rowing now has the center of the stage
among college men. The squads are
getting thinned down and the candi-

ton.
All the colleges which will be repre-
sented in the big regatta in June are
now down to their oats. The last of
them to begin was Syracuse.

Speaker Reed appropriated a billion
dollars during it's lifetime of two years,
the speaker tersely defended it on the
ground that this was billion-dollar

danger of becoming a two billion dol

peace about one-third of what the civil
war cost is almost inconceivable. 1t

The gold coins of the United States
will be changed some time during the

and beautiful workmanship are about

For a month or SO after he gave up
the Office which he had held for eight
years, Mr.. Tufts made desperate ef-
forts to retrieye his fortune. He was.
a fixture in the bucket shops III the
city and appeared confident Of sue:
cess. 1T was known, however, that at
the end Of a series Of operations he
found himself less than $500 ahead Of
the game and II was then that he left
the city.
1t was reported several weeks ago
that Mr.. Tufts had secured an irnpors
tant position with a lumber company
at Tacoma, Wash, and that he was
receiving a salary Of $4,000 year.
Friends here were encouraged by the
news and hoped that the trouble with
the government might be averted. IT
developed, however, that Mr.. Tufts
had left Tacoma very soon after he
arrived there and had dropped cons;
pletely out Of sight. An unconfirmed,

present in Colorado.

Grafton of the measures already before
the two houses will engage much of the.

time to occupy with the discussion of

be considered in committee and it will
be necessary for the two houses to de-
pend upon the wise judgment of COM
mittees if they are to dispose fairly of
the measures coming up for considera-

Next week a number Of the bills in

strict anti-pass law would be valuable,
and one for freight reductions and
more power to the railroad commission

about lit is not at all certain that the

passenger service is concerned, for the
