The distance from which an average

blowing smoke rings, however, a

Suffragettes will be interested to read the

CEREMONIAL PUZZLES
Continued from page 4

to use the first name in addressing Cabinet
officers, Presidents, and such, one uses the full
names of Senators and Representatives. On
the outside envelop it is, for example, 3Hon.
and Mrs. John W. Kern though on the in
side envelop just Senator and Mrs. Kern. y
A member of the House and his wife would
be addressed as 3Hon. and Mrs. Rudolph
Basil Hicks" on the outside envelop, and
merely as @Mr and Mrs." on the inside one.
The joke of all this is that Senators and Rep
resentatives have the front elevation of
their names used because these men are
numerous and common. Cabinet officers
and others are addressed merely by their
titles and last names because they have
been singled out of the mob-just as it is
proper to refer to Nero, or Charlemagne, or
Noah, without bothering about the first
name.
In this class also comes the Speaker of the
House. The proper thing is to write it,
1.-THE Speaker and Mrs. carefully
emitting the Champ, or Beauchamp.
In the diplomatic list one bumps into lot
more atrick stuff" put there to add to the
general confusion and hilarity of things.
Different Ambassadors are addressed in
different ways. For example, the French
Ambassador is entitled to, AHis Excellency,
The Ambassador of the French Republic,
and Madame Jusserand"; but the German
Ambassador and his wife must be addressed,
3His Excellency, The Imperial German Am
bassador and Countess Won Bernstorf.'
1t is good deal like learning the conju-
cations in new language. Just when you
think you have it down fairly pat, you strike
a mess of irregular verbs and exceptions to
rules.
Aside from the French and German Am
bassadors, the rule is that the address may
read, 3His Excellency the Ambassador Of
Italy," etc.; but the complications are in
creased by the fact that there is an excep-
ton to the rule. In the case of the japanese
representative, instead of calling him 3His
Excellency the Ambassador of Japan he is
@His Excellency the japanese Ambassador"
Now, if man is merely Minister or
charge d'affaires, he is not called @His Ex-
cellency." Officially he is no more an Ex-
cel1ency than the proverbial rabbit. Invi
tations to them read, @The Charge d'Affaires
of Gehenna and Mrs. FitzDoe," or 3The
Minister of Sichandsich and Mrs. Roe"
Again there is an exception. Instead of say
ing @The Minister Of SIAM" his invitation
must be to "The Siamese Minister"
So it goes, throughout long list. You
can imagine the pitfalls. The only way to
do is to take week off, or go to some good
night school and study the proposition out

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
NorthWest's First Church.

The first Protestant church in the Northwest was organized at a meet ing held in the barracks at Fort Smelling. Minn., seventy-nina years ago to day, June II. 1885. The Rev.
 Thomas s. Williamson oficiaas1 at the meeting, at which a Presbyterian
 organization was completed, with ar my officers, fur traders and pioneer settlers as elders and church leaders. Three days later ''the communion
 was administered for the first time in Minnesota to twenty-tYvos persons of European extraction, composed of officers and soldiers of the garrison,
 those engaged in the fur trade and the mission families The church was later reorganized as Oak Grove church, and eventually was merged with the First Presbyterian church
 of Minneapolis. Two years before the founding of this church the Rev. W. IF. Boutwell, had established at Leech Lake the first mission among the Worthy estern Indians. ReHg5 fous services, both Catholic and Pro- testant, had previously been heId at the Scotch settlement at ePembina, the Swiss colony near Fort Smelling, and at various Indian camps. but no for 5ma1 church organization had been perfected by any Protestant denom- nation. It was a log chapel built on the site of St. Paul by a Catholic priest that gave it's name to the Min nesota capital.

DUTY or THE PAVING COMMISSION

t OONER OR LATER it must be determined - whef1ier the business of Bridgeport is to be conducted according to the charter and the laws, or according to the whim and personal desires of a coterie of politicians
 It is nothing less than scandal that during the very period when the city attorney was re- quired to deliver his opinion dpon the proper authority to have charge of the expenditure of the $2OOO0Q bond issue for pavement, the direo-s tor sof public. works should actually have made a contract for $160,O00 with a special contrac- tor, for special pavement, without bids, or any species of competition
 This conduct is of the same type as that from which the file gal bond elections proceeded. It marks the same spirit which produced the strip efzrnaeadanq between the costly pavement on Fairfield avenue. It is an outgrowth of the same ideas of government, which cause the city to repair one part of street where the city pays the bills, without requiring the Vepair of the other part of the street for which the treasury Uffttfhg frcfFeYs 1h0n6p would be bound
 Self respecting citizens must ask when this sort of thing is to end. Why the anxiety to have $2OO,OOO expended by a committee of the conn mon council, rather than by the body lawfully created to have charge of such expenditure?
 It Is the substitution of whim for law, of greed for public purpose.
 What are the motives that lead to such un- usual methodist Who is to profit, and how?
 A duty has been laid on the permanent paw ing commission. If this body has the slightest self respect if it desires to do what the law obliges 1t tU do, it will resent the high handed methods of the Courtade contract to the extent at least, of seeking an injunction against the execution of the contract.
 When citizenship tarnely submits to usurpations of this outrageous character, it must not be surprised if these are followed by other usurpations even more costly and more insulting.

 IN BRIDGEPORT


 J. W. Chambers of Bridgeport did not want to go to a church festival. m Axp1ain his absence he rolled in the mud. bruised his face. tore his clothes, bound and gagged himself, and lay down in the grateful calm of the trolley track.
 So far, so good By @ moderate rolnputatfon there are 3,719s456 men Ia the country who would do as much, and more to get out of going to a church festival: and perhaps three times as many who, out of hearing of their women folks, will cautiously but fervently applaud MT Chambers res o1ution and ingenuity.
 But an over officious police force saw In this perfectly natural action a chance to display their detective skill They proved that Mr. Cham bers had not been, as he said, robbed, bound and thrown down a quarry by two desperate ruf5ans; that he had not dragged himself painfully to the neEce of his rescuers.
