NEGROES AT WHITE HOUSE
President Has Six coiored Guests at
Reception.

Washington, D. C.-The presence
of six negroes at the reception given
last night by President and Mrs.
Roosevelt to the judiciary caused COM
ment. Ordinarily it is not remarkable
for negroes to be present at such Off
cisl functions, as invitations are fire.
quently given to negroes connected
with the government, but none was
present at the diplomatic reception
two weeks ago, and the u was sup
pcs9d to be resentment among the ne,
groes TO the presidents course in dis
missing the negro soldiers. w. T. Yer
non, register of the treasury, who is a
large and exceptionally black negro,
was at the reception last night with
three negro women The identity OF
the other negroes present could not be
ascertained.
A secondary feature of the reception
was the large number Of school girls
there. Among those present were Mr..
and Mrs. Emlen Roosevelt, Mrs. HIGH
born L. Roosevelt and Miss Dorothy
Roosevelt of New York, who are guests
at the White House.

The States Cash.

Quite a large slice was taken out of
the amount of cash On hand in the treas
umy one day last week, when the sum of
$207, 900 was paid out to the holders
of notes for the amount borrowed by the
Governor last May. This sum was au-
thorized by chapter So, laws of 1906,
which provided that the Governor might
borrow during the year 1906, a sum not
exceeding $780, 600, and the loan was eff
fccted during the month of May, 1909,
which was made payable on or before
July /, 1906, and the sum of the amount
paid out today, principal and interest,
amounted to $2o7, 900, approximately.
There still remained in the treasury,
Utter paying out this sum, an amount OF
eash reaching the sum of over $250,000,
added to which there will be payments
by tax collectors during the present
month which will, it is believed, offset
the cash paid out today, and leave a nu-
cleus for the SS33,333.33 for the APP
preaching school fund distribution, to
which must be added the usual drafts
to meet current expenses of the State
for January. 1t is figured out that it
will require some very close financing to
keen abreast of the demands, which will
come in from month TO month, as well
as the practice of economy in the mat
ter of incidentals and contingent eX-
penses. There is still a considerable part
of the last authorized bond issue out
standing, and which may be looked to to
piece out the current cash in the treas
ury, but at best the State %financiers are
not anticipating a rosy time of it in the
immediate future.

Desperate Efforts to Save a Town,

Pittsburg, Penn.-Eight dynamite
blasts having failed to break the AL.
legheny river dam at Springdale,
where the current has already swept
away ten houses and several buildings
of the Heidenca-p mirror works. One
more attempt will be made today, and
if that fails a diver will be employed
to undertake the hazardous task of
placing a ton of dynamite directly un-
der the concrete wall of the dam
where it's explosion will be effective.
Unless the stream is quickly diverted
by breaking the dam, enormous prop
erty losses will be sustained and the
town may be swept away. The value
of buildings and machinery already
destroyed is placed at $4,000, while
ground has been dug out to a depth
of nearly 35 feet.
Dispatches received from West
Virginia points say the Ohio river is
rising rapidly.

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea Of the Sound to Be
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away, var universally respect
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with a great deal of interest:
When a very small boy he asked his
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by a tax on every property
holder. Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
of the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex-
tinguisher, and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
"Mr. Flagg got up and said, In his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator, l
make a motion that We remove the
sound from under the board"

Plow Factory Sold.

After a multitude of financial tangles
and receivers, the plant of the New
South Plow Company was sold at pubic
cutlery at Columbus and brought only
S22, 100. The history of this splendid
plant. which, it is claimed, could have
made thousands of dollars for the stock
holders if they had possessed sufficient
funds to tide over high places, is one OF
trouble from the very start.
About two years ago the company
was organized, and $31,500 in actual
cash was paid in by stockholders, and a
plant worth fully 100000 was pur-
chased. Mortgages began at the very
outset of the plants operation, n the
sale was made to satisfy an indebtedness
to a local bank in the sum of $l6,5oo,
and also a second claim for several thou
sand more to one of the largest stock
holders in the enterprise. This stock
holder purchased the plant, and it IS
understood he vii operate it from tins
date under his management.
The original stockholders do not re-
ceive a single penny from the sums they
put into the enterprise.

The rivers and harbors of Mississippi
will be recommended in the next rivers

Senator.

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin sur
prised some members of congress with
whom he was chatting the other day
by announcing that he has v taken
part in a congressional junket of any
kind. Il never shall undertake such a
journey at government expense" he
said. There is something very objec-
tionable to me in members of congress
going on such expeditions" For the
same reason that made him sidestep
a congressional junket Senator
Spooner said he had eve been
shaved in the senate barber shop,
which is maintained at Uncle Sans
expense.

IN CONGRESS
The House.

Senator Long introduced a bill, to
be offered as an amendment to the In
dian appropriation bill, authorizing r.
j. Boudinot to bring suit in the court
of claims to determine whether the
s14S,000 paid Charles Nagel's st. LOU
is law firm ought to be refunded to
the eastern Cherokees. This bill is
designed to test tn contention that
the fee should not have been paid out
of the funds of the eastern Cherokees.
Another attempt I. report the Hep
burn-Dolliver bill was defeated by a
vote of eight to Sc zen in the house
committee on judiciary. This bill
makes liquors in interstate commerce
subject to the laws of states into
which they are shipped, and has been
the basis of much controversy in the
committee for two years.
BY a rising vote of 1873 to 80, the
house adopted an amendment to the
legislative, executivs and judicial ap-
preparation bill, which was taken from
the speakers table with senate amend
ments increasing the salary OF the
vice-president, speaker and members
of the cabinet to $4,000 per year, and
those of senators and representatives,
delegates from territories and the
resident commissioner from Porto
Rico to $500 per year, the increase to
take effect March 4, 1907.
An effort was made to have a roll
call, but at one "a members arose,
which was not a sufficient number, so
the house was not forced to go on
record.

The Senate.

The senate passed the Warren bill
increasing the military corps OF the
army. The total increase, which is to
reach its maximum in five years, is
6,197 officers and men, which, with
the increases in certain salaries of
men in separate grades, such as cleo
tricians, machinists, ETC., will cost
$243,324 annually.
Senator Kittredge of South Dakota,
who lives where lumber is scarce and
who has seen how the lumber trust
controls the situation, denounced that
corporation in the senate as 1.-The most
gigantic, exacting and soulless of the
trusts that Cypress Our people"
THE lumber trust is the king OF
combinations in restraint of trade
he declared. in its ~farreaching eff
fects there is none to compare with it.
1t is remorseless in is grasp on the
people, and the only change which it
contemplates is to increase the price
of it's products at stated and frequent
intervals without regard to cost"
He said that the trust had become
so bold in its operations within the
last year or two that it had eliminated
in many localities all semblance of
competition and from a central point
controlled both the wholesale and re-
tail trade.

gate the race question, which also in

STORM STRIKES CHICAGO.
Interrupts Telegraph Service and
Ties Up Cars.

Chicago, Ill.-The storm that has
been central in the southwest for
a number of days struck Chicago
Wednesday night, beginning with
sleet and turning later to and
rain. Telegraphic service south and
west of Chicago was interrupted part
of the night.
The sleet caused delays on the ele-
waited roads, but the surface lines ex-
p~erienced but little trouble because
of the ice cutters" on the trolley.
The heavens were lighted by brill
liant flashes of electricity as trains OF
the elevated roads struggled against
the sleet. A thin coating of ice
formed over the third rail and the
flashes resulted. Only slow progress

man into a study of pink and white.
The beauty doctor has already made
several experiments with his fountain
of youth. He simply tattoes a blush
on the cheeks without injury to the
flesh or skin, says the Pittsburg Dis

not cause pain-not even a vince
because the needle only enters the
skin one-sixteenth of an inch. He uses
vegetable coloring to produce the

The ordinary man would still much
rather glorify woman and set them on
a mock throne, whence he can depose
them at will, than have to acknowl-
edge in them a real title to regard.
1t is difficult for a man to overcome
his ESSENTIAL self-importance. Most of
us, perhaps, prefer to have interiors
around us-an abject trait of character,
but natural. And only very slowly, re-
marks the London Saturday Review,
have we men been getting to prefer
our womankind as friends and equals,
rather than as queens and pets, ruling
us as a baby or a spoiled dog does.
