PUBLIC MEN HERE
SHOCKED BY DEATH
Of JUDGE MADISON
Demise of Noted Insurgent
Widely Discussed
ident Grieved.

The sudden death Of Representative
Edmond H. Madison, of Kansas, who
expired Of apoplexy at his home at
Dodge City while eating breakfast. was
the cause Of much comment among pub
lie men in the Capital today. Judge
Madison was widely known here and
was highly RESPECTED by his fellow
members Of the House.
Dispatches from Michigan, where
President Taft was speaking when he
heard the news, say he was much
shocked. Judge Madison was one OF
the few insurgents IN Congress with
whom the President was on good terms
He was largely responsible for the
Presidents Western trip.
The death Of Judge Madison leaves an
important committee vacancy in the
House. He was one OF the two insur-
gents on the Rules Committee, the Other
being Representative Lenroot. 1t Ii ex-
pected there will be Keen competition
among the progressives for the place
left vacant His death also leaves q
vacancy on the Committee on Labor.

To Rector'S Criticism

Washington members OF the Brother
hood of st. Andrew, who were severely
arraigned last night by the Rev. Clar-

trict diocese Of that order, for laxity
regarding their duties, today took up
the work of remedying these deficien-
cies. The Arrangement was made at
the annual meeting Of the District do
cese at Trinity parish hall.
Interest, loyalty and devotion to
duty" he said, ARE rapidly dying out
in the local brotherhood. The members
are not living up to the rules Of the
order The two principles upon which
the brotherhood Is founded are known
as the rule Of prayer and the rule OF
service. To comply with the former.
the brother each day must offer a
PRAYER for the good of a felolw-man.
The ruls of service Is to bring new
man to church each Sunday.
These rules are not being lived up
to by the brotherhood as rlstdly as they
should. Owing to the neglectfulness OF
them, the order Is being injured"

Public Printer Donnelly. former

friendly to organized labor and a
respecter Of the union card. has shown
himself antagonistic to unions In his
most recent action" Mr.. Adams said.
Not only has he shown MS unfriendli-

Printer makes no effort to right them
unless a demand Is made"

agent of the BricklayerS Union. were
directed to enter suit, IL they see At,
against the United States Civil Service
Commission, to compel that department
to furnish information concerning the
appointment Of Moore as a bricklayer.
The union men contend that Moore, who
is now on the rolls Of the printery as
temporary bricklayer. is not qualified for
that position. They want to compel the
commission to produce the names Of the
persons who vouched for Moore when
he made applicatin TO be permitted to

This is a matter that affects every
union man in Washington" Mr.. Ryan
said. Since 1894 there has been a law
on the statute books requiring the cleo
trio railway companies to issue univer-
sal transfers. Why can't a decision be
reached as to whether this law is bind

cided now?
There is no doubt but that the COM

this law. 1t is surprising that the resi-

For chiIdren.

The children often come to you and
ask for something to ado-something
to make-for a chiid,s ideas are al
ways creative, Here is some rainy
day work for busy fingers.
"A wall matchholder4 can be made
GU a foundation of cardboard cut out
in a diamond. the upper portion of
which is much larger than the lower.
Fold the two lower ends upward SO as
to form a pocket and cover the whole
with silk or any other br%lght-colored
fabric. Then bind with heavy cord
and attach a ring to hang it up by.
A hanging pin cushion is also easily
made. Cut out two squares, about
five or six Inches square, from bris.
tol board and cover one with figured
material and one with plain. Sew
them together and then bend the
square thus formed into n, cornucopia
shape, with the plain side as the lin
ing. Bind with cord and leave a loop
to hang by. Fill with absorbent cot
ton or with bran all the way to the
top and sew silk tightly over it. Cot
ton Is better; as bran Is rat1ersheavy.
"A button penwiperYna be made by
cutting a circle Of brlght:colored silk,
buttonholed to a. cardboard or cart.
ridge paper. and then several other
circles of chamois a bit smaller. Fas.
ten all together with a large ornamen.
tai button. Even the smallest child
can make this.
"A simple footstool should be made
OF q strong wooden box with the lid
nailed firmly down Screw on small
casters and pad the top OF the box.
Cover with coarse canvas. Now cut
out n piece Of brocade in the shape OF
a cross and large enough to cover
the tops and sides of the box after
padding. Nall this down and finish of
the edges by furniture guimpe held
down by tiny brass tacks. This is
something for the boys to make.

will be ever so muclrappreciated, even
