Has Fondness for Capital City.

Mrs. Elihu Root, wife of the secre-
tary of state, despises Washington
life as much as her husband likes it.
Mrs. Root was instrumental in get
ting her husband to resign as secre-
tary of war and return to New York.
She did not know of the preliminary
arrangements when the president in
vited Mr.. Root to take John Hays
place in the cabinet, and the an.
nouncement that Mr.. Root had accept
ed the portfolio of state came as q
great surprise to her while she was
visiting some relatives up state in
New York.
She read dispatch from her hus-
band announcing his decision, and
then turned to her friends and said:
Il do believe that, if they offered
that husband Of mine place as
policeman In Washington he would
take It, he likes to live there 90

WASHINGTON AS A MODEL CITY
The Movement Has Lately Been Given
Decided Impetus.

The most notable piece of coopera-
tion has been in the movement to
make the national capital a model city
in it's social and economic environ
ment, as well as in broad avenue and
public building.
The Washington monument has a
stone from every state in the union.
The civic neglect of the District of
Columbia has come from the same
quarries. For congress is the common
council of the district and year after
year had administered defeat to meas
ures that would restrict child labor
and lower an excessive infant NOR
tality; would require compulsory edu-
cation for Washington children at the
hands of the same authority which
builds schoolhOuses for the Tagalogs,
and would raze alley shacks. fairly un-
der the caves of the capitol, which, on
the word of two western senators,
were not fit for COW stables.
The fight against child labor and for
compulsory education has yet to be
won. But wife-desertion bill was
passed, a juvenile court bill enacted
and Judge appointed, two foul blind
alleys were opened at once into minor
streets, the president commissioned
a special representative to investigate
conditions, and bill passed providing
for the condemnation of insanltary
dwellings, which had hung fire for
nine years. Here was more social leg
islation in five months than in as many
years before.

The Vice President Suffered.

Vice President Fairbanks was ex-
changing compliments with the mayor
of Kansas City, Mo-, and other prom
inent citizens in Washington attend
ing the deep water ways convention.
He moved nervously from one foot TO
the other and apparently was In .
hurry to get away.
"Yes. drop in any time." he said.
''Tm q little busy this morning. but
come in any time; always glad to see
you"
The delegation bowed itself out,
and the door had scarcely closed
when the vice president shouted for
his messenger.
John, scoot for home and get me

full how q new pair pinches."
While the messenger was going and
returning the vice president nat in

Dob CHARACTER IN CAPITAL
Woman Of Remarkable Mentality Lives
There In Poverty.

Living in squalor in the suburbs Of
Northeast Washington is little old
blind woman who has remarkable
history. She claims to be lineal de-
scendant from Russian nobility, and as
having been married to "grandee"
in that country when she was q very
small girl. This venerable woman.
though living in the most miserable
surroundings, has brilliant mind and
lis an advanced student of astronomy.
One of her axioms is to the effect that
this life would not be worth the living
were it not for the spiritual side of it.
Il do not live here" she said, dream
lily the other day. II exist away up
yonder (pointing skyward) where
there are suns stars and worlds, but.
above all, where there is spirituality
everywhere. Where the sordid and
mean things of this life are not to be
found. Where there is genial
brotherhood and sisterhood Of spir-
ituality."
This remarkable woman numbers
among her other accomplishments the
writing of poetry. Her friends claim
she can foretell coming events with
almost unerring certainty. She has
been student of materla medica since
girlhood. Recently a number of prom
inent people have visited the shanty
in which she makes her earthly abode
while waiting patiently for the time
to come when her spirit will be trans
ported to "the land of the sky and
stars" and every one remarks upon
her phenomenal mentality.

Good Roads Made From Gumbo in the
State Of Mississippi.
Congress some time ago established
an ONCE OF public roads, which is in
structed to conduct experiments and
devise methods for improving the
roads of the United States. The Office
has done a great deal to arouse inter-
est throughout the country in the ne
cessity of good roads and has origina-
ted several means Of making good
roads economically. The latest dis
covery is that of burning clay roads in
Mississippi.
In large areas In the south, particu-
larlt in the valleys of the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, sedimentary clays
are found very generally. In these
areas there is little, or no sand and
the clays are Of q particular plastic
and sticky variety. These sticky clays
are locally known as "gumbo" and
"buckshot." In such localities traffic

gon Wonder.
The biggest high pressure pump In
the world is installed in the Dry Dig
gings placer fields Of Southern Oregon
on Rogue river and is used to operate
a battery of hydraulic monitors In the
mines. This pump is one OF the larg-
est pieces of mining machinery ever
manufactured and could never have
been installed but for the fact that it
was dumped directly from the cars to
the foundation prepared for It In the
mines
The pump was built in San Francisco
and was one of the last jobs doae by
the company before the earthquake
and fire. The pump Is of the fivestep
centrifugal type and it weighs. aside
from bearings and gears. just 7e,e00
pounds. Other pumps have been built
that lift as great a volume of water as
does this one. but they do not deliver
It under such enormous pressure. This
pump is tested to Withstand a maxi
mum pressure of ESQ pounds to the

Its capacity is 100000 gallons In

William E, Haesche will introduce a novelty at to-night's rehearsal of the Peoples Choral union at City Mission hall. A large Victor talking machine will be used in the intermission, when the platform is usually occupied with the weekly soloists, to illustrate to the chorus, the fine art of phrasing, color- atur work and enuciation. The artists who have signifled their kind assist ance for this innovation are three of the biggest song birds on the, opera and concert stage of to-day, namely, Madames Schumann, Heinck, the won derful Milba-and the in- comparable Marcia Scinbrieh. The work underway this season Is the "Cre- alton" and the rehearsals have been enthusiastically attended selections from this work will be given and al- so the most brilliant songs in the rep ertoire of each singer.
 As this is to be lesson in listening as well as singing, Mir, Haesche would like every singer to be present, good or bad weather.
 The gallery will be open for visitors and escorts, who pay five cents for this privilege. The records used are the highest priced ones, clear, distinct and convincing, the human voice being wonderfully reproduced, the clear dic- ton easily understood and the breath ing and phrasing absolutely noticeable.
