Since the election of district del
egates and delegates-at-large to
the Republican national conven-
ton began one of the largest of
the eastern dailies has kept up
an accurate account and has pub
lished once a week an exact tab
ulation of the men chosen. These
figures are most interesting,
bearing little resemblance to the
speculative forecasts which have
been supplied to the press in the
interest of this or that candidate
for the nomination for the presi-
dency. They are simply a rec
ord of every instance in which
instructions have been given to a
delegate, and of the several cases
in which delegates not instructed
have explicitly made known their
intentions. These published facts
show that the choice of the Re
publican convention for presi-
dent of the United States is now
determined, that the nomination
of Mr.. Taft is the will of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Taft could enter the
convention today with not fewer
than $40 votes out of $50, a ma
jority that would secure his NOM
ination on the first ballot, and as
the tide is setting so strongly in
his favor his majority is likely to
increase by the natural process
of accretion beyond the dimen-
sions now clearly discernible.

toned entirely by seniority, fall
to the member with long service
in increasing Importance and in
that respect also the efficiency of
the old member is increased.
Western members, changing con-
stantly, rarely attain to the best
places. A striking instance is
furnished by Oregon. Senator
Fulton, after one term, in which
he has shown marked ability,
has just secured a place on the
important committee on Judiciary
and now his state has decided to
send another in his place. The
new man will, of course, have to
begin at the bottom. Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota
has, after nearly eighteen years
service, just secured the chair
manship of the committee on Ag-
riculture, which is one of the few
committees that handles an ap-
preparation bill. He has, more
over, an important seat on FL
nance and other desirable places,
which can be won only by years
of service, yet, his state is SER
iously questioning the advisable
ity of reelecting him and is COM
pelling him to make a strenuous
fight against opponents who for
many years, if successful, would
be unable to render their state
anything like equally valuable
service.

VERY QUEER PEWS.
Amusing Oddities Of Some Ancient
English Churches.

Some pews in the fine old church
at Malpas, Cheshire, possess most
amusing popularity. Each one con-
sists of several seats, which are real
ly, though not apparently, detach-
ed, and they look easy and COM
Portable. In this case appearances
are deceitful, for should one occu-
pant of any one seat lean forward
while "nidnid nodding" over he
goes on the floor. The seat is so
constructed as to easily tip over
when any weight is placed on its
outer or front edge and was so de-
signed to prevent people from going
to sleep in church.
We still find in few of our an
cient churches the high pews, luxu-
rious cushions and curious fittings
of former days.
In the good old times, when the
squire was lord of all he surveyed
in the village, his pew in the parish
church was often a kind of sitting
room. One such pew occupies the
whole of the south transept of the
diminutive church at Cation, in
Surrey. 1t has a fireplace, low
seat which extends around two sides
of the room and blue tapestry dec
grafton. Above it is another floor,
on which are three or four ordinary
pews for the use of the squire's
servants, and from it a covered way
leads to Cation Hall, some few
yards away. There may be some
truth in the story that former
squire used to enjoy pipe by the
fireplace during the sermon and
that if he became weary he would
90 out through the private door for
short stroll in the churchyard.
A similar pew exists in church
at Colwich, Staffordshire. 1t has
staircase leading to a private door,
and it is said that the postman
came this way to convey letters and
that the servant brought in cake
and wine for consumption during
the service.
The royal pew of st. Georges
chapel, Windsor, is peculiar, because
it is the largest of its kind in Eng
land and on account of its being sit
uated above the choir, down upon
which the queen can see the service
from fine oriel window.
In little Benjamin church, Nor
folk, is a pew for strangers and we'd
ding parties. 1t was constructed by
a shepherd and bears a cheerful,
suggestive piece of ornamentation
in the shape of the carving of
skeleton, with the following inscrip-
ton:
For couples Joined in wedlOck; and my
Friend
That stranger is; This seat did intende.
But built at the cost and charge Of Ste
phen Crisbee,
All you that doe this Place pass by,
A. you are now. even 80 was /,
And as l am soc shall you bee.

A game of whist played in pew
would nowadays cause considerable
comment, yet it seems that the
square pews at Trowbridge were
used for this purpose at the time
the "poet" Crabbe was droning
away in the pulpit.
Other interesting old pews have
names and occasionally coats of
arms painted on them thus:

Churching Pew and, best of all,
The Hall Dogs Pew"

Had You
Planned to do
Any Papering?

Well, by far the most particular
part of all your plans is to make
sure that the right paper goes on
the walls.
The cost of the paper is worth con-
sidering-but style, newness, suit
ability is your main lookout.
For it is quite possible for you to
pay us SC a roll and get new de-
signs, while at other places you
may pay as high as 4Oc a roll, and
still have patterns away behind
the times.
The hint should be plain enough.
We've a whole NEW stock to
show you-a bright, dependable
lot of paper. Wall paper that you
can buy from In safety without
knowing anything at all about
Wall Paper quality.
We are real y anxious to have you
see it, for we feel that We can
make it profitable for you to do
your buying here.

 The four autOists with their car ar rived in Valdez on the Santa Clara yesterday at 12:3O p. m. and were greeted at the dock by almost the entire population of Valdez, headed by the brass band, and plenty of noise signalized the event.
 The men in the party are George Schuster, captain and chaffeur George Miller, mechanic and assistant chaffeur; Hans Hansen, pilot; George MacAdams of the New York Times editorial staff.
 Schuster started on the Thomas as assistant to Montague Roberts, origi- nal chaffeur, who dropped by the way side. Hansen started with one of the French cars and transferred to the American. All the autoists are large athletic young men, who look able to tackle football game or a cinnamon bear.

CRIME RAMPANT
 0N TWO ISLANDS
Americans Are Charqed With Outrage on Fourteen
 Year-old Girl.

Kodiak, March 27-Special Cores pondence-The past winter has wit messed wave of crime on Kodiak and AfOgnak islands which transcends anything of similar character of re- cord in recent years. The most serious crimes consist of outrages alleged to hay e been committed on d fourteen year old half caste Russian girl by two Americans, both of whom occupied prominent positions in government service, and both of whom are under arrest.
 0. l.. Grimes, teacher in the schools on Afognak island is one of those so charged and C. P. Henkel, superintendent of the government fish hatchery now under process of construction at Letnick, is the other. The same girl was the victim in both cases and the greatest indignation prevails among the whites and the better class of natives.
 Grimes has been held to the grand jury and the authorities assert that 'iiSH nave SuHlclcHl eNluence to mako certain a conviction. Henkel is out on bail and his case is set for April 6. Heretofore both men have borne good regulations.
 In addition to the two cases of re- cord the government officials are in possession of afiidavits making similar charges against others and warrants are expected to be issued shortly. The details of the charges are almost beyond belief and point to reign of liccntious lawlessncss which if any thing surpasscs the acts of the Arctic whaling fleets. If present indications are verified the coming term of court will lay bare the existence of an al- most incOmprehensible state of affairs.
 Aside from the cases of the nature mentioned in the foregoing, the is- lands have been the scene of numer- Ous other crimes and several arrests have been made during the winter and spring. The government officials are determined to do everything in their power to stamp out the crimes which have made the Alaskan benin sular notorious and to create in the minds of the lawless element an abiding fear of the law.
