COMPANY
LONG STANDING RULE
Appeared Before Supreme Court Clad
in Light Summer Sack Suit
Wass III at Ease.
Attorney fleneral W'iekershnm's
friends lire slill joking him about
vlin I would htive been nil unpurdon
able breach ol' the etiquette of the
highest court in the land, had it been
I'oniniilled by anyone else than the
head of the department nf justice.
i,f the L'nited Slates.
.Mr. Wiekershum actually appeared
before the supreme court the other
day in a light-colored suit of clothes.
It was au ordinary business suit such
as any man might wear to his office
on a warm summer day. Hut no one
had ever before been allowed to ap
pear in Ihe supreme courtroom dress
ed in any other than dark clothing.
The attorney general hail been very
busy at his office. He had donned
hi- summer suit that morning as a
matter of course, and it did not occur
to him until he reached the capitol
that he was not attired according to
the unwritten law of the great tribu
nal. The doorkeeper, whose chief duty
is to keep 'flashily dressed" persons
out of the courtroom, winced when
.Mr. Wiekershain passed the door. The
attorneys in the loom looked at him
aghast. Then the assistant attorney
general. ' Wade Ellis, mentioned the
mutter to him. But nothing could be
done. The hour for holding court
hail arrived, and the presence of the
attorney general was imperative. The
mailer was explained to tho justices
before they entered the courtroom
and they overlooked the attorney
general's offense. Hut Mr. Wicker
sham was manifestly uncomfortable
throughout the session.
The supreme court is very insist
ent that no one shall apiiear before it
in any- garb that might possibly be
construed as showing lack of respect
for the black-robed justices.

BIG TIME ON IN TACOMA;
SHRINERS MAKE IT A MECCA
Why do bin-bers talk so much?
Senator Dollivor nf Town, thinks
he litis discovered Ihe reason. It is
nothing more nor les.- than the psy
colnicul effect of tho razor.
'Kor generations this phenomenon
of, the barber's loquacity," said he
the other day, "observed iu all coun
tries and in every stratum of mi
ciety, ha been a theme for wonder
and study. I luive solved the prob
lem. For three dnys the senate has
been talking over the razor schedule
in the' tariff bill. Think of that
three days! There must be Homelhinp:
about the razor that necessarily in
spires coiivci'Milion. It iu't the bar
ber's fault. We have seen that sen
ators and seers are ,jusl as prone to
fall under its conversational spell as
is the man who shaves us or cuts
our hair. We should never n train
blame the barber.''
Iurinr thi debate one southern
senn'tor confessed that be had nt one
time used a razor that cost him only
cents. Which reminded one of his
TACOMA. Wash., May 28. One of
the most notable series of celehru
tions ever witnessed in the north
west will ho hold iu Taeoma tomor
row. Shriners from all parts of Ore
gon. Washington mid Brilish Colum
bia will march from tho depot to the
Masonic temple, FYom then until 8
o'clock al night n series of pageants
will transform the city into a vast
unipilhcater. Il is expected that Ta
eoma tomorrow will entertain Ihe hijr
est crowd in its bistorv.

The covering of the ships is now a
gray, luslerlusH paint as nearly as
possible the color of the sua itself,

The huge vessels,' instead of having
the gny holiday apepariineo in which
they were welcomed iu all the portB

voyage, will look nneo more like the
real fighting monsters that they are.
