Artificial Beauty.

London Opinion.
 Writers on topics concerning wo- mems matters would fain have us be- lieve that the present is the age of beauty. The fact is that never before have the arts of artificialty been so widely adopted among all classes as they are today.

 Before I close I want to tell you of novel bridge prize a friend of mine won the other day. It was a silver holder, something like an English toast rack, containing three red morocco books. The first was entitled "Chafing Dish Recipes;'' the second, Salads" and the third, "Fany Deserts"
 It seems to me that these could be made very valuable by the addition of the best receipes of different people well known for their good cooking. It certainly makes 8 prize much more likely to be appreciated than most of the silly things one uusually sees at card parties.

USED PADS TO MAKE HEIGHT.
Applicant for Postal Berth, Charged
with Perjury, Escapes.

The Civil Service Commission has begun
to despair of getting indictments against
parties who violate the civil service laws
The trouble is all laid at the doors Of the
grand juries. before which, IL seems, a
mighty good case must be placed before
an Indictment is returned.
A New York grand jury and one in
Hackensack. n. J., have just refused to
indict in instances where the Civil Service
Commission and the government thought
they had clear cases.
Abraham Gettinger, of New York City,
took the examination for the postal sery--
ice. Gettinger was three-Quarters Of an
inch too short. In his papers he declared
that he was of the requisite FIVE feet five.
When the physicians conducted his physi-
cal examination. one OF them discovered
that Gettinger had placed under his heels
cork pads three-quarters of an inch thick.
The pads were sent TO the Civil Service
Commission, and, with statement of the
case, were referred to the Department Of
Justice, which in turn directed the district
attorney in New York to place the case
before the grand jury. He did so, but no
Indictment was returned

The Democratic State Committee is

any more than he could those Of Com nit
teeman Roger Q. Sullivan, of Illinois
The State committee a few days age

CROWD AT COWGIRLS TRIAL
Typical Western Young Woman
Charged with shooting Rsncher.

Sheridan. WyO- Dec. Not since the
celebrated TON Horn" case has public
interest in Wyoming been so aroused as
over the outcome Of the trial of Edna
Civine. the eighteen-year-old daughter Of
the State treasurer. who answered to the
charge of ''premeditated assault with in
tent 10 commit murder"
She is charged with shooting Ben
Knighton, foreman Of her fathers Big
Red ranch. Knighton. it is said. swore
at the girl for leaving the door Of the
granary open, and she in haste pulled her
revolver and fired as she rode away. It
was not for some hours after that she
learned. it is said. that the bullet had
hit Knighton in the hip, causing q severe
wound. Miss Civine's parents and her
younger brother are here. and will remain
with her during the trial The town is
also filling up with cowboys. who are
determined that the young girl shall at
least have fair play at the trial.

father. a wealthy man Of twenty years
residence in the State and one Of its most
influential politicians. is said TO have Of
fered any amount Of money to fix the
matter up.
Every effort has been made 10 keep the
affair from the press. 1t is said Miss Ci-
vine has destroyed all her photos and
even visited the photographers and in
sisted upon the plates being destroyed in
her prese.sce. Miss Civine is a typical
Western girl she has spent the greater
part Of her life in Wyoming, and can ride
and shoot with the average WesteTner.
She attended school in Omaha and Bos-
ton, and graduated from Waterman Hall
Seminary. Chicago.

TOTAL REVENUES $26O,OOO,OOO
Largest Amount Comes from Dis
tiIIeries and Tobacco Industry.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Internal Revenue Bureau will operate
for six months OF this fiscal year under
the free alcohol act, Commissioner
Yerkes predicts that the total revenues
will aggregate s26O,OO0, ,OOO He an
nounces in his annual report that the
receipts for the year ended June 80.
were S249.102. 79S. This was an excess
of almost s15.0O0,000 over the collec-
tions for the preceding year.
The largest amount of revenue was
derived from distilled spirits, fermented
liquors, and tobacco. Dealing with
round numbers, the tax collected from
spirits reached nearly $4,000. 600; on
LIQUORS a little over 54.500. 600. and on
tobacco a little less than S4S.5O0,0 0O0.
The Commissioner says that if law
is enacted providing charge of 90
cents. a stamp 10 rectifiers or whole
sale dealers for use on packages sent
out by them. a revenue of over $3.50. 600
would be derived. He also wants a
charge of 25 cents a gallon imposed
upon all brandy withdrawn for fortili-
cation purposes. He estimates that
this would produce about 100000 per
annum.
Illinois ranks first in the payment of
taxes, with New York second, and
Indiana. Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and
Ohio following in the order named. The
smallest amounts come from Idaho,
Maine. Mississippi, Nevada, North
Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.
He reports an increase in the amount
of tobacco and snuff manufactured. and
in the production OF beer.

DEFENDS PHILIPPINE BILL.
Capt. Mcintyre Says Tariff Reform
Is Not Political Question.

The administration will wage its
fight this winter for the passage Of the
Philippine tariff bill upon the broad
ground that IT is a humanitarian and
not political question. Capt. Nc
Intyre. the acting chief Of the Bureau
Of Insular Affairs. in his annual re-
port. Just made 10 the Secretary Of
War. treats exhaustively Of the pro-
Ionged efforts that have been made for
the passage Of some legislation which
would concede lower rate of duty on
products of the Philippine Islands COM
ing into the United States than the
tariff imposed on the products Of for
eign countries.
This question has never been a poll
tiCal One.' he declares, nor has the
duration of our stay in the Philippines
any bearing on the desired legislation.
One might think, considering the result
Of past efforts to obtain this legisla
tion so earnestly desired by the Fill
pinos. that we were called upon TO
enter into some altruistic bargain. i'm
poverishing our people for the benefit
Of barbarians on the other side of the
earth. It requires very little analysis
of the measure TO show that 1t involves
no extreme altTuism.
The report urges the establishment
in the Philippines of an agricultural
bank. There are now 1S4 Filipino stu
dents being educated in the United
States under the supervision Of the
bureau.
There was an excess Of exports over
imports Of s6.117,S6S, but compared
with the previous year there was great
reduction In values-imports being less
by $5.GTT,0S4, while exports show a de-
cline of S4354S1

SEEKING TO GUST HAGERMAN
! Opposed to New Mexico's Governor.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 2.-The fight to Dust
from his position as governor of New
Mexico Herbert J. Hagerman, the richest
governor the Territory ever had. is wax
ing very bitter and threats are being
freely made of personal violence on both
sides. Territorial Republican leaders.
headed by w H Andrews. Congressional
delegate from New Mexico; Maj, w. II.
Lewellyn, and H. 0. Burson, are lead
ing the fight against the governor, while
the latter is conducting his own campaign
to retain his position
The leaders opposed 20 Hagerman de-
clare he has disorganized the Republi-
can party and by worthless reforms he
has endangered party success. They
have filed charges with the President
along these lines. and Hagerman is now
in Washington to appeal to the Presi-
dent.
He declares that II the President does
not stand by him he will force thorough
Congressional investigation of the Terri
tOrial government and as d result grave
scandal must result.
Party men throughout the Territory are
taking sides, and the feeling is becom-
ing so bitter that bloodshed may result

MCCALL BILL UP AGAIN.
Campaign Publicity Measure Will
he Passed mt Present Session.

The Mccall bill, which requires publicity
Of campaign contributions TO Congress
sional and national committees. and ex-
penditures by them. is to be pressed Wig
orously this session. The bill last ses-
sion was considered by the House Com
mittee on Election Of President. Vice
President, and Representatives in Con-
gress. Its most active advocates were
members Of the National Publicity Bill
Organization. of which Perry Belmont of
New York, is president.
The House committee failed to report
the bill. the difficulty being 10 get mem-
bers 20 agree upon the details OF meas
ure which they would be willing TO re-
port to the House. Another plausible ex-
PLANTATION was that the party leaders de
sired to postpone performance until after
the Congressional election in November
The publicity proposition. with the re-
convening of Congress- has a more hope
ful prospect II will have the same strong
backing, the renewed insistence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and the fact that the New
York publicity law, along precisely the
same lines. is operating satisfactorily.
Since the election Of November 6, the
New York press has teemed with publica-
tiOns of the contributions and expendi-
lures of campaign committees. In Al
bany County alone, the items Of cam
paign contributions and expenditures Oc-
cupied an average of two columns In the
local newspapers. The New York law
was the result Of agitation by a State
publicity organization, of which Mr. Bel
mont is the chairman.
President Gompers, Of the American
Federation of Labor, reported 70 the or
ganization the total of contributions to
his organization for the campaign. and
likewise Of expenditures. This was all
that the National Publicity Bill OTganiZa-
ton had asked of the Republican and
Dpmncrntic committees.

REVISION FIGHT COMMENCES
Massachusetts, Members to Poll
House Republicans.
They Propose an Alliance with the
Democrats to Force an Extra Ses-
sion for Tariff Debate.

The Massachusetts delegation will
institute a campaign this session for a
revision Of the tariff. Their real object
Is 10 secure an extra session.
Representative Butler Ames. an ardent
revisionist, came to Washington yester-
day with plans matured He believes
there will be an extra session, and that
tariff sentiment in the House has changed
decidedly since the recent election. The
defeat Of several "stand-pat" Congress
men. he thinks has frightened many who
were lukewarm supporters Of the Dingley
law
The Massachusetts, members expect to
parcel out the entire Republican member
ship Of the House for the purpose of
sounding every member and obtain
enough support 10 demand a caucus 10
discuss the tariff situation.
a sentiment for revisioQ is sweeping
over the country" said Representative
Ames last night. 1T originated in Massa-
chusetts and is spreading westward. The
recent elections indicate that the tariff
idea is growing stronger. Those even m
spoken enemies of revision either went
down TO defeat or their majorities were
greatly reduced.
u believe that the outlook for revision
far brighter than il was at the beginning
of the last session of Congress. There
has been much unfair criticism of the So
called 'Massa chusetts idea We were de-
rided on the floor of the House last year.
Well some of the men who laughed at US
won't be there in the Sixtieth Congress.
The Massachusetts idea is a fair and not
a selfish idea. We want revision, and
when We have named the hide and coal,
and certain other schedules we have
not meant that revision should stop there
We have simply suggested some Of the
schedules which demand attention. Every
State will have a right 10 make sUgges-
tions, and doubtless every State will come
20 the front at the proper time with them.
It do not believe that there will be the
slightest ilI-effect upon business, or the
commercial prosperity Of the country as
"A result Of an attempt AT revision by the
Republicans If the Democrats should un-
dertake il. UnquestiOnably there would De
a great mix-up-
.'WiH you not have to depend largely
upon the Democrats for support IN any
revisiOn?" he Was asked.
ITO a certain extent yes We will de-
pend upon them to get revision
started After it is started you Will see
the Republicans stand together as Of yore.
THE Massachusetts delegation is going
into this fight AT the very beginning OF the
session. We viii have several State dele
CATION caucuses to determine what TO do.
Then We shall canvass the entire House.
The outcome will be an extra session next
spring

ALASKA NEEDS JUDGES.
Millions Tied Up by Congestion of

owners of valuable mining claims have
been deprived Of the use of their property
for prolonged periods. In some instances
there has been as much as a million dol

for a decision as to the Tightful owner
