The Late Senator Daniel.

The Virginian unquestionably resent
ed Tfllman and some other represen-
tatives OF the new political order in
the south.
Once, when the South Carolinian
had transgressed in speech, as at one
time It was his habit to transgress,
Daniel rose and said: 1.-THE senator
from South Carolina is offensive when
he debates with gentlemen"
Tillman redeemed, struggled with
himself a moment, and then-apolo-
gized. The Carolinian knew when a
rebuke was deserved, and even II 1t
were put into words that carried In
situation and sting he was humble in
answer when once the heat had
passed.
In the Civil war the virginian was
chief of staff to Gen. Jubal A. Early.
His third wound was received at the
battle of the Wilderness and for the
rest of his days he was compelled to
walk with crutches. In the corridor
off the senate chamber one day Sena-
tor Daniel met Gen. Oliver O. Howard,
who had lost an arm in battle Daniel
looked at Towards empty sleeve and
said: II didn't do it,
Howard looked down at Daniels
crippled foot and said: II didn't do it."
Daniel said: eff you had done 1t and
l had done it, we would still shake
hands" And they shook hands.

term as United States senator from

speak Of the Louisianan as a Demo.

ures.
This was true only in a. limited
sense, but because the Republican leg.
islation which McEnery favored was
in the main of prime national impor-
lance the prominence given his de-
lection led to the general belief that
he was at all times out of sympathy
with his party.
Senator Culberson of Texas was the
Democratic leader in the senate when
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was under
debate.
Like Daniel, McEnery was a soldier
| of the Confederacy. He was a states
rights Democrat Notwithstanding his
boiling from the party fold when the
greater protection lure was strong. He
was likeable man and his Democrat.
ic colleagues did not hold personal re.
sentiment because of occasional and
temporary voting af1liation with the

Washington Spreading Out.

TWo-thirds of the increase In tax as
sessment of real property In Mont
gomery county, Md, In the past year
is attributed to the growth of Wash
ington, which has passed the bounds
of the District and gone over into the
adjoining territory of Maryland. The
returns of the assessed value OF prop
erty in Montgomery county show a TO-
tai increase of over 100000, as COM
pared with that of the preceding year.
Two-thirds comes from the apprecia-
ton in the value of property In the
Bethesda and Wheaton districts, the
former comprising the territory along
the Rockville road and the latter that
along what is the maryland extension
of Georgia avenue. In both of these
sections in the past year there has
been a good deal of building, and for
the most part to meet the demands
that came from people whose business
and other interests are In Washington,
who wanted homes in those localities.
In consequence, houses have been put
up, farm lands have been laid off into
building sites and these changes are
reflected naturally in the enhanced
values in the books of the tax assess

GUARD FOR THE MONEY VAN
Seven Million Dollars In Cash and
Stamps Transferred Daily From
the Engraving Bureau.

Washingtonians were recently
treated to new sight and they are
pretty we'll used to sights too It Ia
the newly organized money guard. :"
There is brand new, great big, shiny
black van; in fact, it looks like Black
Maria, but is specially designed to
transport the millions of stamps and
money from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing to the treasury. It Is so
wide that seven men can sit abreast
on seat at the near outside. and they
look like young arsenal when they
perch themselves up there ready for
trip. Behind them, on full-blooded
horse, rides Director Ralph himself.
and all clad in brand-new bright uni
forms with their white caps, they are
gorgeous-looking lot.
Peter r. Kelly mounted on fast
horse pilots the van from the bureau
of engraving and printing to the treas.
ury department. Every man Of the
van guard has been sworn in as a
special policeman and will wear the
silver shield.
The vehicle which is to be SO thor
oughly guarded in the future carries
daily to the treasury $4,000 900 in bank
notes, certificates and stamps. OF this
amount 100000 is in silver certia-
Gates, 100000 in national bank
notes, s1,5o0,000 in postage stamps
and 100000 in internal revenue
stamps.

conuueror. It was not the first f1ht
of his life for his life. He was thrice
wounded in the Civil war, through
which he went to the end, in the army
of the Confederacy. Four months
previous to his death the attending
physicians said that their patient
would die within "a hours. He said
he would live and he began the battle
which went his way until a second
stroke Of paralysis came and weak
ened the vital forces SO that they were
unable to respond to the will of the
old soldier.
Senator Daniel always was conser-
vative. 1t Is true that he was touched
with the silver "heresy," but it was
the belief Of most Virginians that
party loyalty and the fixed habit Of
following the leader were responsible
for the espousal of cause in which
neither head nor heart were engaged.
Under the floor leadership of others
Daniel was one Of the men strong in
senatorial counsel. He always was
consulted and he shaped the course of
his party in the upper house on many
occasions. He was an engaging
speaker who adopted at times the
methods which made southern oratory
distinct
Daniel under all circumstances was
courteous In debate. On only rare &C.
casions would he lose control of him
ee1f and then 0n1v when other men
would have lost all reason in speech.

edging is laid about the brim falling
over the edge about the depth Of the
scallop. In such a hat the crown Is
made by sewing two rows of edging
together and making a small pulled
crown of them. A band and bow of
wide ribbon and cluster of familiar
garden flowers finishes the hat, which
is quite as satisfactory when made at
home as when made elsewhere.
If narrow edging, Of lace or en-
broidery, is used it Is sewed row on
row and quite often the under brim is
faced with scant ruffles sewed In tho
same way. Very sheer batiste or 9TH
er embroidery Is often laid in full
double ruff1e over the brim, for girlish
wearers.
The lingerie hat, by the way, Is
worn by maid and matron alike. 1t
has been called the baby hat be-
cause it was first made for little girls
when they graduated out of bonnets
and took on the dignity of hats built
on frame. 1t Is durable and beauti-
full and may be taken apart and the
materials laundered Study the I'm

It has come to stay.

Warm Weather Sleeves.

Undoubtedly the short sleeves are
here, and 1t Is delightful to couple
comfort with the new STYLE
In blouses the sleeves come Just be-
low the elbow and are edged with a
turned-back cuff or a plated frill of
net or sheer linen.
A latitude that should appeal to
every woman is allowed in the matter
of fulness. The kimono sleeve, gath
cred into straight band, with no full
ness at the shoulder, vies with the
slightly full pattern with its gathers
at the armhole. Then, again, there Is
a closely-fitting French monarchy

Illness is decidedly a point In favor OF
the short sleeves.

phia boys from the Wanamaker Com
mercial institute were presented to
Speaker Cannon in his private room
at the Capitol, shortly before congress
adjourned, and the speaker in his it,
tie talk to these kids told them some
things that made them open their
eyes, and there isn't bit of doubt in
the world that what Speaker Cannon
said will make whole lot Of people
open their eyes:
IT had to endure the grind when I
was boy, back on the Wabash" said
Mr. Cannon, "just as you boys have to
do it today, but learned then to live
within my income, and l have kept up
that practise ever since. II you keep
within your incomes now you will be
able to do it when you are man, and
thus you can save little for rainy
day"
The speaker time told an interesting
story about his own daily routine.
How, when his daughter was away
and the house was closed, he got his
breakfast at little restaurant across
from the treasury. He added: Five
cents for a cup of coffee, five cents
more for an egg sandwich, good COT
fee and good, clean egg, and as
wholesome roll as you could get
anywhere; that makes cost Of 10
cents, but sometimes If want little
more buy an orange, and that adds
five cents more to the breakfast cost.
Now, am not too proud to get that
kind of a breakfast, and feel better
for 1t, and more able to do the hard
days work that I still have to do
than If I had dined at the SWEETEST
hotel in the world"
How many government clerks who
are earning salary Of 5000 year
are willing to live as plainly as Uncle
Joe does? You will find more Of
them spending so cents for breakfast,
Is cents for lunch and 81 for dinner
than you will find living on so cents

90 MANY girls are trying their
hands upon hat making at home
that a few examples Of those hats
which are likely to be most success
full in the hands Of the amateur, are
interesting just now. These are the
hats made of embroidery or lace or
Swiss and batiste which have come
to be staple for midsummer, and are
known as lingerie" hats. New models
this year show many fabrics which
have not been used heretofore. Fine
dimities, lawns and mills, In fact any
sheer, pretty midsummer material,
such as are used for midsummer
gowns, is considered available for the
lingerie hat. The prettiest models
show combinations Of all-over en-
broidery and the materials have
mentioned.
The safest designs for the amateur
are those made of edgings of lace or
embroidery, either wide or narrow.
All the hats are made over wire
frames which are first covered with
very sheer null or with chiffon. This
first covering is either shirred over
the frame or made into a fitted casing
for the brim and laid smoothly over
the crown. A scant ruffle Of wide

WEAR HAT IN HOT WEATHER
important for the Girl Who Has q
Dislike for Hair Of Different
Shades.

Do you want streaked hair of II
different shades when next autumn
comes around?
If you do not you must make up
your mind to wear hat during the
summer
A bother, you say? OF course. Did
you ever know anything connected
with keeping fresh that wasn't a
bother?
And 1t is not half as hard as spend
ing time and money later getting over
the effects of sunburnt hair.
Too strong a dose of sun acts on the
hair by drying natural oils in the
scalp and then burning just as a hot
fatiron scorches linen
If 1t is impossible for you to wear a
hat, oil must be rubbed regularly into
the scalp to counterfeit this drying
effect
Remember that the most beautiful
hair in the world comes from the
peasant women of Brittany, who keep
their heads covered with their little
white caps.

capitaI Wants Convention,

To concentrate all their efforts to
secure the 1912 convention of the
grand sovereign lodge Of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows, local men,
bers have abandoned the idea of OBJ
tanning the 1911 convention.
Last year tentative plans were made
to obtain the convention in 1911. This
years convention will assemble in
Atlanta, Ca, next September and the
Washington delegates had Intended
to make strong fight for the next
convention. The grand lodge has
never met In Washington.
The Washington members, 200
strong, will make the journey to At
lanta In the fall, however, and will
impress it upon the convention that
Washington has withdrawn from the
race this year In order to insure this
city the convention In 1912.

a Summer Coat.

A simple but beautiful coat for wear
over a lingerie gown in the summer
evenings is OF black chiffon, cut three
quarter length and slashed at the
sides. the slashings being connected
by taffeta silk tabs. The half sleeves
are slashed and caught in the same
manner, and in front-the neck Is cut
very low-the only fastening is a tas-
sci Of silver cord. All the edges are
embroidered in a wave design In the
silver. The chiffon may be mounted
over light taffeta silk, and net may be
substituted as the coat material. This
wrap may sound difficult to make. but
it is not SO; and with the help of a
lucky remnant OF two the expense will
be slight

With the return Of warm weather
the fashion has swerved back to Irish
lace collars. We will wear more of
them this summer than for years. The
girl in her new suit has mostly Irish
lace around the neck. For this reason
she wears four-inch Irish lace collar
around her coat and a four or six inch
one around her blouse, which Is col
larless. This collar dips down for an
inch in front and is finished with a
plated jabot of Irish lace and linen.

A Strong Endorsement
For Hon. VIM. Bishop


1t speaks we'll for the splendid Re-
publicanism of the editor Of the
Port Angeles Tribune-1imes, who
was candidate at the recent pri-
mary election for the nomination
for joint senator and who felt, in
common with hundreds of other Re-
publicans of the district, that his
county was justly entitled to the
nomination, that he is giving his
earnest support to his successful
competitor, Hon. VIM. Bishop, of
jefferson county.
Billy" Bishop has many personal
friends in this county, especially on
Lopez island, where he spent his
early childhood. No man is better
acquainted with the district and its
needs. He has resided in each of
the three counties and has been for
many years prominent in lines Of
business which have contributed
most to the settlement and develop
ment of the district.
Under the heading "Our Next
Joint Senator, " the Tribune-Times
says Of him:
'sMr. Bishop is a commanding
person in this district where his
name is universally a household
word, due wholly to his achieve
ments in almost every phase of his
home life and business life. A
practical logger, a successful farm
er and dairyman, wonderful breed
er of registered cattle and asuccess-
full man in every undertaking in
which he has engaged himself. His
judgment and business tact, splendid
energy, broad intelligence and clean
record most forcibly stand out be-
fore the public as the clearest Of re-
commentators.
His record as a legislator has
few equals. For four terms he has
served his native county ia the legis-
lative halls in Olympia, where his
many qualifications placed him IN
the vanguard Of workers for the
plain people. He is a plain man, a
part of the fabric of his district,
broad-minded, many ny-sided. and full
of the spirit of industry and honesty.
Mr.. Bishop desires to be genuinely
usful. He has a big capacity for
that one characteristic and never
turns deaf ear to a worthy cause.
His wide acquaintanceship through
out the state is wonderful lever
age for work in the senate Of this
state and he respectfully solicits the
suffrages of the voters Of the entire
district"

Demand For Apples
Has Been Strong

The demand for apples during the
past few days has steadily increased,
and the conditions in the market are
very favorable from the grower S
standpoint. The buyers are coming
into the Pacific northwest from
every direction and it is a recog-
nized fact that the best apples Of
the country are to be found here.
The Chicago Daily Fruit Bulletin
has summed up the situation as fol-
lows:
There is no uncertainty as to the
prices that box apples will move out
at this year. The big movement is
now on. When N. G. Gibson of the
Gibson Fruit Company sold 500 cars
of Wenatchee valley fruit about ten
days ago this started the ball a-roll-
ing, and while some Of the wise ones
refused to pay the price short time
ago, they are now paying Is to rs
cents more than they could have
bought at early. 1t would not be
surprising to see within a few days
the commonest kind of fruit going
at prices at which the cream could
have been purchased but a few days
ago. This may sound like bullish
news but the buying is on in earnest,
and there are several large operators
that are laying in supplies, and
there are numerous little dealers
that are quietly buying a car here
and there. The question is not will
these apples make profit, for they
likely will, but it is a question of
getting in on some good fruit Of the
best quality at the lowest values,
not holding off and taking what is
left"
