A very circumspcct and consclen-
tious young miss Of four was sent into
the parlor of certain Philadelphia
household to entertain q caller for 4

"Do you know the alphabet, Marie:"
"YcS, ma'am."
"Will you say it for me?"
Marie began glibly enough, but aft

Marble Polishing.

Marble polishing IS simple and
quickly done. The cakes are carried
from the saving room and placed on
q fiat revolving iron table. The iron
brushes off the rough PARTICLES on the
surface, and the operation takes about
five minutes. Then the slab is at
tackled by man with an emery wheel.
Three grades Of emery are used, and
it's only about minute to each grade.
Next come three doses Of felt, each
time the felt growing finer in grade.
The felt is attached in layer to a
fiat wheel, spun by electricity. and as
1t huns you can see the marble be-
gin 10 sparkle. The finishing touches
are put on with the use Of n fine felt
rub, oxalic acid and oxide Of zinc.
The operator simply smears the sur
face with the mixture, gives n couple
Of minutes vigorous turn Of the wheel,
and the slab then goes to the packer

THE MACKAY DAM.

Mr.. Hawley, Democratic candidate
for governor of the state processes
to think that the deplorable condi-
tons in connection with the Macka,
dam reflect upon the administra-
ton of Governor Brady. He has
said something like that in his
speeches. and evidently hopes to
induce the people to vote against
the Governor on this ground.
Mr.. Hawley picked up live wire
when he took hold of that subject.
Who is responsible for the con-
dilions at the Mackay dam? No
other than the Democrats of the
state of IdahO-the Democratic par
ty.
Had a nnn-partisan Carey Act
Commission been appointed, as was
urged by Governor Brady at the be-
ginning of his term. with authority
TO employ high-class engineers.
such commission being charged with
the duty of personally overseeing
construction work. the trouble at
Mackay would have been prevented.
Governor Brady had just such
purpose in his mind when he re-
commended that commission and
urged it upon the legislature. He
knew it was necessary in order that
such things should not occur.
The Governor discharged his duty
but the Democratic state committee
fearful that the Governor might get
some political advantage through
commission. induced the Democra-
tic members of the state senate to
vote against the bill and thus de
Leaf the measure.
Let the Democrats face their re-
on this question. They
'annot escape from it, Their re-
ord is clear. II is they who are in
he mire on this subject not Gov
'rnor Brady.-Pocatello Tribune.

The republicans went before the
electors with the promise to pass a
local option law. They were taken
at their word and placed again in
power. The local option law was

FREUND KNEW PLOT
TO Land CHINESE
Dismissed Customs Inspector
Admits That He Deserted
Post on ManChuria

Examined under oath by Frederick S
Strstton. collector of the port. yester-
day. Charles Freund, the dismissed Gus
toms Inspector. admitted that he knew
in advance an attempt was to be made
to smuggle Chinese ashore from the
steamer Nanchuria a week ago Sunday
Freund gave as his reason for not
notifying his superiors or fellow in
spectors that he wished to capture the
smugglers and white confederates him
self and gain the honor attaching to
such a feat
Although given an opportunity to
clear himself Freund seems to have
made the case against him stronger
for he admitted that he left his post OF
duty. the stern of the Manchuria, from
1O:45 o'clock until I1:45 o'clock at night
while the seven Chinese women and
eight men were lowered from the sec
ond deck of the vessel to the small
boats moored alongside.
Freund said that he heard members
Of the crew of the Manchuria discuss
ing the plot on a previous trip and
was in readiness to intercept them, but
his hours absence from duty gave the
orientals the opportunity to slip away
without bothering about him.
The customs authorities believe that
Freund is not telling the truth or that
he is implicated in the smuggling OF
Chinese and opium into the country
He told, though not very distinctly, ot
having been warned of several schemes
to slip Chinese ashore but refused OF
