Guide Throttles Wolves in White House

John Alternately, the far famed wolf
killer and western guide, officiated as
stage manager and did all the killing.
His alone were the naked hands that
stifled the painting breath of the un.
fortunate wolf. He has a reputation
for doing this sort of thing and wanted
to live up to 1t. He was successful.
Mr.. Alternately gave lifelike exhi-
bition of wolf hunting at the White
House by the medium of series Of
moving pictures. The slides illus
trated wolf hunt as conducted by
Alternately, who, in conquering his
quarry, eschews the use of any deadly
weapon.
The exhibition was given on huge
canvas, arranged for the purpose and
among the interested spectators were
Prof. and Nine. Ferrero and George
Shiras ILL.,, whose achievements as a
camera hunter" have engaged the at
tention of naturalists.
The president fully appreciated the
performance and frequently clapped
his hands, saying: "Fine!" Grand"

WITH. the retirement of President
W.. Roosevelt from Office many peo-
pie suppose that the German Re-
formed church on Fifteenth street will
no longer be the center of interest
which it now is on Sunday mornings.
Interest may be lessened, but it is
expected that DR.. .Schick will still
have a distinguished official to preach
to in the person of Vice-President-
elect JAMES Schoolcraft Sherman.
Like President Roosevelt, Mr.. Sher-
man is member OF the Dutch Re-
formed church, an organization that
has no place of worship in this city.
He is a leading member of the Dutch
Reformed church in his home town
Of Utica, MY; but he has never affil-
lated himself with any church of the
capital City. it is thought that when
he assumes the dignity of vice-presi-
dent of the United, States he will give
his attention to religious matters to

Estimated Cost of Taking New Census

prior enumeration. Formerly the in.
crease in the cost of the census from
decade to decade has been about 90
per cent, and on this basis the cost
of the thirteenth census proper, ex-
elusive of the four annual and the two
biennial reports, would be. sis, ESQ, 900,
nearly $6,O00,000 more than the direc-
tor estimates the actual cost Will be.
An important means of bringing
about this saving is the fact that the
bureau will build, and own the neces-
sary tabulating apparatus instead Of
renting it as heretofore. On. July l..
1905, the apparatus which had been
used in tabulating the census of 1900
and which was owned and operated. by
a private company was withdrawn
from the bureau of the census be-
cause the company and the director
could not agree on the rental. The
withdrawal Of the machines compelled
the director to ask congress for an
appropriation for experimental work
in developing new mechanisms to be
owned, contrQlleds and operated by
the government. The results of this
experimental work have exceeded all

Sherman May Attend Roosevelt Church

the extent of regularly attending d.
vine service.
When Mr.. Roosevelt first came to
Washington, DR.. Schick, pastor of the
German Reformed congregation, which
occupied modest little building hard
ly more than a chapel, wrote to him
and said that as there was no Dutch
Reformed church in Washington, he
would be pleased If Mr.. Roosevelt
would worship with his flock.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not then presi-
dent of the United States. He wrote
and said that he would come to his
church, and nearly every Sunday
morning he can be found in his pew
taking part in the service and listen
ing to DR.. Schick's sermons. Members
of the congregation say that President
Roosevelt has liking for certain
hymns and that he joins Justify in the
singing Of them. There is no choir in
DIR. Schick's church, the music being
rendered entirely by the congregation,
led by the precentor. 80.
1t is thought that If DR.. Schick's at
tention is called to the fact that Mr..
Sherman is in the same position re-
ligiously as was Mr.. Roosevelt he will
send him an invitation to become a
member of his flock during his Wash
ington residence.

There were only few men in the

Baltimore, ana / gave my attention,
unobserved, to one man with tele-
gram in his hands. 1t was a two

at 1t, and looked at it without seeing
anything. He was hard hit, but he
was no squealer The muscles at the
hinges of his jaw tied themselves into

He had told us about that girl,
about the honors she had won at
college, about her skill ON horseback
and in outdoor sports, and about what
