Custom Compelled Herbert Gladstone to Borrow a Misfit Tile In House of Commons.

London, Mar. 24. Hats." play, an important part in1 the government of the British empire, as carted on at the House of Commons, and the member who disregards any of the unwritten rules that prescribe what he must do and what he must not do with his headgear, when engaged in legislating, is deemed guilty of an offense almost as serious as that committed by Mr. Dillon when he called Mr. Chamberlain "a damned liar." For some reason or more probably for no reason whatever custom has ordained that when a member of parliament wishes to raise a point of order after a motion has been put, instead of rising, he must remain seated and must address the chairman with his hat on.

Herbert Gladstone, who, despite the handicap Imposed upon him by a-name so famous, is a very capable man, afforded ludicrous ax-ample the other evening of the absurdity of parliamentary hat etiquette. As chief opposition he was anxious to protest against some ruling of the chairman. He raised one hand to call attention to his purpose and stretched forth the other to seek his hat, for, contrary to custom though in this instance it is not a castiron one he had been listening to the discussion with head uncovered. To his consternation he could not find his hat and was struck dumb, not with horror exactly, but by the knowledge that without a hat on his head he himself would be out of order in rising to a point of order though he did it sitting down. His friends at once perceived what It was that had suddenly sealed his lips, and half a dozen of them proffered him their hats.

Mr. Gladstone grabbed the first hat extended to him. It happened to be that of Sir Joseph Lee's, which is many sizes too big for him. But that made no difference. It was a hat and it sufficed to enable him to let loose the pent up flood gates of his oratory, without running the risk of any dire pains or penalties.

Pbelp. U. LL.D.,o( Dartmouth ITnlrereliy-Faraous Discoverer of Paine's Celery Compound: silk hat. And custom alno proscribed that he should wear a frock coat It is true that an old Irish patriot-John Martin did appear with a white low-crowned hat but It is a tradition that the speaker called him to his, room and remonstrated with him for his violation of time-honored traditions. But the advent of the workingman member, which began In 1880, wrought a change as regards the requirement that members should wear a uniform headgear and coat of a prescribed cut and color.

A working man member of Parliament who appeared In a silk hat and a frock coat would have been mobbed by his constituency. Therefore, exceptions had to be made In his favor, and the breach made soon became a wide one. Members now wear any hat they please, from "billy-cocks" to "bowlers," but Parliament is still as rigidly insistent as ever when a hat must and must not be worn.

Worth Reaching f.L II G7 PARSONS Droporlos and Texas Railroad Comision Sayt Mean Things About Katy and Santa Fa Railroads. Austin, Mar. 24. The Texas railroad commission makes sensation al charges against the Santa Fe and the Missouri, Kansas Texas in its anual report It says: "It is safe to say, when the Atchison, Topeka Santa. Fe and Missouri, Kansas Texas railway companies have been induced to disgorge the amounts which we believe that those systems have plundered, by one device and another for years, that the summary of the in come accounts of Texas railroads will show a respectable balance on the opposite side what it now does.

It is simply an imposition on the credulity of the public and of this commis sion that the Missouri, Kansas Tex as railway company of Texas, on which originated 520.1S8 bales of the 2,828,503 bales of cotton hauled in Texas during the year ended June 30, 1902, should have reported an income from operation of only $754,880.21 for that year; and the second highest cot ton originating road, the Gulf," Colo-roadd and Santa Fe, with 420.537 bales, comes out that year, according to the report for it, with a paying operating expenses, taxes and interest on bonds. Cotton is regarded by all the railroad traffic men in Tex as as the cream of the freight bus! ness. They fight harder against re ductions in the freight rates on it than on any other commodity. Yet the two companies which enjoyed the greatest share of this business figure out in their reports to us deficits suf ficient to overwhelm the net credit balance of the remainder of the rail road companies in the state." THE. POSTAL CONGRESS.

It Has Been Delayed to Await the Ar rival of Foreign Delegates United States to Be Represented. London, Mar. 24. Adices from Rome say that the proceedings of the World Postal congress scheduled to begin in that city today may be delay ed a few days to await the arrival of some foreign delegates. The congress will be attended by representatives of all the countries within the Postal union in Europe, America and Austra lia.

Former Congressman Loud of California has been designated to represent the United States govern ment A determined attempt will be made at the congress to obtain acceptance of the principle of universal penny postage. Sir Joseph Ward, postmast er general to New Zealand, will move a resolution declaring Its desirability. He will be able to spealc with the authority of personal and official experience. New Zealand having long established for itself penny postage, not only within its own borders, but by sea-borne mails. Five years ago, when the last postal conference took place at Washington, the representative of Great Britain proposed a universal two-penny postage.

This failed to gain general acquiescence, but the apostles of universal penny postage now look forward with sanguine hope to the- result of the Rome conference. MAKES LAW PLAIN TO THEM. Some Kansas County Commissioners Have Refused Aid to Institutes. Topeka, Mar. 24.

In several counties the commissioners refused to give aid to county teachers' institutes. Sup. Dayhoff believes it is due to the fact that the law has been misquoted. In order to set the commis- sioners right he has sent to each coun- ty superintendent a true copy of the law, with instructi6ns to call the attention of the commissioners to It. He thinks they will then lend aid to the institutes.

The law reads: "Section 6227. Expenses. S. 123. To defray the expenses of said institute, the county superintendent shall require the payment of a fee of SI from each candidate for a teacher's certificate, and the payment of SI registration for each person attending the normal institute; and the board of county commissioners shall appropriate for the further support of such in stitute such'sums as the county superintendent may deem necessary; provided, such an appropriation does not in any one year exceed the sum of $100."

Preliminary Hearing in Justice New ton's Court Thia Afternoon Bond Fixed at Wffl colored porter of the Kimball hotel, who cut Dare Johnson, a porter from the National hotel it the Katy station last Thursday night, was bound over to the district court this afternoon. The preliminary hearing was held In Justice Newton's court The state introduced three witnesses who testified that they saw Douglas juse the knife.

These were if. Al Roberts, Alex Phillip! and A. Smith They also testified that they saw the ly looking knife, now in Justice Newton's possesion, in Douglas' band at the time of the difficulty. Adam Page 'who arrested Douglas and Dr. E.

W. Boardman who dressed Johnson's wounds testified for the state. Douglas bond was fixed at $500. He and his friends are making an effort to secure the bond but there is little hope of success. Douglaf is commit ted and will be taken to Oswego this evening or tomorrow morning.

The case will be" taken up the first day of the coming term of court and the bond adjusted to satisfy the state of ficers. The difficulty at the. station grew out of trouble between the two men Douglas struck Johnson in the back with a knife blade which madea bad gash and entered as far as the kid neys. It was thought that the wound might-prove fatal at the time and there is yet a posibility that Johnson may not recover. He was able to at tend the trial today but is in a bad condition.
