VICE.PRESIDENT SHERMAN,
REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS
NOMlNATES HIM UNANIMOUSLY.
Senator sherman Makes Brief speech
LegisIating on the Nice-Presidentiai
Electoral Count Bill
TO be Reintroduced.

WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The Senate Re
nublican caucus, Saturday, nominated Mr..
John sherman for president pro tempore.
- Mr.. Sherman received all the VOTES put
four. ard upon motion of Mr.. Edmunds
the nomination was made unanimous.
Sherman accepted the nomination with a
brief speech as follows -
Senator's: l return my hearty thanks
for the high honor you propose to confer
upon me. Your choice, no doubt, has
been influenced by the fact that | have
long been member of the Senate. Still
duties hitherto have not given me the
practical experience necessary for good
presiding officer. | can only say, in ac-
cepting the position assigned me, that l
will do all can fairly and impartially to
observe and enforce the rules of the Sen
ate, and shall rely greatly upon your Tor
bearance and courtesy.
1t was then determined that bills relat-
ing to the presidential election and also TO
presidential succession winch nau passed.
the Senate should be introduced as soon
as practicable, and after proper Difference
and consideration should be promptly
passed. The former is known as the Hoar
bill. 1t cOnterS the succession TO tne
President and the Nice-President upon the
cant then upon the Secretary OF the Treas
urv, succession passing to other members
of the cabinet in turn in cases of vacancy.
The electoral count bill, also to be reintro-
duced by order Of the Republican caucus
is that known as the Edmunds bill of the
last Congress. Its pivotal feature Is the
provision that each State may by its own
tribunals, determine all controversy with
regard to its own electoral vote. Senator
Edmunds said he was opposed to the cleo
toral count bill in some of its details as II
stands, but with some amendment he SAID
he should support it.
The incident of nominating Logan Ell
day in order to allow him to decline, Is
said to have been merely for the sake OF
effect and to salVe his feelings The fact
that Senator Edmunds nominated hin
and that he received the unanimous vote
of the caucus, is said to have put him II
particularly good humor. His speech de
cllning the position Is severely criticised
by the Democrats.
The Republican House Caucus.

al nTiIIionaire Editor.

New York Cor. Philadelphia Record.l
The only really handsome millionaire
that know of in this city is Mr.. Allen
Thorndyke Rice, the editor and propri-
etor of The North American Review.
Mr.. Rice is said to be the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of So, 200, 900, which is but drop
In the bucket compared to the fortunes of
many of our wealthy citizens; but, still,
il Is very comfortable sum to have at
ones command, and Mr. Rice knows how
to use it to his own enjoyment and to the
enjoyment of others Mr.. Rice is a young
man, not 80 1 should say, with olive com,
plexion, dark brown hair. large hazel
eyes, a good straight nose, and we'll
brushed. Close-Cut beard, overhung by a
long mustache. He dresses quietly, and,
while his clothes are all of the hand
soonest material, he seems to have a fancy
for top-coat that is little worn in the
seams, so that his clothes will not have
the appearance of having just come from
the tailor.
Mr. Rice is a very busy man; for, be-
sides taking care of his money, he looks
after the interests of The North American,
engages contributors, and when he is in
New York takes entire charge of the
editorial department upon his shoulders.
But all this does not seem to occupy the
whole of his time, for he has recently gone
into other branches of business. so that he
keeps two secretaries going all day long.
One of Mr.. Riees recent schemes is a
bureau for furnishing literary articles to a
syndicate of newspapers. The first arti
cles that have appeared in this syndicate,
from Mr.. Rice's bureau, were published a
short time ago. l suppose that-f1r. Rice g
idea Is to furnish somewhat the same class
Of articles to the newspapers as appear in
the pages Of The North American. Of
course, not so long, but articles of literary
rather than local or temporary interest.

He had q temporary theater built out in

by some Of the greatest scene-painters of

Standeld, K. A, was afterward framed
and covered with glass, and hung in the
entrance hall of Gad's Hill.
In the play called The Lighthouse
written by Mr. Wilkie Collins, the great
effect at the end of an act was to come
from a storm and the rehearsing of this
storm was very serious matter indeed.

A Great Festival.

One of the most characteristic festivals of
the Russian empire-is the "Kreshtchenie

The performance is said to date 300 years
back to the time when Prince Vladimir
and his Kiev spearmen dipped themselves
in the Dnieper and swore to be true to
Crist and his law +" Ever since, on the
18th day of January, inevery part of the
vast empire, the cross is plunged through
the ice into the rivers, and the priests
traditional formula of blessing is uttered
over it. In st. Petersburg the ceremony
assumes the aspect of national festival
As the MONDAY gun sounds, the gate of

The Bone Industry.

The bone industry of the country is
an important one The four feet of an
ordinary OK will make pint of neatsfoot

away. Many cattle shin bones are shipped
to Europe for the making of knife
handles, where they bring $40 per ton.
The thigh bones are the most valuable,
being worth $50 per ton for cutting into
tooth brush handles The fOreleg bones
are worth $50 per ton. and are made into
cellar buttons parasol handles, and jew

for parasol handles The water in which
the bones are boiled is reduced to glue,

BANANA SEEDS.

The Grass Valley 7tdings a
month ago advised the foothill farm
ers to plant banana seeds, andoffer-
ed S10to the man of Placer or Nevada
who would plant the most banana
seeds. All its agricultural contem-
poraries are seconding the motion
and are quite aglow with the idea.
The bone of the joke is that the
banana has no seeds. No man has
seen banana seed. When the
1fdings man published his offer he
expected to be called to order by
the horticultural and agricultural
gentlemen who instruct farmers and
orchardists through the newspapers.
But those editors seem to know
everything about plants excepting
that one fact-the banana has no
seeds.-Wapa Register.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG WOMAN.

My daughter, when you note that
the man who wants to marry you is
just too awfully anxious to learn
whether you can bake a loaf Of
bread or wash shirt with Chinese
dexterity, before you close the
negotiations do you just fly round
and ascertain if that man is either
willing or able to earn enough flour
to make biscuit, and if he has paid
for the shirt he wants you to wash.
Nine times out of ten, daughter, the
man who onl y wants a housekeeper
can be kept more economically in
the workhousc than he can in your
fathers house.
