Ready For Hanging.
Oil paintings of all the speakers of
the house Of Representatives will soon
be hanging in the lobby of the house
at Washington. Portraits of many OF
the speakers have been acquired in
various ways, but last winter a reso-
luton was adopted for the painting in
oils Of portraits of the eighteen speak
ers not so immortalized. Sixteen of
these pictures are now ready, and the
other two will soon be. This will com
plete the list, with the exception OF
Speaker Cannon, who presided when
the resolution was adopted, and Speak
er Clark, who has served since then.
Steps have already been taken to pro
cure their pictures also.
Frank D. Millet, secretary of the
fine arts committee, has passed on the
portraits. A price of $500 a picture
was decided on as the charge, and
four women were among the candi-
dates for the awards. They are Ellen
Day Hale, daughter of the late Rev.
Edward Everett Hale; Rebecca Polk, a
descendant of Speaker Polk; Lucy NJ.

PRODUCES "HUMAN" HAIR.
Record Clip on Texas Ranch to Be
Used For Switches"

Used FOR switches"
F. o. Landrum of the Neuces can.
yon, near San Antonio, Tex. has
just produced in one clip mohair
twenty y-eight inches long, which sold
for a little over Sc per pound and
brought a total of $115. This mohair
it is said, will be used by the makers
of hair goods to produce beautiful
switches of Neal human" hair.
This highest grade of mohair is very
fine and silky and has a beautiful nat
ural wave. While theoretically the
idea of the hair of a goat being used
to adorn women is repulsive, pract:-
cally when the mohair is treated and
dyed an expert could not distinguish
1t from the real article.
Landrum owns one of the most ia,
nous goat ranches in Texas. Admiral
Togo, the wonderful Angora imported
from South Africa, is the head of the
flock. 1t is he who produced the mo.
hair which four years ago was mad
into cloth and fashioned into a pair
Of trousers for President Taft. ThesC
trousers were presented to him by the
Publicity league Of San Antonio an6
worn by him at the Inauguration.

CARNEGIE PENSIONS 10TH.
Innocent Man Who Was Twenty Years
In Prison Gets $40 a Month.

Andrew Carnegie has placed upon
his private pension list Andy 10th,
who was released from the Western
penitentiary at Pittsburg, on March
1S after having served twenty years
of life sentence, having been wrong
fully convicted of participation in the
killing of a watchman at the Edgar
Thomson Steel works, Braddock, Pa.
on New Years eve, 1890.
Mr.. Carnegie became interested in
10th and asked F. NJ. Wilmot of the
Carnegie hero fund commission to look
into the matter.
Mr. Wilmot made an investigation
and found that 10th had been one of
the rioters on the night in question,
but that he had been convicted on very
slender evidence.
Mr. Carnegie when he left for Eu-
rope in May instructed Mr. Wilmot, If
neither the state nor county gave aid
to 10th and he would go back to Hun
gary and join his wife, to arrange to
have him placed on his private pen
sion list at $40 a month

PENSIONS FOR AGED.
Berger Would Aid All With Income Of
Less Than Sc Per Week.

Berger would Aid All with Income OF
Less Than So Per Week.
A bill to pension the veterans Of
industry was introduced in the house
by Victor L. Berger, Socialist member
from Wisconsin. Attached to the
measure is a radical clause forbidding
the supreme court of the United
States to pass upon it's validity.
The bill provides for a pension of
81 to 81 a week for every person more
than sixty years old who has an in
come of less than SO week.
"The old working men and working
women" declared Mr.. Berger, "are en-
titled to living outside of the poor
houses and without the aid of private
charity. If the old parties and the
supreme court do not realize that fact
they will be wiped out of existence,
together with the old constitution"
1t is the belief Of the Socialist rep
resentative that his old age pension
bill is constitutional.
''But some of the capitalistic su-
preme court justices may hold differ
ent opinions" he said. "The bill fur
nishes good opportunity for testing
the power of the federal courts to an
nul necessary legislation passed by
congress"
Mr.. Berger asserts that through q
thousand ways the country spends a
greater amount to relieve the destitu
tion of the aged than his bill asks for
at is time now," he says, "that we
meet the problem in a scientific and
economical way"

The law will also take effect next
year in the makeup Of the national
conventions and in the membership Of
the electoral college. 1t will make the
membership of each national conven.
ton, exclusive of the territories, 1,062
each, provided Arizona and New Mex
leo are states at that time, a majority
of which, 532, will be sufficient to
dominate the Republican convention,
and two-thirds of which, 70S, in the
Democratic convention, will nominate
candidates. These figures will be in.
creased slightly by the allotment Of
