DEMOCRATS Hope
| FOR NEXT House,
-~
AGREEMENT MAY BE TO MAKE
WILLIAMS SPEAKER.
GRIGGs NAY WIN COUNTRY.
Tariff viii Come in For Changes,
and Champ Clark Wants to
Frame the ELL.
GRIaGS NAY WIN COUNTRY.

The coming campaign for control of
the House will be a very important
one.
The Democrats strongly hope to
elect the next Speaker, and one OF the
incidents to the probable selection OF
Griggs as leader is intimatsd to be an
understanding that there shall be no
opposition to Williams for Speaker in
such event. Talk has brought the
names Of De Armond and Clark Of
Missouri into this consideration, but
there is the best authority for saying
neither will oppose Mr.. Williams.
'sChamp Clark wants TO be chairman
Of the Committee on Ways and Means
when Democratic tariff bill is to be
made. He thinks this is the field Of
real opportunity" explained Demo-
cratic friend of the Missourian.
IA bill that he would frame, 1t is
needless to say, would be pretty radi-
cal in Its leanings toward free trade
relations; 1T would especially aim at
Topping of the tariff benefits that
serve as the breastworks Of 50 many
monopolies.
TARIFF ONCE AGAIN.
That the tariff issue has been kept
very much In the shadow this session
OF Congress rs not at all disoouraging
to the managing politicians among the
Democrats. They calculate that
nothing else had a chance OF getting
attention so long as the rate issue was
pending. But that will soon be out
Of the way, and it will be disposed Of
without apparently very much improv-
ind the status Of the Republicans.
Such men as Champ Clark and other
far-sighted politicians, 1t is explained,
feel that the credit OF heading the COM
mittee that makes the next tariff bill
is likely to be worth as much, for pol
itical capital, as was the same position
when Mckinley held IL, and made bim-
self President by it. The Clark tariff
bill, drawn with a view TO looping on
the shelters to monopoly, would be de-
feated In Republican Senate. That
would come right on the eve Of "
Presidential contest.
PRESIDENTIAL CHANCE.
Naturally, the country would turn
to the man who had made this measure
and he would suddenly loom up as the
strong man for compromise, within
his party between the Hearst Bryan
and the conservative elements. Here
would at last be presented an issue on
which they could all get together; and
the man. In Champ Clark, would be
big enough for the emergency.
This is the process OF reasoning by
by which Democratic prophets forecast
their political future. With Roose-
velt out Of 1t, they are not able to
see any other man who gives promise
Of strength enough to hold the Re-
publican masses together. There
will be representatives Of the extreme
wing, like Root, and Of the
Western wing, like Cummins and La
Toilette; and compromise between
them seems difficult to contemplate.
The tariff revision issue win bring
back to the Democratic fold many
who since 1896 have seldom voted the
party ticket; and Republicans as well
as Democrats admit the seriousness Of
the outlook.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT Yl[lO
Very Little Damage Done Around Mil
ton and Freewater, Says
Charles Worth.

"The prospects for a good yield OF
fruit in the Milton and F'reewater Sec
lions are exceedingly bright" said
Charles Worth, of the real estate firm
of Worth & Lamb, this morning. II
made a trip through the fruit belt
around Milton and Freewater yester-
day and found that the recent cold
weather did not do as much damage as
was first reported. 1 made a personal
inspection of many of the orchards and
l was surprised to see how the trees
were budding out. 1t is true that the
early peaches were killed, but there
will be a good yield of Seeding
peaches. The cherry trees are just be-
ginning to bud and the crop promises
to be large. There will also be quite a
good yield of apples. All over the flats
near Freewater the strawberry plants
are blooming and the growers feel as
sured that they will have good
crop"

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, L. l., April
11.-Some months ago Miss Esther
Marvin took course OF training as a
nurse and when she had passed her
examination, she was asked to look
after Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Rhodes,
of Hampstead, whom she had known
from childhood. Both were over sew
enty-five years old and very sick and
feeble. She nursed them night and
day and seldom left the house. She
expected only a small reimbursement,
but was dumbfounded when by the
terms of their will, which was recently
filed for probate, she received bonds
and property worth nearly $4,000.
Since then all sorts of propositions and
means for investing her fortune have
been made to her, from stalking a
mining scheme to promoting a COM

She has also received scores of letters

William e. Hoffman Was Released
From Penitentiary Today by
Order of Governor Mead.

Governor Mead has granted parole
to William E. Hoffman, sentenced in
Spokane county. on March 2, 1904, to

by Judge w. E. Richardson, who tried
and sentenced the prisoner; by Leroy
Waller, chief of police of Spokane;
George Stocker. justice of the peace, on
the ground that the prisoner is less
than 20 years of age and that his con-
duct in the penitentiary and the facts
of the crime indicate that he is not a
hardened criminal; that he gives evil
dence of reformation and is a worthy
subject for the exercise of the parole
law. The parole also was recommend
ed by H. T. Jones of the board of con-
troll, who, at the instance of the gov
ernor, personally investigated the case.

COIOrS and Sunlight

Here is an interesting experiment. to
test the permanency and popularity
of colors used on stamps
Let the collector prepare a page of
common stamps of different countries
and of various colors, FASTING a small
ap Of Opaque paper by the side Of each
stamp so that it will cover about half
of it and may be turned back like a
door so that a view of the whole may
be obtained. Place this sheet in a
frame or under a pane Of glass and
expose in direct sunlight for several
weeks, examining and noting the
changes every few days.
The changes that will take place are
surprising. The flap Of Opaque paper
will protect the portion of the stamp
that it covers and the observer will
thus be enabled to compare the
changed shade with that of the orig
inal color.
You will gain much practical knowl-
edge by personally trying this expert
ment. For those who are unable to 81

Some reds will fade away entirely.
Others will turn to various shades Of
brown and gray-brown. Certain dense
reds turn to orange or pioneered.
Dark blues usually retain their color
very well. Light blue changes to
gray or fade away entirely. Violets
and puppies often change to grays and
browns. Lilacs and lavenders show
decided range of shades. A few re-
tain their colors but the majority fade
to different pink, blue and gray tints,
others fading out to white.
Greens as a rule, maintain their COL

change to blue or grey.
Because of the wide range of shades
in browns, the changes brought about
by sunlight are numerous. Chocolate.
purple-brown and other dark shades
usually turn to gray-brown and black.
Light browns fade to lighter shades
and to orange
These are some of the changes to be
noted in a few of the cOlors. The
origin Of the pigment or pigments
composing the color, determine It's
