Bodies of Thirty Dead.

Seattle.-The bodies Of 30 victims of
the avalanche at Wellington, which
wiped out of existence two passenger
trains and killed more than 100 persons,
reached here Saturday night, having
been brought down the mountainside by
means of sleds and ropes. Deputy Cor
oner Borthwiel1 wired to Coroner Sny-
der from wellington:
"Terrible storm raging. Impossible
to keep trail open. All bodies in safe
places. Work of recovery stopped by
storm. All injured doing well, Plenty
provisions here. VIII leave with is
more bodies soon as possible to start. -
Coroner Snyder has returned from the
scene of the avalanche with two grim
reminders of the catastrophe in the
form of grips containing diamonds
watches and cash to the value of more
than $4,000, taken from the bodies OF
the slide victims. Each valuable j:
tagged and catalogued, and upon proper
showing viii be turned over to rela
tiyes of the dead.

At intervals for a great many years
past there have been agitations in favor
OF the taking over of the telegraph
service by the post Office department,
as in foreign countries. In several for
eign countries the telephone service is
also governmental and connected with
the post Office. We are now looking
on in this country at 3 great amalgam-
alton of telegraph and telephone facili-
ties. If the vast monopoly thus form
ing shows an enlightened spirit, the re-
suit may be improved and cheapened
service for the people, both of kilograms
and messages by telephone. Such a
monopoly would have to come under
public regulation, and it would be espe-
cially adapted to the kind of oversight
provided in the new federal incorpon-
ton bill introduced in congress last
month. The evolution of this great
unified service of swift intelligence
must require a considerable time. But
ultimately it is not unlikely that post
Office department developed on thor
ough-going business lines may Absorb
the united telegraph and telephone
service. All of this lies in the future
but it is well to look forward some
times and consider our probable ten
dencies.-From "The Progress of thu
World" in the American Review o.

How many clerks know how to lace a
shoe correctly9 The great majority be-
lieve that the lacing of a shoe has but
little to do with the sale, and yet no
duty is more important TO lace a shoe
snug and do it quickly is a difficult art
to many. The laced shoe should, before
the customer passes judgment upon it,
be without twist in the cord and bow
from vamp to shoe top. The bow should
lay fiat with the knot horizontal. Prac-
tice has made many "A clerk an expert

these self-same touches of lace and bow,
says Boot and Shoe Recorder.
In the high shoe, insert the ends and
pull the first loop snug and without
twist, and at the same time make the
ends of uniform length Lace up over
the instep with the cross stitch, then to
the hooks and shoe top. Practice will
make every strand lay perfectly fiat.
Some prefer the loop style of lacing
where each brace of eyelets are gripped
by the cord horizontally. This method
is prettier, but takes more time to do
The preliminary loop is made, then one
end of the lace is inserted in one of the
upper eyelets and drawn short, while
the other and longer end is looped hori
zontally, under and over, to the top OF
the instep, then laced over the hooks
as before.
The bow, most difficult of ALL is the
essential feature of an attractive foot

Figure in National Politics.

Thomas Collier Platt, the "easy
boss of earlier and brighter days, was
for many years not only the republican
leader of his state but figure in ma
tional politics shoulder to shoulder with
men of such rank and reputation as the
late Matthew Stanley Quay of Pennsyl-
vania.
In "Twenty Years in Congress, -
James G.. Blaine described Plat as a
business man of great personal popu-
larity. He has an aptitude for public
affairs and is a man of strong influence
in his state lie is no debater, but has
strong, common sense and quick judg-
ment of men,
let with all his native judgment,
wide experience and skill as an organ
zer, it became the fate of Plat to win
remembrance more for his association
with others than for anything he did
of his own initiative.
Twice in his life Platt was the center
of the national stage-once when he re-
signed with Roscoe Conkling from the
United States senate and was instantly
nicknamed "Me Too" Platt and once
when he induced Theodore Roosevelt tc
