Snuff Takers of the u. S. Senate

eAclteo the WONDER and awe OF the
modern page.
He was very proud of a gold SNUFF
box presented to him by the senators
upon the fortieth anniversary of his
entry into their service, and he kept
1t filled with choice brand of the
powder. He carried it in tail pocket
of the frock coat in which he always
appeared, and the force OF his habit of
reaching for it caused a laugh at his
expense.
1t was during the troublous times at
tending the Hayes-Tilden contest, and
it was thought best that Capt. Bassett,
as custodian of one of the boxes con-
tanning the disputed electoral votes,
should be armed He was according
ly provided with revolver, which he
carried in the pocket of the empty
coattail
AS the procession was about to start
on the march from senate to the
had his revolver with him.
Yes he replied, here it is" and,
diving into the wrong pocket, he pro.
duced not the revolver, but his cher
ished gold snuff box
There had been threats of attack
ing the procession on the way to the
house, and the members of the party
were in rather sober frame Of mind,
but the tension was relaxed for the
moment by the laughter which was
caused by the mistake
Perhaps the most noted of the SEN
ators who were addicted to snuff with
in the memories of the old employees
was the late Allen G. Thurman of
Ohio. Mr.. Thurman was frequent
visitor of the official snuff box on the
Democratic SIDE
Vice-President Wilson, who died in
his room at the capitol, was another
noted patron of the senate snuff box,
and SO was Senator Edmunds of Yer
mont.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNIFIED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District Of New York
sitting IN New York has Just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again s,1stains
the eompany's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the, decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner Of the sole and
exclusive right to the use OF red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages OF liver pills of
the style described In the bill Of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption Of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years, ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use Of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time Of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

that there are separate entrances to

of partition to mark the division be-

yet some railroad company is carrying

post Office inspectors discovered that
the package had been delivered to the
addressee and the records mislaid.
When the facts were disclosed
every effort was made by the de-
partment to return the amount to
Postmaster Weart. He had moved
from Deal Beach to Hood River, Ore,
Inquiry showed that he had died
there. An effort to locate his heirs
proved unayailing. Neither of his
two sons could be located, although
they both were traced by post office
inspectors from place to place. The

Tragedy and Romance o. the Dome

| Next to the tragedy of the dome is
recent occurrence which is desig-
nated as the romance of the dome"
| A young couple secured permission
from Capt. Megrew to be married be-
meath the great bronze Goddess of
Liberty on the lofty congress steeple.
A preacher rendered his services, and
the novel ceremony was performed in
m1d-alr beneath the goddess with two
capitol policemen and sprinkling of
visitors as witnesses.
Ihen comes the comedy Of the
dome An eccentric fellow who had
invented a parachute made an inef-
tectual effort to test his invention by
sending down from the dome several
or MS parachutes with cats attached
to them. He was evidently afraid to
risk his own precious life, so decided
to use felines. His purpose was
thwarted by the capitol police, re-en-
forced by the Washington Humane So
ciety.

the house, which, in reality, he had
inhabited only for six years before his
death. But so few of"his other dwell

was looked upon as precious. The

upset price OF $4,000. and was sold
for $1,000.

HERE are two snuff takers In the
1 United States senate, Mr.. Over
man of North Carolina and Mr.. Carter
OF Montana. For the benefit of these
two men the senate still maintains the
official snuff boxes, which are kept
carefully with fresh material for pro-
ducing sneezes.
These boxes are little lacquered af-
fairs about four inches long, two and
half inches wide and an inch deep,
and are fastened by screws to the
top OF the projecting ledge, one on
each side of the ice-presidents dais.
Y The snuff is purchased by the SER
geant-at-arms in four eight pound jars,
at cost OF rs cents pound, and it
takes an average of about five pounds
year to replenish the boxes twice a
week during the sessions The work
of reflling the boxes was for years
one of the duties tremendously per-
formed by the late Capt Bassett, the
venerable assistant doorkeeper of the
senate and inveterate user of the DOW
dered weed; but since his death five
years ago, the task has fallen to the
lot of one of the pages, who, naturally,
does not bestow upon it the loving
care of his aged predecessor.
Capt Bassett when he died had

ADMIRAL CHESTER OPENLY DIS.
CREDITS COOKS CLAIMS
TO DISCOVERY
POINTS OUT SOME ERRORS
AND SHOWS lMPoSSIBIL,Y OF.
REMARKABLE SUNSETAE
DESCRIBED

Washington, Nov s. That Cook
cook could not have reached the pole,
and that Peary did attain that goal,
were statements tonight by Admiral
Chester, retired.
The admiral was member of the
National Geographic society commits
tee that passed upon Peary's data and
announced conviction of it's genuine
ness. The lecture was delivered to sci
entists at the University club, and was
practically the first utterance by an
official of the Geographic society,
which openly disrredited Cook.
Chester commended that Cook erred
i'll saying that at a certain point he
witnessed a remarkable sunset. 1t he
had been there, the speaker contin-
ued, he would have found the sun in
the high heavens.
The testimony of the, Esquimaux
who accompanied Cook, the admiral
insisted, showed conclusively that the
party witnessed the sunset at 81 de-
grees north, considerable distance
from the pole, He also declared tina
Cooks party would have been inpos-
sible under the most favorable con-
ditions.
The speaker made numerous refer
ences to the nautical almanac to dis
prove Cooks contentious and prove
those of Peary.
The admiral announced that he was
preparing public statement, which
he said would establish the truth Of
the matter.
Copenhagen, Nov. 6.-The consistory
Of the University Of Copenhagen unan-
imously declined to permit commit
tee of the National Geographic society
Of the United States to be present at
examination OF Cooks records A
member Of the consistory said:
I'VE refused because we consider
interference unnecessary. We are
competent to examine the records alone
Furthermore, we could not permit rep
resentatives of this society toaattend in
preference to others. Cook only can
per nit this
Washington, Nov. 6.-The Geograph-
ic society issued the following:
1.-THE Geographic society did not de-
sire to participate with the University
of Copenhagen or sit in Judgment with
them on Cooks claims. The society
has been informed from Cook that
only copies of the records would be
sent to it. The society could not act
until it had seen the original docu-
ments, as in the case Of Peary AS there
is no prospect of the originals coming
to this country. the society determined
to send a commission to Copenhagen.
We understand fraom the answer OF
the University of Copenhagen that the
originals will be open for inspection
SO soon as the University has passed
upon them. This is all the society re-
quested."

Ruhies and Diamonds.

Rubies are more valuable than dia-
monds, and are practically indestruc.
tible except by fire. While flawless
diamond of one karat mag be worth
roughly about $500, a perfect ruby Of
the same weight would be worth at
least 5000. With increase of size the
difference becomes much greater. A
diamond of ten karats is worth, per-
haps. $4,000, while ruby of that
weight would be worth any price UP
TO $4,000, which was the value placed
on rare stone exhibited at the
Franco-British exposition in London
last year.
