An Aged Pauper's story.

1t was shortly before Christmas that
an aged woman stepped into the office
OF Mr.. James S. Chambers, President of
the Board of Guar ians of the Poor, and
requested that che be sent to the Aims
house as soon as she could form the ros-
olution to become pauper. Her story
was a wondrous one She was now SIS
years old,and poverty stricken. Years
ago she was beautiful, was the petted
one OF many men of renown, and her
wealth was reCkoned at a quarter of
million. Her name was Mrs. Emma
Thompson, but she was better known as
Emma Jacobs. She came to this citv
when only lG years old, from Ian caster,
running away from home to marry a
young member of the Legislature. In
this she was disappointed, for the heart.
less man deserted her in q house of low
character, whittier they had gone on
reaching the city, However, she man
aged to thrive in her questionable mode
OF living. and through legacy of a
quarter million dollars left to her by one
OF her admirers, she made exceeding
display, and acquired a national notorie-
~. Twenty-Five years ago she married
lev. Thomas Thompson, q well known
Baptist minister. The acquaintance
was q chance one but the divine was so
struck with ner charms that he Undue
ed her to change her life and become a |
wife. They lived happily
together for sixteen years. A life of |
openhandedneSs had drained the purse.
and after the death of her husband Mrs.
Thompson began to feel the pinching
OF poverty. Ia a short time She was
without money, and at last she sought
the Alnshuuse.

ASHINGTON, March lj.--TEe Chi.
nese bill has been so through ydis ,ussed
IN tho Senate That nobody thought any
thing new or Interesting would be- said
in the discussion of IL in the House.
Those who heard the remarkable speech
by Mr.. Rice, Of Massachusetts,, in OPP
position 10 the bill this afternoon, how.
ever, have changed their minds.
His line of argument was in navy
respects similar 10 that pursued by Mr..
foar in the senate, but gentlemen who
listened TO both speeches declare that Of
thA two Mr.. Rices was the more cogent
and convincing.
One very prominent Republican mem
her OF the House said this evening hat
he had made uo his mind to vote ter the
bill before ne heard Mr.. kce's argu.
ments against II, bnt he now thought
he would vote against it.
A number of Senators paid Mr.. Rice
the compliment Of going ovor to the
House aud listening iDteutly TO his re-.
marks, which also engaged the careful
a tentIon of members of that usually
body.
The indications are that the bill will
pass the House, although il may be
