SCOTT STEKNKR, Aiwistant Local Editor. (PUBLISHKI) KVKRY THURSDAY WASHINGTON LETTER. (From otir Regular Correspondent/) WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 1911. This week in Congress lias been of great interest and importance in legislative matters the House has passed the Canadian Reciprocity Kill by a large majority and it is predicted that the bill will pass the Senate. It will not, however, liave smooth sailing and if it were not for the impression that the President will call an extra session of Congress almost immediately after the 4th of March, provided the Senate does not vote on the reciprocity bill, it is doubtful if a vote could be had before the 4th of March. If the bill comes to a vote, there is but little doubt that it will be passed, because a major ity in favor of the bill in the Senate is conceded, but owing to parlia mentary usage in the Senate, there can be limitless debate, and the upper house has some limitless de baters who are quite capable of talking the bill into the next ses sion. * * The opinion in regard to Presi dent Taft as a politician and a statesman has risen considerably since the beginning of the present session. It is conceded that he is in the main master of the situation and when reciprocity with Canada is established, as the better minds of the country think it will be, there is prospect of reciprocal trade relations between the United States and Mexico and with the Central and South American republics. "With these ends accomplished -close onto the completion of the Panama Canal, the administration is sure to finish with eclat, if not with another term for President Taft. There is much unfavorable com ment from all parties in reference to what is called the "blundering blatherskite diplomacy," or rather the lack of it, of the Democratic heir-apparent to the speakership of the House of Representatives. Nothing could have been more in opportune than the statement that reciprocal trade relations were pre liminary to the annexation of Brit ish America, and a foolish remark (may be the ruin of what promised to "be a most beneficent trade ar rangement. It is yet time for the Democratic majority to pause and reconsider the propriety of electing a political marplot to a high office. A hundred or more years ago there was a ducking stool in England for silencing old women who talk ed too much. An appropriation for such an instrument and a water tank would not be bad for the Na tional Capitol. * * It is something more than op portune that the exposure of the great lumber trust conies fast upon the heels of reciprocity with Can ada and the proposed free impor tation of lumber from that coun try. The Bureau of Corporations has just furnished the information that forty years ago 7- r > percent, of the timber of the country was own ed by the government, but at pres ent KO per cent, of it is owned by private persons. It is apparent that the United States must con nerve with greatest care the small remaining supply of timber and, further, it must, if possible, scotch the trust that is monopo lizing with a view to increasing still further the exorbitant cost of such timber as is not at present under their control.

WASIIINUTON, I'KHKI AKY IS Neitr ly one thousand patriot* at the Cap itol are awaiting with deep anxiety the decision of President Taft relative to an extra session of Congress. They are Republican office holders, most of whom have been on the government pay roll so long they have come to con aider thcmaelves fixtures there. Since March 4, 1897, the date upon which William McKinley succeeded Grover Cleveland aa President, the Republi can party has been in uninterrupted control of the House of Representa tives. With the return of the Republi can party to the majority side of the House every position in the organiza tion of that body, excepting a very few conceded to the minority, was Idled by the appointment of a Republican and ail of these positions have since been held by Republicans. Congress is the one branch of the federal govern ment which has refused to recognize the merit system. Not a civil service regulation of any character has ever been enforced in either House or Sen ate, nor is any examination required to establish the qualification of an ap plicant for a capitol appointment. It is at the capitol alone that one may find au appointive method that sug gests the so called "spoils system", of a quarter of a century ago. If President Taft does not call Con Kress to meet in extra session every Republican office holder in the House organization will hold his place until next December, when the Democrats will reorganize that body. Then the Democrats will have at their disposal some of the higest salaried and most desirable positions in the government service. The salaries range from that of the Clerk of the House, $6,000 a year, down to the wages of the laborer on the "temporary roll." With the change in the political complexion of the House, Pennsylvania will lose the office of Clerk, which for 36 years has been tilled by a Pennsylvanian. Ed ward McPherson, of Gettysburg, was Clerk for 16 years. When the Demo crats returned to control the Clerkship WBH given to James Kerr, of Clearfield, succeeded by Major Alexander Mc- Dowell, of Sharon, who has held the place for nearly sixteen years. This time the Keystone State has no candi idate for Clerk and the office is expect ed goto a southern state. It will be no easy task for the Demo crats to fill the places at their disposal. The Democracy has been separated from the patronage trough so lo lg that office hungry party workers in every state will demand appointment. If there were ten thousand places instead of one thousand to be filled there still would not be nearly enough togo round. Missionary Society. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, of Rich Valley, will be held at the home of Mrs. Frank Lockwood, on Wednesday, March 1, 1911.

ANCESTORS CF f!W FOM Great Emperor of France Was De scended on Both Sides From Dis tinguished Italian Families. On the paternal side hp was de scended from one of the moat illus trious families of Florence. Civil dissension occasioned many of the noble families to emigrate from time to time, among whom was tiie an cestor of that branch of the Bona parte family from which Napoleon was descended. When the island of Corsica be came subject to France, Carolo Bo naparte, the father of Napoleon, whose profession was the law, was chosen to represent the nobility of the country. He afterward received the appointment of "procureur de roi," or king's attorney general, at Ajaccio. Napoleon was educated at the Ecole Royale Miljtaire at Paris, an institution founded by Louis XY. for the education of the sons of noble families with small fortunes for the military service; and his eldest sis ter was educated at the academy of St. Cyr, which was a foundation for the education of young ladies of noble family. On the maternal side the descent of Bonaparte is still more distin guished. The family of Ramolini, to which his mother Madame Bona parte, belonged, is one of the most ancient in the republic of Genoa, and allied not only to all the principal families of that republic, but to the families of most of the great poten tates of Europe. PRIDE ALL AROUND "I'm proud to say," boasted the man with the large stomach and the immense solitaire, "that I ain't never wasted any time readin' poetry." "Well," ventured the gentleman with the seedy clothes and the high brow, "if the poets were asked they would probably agree that they were proud of it, too." BAVING THEIR WINDOWS. It used to be the custom of brides on their wedding trip to leave their signatures as reminders of their honeymoon on the mirrors and win dows of the rooms they occupied in hotels, but the custom, according to hotel keepers, has been given up, at least so far as experiences go in this city, which probably entertains more newlyweds than any other city in the country, says the New York Sun. Nowadays the hotels don't think it necessary to have a special warn ing against the defacement of their property by the brides. A remind er of the custom still lingers about the old Astor house, however. There the visitor will still find conspicuous ly displayed in the notice to guests tacked on the door this warning: "Guests arc warned against using diamonds on the mirrors or window panes of this room." IT LOOKED LIKE IT. Little Arthur saw his father talk ing to a man who hold an ear trum pet to his ear. Arthur stared at the man in amazement. Finally, the man observing him, said: "My lit tle man, you're wondering what this is. You see, I am very deaf. T am a fine swimmer, and being in the wa ter so often, I got water in my ears, and I am obliged to use this." Ar thur was deeply interested, and asked: "Is that an ear pump to pump the water out?" PREFERS TO WORK. A young society woman in I/iwell, Mass., Miss Clam Francis, got tired of the ''social whirl" and divided to do something worth while and make a living by it.

Perkins Says Men Who Could Be Enormously Rich but Won't Will Have Best- Reputations. George W. Perkins, who has sev ered hi 9 connection with the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., in order to de vote his time to public work, said the other day at a Union League club dinner that he had made up his mind that a man could no longer ob tain distinction in America by the mere making of money —that was too common. Mr. Perkins implied that for the future the highest and most distin guished reputations in this country will be achieved by men who could be enormously rich but won't—men who devote exceptional financial tal ents to the solution of economic problems—in the interest of the people. Speaking still more recent ly before the Quill club, Mr. Perkins unfolded his meaning at some length. lie undertook to speak of corporations, capital, labor and prof its as if he were a financial expert retained as an attorney for the pub lic ! Nobody will deny that the pub lic is in sore need of skillful econom ic counsel. And if Mr. Perkins suc ceeds in establishing his credit as a disinterested public adviser he will, indeed, have found a new road to distinction—a path fresh with the dew of the morning.—New York American. Union Friendly Society. Another big time that will go down in the annals of history of the Union Friendly Society, is the progressive heart party given by Mr. Max F. Bat come at his home on Sixth ptreet, last Thursday evening Twenty-eight members and guests were present at the meeting. At the conclusion of the games elegant refreshments were serv ed. Mr. Arthur Catlin was successful in winning the first prize and received a most beautiful bouquetof roses. Miss Marlon Rentz was awarded the con solation prize and received a tiny hatchet and she can now be a close | second to the famous and illustrious 112 Washington. "She did it with her , little hatchet." Several other games | were played and a short business meet- ; ing of the society was held. In the i still hours of the morning the happy | party broke up and the guests "silent ly'' departed for their home. Training Class.
