1t was a matter of genuine interest

talks, and effective ones, too, but they
did not essay to split the welkin with
their p%erorations, and rather despised
in their hearts the "wind-jammer" and

Washington, d. G., Dec. The
Brownsville affair consumed nearly
the entire session OF the senate today.
Senator Foraker obtained the floor
early in the day and read letters from
former soldier of the Twent ty-fifth
regiment telling Of the procedure of
government detectives in attempts to
get confession from him
Mr.. Foraker introduced an amend
ment to his original bill for the re-
enlistment of these soldiers providing
I that a committee of three retired
army officers he created to determine
whether the discharged soldiers are
innocent Of compli city in the shooting
up of Brownsville as prerequisite
for their reenHstment instead OF
leaving that duty with the president,
as provided by the Warner bill.
The presidents message, giving the
results OF the war departments inves-
tigation OF the Brownsville affair, was
read by Mr.. Foraker and he again
took the floor to comment upon the
message.
Senator Carter announced that to,
morrow he would speak upon the post
al savings bank bill and would ask
that 1t be made the unfinished bust

LITTLE Street
singer KILLED


The story Of the killing Of several
policemen by adam God and wo-
men Of his fanatical party at Kansas
City, brings to mind that " Adam
God and his crowd were in this city
a day or two last summer, having
come down the river in houseboat.
The woman and little girls went about
the city singing hymns in a Wierd way
for what money was put in the hat
that was industriously passed.
John Sharp or Adam God ) as he
was known by his followers, was the
man with the flowing beard, and it
was he who attacked the policeman
who wanted to know where they got
the children, he believing them stolen.
This attack was followed up by firing
on the police by both men and Wo-
men, the woman with the girls put
ting four bullets into an officer, who
permitted himself to be killed rather
than fire on a woman.
One Of the little girls, Lola Pratt,
was killed by the police while trying
to escape in a boat, the woman with
the gun having fired on the officers.
This tragedy has put an end in
Kansas City to street exhorta a#ions
by unknown parties, and it might be
well if the practice was stopped gen

THOMAS JEFFERSON
THIS ACTOR, So PoPu uLAR WITH.
BISMARCK AtjDlENcE cEs, COMES
BACK IN HIS FATHERS FAM
Gus PLAY, RIP VAN WIN X = z.

The announcement that ,Thonss
Jefferson is to be seen at the Athen-
cum next Saturday evening in Rip
Van WiIkle,' will recall to mind the
excellent impression made by this ac-
ator in other delightful scha racters on
previous visits to- the city.
There Us nothing even III the class
ic Shakespe realm that has APP
pealed so steadily and 50 strongly to
the theatre going public ais has this
story of the drunken vagabond OF the
Catskills. In tragedy, genteel come-
dy, farce, burlesque or comic opera,
there has ben no oductions that ever
could hold a candle TO the wond derful
record which Rip Van Wrinkle. has
enjoyed. And more remarkable still
it is positive that the play will en-
dure for many years to come, in
Thomas Jefferson's conception It's
perennial popularity is due entirely to
the equisfte art, delicate feeling and
irresistible humor with which the
Jeffersons have delineated the jovial
old Yagabond hero. There is heart IN
every line the artist speaks, and
there is tenderness and love and all
the sweetest and gent1est qualities of
humanity in the delightful old toper's
makeup.
1t is 9 character such as no actor
can give except a Jefferson, for they
have lived and breathed the very at
mosphere of the character all their
lives Thomas Jefferson pours his
own heart and soul and all the genial
attractions Of his own nature into the
part and SO mikes and nolds them
with his glorious gliding art that the
results call for all the admiration and
affection which am audience Is capable
OF giving. 1t is marvellous resur-
rection from Washington Irving
pages OF the hero OF the village of
Falling Water, a masterpiece Of his
trionism as splendid and perfect lin
| its way as the best that any of the
old masters ever put on canvas. 1T
is as popular with the public today as
lit was four decades ago and those
theafre-gcers count themselves lucky
who are able to renew their acquaint
ance with it every few seasons.

1 According to the editor of the.
Northwestern Miller published at
Minneapolis, the millers of that sec
tion will not abide the decision Of
Secretary Wilson with respect to
bleacned flour without testing in the
courts the legality of the order and
the authority of the secretary fin
ally to pass upon the matter. It is
claimed, with respect to the process
of bleaching, that it is harmless, and
that the order of the secretary is arb
itrary and unwise. As to the Whole
matter, 1t would seem that there
ought to. be no great difficulty in ar
irving at a just conclusion. The mil
ling industry is one of prime Import
ance to the northwest, and it seems
hardly probable that an arbitrary or
der would be entered with a view
to embarrassing the millers, if such
an order could not be sustained by
reason, good Judgment and consider
ations of health. On the other hand
IF millers are agreed as to the value
of the process, it would seem only
fair that they should have a day in
court to establish their claims. Sure
" the millers do not desire to con-
tinue5 a process that makes a harm
full product, and on the other hand
there could be no desire to cripple
them in the carrying on Of their law
full business. q ,. Y,

Irrespective of any other consid-
Grafton but that of friendly sympathy
the people Of the state will ergret
to learn Of Senator Hansbrough's
serious condition, necessitating an
operation recently performed at Min
neapolis. The senator has been in
poor health for a year or so, and his
condition was not improved by tae
necessities of strenuous primary
campaign lasting for a number Of
months. He underwent mastoid
operation while in washington in the
course of the last session Of congress
and an aggrayation of the trouble
from which he suffered then has
made a second operation necessary.
The operation is at best dangerous
and exhausting and in the senator's
physical condition is more to be fear
ed. It is to be hoped that he may
continue to improve and that rest
from, his Legislative activities may
restore him to complete health.
