Weekly Letter From WASHINGTON

| WASHINGTON, March 29-Tea is
a commodity which seems to be mex
| tricably iRterwined with the destiny of
| the United States of America Ameri-
can shores, tea, nevertheless, has seep-
| ed into the very lives of our citizens
and into almost every home from 10

/ ida.
One of the most cherished traditions
of our people is the Boston Tea Party.
sprightly function. staked more than
century ago in Boston Harbor That
was a testimonial party in honor of
tea, carried off with conspicuous sue
cess and entailing the establishment OF
new nation.
Now comes a Democratic admins
tration to take charge of the affairs
OF this nation and with the coming
William Jennings Bryan as the new
Secretary of State and with the depar-
ture OF Huntington Wilson as Assist
ant Secretary of State, tea comes 10
the fore again. Huntington Wilson up
until his recent resignation had been
an attache of the State Department for

when Mr.. Wilson entered the employ
of the State Department in his right
hand he brought with him the table
nymph, five o'clock tea From that
time until recently the five O'Clock tea
was an institution at the state depart
ment
The right to drink tea at five O'Clock
in the afternoon or Whereabouts is con-
sidered by Huntington Wilson and his
aides an inalienabie right, and one
which should not be abridged on ac-
count of Panama Canal notes. the

Now that Boston Tea party was an
interesting affair, take it any way you
please.
Also the Revolutionary war is very
we'll thought of by the d. A r., the
Sons of the A. R., and divers other
patriotic organizations. But after all
there were only a comparatively few
men involved. England was so busy
fighting Spain and colonizing India
that she could not waste much time
on the American colonies and, old
pomphlets declare. many persons We're
"frightfully bored" by the late Sir Ed
mund Burk's speech on reconciliation
with America, which was one of the
by-products of the war

SCHAEFtR is VICTOR
Marcus Cation Is No Match
For Jake.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 20
Jake Schaefer repeated his perform
ance of Thursday, when he defeated
Marcus Cation at the Indiana Demo-
cratic Club last night in a fast game
of 1872 balk-line billiards by the score
OF 800 to 1876. Schaefer and Cation,
boy experts, were engaged in a 800
point exhibition match, and the final
score shows Schaefer having scored
600 while Cation scored but 415.
Schaefer, in his first nights play at
the Board of Trade parlors, scored
300 points, while Cation scored $50.
Cation last night was to play for 800
billiards while Schaefer needed but
800, which he secured in masterly
style at an average of IA 6-21 to the in
ming, while Cation scored but 1876 at
an average OF only 6& to the frame
Schaefers average for the entire 600
points was 1871 to the inning.

glamour that old man Time has lent
those remarks. Suffice il TO say that
If Burke tried any such scheme nova
days. somebody would move that the
gentleman from Ireland be given per.
mission to extend his remarks in the
Record
But TO bark back TO the statement
that the war didn't amount to much
IL was really inconsequental, except
when considered potentially compared
with the recent revolution brought
about by the change in administration
When the Democrats came into power
there was a metamorphosis indeed,
and tea had its place therein
William Jennings Bryan. buoyed up
by the spirit of Jeffersonian simplicity
bore down upon the State Depart
ment, sowing the wind, The first thine
his Democratic antennae encountered
was the presence of tea in the Offices
of the State Department. II happened
in this way. Mr.. Bryan had pushed
the bell for Huntington Wilson and II.
w. had entered. Mr. BRYAN and Mr.
Wilson took up n momentous question
of State. The matter had reached a
crisis when Mr. Wilson's eyer, roam
ing about the room in search of a pre-
cedent. fell upon the clock. IL was tea
time.
Pardon me, Mr.. Secretary" observ-
ed Mrs. Wilson, and departed, Mr..
Bryan, Democratic to the core, waited,
thinking that Mr.. Wilson would re-
turn. But MIR Wilson dod not immed-
lately return. Mr.. Bryan punched the
bell. lebelled The Assistant Secre-
tary," but received no reply.
Then he pushed another bell. labell-
ed private secretary" then others and
finally he played an oratorio upon the
push-bell Keyboard set in his desk. No
answer. Mr.. Bryan began to think
that the State Department had gone
to Croatan and set out to investigate.
First, he discovered his private secre-
tary-at tea. Next. a clerk-at tea.
Then a messenger--at tea. Mr.. Bry-
an glared and made mental reserva-
lions and then ducked into Mr. VIII
sons office and found him-at tea.
Mr.. Bryan returned to his office. For
several days he bore this crown of
thorns and cross of gold patiently and
allowed matters of high import to drift
while the State Department had tea.
But the straw that broke the camel's
back as added to his load OF sorrows
when one day he himself was served
with tea. Then he issued an order
abolishing the o'clock tea.

GERMANY BETTER
OFF THAN j. s.
CNationa1 News Association,

BERLIN, March 2S-'I am sure that
the prophets who foretold that the
present year was to be one of blood
and iron, year of fire disasters to
Germany, must be feeling rather wor-
ried about their regulations for truth
fulness for surely no year ever brought
us as many festivities as the present.
We are living in round of everlast-
Ing gaiety and the city of Berlin hard
ly has time to pick down the flowers
flags and bunting after one royal visit
before 1t must decorate itself afresh
for new visit. And when autumn
comes we shall hardly be able to re-
member the original color of the Bran
denburger Thor, which is continually
hidden from sight under a cover of
flowers and bunting in the colors of
all nations. 1t was first decorated in
honor of the visit of the king and
queen of Denmark. The new deeora-
lions We're put up when the Prince
Regent Of Bavaria was here and the
decorations from the celebrations of
the one hundredth anniversary of the
war of liberation in 1913 will now re-
main up until it is to be re-decorated
for the wedding of Prince Ernst Au-
gust of Cumberland and our own
Princes Victoria Louise in May, fol-
lowed by an endless row of festivities
in commemoration of the events of
1913, ending with monster celebra-
ton on the one hundredth anniversary
of the gigantic battle of Leipzig.
We may be drifting towards the
great war which is to decide the fate
of Germany, and in anticipation of
which we are requested to spend hun
dreds of millions of dollars, but all the
prophets Notwithstanding, it will GER
tainly not come during the present
year.

Calgary, to be used in the defense of

scheme are confident that the sum can
be obtained with ease. The plan has
awakened great interest throughout

that other large Canadian cities will
follow Calgary's lead and open funds
for similar purpose. The British gov

WITHOUT AN ANSWER.
An Old Proposition Treated From a
Scientific Standpoint.

SkdU0POtHks
ITO settle an argument kindly an
swer the following question: IL an tr-
resiStibIe force were to come in con.
tact with an immovable body. what
would be the result?'
The answer cannot be thought in the
present Limitation of the human mind.
We cannot even commence to think of
any infinity whatever.
An irresistible force is an infinite
force and cannot be thought of in any
property it may have by any phase of
mind functioning in any brain
An immovable body is infinitely still
or Its rest is absolute. and mind in
brain cannot think of the absolute.
For a body to be at absolute rest 1t
must be the only one In existence. for
IL there are two In space attractions
viii cause both to move.
But if one body only existed then
finite mind cannot know whether it is
immovable. because we cannot know
whether force is outside. Only crea-
tive mind can know this. With only
one body in infinite space. then finite
mind could not discover whether it is
at rest or in motion. having no other
object with which to compare it The
two words rest and motion would be-
come meaningless. And humans can
not at present think OF infinite space
nor two points In space. Impossible
unless matter occupies these two
points. Then the word space could
not apply to these points since they
are occupied.-New York American.
