Completing the park.

OUHpIeIIHS the park.
Willie Fowler tells me that by the
time the Nationals return here next
week 1t is expected that the work of
roofing the stands at National park will
be well under way.
Already the steel uprights in the
right field pavilion are in place. ard
as soon as the covering is completed
the work will be shifted 10 the grand
stand. Bv the TIME the club gets back
from its Western trip the bfz stand
should be entirely shaded.
The canvas in the back has been a
big help during the hot spell, but as
soon as the permanent roof is ready
there should be a marked increase in
the attendance.

Why Didn't Martin Send For Smith

Washington, July 27.-Surprise was
expressed by Democratic Senators to-
day when it was learned that Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, probably
would not be in Washington in time
to qualify and vote on the wool bill.
The desirability of having him here,
in view of the prospect Of a close
vote, had been canvassed among the
leaders Tuesday and there was an
understanding on the part Of some
that Senator Martin, chairman OF the
Democratic caucus, was to telegraph
him to be present. Some Senators
were so assured on this point that
they stated to newspaper men that
such a message had been sent. When
it became known at last nights eau
Gus that Mr.. Martin had not felt au.
thorized to act, SENATOR Reed intro
duced a resolution in the Democratic
caucus declaring it the sense of the
| meeting that the Georgia Senator
l'should be in his seat No action was
| taken, however.

Ottawa. Ont, July 26.-The great

American and Canadian reciprocity in

debate The decision of Premier Lau-

election and appeal to the people
leaves only in question the time Of

The Senate will not convene until
August 9th. For this reason it is not
considered likely that a decision will
come before that date, though the

To Strengthen Sherman Law.

Washington, July PA resolution
by Senator Clapp gives authority to
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, of which he is chairman,
to conduct a searching inquiry into
the operation of the law and to make
recommendations to the Senate Of
any changes it may think necessary
relating to the creation and control
of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce"
This followed a criticism by Sena-
tor Borah, of Idaho.
Either the Sherman law is fail
ure," declared Senator Borah, wrong
in contemplation of law and inexpedi-
ent as en- economic proposition or else
there has been the most remarkable
trif1ing with the execution of the law
that has ever been noted since law
was first placed upon the statute
books to be regarded and obeyed by
man"
Mr.. Borah declared the Sherman
law had been in effect for twenty
years with four apparently simple
efficient and drastic remedies" against
illegal combination or trusts.
'Yet every one knows that the last
twenty years have been years IN
has been made by these comblna
tions, ,.~he said, "and not an embar
rassment has been placed upon them
| so far as their ultimate success was
concerned, although this simple, eff
cient and drastic law has been upon
the statute books all that time"

Old Daddy Longlegs.

Everybody is we'll acquainted with
the insect called daddy longlegs," but
not every body knows that there is evil
dence to show that this strange little
creature, towering high upon its thread
like stills, is probably a more ancient
inhabitant of America than any repre-
sentative of the human species. Far
back in tertiary time, at the very dawn
of the modern world, it's ancestors
lived, we are told, in great numbers in
that part of the continent which we
call Colorado. The fossil remains Of
these insects show the characteristic
features that mark them today, al
though new species have taken the
place of the old, for even daddy long
legs knows what evolution is and has
attained to something that in his view
is perhaps kind of civilized existence
suitable to the eXigencies of life in the
twentieth century. Harper's Weekly.

The Hunting of the Tahr.

OF all the ways of hunting surely
that of the hillmen of Carnival is the
strangest. This, according to Major
the Hon. G. G. Bruce. in Twenty
Years In the Himalayas," is their meth
cd of killing the tahr, local species
of goat: Having driven the tahr into
deep nullahs with most precipitous
sides, out of which there are certain
well known tahr runs, they proceed
to cover these runs where the ground
is most difficult with mats made of
split bamboo which have been pre-
viously well drenched in water. The
result is the mats freeze and become
as slippery as glass. Then they fright
en- the herd and drive them over these
mats, with the result that they are
precipitated from the cliffs and that
the Garhwali pick up the remains
perhaps twelve basketfuls.''

so few ever see the light of day. An
English playwright with gift of hu-
morous exaggeration illustrated this
fact to me once. He told me how he
submitted a play to celebrated ac-
tor and how in the course of the con-
versation the actor remarked:
Don't you think it is growing
chilly in this room?
Yes: it is rather the young play
wright admitted.
"Then the actor rang a bell. and a
servant forthwith appeared.
