Special Correspondence to The Press

special OorreSpondeuce to The Press
WASHINGTON, March 49,.
Some years ago Col. ike" Hill,
then sergeant-at-arms of the house
of representatives, was order to get
out the mace to restore order
among several wildly quarreling
congressman.
Col. Hill hurried down with the
mace, it's silver eagle shining be-
fore him. He didn't have any idea
what he was expected to do with 1t
when he reached the scene of the
disorder. But that didn't worry
him any.
shut up" he shouted, waving
the eagle. "Shute up, or I'll let
him peck you" The combatants
laughed and subsidized.
Well, most people wouldn't have
any more idea what mace is for
than Col. Hill. There may be a
few people here and there who
don't even know what it looks like.
For the benefit of these The Press
hereby gives a picture Of the crit
ter, clasped warmly in the arms of
Speaker Cannon.
The mace will probably play an
important part in the coming extra
session of congress when Uncle Joe
and his naughty boys get to quar-
reling about the rules. It's a good
idea for all young congressman to
know the bird by sight. Because II
the eagle comes fiuttering down the
aisle toward them, and they don't
sit down and sit tight. close the
mouth and fold hands tight in front,
they'll be lin contempt" And that
means reproof. censure-maybe ex-
pulsion.
For the little-heard-of mace is the
final authority In preserving the
dignity and decorum in congress.
The mace, then, consists of sfi-
yer eagle, with outstretched wings,
| which sits on a silver ball, which in
turn rests on a pillar composed OF
13 ebony sticks, bound together
with silver bands. When congress
convenes 1t is brought solemnly
out, installed on a granite pedestal
and is promptly forgotten.
Its origin goes back to the old
Roman days, when the magistrates
who correspondent to present day
police judges. had maces-they
| called them fasces then-which
were carried about the city by lie
tors.
The original fasces consisted of

the magistrates orders. If it was
trivial offense, they would use
merely the rods. If serious, they
would make the culprit lay his head
across the gutter and chop it off
with the ak.
These fasces soon became an es-
tablished symbol, not only in Ro-
man government, but with other ma
tons.

certain that bill making it IA felony
will pass the legislature, and Gov.
Stubs has promised to sign 1t. The
bill makes it felony for married
woman to run away with another
man and vice versa. Any man who
deserts his wife or a legitimate child
under IA years of age, Will be guilty
OF a crime punishable by Jail or
penitentiary sentence. The same
punishment is to be meted out to a
wife. If "a man refuses to support
his wife or child he must go to Jail.
Another bill which seems certain of
passage provides that brides and

IS HE A new CALHOUN ?

Has new Calhoun come up from
the west to go down upon Washington
and beard the modern jackson in his
den?
Charles J. Hughes, Jr.. on receipt
of his certificate of election yesterday
delivered an address in which he de-
fined what his policy shall be AS a
member of the minority party at
Washington. The speaker has lived
the greater part of his life in Colo
rado. yet, though the voice WAS the
voice of westerner, the matter and
the sentiment were of the south. He
is opposed to federal interference with
state affairs; he is in direct opposi-
tion to Roosevelt and the Roosevelt
Pinchot policies. He will not up
hold the wholesale arrests and prose-
outions by federal authorities Of men
and interests that have taken and
kept the public domain. There must
be a return to the ancient policies.
1t was notable address. 1t left no
doubt regarding the larger and older
democracy of Mr.. Hughes. He Is a
state rights man. He is not afraid to
express himself perspicuously. And
there is some depth to him and his
matter. With that thoroug hness
which has been so conspicuous in his
professional life. he has gone Mt the
political question and dug deep and
brought forth argument which will
appeal to section of the people. At
Washington as a representative of n
western state he will carry weight in
the onslaught which he will make at
the opportune moment Denver Re-
publican.

LIFE's SCARS.
Tbey say the world is round. and ye

They say the world is round. and ye
often think it square;
So many little hurts We get.
From corners here and there.
Bot one great truth in life I've found
While journeying to the west:
The only folks we really wound
+ Ara those we love the best.
The man you thoroughly despise,
Can rouse your wrath, tits true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise,
AT things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing ills,
This rule all lives will prove:
The ranking wound which aches and
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choices garb, the sweetest grace
Are oft to strangers shown:
The careless mieD, the frowning face
Are given to our own.
We fatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fieeting guest
And deal full many thong htless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom.
Alas for those who only see
This cut across the tomb
But, soon or late the fact grows
plain
To all though sorrows test
The only folks who give us pain
Are those we love the best.

been informed of conditional par
don and the case going against him.
He was what is known as bad
man" in every sense of the epithet.
Three times in his career he had es-
capped from prison and had shot and
killed deputy on one occasion. He
had brother, Charles Meagher of
Cleveland, also thief. burglar, and
desperate, resourceful crook. He had
many friends; and Frank Meagher,
then fine looking, well-educated
chap of 2S, was highly respected and
much admired among the denizens of
the underworld for his daring and
cleverness.
Murray was certain that the
chances were all in favor of complete
plans having been made to rescue his
man. He had all of his papers ready
after midnight on June 20, and went
direct to the jail A train left at 4 80

There was no response. Murray's
mind worked swiftly. The prisoners
silence was uncanny. Perhaps he
might shoot or bring the club down
with splintering force on the back of
his head Still the detective sat, with
out moving, gazing steadily down the
stairs. Finally Meagher spoke soft
ly, almost in a whisper
You're game fellow, Murray" he
said. '1ll not go with Muncie, but
I'll go with you, If you get me that
suit of clothes"
He stepped down and surrendered
the club and gun into Murray's hands,
and they walked side by side into the
office. Meagher spat contemptuously
at the sheriff, swore at Muncie, and
glanced at the clock. 1t was Just four,
and smile fitted over his face. He

train was making ready to go.
A second carriage drove up, and
from thence alighted Red Jim Car
roll, Joe Dubuque, and two other we'll
known crooks. Murray and Muncie
hastily boarded the train with their
| prisoner between them. AS the cars
began to move, a third carriage drove
furiously up to the station, but the
occupants did not emerge, probably
seeing that they had missed the train.
Red Jim Carroll and his three COM
panions. however had climbed aboard
in safety.
Murray's quick eye caught sight Of
them entering another car, and he
nudged Muncie with his elbow.

asked. Muncie nodded.

had sent more than one human soul
to the great Judgment Seat in the
past, was covering him with fatal ac-

desperado's challenge. There's no

said I'm not coming up. just want

Meagher had risen to his feet and
stood at the top of the stair, looking
down upon the man just below him.
The sheriff grew suddenly valorous
Come down, Meagher, or III shoot"
he cried. shrilly.
Shoot, blast YOU" responded
Meagher, vigorously. I'D rather be
shot here than hung in Canada"
There was moments silence, and
Murray heard Detective Muncie advis-

this to me-" shouted Murray. Frank,
he continued, addressing the prisoner,

you'd have to go all the same"
While speaking. Murray mounted
the steps slowly, until he stood with,
in ten feet of Meagher, who pointed
the revolver full In his face.
Stop" he commanded, harshly
Stay where you are, Don't move an
inch closer"
Murray paused and stared unflinch

never in his life had death doomed

he knew an attempt would be made to
rescue him. From the fact that he
had gained possession of revolver
and club, 1t was easy to surmise that
some of his friends were scheming to
aid him. He thought of that 4:35
