foolishness? Alexander Hamilton the first Secretary of the Treasury. who was, although a professed democrat, a royalist at heart. was the first to insti- tute the custom. and he did 1t for the purpose of nRratiatlng himself with George Washington, the first President. The custom may have been all right in those days--it may have suited the conditions and the times-but the world has progressed since then, and it has become obsolete. and in recent years 1t has been used only for the purpose of suppressing new Senators, ercepting in such cases where q man like Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, sneak behind it for the purpose of gratifying thelr personal animosity against some man who in the past has opposed him politically.

Many of the old time members of the upper branch of the legislature were given thetr conge at the last election, and it is not likely that new members, who are becoming stronger numerically ovcrN year or two, will be content to wat around for ten or twelve years before being allowed to do or say any thing. and when they explode the first tenets If this Senatorial courtesy it is not unlikely that they wi1l revolt and kick the whole custom in all it's ramifcations higher than a kite.

IMMENSE TREE
 FOR EXHIBIT

| SEATTLE, Feb. 1S.-The largest fiji tree in the State of Washington will be brought to the Alaska Yukon Pa l Cific Exposition, if it can be got here
 At present the forest giant is lying on the bank of the Humptulips river, in Chehalis county. It is easy enough to slide it into the deep waters of the creek with the Siwash name, and easy again to float it down to tidewater at Grays Harbor, but there its troubles begin.
 The tree is 225 fet long and IA feet in diameter al the butt. It is too long to be handled on railroad Hat car, ana too big at the base to clear the 1 tunnels along the route. Also there is no steamer plying between Puget Sound and Grays Harbor large enough to carry it.
 Government contractors who are working on the jotty at the Harbor have offered to transport a 125-foot section of it to Seattle on one of their ! huge harges, and 1t is likely that, in inc end, this will prove the solution of the difficulty, although considerable danger will threaten such an under taking by reason of the long winter tow on tho PaciGr between the two harbOrs.
 The tree will be made one of the features of the nuge forestry exhibit which the Exposition will show.

one of the recently discovered veins in the Panama valley was sold last Fall to q local syndicate for $S0O0O. A de- veopment company was organized a stamp mill and other machinery has been installed. and the firts tests of the ore in bulk have yielded sufficient take out more than the amount of their original investment in the first two years of operation. With these facts in mind, 1t might occur to some body after while that perhaps the quartz veins in the Nome region are worth a little investigation.

MAN NOW BELIEVES In SPIRITS
Double of 7ridegroom-to-B Mistaken
for Dead Man-Father Of Girl
Learns Story of His Death
Is True.

Washington.-The most interesting
case of the naturalization of a de-
parted spirit was recently narrated IN
this city by DR.. Edward Rafael Ct
Paris, who stated that he is cognizant
Of the facts.
Louis Lozier was the intimate friend
Of Jean Lozier of Marseilles, and they
were friends from boyhood until ma
ture manhood, although they were
not related by consanguinity. Louis
Lozier went to India when he was 81
years of age, and there remained until
he died. Correspondence between
them was never interrupted. Louis
soon became the father of a boy, who
was christened after his father. Three
years later, Jean Lozier became the IA
Their of girl, who was named for her
mother.
Twenty years elapsed, and those
Lozier friends meantime arranged for
the marriage of their children, Louis
and Eugene. AS they grew to youth
and maturity, the young folks began
an intimacy by correspondence, which
ripened into love.
Louis Lozier died in Calcutta one
week before the date set for his son
to depart for Paris; all arrangements
having been made for young Louis to
bring back his bride with him.
The death of the elder Louis Lozier
caused postponement of the wedding
plans for almost six months. During
that time constant correspondence
continued.
Louis Lozier finally left Calcutta fol
Paris. On the steamer he became &C
quainted with Edward Parsons, a
young Englishman of mis- own age, and
they resembled each other even more
than the average twins do; so much SO

Crosses Ice Jams Clad in Socks.

Spokane, Wash.-Rather than back
out of a proposition made to fellow
workers, Ellsworth Hollenbeck of
Wenatchee, an employe of the C. & o.
Steamship Company. crossed the Co
lumbia river on the ice jams the other
afternoon clad in pair of socks.
The thermometer registered ten de-
srees below zero. The river is 400
yards wide.
While discussing the weather with
friends Hollenbeck laughed, saying he
would cross the river clad in a necktie
for five dollars to prove himself ac-
customed to Manitoba climate" The
money was put up. Hollenbeck
jumped from a wharfboat on to the
thin ice, which broke and precipitated
him into the icy waters.

times, but reached the goal and re-
turned, soaked and bruised in numer.

DRESSING JACKET MUCH LIKED
In Flowered Silk or Else Imported
ChaIIie Design.

An easily made dressing jacket has
two widths of silk going over the
shoulders and falling down the arms
to the elbow. The two strips separate
at the neck and come almost together
at the bust, where they are caught
with loop of silk cord. The backs
are Joined by bit of braiding or a
fancy stitch, worked with heavy silk
floss. Over the shoulders goes a two
or three inch strip of plain silk, which
is ornamented with fancy stitching,
and the same strip is continued down
the front, as well as across the sides
and bottom, the ends of the two widths
having a silk fringe finish. Flowered
silk would make a charming little
house or bedroom jacket, while the
imported challie designs are perfect
for this use. The jacket is so simple
in line, yet has such graceful folds,
that it is sure to find favor among
women who revel in boudoir dainti.

that they were mistaken, the one for
the other, by their fellow passengers.
lnasmuch as young Parsons was going
to Paris before going to London he
went with Lozier and registered at the
same hotel with him. They arrived at
ten O'Clock in the morning, took ad-
joining rooms. and, after breakfast, sat
down for smoke and chat. Within
an hour young Lozier died of acute
indigestion and heart failure.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Parsons
set out TO call on Jean Lozier and
state the unfortunate condition of af-
fairs. He was received with open
arms by Jean Lozier. his wife and the
beautiful Eugene. and they did not
give him opportunity to state his mis-
sion. To them he was Louis" ana
as such he was obliged to accept their
attentions. at least for a time, until
he could break the news to them.
Each passing minute made it harder
for him to do the self-imposed duty:
and after dinner he began to invent
excuses for getting out of his predica,
ment; but he was at a loss for any
successful ruse, until bedtime came,
when he excused himself most posi-
lively, stating that it would be abso-
lutely impossible for him to remain.
Jean LoZier earnestly insisted upon
his real reasons for declining the hos
pitality. and he said:

With these words. he bowed and de-
parted. Jean Lozier said that his pros

like joking on so grave a subject. The
next day he made inquiry, and found
that the story was true In every par.

FLOWERS TRIM FUR TUReANs.
Bunch of Brilliant Red Velvet Gerani.
ums Adorn Turban of Ermine.

A cluster of gardenias with their
glossy green foliage is often the only
trimming, and roses of gold tissue are
much used upon the darker furs, two
or three of them being tucked into the
fur at the left side. One very effective
French turban in ermine was trimmed
in glowing bunch of velvet gerani-
ums shading from brilliant red to
pink, and on another white turban
was posed one huge purple orchid.
In addition to the round shapes there
are many fur turbans slightly boat
shaped, though even these, while be-
ing longer than they are wide, must
come down well over the head and so
of necessity have considerable width.
Some excellent scarf and bow effects
are achieved in connection with these
models-and, indeed, with the round
turban also-and when they are be-
coming these shapes, adorned with
knots or fatty applied bows of white
supple satin or metallic tissue, with
probably pendant ends finished in
fringle or balls, are tremendously chic

Even on the best gowns one sees

1t must not be worn at the waist

They are worn at the top OF the

than the shoulder blade at the back.
They are five or six inches round, and
studded with immense stones.

HooDoo DOG is IN POUND.
Hard-Luck Jersey Pet Has Record as
Trouble Maker.

New York.-Aften ten official at
tempts to lose him, No. 13, the hard
luck dog of the police department of
Elizabeth, N. j., has been disposed of
finally, and the force has heaved a COL
lective sigh of relief.
No. 13 drifted into police headquar-
ters on stormy night two years ago,
and he had never appeared there
since without bringing a hurry call
for the patrol wagon for a fire or
other trouble. Old offenders who
were followed into the courtroom by
No. 13 always got the limit from the
judge.
One day recently No. IL lay down
against the door of the city vault in
the comptroller's Office, and on the fol-
lowing morning experts had to be
called in to open the huge door and re-
arrange the lock mechanism. Work
men said the floor had settled, but
the city hall staff knew better. Later
No. Is moped into Chief Of Po-
lice Tenny's Office, and in ten min
utes there was a general alarm of
fire.
No. IL was then turned over to the
dog catcher, but he escaped, and had
just settled himself behind Sergt.
Gerstung's chair when there was a ST.
multaneous call for the patrol and
the fire department. This was the
last straw, and the dog catcher was
ordered to do his worst.
