Prince Tip.

Chicago Record Herald: Literature
and philosophy are now enriched by
quotations from Charles @. Gates. In
spired apparently by flial affection
and the generous rivalry it suggests,
Charles lis bent on establishing a new
tipping record. II am more than H.
says Charles, and | give S1.000,000
away in tips every year. Father left
ma a bank roll. / cant take it with
me when / die, SO / am going TO burn
il while I live"
"Burn" is a poetical expression
which signifies divide. Charles dis
tributes the income he earns from
twenty-three corporations among the
willing satellites who increase his
blessings by receiving. In this way
every laborer employed by the corpor-
ations is made a partner in the giving.
and the productive industry OF hang
ing around for tips is encouraged by
the masses.
But liz Charles does not finish soon
the aspiring souls who live by tips will
Ignore all other travellers and leave
them to worry along unaided by the
whine OF a proffered service that is
either useless or covered by bills rem
3dered. And this would be national
calamity.

Fire Alarm in the House,

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: 1t is not
surprising that the first opposition to
a rigorous investigation of the lobby
charges which have grown out of the
tariff quiz should come from a New
York democrat. This is not saying
that Mr.. Levy, the New York member
who offers the opposition, has any oc-
casion to personally fear the investi-
cation. If he had, he would probably
have the discretion to keep a pro-
found silence. His opposition, under
the peculiar circumstances of the
case, must have been inspired by
eminent free trade democrats in his
district, who, as we have frequently
indicated, have excellent reasons Of
their W for not wanting the ~investi-
cation to go too far, and who are, no
doubt. of the opinion that it is going
too far already. A part of the resolu-
ton authorizes investigation or how
members were elected through cam
paign contributions of organized bodies
Or OF individuals interested in legisla-
ton. 1t Is possible that there are New
York City democrats in the house who
will object to hat also.

Greeley's Police Chief Says Not

Enough, Sends Girl Home.
Greeley, Col, Cor. New York Herald:
H. M. Logan, the chief Of police Of
this town, has begun a crusade to
compel the women here to wear what
he considers a proper amount Of cloth

Miss Lois de Razzen's latest model

"It reaches to my ankles, as you
see"
yes. but there's nothing under it.
tights. Run along, now; we don't
! want any September Morns' in Gree
ley"
Mr.. Logan saw that she obeyed, and
he said tonight that he proposed TO
see that the women wear sufficient
underclothing in the future to minim-
ize their fine points.
It's getting worse and worse" he
said, Indignantly. I'm not boosting
any lingerie manufacturers, either,
but they can't walk these streets
tightly wrapped in G. silk handkerchief
and a naughty stare. Some Of them
don't even wear a corset, because it
takes up too much room, while the
large ones, who use a windlass to lace,
and wind themselves into the straight
up and down stays, bulge out at the
top and bottom like a charlotte russo
running over.
I'll bet a horse chestnut that the
girl 1 sent home didn't have a pint of
clothes on her. Yes, sir a pint.
That's the way to measure them. You
could have wadded that latest crea-
ton into a pint or a half-pint meas
ure. Besides that, you could see

covers Comets.

American Magazine: in the dark
room OF h great Yerkes observatory,
one Monday morning. Prof. e. E. Bar
nard was developing some plates of
the heavens that he had exposed on
the previous Saturday night. AS the
sensitive coating on one Of the plates
grew dusky under the action Of the
developer, he held the glass to the
light and scanned 1t critically. A hazy
Qatch caught his eye. Here was some
thing unexpected. He knew at once
That 1t mus be a comet. Impatiently

Ii his telegram reached that clearing

any other, he would receive the credit
Tor the discovery and the comet would
thenceforth be known as 'Barnard's
comet. But a great disappointment
awaited him. There on his desk lay a
telegram from Harvard announcing
that a comet had been found by Mel
llsh in such and such a position, giving
the identical astronomical latitude and
longitude OF the object he himself had
discovered.
But 'Mellish'? Who was Mellish?
only twenty miles away he lived
on a farm at Cottage Grove, Visa
mere boy with a telescope built by his
own hands, but he had managed to get
ahead Of the renowned professor with
the finest astronomical equipment in
the world. On the, very same night
that the comet made it's imprint on the
Photographic plate, young Mellish dis

GAVE THEM THE sHIvERs.
Mans Silk Hat Found in Women's
Dressing Room Near Senate.


Washington Correspondent Baltimore
Sun: Such a nerVe-racking commo-
ton as too place in the women's
waiting room at the senate the other
day. Heavens, it makes one shudder to
even recall the scandal!
But here's the incident. A particu-
larly s~uffragette was rest
ing on the couch in his same waiting
room. She had had an unusually try
ing morning in her votes for women
lobbying.
The senators she had approached
had been unresponsive. She was ut
terly worn out. With a feminine an
Xlety to calm down her nerves a bit
she was lying with her eyes half shut
trying to steal a small "siesta."
Through half closed lids she sudden
ly became conscious of something
queer n masculine looking hanging
on a hook in the corner. Though she
was anxious for the right to struggle
with men at the polls, she had no such
eagerness to have n man invade the
sacred feminine portals of a woman's
rest room.
She sat straight up on the couch and
stared at the object or the hook. Mer-
cy, 1t was a mans silk hat! Impossible.
she must be dreaming!
She rubbed her eyes and pinched her
arm. She was quite awake. And that
jarring object was most certainly a
mans silk hat.
With a single frenzied jerk she got
to her feet and looked excitedly about
for the woman superintendent of the
room. She found that person rocking
comfortably and very calmly knitting.
Something awful has happened"
the suffragist almost shouted the
words at the superintendent. Some
thing terrible has happened. A man
is in this room. 1 know it. There is
his hat on the peg. You must get him
out at once" "a
The superintendent grew violently
agitated, too.
"F'rightful!" she exclaimed, and
dropped her knitting on the floor.
There must be some mistake. But
We will go and search for him. Come
with me-"
The dauntless two hustled off in pur-
suit Of the villain. They scurried
about the room, peering everywhere.
Not a man in view. Into the adjoin-
ing room they hurried.
My stars, what a sight! There, be-
fore the mirror, arranging her close
cropped hair with a mans vest pocket
comb, StOod-Dr, Mary Walker!

APRIL FOOL IN CONGRESS.
A Joke That Always Gets the Con-
ceited New M Members.

..- ~SihSd iSGW WI
Boston Herald: A trap is biennially
oalted FOR the members of congress
on the opening of. each new session,
This the new members bite with
the regularity that Dartmouth fresh
men of a generation ago used to fol
low sophomore directions to an old
White barn for chapel exercises. THE
lawmakers are officially requested to
prepare sketches of themselves for the
congressional directory. They do so,
recounting their achievements with ali
the ~effulgence of newly realized ambi-
tons. The press of the country then
makes fun of them.
The New York Times yesterday
morning, for example, declared in
front page headlines: Lawmakers
admit they are great men. They tell
the story of their lives in the new
congressional directory" And then
1t proceeds, as do the other journals
of the country, including The Herald,
to recount the egotistic things which
these men have, said about them
selves. Murray of Oklahoma admits
that he is called the father of the
constitution Of that state and also
records with pardonable pride that
his p~seudonym is Alfalfa Bill" And
his disclosures are merely typical.
These biographies will be reduced in
length by the next issue Of the direc-
tory. This is a regular stated proceed.
1ire. The new member, no realizing
that his work will be understood to be
autobiographicaL, writes a page about
himself in exuberant enthusiasm, only
to find that the old stagers like Murray
Crane n Ejhu Root, content them
selves with three or four lines, setting
forth little more than the facts abso-
lutely required by The recorder. And
the new men begin to condense
narratives, selecting other safe
ty valves, if necessary, for their vain
gloriousness.

Their extension is contemplated to Su-
chow in Kansu. Eventually, no doubt,
the line will connect with the Russian

The line from Kai-feng-fu to Ian

caravan route which connected central
China with central and western Asia
and which is still the principal trade
route between the coast and Kansu
and Turkestan.
This is one Of the most important
railway projects which China, has ever
undertaken. It will open up a. vast

The projected line will cross two
other provinces-Honan and northern

in some degree by the Picking Hankow
and the MISUNDERSTANDING rail-
ways, and the second by the Grand
canal and the Tientsin- Pukow rail-
way.
Of the four provinces mentioned.
Kiangsu, Of which Marking is the cap
ital n Shanghai the principal sea-
port, is well known. 1t area is $500
square miles. It's population is esti-
mated at 23,000,0 900. The opposed
railway will cross the northern part
Of the province, through a region
which was the scene, in great part, of
the recent terrible famine caused by
floods in the Huai river and it's tribu-
taries. North Kiangsu is naturally a
fertile district. particularly the por-
ton lying next to the Yangtze, where
the finest cotton in China is grown.
Small canals connected with the Grand
canal cross 1t in all directions, making
communication unusually easy for
China.
Haichow, which is mentioned as the
possible terminus of the railway, was
opened to foreign residence and trade
in 1905.
