Fidelity to Principle

Baltimore News: Senator Gearin.
OF Oregon has given a remarkable
pool of fidelity { o principle. Recent
ly an Amendment to the state consti-
tuition was adopted providing for a
direct primary nomination of all
candidates for office including Unit
ed States senators. The democrats.
under this provision, nominated Mr..
Broune. The democrats have a ma
iority in the legislature, but the re-
pnblicans polled d majority in the
popular vote Believing that the
intent of the law was. that popular
majority should determine who shall
be senator. MIR. Gearin urges the
legislature to elect his republican
opponent in spite of the existence of
a democratic majority. This is
testifying by works. surely: and it
would not require many such luani-
festatiuns of iealty to the principle
OF popular election Of senators to
bring the agitation for that object to
a successful conclusion.

ROBBED ITALIAN
RAISES BIG
RUMPUS

D. Cossuglio, an Italian, created
some commotion at the lodging
house over the Brook saloon about
o'clock this morning and PATROL
man Pike was called in to pre-
vent him from attacking Mrs. My
ers, the housekeeper. The man is
crippled up with rheumatism and
hobbies about on crutches, but he
forgot his lameness this morning
when he aroused the house by
shouting that he had been robbed
Of $211 which he had secreted I'M
der his pillow.
During the time he has lived at
the lodging house, Mrs. Frye, the
landlady, has administered to him,
giving him medicine when he
wanted it and was in the habit of
locking his door at night, as he
feared being robbed. A few days
ago Mrs. Fry was disabled by fall
ing down stairs and engaged Mrs.
Myers to do the housekeeping.
Last night Mrs. Smith locked the
italian in his room and took the
key to the landlady. Cossuglio, it
seems, had his suspicious of Mrs
Myers, so when he awoke this
morning and found his wealth
missing he accused Mrs. Myers. He
threatened to cut her throat if she
didn't return it. The loud talking
brought the limping landlady out
of her room to try to pacify the
victim and he promptly put her to
flight by shouting that he would
burn the house down.
Then 1t was that Patrolman Pike
was called and took both the
Italian and the housekeeper to po-
lice headquarters. The housekeep-
er says that the Italian visited the
saloon downstairs before he went
to bed and also some of the other
places in the redlight district.
The police are of the opinion
that burglars got the money. be-
cause John Graham, who occupied
room 1 at the head of the stairs,
claims that early this morning ne
heard some one try his door.

BARNEY THE BITTER
IN TOWN

Barney Mullin, who sprains
fighters ankles when he hits them
atop the head and bites 'em when
he can't hit 'em, is in town from
Everett. Barney came over on
business as well as pleasure. On
August 20 he fights Johnny Grove
at Everett at 1873 pounds. People
who saw him make such a poor
showing against Kid Parker last
winter at 1876 pounds wonder how
fSe can do 1873. But the difference
in the weather makes it easy. Bar
1ey now weighs 1876 pounds and Is
strong and fast. He was mixed
up in the earthquake at Santa Rosa
and insists that brick house fell
On him. Something did, anyway,
for Barney was in the hospital for
many days as the result of blow
on the thinking dome. He won't
be convinced that it wasn't a
house that fell. otherwise he re.
fuses to stand for a knockout on
his record.
Following the Mulin-Crowe fight
at Everett Percy Cove and Bobby
Johnson will fight August 81
There's a sort of fight carnival on

SOMETHING IN THE
EXTREMITY LINE

NEW YORK, Aug. Gland now
1t is sox. Not half hose, nor even
demi-stocking, that the girls are
wearing up and down the length of
the Jersey coast. Old fashioned
Jersey, with its ancient azure col
ored laws does not know how to
cope with this new feminine fancy.
The prudes and preachers of
New Jersey are as one man against
this new lawlessness of its fem
mime bathers. Both are talking
long and loud. But thus far it has
net seemed to reach the ears of
certain maidens in half hose. At
least it has not those whose skin
is white and whose flesh Is hard
and firm. These cavort boldly
about in the surf, apparently I'M
conscious of the sensation that
scant hosiery has made.
One young woman sums up the
situation with a decided toss Of
her fair head with the interroga-
ton:
What about it? Men have gone
in without any stockings for years
and years. We are really fashion
able, il people but knew 1t. For
several years now French women
have worn silken socks summer
and winter. Perhaps they have
not bathed in them, but then
Americans are always ahead in a
few things and this time we GER
tainly are. There is nothing i'm
proper in these half stockings I'M
less you think there is. Evil be,
you know, to him who thinks
evil"

who adopted the modes of the
whites. The burial grounds, how
ever, still remain, in which are
hidden articles almost invaluable
to the modern collector of relics,
all of which are In good condition.
1t was a pathetic spectacle to
see the old squaws moaning and
weeping at the burying ground of
their ancestors which is enclosed
by picket fence, ornamented with
skulls. Their most sacred ground
had been invaded and all the val
uables of departed braves had been
stolen.
