A Question OF Title.

A Western politician, new to the
ways of Washington, tells of an
amusing incident in connection with
his hunt for lodgings when first he
came TO the national capital.
II approached the head OF a fine
place in swell quarter" said he.
This lady--an elderly lady of ter
rible and aggressive refinement OF
manner-met me at the door. Awed
to nervous degree by her excess of
manner, about, all could gasp out
was:
"Would II be inconvenient to let
me an apartment in your establish
nient. Mrs, Blank2"
'At this the elderly person stiff

then delivered to me this crushing re-
buke; Miss Blank. sir! Miss--from

Shaved the Statue.

Near the entrance of beautiful Oak
Hill Cemetery, Georgetown, where
reposes the dust of James G. Blaine,
Edward M. Stanton and other great
Americans, stands a fine statue of
John Howard Payne, author of
Home. Sweet Home" The bringing
homs of the remains of this famous
American, who died at his post in
Africa generations ago, when he was
serving there ~ United States Con-
sui, was the occasion of a great, ma
tional function more than twenty
years ago.
The late William Corcoran, the
Washington banker and philanthropy
ist. betrayed all of the expenses and
also paid for the monument and
statue of Payne which mark his rest
ing place In Oak Hill. The sculptor
who executed the life size statue had
palmed off on him as a picture of
John Howard Payne the photograph
of man whose face was completely
covered with a luxuriant growth of
whiskers. Accordingly he faithfully
reproduced the whiskers in marble.
Soon after the statue was set up in
Oak Hill 1t WIS discovered that John
Howard Payne had never worn a
beard.
The sculptor, enraged and un-
daunted, proceeded forthwith to
chisel the whiskcrs off OF the marble
image OF the immortal author of
Home, Sweet Home" so that to-day
the visitor to Georgetown's heroic
old cemetery holds the classic face
in marble of John Howard Payne
sans whiskers except for mustache.

Many Uses For the Bison.

Preserving the bison on sentiment
al ground is sufficient reason for the
more Intelligent of our people, but
sentimental ground is not at all suffi-
cient to the average American mind.
And it is, therefore, with wisdom
that Mr.. Baynes has sought to extend
the appeal which the bison has for
many different kinds Of people. For
example, last summer he took up the
question of buffalo wool. A small
quantity was obtained Just as it was
shed by the animals, was carded at
factory and later spun and knitted
into gloves which proved very warm
and, so far as could be judged from
few months wear. durable as we'll.
Samples of this wool and yarn have
been submitted to manufacturers,
who all agree that the wool is of
very good quality, that for while 1t
would demand high price as a nov.
city and later a very good price for
general utility purposes where light
Colors are not required. Other men
Mr.. Baynes has found who are inter-
ested in the bison as a beef animal,
and still others who are inclined to
give ear to the voice of the society
because they believe that by crossing
the bison with certain breeds of do
nestle cattle, a valuable new breed
may in time be evolved. Indeed
some rather conservative scientific
men have expressed the opinion that
bison farms would prove profitable in
any of the States included in the ami
mails former range.-From Caspar
Whitneys "View-Point, In The Out
Magazine

Our Voices Deepen.

The primitive inhabitants OF Eu-
rope were all tencrs; their descend
ants of the present time are bari
tones, and future generations will
have semi-bass voices. The voice
has a tendency to deepen with age.
The tenor of twenty becomes the
baritone OF twenty-eight and the
bass of thirty-six. The inferior races
have higher pitched voices than the
more cultured. The negro has a
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races the fair complex
ioned man has higher voice than
his darker skinned brother. The for
mer is usually a baritone or a tenor,
the latter a contralto or bass. II is
asserted that tenors are usually OF
slender build, whereas basses are
stout. but there are too many excep-
tions to such rule for 1t to be re-
liable. The same remark applis,s to
the statement that thoughtful men
have deep-toned voices and vice
versa, The tones Of voice are per-
ceptibly higher before than after o
meal for which reason tenors are
generally careful not to sing too soon
after dinner.---Pearson' Weekly.

San FRANCIsCOS Chief Re-
MANDED TO SHERIFFS CARE.
He Must stay In Jail by Order Of tho
Judge-Mayor Pleads Press Of Work
Attorney Langdon Insists Defend
ant Appears Before Court az Would
Any Ordinary Citizen.

San Francisco-"No bail for Eugene
e. Schmitz," the convicted mayor Of
San Francisco, was the ruling made
by Judge Frank H. Dunno, in the ap-
plication made by the mayors counsel
that he be given his liberty under
bond pending sentence, which court
will pronounce on June 81.
Judge Dunno adopted as his own the
stand Of the prosecution that in the
eyes of the law the mayor Is no diff
ferent from any other prisoner on
whom jury has set the brand OF
felony.
Judge Dunno then called the sheriff
before him and said that Schmitz was
not to be allowed his liberty, but was
to be confined In jail unless upon or
ders of court.
Former Judge ]. c. Campbell, the
mayors chief counsel, made the formal
motion for the admittance Of his client
to bail on the strength of an affidavit
In which the mayor says that by rea-
son Of having been compelled to give
almost his whole time and attention to
his trial for the last four weeks, pub
lie business requiring his attention has
been delayed, and there is now large
amount of it pending and undetermin-
ed and requiring his immediate atten-
ton
schmftz AOrdinary Citizen
District Attorney Langdon, in
brief speech, opposed the motion for
bail. He said that Schmftz, convicted
of felony, appeared before court, not
as mayor Of San Francisco, but as
an ordinary citizen, and possessing no
extraordinary rights. In a counter az
! fdavit, which he read, he denied the
allegations Of the mayor as to public
matters requiring the personal atten-
ton of the mayor
Mr.: Langdon reminded the court that
as the San Francisco charter provides
that $50 long as the mayor is tenn
porarily unable to perform his duties,
a member of the board shall be chosen
president pro tenn. to act as mayor"
1t was not necessary that Schmftz
should perform any Of the duties speci-
| fed I'm his af1davft.
Mayor Schmftz sat without the be-
trayar of any emotion during these
proceedings.
