Have Joint Committee.

According 10 the plan. which is s.
heartily indOrsed by Commissioner West
and members OF Congress, the 100000
would be managed by Joint committee
Of the two houses or Congress, probably
two Senators and three Representatives.
This joint committee could then secure
the services of well-known Washfner ton
men as members OF the various con nit
tees to make the arrangements for the
inauguration. On the part OF the Wash
ingtonians, this work would be. as Il
has been in the past, q labor OF love.
but there seems little doubt, according
to the present outlook that their SER
vices would be freely given.
Every indication now Is that a year
from next March, Washington will find
itself confronted by the fact that 1t has
no place TO hold the inaugural ball
When Congress granted permission for
the use Of the Pension Office, at the
last Inauguration, IT was declared that
such permission would not be given
again. Last winter the Dill 70 erect a
convention hall in which the inaugural
ball could be held was smothered iu
the Senate Committee on the District OF
Columbia.
The only hope. It seems therefore. is
that Congress will appropriate enough
money next session 10 build an armorv
for the District National Guard. and
that this could be completed in time
for holding the big ball there. Of this,
however, no one seems particularly san
guine
It is easy TO see from all this that
any plan by which the absolute neces-
sity Of the inaugural ball can be OBJ
waited is highly advisable, claim the ad-
vocates of the scheme.
Nobody wants TO do away with the
inaugural ball. which has come TO be a
feature Of the nations customs. But ~
Congress will appropriate SlOO, 600 for the
inaugural expenses. the inauguration
can go on on grand scale whether the
ball is held CT not
Those who favor the plan are partsc-
ularly pleased with the idea Of making
the Inauguration q national affair .
thing in which all the people of the
country shall have a share, a grand fiis
play of which the visiting thousands
shall feel proud.

NOT THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
But Good Imitation of Ii Is What
Ecuador Seems to Be.

The American minister to Ecuador de-
scribes it as a rich country where plenty
of opportunity exists for the establish
ment of industries by foreigners.
Some which would give results are ba-
mana planting on the coast, where land
and labor are cheap, the crop finding a
ready market; lard refining, cotton and
woollen mills, cement works to supply
public construction and railroad building,
furniture factories, china and glass works
distilleries and canning and preserving
factories.
All these industries would find the nee
essary elements, raw material of the best
quality and cheap labor. For cement the
country provides all the materials, also
for china and glassware: for shoes fine
leather and hides; for furniture a great
variety of useful and precious woods
There is enough land on the coast avail
able TO supply the banana market of the
world.

ENGINES FOR RIO GRANDE
Improvements on the Western Divis
ion of the System Are Being
Rushed.

The officials of the Rio GTande are
rushing the work of improving the west
ern division of the system. and yester-
day two of the finest types of mountain
climbing locomotives ever turned out of
the Pennsylvania works were delivered to
the operating department of the road at
Pueblo. The engines will be used to pull
trains over Soldier Summit into the Salt
Lake valley. They weigh $1,000 pounds
apiece without their drivers
The motive power of the Rio Grande
along this section of the road is to be so
improved at once that trains which have
heretofore been hauled from Grand juno
ton to Helper in twenty-four hours will
be taken through in fourteen hours. The
line is now being double tracked over
Tennessee pass TO Minturn, and it IS I'M
derstood that the line is to be double
tracked in several other places and a
number of cut-offs constructed.

and we called in doctor No. 2. He
SAID she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all

tor No. said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenlsh sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one of her
eyes. OF course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any,
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eve
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4.

Pearls in Northern Canada

From the New York Herald.
In the mighty streams flowing

pearl industry is carried on among the
Indians and Eshmos. Barrenness and

Signs of human life are scarce
there, but at intervals may be seen

In the rushing waters of the streams
which empty into the sea, pearls are
found hidden in the shells of the mus.

to partially block the river. Unlike
