PARTIES PLEDGED TO EXTRA SESSION Either Taft or Bryan Will Have '"Congress on Hands," If Elected.

STARTS NEXT MARCH TARIFF QUESTION IS CAUSE OF PROMISES MADE AND PROPER LEGISLATION WILL BE THE RESULT. (Special to the Palladium.) Washington, Aug. 29. The next President of the United States is go ing to have "Congress on his'hands" with a vengeance. Both parties are pledged to immediate revision of the tariff and Judge Taft is specifically pledged, In the event of his election, Immediately upon his inauguration to call an extraordinary session of Congress to begin the work of constructing a new tariff law. The extra session probably would begin not later than the 20th of next March. Even with the preliminary work now under way, it would be well long in the Summer and probably Fall before the measure was ready for the President's signature. Even if a Republican President and a Republican House are elected, there Is such a difference of opinion among Republicans as to how far tariff revision hould extend that the Job is going to be a difficult one. The election of a Democratic House or a Democratic President or both, with the Senate remaining Republican, would make It all the harder. The session to begin the first Monday In December of next year will be the regular "long session" and an accumulation of matters that were pasted over last winter will make It unusually long. As Is always the case, as little business as possible was done on the even of the presidential election; and as there were more of them last winter than ordinarily, there will be unusual work for the next long session. In addition to this accumulation, the matter of currency reform will likely be taken up at the second session of the 61st Congress. The commission provided for in the Aidrich bill is now in Europe and has Interviewed the Rothschilds, the Bank of England governors, and other old world financiers. It probably will be ready to report by December of next year, and the legislation expected to follow will be even more difficult than revision of the tariff. The country still has a fresh recollection of how hard It was to pass the Aid rich bill, which provided only a temporary arrangement for giving elasticity to the currency. When it conies to a complete change In the financial system. there will be as many minds as there are men in Congress. Washington Is keenly Interested In the selection by Iowa of a successor of the late Senator Allison. This interest is due in part to the commanding position which Mr. Allison occupied In the Senate and in part to the per i sonallty of Gov. Cummins, who aspires ' to the vacant seat. Gov. Cummins is fairly well known in Washington and is admired even by those who do not agree with his radical views on many public questions. The belief is accepted that should Cummins come to the Senate he would Join forces with Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, and the two of them would be able to stir up a lot of trouble for the "old timers." The radical camp in the Senate will be still further reinforced when Mr. Bristow comes as the. successor of Senator Long. Senator LaFollette took a lot of interest in Bristow and did all he could to aid in his campaign against Long. There has been but little public speculation lately as to what New York Republican will succeed Senator Thomas C. Piatt, whose term expires March 3 next, but the matter has by no means been lost 6ight of by New York Repnblicans. The latest story on the subject is that friends of George B. Cortelyou are quietly but earnestly at work in his behalf and that they are meeting with considerable encouragement. K was senatorial aspirations, it is now stated, that deterred Mr. Cortelyou from becoming a candidate against Gov. Hughes for the gubernatorial nomination.

Laborers Dare Death as They Work High On Brooklyn Bridge

New York, Aug. 29. Feats more hair raising and thrilling than those of a circus are -seen every day by New Yorkers who cross the Brooklyn bridge. Just above the Brooklyn bridge Is the new Manhattan bridge now in the most Interesting stage of its construction. The huge wire cables that are to support the roadway are being "spliced" Into position. Long narrow swaying walkways hang from temporary cables over the housetops and the East river. Laborers run up and down these swinging walks, apparently without thought of the 320-foot fall which a slip of the foot would cause. They perform all sorts of high wire feats, not with thought of applause, but for bread and butter. COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE MEET IN FRISCO Great Educators Give dresses. AdSan Francisco, Cal., Aug. 29.

Serious For Once. An army captain on returning home from India brought with him a goodly stock of souvenirs. Among them was a pair of laughing jackasses, which he Intrusted to one of the sailors, Tom Pinch. Alast The unaccustomed shipboard life did not agree with the creatures, and in spite of all Tom's care they pined and finally died. When he discovered the catastrophe, Tom was in despair. "I daren't tell the captain!" "Don't shirk it, mate." said his pal. "Break it to him gently. You'll find it'll be all right." The advice seemed sound, and Tom sought the gallant captain. "Scuse me, sir," he said, "you know them things below what you call larfin' jackasses? Well, sir, they ain't got nufan to larf at this morning." London Scraps. His Choice of Weapons. M. Victor Nolr, an illiterate bully of the time of the second empire, for no real reason whatever sent a French statesman a challenge to fight a duel. Noir was a densely ignorant man. and nearly every word in the challenge was misspelled. The statesman responded with the following letter: "Dear Sir You have called me out without any good reasons. I have therefore the choice of weapons. I choose the spelling book, and you are a dead man." The duel was never fought . Counting It Up. There Is a son of Erin In Newton, Mass., who is quite a character. He has a number of children and was asked one day how long he had been married. "Well," he said, "there's Eugene is forty and Norah thirty-five, that makes slvinty-flve, and Lizzie is thirty-two, and how many do that make?' Tha Wise One. Thin Boarder I don't see how yon manage to fare so well at this boarding house. I have Industriously courted the landlady and all her daughters, but I'm half starved. Fat Boarder I courted the cook.

"I'm a live western wire. I'll marry the man who opens this letter if he looks good to me and will stand for a leap-year proposal. Elsie McFarling, 18 years of age, full of life and fun, added the foregoing words in a footnote In a letter replying to an advertisement of the Edison Electric company of New York. J. D. Weaver, an electrician in the company's employ, hemmed between lofty walls of brick and steel on lower Manhattan, read the letter and the footnote a half. dozen times. Acting in the impulse he resigned his position and afterward he sent a letter

Work is scarce just now, even for cable men. Many of them take all sorts of chances in order to hold their jobs, among 250 men employed on the great bridge. Often men will be seen to walk across the narrow beams in order to save a little time. Although the actual construction of the cables has now been in progress many months, the number of men meeting with serious accidents is very small. The river span of the bridge is 1,470 feet, a little shorter than the old Brooklyn bridge. Steel towers instead of stone will suspend the four huge cables which are to suspend the

bridge proper. Each of these cables contains thirty-seven strands and each strand 258 wires. The winding of these strands into cables is the process now going on. BOY HAD DEATH GRIP ON ROCKS All That Saved Youngster From Death. Stamford, Conn., Aug. 29. Mark Greenburg, of No. 45 St. John place, this city, fell overboard at Waterside, where he lost consciousness, yet the boy clung, how long no one knows, to a rock at the edge of the harbor in a deathlike grip, one so strong that three men had difficulty in breaking it. Presumably he fell ovei board while taking a nap on the Rippewan Yacht Club wharf. Mrs. George Scrobogna saw him clinging to the rock. With the assistance of some men she broke his hold and hauled him out of the water. Seemingly he was dead, but Mrs. Scrobogna rolled him on a barrel and applied other measures of resuscitation. Finally she forced some whiskey into his mouth, then he began to breathe. A physician arrived and the boy was taken to Stamford Hospital. He is believed to be out of danger. POOLE'S FAMOUS FEAT. la Splitting Paper He Went One Better Than an English Expert. Lucius Poole, a brother of William Poole, the librarian whose name is perpetuated in" "Poole's Index," was known throughout the country for his rare skill in restoring and repairing old documents and reprints. He lived for thirty years. in a house at the south end, Boston, with three congenial spirits,one a collector of Dickensana. the second of Napoleonana and the third a collector of first editions. Poole wns a collector, too, of books, letters and programmes relating to the stage. lie had a remarkable faculty for matching old paper and could put a corner or a patch on a letter or a playbill so neatly that it could be noticed only under a magnifying glass. Mr. Toole's famous feat of splitting a magazine page Into four leaves or layers was brought about by an English inlay er, who showed Mr. Poole a puge split in three leaves with the printing on it unmarred. The American said that he could do all that the Englishman had done, and more, and after some experiments produced a page of the Century Magazine split in four leaves. This was taken to London by a book collector, who had gone abroad to add to his library, and after the page had been the rounds of the clubs there it was sent to Paris and caused the Frenchmen to wonder. Portland Advertiser. THE SUN AND MOON. Quaint Folklore Stories Concerning; Theae Lumtnnrien. The most touching of all folklore stories may be found in Charles F. Lummis' "Fueblo Folklore." It is one of the many myths of the moon and beautifully conceived. The sun is the Allfather, the moon the Allmother, and both shine with equal light in the heavens. But the Trues, the superior divinities, find that man, the animals, the flowers, weary of a constant day. They agree to put out the Allfather's, or sun's, eyes. The Allmother, the uioou, offers herself as a sacrifice. "Blind me," she says, "and leave my husband's eyes." The Trues say, "It is good, woman." They accept the sacrifice and take away one of the Allmother's eyes; hence the moon is less brilliant than the sun. The man finds rest at night, and the flowers sleep. In Mrs. Leiber Cohen's translation of Sacher Masoch's "Jewish Tales" there is a variant of the sun and moon story derived from the Talmud. Briefly told, the sun and moon are equally luminous. It is the moon who wants to be more brilliant than the sun. Deity is angered at her demands. Her light is lessened. "The moon grew pale. Then God pitied her and gave her the stars for companions." Results in Pretty Western Girl to the girl in the west, adding: "I'm coming out to have a look." Weaver was as good as his word and he came to Spokane as fast as steam could carry him. After a drive of 20 miles south of Spokane he presented himself at the McFarling home. His credentials were satisfactory and Miss McFarling was not disappointed in his appearance. A few days afterward Weaver secured a license to wed Miss McFarling and Justice George W. Stocker performed the ceremony in the Spokane county court house. Weaver has engaged in the electrical business in Spokane and he and his bride will make their home here.

For One Price of Admission.

Under the new order, out-of-town visitars may spend a long day at the exposition, from early in the morning until the last cars for home at night, taking their meals on the grounds and seeing the features of tho day and evening for one price of admission. "It has always been the purpose of the state fair," said Mr. Downing, "to make the exposition not only larger, but of better quality year after year, and there has seen wonderful expan sion along these lines in the last eight or ten years. Exhibitors have been coming with better live stock and more of it, the state board has been improving its facilities for giving a fair, and better yet. the people of Indiana have been pouring through the fair gates in much greater numbers. In no direction has the Indiana fair grown more than in attendance, and the state board is anxious to have the fair win still greater favor all along the line." Henry W.
