New York, March 3. The new
short hair fashion among the Chinese
has been a boon to the white barbers
and to the barber schools In this city.
Nearly every queue In town has been
cut off Blnce New Year's and every
one meant from 40 to 60 cents for
some white barber. When a China
man decides to part with his pigtail
he goes the limit. He wants his hair
trimmed and done up in the AmerM
can fashion, and none of the barbers
of his race knows the trick, so he
patronizes the white man. Short hair
being new to him he is sensitive about
it and visits the barber every few days
to be sure he's looking right.
But the white barber's prosperity
won't last long for the Celestial ton
sors are going to tho bnrber schools
and they are apt pupils.
Many a man who is calling loudly
for Justice would be In the county
Jail If he got It.

CORONATION CAUSES RAISE
IN PRICE OF DRINKS
At the outset of the particularly
festive season of the coronation the
English public is facing a great in
crease in the price of champagne.
Brands which sold last year for
$21.25 to $23.50 a case, now bring
from $5 to $6 more. All around the
Increase Is estimated at 30 per cent.
This Is due to the almost complete
failure of the vintage of 1908 and
1909 and the complete failure of that
of last year.

Irfijcets.
Chicago, 111., March 3. What rec
lamation by Irrigation means to the
country is strongly Indicated by the
recent announcement of the United
States reclamation service that $4S,
000,000 is to be expended during the
next four years in furthering the
work of the government In reclaim
ing semi-arid and arid l.nds in the
west. What an enormous amount this
Is may perhaps be more easily com
prehended when it is remembered that
it averages an expenditure of $1,
000, 000 a month.
While this expenditure would pay
for five battleships, it is in the case
of the reclamation service only a loan
to be returned to the United States
treasury and re-employed for recla
mation work. The settler on a gov
ernment project has ten years in
whi-.h to pay for his land and water,
while; the returns under Irrigation are
in many eases so abundant that one
or two crops will repay the cost. The

HAS HOLD IN LONDON
London has a new synagogue for
the uflherents of the Liberal Jewish
movement, which seeks to promote
a Jewish religious union. It was in
augurated three weeks ago by a ser
vice which differs JYom tluit followed
by the orthodox synagogue in that a
considerable proportion of English
prayers and hymns are used. There
I:: also an organ and the sexes are
not rigorously separated. The sup
porters of the movement have taken
the position with regard to the Bible
and the Talmud that thoy cannot re
gard those books as verbally divine
ly Inspired and as sources of author
ity to modern Jews In every particu
lar. The Rev. Claude Montefliere,
who is the leader of the movement,
thinks that liberal Judaism demands

an embodiment which is In accord

LORD CAMOYS IS VERY
ATTENTIVE TO AMERICANS
Lord Camoys. who came over from
England to act as usher at the wed
ding of Lord Decies and Vivien
Gould, has decided to hang around
New York for a month or two longer,
and in the meantime he is very at
tentive to a number of New York
belles. Up to date his attentions have
not been entered upon any particular
young lady, but members of the
sporty set- are offering even money
that when he returns to England he
will be engaged to some American
girl possibly to be married. His
lordship is only twenty-seven, has a
slender but athletic figure, big brown
eyes, a cute little moustache, is al
ways smartly dressed, and altogether
is the sort of bally chap, don't you
know, who is calculated to attract fa
vorable attention of young ladies, en
tirely apart from his title.
GAYNOR'S ASSAILANT IS
PHYSICAL-MENTAL WRECK
A physical and mental wreck, un
able to work and daily growing worse
such is a report from Trenton as to
the condition of James T. Gallagher,
the man who assaulted Mayor Gay
nor last year and is now serving a
sentence of twelve years in the New
Jersey state prison. Dr. Henry A.
Cotton, medial director of the New
Jersey state hospital for the insane,
declares that Gallagher is undoubted
ly mentally unbalanced, and It is
probable that he will end his life in
a lunatic asylum.
ENGLISH PARLIAMENT MOST
EXCITING IN YEARS
One will have to go back twenty
six years to find a parallel to such
an exciting session of English parlia
ment as is the present one. That was
when Mr. Gladstone changed his mind
and came out for Home Rule. The
next most exciting time was In 1903
when Joseph Chamberlain proposed
to abandon free trade. The resist
ance to the parliament bill will be
strenuous, but the measure is expect
ed to be carried through the commons
early In May, without doubt. The
lords do not depend upon the king
to extricate them from their critical
position. They must fight their own
battle and they do not know how to
meet the argument that the parlia
ment bill has received popular sanc
tion and cannot be rejected.
Mrs. Walter Rose and young son,
Francis, left for Hood River yester
day, where they will visit Mrs. Rose's
mother, Mrs. Helen Losh. Later they
will go to Portland for a short visit.
CONGRESS TO
DIE TOMORROW
Sixty-first Session passes in
to History at noontJSatur
t!ay MANY LEADING STATESMEN
PASS BACK TO PRIVATE LIFE
Changes to Be Made In Membership
of Senate Are Greatest and Most
Significant m History of That Body
Nineteen Members Submit to I
eritublc In Politics and Retire.
Washington, March 3. At noon to
morrow the 61st congress dies, and
with It passes many veterans of Am
erican politics of the recent years..
There will be a few slaps on the back,
a banquet or so, and the warhorses
of the days that were will step Into
private life to make way for new
faces and new Ideas.
Hale of Maine, senior in point of
Service, having been a member since
March 4, 1881. remained In the ranks
to the last. Aldrich, whose service
goes back to October 5, 1881, passed
from the scene two months ago. His
health, it was explained demanded a
change of climate. Burrows of Mich
igan, with fifteen years as senator;
Kean of New Jersey, Scott of West
Virginia and Depew of New York,
each with 12 years, and of command
ing influence under the Aldrich reign,
retire to private life. Beveridge. the
brilliant progressive, will pass, at
least temporarily, after 12 years in
the senate. The changes will be the
most remarkable in the history of the
upper, house.
Nineteen members in all, three of
them democrats, will lay aside their
togas. The republicans include in ad
diUon to those already mentioned
Ttulkley of Connecticut. Burkett of
Nebraska, Carter of Montana. Dick
of Ohio, Flint of California, Piles of
Washington, Warner of Missouri and
young of Iowa. Young who serves
until Manh A by appointment is in
deadlock at present by the Iowa leg
islature. Flint and Piles are not
candidates for reelection.
The retiring democrats are Money
of Mississippi, Taliaferro of Florida,
and Frazier of Tennessee. None of
them made serious efforts at reelec
tion. With the old leaders gone the sen
ate will require a complete re-organization.
The comparatively new pro
gressives will step forward and the
whole aspect of the body will oe
changed. The republican majority
will be eight or nine so that every big;
proposition practically will cause an
open fight. As a result it Is expected
that the next congress will be a lively
body from the moment of organization
to adjournment.
