JLL Jl f JLL JJ S K7 ARE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE Yankee Ships Heard From Off Pacific Coast AN ASTONISHING FEAT Ships Are in Perfect Condition and Will Be Ready for Record Practice Im mediately, Comes the Message. Washington, D. C, March 9. The re ceipt of a wireless dispatch from the United Press representative with Ad ruiral Evans' fleet through 1,400 miles of air is regarded by officials of the navy department as one of the most re markable feats of wireless telegraphy yet, accomplished. No news of the fleet was expected for at least a day or two and the fact that direct communication had been established between the Geor gia and the wireless station at Fensa cola was a matter of astonishment. This dispatch was picked up at the wireless staion at Penascola and trans mitted by regular lines to the navy de partment here, where it was turned over to the Washington bureau of the United Press. The dispatch was as follows: United States battleship Georgia, by wireless, via Fenascola, Fla., March 8. At 8 p. m. the position of the battleship fleet was, latitude 11.; 37 north, longi tude K12.01 west. We shall arrive at Magdalena Bar, March 12, two days ahead of schedule time. We are line. Speed now 10 knot. Ships in perfect condition and will be ready for record practice immediately. Vaflejo, Cal., March 8. The first com munication which the Pacific coast has had with Admiral Evans' fleet was es tablished through the cruiser St. Louis early yesterday. Commander Usher of the St. Louis! Is at Magdalena bay for target practice. A message was taken by the St. Louis from the Connecticut, showing that the fleet was steaming at a, regular rate 1,300 miles Bouth of Magdaiena. The message was repeated from the St, Louis to stations on this coast, and was picked up at Mare Island at 8:30 o'clock this morning. All station along the coast are endeavoring to make the best record for communication with the fleet. Banquet to Americans. I.fma, March 0. 'Rear-Admiral Prai gada gave a banquet last night on the 1'eruvian cruiser Aimirante Grau to the officers of the American torpedo boat flotilla. The banquet took the form of a tarewell to the Americans, who will leave here to-day to continue their voy age to the north. MESSAGE AT PT. L0MA. Men Will Be Given a Warm Reception When They Arrive. San Deigo, Cal., March 9. Point Loma wireless station at 10:30 o'clock yester day received a dispatch for the navy department which had been sent from Admiral Evans on board his flagship, the Connecticut, which with the remain der of the battleships comprising the Atlantic squadron leit lallao, Tern, for Magdalena bay on February 29. Noth ing could be learned as to the contents of the message. The men of the fleet are likely to find an unexpected welcome waiting them at Magdalena bay. It is said Mexican traders have established tent bazaars of all descriptions. Amusement man agers have also seized the opportunity that the shore line offers-. When the ships left Hampton Roads, Magdalena bay was looked forward to as an unin terrupted waste of sand with an occa- sternal Indian hut far inland a the only sign of human habitation. The over night shops, theatres, and dancing- pavi lions therefore will come as a uistiuct surprise. There is strong likelihood, however, of keen diappoiniment for some of the promoters of the tent city for the plans of the cruise do not call for any ma terial amount of shore leave for the sail ors at Magdalena bay. The play days f the men on foreign shores ended with the hoisting of anchors at Cal la o. Target practice is the most important work the fleet now has before it, and target practice ;means real work for every man aboard. When target work and battle drills are over the task of cleaning ship and sprucing up for pro reeding to American ports awaits the sailors. Upon their arrival at San Deigo the officers and the men of the fleet will set the first notes of a welcome that will ring throughout the entire West. San Deigo, Los Angeles and San Fran cisco, which will be visited in the order named, as vieing with one another in their plans for entertaining the fleet. They seem to realize that Port of Spain, Rio, Punta Arenas and Callao have set a mark for hospitality which it will be difficult to surpass, but the return to native shores will be marked by the most elaborate receptions and demon strations that citizens of the eoa.-d can devise.

Thorn WHO WASN'T TALL ENOUGH Latter Resigned Saturday Afternoon There Is Talk That Committee on Salaries May Cut Various Offi- cials' Salaries. In order to unravel the tangle due to his appointment as policeman when he did not meet the ordinance five feet, eiht inches, requirement by e, single inch, Peter Thorn, who was appointed to the place last Tuesday, resigned Satur-' day afternoon, and the resignation was accepted by Mayor Robins. The mayor then appointed Frank ll.imel to fill the emergency demand, and the latter went back onto his old beat, from which he was removed when Thorn was appointed to his place. The aldermen, by a vote of three to three, had failed to confirm I la me!. Siiice the removal of Hamcl from the force Tuesday, there has been consider able criticism of the vote among citi zens who believed that Hamcl has made a good oflicer and that he deserved a reappointment. It is not known wheth er Mayor Robins will again send his name before the aldermen for confirma tion, but it is thought that if he does, tiie appointment will be confirmed. Patrolman Thom'a letter of designa tion is as follows: "To the honorable mayor and city council Gentlemen: Learning that cer tain clauses in the revised city ordi nances might provoke a discussion of my eligibility to serve as city patrol man and not wishing to create any dis sension or acrimony in the public opinion of our city, I herewith tender my resig nation as patrolman, the same to taka effect immediately. "I wih to extend to you my expres sion of good will and hearty thanks far your cordial support in my appointment, but my sense of duty as a citizen com pels me to this course. "Very respectfully, "Peter D." Thorn." There has been quite a change in the make-up of the special police force -this year, a number of the former officers not having lieen appointed thus far. A ruth regular lias not been appointed either, and perhaps will not le. G. C. Richardson was the' firth omeer during the last year, the others remaining the same. The chief officer of the fire depart ment are regretting the refusal of tha aldermen to confirm the appointment of W, E. Beck as lirst assistant engineer, W511 Stow and E. M. Tobin were pro mot eil when the aldermen failed to ecu firm Reek, but they have not yet quali fied for their new positions. If they do not qualify, it is said that the old offi cers will hold over, which would con tinue Heck as first assistant engineer, and Stow and Tobin in their old places, fleck has been with the department thir teen years. Overseer of the Poor Shurtleff has also failed to qualify thus far. The effort to reduce the expenditures of the municipality may result in tha cutting down of some of the salaries, there having been quite a lot of talk to that effect. The salaries committee, Aldermen Thurston. William and Alex ander. Will retiort their recommenda tions soon, perhaps at the regular meet ing to-morrow evening. FIRE IN SMOKE HOUSE Called Chemical Engine Out Yesterday Forenoon. The chemical engine was called by tel ephone alarm to Charles street yester day foreuoon to extinguish a tire in Frank Cragg's fish smoking house. A double hitch was put on the apparatus, and the four horses went up the Wash ington street hill at a trot.

TITE ISAUHfJ DAILY. TIMES, MAltCII 0, 100S. X f I The Mystery of a Gem. i lOriulnal. A. small market wagon drawn by one bony horse pulled up In front of a pawnbroker' shop la Paris. A young countryman and a girl Rat on a cross board at the fore end, the man n trapping fellow, the girl comely and rosy as a peony. The girl descended from the Beat and went Into the pawn broker's. He was a white headed old man and, unlike most of his trade, be nevolent looking. "I would like, monsieur. If you would be so kind aa to lend me a hundred francs on this." She produced a pearl the size of n nutmeg. It was of a very unusual shade. The pawnbroker looked at it for a long while, then said: "How did you come by It?" "Alphonse Alphonse is f marry me has had it ever since his mother died. We wish to be married, and we have no means." "IIow long ago did Alpbonse's moth er die?" "When Alphonse was a baby, more than tweuty years ago." "And where did Alphonse's mother get It?" "Alphonsc's mother was when young lady's maid to a countess. Just before the countess' d,eatu she gave it to her maid. The cotintess died of smallpox, and all but her maid had deserted her." "Did the countess say anything about the value of the gift?" "How could she since she was dying and could scarcely speak? Don't you think it is worth so much as a hundred francs? Can't you lend anything on It?" she asked anxiously. "Does Alphonse wish to sell It?" "n has" kept It for his mother's take. He never knew a mother's love, but he thinks a great deal about what his mother was like. He would rather pawn it." There was a look of truthfulness and innocence in the girl's face that won the old man's confidence. "So you and Alphonse are lovers and wish to borrow 100 francs on this for the purpose of being married?" "Yes, monsieur, if. you think it is worth so much." The pawnbroker handed her four na poleons, took her address and sent; h?r off Jubilant He saw her go out and communicate her happiness to her lover by showing him the four shining gold pieces. Then they drove away, both talking at once and gesticulating. Evidently they had never before had such a windfall. The pawnbroker possessed a small library of books giving the history of valuable articles. As soon as the girl bad gone he took down a volume on celebrated gems that tand passed! through strange hands. Turning over the leaves, he at last came to an ac count of the disappearance about a entury and a half ngoof two large diamonds from the English crown. A pearl of extraordinary size and luster had disappeared at the same time. No trace had ever been discovered of the missing gems, and after so iong a period no expectation was entertained of their recovery. Here was n little gem the size of the tip of a lady's ringer that n pensant had kept from his babyhood nnd was doubtful if he could borrow $20 on It. Had it been displayed In a jeweler's case, of the thousands who looked at it not one would probably have seen any difference betweeu it nnd the lar-e and brilliant Jewels resting beside It But for halt a centurv this old pnwn-.wno wa i.unmta inompson. was- norn broker had done nothing but Inspect I'" I-onJ'jnderry, y,S ay U, 1833.

Marriage Not Heaven Nor Hell A Lesson In Faith and Hop. Suppose two people liegln their mar ried life on the plane of sanity nnd reasonableness," says Grace D. Good win In the course of a very interesting article. "They say marriage Is not heaven nor hell; it is our chance to tutor our spirits in the great lessons ef tho soul, patience, charity, faith, hope. These things are to be learned by accepting life as it is and adjusting ourselves to It. Imperfections must be overlooked, blunders must be for givenaye, and sius. The mnn must be man enough to provide, to guard, to shield, to aid. Providing Is not all. A full pocketbook is n poor substitute for a full heart. He must have a great store of courage and cheerful ness. These two virtues ought to liios fcom In the home from the man's plant ing. The woman must be woman enough to learn In its small details her business as manager and admin istrator of the home. It is not only behind the age, but, ns Dr. Bushnell used to fay, 'behind the ages,' to say what Is now to be said. She must know how to cook and sew and spend money and care for childreu. That sentence does not read 'must spend money money. -she must know how to spend And she must have endless patience with her Imperfect husband, ner luiperreet cniiaren, ner imperrect qualification for a happy married life; the ratience that takes even ill health and weakness with a smile, that does not play the martyr or call attention to the flames on which the family in its ignorance usually pours oil iustead of water. "Most necessary point of all, these two who are to build a home must have confidence in each other, must Bay 'we' al learn that, the two being one, everything must be shared. The sharing of joy and grief, the mingling of smiles aud tears, the bits of humor that wake double laughter and make those trivial 'home jokes' which are signs by which you shall declare a happy family life these are all so many ways of strengthening the wails. Everything roust be shared. Those four words oujrht to take the place of the old 'Cod Bless Our Home' motto.

The new Wednesday afternoon of the death of Senator Bcdfield Proctor at Washington wa received in Vermont as a distinct -hock, due primarily to the love ami 'confidence rcjiosed in the ven ctable senator bv the resident of thi -commonwealth. Hi rucgrd, hone-t per sonality has, made it-lf felt on everyone with whom he ha come in contact and few indeed were tho-e in the I .reen Mountain state who did not feel that they ptij-..e,i his friendship. His u a wholesome individuality, utraiyht for ward, genial a;ii attractive aril impress ing on one the ability, unvarying gouj judgment ami rare foresight which were his. The attribot' of (sympathy he wi to a marked degree, with a fine J wt of Intmor ami an evident firm l!ief in hi fellow men. j in Washington l upivd an unusij-jj any coiiimariuing ponon, rieeatii-e ot lil.s Jntmcii, hi intense hiyalty atnl hi mi- peri or penetration.

Prior' to the Npunith war he wa eioit to Cuba on a hpeci.ti miMon ot most exacting character and on hi return rendered hi report in a vivid, but oki! and pas shinies manner, presenting condition o clearly, judicially and wholly without prejudice, that the duty of tiie nation wa brought home to ail. Few men who have wwpied a hith and important i place in national coun cil have escape.) with a little criticism a Senator pMa-tor for the reason that he a-suincd attit ude on public quest ion which precluded criticism. His Mie. could be counted on one' liojen. lor hi worth wa recognized and a ppre eiated. lie stood for that which, in hi judgment, wa right, and, having adopt id hi course, could not. be swerved from it. And no one Mood higher, in the e teem and affection of hi colleague than did Senator Proctor. He wa a worthy representative of Vermont, ufalwart and sturdy, untiring in advancing the interests of his state and the nation, and occupying a phue in the heart of hi constituent which will cause his death to rome a a personal os to thousand. Hi demise will b sincerely mourned and hi memory will long remain in the mind of tiif citizen of the sdate which honored him and which he honored. Moutpelier Argu. Slush and More Slush.

For Instance, the "Groan That Gurgle From tha Slain." Macaulay once reviewed a poem In which a climax of absurdity was reach ed w ith this line; And hear'at each groan that gurglea from the ilain. The poetic license which lets a groan gurgle from a slain man Is capable of letting him walk Into town from tliM field of battle, collect the amount or bis life Insurance policy and hand 1; to bis widow. It brings to mind tb heroic warrior of whom it Is said that "thrice he slew the Blaln" and the Irlsti member of parliament who convulsed the house of commons by exclaiming that he would die as a soldier first a"d a man afterward. But, strange to say, Macaulay himself bas made a similar blunder. In his "Battle of Lake Itaglllus" the follow ing lines occur: The ahoutlmqr of the slayer And screeching of the slain. Did these writers make these slips In the heat of battle or were they testing the lutellectual acuteness of their readers? There Is a story of a German schoolmaster who used to call out his class In history and begin to tell them of the Thirty Years' war. "Yes, children," he would say, "this Is a sub ject In which I am especially Interest ed, as my grandfather often told me about It. He was a well to do Innkeep er, and one day as be was standing In bis doorway a mounted soldier came galloping up at a furious rate. 'What's the matter?' asked uiy grandfather. 'Matter enough,' answered the dragoon. 'Don't you know that the Thirty Years' war bns begun today?" At this point the ancient pedagogue would pause and surrey bis class. Then a smile Would orcrspread bis rubicund countenance If a hund was raised and a boyish treble asked how the dragoon knew the war would last thirty years. Perhaps our poets, too, would play the schoolmas ter and smile if we should ask them how It Is possible for the slain to groan or screech. George Selbel in Pittsburg Gazette-Times. THE STUPID SWAN. Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird It Nincompoop. To the mind of the average farmer nothing which walks on two legs is quite so stupid as a hen. He is mis taken, thoush, for there still remains that beautiful, graceful nincompoop, the common swan. The swan Is so stupid that It will stand in the shallow j part of a pond and allow the water to freeze round its legs till the ice is so thick that it cannot lift its feet and it is stuck fast Not Infrequently owners of these handsome but witless birds are compelled to chop away sufficient ice to make It possible for them to withdraw their imprisoned feet. The stupidity of the swan In this respect Is empbasizod by the Intelli gence exhibited by ornamental ducks when the weather turns cold. As night comes on and the water begins to freeze the ducks begin swimming Ja a wide, well defined circle. Round and round they go during the entire I night, keeping all the water within that circle fret?'from Ire?, so thnt when the day dawns they can float about and doze In the sun. Ducks are al ways most active during the uight and choose the day for sleeping. But to return to the swan. If you find one of these birds some distance from the water -and startle It, the swan will rush a few feet toward the pond and then drop down on the ground and try ti go through the motions of swim mine, apparently unable In, Its fright to realise that it has not yet reached the water. Neither Is the common swan a good fighter. The black swan, although one-half Its size, is invariably the vic tor in the combats which are some times engaged In and generally kills its antagonist. The black swan usually provokes the fight, too. for it is rather a quarrelsome bird. Washington Star. Ths Awkward Mr. A curiously awkward word, if It be a Word, Is "Mrs." It is not spelled as It Is pronounced no one but a Welshman or a Tole would be equal to pronounc ing it as it Is spelled and Its pronunci ation is a clumsy contraction of the good old English designation "mis tress." In days of old, when leisure had not become, as it Is now, almost a forgot ten luxury and people were less anx ious to clip their speech, the full pro nunciation was often used, and "mis tress" was not altogether elbowed out f existence by the vulgar "missis." But nowadays "mistress" has become as rnuch a term of opprobrium as hon- or, and consequently the contracted pronunciation of "Mrs." has prevailed and holds the field. Another point worth noting in the history of the designation Is that about 150 years ago and earlier "Mrs." was applied J"tte impartially to nnmarnea "e" to indicate that a child Is meant. 1 Tl,,f ihta mnv Vi fixmrilml fla an TCrw i tional use of the title.

We have been told of late that we should presently be afflicted with a re vival of the walnut furniture of fifty years ago. There seem really to be no Indications that this calamity is to be fall us; hence one is inclined to con clude that the rumor is merely the fanciful fruit of a recent reminiscent fondness evinced by certain of our lit erary men for that period in American life which coincided with the vogue of black, walnut. Mr. Howells has for some time made no bones of an appar ent conviction that those were the halcyon days of America the truly representative, honestly American days. In the pages of Scrlbner's Mag azine Henry Fuller has Imagined a rich and cultivated western woman who reverts to type after years of travel and sophistication and discards her artistic refinements, one and all. In favor of tjic monstrous carpets and the "boiled dinners" of the earlier lire or the country. One fancies that Mr. Fuller has made a slight mistake In giving this lady's age as forty. The reversion, if rever sion there be, Is apt to occur somewhat later. But In hinting that her case Is not singular, that by seeking one might find a good many like her. It ia quite probable that he Is not so far from the mark. The psychology of such in stances, however, is likely not to bo Just what the subjects may think. 4It j may seem to them that whatthey wish is to go back to a simpler life. Was American life in the walnut period really simpler? That depends on our understanding of the term. Many fool ish things have been said about the simple life. There Is only one simple life, and that is the unified life, the life set toward and in one purpose and letting the nonessentials go. That sort of life may be possible when one washes one's own dishes, but no oue will deny that It was equally possible to Marcus Aurellus. In point of fact, It Is possibly more apt to be realized In Its perfection In a high and tense state of civilization than not. There are theo ries and theorists to the. contrary, but Maple Sugar and Syrup. Don't wait two months for new Sugar, when you can buy just as good now for less money.

Full of Reminiscence, At the different array stations in ths west It Is the practice for the officers on leaving their post for some distant station to sell off everything they do not care to keep. In connection with this custom in "Reminiscences of a Sol dier's Wife" Mrs. Ellen Btddle tells na amusing story. There was a very estimable woman living at the garrison, a veritable Mrs. Malaprop. She told us of some Jew elry she had lost, andamous ths things was a topaz chain' with a beau tiful "pendulum." The lady held an auction before she left, after her husband's death, and when some silver plated knives were put up for sale she rose and in a sob bing voice said: "Oth, dear, no! I can not sell them! Tbey have been in dear John'3 mouth too often!" Pointed Paragraphs. People too easily get In the habit of having troubles. A philosopher is a man who doesn't want the things he can't have. A good man Is always ruted belcw his true value; a bad man is always rated, above his true value.

Recently the American Federatlonlst took occasion to discuss and commend the resolution adopted by the Norfolk convention of the American Federation of Labor which urges upon congress the enactment of a law providing that tho courts created by congress that Is, all courts Inferior and Intermediate hall be denied the power to declare unconstitutional any law passed by congress and that the aole authority to puss upou the constitutionality of enacted laws shall be vested In the su premo court of the United States and that unless it shall be the unanimous decision aud opinion of that court tua law shall stand unless repealed by a ubsetjuent congress. It will be remembered that the last session of the Fifty-ninth .congress passed a law commonly known ns the employers' liability law. It is true this law applied exclusively to em ployees of the railroads engaged Jn in terstate commerce, but it was the be glnuiug and entering wedge In the es tablishment of a right principle. Aa employee was killed upon one of the railrouds, and suit was entered by bis heirs for recovery of damages. A fed eral circuit, court declared .the law un constitutional. From this decision an appeal was taken to the supreme court of the United States. That court, after hearing the argument and considering the briefs, declared the employers' lia bility law unconstitutional.' 'Though the supreme court sustained this contention of the lower court, It is not amiss to call attention to the fact that the supreme court, conslstlug of nine Justices, the majority that is, five of them agreed upon the decision of the unconstitutionality of the law, and four voted and expressed their views of Its constitutionality, that it was not repugnant to the constitution of the United States. It Is additionally interesting to know that of the five Justices who declared the law unconstitutional two of them agreed upon one line of reasoning and three on another upon which their con clusion was reached. The four Jus tices who dissented from the majority opluloa and decision rendered three dif ferent aud dissenting opinions. When the highest court of our coun try, the supreme court of the United States, composed of some of the very best Jurists in all the country, so vital ly differ both in the majority and mi nority opinions and lu the decision in It not time that the people and the congress of the United States should take this serious and Important matter under consideration and remedy a most deplorable condition? Is a law passed by congress, ap proved by the president of the United States in compliance w-lth an enlight ened public sentiment and in response" to the needs of the people, to be nolens volens declared unconstitutional by a court so hopelessly divided as in the case In point and In many other cases which have come conspicuously to the notice of our people? Of course labor Is not and will not become disheartened by the decision declaring the employers' liability law unconstitutional. Already efforts have been made to meet and overcome the court's adverse decision by introduc ing a new bill in congress. This course will be followed by labor In all in stances in which the Tital Interests of the working people of our country are concerned. If perchance any other law may be declared unconstitutiona" affecting the rights aud Interests of the common people we shall still press home upon our fellow citizens and con gress the noed of the times and hope to find its expression into enacted law. The constitution of the United States was framed before the power of steam and electricity was dreamed of, before a steam vessel or railroad or telegraph was known, long before the day of the machinery operated by steam or clec tricity was in vogue, long before con ceutration of Industry aud the intro duetion of the factory system of labor All these new conditions cannot be stopped and must hot be hampered In their fullest development and fruition. There are many old conceptions of the law and of the common law. which must conform to the era, to the Zeit geist The tollers have the right to insist that their lives, their conditions and their, interests be given further and better consideration and protection by expressed statute inw and that the broadest and most liberal Interpreta tion be placed upon such laws; that the courts created by congress shall be deprived of their power to declare un constitutional the laws enacted by their creator, the congress of the United States, and that the United States su preme court itself should not declare unconstitutional a law enacted by two co-ordinate branches of the govern ment of the United Stales, the congress and the president, unless there be una nimity of opinion. Especially are they Justified in holding that a law shall not be nnnulled and shall not be held to be repugnant to the constitution of our country when the opinions of that highest tribunal are so diverse and hopelessly divided. This matter de serves the serious discussion and con sideration of all our people, whether they be wage earners or others American Federationlst. Charity Helped by Unions. Trofessor Graham Taylor in an ad dress before the Charity Organization society of New York at Its twenty fifth anniversary asserted that charity would not go very far without the aid extended by the labor unions of the country. He also took occasion to commend the attitude of the Chicago unions in sustaining the banks of that city io their systetu of pay checks while the financial stringency was on. i This step, in his opisioo. d'.d taucb t tide over a tad situation. THE UARRE DAILY TIMES, MARCH 0, 1008. A BILL IN CONGRESS. The Method by Which a Measure la Transformed Into Law. On a day set for the consideration of the bill the house goes into committee of the whole. A chairman appointed by the speaker presides. The bill is read by sections and clauses after gen eral debate has closed, and any mem ber may offer amendments. All voting In committee is by rising. The yeas aud nays are not taken. When the bill has been gone through and all amendments have been voted upon, the committee rises and the chairman reports the bill back to the house, with the amendments. The house then votes upon them either sin gly or In gross and by yeas and nays if they are ordered to be taken. The bill Is then ordered to be en grossedthat Is, written out lu a fair hand aud Just as It Is after being amended and to be read a third time. As it Is usually already engrossed It Is at once rend the third time by title, as before and passed. j The clerk takes the bill to the senate. by which body It Is referred to the finance committee. In due time the committee, If It sees fit, and not other wise, reports the bill back to the sen ate, with propositions to amend. In the senate the bill Is considered "as In committee of the whole." the amend ments of the finance committee and other volunteer amendments are ac cepted or rejected, they are again voted upon when the bill Is reported to the senate from the committee of the whole, and the bill is passed. As the two houses are not agreed upon the bill, a committee of confer ence, usually consisting of three mem bers of each branch of congress. Is ap pointed. The committee, when It has come to an agreement, reports to each house, and the acceptance of the re- i port Is the final stage of the hill In its passage. The measure Is now "enrolled" that Is, It Is printed In large, open type upon a parchment and Is taken first to the bouse, where It Is signed by the speaker; then to the senate, where the vice president signs It, and finally to the president, and makes the bill a law. y Congress Is notified that the bill has been approved, and the original copy of the act Is deposited In the depart ment of state.

"'What said a bachelor to a Bene dict, 'only married a year and already eo blue?" "Ah, but groaned the lienedict, T never imagined that a wife would prove so expensive.' "The bachelor patted the blue mar ried man on the back in a consolatory way. "'Yes,' be said, 'a wife is an expen sive article, that is true.

What subsists today by violence continues tomorrow by acquiescence and is perpetuated by tradition till at last the hoary abuse shakes the gray hairs of antiquity at us and gives Itself out as the wisdom of ages. Thus the clearest dictates of reason are made to yield to a long succession of follies. And this is the foundation of the aristocratic system at the present day. Its stronghold, with all those not im mediately Interested in it, Is the rev erence of antiquity. Edward Everett Satan Terrified.
