season of school commencement? has
Just ended. There ore e core. of schools

- all sorts and conditions of people Who
' wish to pursue a course of study. It fol
iows that theirommenfement season
; stretches . over several ' weeks and af
fords a variety-ot entertainment,
The writer contented himself with at
tendance on the graduating; exercises
of the1 Columbian University Law
School.! They took place in the New
National theatre, and good luck fav
ored me with one of the most desirable
seats, The leading attraction was an
" - address by Senator Albert J Beverldge,
of Indiana, upon ouc National Consti
tution and the different methods of Its
interpretation: It was -a clear, strong-.
instructive, . Impressive and Judicial
statement that commanded the close
attention of all the audience. On the
platform robed In the college gown-
sat the-venerable looking Justice, FleM
: of toe I United States Supreme Court.
He was an interested listener and man
. ifested. approval of many points by via
oro'jsly nodding- his head. Justice Har
lan was seated also with the faculty.
Beverldge is young for a Senator.
He Is of rather slender AmUd, though
: compact, and has a pleasing stage pres-,-
ence. His voice: possesses remarkable
carrying power, though it would not be
-; called musical., "He is a college man,
- It will not be strange If Beverldge,
with his many -advantages, becomes a
much more prominent figure In Nation
: at politics. He has 'character, brains,
education, forcefulness, v tact, energy,
ambition, health, youth, position and
power.! He is prominently Identified
with the. powerful and popular Metho
; dlst Episcopal church, and an active
, member of the greatest political party
the world has yet seen-the Republican.
So thai, if he does not ''ioae his head"
; he is undoubtedly destined to. become
- ' a much more potent figure in National
r politics, than he is at -present, i .;
- A reference ! to Senator i Beveridge's
. church recalls; the fact that Trinity M.'
E. church (at the; corner of Fifth
: street and Pennsylvania avenue, south
east) recently .celebrated 'it. jctne,hand
reth anniversary. One Sunday-.morntns;
: the preacher was Dr. James M. Buck
; ley,;who has for many years been edi
tor of I the New York Christian Advo
cate and one of the moat widely Renown
American Methodists. He spoke with
out nates, taking for his . text these
', words; ;-'V' -v::;.-''. " ".
. "My kingdom Is not of this world;, If
my kindom were of this world, then
- would my servants; fight,1 that I should
not be. deliveredV-John, xvWi.38. ;?vH
The sermon was largely an arrumiu
agalnnL the union of-church and state,
full or Biblical references and histori
cal allusions, with now and then a flash
.of humor. At the end of the sermon
the congregation Applauded the preach
ersomething thla scribe never before
witnessed In a regular, service of the.
Methodist church. Truly, "the world do
move:" i.Biit.-viewed, from the -standpoint
of a Methodist, the sermon was
worthy Of the demonstration. Although
rather twnall of stature Dr. Buckley is a
big man intellectually. ...
In a, former letter 1 .referred to Dr.
. Frank ;M. Bristol, pastorXof the Metro
politan MVE. church, who Is considered
. by many the most popular Protestant
. preacher in Washington. 8o here we
have had the opportunity of seeing and
. hearnsr three Methodist -brilliants"
Beverldge, Bristol and Buckley all of
them bright, brainy, interesting men.
Proximity- to men of renown some-
" times dulls the keen edge of desire to
see them. It Is quite probable that,
liad I arrived In the city for a few days
-of. sight seeing I would have called at
the White House and sought an lnter
.vieVr with the -President, looked .up
the notable characters in Congress, .and
-kept my eves open for a sight of for
eign diplomats. But the truth la,. 1
. .. have not. even had V glimpse of Presi
dent Roosevelt, rnd have seen? com
paratively fer of the . cKy"s notable
residents. It would not be difficult to
. see most of then. Jut the fact of their
nearness and: the possibility of meeting
them at any time renders one who has
: no axes to grind rather indifferent. At
the time of my first visit to Congress I
.' had been In the city for more than a

The shibboleth of Washing-ton is Influence.-
Perhaps It could not be oth
erwise, In a political capital. Influence
Is- the; magician that by a wave or ft
wand transmutes iron, into gold, clay
Into fine gold, and gathers the flotsam
and Jetsam from the political sea .into
safe harbors' of prominence and profit.
The unfortunate, the Incompetent, tW
improvident, and even" the Idler may
fare well. If only they hsve !nfluene"
but without If they are hopeless, -influence"
opens the doors of society.
' The public high schools of the Dis
trict are popular and useful. And the
"High School Cadets" are the nrdf and
Joy of the public schools, especially of
the girts. At each commencemeni sra-
son the different cadet companies torn-
pete for leadership, and a gn t ueal ox

William Shock, who lives on Cotton
wood - Gulch, south of Yreka, killed 89
snakes at his' place., comprising all
trices, from little ones with a Single rat
tle or button tip to one monster, with
24 rattles. The rancher unhitched his
horses and had some difficulty In get
ting1 them into the barn, as they scent
ed the snakes. After leaving the barn
he heard the horses Jura'plnf : about,
and, returning, found 'them prancing
about in great fright. They had pull
ed the manger down and had uncover
ed a den of rattlers. It Is supposed
that the barn had. been selected by the
reptiles for a season's hibernation, as
It had been unused for a long- time.
Shock attacked the mass of snakes and
killed 62. Returning; later, he forked
out 17 more. He has sold the ratUes

from Nome, Alaska, having In charge
two Insane patients. " Rev. A.' Jacquet

Nome, and the latter from St. Michaels
and delivered then to the Insane Asy
lum. The history of Rev. Jaquet's mental
derangement Is rather sad. He Is a
Jesuit Priest' and was sent to Nome in
response to an urgent call from the
Catholics of that part of the country
who represented that $100,000.- if nec
essary could be raised for the purpose
of erecting- a tabernacle. Rev. Jaquet
went and at once started with his sub
scription paper and all Of the people
subscribed liberally with from $300,-to
$1000 each until a large amount -Mas
subscribed. The promise of the money
secured Rev. Jaquet ordered his mater
ial and -let bis contracts and a church
was built. But when he went to col
lect his subscriptions he could hardly
get a cent from the subscribers, who
had promised In good faith at the time,
failed to realise their dreams of wealth
from their claims and could not meet
them. Consequently Rev. Jaquet la

Into a verbal agreement with F. .W.
Steusloff whereby they were to have a
lease upon. the building urrill April 1,
1908, but, this Mr. - Steusloff denlon,
statins; most emphatically that he ha 1
no authority, prior to the date of Ms
purchase, June 9th. to entr Into aiy
such. agreement and that on that ojy
he gave Farrlngton and Farrar notiin
to vacate The latter gentlemen claim
that Mr. Steusloff never spproarln.l
them upon the subject nor offered to
compromise the matter, but Mr. Btui
loff avers that he offered to pny thm
more than they haJ paid to Mr. Ilatk
ett for the business and that they refused.;--

Yesterday " morning; Mr. Wagner,
who owns one. lot in the rear or the
Steusloff property, which- was ou
pled hy the rear end of the meat mar
ket, and who is also i-ontemiilatlnir the
erection of a building In the tuar fu
ture, started his carpenter to work t
clear the-buildings from the premlM.-x,
having given Farrlngton and Farrar
due notice to , vacate. In niuklrtjf
measurements and tearing down he
rear end of the building it was found
that the line of thejot cams about one
foot inside of a partition in the bade
end of the shop and. if cut off there,
would leave the she p open. Knuvsln,;
thla Messrs. f Farrlngton and Fairur
put In a board partition on the outside
of the line of the lot and, it was far
making this repair that they were ar
rested and for which they will be tried.-
Farrlngton. and Farrar state .that,
sometime between Saturday - evening
and Sunday morning some p.irtyt or
parties tore off a large portidn of Khe
exterior of the shop, on the north s.'de,
and also two large patches' from eac h
side of the-roof, which they boardil
up promptly upon discovery. They
Claim that their attorney, Jno A far
son, advised them to put In tht parr
tition and to repair the building so far
as was -neceasary to protect their own
Interests and that they only fWMwcl
out bis advice and Intend to fight the
case through the courts. .
The city council- and city authorltk
who state that the repairs were inada
contrary to thfrlr orders and In defiant
of the ordinance covering that ground
and have.no other Interest only to en
force the observance of the same, have
employed John A. Jeffrey o prjt jt
