PEOPLE OF THE DAY A Journalist's Scheme, General Harrison Gray Otis, editor and publisher of the Los Angeles | Times, has laid before the St. Louls World's fair management a project for a monster newspaper plant at the ex- | position. His idea is to establish a | complete newspaper outflt in the expo- GENERAL HARRISON GRAY OTIS. sition grounds and to issue therefrom special editions of the papers that en- ter the scheme. General Otis says days could be set apart for each paper, to be known as Los Angeles Times day, St. Louis Republic day, for ex- amples, the matrices to be set in the home offices at Chicago, Boston, St. Louis, etc., and forwarded to the man- agers of the undertaking at St. Louis. The general’s idea is to open the doors to not only the journals of this coun- try, but to the whole world. No More Quiet Talks. Our Uncle Shelby Cullom complains of “publicity” when he seeks a quiet talk with the president about Illinois appointments. He recently said: “Get- ting the president’s ear is like opening a window and shouting at the wide, wide world. IIe talks too loud.” And there was a plaintive tone in the voice of our venerated statesman as he described this unusual feature of ‘‘con- fidential” conferences with the presi- dent. So they all say. As far as privacy is concerned they might as well announce on a biliboard the objects of their visits to the White House as to attempt to make it a mat- ter of private conversation with the president. Something That Will Do You Good We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tel them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to ac- quaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for cough colds, and that alarming complaint, We refer to Chamberlain’s Cough temedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has be- come a household necessity. By its prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup.

Any mem- ber desiring to possess his desk noti- fied the clerk of the house and it was reserved for him, to be delivered upon payment of the average price paid for the unclaimed desks sold at auction. Of the 361 members and delegates 238 claimed their desks. The remain- Ing 123 were sold at auetion. They frought a total of $184.50, or an aver- toe of $1.50, and at this price the re- served desks are now being delivered. No one can identify the desks at which famous and prominent men sat, in the years gone by, for in 1893-04 the, seats were rearranged to accommodate. the increased membership following the eleventh census. Doorkeeper Glenn thought he had sccurcd the desk ocecu- pied by the late President McKinley while a member of the house, but is now in doubt and inclined to believe his purchase is without valuable asso- ciation. The probabilities are that half a dozen desks share the honor of hav- ing served the late president, for he had to select a new seat at the begin- ning of cvery congress, and the chances of his securing the same seat twice in successicn were almost in- finitesimal. Admission Only by Card. There is much favorable comment being indulged in among members of the house regarding the recommenda- tion of the house furnishing commis- sion that the public be excluded from the flcor of the house at all times ex- cept upon cards of admission, which the members would control. tepresentative Cannon of Illinois, chairman of the commission making this report, said that he looked for fa- verable action on this matter by the committee on rules. “The intention is not to keep the pub- lic frem the floor of the house,” contin ued Mr. Cannon, “but to regulate the use of the floor so that it may not be. completely occupied by persons who habitually inhabit the capitol and have no earthly business there except per- haps to keep warn. “Upon applicaticn to a member a vis- tor to the capitol would have no difii- culty in obtaining permission to go on the floor. The regulation recommended by the commission was intended only to make such regulation as will pre- serve the hall of the house for the busl- ness and purposes for which it was in- tended.” _. - Tw A Disquieting Rumor, Reports have been in circulation that the famous echoes in Statuary hall at the capitol had been ruined by the new ceiling recently put in place and just opened to public view. Thls was, for the guides at least, a most disquieting rumor, since few things interest tour- ists more than the remarkable whis- pering effects of this chamber. Natu- rally consternation was great at the re- pert that their occupation would be gone. On investigation, however, it turns out that the report was a great exaggeration. Several of the stones, according to cne of the best known of the guides. are as communicative as ever, while cthers are apparently ob- scured. Inasmuch as the dome, from which the light comes, is still covered with a cloth, which is soon to be remov- ed, the restoration of normal condi- tions may work wonders. Bridge to Be Highly Ornamental. There is every reason to believe that the Pennsylvania Railroad company will meet the views of the war depart- ment with respect to making the pro- posed railroad bridge across the Poto- mac near the site of the old Long bridge more ornamental in appearance than was contemplated in the original plans for the structure. Secretary Root has had several informal talks with Mr. Cassatt, president of the rail- road company, in regard to the mat- ter, and Mr. Cassatt has practically promised to build a bridge that will be an ornament to the locality and in harmony with the general scheme of park development in the District, of which Potomac park, crossed by the railroad, is an important feature. To Lead the World. Praise ¢f the District of Columbia and expressions of hope that congress may look on the needs of the capital of the naticn with the same patriotic lib- erality which actvates the American mind in this respect in every section of the country are heard in hotel lobbies | constantly as the sentiment of promi- nent men who come to Washington. Colonel John Ilenry Jones, prominent in the affairs of St. Louis, says, for in- stance: “I am glad congress is at length waking up to the possibilities of devel- oping the nation's capital. The people throughout the country are in entire sympathy with making this city the most attractive in the world.” A Picture of President Diaz, John Barrett, one of the delegates from the United States to the pan- American congress in the City of Mex- ico, called on the president and pre- sented him with a large photograph of President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico. This photograph was sent to President Roosevelt by President Diaz, and it contains in President Diaz's handwrit- ing the most kindly expressions of friendly feeling and warmest sympa- thy for this country and its executive. Mr. Barrett was given charge of the photograph by President Diaz.
