And when they go to work they
meet the little army of colored clean
ers and care-takers coming out. There
appears to be no rule which says
these colored persons must be out of
the buildings by nine o'clock, but it is
fact that you see few of them within
the sacred precincts after that hour
They think a good deal of their jobs,
these cleaners, and It's said they de-
pend upon pull" to a considerable
extent to secure them. And they stick
to them. Vacancies are rare. The
Afro-American suffraget enjoys clean

They (the white folks) come with
their bundles and their new scenery

razor, strop, and lather mug, but
always with powder puff, and stuff

brows. and for your lips, and for your
nails, which you might want--but
don't.
The secretaryettes are not powder
ing their bare knees this season like
real society over town-not yet: but

never can tell. 1t all depends-on
whether somebody starts it. When
the new dress reform does break

stalled about commencing them. And
the last day of the month, when the
ghost walks over at the office of the

there isn't some lineup at the little

you imagine there is some "derelic-

 WASHINGTON, June 3.-Discus- sion of the Capper- Tincher bill to regulate grain exchanges before the senate agricultural committee today developed into snarl on the subject of delegation of congressional admin istration officials. It eliminated in the declaration of Senator Reed of Missouri, that he could not differen- tiate between government by an in dividual, board or a commission and the government of William II, of Prussia.
 He attacked provisions of the grain bill, the packer control measure and others which contemplate reposing broad powers to make rules and regu- lations upon department heads or commissions. It was nothing short of socialistic, he said.
 Take the present secretary of ag- riculture and I mean no criticism to him personally said MT. Reed. he's an editor. He's not a lawyer, and probably knows no more about big business than any one of hundred thousand farmers. You give him this power, then he hires an army of un- employed, who haven't even made a success of their own business. tc draft these regulations and then signs them.'
 Senator Norbeck, South Dakota took issue with MT. Reed, declaring congress merely was attempting tc give Hexibility to it's laws.
