Senator Hale, from the committee m ap-
porpriatons, reported, with amendments, the.
house Oil making temporary provision for

Senator Hale explained the senate committee
had amended that bill by substituting for the
provisions, the regular annual appropriation
bill for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885,
precisely as the house passed It last session,
but modified so as TO cover only the remain-
ing half Of the fiscal year. The amendments

went, stood precisely on the basis which the
house passed the original appropriation for

senate maintained its attitude considering
this years appropriations, and not those Of a
former year. He said he would call the bill
up tomorrow.
The senate went into executive session and

a strangely Asso1 o1lrrte,l Pair.


When John o'BHen, the we'll.
known circus man, was in the high
tide of prosperity, among the at
fractions in the retlnue Of side.
shows following his tent there was
q freak known as Walter Stewart.
This human monstrosity was with.
out legs or hands, but he had short
stubby arms, and it was considered
an interesting sight to see him
shave himself BY the use Of these
halfformed limbs. Although re
pulsiye in other respects, it was
said that Stewart possessed average
intelligence. One season o'Brien
was accompanied on his tour by a
charming and beautiful young
daughter. Kitty was her name,
and she was the idol Of her amuse.
ment loving parent. He was worth
at least s250,0O0at that time and
he layished every attention upon
his beloved child. Kitty had her
own will in almost everything.
She got acquainted with the side
show montrosity, Walter Stewart,
and day after day went surrept.
titiously to converse with him. At
length, before the father had the
slightest inkling Of the course af.
fairs had taken, his daughter had
become strangely infatuated with
and secretly married the deformed
creature. o'Brien, in his anger,
cast her completely of, and never
spoke to either Of the two after
ward. ButKitty clung stoutly to
her choice, ministering to his
wants, accompanying him in shows
and museums, and to all appear.
ances loving him. They finally
acquired competence, settled
down, and raised an interesting
family Of well-formed boys and
girls.

predicted that an unusually large crowd
will be present.
The members Of the Stuart Horse Guards
have been about evenly divided on the
question OF turning out to-day. The cause
of hesitation has been that their brides
and saddles, shipped nearly month ago
from an arsenal on the borders OF Iowa,
have failed to arrive, and consequently, not
being uniformly equipped, they cannot
ride alike. They have voted. however,
to participate in the memorial exercises,
