The whisky bill was disposed Of yester-
day. Il VIII hardly trouble Congress
again this session. 1t hadn't as many
friends As was generally supposed. In
view Of all the fuss that has been made
over it, the support il received when the
vote was taken was surprisingly small.
The story that the tariff refOrmers were
supporting it. and that it had some mys-
FERROUS connection with the Morrison bill,
was shown 10 be wholly false. We stated
some days ago that there was no doubt
that the bill was being urged on its own
merits. The vote shows this was true.
Some rather funny arguments were pre-
scented for and against the bill. The aver
age Congressman may be depended upon
for funny arguments where there is a
chance for an exhibition Of demagogism.
One Of the arguments in aid Of the bill
was that it helped the temperance cause.
because it would prevent whisky from be-
coming cheap by being forced upon an
OverstOcked market. Others, however,
asserted that it would hurt the cause Of
temperance. because the longer the
whisky was kept in bond the better it
would become, and would therefore be
more eagerly sought after. The truth
probably Is that the passage Of the bill
would have had no influence either one
way or the other on the temperance
cause. The bill Is out OF the way now
however, and it is 10 be hoped for ever.
If the claims made by the whisky men
respecting financial dangers which threat
en- the whisky business and those con-
nected with it were well founded the bill
had some little merit. but not enough to
have justified Congress in making SO
marked a precedent in favor Of class
1 legislation. 1t remains to be seen whether
there will be such financial disasters as
were predicted if the relief asked for was
| not granted.

Death of Angustus scheII

our dispatches this morning announce
the death of Augustus Schell, Of New
York Mr.. Schell was one Of the best
known men in the country. He was an
old Tammany leader. For forty years OF
more he played prominent part in city,
State and national politics. He was born
in Duchess county, New York, August
/, 1912, and was the fifth Of a family Of
eight children. His parents were natives
Of Staatsburg, Germany. He graduated
at Union College. in 1890, and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1888, at Albany, y.
Y He practiced law in New York city
twenty-five years. In 1852 he came very
near receiving the nomination for Gov
ernor. In 1856 Buchanan made him Col
Iector of the Port Of New York. At the
close Of his term as Collector, being rich,
he gave his attention to railroads, and be-
came director in several
railroad corporations. He was
particularly active in charitable
and philanthropic enterprises, and con-
tributed largely to nearly all the charita-
bic institutions of New York city. Dur
Ing the reign of the Tweed ring, Mr..
SchelI withdrew from active participation
in the affairs of the Tammany Society and
did what be could to break up the ring
and wrest the city government from the
plunderers. He was Chairman of the
National Committee which called the St.
Louis Convention in 1876 which nOmi-
mated Mr. Tilden. That was the III st
National Convention ever held west Of
the Mississippi. Mr.. Schell appeared last
in politics in 1877 when he was defeated
for Mayor by Edward Cooper. He had a
long. busy and q useful career.

SHE DIDN'T FLAP HER WINGS
SO a Philadelphia Boys Attempt to

SO a Philadelphia Boys Attempt to
Make His Sister Fly Ends with a
Broken Leg.
4 West Philadelphia boy, says the
Times Of the oath, tried an experiment
Monday. He had made up his mind that
a human being could fly as well as a bird
if he went about it in the right way, and
he thought he knew the way. He per-
suaded his younger sister, who had great
confidence in him, to become his assist
ant. Having laid his plans before her,
and convinced her that flying was a very
simple matter after all, she consented to
make the first attempt. He took her up
to the second story porch, and, hav-
ing brought out pair of big tur-
key wings, an old umbrella and some
stout cord. he began to rig up the too con-
fiding victim for the great trial. He
bound one wing to the outside of each of
her arms and fastened the outspread um-
brella to her body by putting the handle
behind her head and passing the cord
around just below her shoulders. The
umbrella was to act as a parachute, about
which he had read just enough to make
his knowledge dangerous, and he quoted
the girls misgivings by saying that this
arrangement would 'let her down easy"
When the little girl stood completely ar
rayed for the trip the boy told her that all
she had to do was to jump and flap her
wings and she would fly like any bird.
Five minutes later the family doctor was
sent for in great haste to mend a broken
leg, and the youth, when upbraided and
punished for his cruel folly, insisted that
if the little goose had tapped her wings
as he told her she would have been all
right.
