NOT SPEND A CENT ON OTHERS
Fight on Prohibition Wax Warm
in Washington Secretary Garfield
May be Haled Before the Senate
nd Punished For Contempt
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-"Taft
and Hughes" and "Bryan and John-
ton." These will constitute the Re
publican and Democratic tickets, re
spectively, at the ' next Presidential
election. There'll be no chance for
a favorite son or for a dark horse;
these men have been picked a the
ultimate choice of the two big parties
picked by men who make their living
in thl way, and for tint reason they
claim that they are pretty apt to be
right. Washington received a visit
this week from a western campaign
button manufacturer, and according
o him the button-makers do not plan
to spend a cent on the likenesses of
Fairbanks, Cannon, Foraker, Knox,
or 'any other possible piece of Prcsi
dcatiul timber. He claims that he
and his colleague In the button in
dustry have carefully sized up the
situation, 1 with the result aforesaid
The production of the campaign but
ton which retail for a mckle costs
thousands of dollars, and the work of
turning them out in sufficient quanti
ties must commence weeks before the
demand, so, the visitor pointed out,
the men who put their money into
this business have to examine and
weigh the situation pretty carefully
before deciding whose portraits to put
on the tittle discs. However, this
manufacturer only represent one
button house, and he may have been
guided by his personal preferences;
other manufacturers may be equally
sure that other buttont will be in
demand, and In this thought there
ttill is left tome ray of hope for the
other candidates for the nominations
of their parties, ,
That the old saw. "necessity is the
mother of invention" is true, has been
roved beyond a doubt. The Navy
Department decided a few weeks ago
to dispatch two submarines to the
Pacific coast, and, selecting the ror-
oise and the Shark, which weigh
inlv about sixty tons, they planned
to have them hoisted to the deck of
one of the bin navy colliers and trans
ported 1o the western station in that
manner. It wa recognized that it
would be far better to put the little
terrors of the sea into the hold of the
it; collier, but this would have neccs
itatcd the removal of a number of
deck beams and several other alter
ations. The naval experts now have
hit upon a plan of constructing a
nurse ship" for the submarines,
which will transport them long dist-
mces. nickinit them lip or dropping
them conveniently, thus giving them
ficfhtinn radius commensurate with
that of a modern '"battleship. The
new vessel will be able to carry four
submarines, which by means of
powerful hoisting davits will be lifted
to their berths along the sides of the
mother ship, or dropped, as the case
mav be. to make stealthy sortie by
day or night. It is planned to make
this nurse ship a high speed scout or
cruiser with little or no ornament, all
her extra space being devoted to the
carrying of fuel and., supplies for the
brood of deep scajjigbtcrs.
The fight on prohibition is waxing
warm. Every day some new and
harder thrust is made at the liquor
interests by the temperance advo
cates. The House committee on the
District of Columbia has been busily
engaged with other measures affect
ing the scat of government, and the
efforts of the aggressors have been
centered on the Committee on the
Judiciary. They have been urging a
favorable report on one or more of
the bills introduced to protect "dry"
local-option districts from receipt of
interstate as well as intrastate ship
ments of liquor; that is, to give such
districts the right of borderline con
fiscation of liquors shipped to destina
tions i within prohibition districts.
Durina the hearings had before this
committee, one of the speakers in
defense of "personal liberty" remark
ed that prohibition as tried in Maine,
Kansas and Iowa does not prohibit,
and questioned the operation of the
law in Alabama and Georgia. Chair
man Jenkins of the Judiciary Com
mittee interrupted the speaker to say
that only a few hours before a South
erner had said to him, "The inaugura
tion of prohibition Laws in Alabama
and Georgia work like charm.
They will mean that a white gentle
man can get a drink whenever he
wants it, but a negro can't get a
drop." Representative Clayton of
Alabama and Drantlcy of Georgia
laughingly' protested that thit wat
not so, each declaring the chairman's
informant must certainly have refer
red solely to the ,other' state. Mr.
Jenkins' reply wat "lie taid Alabama
and he taid Georgia," and even tome
of the prohibition representativet
joined in the laughter that followed,
Senator Lodge suffered a lapte of
memory thit week, and hit colleague!
are poking much fun at him as a re
suit. The Massachusetts solon does
not like to be disturbed at night by
telephone calls from newspaper men
who take this method of reaching his
car and interviewing him on the big
questions of the day. So when he
bad a telephone installed in hit home
thit year he gave instructions that it
should not be listed in the telephone
directory and that on no account
should the operator connect anyone,
who did not call the number direct,
instead of first inquiring about it.
This plan worked fine, and to all in
tents and purposes of bothersome
newspaper men Mr. Lodge' home
was without telephone connection.
The other night the Senator attended
a dinner party, and when the time
came to go home he asked permission
to use hit host' telephone for the
purpose of calling hit carriage. By
the time he took down the receiver
and central had asked "number?", he
could not for the life of him remem
ber the number, to he asked to be
connected with Senator Lodge' resid
ence. With positive , instruction in
her mind that on no account should
this be done, central firmly refused
to find out the number for him, al
though he protested that it was his
own house he. wanted to communi
cate with. In desperation, Mr,
Lodge finally hit upon a scheme to
outwit central; he called the White
House and requested the operator on
duty there for the number of his own
telephone. Getting this he made a
second call and at last had the talis
faction of hearing hit butler's voice
saying "yes, sir" to his instructions
that the carriage be tent 4ot him
immediately.
Is Secretary Garfield to be haled
before the Senator and punish for
contempt? It it claimed that he has
given the upper house of Congress
good grounds for such a course, but
the general belief is that he will be
warned once more and that if he
again attempts to violate the rules
laid down by the august assembly
his punishment will be swift and sure.
and treason or some other awful
charge will be laid at his door. It
will be remembered that some weeks
ago the Senate passed a resolution
to the effect that it would receive no
more bills drafted by heads of depart
ments and submitted direct to it for
enactment into law. It is understood
that this was aimed especially at the
practice of Secretary Garfield in fram
ing legislation which he desired and
forwarding his measure direct to Con
gress, without first submitting them
to the President and allowing them
to follow regular official channels.
This week, however, Vice President
Fairbanks received a drafted bill from
Mr. Garfield requesting that it be
properly referred and acted upon.
The Vice President was about to lay
it before the Senate, when his atten
tion was called to the rule, and the
communication was thereupon with
held.
The Navy Department this week
decided on a plan by which the ma
chinists and other skilled laborers
employed in the various navy yards
of the country all may be retained in
the service, while at the same time
the present appropriations may not
be exceeded. Some weeks ago it was
found that a big deficit threatened
because of the lack of funds with
which to supply enough work for the
thousands of men employed in the
shops and yards, and immediate re
trenchment was decided upon. Here
at the gun foundry in Washington,
close on to four hundred men were
summarily discharged, and further
wholesale dismissals were ,contein
platcd, when one of the chief machin
ists at the yard got the President's
ear and made an earnest pica for the
families of the men who thus were
thrown out of work in the heart of
winter. iThe Mr. Roosevelt arranged
for several conferences between the
discharged men and officials of the
Department, with the result that it
has been decided to reinstate those
let out, and to pursue the plan of fur
loughing each man for from four to
six days of each month, in order that
all may be kept employed a part of
the time. As far as practicable, this
system of furloughing will be supplied
in the future to all navy yards. -
PIGEON POINTERS.
Hint to Breeders of tike UtO
Feathered Beaetlee.
Th following valuable bint on
pigeon rearing are clipped from Pool
try Success:
Bird bred from good foundation
ttock will show their good quail tie
for sevenl generations to com. .
Charcoal Is one of the necessities
that pigeons must bare, end granu
lated charcoal I the best, ss It Is free
from dirt and dust and uniform In else.
This should be In every loft .
Too much attention cannot be gives
the birds st this eaon of the year,
the molting time. Some call It th
"dying time." A well balanced ration,
cleanliness and ventilation are neces
sary, .
Keep your coop free from feathers
Examine some of tbem and you will
And lice and mites. Burn tbem and
lessen your trouble.
Don't tend your bird on ttuj Install
ment plan and ay there Is nothing Is
the business.
Common sense, care end attention u
tbe only road that leads to success, sod
then you And some thorn on th way
Ida.
Why of coarse you tre going to ex
hibit that pair of birds st your local
show, and If they win a place end
tbem to another.
Bemember the pigeon breeder who
has spent ten or fifteen year In per
feeling a strain of bird cannot sell
them st low prices. Get the best from
reliable breeders snd you will be bet
ter satisfied one year from now.
Do not be led astray by some of th
literature put on the market by somt
squab company. Bemember the squat
bustneee must be learned largely by
experience. Better start with six pair
than 000.
Some people ' rush Into the squab
business, thinking fsbnlons sums can
he quickly realised. Remember, It
take years of experience and Judicious
handling to make a success of tbe bust'
Bowel trouble In pigeon Is usually
the result of Improper feeding, filthy
water snd crowding.
In tbe breeding of pigeons It Is well
to remember that site la influence
largely by the female.
Still laraffled.
Uncle Rufns was one of tbe calmer
and most equable of mortals. Nobody
hud erer seen him excited or Impatient,
but there came a time that tried him
Tbe furnace In tbe basement of bin
bouse waa working badly. He bad been
experimenting with a new variety of
coal, lu which there wa a considerable
proportion of "slack," and It did no'
worn to be burning, lie threw okv
the door of the furnace, thrust tbe e:.'
of a long poker deep Into tbe smol.ler
lug mass and stirred It op vigorously.
The result was startling. A Cere
burst of flame and smoke came forth
nit only enveloping Undo Bufus, but
blowlug out the fluo caps In tbe rooms
above and filling the bouse with soot
and ashes.
In the midst of the excitement Uncle
Uufus came up from the basement with
at usual slow and regular step. Ills
face was black with grime, his eye
brows and eyelashes were singed to a
crisp, and what was left of bis balr
ml beard was a sight to behold.
He went to a mirror and took a good
ook at himself.
"Waal," be said slowly and deliber
ately, "I was needing a shave an' a
aalr cut anyway."
Stone Foresta.
Stone forests are found in various
parts of the world. In many cases
tliey are hardened by some peculiarity
of the atmosphere and are found stand
ing Just as they were when clothed
with green foliage thousands of years
WO. The Little Colorado river, in
Arizona, has long been famous as a
locality for such finds. At one place
more than 1,500 cords of solid stone
tree trunks, sections, limbs and logs
were found by the government snr-
reyors. Most of them were slllclflcd,
many seven to ten feet In diame
ter and from twenty to eighty feet
In height Geologists say that tlx
petrified trees of the Little Colors-
lo were once covered with marl over
1,000 feet In depth. Some of the trees
have been changed to Jasper and have
assumed various hues; others resemble
opal, and when broken open the core
Is often found lined with crystals of
the most beautiful tints.

A Cat DUeaiauk
A babo In charge of tbe documents
of a certain town In India found that
they were being seriously damaged by
rats. He wrote to the government to
provide him with weekly rations for
two cats to destroy the rats. Tbe re
quest was granted, and the two cats
were Installed, one, the larger of the
two, receiving slightly better ration
than the other. All went well tor a
few weeks, when the supreme govern
ment of India received the following
dispatch: "I bave the honor to inform
you that tbe senior cat is absent with
out leave. What shall I dor The
problem seemed to baffle the supreme
government, for the babu received no
answer. After waiting a few days he
sent off a proposal: "In re absentee
cat I propose to promote the junior
cat and in tbe meantime to take into
government service a probationer cat
on full rations." The supreme govern-
ment expressed Its approval of tbe
scheme, and things once more ran
smoothly in that department '
