State Capital Notes

Little Rock--The question as to whether the work of construction shall continue on the new state capitol Is being freely discussed. The members of the commission appear to be in a quandary as to whether they can go ahead with the work after the original appropriation of Sl000,000 for the construction of the capitol is exhausted. It was expected when the bill passed the legislature in 1903 that the cost of the building would not go over the milliOn-dollar limit. Some of the commissioners are of the opinion that when the million dollars shall have been spent thelr hands will be tied and that the work on the building must cease. For this reason they instructed the contractors
 to roof the building and put in win dows as soon as possible. This was done for the purpose of preventing the disintegration of much of the work which would necessarily entail upon the state great and useless expence. The question has been re- ferred to Attorney General Kirby, and the commission will abide by his dicision. If the attorney general an swers in the affirmative there will be ample money to finish the Caldwell & Drake contract, with the exception of building the copper dome which the commission has decided not to build. There is now in the capital fund $1O5,OO0. In July it will receive s140,000, and in July of next year S145,0OO, a total of $390,0 ,00O. In any event, however, the commission would not expend all of this money because with the expediture of s170,000 in ad- dition to the $1,O00,O00 the Caldwell x Drake contract would be completed with the exception of the dome, and the commission has no authority to do any work except that already con tracted for. This $17O,00O would De spent, in the main for floors, tiling, doors woodwork. and ether interior finishings. If the attorney general de cides that the commission cannot spend more than $1,000,000, the capl- tai cannot be made ready for occu- pancy within the next two years, and Caldwell & Drake's contract cannot be wholly completed, as the commlss. on will have no authority to draw on that money in excess of a total of $1,000,000.

Explosives Under Front Porch.

An attempt was made recently to dynamite the home of Ashley COCK Till, prominent attorney and poll t4cian of Little Rock. Two sticks of giant powder were placed on the porch of his residence, 1907 Broadway in such position that their eXplo- sion would have blown in two adJa' cent walls and almost certainly de stroved the entire family. Dampness in the air extinguished the fuse ana prevented a catastrophe. The fuse o1 the sticks was burned for an inch or more The charred match which had been used to ignite them lay near This is the common lucifer Kind ana affords no clue upon which the DO lice can work. Mr COcllrill was ab sent from home until nearly lz o'clock on the night in question. lie does not think the sticks or oyha mite had been placed in the posltlon in which they were found when he re turned home. This leads the authorl ties to suppose that the criminal was watching the movements of MT. Cock Till, and did not light the fuse untl certain that the intended victim hao returned. The sticks were what Is known as 6O-pound pressure dynamite that is they would not explode from m impact of less than 60 pounds force The caps were 6O-pound caps anu would have set off the explosion.

Darkies Got TO the Circus.

He was about IL years old, AID a
fine contrast of black skin and white
worries. He was sitting OF the curb
at D street northwest, crying SO pitt
fully that it attracted the attention
of the pedestrians, says the Washing
ton Star. One man rather good-natur-
edly stopped and asked him:
whats the matter, bub?'
The little fellow stopped, sobbing
long enough to say: "a niger done
come an stole ma Stars, an Ise
'fraid to go 'ome."
Never mind, bub, here's dime
for you," said the man as he dropped
a teneent piece. A few others that
had been attracted to the scene also
dropped in a few pennies and nicKels.
The little fellow dried his tears and
went down John Marshall place OF C
street, where he met another colored
boy that had a few papers under his
arm.
"How much yer got?" was the greet.
ing he received.
'Twenty-o' cents" was the reply.
Good, les go round on de aVeenoo
an I'll watch TO de cops, an We'se

they started to try the avenue.

POLICE DOGS OF VIENNA.
Experiments So Far Have Only Proved
Qualified Success.

Some interesting experiments were
made recently with police dogs in the
Schwarzenburg park, says a Vienna
report. The animals used were Ger
man sheepdogs, greatly resembling
wolves. The dogs proved successful
in carrying messages. They covered
over half mile in three minutes,
bringing a message from an outpost,
taking back. an answer, and then re-
turning to headquarters
A trial to illustrate the use of the
animals in saving drowning persons
nearly had fatal ending. The victim
was dragged by dog across the pond
in which the experiment was made,
but as the animal kept his head under
the water the subject of the test was
half drowned when he reached the
bank.
In another case supposed burglar.
who was pursued by one of the dogs,
was so ferocious1y attacked by the
animal that he had to be rescued
from his captor. Archduchess lisa
bella after the trial ordered a number
of trained police dogs for the pro.
lection of her family when living in
the co untry.

PROPER WAY TO WASH ctIIp
Delicate Material Should Have n
Most Careful Handling.

The proper way to wash delicate
china is to have two bowls, one with
warm, soapy water, the other filed
with cold water to rinse them In.
Take the cups and saucers one 81
one and wash them in the warm, soapv
water, rinse well In the cold water
then let them drain on a board o.
tray.
Dry the china with soft linen glass
cloth to give it a good polish. For
cups, saucefs, and dainty plates wash.
ing soda is rarely needed in the wa.
ter, and if there should be much gilt
in the pattern of the china it should
never be used, as soda has a laost ia.
furious effect on gilt, causing 1t to rub
off altogether.
Supposing the cups are stained BY
cold tea or coffee being left In them.
after pouring it away rub the inside Of
the cup with little salt, and when
washed afterward the stain will dis.
appear.
There ought to be china cupboard
in every house in which to keep the
china and glass.
It should be fitted with shelves, and
there should also be small hooks
placed along the edge of each shelf
on which to hang cups and cream
pitchers.

HINTS FOR THE HOME.
Little Things 1t viii Be Well to EesF
in Mind.

To perfume underlinen put a lump
of orris root into the boiler on washS
ing days. The clothes will be delicious
" fragrant even after ironing.
To clean copper kettle, cut q
lemon in half, dip it in salt, and rulS
the kettle with it. The kettle should
afterward be carefully rinsed in cold
water, and given a final polish with q
clean, soft cloth.
If chiffon ties and wells are merely
tossed and crushed without being
soiled, they can be made fresh if laid
under damp cloth and an iron aps
piled.
If dirty, they may often be washed
but this process must be carried OUT
speedily with a warm, soapy lather.
Squeeze dry, but do not wiring.
Squeeze and swish through the wa
ter, but do not rub.
Gently press and shake in place.
II starch is required, gum water
and rice water are the only reliable
stfffeners. One is made by adding a
few drops Of gum to warm water, the
other by straining the water off boile6

EDUCATED DUCKS
GEORGE TELLS OF HIS WONDER
Full BIRDS.
But When the Washington Club Men
Wanted to See Their Tricks Their
Owner Reminded Them 1t
Was Sunday.

Down on the Patuxent river, short
distance below Upper Marlboro,
George Mackenzie occupies a cabin
overlooking the stream, relates the
Washington Star. George does some
farming on small scale and he also
has charge of the home of the Glebe
club. He boasts that he is enough Of
politician to throw the country to
either political party, but his long suit
is training ducks.
I'm the greatest duck trainer you
ever heard of" he told a gathering of
club members and friends who as
sembled at the home of the club on
a recent Saturday night. Il have six
trained ducks, and they are just the
same as members of my family. No
money could buy them, and want to
say if any of you accidentally kill
one of them you will have to pay me
ten dollars for him."
What is that your ducks can do?'
interrupted one of the listeners.
Anything tell them" was the
ScA1ASoI AOopO40C " IL1S11 O"1I~As L W.
of them won't associate with the 9TH
ers while they are in the water, and
these two go cunning with me. When
we go to the river I tell them to go
away and bring me back some wild
ducks, and they do it.. They will go
down the river and swim about until
they get some wild ducks about them,
and then they will start back to the
blind where wait for them. Before
they get within shooting distance they
will f1utter about in the water to let
me see them, and when they near the
Blind they will swim away in order to
get where no shot will reach them"
DO you really mean that they will
do what you say?" asked a member
of the party.
do I really mean it?" echoed the
Prince George county man. You
watch the ducks in the morning, and
then you will see for yourself, and
that amt all they can do. can send
one of them to the post office at Pig
Point, more than mile away" he re-
anu AS Will UdCh lily
mail to me-"
Nothing more was said about the
ducks until the next morning. Then
George and the guests of the club
stood on the bank overlooking the
creek where the six ducks were sent
out. They did as their owner had
said, two of them left the four and
went down the river, the four going
in the opposite direction George re-
lated the story of how the four ducks
would go to Pig Point and how one of
them would go to the post office and
get his mail.
And" said one of the interested
ones, chow does he bring back the
mail?"
TN his mouth" was the response
Of the trainer.
LET me see you send him to the
post Office now" suggested the for
mer.
There's no use sending him today"
said Mackenzie, because the office
is not open on Sunday.
