ALBANY, April 30.-The Assembly at its
evening session did one thing Of considerable imper-
tance 1t ordered TO third reading Mr.. Wheelers bill
authorizing savings banks to invest their funds in DIG
srict of Columbia bonds. Attorney-General Seho0n-
maker recently protested vigorously against any such
permission being given. He holds that the bonds are
not guaranteed by the United States, and that they
may at any time become so much worthless paper III

Gus FROM BEING KNOWN.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRJBUNE.l
W.survcTov. April 3O.-The Democrats of the
Senate held a caucus this morning. The air is
filed with the most extraordinary rumors in rela-
ton thereto, which are for the most part untTust-
worthy.
The caucus resulted in the reference of the
whole issue now pending between the Democrats
in Congress and the President TO the old Caucus
Committee Of which Senator Thurman Is chair
man, with instructions simply 20 confer with a
similar committee of the House, and decide upon a
line Of SETON to he followed by the party.
The most extraordinary measures were taken to
preserve secrecy tn regard TO the debate which
preceded this action, and il the main the measures
seem to have been successful. So important was
secrecy considered that one Senator said he would
rather lose 81 900 than have the proceedings pub
Ished while another declared that should he learn
the name of any Senator who dvulged the proceed
iprs Of the caucus he would never sit in caucus with
him again.
The debate abounded in recriminatiOn and
crashing of teeth. At least four Senators declared
their readiness to abandon the present Democratic
position as untenable. pass the appropriation bills
and go home. Senator WitheTs, of Virginia, who
was in charge of the Army bill, is reported to have
declared that such a course would be suicidal, and
that the only salvation OF the party would now lie
in its ability to hold together and bluff its Oppon-
ents down.
Wild rumors regarding an incendiary and revOlu-
fionaIy resolution introduced by Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, are in circulation; and it is SAID
that this gave rise to the stringent measures to pre-
serve the secrecy Of the proceedings.
The decentralization of the Democracy is such that
any suggestion from a downright surrender to
open-armed rebellion would, tonight, find some
supporters among them.

AGITATION OVER THE VETO.
GREAT STIR IN WASHINGTON.

sUREE CAUCUsEs AND A GREAT DIAL OF EXCITED
TALKING BEHIND CLOSED DooRs-WHo WROTE
THE VETO.
Three caucuses were held in Washington
Yesterday in regard to the veto of the Army
bill The Democrats of the Senate and those
of the House held meetings, and so did the
Greenbackers. The Democrats of the house
resolved to vote on the passage OF the Army
bill over the veto to-day, and then referred
the future policy Of the party to the JOINT
caucus committee. The Democrats OF the
Senate also referred the subject of political
legislation to the joint committee. In both the
Democratic caucuses there was plain talking
and strong censure of the leaders who have
brought the party into an unpleasant dilemma.
The greatest secrecy is maintained as to the
details of the proceedings. 1t is stated au-
tboritatively that the President wrote the
veto message himself. The members of the
Cabinet did not see it until it was sent to
Congress.

The Novoja Vremja tells the following
touching story about most extraordinary
letter which recently was delivered into
the st. Petersburg mail. An imperial
officer, at the lower end Of the ladder, died
suddenly and left his wife and three chill
dren entirely unprovided for. After the
lapse of couple Of months all the furni
ture and clothes of the family had gone
to the pawnbroker's shop, and nothing
was left but cold starvation and an unpaid
rent bill. In this misery the eldest child,
boy of six years, sat down and wrote in
secrecy the following letter:
My SWEET LoRn-Mother and my two
little sisters have nothing to cat, and are
very hungry. Won't you please send me
three kopeks, that may buy bread for
them, and shall pay back the money
when ! grow bigger Yours truly.
With this letter, which was addressed to
"God in the High Heavens" the bov ran

A Cunning Wife.

The Chicago Tribune says that young
wife of that city who is anxious to keep
her husband home evenings, hatters him
about the exquisitely dainty proportions
of his feet, and induces him to wear boots
about two sizes too small for him. He is
on his feet all day long in town, and when
he comes home at night she has a nice
soft chair and pair OF loose, cool slippers
for him, and by the time he, with great
drops of agony pearling down his brow,
has got off his boots, he comes to the con
clusion that there is no place like home
after ALL and has no desire to go down
town to lodge, or to sit UP with sick

..sstem, died in England yesterday morn
ing, aged eighty-four years He was the
non of a schoolmaster at Birmingham, in
which place he was born in 1873. In
1885 he was appointed Secretary to the
Engineers for the colonization of South
Australia, and two years afterwards he
published pamphlet developing his
postal system In the following year a
Committee of the House of Commons
recommended its adoption, but it was not
until 1910 that his system was carried
into effect, Hill being appointed by the
Government to superintend it.
In 1s4e he was rewarded by public
testimonial to the value of about $4,000.
In 1S43 he was made manager of the
london & Brighton Railroad Company
In 1916 he was appointed Secretary to
the Postmaster General, and in 1854 was
promoted to the rank of Chief Secretary

They cling to the good old doctrine that
"what was good enough for their fathers
is good enough for them which perhaps
is true, and the consequences would not
be of so much importance did not they
visit most heavily those who suffer inno-
cently-for most of the women who call
these places home, are, as have already
said, powerless to help themselves. Their
husbands have become possessed with the
mania for buying land, while they count
their acres by hundreds, permit their
families to live in novels, not considering
that small farm well tended is more pro-
ductive than large one which must be
neglected. They lose their ambition and
their energy-the burdens of rearing
children, the rough, hard work of farm
life that falls SO heavily upon their over
taxed shoulders; successive seasons Of
harvesting, threshing and slaughtering,
enlivened by few pleasures and little vari-
ETY., rob them of their comeiness, their
health, and the desire for better surround
ings. Their hands are hopelessly tied,
and they can only submit to their hard
lot in sullen gloom, in fretful complaining
or good humored Indifference
1t should occasion no surprise that the
sons of farmers-boys who grow up in
such homes-fnd the gaudy interior OF
the village saloon paradise in compari
son, or that their daughters are ready to
throw themselves away on the first
worthless suitor who presents himself in
the vain hope of bettering their condition.
Perhaps the m evil is in the
fact that these children will grow up with
blunted sensibilities, coarse in thought
vulgar in manner and speech. They will
hate, with an envious hatred, those whom
they feel are their superiors, despise ali
that tends to elevate and refine, and their
children will inherit their traits and dis.
positions after them.
1t really seems almost folly to hope
much tor the future Of Indiana until the
health and comfort and happiness Of their
families become as important to Indiana
farmers as the prosperity Of their focks
and herds. And the era of the better
days that must dawn will be ushered in
by radical change and improvement in
country homes.

Subsequently he tried Sun Worship and
Buddhism, and finally died without be-
lieving in anything. He stated before
his death that he had been actuated in
so frequently changing his ereeds, by an
earnest desire to become acquainted with
every sort of belief influencing humanity.
Mr.. Roseuheim indulged himself in so
many different samples of religion that
he could hardly, in an ordinary lifetime,
have given any of them fair trial, The
saving grace of no one of them could
have had time to work out any substan-
tial good in his case, which may explain
his prejudice against all forms of belief.

One difficulty presented itself in making

quarter quite unexpected by Catherine;
from poor Mira. Melwyn.
"Ah, Catherine" said she, coming into
her room and looking most nervous and
distressed, take care what you and Edgar

could we do without Lettce? Dear Cath
crime! only think of it. And that would
not be the worst. They could not marry,
for they would have nothing to live upon
if they left US so they would both be miser-
able. For they could neither go nor stay.
1t would be impossible for them to 60 on

to each other and could never be married.

"Ah! dear. sweet mother, don't take up
wretchedness at interest, that's my own
mother. They're not going to fall in love.
Mr.. st. Ledger looks not the least inclined
that way"
'Ah, that's easily said, but suppose they
did?"
