Signs of Sprinq.

Such days as today,--in fact, such
weather as we have been enjoying for
the past few days,-has stir ed NJ a
wonderful amount of spring fever,
and the languid look upon the faces
of many of our male citizens fOrbodes
i'll for the fish in the various lakes
about the city.
The ambitious gardener is begin
ming to take an interest in his work
after the sun has gone down and
before it has risen too high in the
morning and many nice gardens are
promised for the season. If this
weather continues, it will be put
few days until the grass will begin
to show green and the trees will
put on a greenish tinge that always
shows well in the early springtime
The spring poet is also about due,
and eXpectant editors are prepared
for the worst,-or the best.-as the
case may be. Pietro, the organ
grinder, and the monk, are also on
their way, and the boys are begin
ming to spin their tops and play mar
bles, which is another infallble sign
of spring.
The old grounding seems to have
made mistake this season. Instead
of six weeks bad weather as he pre-
dicted, when he saw his shadow the
second day of the month. we seem
TO have had about the best weather
of the entire season.
The farmers are so busy with their
work that they have lost all interest
in the war and are preparing to raise
a bumper crop to feed the hungry
belligerents next season. after the
unpleasantness has ceased. if it ceas-
es by that time.

new Provost of Trinity College, Dub

him is the following: He was once
present at a reception where the
Queen of Spain and the German Kai-

former, in answer to DR. Mahaffy's
question as to how he was progress

"Your Majesty will recall remarked
the scholar, chow Charles V. used to

WATERWAYS BILL
sIDETRAckED

Washington, Feb. 24-Advocates Of
the rivers and harbors appropriation
bill have all but lost hope of secur-
ing money for continuing projects
throughout the country, according to
an authoritative statement today.
The bill was put aside by the snip
building bill filibuster, and when the
senate reached appropriation bills, it
refused to displace the calendar to
take it up. Senator Burton has
served notice that he would fight
the pending bill, which aggregates
S3S,5OO,O00 as reported by the senate
commerce committee. Belief prevails
with the advocates that the best to
be received is lump appropriation
as was the case last year. A state
ment from the war department shows
there was available to the credit OF
river and harbor projects on Jan. I,
$31 100000. OF this amount $213,6OO
was available for the Brazos and
$2O2,SO4 for the, Trinity.

HIGHWAY BILL STRIKES
SNAG IN SENATE

Oklahoma City, Feb. 25.-The bien-
nial effort to abolish Col. Sidney
Suggs was made in the senate We'd
nesday and only halted because the
bill by which the coloneps official
demise was accomplished, made no
provision for the disposition OF his
official estate.
Senator Ben Wilson ana Senator
Risen of Texas county are authors
of the act that seeks to do away
with the highway commissioner Sen
ator Chase of Nowata raised the point
that the records of the office should
be formally turned over to some other
branch of the government, and was
appointed a committee. with Wilson
and Senator McAlester to draft an
amendment.
McAlester said Suggs shouldn't be
ousted until the commissioner could
reimburse himself for private eXpend-
itures on the office, out of automo-
bile license fees at 81 per. Senator
Wilson rejoined that the grrd, reason
for haste was that Col. Suggs was
collecting at 81 per auto, when
new road bill, about to be passed,
would make the license graduated
charge from 81 to $50, depending on
horsepower.
He added that Col. Suggs was CIV
ing receipts for the year to all VINO
paid him 81 and that none OF these
should pay the higher fee, should 1t

of the legislature.

There is good reason to believe
the political situation in Holland is
such that most interesting develop

numerous meetings between the dip
lomatic representatives of various
countries at The Hague, but the
subjects discussed have been kept
secret.

Ryndam, when she left Rotterdam

liantly lighted. The name "Ryndam'
