Undo Joe Gels Back at La Follctto. He) burn Insulted Again John A. Martin Stirs the Sugar. Dy JAMES A. EDGERTON. Our Washington Correspondent. NOTHING has happened of re cent years (hat save such startling proof of the world's progress as the change in tho cuf of General J. Warren Kel ler's coat. General Kelfcr has been fa mous for many things, not least of which was that ho clung to the old fashioned swallowtail. He was a sur torlnl reminiscence of Webster and Clay. Ills linbllluient was not unlike that which blossoms In Washington after sunset, except that Kelfer wore his in the middle of the day. Indeed. GENERAL J. WARREN EEIFKK. it was so much a part of him that the Irreverent wondered if ho did not sleep In it. or at least In pajamas of the same cut. Tlcture the surprise of the house, therefore, when General Kelfer appeared recently in an ordi nary sack suit. No sucli sensation has stirred congress since Sereno E. Payne cut off his whiskers. There Is no longer the slightest doubt that the house has been revolutionized. The change in the house rules was taken by some as proof of that fact. The cut of General Kclfer's coat clinches it. The last Issue of the government healfli reports call attention to a new disease. It Is culled straw itch and is supposed to attack those who sleep on straw mattresses. It is due to a small mite that Infests the straw. Nothing is said about people who sleep in straw stacks or haymows, but perhaps their skins are suiliciently protected by dirt casiugs to render them immune. The incident of barring Representa tive Trancis Burton Harrison of New York from the White House created a buzz of gossip for an hour and then was put aside as "a closed incident" by all concerned. Ilarrlsou ascribed the snub to his comments on the ante dating of the Wlckersham opinion on the Balllnger-GIavls case. This Bal llnger matter seems to have the power of causing unpleasant happeulugs that follow after it like a comet's tail. A report comes all the way from Michigan that the snub to Represent ative Harrison is not the only one that Presideut Taft has administered. When Taft spoke at Jackson bo was introduced by Representative Town send. Mr. Townsend also presented other notables, but somehow failed to see Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, who sat on the platform with an ex pectnnt look on ids face and an unde livered speech In his system. Now Townsend is a candidate for tho sen ate against Burrows, although this may or may not have had anything to do with the oversight. At any rate, Taft evidently thought it had. for he turned the tables by inviting Burrows to ride with hlra in his privute car, but could not see Townsend. The talk of the hour continues to buzz about tho proposal of a new party. The return of Roosevelt heightens tho escltement. Did Pinchot reflect the views of his formur chief? Were his attacks on the tarlC and his demands that tho privileged interests get out of politics inspired by that famous forest Interview In Europe from which he emerged with such a shining face? "Was the hint of a "new pnrty" only figurative or Is It to become literal? What significance Is there In tho fact that James It. Garfield backed up this talk by one almost as radical and the further one that tho Roosevelt club of St. Paul stood sponsor for both? These are the questions with which Washington is humming. Fortunately tho answer need not bo long deferred sinco Roosevc't Is now hero and his first political utterance will clear the atmosphere. Even Hhould tho former president decllno to follow tho new political trail blazed by Pinchot. will tho fired forester, Garfield, La Toilette, Cummins, Dolllver and tho other in surgents go without him? One of tho byplays of tho house fight to adopt the senate railroad bill was nn indirect threat by tho speaker to rule Senator La Follctto off tho floor. Tho "Wisconsin senator camo over to counsel his followers In tin1 other end of the capltol. a Is his habit when nny important Insurant light 1- tip. The moment he appeared oil tin- !liii" n bevy of prows-dves gathered about him and a cotifeicneo' wa soon In full blast. Senator-! (.'lapp ami Hrlstuw joined it and most of the house In surgents. Fi ml!;.- Uncle Joe, looking directly at La I'ollette. said that if visitors occupying seats in tho house by courtesy did not cease cAversatlou tho rules would bo enforced. La Toi lette glared back, but soon left Ihc chamber. Tho Incident recalls another. One day when La Toilette was speaking In tho sennte Uncle .Too strolled In and engaged n friend in conversation. Look ing directly at Cannon, the Wisconsin senator said that he would desist until conversation had been concluded. Un do Joe beat a retreat to the cloakroom. Perhaps wheu he called La Toilette to order ho was only getting even. One of the anomalies of Washington life is that President Taft is personally most popular with a large number of Democratic senators and representa tives, among them Senators Bailey and Bacon. "He's the salt of tho earth, nndI hate to differ from him politically," remarked n Democratic visitor. There is occasionally a funny thing happens In the senate. The other day Heyburn was cutting the air into jig saw pattcrus in a characteristic way and after a long speech was evidently preparing to close, when Senator Cum mins nrose to ask n question. Senator Eugene nalo thereupon remarked sotto voce, but In tones loud enough to bo heard over tho ohnmber, "Oh. don't stir him up again." Heyburn resented the remark and said It was insolent. Halo admitted that it was Insolent, but gave no indication of retracting it. where upon there were audible smiles, ney burn went up In the air and said he was prepared to resent the insult "In any way on earth." whereupon the smiles grew louder. Hale joining in the merriment. On another day Senator Bailey bad grown incensed at tho treatment ac corded Burton of Ohio by the com mittee In charge of tho rivers and harbors bill. So Incensed was tho Texas senator that when the senate shortly nfterward went Into executive session he held up a lot of nomina tions on the point of no quorum. It was then impossible to get a quorum. but Bailey refused to yield, remarking that ho was "thoroughly angry." Richard Parr, the man who laid bare the sugar trust frauds at tho New York custom house, Is to have his re ward. As between $3,000,000 and S-l,- 000,000 wns recovered through Parr's agency, he Is entitled under the law to claim ns much as CO per cent for his share, which would amount to more than $1,500,000. There is no probabil ity that he will make such a claim or that It would be allowed if he did. If he gets only 2o per cent he will still have a neat sum, more than any other reformer or graft hunter of our ac quaintance has mado out of his efforts In behalf of the public. The retirement of General William L. Marshall, chief of engineers, re moves from active life one of the most distinguished men in the army. He entered the Union army at sixteen and after serving for more than a year became a student at West Point and so distinguished himself that he was mado an assistant professor on graduation. Among tho famous con struction works with which he was connected may be mentioned the lev ees of tho lower Mississippi, the Hen nepin canal, the eastern and southern entrances to New York harbor and tho Improvements of the Ambrose channel. Ho is the inventor of the automatic movable dams and lock gates. Ho Is also the discoverer of Marshall's pass. In Colorado. He has been chief of tho engineers for nearly twelve years. General Marshall mar ried tho daughter of the late Senator Colquitt of Georgia. From time to time all through the session Representative John A. Martin of Colorado has been Introducing reso lutions of inquiry into tho sales of the friar lands lu tho Philippines. Fl- nally he has got action. In respouso to some of his resolutions the war joiin a. UAirriN. department has sent lu Information that soiae of tUo Philippine officials hare been leasing tho lands to tho sugar trust. As a result a mass meet ing of protest against these abuses has been held In Manila, and Martin has Introduced another resolution, this tltno calling for a thorough Investigation and charging malfeasance In ofllce. WELY BREVITIES Five Is the sacred Chinese number. "French brier root" Is really heather. Tho Japanese iollco are exceedingly polite. Tho Mexican city of Mazatlau will roou have a Pasteur Institute. Homo rule for Ireland wus tirst mooted by an organized association In 1870. A school devoted exclusively to the study of motorboats has been started at New York. Tuberculosis stands at the head of the list of diseases which n 01 let the American Indian. Japan's postal service Is tho cheap est lu the world. Letters travel for 2 sen about seven-tenths of a penny. A vessel was recently launched at a Scotch shipyard with all her machin ery aboard and steam up ready to start. A now boat, claimed by tho inventor to bo unslnkable, is made by covering a perforated steel shell with granu lated cork. Ireland accounts for about sixty-four out of every hundred persons employed in linen manufactured In the United Kingdom. The Brazilian government is begin ning to pay attention to the cultivation and Improvement of various fruits for exportation. Boats driven by electric storage are utilized for business purposes in Ger many to a greater extent than In any of the other countries. The wireless telegraph apparatus on the transatlantic liner Caronla is the most powerful afloat, having a radius of action of 1,200 miles. A memorial to tho late speaker of congress, Thomas B. Reed, is to be unveiled In Portland, Me., in August. It is to cost $40,000 and will stand on tho western promenade. Tests made by army officers indicate that projectiles fired from tho heaviest guns when they penetrate concrete do so cleanly, without splintering or scat tering It In eighteen years, with tho Increase in steam vessels and decrease In sail ing ships, the deaths annually due to wrecks and casualties to ships have decreased to about one-third. Tho word "calorlculture" has beeu coined to designate the new system of horticulture which is designed to re place the old French style of intenslvel fruit and vegetable forcing by soil cul tivation. Letters curiously formed and written with red chalk on a card In tho win-, dow of a frame building in New lork not 300 yards from Columbia univer sity announce, "Day Bored and Vokel Musick Taught." In all King Viccor Emmanuel's fa mous collection of coins tho treasure most prized by that monarch Is an an cient Montenegrin gold coin, the only other known example of which Is in tho numlsmatleal gallery at Vienna. China has discovered that It needs to run Its postal and telegraph systems Itself instead of depending upon tho labor of foreigners. The Celestial em pire is therefore opening schools to train young men to enter these two services. Tho battleship Indiana has under gone some tests of the "ship brako" with which she has been equipped. It was found that the vessel could be brought to a stop within the distance of her owu length without injurious shock or strain. Three hundred years ago the first homo of wood was erected on Manhat tan Island. It was near where the west end of Pearl street is aud was made of rough logs quite different from tho last one of steel and stone now being built not far from the same site. At tho present rate of increase near ly forty-five years must elapse before sufficient hospital accommodations to provide for all the indigent consump tives in the United States will be pro vided, declares the National Associa tion For tho Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Measurements of the senior class at Yale compared with measurements of the senior class of forty-Six years ago show that the college man of today is almost exactly the height of his grand father, but ho weighs sixteen pouuds more and has n chest measure of near ly two Inches more. A ferry service between Dover and Culals is now being organized, and In two years' time, according to Sir Wil liam White and Sir John Wolfo Bar ry, tho advising engineers, passengers will travel between England nnd France without change of cars. Rail way ferries such as are commonly in use in many parts of tho United States will bo employed. Papers have been discovered show ing that an eminent Englishman once urged that King George III. offer Washington a dukedom aud a sum of money. In return Washington was to ask for terms for America "fair and Just" from tho British point of view. Probably the suggested bribo was never offered. Certainly if It was the answer was not such as to give King Georgo a high oplulon of tho perspicac ity of his adviser. Queen Olga of Greeco is tho only woman admiral in tho world. Sho was Grand Duchess Olga Constant! nova of Russia when sho married Prlnco William of Denmark, who aft erward was elected king of tho Hel lenes and assumed tho tltlo of Georgo I. Before the wedding Alexander III., then the czar, appointed her an ad miral In tho Russian navy. Today sho la the commander of tho second squad ron of tho Russian fleet. yte JUNGLE HAT. It's Like ths Shape Teddy Wore In Egypt. k SAILOR SHAPE FOR TUB SUMMER GIR&. Could anything be better adapted to keep off the rays of the sun and at the same time prove a becoming frame for a pretty girl's face than the sailor hat seen in the picture? It is called the Roosevelt or jungle hat and was suggested to an English designer of woman's millinery after looking at the hat "our Teddy" wore while In Egypt. The necessary femi nine modifications were made, and the hat stands a blessing to the girl who goes out much In tho strong sun or who loves canoeing. A Return to Nature. "I'm sick of this bony style of beau ty," a man was heard to remark a few days ago. "This walking skeleton, bi sected, hollow cheeked, meager crea ture that the modern woman has made herself into docs not suit me. I like it when I seen plump, comfortable, round faced, laughing eyed woman with a waist which does not suggest torture and Indigestion." Whether this Is a sign of a "return to nature" In the body of woman one cannot tell. This may be but "the one sane wall from the one sane man," but It Is set down as a possible straw which may indicate a change In the wind. A Wealthy New York woman went to her physician recently. She was "feeling bad" In a good many differ ent ways. He asked her all sorts of questions and discovered that she was engaged In the same mad hunt that nine-tenths of our women are carry ing on for slenderness and the Invisi ble waist. "Madam," he said sternly, "you need no medicine. All you need are three square meals each day. with .perhaps three or four hours of good hard house work and plenty of fresh air." You can imagine how mad she was. Parson a Mossback on Suffrage. There's a clergyman in England who does not want women to get their rights. He says so frankly and vows that if women ever get them he will leave tho country. He Is the Rev. A. J. Waldron. vicar of Brixton. "Women want their rights," said he. "When they get them 1 will emigrate." He does not see why women should wish to enter politics or even want to vote. His contention Is that women should remain at home, should not work for a living uuless absolutely compelled to and should give up women's clubs. Ho says women are destined for the home and should not be permitted to vote. Whnn GantUR Burns. When she is writlug. Mrs. Wilson Woodrow says, she wants to bite something hard.

One of the pleasant signs of the times Is tho growing disposi tion, manifested in many quarters and through many agencies, to re member the ancient proverb, that "a merciful man will be merciful to his beast." In Its efforts to bring about tho humane disposal of old or wornout horses the Boston work horse parade association Is meeting with encourag ing success, and It believes that tho conviction Is rapidly spreading that disabled or superannuated horses, especially such as are owned by large concerns and by city governments, ought not to be sold. Many of the larger corporations never sell an old or wornout horso; others see that they fall Into good hands when they dispose of them, and still others graduate their horses to lighter work as equine old r.go comes on. There Is no old ago pension schome for horses In this country. In several European countries tho problem Is solved by eating tho horse a more compassionate method of treating him than keeping him at work until he drops In his tracks. "I that am cruel and yet merciful," said tho Moor of Venice. Boston Globe. Artificial Diamonds. The pretended discovery of the Frenchman, Henri Lemolne, of a new way of making artificial diamonds has been exposed, but the subject con tinues to attract sober scientific atten tion. Lomolne was laughed at be cause ho asserted that it was neces sary to use "powdered sugar carbon" in his process. But, as a writer In Nature shows, this ridicule was groundless, since sugar carbon is tho purest form of amorphous carbon, and was that employed by Moissan In his experiments when he actually did obtain minute diamonds after subject ing the 'carbon to very high tempera ture and very great pressure. Le moine's formula contained nothing new, and was in itself absurd. It does not, at present, appear probable that diamonds of marketable size can be obtained by artificial processes. Mighty Work of Earthquakes. Dr. John M. Clarke, from recent studies of records and contemporary documents combined with that of geo logical dislocations in the St. Law rence and Champlaln valleys, con cludes that the Canadian earthquake of 1663 was the severest disturbance this continent has ever suffered from terrestrial dislocation. There was a great movement of the crust along the course of the St. Lawrence River, the palezolc rocks slipping against the shield of crystalline rocks where they are in contact, and the destructive ef fects from Montreal down to Tadousac were tremendous. Doctor Clarke thinks that the displacement of the rocks were continued In the direction of Lake Champlaln valley along the line of contact with the great crystal line mass of the Adirondack region. No Nickname with J. What you want to do for that kid," said the old bachelor, who had backed oft suspicuously from the new baby "is to call him something that can'i be nicknamed. The way to do that is to give him J for a middle initial. I have made a study of proper names and their nicknames, and I have fig ured out that there isn't one chance in a million of the boy whose middle name begins with J ever being nick named. Positive immunity is guaran teed by Wllljam J. Ju3t cast your eye over the William J's you have heard of, and see If ono of them is ever called BUI by any except the hopeless ly Jocular, and even they don't dare say it to William J.'s face."

Tho smallest sheep In the world Is the tiny Breton sheep. It is too small to be profitable to raise, for It cannot have much wool, nnd as for eating, why, a hungry man could eat a whole sheep at a single meal. It takes Its name from the part of Trance whero It Is most raised. It Is the dearest little pot Imaginable. It Is very gentle, and because It Is so tiny It Is not such n nuisance about tho house as the famous lamb which bolonged to the little girl named Mary. Any llttlo girl could find room In her lap for a Breton sheep. One of Its peculiarities Is Its extreme sympathy with the feelings of its human frlend3 when it has been brought up in tho house as a pet. If its master or mis tress Is pleased about anything the little sheep will frisk about with overy sign of Joy. On the contrary, if tcar3 are being shed the sympathetic sheep will utter the most pitiful "Ba-a" over heard. Washington Star. Keeping Coal Under Water. When coal Is left for a long time exposed to tho air It deteriorates. Not only does it become more pliable, but chemical changes take place which diminish Its heating power when burned. Experiments made by the English Admiralty have shown that coal stored under water, and particu larly under sea-water, escapes most of the deterioration that It undergoes In the epen atmosphere. At Hong kong, where it had been found that coal in ordinary storage lost from 30 to 35 per cent of Its calorific power, the same kind of coal kept under sea water, at a depth of 30 feet, remained intact fcr 5 years. Thirty-six hours' exposure to sun nnd air sufficed to dry it ready for use.
