Laughter and tears today marked
the passage of the Sixty-second
Congress Humor and pathos, con-
the final scenes closing the old
Congress. Noon was the hour set for
the death" of the present Congress,
but clocks were set back to complete
necessary business before the inaugu-
raj of President Wilson and Vice Presi-
dent Marshall.
Solemnity in the Senate was counter
balanced i1y comedy in the House. Age
old customs were re-enacteo In potn
chambers. Galleries and Railways at
both ends of the Capitol were crowded
carly this morning. Admission to both
was by card only. The array of bravery.
millinery, and New Easter costumes
was magnificent. The last scenes In
fective, with the tinge Of sadness be-
cause of the retirement Of an unprece-
dented number of both Senators and
Representatives.
AS usual, the Senate was the center of
attraction. because of the first appear
ance there of the two new executives
and the retiring one, President Taft.
Outside the Capitol an immense throng
sent cheers echoing through the Capt.
tol. =,
furnished the political tragedy for the
great civic drama. In the Senate and
House scores of old political war horses
Razed with tear-dimmed eyes for prob
ably the last time upon the ADJOURN
ment scenes.
Recesses in the House, while final bills
were given finishing touches, furnished
relaxation for the tenseness OF real,
personal bereavement In the retirement
Of many members there. Hundreds OF
a rrx,1 yxrh a
members sang patriotic songs and
made speeches. Uncle joe Cannon
was the special object of much atten-
tion, ending his long years OF public
life.
Lingering handclasps and "Godspeed'
were given to the retiring members.
Partisan lines were wiped out in the ex-
pressions of personal friendship.
In the Senate many foreign diplo-
mats, in court uniforms, were present in
the galleries, adding their touch OF color
to the brilliant and distinguished audi
ence.
Communication except for officials,
between the Senate and House was cut
of early this morning, when lines were
established to keep back the inaugural
crowds. But thousands of visitors be-
sieged both chambers for admission.
Appointment of committees to notify
President Taft that the two houses
Were ready to adjourn, was the last Of
fetal act of the retiring bodies While
awaiting the report of these commit
tees, songs and, speeches reverberated
through the House while the more rstaid
Senators said their last farewells.
Congestion of business, as usual, oc-
Cured today. Appropriation bills were
jammed for passage into the last few
hours.
The Sixty-secord Congress when 1t
closed today had been in almost con-
tinuous session since early in the sum-
mer of 1911. There were three sessions
in all, che first in 1911-a special session
for consideration Of the Canadian reci-
procity treaty-the tariff session from
December 4, 1911, TO August "a. 1912. and
the session ending today. which began
December 2, 1912.

Special TO The Tribune

~t~>''
LONDON, Jan. 4.--ln all English
speaking countries throughout the
world the centenary Of the birth Of
Sir Isaac Pitman, inventor Of phOnOg-
raphy, the parent system of modern
shorthand, was celebrated today with
appropriate exercises. The celebra-
ton in this city, which was held under
the direction of a committee headed
by Sir Thomas Crosby, Lord Mayor OF
London, included exercises in all the
schools where shorthand is taught and
a large gathering and banquet with
addresses by noted opponents OF the
Pitman system and many public men
interested in s~tenography. In New
York also, a celebration was held, un-
der the auspices Of committee jnclud-
ing many men of note, among them
F1asident-elect Woodrow Wilson, An
drew Carnegie, President Hadley of
Yale University, DR.. William H. Max
well, Prof. Brander Matthews, George
B. C%ortelyou and many others.
Isaac -lttman was born IN the lit
tie town of T~rowbridge, England, on
January 4, -o43 His father Samuel
Pitman, was overseer in II of the
numerous cloth mills of ~TrOWbridge,
and raised a family Of ten children,
six of whom later became teachers.
Isaac was sent to the grammar school
OF Trowbridge to receive the rudi-
ments of an education, but showed no
particular brilliancy in his attain
ments. Owing to the poor ventilation
in the school young lsaac's health
broke down and at the age of thirteen
he was compelled to leave school.
After leaving school Isaac was EN-
ployed in the office Of the mill of which
his father was overseer and il the
evenings his father. who had a good
education, taught the boy and enabled
him to advance rapidly in his studies.
In August. 1881, Isaac decided to take
| up a course in teaching, and went to
London where he entered the British
| and Foreign School Society's College.
In January, 1882. at the age of 10,
isaac took charge of a school tat Bar.
ton-on-H arbor, a market town in North
! Lincolnshire, and four years later he
removed to the town of Wotton-ulder-
Edge, where he established and man
, aged a school with much success. "
While conducting his school at Wot-
ton.under-Edge, Mr.. Pitman took up
the study of Taylor's system of short
hand, and finding it a great time-saver
he urged UPON his students to take
up the study of the system. AS there
was no cheap text book of the system
on the market, Pitman tried to induce
Samuel Bagster, a h-.le publisher, to
publish one. In the spring Of 1887 he
even forwarded to Bagster the manu-

James II. McVeety, Paint and Re

Limited, a corporation, and A. j

] Plaintiff in writing contracted tc
! sell and convey by his warranty deed
twelve hundred acres Of land to de
PENDANT corporation, as a purchaser
| He sues to recover damages for refus
! al and neglect OF defendants to per
form their part of the contract. The
answer denies that plaintiff was ever
able to perform under his contract
On trial the proof disclosed that
plaintiff never owned any of the land,
nor had he any interest therein, but
that he had contracted to personally
sell the same, relying upon written
permission from the owner that ne
might sell during a period which had
expired, but had been verbally extend
ed, to expire at the end of the time
fixed in the written contract between
plaintiff and defendants for its per-
Torrance. The owner executed for
delivery his deed Of $50 acres, AID
assigned contracts for deeds for 100
acres, but inadvertently omitted to
deed the remaining so acres of the
1900 acre tract agreed by contract to
be conveyed. The deed was sufficient
to convey title to the land designated
therein from the owner, Ross, gra1tor,
to defendant company as grantee. This
deed, with assignments of contracts
to the 100 acres, was deposited at the
place designated for deposit in the
written contract between McVeety
and defendants, and within the time
limited for performance Of said con-
tract; this as a tender Of performance
by McVeety, who then notified defend
ants that he was able and ready to
convey and fully perform his part Of
his contract upon payment by them of
the purchase price, consisting of, in
part, a bill of sale Of a stock of goods,
deeds of some town lots owned by
Sayre, and a cash balance. Defend
ants refused to accept the deeds, con
vey, or pay the purchase price, on the
ground that the deed deposited did not
convey fee title to the omitted 50
acres and the 100 acres covered by
contracts assigned, such refusal hav.
ing been made On the last day Of the
fifteen day period for the performance
OF the contract. Plaintiff asserts tina,

script for q cheap manuel of Taylor's

script for q cheap manuel OF TaylOr's
system, but Bagster suggested to him
to invent a syste moi his own.
In accordance with this suggestion
Pitman began to experiment in the
construction of shorthand alphabets,
at first adhering to the system used
by Taylor, but soon evolving a system
of his owl, in which he aimed at eX'
pressing sounds rather than letters OF
the alphabet. On November Is, 1887,
the first edition OF the Pitman system
was issued from the press under the
title "Stenographic Sound Hand"
This was a little twelve-page Damph-
let in ordinary type with two addition
al pages Of autographed plates in
shorthand. Copies of this work are
now extremely rare, only fifteen
known to be eXtant.
Shortly after the publication of his
pamphlet, Mr.. Pitmar was summarily
discharged as head OF his school on
account of differences with the school
ccmmitte of the town il regard to re-
ligious views. Mr.. Pitman went to
Bath and there opened a private
school at S Nelson Place. The second
edition of his booklet was published
on January 10. 1910, under the title
"Phonography," and o o thereafter
a third edition became necessary.
Isaac Pitman worked s~trenuously to
make his system, which he continued
steadily to improve and simplify,
known throughout the country. He
travelled extensively during vacation
time, l%ecturing upon the advantages of
photography, and created so much in
terest in the subject hat the monthly
magazine first published in January,
1912, became a success. The first
photographic society was founded in
1913. In the Following year his sys.
TEN was introduced in America and
since then it has spread throughout
the English speaking countries Of the
world. It is used not only commercial
ly, but also for reporting the proceed.
ings Of every court and every legisla-
tive body, in which the English lam
guage is spoken. ".
In 1894 Queen Victoria conferred
the honor CT knighthood upon Mr.. Pit.
mar in recognition of the great value
of his invention. On Friday, Jan. %.
1897, Sir Isaac died and, in accordance
with his wishes, his remains were
cremated. His portrait, painted by
A. S. Cope, A. r. A., was hung in the
National Gallery.

FARMERS SHORT COURSE.

The Farmers Short Course will
open at the North Dakota Agricul.
tural College on january End and
close March 7th. The course has
been planned to meet the needs OF
those who cannot take one OF the
longer courses. No examinations are
required for entrance. The inctruc'
ton lis largely practical, giving those
things that are used in the everyday
work OF the farm. The instruction on
horses, for instance, is largely given
in THE barns, with good types OF
horses to illustrate the points as pre-
scented. Lessons are also given on
the horse by the veterinarian, taking
arp the more common ailments, how
to deal with them and how to- cure
them. The lessons on the horse alone
will more than pay for taking the
course. Who can estimate the saw
ing it will mean to be. able to intelli-
gently select the best horse for the
purpose, to know how to detect weak
nesses and defects, and to know how
to feed and care for the horse SO as
to get the mCst work ait The least eX-
lpense. y'v,y n &=4a r.
Similar instruction will also be. civ
en- on cattle, sheep and swine.
The different phases OF the farm,
as crops, Judging corn, grain, dairy
ing, engine practice, farm mechanics.
tree and fruit growing, commercial
law, bookkeeping, veterinary, are also
given. From these subjects II can
select a course that will prove very
valuable. Nine different courses are
offered.

How About 1t, Judge?

That was a fine speech Of
Judge J. F. Gordon at the Com
mercial Club meeting Friday
night. The suggested lines of
activity for the club were good
The Improvement of the roads
of the county is great work,
and some systematic and perma.
nent road work should DE under
taken. Suppose, for instances
turnpike should be built from
jacksonville to the foot of that
magnificent new bridge across
the Pond River. What a de-
veloper for this section of the
county, and what puller for
trade from Mclean county for
our county's business interests.
Judge Gordon, through your
Good Roads Committee of the
Commercial Club, can you not
inaugurate a movement that will
result in a few miles of macad'
am road each year till the coun-
ty will at least be bi-sected by
a permanent road? The twelve
miles to the Davis Ferry bridge
can be built for not over $50, 600,
and it will be worth five times
that amount. Your committee
has a great work ahead of it
will it measure up to the respon-
sibility? The Hustler believes
it will. -Madisonville Hustler.
