That there is a woeful lack of system and considerable waste of money in the purchasing of supplies for the various government departments in Washington, is shown by the facts brought to light in the investigations of the committee appointed by the president to look into such affairs. For years it has been the custom for each of the several government bureaus to fix its own standard of quality in the different articles used and to make its own purchase of such articles, entirely independent of all other departments. By this method the government has been buying 28 different kinds of ink, 279 different kinds of pens, 12 different makes of typewriter ribbon, and 133 different kinds of pencils. In some cases one department pays more than another for one and the same article. For instance, one bureau pays $1.75 per dozen quarts of ink another pays $3 per dozen quarts, and similar conditions pervail as to many other articles. To overcome this evil and to save Uncle Sam some money, it is now proposed to appoint a general supply board to be under the control and supervision of the secretary of commerce and labor. The head of each government department is to designate one expert employee. pays $3 per dozen quarts, and similar conditions pervail as to many other articles. To overcome this evil and to save Uncle Sam some money, it is now proposed to appoint a general supply board to be under the control and supervision of the secretary of commerce and labor. The head of each government department is to designate one expert employee to serve as a member of the board which will prepare a schedule of the various supplies needed for all of the bureaus, advertise for proposals and then make proper award of contracts. This system would bring matters down to a strictly business basis, and is something that should have been done long ago. The most carelessly managed private business concern would hardly permit such a wasteful system as that which has so long prevailed in the big offices of Uncle Sam. Not in many a day has there been witnessed in Washington such a patriotic spectacle as that which took place at one of the leading theatres on Monday night. On that occasion one hundred and eighty sailors of the American navy, dressed in uniform and from vessels stationed at the American navy, dressed in uniform and from vessels stationed at the Washington naval yard, witnessed a performance of a popular play. They were seated all through the auditorium and here and there throughout the assembly, sat their superior officers, many of them accompanied by their wives. Just as the overture ended there was a stir in one of the boxes nearest the stage. It was caused by the entrance of the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the army and navy. Every "Jackie" arose from his seat instantly and his hand went to his temple. The president smiled and bowed, the orchestra played the national air, and the notable gathering settled itself to enjoy the play. was a stir in one of the boxes nearest the stage. It was caused by the entrance of the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the army and navy. Every "Jackie" arose from his seat instantly and his hand went to his temple. The president smiled and bowed, the orchestra played the national air, and the notable gathering settled itself to enjoy the play. The invitations to the bluejackets was extended through the secretbry of the navy, and in accepting it from the management of the theatre the secretary characterised the courtesy as "a practical demonstration of appreciation of the services rendered to the country by all persons belonging to the navy, and a recognition of the fact that the uniform they wear is a badge of honor." The convening of congress never fails to bring the usual number of cranks to Washington, but this time they seem to be here in greater numbers than ever, and the capital police force is having a time of it to lay hold of the more violent ones in order to place them out of harm's way in the government hospital for the insane. One fellow has a scheme for bottling sunshine; another wants congress to appropriate a million dollars to build a railroad to the moon; while a soldierly-looking man asserts that he is the commander of all the armies of the world. He endeavors to interview senators to ask their assistance in securing several billion dollars to feed, clothe and instruct guished sons of the Hoosier shall be placed in the capitol building alongside that of Oliver P.inton, the famous war-governor that state. Some members are the opinion that former Vice-President Hendricks is entitled to niche, others claim that no reason of Indiana conferred more fame on the state than Benjamin Harrison while not a few hold to the view General Lew Wallace, the vice-president of two wars and a noted author by virtue of his reputation, endured commemoration by a statute. Gen. Wallace's friends are active and say that as a statesman, author and diplomat is more representative of the Hon. state than either Harrison or Harricks, and besides, he was born Indiana. Several prominent pressmen from the state in question believe that the matter should left to a vote of the people and gest that the newspapers of the state should take the matter with the idea of securing express from their readers. Of the hundreds of bills introduced in the house by members far in the present session, few attracted more attention or came more comment than the proposed by Representative Ramsey of Texas. It aims to prohibit doctors and representatives from acting as officers, agents, or attorneys for any trust or public-service corporation, under penalty of a fine imprisonment.

The road runs from Battle Mountain, Nevada, on the main line of the Southern Pacific, to Austin, 93 miles south, and will figure in a new short line to the Pacific coast and Southern California points through the big bonanza camps of Nevada. This line, when completed, will give Gould the advantage over Harriman of 234 miles into Goldfield land 450 miles to Los Angeles. From Austin, the southern terminus of the Nevada Central, to Tonopah is less than 100 miles, and it is one of the richest 100 miles on the continent. South of Austin, between the two points, lie Kingston, Northumberland, Gordon, Round Mountain' Belmont, Monarch, Liberty and Manhattan. All these would be tapped by Gould's short line to Los Angeles, which, while it would be longer by 100 miles than the Salt Lake route, at the same time would pass through the richest mining district of America. With the business of our present overland lines increasing faster than the railroads can get ready to handle it, there is necessity for at least two more overland roads, and three more would have all the freight they could take care of. The office hours of Dr. Roberts, the eye specialist in the Federman building will be on Saturdays hereafter. Other hours by appointment. Dr. Roberts keeps an automobile to visit patients at their homes, when for any reason they can not, or do not care, to come to the office. Mr. Bellicose Storer still insists that his hand was dealt off the bottom of the pack.
