Tlie final a; ', though unofficial,' insofar as the H .iM . a as concerned, took place in the S....;.! chamber where lioth houses witnessed the incoming of the new ad ministration. The Senate met at neon today (Fri day) to consider .'President Taft's nomi nations but the House will not convene again until the extra session of Congress to be called for the 10th int. In the Senate Vice-President Fair banks delivered an address in response to resolutions thanking him for his Con duct of the office. Speaker Cannon received a unanimous vote of thanks. The Speaker wished the members peace, health, happiness and prosperity, and the Senate adjourn ed the members marching over to the Senate. Appropriations by the House during the past eight years, including the fiscal year 1910, were equal to J7,007,83!yS3, and Chairman Tawney declared at the end of the present fiscal year there will be a deficit of '$100,000,000. He placed the appropriations for the expiring ses sion at $l,OM,0i4,2!M. Then Ho Subsided.

The day we reach ed New York a stewardess came to me and said: " 'Oh, Mr. Meet, I Just seen Lady Blank's cabin trunk, and she's taken two if our finest silver Ink wells!"" "Here was a quandary, eh? The captain was called In, and he settled the matter In the unsatisfactory way such things are usually settled. "Ve must teach Lady Blank a les son, he growled. 'At the same time scandal must be avoided.' He thought a moment, then said to the stewardess Take one of the Ink wells and leave the other. That'll show her.' "-Phil adelphla Bulletin. Crafty Master Fox. A fox was one day seen coming out of a pile of stones near the water side. He hid In the heather for awhile and then pushed out some thing on the water, which proved to be a bunch of moss. The wind took it Into the middle of the lake and blew It past some ducks sitting on the surface, navlng watched his venture for perhaps ten minutes with appar ent satisfaction and observed that It neared the ducks without arousing their suspicions, our friend began to collect another and larger bunch of moss, which he allowed to float In the same direction, but this time he swam behind It, taking care to show only his eyes and nose above water. Just as It was passing the group of ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled down a bird and swam back to shore under water. Arrived there, ho carried the duck to the pile of heather, where his wife and daughter were no doubt waiting to enjoy the fruits of his la bors. "Forty-flve Years of Sport." Some Troubles of a Pianist. Harold Bauer, the pianist, has had some curious experiences during his travels. While playing in Barcelona he was challenged to flgbt a duel by an ex cited member of the audience whom he had reproved for disturbing the re cital by his noisy conduct. On another occasion, In Italy, he had to be car ried through an underground tunnel to escape the attentions of frantic ad mirers. One of his most extraordinary expe riences was In Russia. It was In a little town near Moscow, and in the mlddle'of his performance the pianist W(js arrested by the police on the grounds that he was obtaining money under false pretenses. The police ac tion was based on the grounds that a Hungarian dance appeared on the pro pram and that there were no dancers. They overlooked the terrible fact that Mr. Bauer had played two marches without a single soldier being present Cincinnati Tribune. Mrs. Fyffe Declined. Gome years ago It was decided by the navy department that the pres- Tflee of the wives of the naval ofucerr at the Asiatic station detracted too much from their official duties. So a general order was issued to the fleet directing that the wives be sent home. Admiral Fyffe, who was In command of the fleet, received the order ia due time, and it came back to the navy de partment indorsed as follows: 1st Indorsement. Aslatlo Fleet, Yokohama, Japan. (1) Respectfully returned to the secre tary of the navy. (I) I have delivered this order to Mrs. Fyffe. and she refuses to bo. (3) Further Instructions are requested. Respectfully, (Signed) JOSEPH FYFFE. Success Magazine. The Ideal Trunk. The lady had looked at about twenty rtninks without finding one to her sat isfaction.

' .... - New President Is Inaugurated W r-iiiBgtou, March 1 -The first Chief Executive to take tho oath of office in the'cl. amber of the Senate in seventy six years, William 1 loward Taft, today became President of the United States. Accompanied to the capi'tpl by Presi dent Itoosevelt and a guard of honor through a swirl of blinding snow, Mr. Taft retnrned to the White House just as the sun began to force its way through the thinning clouds of gray. A suddon blizzard sweeping in from the Northwest last night, to set away the weather bureau's optimistic promise of 'fair and somewhat cooler," caused an abandonment of the outdoor ceremon ies on the famous cast front of the Cap itol.much to Mr. Tuft's chagrin, and threatened for a time to stop the bril liant pageant of the afternoon. By almost superhuman ell'orts a pas sageway was cleared along the centre of Pennsylvania avenue and for nearljf, three hours President Taft and Vice-President Sherman reviewed a passing column which was replete with martial splendor and picturesque civic display. Following the brilliant and impressive ceremon-'es in the -Semite, during which both President and Vice President took the Oath of office, President Roosevelt -again a private citizen bade an affec tionate aditju to his successor while all in the historic chamber looked on in silence and then bun it d away through a ssde door to take the train for New York. ' As be passed out of the cham ber Mr.'TTooscvelt was given an ovation quite the equal ot tint tendered to the Happy Either Way. The old Puke of VtMIc, who was a Very shabby dresser, met a privileged friend in Bond street, London. Said the privileged friend, a military man of the premier duke's own itge: "Why, duke, what's come to your clothes? You look as if you had raked over your rag bag to find t!:em!" The duke replied, with a slinr,-: "What dues It matter what I weor here? No one knows me!" ,V few- menths later the same friend, himrelf always a well dressed man, met the duke ngnln, pot tering about in the neighborhood of Arundel, the delightful Sjiss-ex village under a hill crowned by the castle from whose name. the eldest son of a Duke ieiryfo'r. always takes hla "courtesy" title Earl of Arundel. "Why, duke," said his friend again, "what's the matter with your clothes?" The duke shrugged his shoulders again. "What does it matter what I wear here? Every one knows me!" Cerman Lotte-ies. In an article en the lotteries the Ber liner Tageblatt says there are three ways by which wealth Is acquired by work, which Is long and tedious; by dishonesty, which Is a precarious pro ceeding, and by gamblin.tr. The. num ber of persons who prefer the last named method, says the writer, is lar:;o in the German realm, fnr t!ien the f;rp.at lotteries thrive best. Tliere are seven of these under the inanagc ir.ont of the poverpment. and tli'.v dis tribute $100:000,000 in prizes. The anx iety to secure a part of ibis amount has destroyed the happiness of thou sands of households and has diverted thousands of good men from honest Industry and thrift to idleness and poverty. In the seven lotteries there are about 22.000 winners a year, but of these only about C50 receive prizes of more than 1,000 marks each. The Old Egg. "New York is no longer young and unsophisticated," said a man who has visited all the old world capital's. "She has now all the weariness ;uid vice f Parts, London and Rome. They who still speak of New York as young, childish, innocent, remind mc of Lord Exo of the Carlton. "Lord Exe, l seventy, tried to had the life of a youth of twenty-live. lie dyed his hair, wore a corset and fre quented the music halls, Piccadilly circus and the Burlington arcade.

The merchants of the State have been fiKhtinx for this for several eats aud many people arRoe with them that the exemption should be made small er. Mr. Dalton stated that ho was not much inclined to think that the law would be changed this rear, as he had questioned a number of the representa tives about the matter and that he did not think they would take action on the matter this year, but he did not know what they would Ultimately do with it. Mr. Dalton was the onlv representa tive that went from this citv, but ho carried the signatures of the other representatives appointed to go ana the Retail Merchants' Association of this City cent a petition signed by 2,IW people to Raleigh. The latter organi zation has decided to renew their efforts to feenre a smaller exemption and has employed attorneys for the porpose of representing their interest. Mr. Dalton was joined in Raleigh by representatives from fifteen other towns and cities in North Carolina intersted in tho pending measure, aud appeared before the joint Senate anil House committee on constitutional aueulments Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. It is believed that a favorable- inipmsion was created by the merchants' iutersts on the Senate com mittee, but there is said to he some doubt relative to action by the House at this time. The nierehnats feel satisfied, however, that the bill hav ing to do with express service, Roods on approval and making married women tree traders will pass at this session. Those interested in an amendment relative to the homestead law appear ed with R. N. Sims, of Raleigh, as attorney. They argued first the bill to amcud the constitution so that the homestead eiepuitiou shall bo $500 realty and 2(hT poreobal property in stead of !,CH) realty and 4300 personal property as now. This was Lefore the joint committee on constitutional aim ti''inei;ts. Speaking for the bill were Mr. Siuims; A. Nichols and II. TaUor Powers, or' Asliville; W. B. McOn-gor of Grt fii.-luiro ; R. I. Dal ton, of Wii:s;on-S:i!i .t.i ; A. I!. Justice, of Chailolic. and N. H. Hetmricks. Others ju the .thicpitiou were J. A. Kelly, of Hemic ii-ei) ; T, W.

Wallace, of Greensboro. The commit tee heard tho argument for the reduc tion of the exemption and took the bill under further advisement before deciding what report to make to tliej assembly. The hills pressed bv tho delegation heforo the Senate judiciary committee! were those designed to make it a mis demeanor for persons to procure from merchants goods to be sent on approv al and then refusing to pay for them on demand, and aslo the bill to further safeguard losses from issuing ot fraudnlent checks. The latter bill was referred to a committee composed of Senator 'Kluttz and Senator Travis ; the bill as to goods on approval to Seuatois Starhuek and Fry. . ; , , t, i . m n iii The salary of President .Taft will be, ' $7.",000 a year, and he will probably bo; allowed f2"),000 a years for traveling ex penses.

The worst of the snow hurri cines struck a Wedge of territory which included Washington and Baltimore. T.ie region south of Philadelphia was well nigh a blank on the map for the' greater part of the day. Reports from Iierryville, Md., GO miles below Philadelphia, said tonight that for ;0 miles beyond that point every wire is down. These lines include some of the best and most expensively constructed wires in the country. The tir.it train frcm Washington to reach Jersey City today arrived at ' o'clock this aftcrnoou and it was due at 7:0!sa. m. Outride New Y rk City three lives were lost in the sinking of six llaltimore & Ohio coal barges at St. (icorge, Stateu Island. In New York harbor barges under tow were blown' ashore while tugs and small boats went scurry ing for cover. Between Baltimore and Washington h undrcds of poles were carried down by the weight of snow and ice and the wind. North and east of the city trains are merely creeping along without aid of telegraphic orders. It may be a week before normal conditions are restored. At no previous time rn the city's his tory has the street car service been d.-ult so severe a blow. The general loss is incalculable. Thousands of people who expected to attend the inaugural ceremonies in Washington were unable to obtain trans portal ion there. COLLEGE NICKNAMES. Some Popular With tho Student3 Ob jection Made to Others. Some of the colleges have a great dislike to the the way In which they are to commonly lri connection referred t with athletics. For Instance, Wee leyau men don't like to lv called "tho MethcdMfi," : they 'appear eonielliiies. At the Naval academy there Is IV strong prejudice against being called "Annapolis." The navy men aren't particularly fond of "midshipmen." They believe the proper name for their institution is "the navy." Columbia has a great distaste for the name of "Columbians" for their repre sentatives in athletics or other public appearances. At the University of Chi cago there Is a dislike of the name "Chicago university," sometimes ap plied. Although pot so strongly opposed to It, students at Pennsylvania do not like the full title "University of Pennsyl vania" as well as plain "Pennsylva nia." "IVun" is preferred to cither. "Maroons" for Chicago men, "Gophers" for Minnesota, "Badgers" for Wis consin students, "Cornhuskers" for Ne braska, "Wolverenes" for Michigan, "Illiui" for the men of Illinois-all are names that are popular at those col leges and are used by tho men thero In speaking of their own teams. In deed, to a man unacquainted with 'nicknames the average statement re- gardlng a conference college Is puz zlinpr becnuse of the almost entire lack of straightont names. New York Sun. THE DOCTORS. Tribute to the Nobility of the Medical Profession. To enter the medical profession Is to find oneself in most noble company. When Dante was led by Yirgll Into tho presence of "the master of them that know" he saw Aristotle surrounded by a group of the sages of antiquity.

Tho student will not j turn to his pages now 'to learn what ; has to be taught hi modern text hooks 1 or class rooms. Yet ho will do well to' lay to heart the spirit that guided "the , father of medicine'' In drawing up tho oath imposed on the students of tho i Illppocratic school.' "With purity and j with holiness," the candidate was ; made to swear, "I will pass my life and practice nly art. Into whatever houses I enter I will go Into them for the benefit of the sick, will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption." In the long succession of those who have enlarged the bounds of his sci ence tho student will meet with a great army of men who have kept tho spirit of that oath under higher sanc tions than were open to the pioneers whom the mediaeval poet consigns to a place in his inferno because, though blameless of sin, they had not been .baptized.
