In THE senate yesterday the first
real break In the republican rsnks
came on an amendment to restore the
Din. ley rates on paint material. Ten
mid : west republicans, including
Sena NJ Crawford and the two Iowa
senator's, lSsnator Gamble was paired)
united with the democrats iu favor of
the house reduction. lhe motion was
lost by the close vote of Al to 80. SEN
ator Crawford took the strong ground
that the senate committee should give
the senators more infor nation as to
the rates proposed before forcing roll
call and until such light was furnished
he should feel justified in voting for
the house reductions. The COURIER
has something of reputation of be-
ing pretty substantial stalwart, bu,

IT IS said that the actions Of middle
west sen ators yesterday in refusing to
stand by the Aldrich committee sched-
ules will probably lead to placing hides
on the free list. South Dakota Is in
terested in hides and has been making
q fight to get comfortable tariff on
them in her own interest. Our senat.
ors ought gracefully to accept the
situation. They cannot consistently
urge high tariff on schedules In which
they are Interested and at the same
time work for low tariff on schedules

From the New York Times.
A teacher in one Of Brooklyn's public
schools is a stickler for cleanliness. So
often nave orders come that cleanliness
must be observed among the boys in her
class that some of the urchins have even
inquired of their parents what it means
to manicure your finger nails.
OF course there is a "bad boy In the
class. One day the teacher said to him:
Tommy. do you know there is a great
deal Of dirt in your ears?"
There amt neither" sassed Tommy.

Pope's Priceless Clothes.
From the Dertoit Free Press.

The most costly wardrobe in the
world belongs, without a doubt, to the
pope. Etiquet compels him to wear
different garments each day of the
year, and as nearly all of them are
ornamented with rich and rare gems,
no millionaire could hope to purchase
them, even if a value could be placed
On them. The pope's little skull caps
are Of the finest silks, while his en-
%broidered slippers of velvet are gor-
geous to look at. Still more costly are
his gloves, made of white wool, en-
broidered with fine pearls in the shape
of a cross.
A special herd of SO sheep is kept
from which all the papal wooden gar
ments are manufactured. The sur
plices are of the most valuable and
beautiful lace, while one long cape
the "cappa magma" which is rarely
worn, hangs straight from the should
ers, and literally CLEANS from top to
bottom with gold and precious stones.
The rings, too, which the pope wears,
are priceless. containing, as they DO
many stone Of matchless quality.

J. P. Morsan,s Art Gifts in Ono Yea

Their is one man In this city who
has done more for art in Aerfca than
any one else," declared Caspar Pur-

tan museum. THAT man is Mr.. J.. p.
Morgan.
II don't think I am betraying con-
fidences when I place the amount of
his assistance to this institution for the
last year alone at more than $1,000, 900.
"We a built an entire new wing
to accommodate the valuable gifts he
has made to us. These include a $780,
900 Japanese lacquer screen; $25, 900
worth Of furniture and sculpture
from the fa1nou chateau and chapel
of Biron, France; splendid woodwork
from the Palace Marty, near Paris,
and the 81, 200, 900 Hoenschiel collection,
which will be put on exhibition
shortly.
I'm this collection are wonderful and
rare specimens Of medieval and 18th
century French woodwork and furni-
ture, and practically all that was saved
from the ruins of the Tuleries when it
was destroyed by the Commune. Al
though the furniture has all been re-
painted in gilt, traces of the fire still
remain. This is one of the most val
uabl collections of its kind in the
world"

Taft Welcomed To Omaha.

OMAHA, Sept. 20.-President Taft,
leaving the insurgent states of Min.
nesota and Iowa behind him, stopped
in Omaha for the afternoon and even.
ing on his way to the Pacific coast.
The president found Omaha in the
midst of a street car strike. To avoid
the possibility of trouble, Mayor
Dahlman ordered all attempts to run
cars during the presidents stay called
off. The strike did not prevent the
gathering of a large crowd in the
downtown districts and there were
times when the presidents automobile
had difficulty in making its way
through the cheering throng.
The president was taken for an
hours ride through the streets and
parks. He passed nearly every school
building in Omaha and received a
joyous greeting from the children who
stood in front of them, waved flags
and cheered their loudest.
