn. The women wore waists of
the fimsiest material and long gloves
in place of sleeves. The pastor spoke
of the matter from the pulpit. Such
attire, he said, might do for the stage
but he considered it out of place in a
house of worship. He did not want to
see any of the women of his parish
come to communion wearing ''peek-a-
boo" waists and endless gloves.

The rush of work at the printery
ends as soon as the session of congress
|GIOses. when 300 night workers are di-
rded among the different departments
|of the office. In the printing division
there NAV be some crowding to find
available places for the printers, the
arrangement of the patent printing
divisions having displaced one divls-
ion and curtailed the working space
Of two others. The third division has
been removed to the sixth floor and
ousrtered with the second, while the
KEYBOARD operators of the specifca-
ton division are occupying a portion
Of the space formerly utilized by the
foreign division.
The specification division was for
nerly an important point of distribu-
ton for night workers, but the ma
chimes have eliminated the need of
large additions to that force in the
summer time.
The present consumption of ice in
the old building formerly used as the
national printery is from one and
half to two tons a day. When the
force was housed in the old plant the
amount of ice required was from five
TO six tons a day. James Wells, the
Official "iceman," has had charge of
the drinking fountains in the old
building for fifteen years.
It's understood that the surplus
volumes of government publications
stored at the capitoi and IN numerous
car barns and other warehouses will
be given an overhauling this summer
and those of value distributed through
lle superintendent of public docu-
nentS. There are 500 carloads of these
'oIumeS, it is said, the majority of
which are out-of-date official reports
and documents.

a HORsELEss FUNERAL.

The electric automobile hearse has
made it's appearance in western city
and the other day a funeral cortage
was made up entirely of auto vehicles.
An observer SAYS it was peculiar and
uncanny to see a funeral line with not
a horse in it to give it grace and dig

brings the automobile to the limit OF

MOLDING DOWN THE HIPS.

Doctor in New York.
''Trim hips are the rage now" said
the beauty doctor to the woman.
"Shall l melt yours down."
Melt them DOWN."
The man brought forth stiff mold,
kind of hip corset that laced in two
places.
A long piece of flexible tubing con-
nected the instrument with the electri-
cal apparatus at the other end of the
room.
'This mold" he said, came direct
from Paris. 1t costs $3.50, though the
material in it is not worth pair of
shoes. But it is very ingeniously con-
structed, and it works we'll. I'd guar
antee it in a week to take SIX or seven
pounds off your hips.
Heat and pressure applied IN con-
junction are the factors that do the
work-two marvellous new factors that
in local reductions exceed the widest
dreams of the past. Why, madam, II
I put this mold on you, laced it tight
and turned on the electric apparatus
the mold's heat and its pressure to-
uether would in less than an hour

BREAK THE SOLID SOUTH"
SAID SEC. TAFT In SPEECH In
NORTH CAROLINA.
Says south Has Been Kept Solid by
~

~
Spectre of Negro Denominations.
and by Racial Prejudice. /
Secretary of War Taft delivered his
speech to the North Carolina repubi-
cans on the eve of their state conyep-
ton. The local opera house was
packed to overhowing by throng
eager to hear the secretary of war,
and hundreds of persons were turned
away because of the limited size of the
hall.
The mention of Bryan's name in the
course of Secretary Taft's speech pro-
voked storm of applause.
Speaking of the political conditions
in North Carolina Secretary Taft
said:
"When your committee did me the
honor to ask me to address the repub-
lican convention of North Carolina
they advised me that the political sit
uation was such that if a proper effort
was made at the coming election it
would be possible to carry the state
for the republican party, and that in
that effort they felt they were entitled
to the sympathy and assistance of re-
publicans throughout the country.
'The appeal had convincing weight
with me, for | believe that nothing
that could happen in the politics of
this country would work greater
advantage to the country at large,
and to the south in particular, than
the breaking up of what has been
properly known as the 'solid south. "
say this in no partisan spirit, for |
am not one of those who think that
this result would necessarily increase
the probability of the continuance in
power of the republican party.
The solidity of the south, while it
has assured to the democratic party
certain number of congressman and
and certain number of electoral
votes, has in measure furnished it's
own antidote by restraing many
voters in the north who might have
left the republican party but for what
they regard as the injustice and dan
ger of southern political conditions.
THE south has been kept solid by
the spectre of negro domination, and
by stirring up racial preiudices and
arousing unfounded alarm over an
impossible return of reconstruction
days After long struggle, the
history of which / shall not repeat,
the negroes vote was made to count
for nothing in the southern states"

ONLY PlNNATED GROUSE KNOWN
Flock That Is Carefully Guarded on
Martha's Vineyard.

Massachusetts has in a cover down
on Martha's Vineyard a colony OF
eighty or more ~pinnated grouse, scien-
~tifically known as the tympanuechus
cuspido. Marvellous as it may seem,
these are said to be the only living
representatives of this species in the
entire world.
Natural history museums, taxider-
mists and students of nature have
been pursuing them for years, until
now specimens are said to be worth
anywhere from 500 to 5000 each. Re-
Gently a bill was passed in the legis-
lature putting a close time On these
birds until 1911.
The penalty for killing a pinnated
grouse or having one in ones posses
sion is $100. Hitherto the fine was
500. which was not enough to dis
courage hunting for museum speci-
mems.
DR.. Field, chairman of the Massa-
chusetts Fish and Game Association,
says: "The %pinnated grouse former
ly roamed all over the country from
Maine to Virginia and east of the Allie
gheny mountains.
'It is a most delicious food bird, but
if has been hunted to the vanishing
point. The flock at Martha's Vineyard
is the only one in the world. | intend
to put a man specially in charge to
protect it from specimen hunters."-

One OF the strangest cargoes ever
carried consisted OF several tons OF
dried flies, which arrived in London
the other day from Brazil. They are
mixed with meal and make fine food
for chickens. They bring 16 cents a
pound, and there are about sixteen
pounds to a bushel. The importers
used to get only 10 cents a pound, but
the demand has increased greatly.

Of Request.


That the proposed widening of Columbia
road Immediately east of 18th street north
west is desired by the residents and prop

the number Of letters recently received by
the Commissioners urging congressional leg

to the Commissioners this morning a reso-
luton. adopted by that association several
nights ago, which provides that the Com
missioners recommend the enactment of a
bill which is now in Congress, the terms
of which provide for the widening of this
road
The bill is known as Senate 68 and H. R.
126. 1t was introduced at the last session
but was not passed. The members of the
association make strong appeal to the
Commissioners to have this legislation put
through, as it's provisions, they declare, are

ton. but to relieve the eongested condition
existing In a section OF Columbia road i'm
