One reason Wwhy the American enlisted men are so su- perior to those of other countries is be- cause the United States Government pays more for their gervices, and our war ves- sels are so ably manned that I believe that if all the officers on a ship were killed in action ‘the men could fight the ship to victory.

WALLACB, ldaho, Dec. 9.—Mrs. Eu- gene Day, one of the owners of the Her- cules mine, started divorce proceedings to-day alleging cruel and inhuman treat- ment. She claims her husband ordered | her out of the house and threatened to throw her out. According to the complaint Day is the owner of an undivided three-quarter in- terest in the Hercules mine, which is said to be worm $10,000,000, which, with bonds, stocks and mortgages brings his total wealth to about $1,000,000. Mrs. Day alleges property was put in the name of his brother to defraud her. She asks for $10,000 suit money, attorneys’ fees, haif of the defendant's earnings and tem- porary alimony, a receiver for his inter- ests, division of the property and her maiden name. : Mr. and Mrs. Day were maried at Mul- lan,- January 24, 1905, after a romantic courtship. A short time prior to the mar- riage Mrs. Day was taken ill with pneu- monia. Day brought a doctor from Port- land on a speclal train in a record-break: ing run.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Distinguished | Buests were_entertained by the Gridiron | The | table at the New Willard was spread for more than 200 persons, among them being nearly all the mem- bers of tHe Cabinet, foreign Embassadors | senators and Representa- | tives and prominent men from every part of the country. The programme was unusually attrac- skits, the songs and the speeches, all| tended to make the dinner a memorable | occasion among the many given by this ‘fumous club of Washington correspond- | ents. | “A Peace Conference,” composed of | | members of the club, endeavored to set- | who | the | club, but all was unavailing until finally a messenger from William T. Jerome of Since the club is composed of news- paper men, it was to be expected- that in which he forbadegmembers of his Cabinet to speak to reporters, should receive at- tention. This was given in an act in which three new members of the club were initiated. The stage was qraped completely in black. To the right was a skeleton, with In the center, seated, was the grand inquisitor, whose make-up clearly indicated that he was intended to represent the President. To the left was a person designated “Head Devil,” who was supposed to represent Secretary Loeb. There were three large electric gridirons in the form of chairs, and on these the three candidates for m ssion were required to sit, while members of the Cabinet prodded them with long toas..ng forks. ‘‘Here are three candidates for admis- said the mas- ter of ceremonies. “They are in a sad predicament. Two of them were caught | red-handed in writing special dispatches | on Cabinet matters. Tue third is suspect- ed of having voted the regular Repube lcan ticket at the last election.

They have not been used | to torment.” | There followed torments in the form of embarrassing questions put by the grand inquisitor. ‘At the end of the act everything was blamed on Losb. The “'Head Devil” and the grand inquisi.or sang the following song to the tune of “Give my Regards ! to Broadway,” the cabinet joining in the | refrain: I nave issued a new order, Keeping everybody mum; My Cabinet keeps silent where they Used to make things hum With downcast eye they pass you by, They feel they're doing wrong, But I laugh ha, ha, ha!

Refrain: Give my regards to Moody, Remember me to Cortelyou; Tell Shaw and Taft and all the Cabinet That I know what to do. ‘Whisper to Hitchcock softly, T'll practice upon him anon; Tll ind a way to give out news No matter if the gag is on. There was also a telepathic act in which | guests of the dinner were supposed to have written messages on slips of paper, which were read by a professor of telepa- thy. Here are a few of the messages al- leged to have been written: ““Secretary Shaw—I1 positively refuse to stay in the Cabinet after March 4, 1909.” | ‘“‘Secretary Loeb—Nobody knows the | trouble I have.” ““Secretary Taft—What's sixteen mil- lions between friends?” | “‘Secretary Wilson—There’'s many a leak between the cotton and the crook.” *“J. P. Morgan—New York Life fasci- nates.” “Paul Morton—Every insurance presi- dent should own his own submarine boat.” “Senator Aldrich—Some folks say oil | and sugar won't combine, but I know they will.” Several dispatches were received in a “fake” ' wireless telegraph apparatus. These were read, greatly to the smuse- ment of the guests. The musical numbers included several, topical songs touching different men about the table. One of them, a parody | on a_popular alr; was “Everybody Works | but Fairbanks,” referring to the fact that the duties .of the Vice President are not onerous. The menu was a large blanket ballot, upon which the guests were grouped un- der different emblems and devices.” There | were tickets entitled “Temple of Fame,” “Finance Cincheurance,” ‘‘Real Railroad | Rate Reform,” ‘““Waiting 'List of the| Roosevelt Club,” ‘“Demi-Pop, Formerly Republican Party,” untie Rebaters,” “Also Running” .and ‘‘Autoreformers.” ——————— WASHINGTON, Dec, 0.—Apparent order was restored to-day at Howard University follow- ing_the stormy revolt of yesterday, but the students. are still “‘on strike.” ONE-THIRD LESS ‘Than Regular Prices presents a saving opportunity in the purchase of Victor Rec- ords never before offered.

It was presided over by Supervisor John Connor, chairman of the Street Committee, who outlined the objects and the conclusion of the members in the following words: “The United Railroads wants to string wires on Sutter street so that the system will have uniformity with | the othér electric roads under its con- trol. It is the duty of the Supervisors to get what we can that will benefit the citizens along the Sutter-street line. The proposition, if accepted, will mean an overnead trolley, with feed wires underground, ornamental poles and the lighting of the thoroughfares. “The property-owners on the Sutter- street line have selected thelir represen- tatives, as have the citizens in other partg of the eity, through thé press has demanded the underground system. We cannot go against the will of the people. Whether or not they are educated to the differ- ences in the systems it is not for us to judge. The majority demands the un- | derground system and it is our duty to give it to them. “We have consistently followed the policy of putting all wires underground and spent money for the buying of po- | lice and fire alarm wires. We have even decided to make the Geary-street railroad a conduit system. We have taken into consideration the report of Engineer Parsons, who holds for the overhead wires, and it is a question as to whether the road is prepared to meet the public's demands.” Supervisor Roek of the Street Com- mittee indorsed the statement of Mr. Connor and added that the people want improved service and do not care what means of transportation are employed. He said that the majority of the people demanded the underground system and that it was the duty of the Saperyisors te give it to them regardless of person- al opinfon. Dr. A. A. D'Ancona of the Finance Committee said that the Ilife of the Sutter street franchiSe would . be ap- proximately twenty-three years and that the board must of necessity de- mand the most modern-system extant. He referred to the system of conduits in New York and Washington, where the underground method's efficiency had been demonstrated, and also re- ferred to the success of the system in the cities of Furope. He maintained that Sutter street could not be separ- ated from Market street and if the overhead was placed on Sutter street, it must be placed on Market and to this the Supervisors would never consent. Supervisor Brandenstein of the Fi- nance Committee expressed himself in favor of the overhead system on Sut- ter street on the ground that the furn- ishing of light to the eity was a big inducement and equal to police protec- tion. He maintained that-the railread company was unalterably fixed upon the overhead or the cable system and | that Sutter street would not receive the rapld transit it needs so badly. He joined the others in voting against the grant, however, on the ground that the majority of the citizens want the un- derground system throughout the city. Supervisor Braunhart of the Street Committee sald that.the question was not alone as to the road on Sutter street, but as to the Supervisors’ policy concerning an underground system throughout the city. e maintatned that Fngineer Parsons’ view and that of Mr, Calhonn do not meet the senti- ment of the public. He said that the Street Committee was in no position to judge which was the best system, but must_comply with the demands of the Woman’s Nightmare The critical ordeal thron, howevu. is so fraught wif mflu very thonght of it fills hn There is no necessity for .rhng-'m Thnnofthmnhl’run the coming event. that it is great and wonderful med is n.lwnyo £ mmd bas carried thousands :'.m throu, h 2 mlilw:tbm-l of priceicen: ufl"“‘fl lhclruloull-hnres.uq.,. safely No woman’s happi. ness can be complete mmont <hildren; it beautiful and whid: the expectant mother must p.m-nfl'ermguldm and horror, of to be either painful the system for Mmthutuyi* This Mother’s Friend and public opinion | people.
