Washington Post.
 The genuine old Washington cab driver is as unlike the average species as an orange is unlike lemon. He is a genial and compsSionable creature with pronounced talent for converse tion.
 He sits sideways in his little open carriage. one leg half the time hanging over the side, devoting himself enthu- siastically to his passengers and their edification.
 He considers it a moral obligation to know the answer to every question that anybody's fertile imagination can suggest, and he dissen1inates more transformation in an hours drive than will be corrected In a lifetime.
 During the D. A. R. convention one of these omniscient jehus was piloting two or three women about Washing ton. Apropos of some historical ref erence, one of the women spoke of the newspaper account of the proposed burning, just about that time, of the Patrick Henry house because 1t was infested with bats. The women com mented on it and said 1t was pity it had to be done.
 Yes" said the driver, taking the part in the conversation which he felt to be incumbent on him; "yes, it cer- tainly is too bad. An Mir. Henry's jest ben to a heap of expense. too. I reck- on he's spent as much as S10.000 the last few years putin that house in order.

Mir, Hover is the owner of the Ken newick and Hover townsites on the North Bank Road, in Benton county washtnrton, which he will visit dur. ing the trip. From Spokane ne ana Mrs. Hover will go to Butte, St. Paul, Chicago, Toronto. Montreal ana new York, where they will ship to Napies. From Naples they will tour 70 brinoisi and other points of interest In soutn- srn Eurone. After the southern Europe tour they will ship to Egypt and fol- low up the Nile to the farthest point ever reached by an automobile and VIII
 make an effort to pierce the African JunaIes. After this will come Paies- fine, Turkey and Greece. which coun- tries will be visited during the winter months. They will also tour every country visited by an automobile in Europe, and from there will go to the Orient.
 Japan, India, China and the Philip ntna Islands will also be toured. after which Jump will be made to Aus. traIia. After touring Australia they will take a steamer home for Portland, after having visited every continent except South America, and Mr. Hover exnects to visit a number of the South American countries later.
 Mir. Hover estimates that between four and five years will be required to make the trip. He will not spare machines and says that as soon as one car becomes unfit for use he will pur- chase another. He says that he finds a light car much more convenient for heavy roads and will use light touring cars altogether on the trip. MT. and Mrs. Hover are the first couple on re- cord to tour the world in an auto mobile.

The oregon Winner.

New York Sun.
 The Hon. Geore Earle Chamberlain, A Mississippian, educated in Virginia and transplanted to Oregon 1876. nas a genius for popularity. He had been m the Northwest only four years when he wes elected to the oregon legisiature. He was also a District Attorney in the sos. Tn 1891 he was appointed and In 1899 was elected Attorney General.
 In 1900 he was again elected a Dis trict Attorney, and before his term was out he was elected Governor. Re-elect- ed In 1907 he is now the chioce of majority of the voters of his State to succeed the Hon. Charles ". Fulton as A Senator in Congress. MT Fulton term expires March 3, 1909 MT. cham berlains term as Governor ends in lSll' surely a fortunate politician. who can't serve his time in one ofilce before another Is thrust upon him.
 Governor Chamberlain Is said to have much of Clay's and Blaine's ex- traordinary gift of remembering names and faces, gift of rather more use than any other to a politician in this world of vanity, Yet he is no mere mixer" and hank shaker" He Is man of cultivation, a sound lawyer.
 As Governor he has introduced re- form and order in the State instttu- tfons. His appointments have usually been excellent, we believe, and his not fnfreouent choice of Republicans for office has strengthened him among his friends of non -partisanship." a theory which has helped him a good deal In Republican State. and has perhaps hunbugged, not to say buncoed, the Republican brethren there. On the whole, Governor Chamberlain seems a winning candidate in every sense, and so can hope nothing from the national Democracy, which loves to lose.

Stray Topics From NeD York

called the champion matchmaker" in New York society.
 Mrs. Wilson was mother of Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Mrs Ogden Goelet, and Orme Wilson, who married Caro- line Astor, sister of John Jacob Astor. The fact that three of her children married into the Astors. the Wander bi1st. and Goelets. the three richest families as we'll as the. most infiuen- tial socially in the country, made her real power in New York and New. port.
 Mrs. Wilson was born in Macon, Ga.. where she lived during the. Civil War. At that time her husband was an agent for the Confederate Gogernment and had charge of the sale of it's cotton in Europe. After the war he came to New York where he founded a bank ing house and became a figure of im- portance in the financial district. Mrs. Wilson, possessing tact, charm and social qualifications, soon achieved a conspicuous position in society.
 Two beggers have devised a new way of making a living from the charitably disposed in New York. They are a picturesque pair
 One is an old shrivelled little wo- man. with appealing eyes, her face al- most hidden in an old brown shawl, and her lean, brown wrinkIed hand peering timidly from the recesses of this wrap, holding in its wan hngures little tin cup.
 The man. a young fellow, has jet black hair and swarthy features He carries a. little hand organ and a stan. Their game is a simple one.a They creep into a subway train, the youth supporting the ancient dame, and take corner seat at the Brooklyn Bridge station.
 Presumably they are going uptown some where to play music on the street. The people see them and they look so helpless, So appealing, oc- casionally dollar bill drops into the cup from willing hands.
 A man interested in scientific charity followed them to a station far up- town where they got off. Instead of going up to the street to play they crossed the station, which it Is possible to do at this point without paying an extra fare and took. the next train down town. And when they got to the Bridge they took another uptown train.
 Colonel, Rev. William Brooks Ma son, negro. who claims he is. 137 years old, is in dire distress because his young wife. whom, he took unto himself last January finds life with him uncongenial.
 She was only thirty seven. and al- though there were a hundred years difference in their ages, stil1 the old man had all the romance and sentiment of youth and was all broken up when he found note advising him that his young wife had left him never to re- turn.
 The old man sought the aid of the police but so far has been unable to locate his young wife. Mason, who has had some trying experiences in his century and thtrty-seven years of life, was not so disturbed but that he waa able to give out few facts about his long life.
 He claims to have been born in TITO. that he once held George washinetonIs horse and carried him a glass of water and that he had talked with Lord Cornwallis who advised him to stick to the straight and marrow path. Shortly after that Mason decided to be" come minister.

 Regular drills begin at once after the assignment of . recruit battalion. beaides drilling. the future sailors learn signaling of all kinds. The walls of the drill hall are covered with the flags of ell nations and their signal codes. Wigwagging and semaphoring are practiced until the classes are pro- ficient in these arts. From a huge compass painted on the wall they learn to box the compass
 All departments of the sailors pro- fession are included in the course. With log and lead line the boys lsarn how to tell the marks" and 'deeps." Out on the breakwarer are small stages from which they heave the lead. In the rigging loft instruction is given in tying knots. coiling gear and making spices, and on a masthead in the yard fitted with the ropes and spars of a sea-going vessel the students make practical application of the theory of working ship.
 Interspersed with what may in the occasional cruises about the waters of Narragansett bay and the nearby sounds, in the course of which the embryo sailors learn navigation by practicing it. In addition to small sailing vessels for these cruises there are larger vessels. rather more yacht like in construction and fitting than the recruits will find when they get into actual service. The cruises are naturally looked upon as a highly en- joyabie part of the course. and every undergraduates has chance at them
 There is no end to the drills both ashore and afloat Practice with small arms-revoIvers and rifles--is an es- sential part of the education. Tamil liarity with thermometer. barometer chronometer are cultivated. There is in short, hardly a branch of knowledge which may come in useful in the varied life of a battle ship fleet which in not taught. either theoretically or practically, at the naval school

 The movement to raise a substantial purse was started by MT. O'Connor sev- eral weeks ago, and the subscriptions

 The subscription paper. to which eighty names were signed, was headed as follows:

Beware of Any Physic That Brings Pain

Griping and pain will never occur un- less there is irritation. Salts and harsh pills bring their results by irritation-by causing the bowel fluids to flow.
 So pepper in the eyes or nostrils will cause fluids to flow. But is It wise to treat delicate membrane thusf Do so for a time and the membrane win harden. That is how Nature wards of such attacks. The you need larger doses. Eventually the calioused bowels fail In their functions entirely. Then you have chronic constipation. No wise person will ever abuse the bowels in that way. They will use Cascarets.
 CascaTots never cause pain. That proves that their action is natural Yet they are just as effective as harsh RhYsie.

MAKING "JACK EARS"

If he does not know how to swim. he receives lessons in the big pool, which. in winter, is kept at a proper tempera- ture. He gets acquainted with his fel- lows and attends classes. At the end of three weeks he has completed his novitiate, is surprised to find how quickly the time has flown and Is as- signed to regular quarters in the bar racks for the remainder of the course.
 Here he learns what strenuous school life really means. His day begins with reveille at 5.30, when he turns out, Is served with bowl of hot cocoa and spends an hour washing up his ham mock cleaning his clothes and tidying up quarters generally. At 3 o'clock the bugle sounds for breakfast forma- tion, and the recruit falls into line in the battalion of which he is a mem Der and marches to the mess hall.
 Breakfast is one of three hearty meals passed out each day of the stu dents of the naval school There Is nothing elebarote about these meals. nor is there anything stfngy-Just good meat, potatoes and other vegetables, bread and butter in any desired quan- tity., with tea and coffee to wash it down, and on Sunoays and holidays, pie or other deserts. The appetite with which 1t is eaten would make any food palatable, even though 1t were far worse than that served to the young sailors.
