charges of his faith in Missouri, at
which point the Cum berland Pres

he refused, feeling that the Lord
desired his services continued at

matter with him. Rev. McLeskey
is greatly beloved by his congrega-

handsome brick church building has
been erected and a beautiful par

the East room in the White House
would turn green from envy when the
president learned that the senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs witnessed a
genuine war dance by Senator Owen
of Oklahoma, the junior member of
the committee, wearing a magnificent
war bonnet" Of eagle feathers, worn
for many years by Plenty Coos, chief
of the Crow tribe.
Senator Owen is o~ne-quarter Choc-
taw and ~three-quarters game sport"
Thus, when Senator Clapp, chairman
of the committee, declined to don the
war bonnet at the request of Chief
Plenty Coos, Senator Owen grasped it,
placed it on his own head and went
through the proper movements Of the
chief of a victorious Indian tribe lead
ing his warriors into a war dance
after a successful battle, thereby saw
ing the reputation of the committee
in the estimation of the Indians and

THE latest romance of Washington
i society concerns Joseph Letter
and Miss Juliette Williams, the daugh-
ter of an army officer. The announce
ment of their engagement was made
the other day.
Mr.. Letter has spent this winter In
Washington. Miss Williams is the
daughter of Lieut.. Col. John B. Will
liams, now stationed at Fort Dupont,
Del. She was introduced to Washing
ton society largely through the infu-
ence of Mrs. COrbin, wife of Gen.
Henry G.. COrbin, who became &C
quainted with her in Manila. With
her mother and younger sisters, Miss
Williams has an apartment in a fash
ionable apartment house.
Until the recent visit to Washing
ton of the duke of the Abruzzi, Mr..
Letter was very attentive to Miss
Katherine Elkins. Since then his
wooing of Miss Williams leaves noth'
ing to be desired in the way of ardoI
or persistence. MI. Letter las had a

formidable rival In a naval officer who
is very popular, but has no fortune.
That Mrs. Letter favored her sons
suit was evident, although she has
not showered upon Miss Williams the
attentions she has shown Miss Elkins.
Last autumn Mr.. Letter established
several hunts and took daily exercise
on a nearby Virginia farm to enable
him to join the cross country riders of
the Orange County hunt of which Miss
ElKins is one of the two girl mem
bers. Mrs. Letter is said to have in
formed one of her confidants that to
win the young West Virginia girl as
her daughter.in-law she wOuld settle
$4,000, 900 on the bride, give the young
reopie the use of her Dupont Circle
house, and bequeath to her daughter
in-law the famous ruby tiara and neck
lace that even in London society are
regarded as particularly choice jewels.
According to the gossip of clubs n
drawing rooms the engagement will
BE- a short one. The honeymoon Will
be abroad with presentation at the
court of st. James and a taste of the
London season under the guidance OF
the countess of Suffolk as its most
brilliant and alluring features. Mrs.
Letter, in view of her sons prospective
marriage, has abandoned her intention
of going abroad for the summer.

Cujnine and Paper.

More than a quarter of a century
ago the Republican party was shamed
into granting the American people
free quinine. Over the protest of Pig
Iron Kelley and William Mckinley
the bill passed to deprive disease and
pain of the encouragement they got
out of the prohibitive duty on this in
dispensable drug. Mr.. Kelley's argu-
ment was that the bill would destroy
a great Philadelphia industry without
decreasing the price of quinine. He
was wrong in both predictions, and
from one enactment of the Mckinley
bill uuinine ceased to be a medicinal
luxury, so to speak. Just as the tarlfl
on quinine was a tax on health, the
tariff on print paper is a tax on intel
ligence. Every newspaper and BOOB
is laid under tribute by the paper trust
that is accused of selling paper abroad
at a less price than it sells at home
The thing is a monopoly, grasping and
cdious, and there is little doubt that
Mr.. Riders petition for free paper
would pass both houses of congress II
a vote could be had.

NOT in many years has a member
~ of the house of representatives
been so thoroughly unpopular with
his colleagues as is Representative Lii
ley of Connecticut, whose charges or
graft and corruption in connection
with submarine boat legislation IN
brought about the present
investigation by the Boutell special
committee. And this g stated as a
fact, and not by way Of criticism or
disparagement. Mr.. L.illey knows 1t,
too, and it seems rather to please him
than otherwise. At least, so e,s friends
have gathered from his occasional ref
rem to the subject.
A brilliant example of the covent-
rescue attitude of the house member
ship-Republican and Democratic
with reference to Mr.. Lilley was fur
nished during general debate on the
naval bill. Richmond Pearson Hob
son, once one of our leading oscula-
tors, had turned loose a line of war
talk calculated to make the traditional
