The militant suffragettes certainty have
tho courare of their opinions and lose no
.pportuntty of pressing their propaganda
to the front. A caao In po nt occurred at
the Hippodrome recently during the per
formance of a comedy sketch called "H.
M. B. Terhaps." Part of the plot is the
discovery of a number of suffritfetsts, who
ire In hiding on the deck of the battle
hip, and who, on being discovered, are
fluntt overboard without ceremony.
Borne half-doxen auffrairlsts who occu
pied scats In the front of the hall, rose
from their scats and loudly protested
against tha rough handling- which theft
sisters In the play received and refused
to be shouted down by the audience.
As the women persisted In their protest
the police were called In and the Interrupt
ers forcibly ejected. They offered great
resistance, however, and clung with might
' ind main to the orchestra railing.
Specialty of Klntta.
Many people have torgotten that Blr
Frederick Treves, who went to Balmoral
the other day, operated a few years ago
on King George V, and he haa therefore
had the unique experience of performing
speraltona on two kings of England.
Although the great surgeon haa long
since retired from general practice, ha
still attends on the royal family. He la an
Intimate friend of King George, who ad
mires his outspoken manner as much as
his surgical genius. Blr Frederick, Indeed,
never haa been afraid of Saying exactly
what he thinks. He told King Edward
when the famous operation of 1102 was de
elded on that he would give 10,000 to es
cape tha duty of performing It.
If he chose. Sir Frederick Treves might
at this moment be earning the largest In
come enjoyed by any medical practitioner.
for he Is still as able and active as ever.
He retired from practice because he was
really tired of taking out an appendix
every morning. He performed an opera
tlon as regularly as ha had hla breakfast,
and 'far more regularly than he had his
lunch, for he often had to lunoh In his car
riage, as lie went hla round of visits. sir
Frederick, tt Is said, haa performed no
fewer than 1,000 operations for appendloitla
and never lost a case.

as not until no me time later that the
custodian examined the signatures and
found out for the first time the Identity
of his visitors.
Popalnr Prlaeea Bereaved.
General sympathy haa been extended to
Princess Alexandsr George of Teck over
the death of her baby son, Prince Maurice.
For many years past this young princess,
who la now in her ZStli year, haa been
one of the most popular members Of our
royal family, and was a particular pet of
the late King Edward. She waa married
to Queen Mary's youngest brother a little
over six years ago. It waa essentially a
love match, and though neither of the
young couple were well endowed with this
World's goods, their married life began
under the happiest ausplcss.
At that time Prince Alexander was serv
ing In the Aldarshot command, and King
Edward lent them as a residence the royal
pavilion there. This arrangement waa emi
nently satisfactory to the princess, and
she found the somewhat cramped accom
modation of the pavilion quite sufficient
for their modest requirements. Further.
Aldershot la very conveniently situated
for Esher, where Is Claremont, her home,
and she waa thus able to slip away and
have a helpful chat with her mother, th
much-loved duchess of Albany, after
lunch, and be back In time for dinner. In
those days she was a familiar figure on
the i o'clock fast train from Aldershot,
which used to be stopped at Esber for her
convenience.
Hard n m Ob.
In this connection an amusing story may
be told. One day a young officer, who
had Just been appointed to Aldershot, and
an exceedingly well known military Jour
nalist were chatting on the platform at
Aldershot station when Princess Alexander
entered, accompanied by a maid.
The officer looked her over critically,
aa he gave his embryo moustache a twist,
and remarked to his companion, "Douoed
pretty girl, that! If she' going to town, I
have a good mind to travel With her."
"Oh, I should, old chap," laughed his
companion. "Perhaps you would Ilka an
introduction t"
"I should. If you know her," replied the
self-satisfied subaltern, thoughtfully.
"Wall. I cannot say I know her Per
sonally,' answered the Journalist, thought
fully. "You see, she Is Prinoesa Alexander
of Teck, and a nleoa of the king, and my
personal friendship with the royal family!
Is rather limited."

(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, V. C. Oct 1-Tha In
terstate Commerce commissioners and the
vast Interests with which they have to
deal are Just beginning to realise some
thing of the large, deep, wida powers con
ferred upon the commission by congress
at Ita last session. The commission ap
pears to be proceeding with due aauUon
toward the solution of tha first real ust

ti,at oondiUons Justify higher rates on
many commodiiiea, which aiiippers vigor-c-isly
deny. The commission temporarily
bet aside these rates, pending investigation.
Under the old law the burden of proof
was on the shipper to show that the rate
waa unreasonable. Now the burden of
proof Is on the carrier to snow Justine
lion for increases. Behind the questioning
of the acts of the commission looms the
coming , shadow of the new commerce
court, winch will organise- as soon as
President Taft appoints Its members. The
popular guess la this will be dona about
the first of December.
Army Met Advocate Pensions.
The most important reinforcement to the
ranks of the agitator for pensions for old
government employes comes from three
prominent army officers, Inspector Uen
cral Uarllngton. Commissary ., General
Sharps and Paymaster General Whipple.
They are all strong advocates of Increased
pay for faithful and efficient employes of
ths government. Paymaster General
Whipple has Just reoomiriended In a re
port that the pending "reclassification bill'
be passed by congress. The bill waa re
ported last February. The three army
officers have had constant ' use for
civilian employes of a high class and art
particularly appreciative of the fact that
they are hard to get and easy to loss when
more lucrative pay outside ths government
offers.
1ST Cenaaalttees Are Safe.
The mutations and vicissitudes of politics
have ao far but lightly touched tha big
oommlttee of the two houses of congress
which have to do with river and harbor
legislation. The senate oommlttee on com'
merce has so far not lost a member out
of its seventeen. Of the twenty members
of tha house committee on rivers and
harbors but two McLachlan of California,
and Tener of Pennsylvania, have been
eliminated. The members of these com
mittees alwaya attend the meetings of the
National Rivera and Harbors congress, and
will be on hand In full force at tha next
convention, December T, I and f. Chairman
Alexander is rounding out hla first year
as head of the house committee, and It
Is conceded on all stdel that he haa made
a most admirable chairman accurate and
conservative, yet progressive; a man after
the heart of the maesed of tha great mam
bershln of tha National River and Har
bor congress.
GoTerameaf Win Vital Verdict.
In an action for fir trespass on ths
Black Hill national forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River & Northwestern railroad, the Jury
ha awarded damages to the government,
hot only for the loss Of merchantable Urn
ber, but also for the destruction of un
merchantable young growth.
This Is regarded by government officials
as establishing a very important precedent.
Bo far as Is known at the United States
Department of Agriculture, It is the first
time thst any court has recognised hat
foresters call the "expectation of value"
of young growth as furnishing a basis
for the award of damage. The difficulty
in the way of such an award In the past
has been that there was no way to prove
to tho satisfaction of the rnurts the money
value of the loss suffered.
The award In the Bouth Dakota case
followed the presentation of evidence as
to the cost of work In reforesting, which
the government is actually doing In the
Black Hills.
The amount claimed for the young growth
burned was SI 2 an acre, and the claim
under this Item waa allowed In full by
the Jury. The total am unt of damages
claimed was U.71S ?5, of which S2.M4.46
was for merchantable timber destroyed or
Injured by the fire.
Where new growth can be expected by
atural aowlng from seed-trees on the
ground within a short time, artificial
planting or sowing is sn unnecessarily ex
pensive method. To meet such rases what
are known as "yield tables" are being pre
pared. By the use of these the loss can
be shown In terms of the final crop and
the time necessary to produce It.
Thus, If It Is known that 10,000 feet of
Umber per acre can be cut once' In ssv
enty years. It Is easy to calculate the
value of the crop when It Is ten years
old by discounting from Its value when
mature. In European countriea where for
estry has beei long practiced, this method
Is regularly applied In selling, condemn
ing, or estimating damages on forest prop
erty. It Is also used abroad In Insurance.
Note, of National Capital.
The familiar facea of a score or more
of congressmen are to be seen in Wash
ington Just now, notwithstanding the con
gressional campaign Is In full swing. But
they are not here on politics. They are
statesmen from distant, rural districts, who
have come here to put their young chil
dren In eome of the excellent schools
In which the naUonal capital abounds. In
this way for years many a youngster
has got his educational atart In Washing
ton. Reports to the commissioner of Internal
revenue show that In the month of Au
gust 11 Illicit distilleries wsre seised In
the Georgia-Alabama district more than
were ever before seised In any Internal
revenue district. In July ninety-nine Illicit
distilleries were seised In this district.
Georgia and Alabama are both state-wide
prohlblUon states, and the great lrvoree.se
In "moonshlnlng" is attributed to that
