The Two-Power Standard.

The "two-powcr'' standard is by no
means a new discovery. 1t was indeed
commonplace of eighteenth-ce century
,statecraft, superior to the navies of
the house of Bourbon" being a popular
maxim more than hundred years
ago. The government of Lord North
effected. considerable reduction In the
navy, but the two-power standard was
maintained on paper, the estimates be-
ing carefully Cooked" Between 1868
and 1888 ninety-seven ships of the line
had been struck eff the list, while dur
ing that period only fifty-four had
been built. The deficit was covered in
the estimates by the Inclusion of a
number Of second-class vessels. of lit
tie value for fighting purposes. 1t is
worth while recalling the fact that
the navie5 of the house of Bourbon"
had meanwhile added no fewer than
seventy-one line-of-battle ships.-Lon-

TACOMA POLICE
Save MONEY

In defense of the police de-
partment and in rebuttal to the
statement made at Wednesdays
council meeting that the depart
ment is running 500 ahead of
fits allowance, Chief Dudley today
produced figures compiled by the
lefty comptroller to prove that the
department has not spent its en-
tire allowance or even a great per
lcent. of it. According to the re-
port, the police department was
granted $84,853.50 for the twelve
months of 1909, making monthly
Expenditure average of $7,069.65.
In January, 1903, the depart
ment was forced to pay several
Outstanding bills incurred the pre-
Ivious month, and the vouchers
amounted to $7,494.95, giving the
outward appearance of excessive
payments.
The expenses for January, Feb
Iruary and March, however,
amounted to only $20,679.40, and.
taking this as a basis, the average
flor the year will only be $780,
I718.40, or $2137.10 less than the
lapportionment.
Chief Dudley says that when he
was asked to make out an expense
budget at the beginning OF the
lyear he shaved the figures as
CLOSE as he believed was possible,
but that he Is still able to keep
Expenses beneath the apportion-
l1nent average.

AMERICANS DEMAND THE MOST
LUXURIOUS COFFINS IN THE WORLD

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-THE
annual report of the coffin trust
shows that there is a largely in
creased demand for rosewood, ma
hogany and quartered oak burial
cases. Even the poorer classes
are demanding the better grades
of caskets. The average citizen
now demands a coffin costing
800. The new style casket, a
|"couch," which opens at the side,
exposing the corpse full length,
has growing popularity. These
may be deliberately trimmed in silk
and laces.
Coffins sent to Europe average,
in selling price, about $25. The
trust managers say: 1.-THE people
of the United States now use the
most luxurious caskets in the
world"
The local factories turn out
|over 100000 caskets annually.

hospital here this morning.
Good, you say. But he took
French leave. And you ought to
have seen his costume. Nothing
he ever wore on the stage could
match 1t.
His trousers were only half
trousers. That is, they were all
there but one leg. His own

to pick up the first thing he found.
He had been in the hospital on
account of an overdose of poison,
following his arrest for stealing
an auto. In spite of his clothes
he made clean getaway.
