Senator Delivers Gift to Chinaman

WASHINGTON. Senator W. J. Stone the other day journeyed «nt to the Providence hospital, near liere, where, after long search, he located the cot of a Chinaman to whom the senator presented a packet Mrs. Stone had brought from Manila. The Chinaman is L. Ah Maw, valet to Admiral Dewey, and the packet was a remembrance to Mrs. Maw from a brother. The gift was Intrusted to Mrs. Stone at Manila, who promised that It should reach the proper hands In Washington. Senator and Mrs. Stone were in Madia last fall. During their stay the Chinaman served as their particular attendant and was so zealous In his efforts to please that the Missouri senator and his wife came to like him Very mndh. When the American party Started upon their return to the United States their Chinaman confided the foct that he had a brother In Washington, and wished, as the greatest

God to Be Restored to Nation’s Coins

THE- motto “In God We Trust” will be restored to the gold coins from which it was removed by President Roosevelt's orders. The house committee on coinage, weights and measures has reported a bill providing for restoration of the motto and its permanent retention. Indications are that It will pass both houses. President Roosevelt win not veto any measure ' of this kind, and has so told several of his callers. - Representative James, who Introduced one of the bills to restore the motto, said hundreds of letters were •till coming in protesting against the •bolishment of the motto. Immediately after the new gold pieces of the Saint Gaudens design ■were received from the Philadelphia mint early In November last year, the discovery was made that the motto "In God We Trust” had been omitted.

Congressman Has Plan to Help Fanners

Representative scott of Kansas, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, has conceived a novel plan which, he believes, | would enable the fanners of the country to produce better and far larger crops than heretofore. Mr. Scott's proposition involves the establishment of 100 experimental farms, of one acre each, In every county In a group of four western agricultural states for the purpose of giving the farmers a practical demonstration of the best methods growing different crops. It is proposed that the lands for this purpose shall be provided by the farmers themselves and that they shall do the work of cultivation under the direction of the experts of the department of agriculture. No additional appropriation from congress will be required to test Mr. .Scott’s plan, it is explained, as the agricultural department has the requisite number of experts to carry it out. Mr. Scott asserts that enough money fti being wasted by the department in oat farm bulletins and other

Gossip of People and Events Gathered in Washington

favor possible to bestow that a gift be taken to him. Ah Maw is probably the best known Chinaman in Washington. He is permitted to reside in thiß country by special act of congress. He entered the service of Admiral Dewey whten, as commodore, Dewey commanded the American fleet in the Orient. Ah Maw was on board when the United States squadron captured Manila. As a mirk of respect to Admiral Dewey congress passed a law excepting Ah Maw from the exclusion laws. Senator Stone first undertook, last New Year's day, to fulfill his mission of presenting the remembrance from the brother in Manila. Upon that day the Missourian thought to pay a call of respect upon the admiral and transmit the packet, also. Upon reaching the Dewey residence he found all In confusion. The heavy lace curtains in the parlor had caught fire, threatening the destructionof the house and menacing the safety of women guests who were present. Ah Maw rushed into the parlor, tore down the curtains, extinguished tlge fire, saved the house and possibly saved lives. But he was badly, dangerously burned. He was taken to the hospital, and the commission Intrusted to Senator Stone could not be carried out until a few days ago.

The responsibility for the omission was placed at the door of President Roosevelt, for only through an executive order can a change be made In designs for coins. This responsibility the president readily assumed, but, when adverse criticism began to come from all quarters of the country and religious and patriotic societies took up the matter, he decided to issue a statement setting forth his reasons for the action. In this statement the president said there was no warrant of law for the Inscription. Also he said that his own feeling in the matter was due to his “very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use It in any kindred manner, not only does bo good, but does positive harm, and 1b in effect irreverence which comes dangerously close to sacrilege.” The president was firm that he would not order the motto to be replaced unless directed to do so by congress. The president’s statement failed to stem the tide of adverse criticism, and when congress convened numerous bills and resolutions were Introduced and proposed to make it unlawful to issue coins without the Inscription.

clutches of the pondmaster must wear tags, and it is distinctly provided in the bill that the payment of tax does not permit any cat to go upon private property other than that occupied by its owner. If the author and friends of the bill have devised a means of collecting non-taxpaying cats it is kept secret. It is rumored that a fence-scaling brigade, armed with ladders and butterfly nets, will be turned loose to gather In the taxdodgers. The crusade against cats is being led by Mr. MacFarland because of the disturbed state of mind caused him while en route home at nights by thoughtless, indiscriminatlng cats. It is not thought that serious protest will be entered against the proposed law on constitutional grounds that it is class legislation and is aimed at the poor cats of the backyard variety, while the cats of the well-to-do families will be safe from prosecution, because of the protection of a home.

He says that much valuable information has been given by the experts in these publications, but their contents are so little understood by the farmers that they do not derive the knowledge from them which they should obtain as to the best methods of growing com, wheat, hay and other crops.

Berries a Trap for Gama.

Black hawberries are now furnishing delicious meals for hunters In the mountains. They are also being devoured by bears, and they are being picked ofT the branches by coons and opposums. Indeed the black hawberry Is one of the real food products of the woods, and there Is no danger of a lost person starving. You cannot convince a mountaineer that the haw Is not a fttod. The only trouble about It Is that It takes a great many berrleß to make a banquet. It Is the thick, mealy flesh surrounding the seed that is eaten, and In some sections housewives make them into a sort of jelly. Experienced hunters make it a practice to look for bears and grouse in the vicinity of a clump of haw bushes, and generally succeed in finding the game there. The berries grow in large clusters like elderberries, and a quart can be picked In a few mlputee.—Minneapolis Tribune.
