The NIeetinr of Congress.

Congress met yesterday under very IA
vorable auspices. The organization of
the two houses was effected without
trouble or delay. The number OF absentees
was small. There seemed to be feeling,
as gathered from the dispatches, that the
session would be a very notable one.
There are certainly some very important
questions that will be brought forward
for sideration-question in which the
people are very deeply interested, and on
the settlement OF which great interests
are dependent. Unfortunately there are
great differences Of opinion with regard
to these questions, and the discussion of
them may delay beyond the session their
final determination.
The Hennepin canal schemers were on
hand with an announcement that thev
were ready for business. II is plain that
they intend TO make a strong fight TO sad
die the canal scheme on the government.
II Is = wonder that the Tehuantepec rail-
way scheme was not announced in pretty
much the same way. Other schemes,
doubtless, for getting public. aid for prl-
yRte enterprises will make their appear
ance before the session advances very
far. u is TO be hoped that Congress will
consent TO do something before the usual
holiday recess. II it does the Forty-ninth
Congress will have the credit OF having
established precedent.

Dorsey's Observation-Disclosures watch.

FTonl ne 50. louis Repu6Itcd1, Dec. I.
Last year ex-senator Dorsey had $1,000
watch stolen from him while in attendance
here at the cattle convention. A reward was
offered and detectives employed, but without
SUCCESS until Dave Cook, chief of the Rocky
Mountain detectives. received word from the
thief himself saying that the watch cases and
works were so marked with DOrsey's initials
that the watch could not be sold for anything
like its value, and proposing TO return it for a
reasonable sum. When Cook reported the
matter to the ex-senator he authorized him
to offer the thief $500. This was accepted, and
the day before Dorsey left for home an ex-
press package containing the watch was sent
up to his room at the Southern.

The report OF the Board of Education of
Chicago upon the condition OF the eyes of
the children of one of the schools of that
city has caused the question to be raised
whether it would not be advisable to close
the school for short period. 1t seems
that the eyesight of a majority of the chill
dren is so bad that they are in danger of
becoming blind before reaching maturity.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
seeing that schoolrooms are properly VEN
tilated and lighted.

The editor of the Philadelphia Times
writes from Washington to his paper that
the free traders are jubilant over the
suicidal policy Of the protectiOnists that
proposes 10 resist every form of tariff re-
vision" Mr.. Mcclure is a close observer,
and has heard, doubtless, the sounds of
merriment from the free trade camp. The
time to let "joy be unconfined," however,
will be when satisfactory reform of the
tariff shall have been effected.

1t is said that the Hennepin canal
schemers intend TO try and have the Hen
nepin canal scheme referred to the River
and Harbor Committee. At the last
session OF Congress the Committee on
Railways and Canals had charge Of it.
Railways are antagonistic TO canals, and
hence the Hennepin people want TO get
the canal project away from the Railway

A Sketch Of His Life and Distin-
guiShed Services in War and Peace.

John Charles Black was born on the eth of
January, 1889. His father. John black, Of
Pennsylvania, was born on the 18th OF July,
1909, and was married TO Josephine l.. GILBERT
son, of the old Pennsylvania family of that
NAME on the 9th of September, 1884. From
this marriage four children grew up, three of
whom still survive. The father entered the
Presbyterian ministry, and went Soath when
% years of age, remaining there until about q
year prior to his death, which occurred on the
18th of February, 1917 The mother still sur

of Danvile to which place Mrs. Black removed
in the Spring of lS41. after the death of her
husband. above referred to, taking with her her
four children. Before his death the father OBJ
tanned \ wide repute as a preacher of unusual
power, eloqucnce, and fervor, and was made Il
Doctor of Divinity when SO years of age. At
the time of his death he WAS the pastor of the
Fifth Presbyterian Church of Allcgany City,
Pa. Since her removal to Danvillc, in 1871,
Gen. Blacks mother has been continuously Il

A Dark and EIoody Rerord.

Chas. Rose, who was convicted at Atlanta,
Ga, last week, Of burglary, will serve 90 years
ia the penitentiary, Rose has had singular
history. Eighteen months ago his wife, Jennie,
was found SHOT to death in her home Nancy
Frazer, cousin, was the only inmate Of the
house with her. Suspicion fell on Charley.
who was known to be intimate with the Frazer
girl and with Clara Suggs. The young women
were arrested also, but sufficient evidence could
not be brought against them. Four months
later Nancy Frazer died in the pangs of ma
ternity after alleging that Rose was the father
of her child and was guilty of the murder of
his wife. The child had hole through its
head corresponding with the wound found in
Mrs. Roses head. 1t died, and was buried in
the same coffin with its mother. A week later
Clara Suggs took morahine, and when dying
told her companions hat Rose had killed his
wife and that she helped him. The robbery
OF the Richmond & Danville paycar followed,
of which Rose was undoubtedly the hero but
sufficient evidence could not be secured on
which to convict him. His last oflense was the
burglary of a saloon. His criminal career is
now supposed 10 be ended.
