BURKE TO AID
MARSHALL
lSReport at Washington Follow
ing Pmcell'S Appointment
COMMENT ON The DEAL
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
BELIEVES GOVERNOR HAS
AGREED TO SUPPORT MARSH
ALL WHO IN TURN is TO HELP
THE EXECUTIVE.

Washington correspondents have
various and sundry comments on the
appointment of w. E. Purcell of wah-
peton to succeed F. L. Thompson in
the United States senate.
The writer for The Minneapolis
Journal said, among other things:
1t is understood that the reason Mr..
Thompson had for keeping the resig-
nation secret was the faint hope that
his condition would improve so as to
enable him to resume his duties here.
The secrecy of the North Dakota end
of the line grew out of the unwilling
ness Of Governor Burke to run a
gauntlet such as he ran leading up to
the appointment of Thompson. Be-
tween the two, the resignation was
kept under cover, and only vague
rumors, none of them possible of sub
sanitation, got out.
Before leaving washington Mr.
Thompson drew mileage, which or
dinarily he would have drawn at the
close of the session, which act closed
up his senate connection. He drew his
salary as senator up to the end of
January, leaving his successor to take
hold with clean slate today.
Burke to Support Marshall.
An interesting rumor mas appeared
today, based on the Purcell appoint
ment. 1t is said that the appoint
ment is the outcome of deal between
Thomas F, Marshall and Governor
Burke, through which Marshall is to
support Burke for reelection as gov
ernor, or for place on tho supreme
bench, Burke in return to support
Marshall for the senate in succession
to McCumber. This rumor cannot be

at Leavenworth, Kan, this evening,
where he will start the decade sentence

Since Jan. II Jones has been held
in the county Jail while efforts were

last hope faded away when M. j. Moran

Curious Baths In Penang.

One of the many things that strike
the tourist as curious at Penang Is the
type Of baths with which the hotels
are provided. Penang Is In the Straits
settlements, British crown colony In
the Malay peninsula, deriving its name
from the straits Of Malacca, which
form the great trade route between
India and China. From each OF the
first class rooms opens dark, cement
paved, damp smelling little room
which serves as the bath. In 1t is al
immense Jar Of porous brown earth
enware about five feet high, nearly
three feet in diameter in the middle
and but one and half feet In diame-
ter at the top. It stands huge and
graceful of outline, but dark and unin-
viting, and is full to the brim with wa
ter, not, however, to get into. Near
It iare supply of soft soap and long
handled quart dipper. The proper pro-
cedure is to soap the body we'll, then
throw several dippers of water over
1t, repeating the process until salts
fed. There Is water enough to keep 1T
up for an hour or so, and there Is q
huge crash towel as large as a sheet
to wrap up in when the bath Is over

What is an Elennent2

In his little book called 'The Ele-
ments" Sir William A. Tilden defines
an element as "a substance from
which by the operation Of ordinary
chemical processes only one kind Oh
matter can be obtained" This IS some
thing quite different from the four ele-
ments Of Aristotle-fre, water, earth
and air-or the salt, sulphur and mer-
curry of the alchemists. Even In mod
ern times the conception Of what an
element really Is has changed some
what Sir William adds: Until quite
recently the elements Of the inorganic
world were supposed to be fixed, I'm
mutable with the lapse of ages or IN
der the mighty forces concerned In the
making Of worlds. But within few
years we have learned that the atoms
ut least are continually crumbling
away. It is impossible to say whether
all may not be suffering slow waste
which In the long run may lead back
to the primal chaos"

Gamecocks In Panama.

The color line Is not very distinctly
drawn In the Latin republics. The San
Bias Indians are found in and around
Panama. Like the Seminoles Of Flor
IDA, they never were conquered. A
curious feature Of native life In Pana-
ma is the cockhghting, which, like
baseball In the United States, Is more
attractive to the public than any other
form Of recreation. Even the work
men on the streets have favorite birds
tethered near by and seize every OPP
portunity to test their prowess. The
click-click Of steel spurs as the birds
strike each other, the squirting OF blood
and the clamor Of men indulglng in
small wagers seem to supply the men-
tai excitement that Spaniards find In
bullfghts and that English speaking
races derive from less brutal contests.
The hacker Of each gamecock stands
behind it, and If his bird shows signs
Of exhaustion he takes 1t up and puts
its bill into his mouth while he In

Thackeray's Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions Of himself by often indulg-
ing in irony in the presence Of people
who were incapable Of understanding
1t. One curious instance which he gave
was this: Thackeray had been dining
at the GarrIck and was talking in the
smoking room after dinner with vari-
Gus club acquaintance. One Of them
happening to have left his cigar case
at home, Thackeray, though disliking
the man, who was notorious tuft
hunter, good naturally offered him one
Of his cigars. The man accepted the
cigar, but, not finding 1t to bis liking,
had the bad taste to say to Thackeray,
1T say, Thackeray, you won't mind my
saying 1 don't think much Of this
cigar?" Thackeray, no doubt irritated
at the mans ungraciousness and bear.
ing In mind his tuft hunting predilec-
lions, quietly responded, "You ought
to, my good fellow, for 1t was given
me by q lord" Instead. however, OF
detecting the irony. the dolt immedi-
ately attributed the remark to snob-
bishness on Thackeray's part and to
the end Of bis days went about declar-
ing that "Thackeray had boosted that
he had been given cigar by a lord"

The Expense of a Wife.

A wife is q decided addition to the
demands upon ones purse. In that
sense, however sensible and managing
she may be, she Is expensive. But
everything worth having has lis price
Of one sort or another, and there are
some things which cost much without
which life Is hardly worth living.
Said Theirs: Most men contemplate
making some self denial when they
marry. They think they will give up
such and such expensive pleasures.
Later on, when they discover that they
cannot do so, and at the same time
they lack the means to indulge, they
complain that it is the extravaganza
Of their wives which causes the incon-
venience."

men in other countries besides that OF
