nee for country. His statue presents
an interesting contrast to that Of Mac
Monies. Neither had any portrait of
Hale upon which to work, for none
exists. They had to be guided by the
descriptions Of the hero which have
been handed down and by their own
conceptions Of his appearance and ex-
preston. Each statue has its special
admirers. Hale was twenty one at the
time of his cruel death. Perhaps he
seems more boyish in the statue by
MacMonnies. Partridge has succeeded
we'll in expressing in the features Of
his Hale the patriotic fervor of the
young enthusiast In the cause of the
new nation and his athletic qualities.
The hero was about six feet tall and
could put his hand on a fence rs high
as his head and clear 1t with a bound.

made the famous jump that marked
him MS the best all around athlete Of

Fighting Warehouse Men,

Walla Walla-A contest between
the farmers Of the Walla Walla
valley and the companies maintain
ing warehouses along the lines Of
the O. r. & N. and Northern Pacific
seems evident from the result of a
conference in this city on Satur-
day
A committee from the local union
OF the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union met the repre-
sentatives of the Puget Sound Ware
house Company and the Pacific Coast
Elevator Company in the rooms of
The Commercial Club, but no definite
conclusions were reached. The farm
ers desire to own and control the
warehouses that are devoted to the
handling Of grain.
The meeting was to determine
whether or not the company would
sell any and at what prices. No
agreement could be reached, and it
Is authoritatively understood that
the farmers will proceed to erect
warehouses of their own. The COM
mittee of farmers claim that the Fa-
citic Coast Elevator Company is hold
ing it's buildings at too high figure,
end the Puget Sound Company would

Fire Insurance..

There are traces in earlier times OF
enforced or voluntary contributions to
ward the relief of sufferers by fire, but
1t Is only about the beginning of the
seventeenth century that we hear OF
proposals being made for more sys-
tematic provision. and it was not till
after the great fire in London in 1866
that these proposals took practical
shape. This seems at first to have
been in the form of underwriting by
individuals or by clubs, and some at
tempts were made to engage the cor
poration of London in a scheme OF fire
insurance. Int in 1851 the first regular
office for insuring against losses by
fire was opened near the Royal ex-
change. and it was followed shortly
afterward w. others

vi ANAr-o NJ VA 'i-'' FORM unions WIFI
titled foreigners A bill to this effect
was introduced not long ago by Repre-
sentative SABBATH. also of Chicago. and
in speaking on it Mr.. McGavin said he
wondered If the pioneers Of the cOun-
try did not turn over In their graves ut
ell Of this country sacrificing their
souls and honor on the altar Of snob-
berry and vice." The house at the
time was in committee Of the whole
on the state Of the Union. and Mr.. Nc
Gavin thought 1t was opportune to in
qufre into the general tendency to-
ward unions" Finding that the bill
ferred to the committee on ways and
means because it proposed to levy
tax. Mr.. McGavin continued:
was curious to know whether the
present tariff schedules Included dukes,
earls lords and counts, and finding that
these things were nowhere mentioned,
thought that 1t might be proper for the
customs officer to classify them like frogs
legs or as poultry. for 1t is the general
opinion among Americans that they are
a species Of geese.
We upon this side Of the house have in
recent years referred triumphantly to the
fact that as between this and other nations
the balance Of trade was in our favor,
but nowhere in the summary can be found
a reference to such trades as these, where
sOiled and frayed nobility is exchanged
for a few million American dollars wrung
from the lambs Of Wall street, with O wo-
man thrown In ito boot"
There was a time when wealthy Amer
icans travelling in Europe were contented
with buying costly fabrics and paintings
by old masters OF whom they knew moth
lng. but now they want something even
more costly, but less valuable. So when
the wealthy girls travelling with their par
ents abroad see some remnant of royalty
they enthusiastically exclaim. "Oh, man.
ma. buy me that" An Interpreter is OBJ
tained. the bargain is made. and the
money Is produced, and the girl Is gone,

Ii Not. Why Not?

An old resident of Olympia, who is
a total abStainer. recently observed
that :" he agreed with the STANDARD
on the open Sunday saloon, cspcc-
tally as applied to the Puget Sound
country, in which there are so many
without homes, who, arriving in the
city wearing their every day clothes
could not find congenial quarters at
the Y. NJ. c. A. or other reading
rooms, where they might meet COM
panions on a social equality: that
these men are not bad persons, but
desire companionship, and think they
cannot find it on Sundays elsewhere
than the saloon. Men whoal'c weary
and not dressed according to church
caste, doubtless feel under such cir
cumStances that they need Sociabi!ity
more than an opportunity to read re
ligious literature or hear ethics dis
cusSed. There is Il time to b" ~ocia-
bile, as well as to listen to religious
instruction. If the good temperance
people do not want men to 80 into
saloons on Sundays, or other days. to
get in out Ct the moisture. why do
not Il few of the wcll-to-do brethren
get together and provide halls or
meeting places for their unfortunate
brothers?
