HOW TWO NEW STATES
WILL ENTER TIE UNION
New Flag viii Have Forty
Eight Stars.

Washington, D. c., June 22.-The bill
that has been signed WITH so much
ceremony, by the president, providing
for the admission of Arizona and New
Mex. co as states, is merely an enabling
act. Under its terms, the Territor-
les of New Mexico and Arizona VIII
have to pass through a series of poltt-
Zeal acts before they are admitted TO
the Union. 1t is possible that more
than two years will elapse before the
actual admission There is a likeH-
hood that the new states will not be
ready to participate as such in the
election of the next President in 1912.
Now the bill is signed the Cove
nors of the Territories must call the
constitutional conventions. The dele
gates to each constitutional conven-
ton will be elected by the voters of the
Territory The call for this election
must issue not less than sixty or more
than ninety days from the approval Of
the act. Then there will be S Xty DAYS
before the.call of the convention. Tive
law provides chat the delegates viii
be paid for but sixty days Of the ST.
tings of the convention. This is wish
view to getting the new organic law
of the two States framed within that
period.
Following the drafting Of the State
constitution, at the end of another
sixty days there win be a general Tey-
ritorial election to ratify the constitu-
ton The Governor will then certify
the action taken with a copy of the
constitution to the President and Con-
gress, Both President and Congress
must approve the const tuion adopted.
On the first independence Day fol-
lowing the actual admission of the
new States the field of the American
flag win undergo a change. In place
of the forty-six stars now appearing
there will be forty-eight For the first
time for more than a generation the
stars will appear in a perfect parallel
ogram-eight stars across the top and
six stars deep. Mreretofore it has been
problem to arrange the stars SYM
metrically Now the number forty
eight 5 capable Of regular arrange
ment,

"A PECULIAR GENIUS"
SAYS "HOOSIER POET .

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. April 22.--
'lt 10 hard to imagine Mark Twain At
dead man. He was keenly alive and
human" said James Whitcomb Riley,
the Hoosier poet, at his home here
to-day.
Mark Twain was peculiar genius.
While a Jealous scholar it was told
of him that he could not learn In
school. He had to take the books
and dig learning from between their
covers. ~
II first met Mark Twain when 1
was with BIZ Nye, about twenty years
ago in Boston. Twain was very fonu
of Nye At late supper one night
Twain was Interrupted while telling IA
story ny The arrival of telegram.
After glancing at the message he ex-
cused the delay and finished the story
to splendid ending. Then checking
the laughter the hunorfst said: And
now | want to read you this telegram
which tells me that my invention or
"a typesetting machine has succeeded
and is in operation for the first time
tonight.

ESTATE r. - THOUGHT
TO EXCEED 100000

NEW YORK. April 22.-~Accordins
10 members OF the firm Of Harper
& Brothers, Mark Twain's publishers
of late years. the noted humorist died
a very wealth man, worth probably
$1,000, 600 or more. even after he had
sacrificed one great fortune to pay
the debts OF a failed publishing firm
in which he was financially interested.
"A rough ostlmnter--and by no
means accurate--if the number OF
Mr. Clemens books that have been
published in America alone would be
between 5000, 900 and 5,500,oo0. said
member ot the Harper firm to-day.
Mr. Clemens works have been trans
lated into many tongues; how many
We do not know.
1T has been truly said that Mark
Twain received more per word for his
ttUries and higher royalties for them
in book form than any itying author.
MIR Clemens income was enormous
II late years. With large sum OF
ready money always at his command
it is probable that such bosom friends
