AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON CURRENT NEWS OF THE , WEEK IN WHICH OUR STATE FIGURES Special to the Tribune, Washington, I). C., July 7. Senator I’otuerene has had bis lling at the trust beads, and in the course of bis argument be fore the Senate contended that 0 “the victories of the Court” will be lost to the Government, un less there are criminal prosecu tions of the officials of the Stan dard Oil Company and the Ameri* ran Tobacco Company. The Ohio Senator declared that (lie Slier man. Anti-trust Law was speci fic in its authority to press such suit against those who have oper ated in restraint of trade. Mr. Pomerene thought that it was "high time that, the American people should understand whe ther the stars and stripes are to be the emblem of the pure and free, or whether that emblem shall be the oil barrel or tile to bacco plant. ” His glittering generalities were pleasing to his audience, but, the general im pression in Washington is that his speech was not taken very seriously. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who was recently connect ed with the Department of Jus tice, took up the cudgels in be half of Attorney General Wiek trsliam, during the Pomerene speech, and declared that tlm pre sent head of the Department of Justice had achieved more re sults in his prosecution of trusts than any of his predecessors. He added that Mr. Wiekorsham did not require instructions from Con gross to do his duty. Senator llitclieoek of Nebraska injected into the discussion the remark that Attorney General Harmon was the first to take tin- posi tion "guilt, is personal." The Democratic wool revision bill passed the House by a vote 221 to 100, and a motion to re commit. made by the Republicans was defeated. On the day that the hill was passed President Taft sent a message to the house buying that it was impossible to transmit certain information re garding tbt! wool schedule be t iiuso the Tariff Board had not completed its labors, lie com plimented the work of the Tariff Board. Tilt' bill as passed re duces the duties on raw wool to twenty percent from a present average late of forty-four per cent. Reduction in the manufac tures of wool are reduced from an average of about ninety per cent to an average of about for ty-two per cent ad valorum. In the final vote the Democratic Members held their forces with the exception of Representative; Francis of Ohio, who deserted his party. Representative Berger, the Milwaukee socialist, voted for the bill as did Representative Aiken of New York. A large number of progressive Republicans voted for the measure and there were three or four who have hereto fore been classed as regulars who joined the Democrats in the pas sage of this bill. The Republi can Members voting with the De mocrats were Representatives An thony and Campbell of Kansas; Anderson, Lindbergh, SteenersonJ Volstead, Davis and Miller, of Minnesota; French, of Idaho; Haugen and Woods, of Iowa; Jackson, Madison, Rees. Murdock and Young of Kansas; Helgesen, of North Dakota; Kent and Ste phens, of California; LaFollette and Warburton, of Washington; Lrimcrf, Nelson, and -Morse of Wisconsin; Norris and Sloan, of Nebraska; and Wedemeyer of Michigan.

TONE Bfend.ri BROS. Do* Molnos, la. Golden Coffee the country, concerning which a controversy lias existed for many years in the War Department. In the course of a short address before the Senate upon this sub ject, the Nebraska Member said that lie was frank to admit that he had a local interest in the matter, and he indicated that 111is interest had to do with ‘‘fair treatment’’ for some forty fam ilies living in his home town. He said lie believed the Committee on Military Affairs of the Sen ate should grant hearings and make some investigations upon the relative merits of the two systems, which “have been tried from time to time, and which have been abandoned and resum ed and abandoned and resumed, each time at a considerable ex pense and each time with great disturbances to the organization i throughout', the country." lie called attention to the fact that Senator Warren of Wyoming, had introduced a resolution relating to the subject, and he asked that the Committee on Military Af fairs ponced with the hearings and investigations of thhc imUter. WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT About sixty ladies were enter tained by Miss Stella Sehoclc last Friday morning, June 30, from nine until twelve o'clock. The house was beautifully de corated for the occasion, pink and white carnations being used in all the rooms and in the dining room ropes of smilax were drawn from the chandelier to the four corners of the table. Pretty hand painted folders were given the guests and the name of sonic character in liter ature was announced. The young ladies were asked to write Ihe name of her sweetheart thereon.

Harley Butler of Barada was in the city Friday distributing bills advertising the Fourth of duly celebration which took place in that town. Th majority of the farmers claim that if we have rain inside the next week or ton days that they will have a good corn crop. Here’s for a good rain and the fulfillment of their wishes. LADY IS HEAVY CONSUMER She Is Supported by the Toil of Oth ers, Who Acquiesce Cheerfully to the Condition. Economically the lady la supported by the toil of others, but while this is equally true of other classes of soci ety, tlie oddity of her case consista of the ncquesience of those most con corned; The lady herself feels no un easiness In her equivocal situation, and the toilers who support her do so with enthusiasm. She is not a pro ducer; in most, communities produc tive labor is by consent unladylike. On the other hand, she Is the heaviest of consumers. Tho women of the working classes have been saved by their work itself. In the shop and the factory they have learned what the nursery can teach. Hut the lady has had no social train ing whatever; the noticeable weak ness tif her play at. bridge is a tend ency to work for her own hand. As the gentleman decays, the lady sur vives as tho strongest evidence of his former predominance. Where he set.' her, there she slays. One after an-, other tlie fabrics that supimrled her have tottered, but she remains, adapt-; Ing herself to each new set of circum stances as It arises. It is possible that an advancing social sentiment will ex tlnguish her altogether, but. she can never 'bo forgotten. AT 60 DEGREES BELOW ZERO )-(ow the Intense Cold of Winter In the Far Northwest Affects Man and Animals. "I asked an Alaskan pioneer who was crossing to his old home in Swe den what happened when the ther mometer goes down to 60 and 80 de grees below zero," said Marshall J. Taylor of Seattle, Wash. "At 60 de grees below,” he said, “the exposed ears, hands or nose will freeze In go ing a quarter of a mile under ordinary circumstances; but the children go and coino from school as usual with out suffering from the cold provided Iheir faces and hands are protected. "They soon get used to It. But cau tion must be used to avoid drawing the cold air into the lungs, and it is dangerous to breathe through the mouth. More die from pneumonia brought on by freezing (he lungs in thnt way lhat from any other form of exposure. Horses are protected by breathing hags, which extend down from the nose of the animal about eighteen inches and are open at the bottom. The breath which is exhaled warms the air In the hag before It Is inhaled and drawn into the lungs. And men wear a ‘parky’ or headdress which extends over the face and af fords similar protection. "In the Canadian districts the North west Mounted police regulate the treat ment of horses on the freight wagons and stage lines in a most humane manner, so as to prevent them from suffering in this way.”—Washington Herald. Roman Bricks. When the preparations for rebuild ing the Campanile In Venice were un dertaken the archaeologists were af forded an opportunity 'to make some interesting studies of the bricks. It was found that they had been used In arches, fortifications, the tops of walls and in other ways before they were built into the Campanile, and that, they were not Venetian but Roman bricks. These ancient bricks were made in slices, for in many the layers could be seen undisturbed. It Is said that bricks made this way can bear a greater weight than modern bricks. The bricks examined were of the first, century. One of them here the imprint of a horseshoe, which, may prove that Romans used a horseshoe like ours although it is generally be lieved that their horseshoes were strapped on, not nailed.—Harper's Weekly. Had Lost Hia Chance. Years ago when the “Panhandle” rail road was in course of construction its progress was a matter of great inter est to the people of the region, says the Youth’s Companion. A farmer who sold provisions to the contractors often reached the place wtysre the men were at work at meal time. He was greatly impressed at their voracity. The work was hard and when the din ner bell rang every man made a dash for the table and before one could be lieve it possible the food had disap peared. One day a workman on his way to the table tripped on the root of a tree and fell. He lay quite still, making no attempt to rise. The farm er rushed to him in great concern. "Are you badly hurt?" he asked. "No.” answered th% man. “Well, why don't you get up and go to dinner?” "No use," returned the other, sadly. "It's too late now.” Mainz Cathedral in Danger. The famous Mainz cathedral, one of the oldest and most Interesting in Eu rope, is stated to bo in serious dan ger, owing to the action of under ground water. Special drainage opera tions have before been carried out with a view to removing the danger, but apparently the results have not been lasting, water having again col lected, and it is feared thal the ef fects on the foundations of the cathe dral will be disastrous. It is now proposed to proceed without delay with the work of strengthening the foundations, not only of the cathe dral, but also of several other old buildings, including the ducal rastle. HE PRAYED FOR LUCY GRAY Bashful Young Curate Didn’t Know Object of Solicitude Was Entry in Steeplechase. How to win tbe hearts of his con gregation was unconsciously solved by an innocent young curate. Dean Hole, I in his "Letters,” tells the following story: "A young curate a good fellow, bulj ! very shy and bashful, came into u parish which was occupied by York shire yeomen who bred horses and pode them and sometimes had steeple chases. He did not get. on and was very much depressed. “One day the clerk said to him: 'If you please, sir, the prayers of tha church are desired for Lucy Gray.’ “ ‘Very well,’ said the curate, and at every service In which the ptay er for all sorts and conditions of men was offered the church was asked to pray for Lucy Gray, till one morn ing the clerk rushed into the vestry and said: ” 'You needn't pray for Lucy Gray tiny more; she’s won the steeple chase.’ "’Have I been praying for a horse?’ asked the curate. ‘I shall leave tho place.’ "But the clerk said: ‘You'll do nawt of the sort, sir; I thought little of ye w-hen ye came, but now ye’ve got the hearts of them all and ye pan do what ye like in the parish since ye took to praying for that horse.’ ’’ MUSIC IS AUDIBLE BEAUTY Its Charm Results From the Marriage of a Spiritual fact With a Ma terial Form. Music is both body and soul, like the man who delights in it. Its body is beauty in the sphere of sound—t audible beauty. But in this very word beauty is implied a soul, a moral end, a meaning of some sort, which makes it of interest to the inner life of man, which relates to our invisible and real self. This beauty, like all other, re sults from the marriage of a spiritual fact with a material form, from the rendering external, and an object of sense that lives in essence only In the soul. Here the material part, which is measured sound, is the embodiment and sensible representative, as well as the reacting cause, of that which we call impulse, sentiment, feeliug, the spring of all our action and ex pression. In a word, it is tho lan guage of the heart—not an arbitrary and conventional representative, as a spoken or written word is, but a natural, invariable, pure type and cor respondence. Speech is the language of ideas, the communicator of thought, the Mercury of the intellectual Olym pus enthroned in each of us.—John Sullivan Dwight. Drinking Wells. The study of various methods of preventing inundations to which French engineers have been led by the disastrous floods in the basin of the Seine last winter has brought to light a very curious plan for dispos ing of surplus water which has been employed during the last five years by the count of Beauchamp on his ex tensive estates between Poitiers and Avalion. Formerly his lands were subjected to disastrous Inundations, but the trouble has been entirely averted by means of “drinking wells." They are dug to a depth of 50 or 60 feet, at chosen points, penetrating a layer which is very absorbent for wa ter. The wells are walled with loose stones, and the surface water is led by ditches and barriers of earth not directly into them but to their neigh borhood, whence it finds its way in by percolation through the walls. It is thus freed from mud, which would quickly choke the wells. The success of the plan depends upon favorable dis position of the geologic strata.— Youth’s Companion. Always Excuses. Col. Edward H. K. Green, discussing business success at the Waldorf-Asto ria in New York, said: "The man who succeeds is the man who does what he sets out to do—nol the man who makes excuses. "Excuses are cheap and easy, but success is hard and rare. Excuses, though, we meet everywhere. Only yesterday, in a downtown restaurant, they gave me a tough chicken. “ ‘Waiter,’ I said, ‘this chicken is old.’ “ ‘Yes. sir,' said the waiter. ‘A very healthy bird, sir. Otherwise, of course, it couldn’t have lived to such a great age.’ ” Liked Them Eat. The contention of Dr. Moots, before the Ohio Medical association, that (here “must l>e something wrong with the internal workings” of thin women, will find ready indorsement among the Apache Indians. Some years ago a delegation from that tribe came to New York, and at a reception given for them a Woman asked one of the chiefs what he thought of the white women he had seen. The late Gov. Richard McCormick, who had charge of the party, reluctantly returned the answer given to him by the interpre ter: “White women are all thin and sick—good women are fat.” An lnd:gnant Mob. “What's all the excitement over there on the corner? Somebody hurt?” "Worse’n that. One of th' boys has just dis overed in the sportin’ col . : s : r there’s a mistake of two in V, Goochy’s battin’ record." Buy FURNITURE of us.
