were meant for his ear. and SO. inter

sas senator turned slowly around. for
Mr.. Dawes sat behind him. and then.
with delicious intonation. but an in
slant wit. he said. Il was directing
my remarks to the successor Of Charles
Sumner and not to the successor Of
Daniel Webster"
The repartee has become traditional.
and the utterance was at once placed
alongside Of that reply Of Conkling
to Senator Thurman. which Is also
traditional ip the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking and Thur

all the more necessary that the mis-

The Modern Laundry Equipment.
Whenever possible tho laundry
should be a separate apartment in
even small houses. 1t may be located
in the basement "r adjoining the
kitchen: but. wherever it Is, the room
should be well lighted and we'll ven
tilated and should have good floor
and hard finished walls. There should
be no soft or porous material used in
the laundry to absorb moisture, For n
small home laundry the followin. list
of furnishings will be found sufficient:
Three or four tubs, stationary II pos

porcelain: Il good washing machine.

JEFFRiES IN FINE FORM.
Crowd Is Favorably Impressed With
Appearance Of Sig Fighter.

San Francisco. May 2S.-Giving his
second public boxing exhibition since
he began training, and making what
is said probably will be his last public
appearance before the fight on July 4.
James J. Jeffries surprised more than
1900 enthusiastic ring followers by
his apparently excellent condition and
speed when he boxed three rounds
with his brother Jack and three with
Joe Choynski at Dreamland rink.
The big fighter was fast and snappy
in action and surprisingly quick on his
feet
This, with his appearance. the utter
absence of avoirdupois and every indi-
cation that his training has put him in
fine form, made favorable impression
upon the big crowd. which howled
itself hoarsc with approval The only
adverse comment heard was that he
looked older"
