Hon. ". A. Fisher Dead.

W. A. Fisher, member of the legis-
lature from the fortieth district,
pioneer resident of Minneapolis,
proprietor of the Hotel Waverly and
member of the Hotel Mems associa-
ton, died at 3 a. m. on Tuesday at
his apartments in the hotel, after a
long illness from a complication of
diseases. He had suffered from
Bright's disease and heart trouble,
and had been confined to the house
almost since the opening of the legis-
lative session.
Mr.. Fisher was a pioneer resident
of Minneapolis and veteran of the
Eleventh Minnesota. He was born
July 7, 1916, at Belleville, ILL.,, and
came to Minnesota in 1860. He en-
listed in Company F, Eleventh Min
nesota, in August, 1864, and served to
the end of the war. He then returned
to Minnesota. In 1874 he followed
steamboating on the upper Missis-
sippi. In 1877 he started the Fisher
hotel, and in 1889 founded the Hotel
Waverly, which he operated until his
death. "

Herr Direktor Podzus has arrived
in New York and opened Offices for
the purpose of supplying American
heiresses with titled husbands. He
has long list to select from-princes,
dukes, earls, viscounts, and all other
grades of European nobility. Oppo-
site each name on the herr direktor's
catalogue is the price which is neces-
sary to acquire the titled snob, and he
also submits: their photographs to
prospective purchasers. Some are
worth more than others of course-the
rank determining the price. For in
stance, a dago prince with an upside
down mustache may be purchased
for 100000, while. for handy
legged viscount only $1,000, 900 is
asked. Herr Podzus has doubtless
engaged in a business which will
prove lucrative.

The Washington Star sums up the
Ballinger resignation episode in the
following smoothly written para.
graph: 1.-THE resignation of Secre-
tary Ballinger has come somewhat as
a surprise to the public, and yet it is
the elimination of a situation which
must logically have led to that result.
The whole affair closes creditably,
and congratulations for every body
are in order-to Secretary Ballinger
for release from an untenable position
and for having won and held un-
swervingly the confidence of bis chief
in the most trying circumstances; to
Secretary Fisher for his present op-
portunity to demonstrate his ability
to administer difficult Office, and to
President Taft for an exceedingly
happy issue out OF his conservation
affiliations, which at one time
threatened to wreck his administra.
ton before it had had a chance to
demonstrate.

William Jennings Bryan has started
a movement to prevent Tammany in
auence from sharing in the organiza-
ton of the new house of representa-

sisted by many democratic members
of congress. At present the war is
being waged against the selection OF
Representative Fitzgerald as chair
man of the appropriations committee.
Mr.. Bryan is determined to show
Tammany that he has still little in
auence left, but we question whether it
is sufficient to deprive the tiger of
much of it's power.

While peace tribunals and commits

obviously: I'm time of peace prepare
