H. Hall, weather observer at Eureka says that from March 1st.to March 15th inclusive, our county seat had but 17.3 hours sunshine out of a possible 174.9 hours. February had a ratio of 20 percent sunshine, the lowest ever known in Eureka, thought it just doubled the first half of March. As soon as the weather settles, the actual work of construction upon the connecting link of the Santa Fe railroad system between Eureka and San Francisco will begin. Shively's Bluff, near Pepperwood, will be the starting point for the work. At that place a long tunnel is to be built. The work to be done this year will very materially lessen the gap now existing , but the obstacles to be overcome are such that all hope of completing the road within two years seems to have been abandoned, but it is authoritatively stated that within three or four years the road will be operating. When completed the cost of construction will doubtless reach nearly $15,000,000. + [M. microfilm printout showing column format is with originals] Fair-expo lifestyle?

Miss Grace Lincoln Temple, of Washington, D. C., is in charge of the interior decorations of the U. S. Government Building at the world's fair. The work, under plans drawn by Miss Temple, has made considerable progress. "The plan of the interior decorations," said Miss Temple, " uses the architectural members of the building as opportunities for decoration. The color is applied directly to the building, oil paint to the iron, stain to the wood. This is the legitimate architectural interior decoration." The great steel trusses, which arch the interior space of the building in one great span of 175 feet, are painted a rich red. The wooden roof, which rests on these trusses, is stained a dull, deep blue. The windows of the clear story [sic] are dappled in white. The wall is surfaced with green burlap and on the rough joints of the wall a wide frieze of green and gold is being painted. This frieze is made up of the United States shield surrounded by a wreath of laurel alternating with an oval similarly surrounded, made up of a composition representing the 13 stars, symbolical of the 13 original states. A Greek latticed window, which occurs along the frieze line is used in the decoration to break the length of the frieze. The two ends of the building have a special treatment. They are green from floor to roof. The entrance motif in the front is of a lighter shade of green. The tympanum above the entrance is gold with real flags of the standard government pattern, radiating in a stack from the center. At the center is a United States shield surrounded by a spread eagle. Miss Grace Temple learned her profession at the art museum in Boston. She had charge for some years of the course of design of the school of art in Cleveland, Ohio. She has decorated the interior of the National Museum and of the Cosmos Club at Washington. A large number of homes in Washington and elsewhere, including the home of Grover Cleveland at Princeton, N. J., have been decorated under her directions. + [M. microfilm printout with Bulletin originals shows column format] Politic name-Bryan oration? natl condit? misc-word-narrowest-compass CoqB 652a Apr 1, 1904 [first not shown on microfilm printout] [William Jennings Bryan on Democratic party.] ...the votes of the members of the party, in congress. Jefferson's first inaugural address contained the essence of the party creed as generally accepted during the first quarter of the 19th century. In fact, it is still the creed of the party, and no group of men desiring to maintain an influence in this party can even how admit any essential departure from it. It will be found below: "About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you. It is [printout illegible; =proper?] you should understand what [printout illegible; last part = essen?] -tial principles of our government, and consequently those which ought to shape its administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; the support of the state governments in all their rights, as the most competent administration for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies; the preservation f the general government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the right of election by the people -- a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided; absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority and vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism; a well-disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; economy in the public expense that labor may be lightly burdened.; the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith; encouragement of agriculture and of commerce as its handmaid; the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of public reason; freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety." The first and most fundamental difference between the democratic party (when it was known as the republican party, afterwards as the democratic-republican party, and today as the democratic party) and the party which has opposed it (first known as the federal party, then as the whig party and more recently as the republican party), was upon the construction of the constitution. The former party has insisted upon a strict construction, while the later [sic] has leaned toward a liberal construction of the federal constitution. The difference is a material one for the democratic party, believing in the right of the people to, and in the capability of the people for, self-government, has insisted upon giving them as large a part as possible in the control f their own affairs.

His opponent has made a good officer, but rumor has it that his supporters think that two successive terms are sufficient in that office and that Mr. Siglin will have plain and easy sailing.

Mormons do not drive their wives tandem. + ___o___ Last month Congress had an outing, sailing down the Potomac to Jamestown, Va., where, 500 years ago, the English made a desperate attempt to form a settlement on a sandy beach. There is to be a John Smith-Pocohontas exhibition there in 1907 and the people want $3,000,00 from the national treasury. They can ask for it with better grace when, like Philadelphia, Chicago, Buffalo and St. Louis, they put up $3,000,000 of their own. Otherwise, Uncle Sam's treasury should be kept locked. + ___o___ The verdict of the Vermont court that intoxicating liquor could be brought into the state under Federal law was concurred by the full bench. + ___o___ The charge by some members of Congress that the president glung the Bristow bomb must be attributed to Teddyphobia. + ___o___ In her dispute with Brazil France appealed to "the sacred principle of arbitration." Switzerland, the arbitrator accepted by both, decided in favor of Brazil. Thereupon France kicked over the arbitration, let loose her wrath, and assumed a warlike attitude toward Brazil. Have the Hague authorities lost their authority -- or have they never possessed any? + ___o____ Apostle Hicks who has eleven wives, agrees with the last conclusion of life insurance companies that "women are good risks." + ___o___ Congressman Thompson, of Alabama, is dead of pneumonia. Now he will be given a $10,000 dollar funeral at the expense of the public. Is there no better way of expressing public sympathy and respect? + ___o___ If it is true that a person can commit murder by sending poisoned candy through the mail to an enemy in another state, and be non-extraditable and not subject to any punishment, then the laws of every state in the Union ought to be amended forthwith. + ___o___ Having won the case against the Northern Securities Company, the administration is bound to apply the same medicine to the cases of the New England Railroad and the Baltimore & Ohio. If it contents itself with this one verdict, will it not virtually confess that it was for political effect? + ___o___ What is Japan about? She moves sluggishly. Six weeks after war was declared in 1870 the Germans had won half a dozen victories and made the Emperor Napoleon a prisoner. Today nobody can guess the probable duration of the Japan-Russian war or pick the winner. + ___o__ Five tons of gold coin were moved through New York City last month in a truck from the United States sub-treasury to the clearing house.

It is 125 feet square and stands just west of Mexico's building. The archictecture is characteristic f Siam. The building is in the shape of a Greek cross. It is crowned by a high pitched roof with a concave ridge pole like those on Chinese pavilions. This ridge pole is terminated by the pointed ornament which is seen on the temples of Siam. Each wing of the building has three gables which rise one above the other. The structure stands in the center of the reservation and a typical Siamese garden surrounds it. Two tall flagpoles stand at the entrance to the reservation. They are painted red and crowned by the Siamese "gong" ornament in gilded metal. The roof is of felt, marked at the laps by zigzag lines of big brass washers. The interior is in one apartment except a small room, 14 x 23 feet, used as the executive office. No posts obstruct the interior view. The roof is carried on Siamese trusses of peculiar construction, painted red and stenciled with gold ornaments. In the stall decorations, the Siamese elephant is used as a motif. The elephant is the heraldic animal of Siam, the Siamese flag being a white elephant on a red field. + = Natl-filler Interest lifestyle? CoqB 656 April 15, 1904 [Head; centered across one column; bold] FAMILIAR CUSTOMS ______ [subhead, 2 lines; bold] Things We Do That Had a Different Significance Originally. It is most surprising what a number of little things we do without knowing the reason. Why, for instance, do widows wear caps? Perhaps you may say because they make them look pretty and interesting. But the real reason is that when the Romans were in England they shaved their heads as a sign of mourning. Of course a woman couldn't let herself be seen with a bald head, so she made herself a pretty cap. And now, though the necessity of wearing it has passed away, the cap remains, says a London magazine. What is the meaning of the crosses or X's on a barrel of beer? They signify degrees of quality nowadays. But originally they were pt on by the ancient monks as a sort of trademark. They were crosses in those days and meant a sort of oath on the cross sworn by the manufacturer that his barrel contained good liquor. Why are bells tolled for the dead? This has become so familiar a practice that a funeral without it would appear un-Christian. Yet the reason is quite barbarous. Bells were tolled long ago when people were being buried in order to frighten away the evil spirits who lived in the air. Why do fair ladies break a bottle of wine on the ship they are christening? Merely another survival of barbaric custom. In the days of sacrifice to the gods it was cautionary to get some poor victim when a boat was being launched and to cut his throat over the prow so that his blood baptized it. Why are dignitaries deafened by a salute when they visit a foreign port? It seems a curious sort of welcome, this firing off of guns, but it appears the custom arose in a very reasonable way. Originally a town or a war ship fired off its guns on the approach of important and friendly strangers to show that it had such faith in the visitors' peaceful intentions that it didn't think it necessary to keep its guns loaded. + natl-filler animal-horse interest?

Smith of Hartford, Conn., owner of the stallion Thomas Jefferson, one of the best proportioned pieces of horseflesh f his time. Depreciation in real estate value caused the horseman's affairs to become unsettled, and he failed. While driving with a clergyman, the Rev. Joseph Waite, in the troublous times he expressed his sorrow at having to part with a number of promising horses. "How many head have you?" asked the clergyman. "Fifteen," replied Mr. Smith. Later the Rev. Mr. Waite met Mr. Smith and asked him if he had sold any of his circuit racing horses. "'Oh, yes; I got rid of most of them and have bought a colt or two since." "How many horses have you now?" asked the clergyman. "Only twenty-two," replied Mr. Smith. + natl-filler interest? CoqB 656 Apr 15, 1904 [ head. centered bold] Giant Umbrellas.

Some of the umbrellas are of prodigious dimensions, being no less than 25 feet in diameter, with ribs 12 feet 6 inches long. They are made of lancewood, and the covering is of gorgeously colored chintz in varied sections of crimson, yellow and blue. The opening is performed by means of pulleys and ropes attached to the "runner," this operation requiring the services of three or four men. The pole or handle is of birch, and is about fourteen or fifteen feet high. + Natl-filler misc?-humor saying CoqB 656 Apr 15, 1904 [head. Centered, bold] New Names for Pies.
