TTALF a dozen resolutions authoriz-
ii ing acceptance of gifts by Ameri-
can military men and diplomatic Of
ficers from foreign rulers were turned
down last session by the house com
mittee on foreign affairs. Accom-
panying the rejection was a report
tending to discourage any such efforts
in the future.
In strong language the committee
pointed out that the provision OF the
constitution prohibiting the accept
ance of such gifts by Americans in
official life was drawn wisely by the
fathers of the country in the interest
of the integrity and perpetuity of the
republic. Underlying the prohibition
is the thought that those accepting
such gifts would be under more or
less obligation to the giver. and to

A BOATING Dinner,

This dinner was given by coterie
Of four couples who had passed great
part of the summer together yachting
on the great lakes. The occasion was
in the nature of little farewell to the
one they called commodore" The
table was lovely and had for the CEN
ter lake made first by the tinsmith,
who concocted a circle about three
feet in circumference, which was sur
rounded with a border of ferns, vines
sail boats and a toy launch floated as
natural as life, manned by cute doll
sailors. To add to the festive appear
ance there was huge Japanese um-
brella over the table, from which
small lanterns hung from every rib;
they were lighted by electric lamps.
At each place there was tiny canoe,
with a very small Jap lantern at the
bow. The name of the guest was let
tered on the side. Wee paddles paint
ed white were stacked bayonet fashion
at each place and held a small pail of
bon-bons. The name flag Of the boats
were around the room with the Union
Jack and the Stars and Stripes. The
guests were asked to come in fiannels
and 1t was just the jolliest kind of a
time. The menu was as nautical as the
market could afford, beginning with
oysters, fish, lobster salad, etc.

A Novel Amusement for Children.

At a recent party for youngsters
from nine to eleven" they had a soap
bubble contest First the hostess gave
each child sheet Of colored crepe pa
per and a needle and thread. A
grown-up took each pipe and quickly
drew face on the back of the bowl
and the children were told to make
dolls of them. A couple of prizes were
offered and it was surprising what at
tractive creations were turned out.
The boys did just about as we'll as the
girls. The pipe babies were taken
home as souvenirs. There were favors
for the soap bubble contest, too.

A Wild Aster Luncheon.

The lovely wild aster furnished the
key note to one of the prettiest lunch
cons l ever attended. This = dainty
flower is very common, and really it
is very beautiful. With it always
comes the golden rod, as they grow
usually in close proximity. For table
centerpiece there was a low green
pottery bowl containing a flower hold
er, SO that the blossoms branched out
in charming manner. The doilies
were white, with finger bowl and tum-
bier doilies having embroidered de-
signs in lavender. First we had iced
grape juice in tall glasses resting on
doilies of grape leaves. Then there
was the usual luncheon menu with a
delicious grape juice sherbet for des-
sert, decorated with candied violet
leaves, the plates set in a wreath of
.asters. The rooms were lavishly dec
GRATED with golden rod, and the COM
bination of lavender asters and the
brilliant yellow was very effective.

A Pillow Shower.

a Pillow shower.
This was not given for a bride, but
for two girls who were going away
to school. To furnish their joint sit
ting room was the idea of the home
girls who gave it. The result was q
fine collection of useful and ornamen-
tai pillows or cushions, from those for
the couch to dainty CONNECTIONS of dot
ted swiss and ribbon for the dressing
table. There were also cushions filled
with pins of all sizes and with needles.
There were denim cushions large
enough to sit on when placed on the
floor, and what girl does not adore sit
ting on the floor in front of the fire
and dream long, happy dreams Of the
days that are yet to come? A BRIDE
elect who heard of the affair said she
thought such a downpour would be
very acceptable, SO the readers who
have been asking for something new
in the way of showers may adapt this

Senator Borah in the course of his
speech also said that "the author Of
the income tax amendment more than
any other man is Elihu Root of New
York" and he spoke of the corpora
ton tax as 'the infamous subterfuge, -
replacing the income tax.
Mr.. Guthrie in combating the state
ments that a direct tax by apportion-
ment according to population would
work injustice to the western states
said:
"The 1 8 original states own 40 per
cent of the wealth of the country and
they have 3S per cent of the popula-
ton. Where is the injustice of appor-
tionment of direct tax among the
states? Mr.. Root says take the risk

SHORT LINE BUYS LOTS.
Make Heavy Real Estate Purchases
At Glenns Ferry.

GLENNS FERRY, March 30.-
The Northwestern Lands company
has just closed a big cash deal with
the Oregon Short Line railroad,
whereby the railroad company be-
comes the owner of AZ lots on the
south side of the tracks at Glenns
Ferry, comprising all of blocks 2S, 20
and 80. Deeds for this property were
made out in the name of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad company on Fri
day last. so that the big transfer has
been perfected
1t is also understood that the rail-
road company is considering the pur-
chase of another entire block in the
original townsite, adjoining its pres
ent yards. This unexpected deal is
taken as pointing to the probable
intention af the Short Line to fur
ther increase its present facilities at
Glenns Ferry by the construction of
additional shops on the property Just
taken over.
An impetus was given to local real
estate transactions by this purchase,
as it is taken as evidence of the pIr-
pose of the railroad to make Glenns
Ferry a permanent division point
and equip it with every facility in
the way of shops, coaling devices,
trackage, etc.
With active work going on in the
building and improving of the road
from Glenns Ferry to Jarbidge, the
frequent departure of outfits for the
gold camp. the opening up of the
King Hill and Medbury tract and the
general activity in building and real
estate transactions in the town, the
coming season promises to be the
best and most prosperous in the his
I tory of Glenns Ferry.

DOUBLE HANGING
FOR CONVICTS
FRED GRUBNER AND JOHN FLENI-

SAME DAY.
Executions will Take Place on Fri

Death Penalty Since Fred Seward

BOISE, March 3O.-The first
double hanging since the state peni-
tentiary was established in Boise will
take place Friday May 20, when John
Fleming of Lincoln county and Fred
Grubner of Kootenai county will pay
the death penalty for the crime of
murder in the first degree. Both
executions are scheduled to take place
between the hours of a. m. and

near Rupert, and Grubner is the self
confessed slayer of John Billings at
Occur d'Alene last fall.
Judge Robert n Dunn sentenced
Grubner two weeks ago, and Judge e.
A. Walters fixed the same date for the
execution of Fleming while sitting at
Shoshone yesterday.
Gruber, who is said to be without
funds, manifests an Indifference as to
his fate, but prison officials state he
has consulted his attorneys and a
motion for a new trial will be made,
laying the foundation for an appeal,
should it be denied, and necessitating
delay. Petitions seeking clemency
will be filed with the state board of
pardons in Fleming's behalf and a
determined effort made by wealthy
relatives living in the middle west
to have his sentence commuted to life
Imprisonment, his case having been
carried to the court of last resort.
Warden Shook stated last night
that should the dates remain un-
changed, the executions would in all
probability take place from the same
scaffold. one after the other, as there
is but one trap available, and to con
duct them simultaneously would nee
essitate the erection of a second
scaffold.
The last execution at the Idaho
penitentiary was that of Fred Seward
May z, 1909. Fleming was prisoner
at the institution at that time under
death sentence. Commenting on tn,
hanging, he said:
Il am getting tired of this fiddlinl
around; if they are going to do bust
ness with me, / wish they would be
about it"
He has at all times declined the
ministrations of the spiritual adviser
at the prison and steadfastly refuses
to attend services.

Sunday night from Occur d'Alene il
custody of Travelling Guard Acklel
and Deputy Warden Rich. He, too
/ is reported to be hardened to his fate
