OLD CUSTOM REVIVED.

AS in the old days, when people
went out to tea, it is again quite
the smartest thing to take a dainty
little bit of needlework in fascinat-
ing handbag. This fashion has been
set by Queen Mary, who has always
near her a piece Of knitting or other
stitchery. Since she was a girl her
majesty has always been the best and
most industrious worker in the royal
family. 1t is a matter of comment
outside the royal circle that the dain-
ty bit Of needlework which some
smart women take to their friends
houses never shows any advance,
though they adhere religiously to her
majesty's example.

formed reserve squadron, one to be sta
toned at Bremerton for headquarters
and the other at Mare Island. The
matter was discussed largely among the
officers of Admiral Southerland's 3 fleet
just before sailing for the Orient, and
there were variety of opinions ex-
pressed about it, one being that the
three cruisers about to sail for the
Orient would be stationed there per-
manently.
At present there is no rear admiral
in the Philippines as commandant at
Cavite and Olongapo, since Rear Ad-
miral Mertz was relieved several weeks
ago and ordered to Washington. In the
event of the three cruisers from Homo
lulu being made part of the Asiatic
squadron it is believed that Rear Ad-
miral Nicholson, who is now on his way
to command the Asiatic station, would
be made commandant in the Philippines
and Rear Admiral Switzerland, being
senior by several grades, would bo
given command of the Asiatie feet of
which his cruisers would be part.
There is nothing chimerical about the
statement of these cruisers from the
Atlantic coming around to the Pacific,
for orders have been received at Mare
Island to make preparations for hand,
ling them upon their arrival. Official
notification reached Mare Island March
9 and was received here several days
later.
Officials in position to know have
stated that it has been the policy for
some time to reduce the Atlantic fleet,
even before the opening of the Canal,
and this move of sending four crack
cruisers to the West Coast did not come
as complete surprise.
In the Atlantic they have been used
for junketing purposes more than any
thing else, taking cabinet officers OF

ASHFORD HEARS THAT
GOVERNOR HAS QUIT
Governor Has Missed News Of
interesting Event, However
Scraps of Gossip.

Persistent rumors that definite word
on the governorship had been received
this week from Washington floated
through political circles yesterday, the
tenor of the "he- told-me' repetitions
being to the effect that the President
had decided not to reappoint Governor
Frear. The Advertiser chased the re-
port its whole elusive length and of a
score of men interviewed, all of whom
had "heard,' only one was found who
was able to say anything definite. This
happened to be G. w. Ashford, the
Delegate Is right hand man and official
charge writer.
81 have received advices from Wash
ington,'' said Mr.. Ashford, "but what
these advices are / am not at liberty to
say. l cannot talk on the matter at
all. have reason to believe, however,
that Governor Frear has already for.
warded his resignation to the Presi'
dent"
Nothing in It.
Whatever may be Mr.. Ashford's 3 rea
sons for so believing, the desired resig
nation has not been forwarded; neither
is there any intention on the part Of
the Governor of forwarding any resig
nation, nor any reason known to hin
| why he should forward one. On tn,
contrary, the Governor expects to hole
Office until the end of his second term
''There is nothing whatever in tn,

La Toilette Choice Of Dakota Re-
publiCans for the White
House.
TAFT is LAST ON THE TICKET
"A Roosevelt Suggestion to Test
His and Presidents
Strength.

FARGO, South Dakota, March 20.-
Senator Robert La Toilette, leader Of
the Insurgent movement but supposed
to be back-number in the succeeding
Progressive Republican movement, won
hands down the choice of this State for
the presidential nomination in the test
primaries held yesterday. They were
the first primaries under the recent
challenge from Roosevelt to Taft.
Although the suggestion for them
came in the form of challenge from
Roosevelt's campaign manager, Sem
ator Dixon, to Representative McKin-
ley, standard bearer of the Taft forces,
both Roosevelt and Taft were left in
the cold by this State.
Roosevelt was second, however, while
Taft trailed third. The exact figures
have not been reached but La Toilette q
manager claims for him plurality of
$4,000 over his powerful rivals.
The result of the primaries has come
as shock to this and neighboring pro-
gressive States and the country in gem
| eral, as the political situation must be
recapitulated. La Toilette, eclipsed by
Roosevelt, was supposed to have been
out of the race in favor of the Oyster
Bay candidate.
