Over in Ohio they don’t spend the bet- ter part of the sessions of the Legislature in Jlaveriug over impossible primary laws under State supervision, but permit each political party to make their own rales when it is desired to ascertain the party sentiment as to Senator or President. Per- baps, after all, it is the better way. One thing is certain in Pennsylvania, pamely, that the old plan was better than some of the new ones proposed. His Home Dynamited. Richmond.

James Scarlet, chief counsel of the ney General Todd to take charge of the proposed criminal and civil suits against certain persons involved in the capitol scandal. No action will be taken, however, until after the com- mission completes its inquiry and makes a final report. Criminal prosecutions will be a cer tain result of the capitol investigation. Following the report of the probers, a recommendation will be made by Gov: ernor Stuart that at least three per) sons prominently identified with the construction and furnishing of the state building be placed under arrest. This statement was made on good au- thority. The suits will be based on the tes- timony showing that the contractor collected from the state for 752 ther- mostate and ins‘alled only 363, and on the substitution of domestic for Baccarat glass, and an inferior glass for Tiffany favrile. John H. Sander- son & Co., general contractors for the furnishings; Joseph M. Huston, archi- tect for the building commission, and also the board of grounds and build- ings, and James H. Shumaker, former superintendent of grounds and build- ings, are among those involved in the ecandal.. The commission issued the follow- ing formal statement: “At the executive session of the capitol investigating commission it was decided to dispense with public hearing of testimony until the reports of the auditors and experts now at work are completed. “The examination of all bidders and sub-contractors within reach of the commission's subpoena has been about completed. It is essential for the work of the commisssion that before going into the final line of inquiry that all possible information be in possession of the commission and its counsel. For these reasons, as well as the further one of securing time to make search for additional testimony, the action was taken. “It wae also decided by the commis- sion to have prepared and presented to the legislature a resolution permit- ting the capitol investigating commis- sion to continue its work after the ad- journment of the session.” A New Orleans Dish. The greatest, the most toothsome and sustaining of all dishes is the gombo file one encounters in New Orleans— not at public eating houses, but in pri- vate residences. It is a strange yet halcyon compound of five different in- tegers, each cooked separately and aft- erward joined in a most delectable and fragrant mess. There are fried chicken, broiled bacon, stewed oysters, peppers and smothered onions, all pre- pared with unutterable skill. These one by one are emptied into a pot of most celestial “stock,” and then when the conglomeration Is complete for service the presiding genius of the kitchen pours into the ecstatic confec- tion a shower of fine green dust—the powdered leaf of the sassafras—and there you have a plate that would have made Lucullus gasp in simple wonder. There is none like it nor shall be till Sue summers are deceased.—New York un. Hammers. Hammers are represented on the monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resembled the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the ex- traction of nails, The first hammer was undoubtedly a stone held in the hand. Claw hammers were Invented some time during the middle ages. II- luminated manuscripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty instruments used by the jeweler, which weigh less than half an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham- mer of shipbuilding establishments, some of which weigh as much as fifty tons and have a falling force'of from ninety to a hundred. Every trade has its own hammer and its own way of using it. Famous Scotch Author Succumbs to Blood Poisoning, WAS ON A LECTURE TOUR Burlington, Ia, May 7.—The Rev. Dr. John Watson (lan Maclaren), the distinguished author of Scotch stories, died at Mount Pleasant, Ia., of blcod poisoning, following tonsilitis. He was taken ill at Mount Pleasant April 25. Dr. Watson came to Mount Pleasant on April 22 from Minneapolis to de- liver a lecture to the students of the Iowa Wesleyan University. En route Dr. Watson became ill, and was com- pelled to cancel the date for the lec- ture. The illness, which was declared to be tonmsilitis, progressed favorably. Last Monday and Tuesday the patient was able to be up and around, and transacted some business. Wednes- day an abscess formed on the right ear. The system absorbed pus, and in 24 hours developed serious symptoms. The physicians regarded the case as critical, but hoped to stem the tide of the disease. Blood poisoning set in, and on Saturday other abscesses start- ed to form on the left ear and throat. The patient's condition was aggravat- ed by a bad attack of rheumatism. Dr. Watson's end was sudden and un- expected, and was hastened by a weak heart. His wife, who was his constant companion in his last illness, left the room. She was gone about 15 min- utes, and returning, found her husband lifeless. Rev. Dr. John Watson (Ian MacLa- ren) was born at Morningtree, Sussex, England, November 3, 1850. He was the eldest son of the late John Wat- son, an employe of the British civil service, Dr. Watson received his edu- cation at Edinburgh University and in Germany, and was ordained a min- ister in 1875. He was appointed Ly- man Beecher lecturer at Yale Univer- sity in 1896, and was made minister of Sefton Park Presbyterian church, Liverpool, in 1880, retaining that posi- tion until 1905. Among the publica- tions of “lan MacLaren” were “Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush,” “The Days of Auld Lang Syne,” “A Doctor of the Old School,” etc, and among the works signed John Watson were “The Mind of the Master,” “The Cure of Souls,” “The Potter's Wheel,” “Com- panions of the Sorrowful Way,” “The Life of the Master,” “Doctrines of Grace,” “The Homely Virtues” and “The Inspiration of Faith.” WILL ISSUE BONDS Jamestown Exposition Needs $400,000 For General Purposes.
