 A pretended veteran of Solferino and Se- dan has been laying the broad foundation of fortune by playing upon one of the fash ;onable foibles of New Workers. He anxious ly inquiries of passers-by if they can speak the language of sunny France, and, as if talk ing it for granted that he will be compre- hended, he hastens to relate in his native tongue his pitiable condition. Gratifed van ity has many time rewarded the appeals of the crafty rogue with gifts to which char itable spirit alone would hardly prompt.
 Tie Chinese believe that their brains are better than the brains of people of any other country. It is an interesting fact that in China, with it's three hundred millions of people, there is no insane asylum for the whole kingdom, and that in the general hos pital at Shanghai, where over twenty two thousand persons are treated annually, the average number of the insane is only eleven. In Eurepc there is to-day one insane person to every three hundred of the population, and | the proportion is said to be increasing more l rapidly than the population in all civilized countries.
 The annual returns of musical productions | in Germany show that there is no falling of | in quantity, whatever the average quality may be. Last year 5, ,473 distinct pieces of
 music were published, the total for 1883 having been 5,433. Of the former number 261 are classified as for symphonic orchestra,
 51 for instrumental bands otherwise consti-
 tuted. 406 for single stringed instruments, l Ill for single wind instruments, 1895 for
 pianoferte, 220 for zither, 85 for organ, 53 for harmonium, 10 for harp, 10 for guitar | and for children's musical instruments.
 The balance is accounted for by 1,862 vocal | compositions of all kinds.

CAPITOL Topics.

JOINT RULES OF THE TWO HOUSES.
The Senate Committee on Rules held its first
meeting this morning and instructed Senator
Frye its chairman, to report back to the Senate
code of joint rules for the government Of the
official intercourse between the two Houses. The
code Is identical with the joint code which the
Senate acted upon two years ago, except in re-
spect to rule ID, which the committee has
stricken out. This rule prohibits the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in the Capitol building
The Senate has a rule of this Kind in it's own
code. and the committee thought it unneces-
sary to incorporate 1t in the joint rules, beiev-
ing the matter was one which should be left to
control of each House within its Own domain.
DISCUSSING THE HOUSE RULES.
The House committee on rules had a short
session this morning and informally discussed
the notifications of the rules submitted by
Messrs. Morrison and Springer. Another meet
ing will be held tonight.
Alter the meeting was over the opinion was
expressed that the Morrison resolution would
be adopted with some notifications. The dis
tribution feature, it was said, would be retained

Augustus +. Alder, u private in engine COM
pany No. 1, was taken sick while standing in
front OF the engine house this morning and died
in less than an hour afterwards Last night the
deceased was in good spirits and, with the ex-
ception OF cough, he appeared to be in excel
lent health. This morning. after he arose, he
attended to his daily duties about the stable,
and after getting through he went up stairs to
wash his face and hands preparatory to going
home TO breakfast. While in the wash room he
seemed perfectly well, and spoke about having
his hair cut. He went down stairs, and was
standing in front of the house, waiting to be re-
licved, when he was taken with fainting
spell. and about to fall, when he was
caught by two other members of the company
and carried back into the house. DR. Magruder
was sent for. While waiting for the arrival of
the doctor the sick man told Engineer Shedd
that he was suffering with pain in his breast.
He died in 90 minutes after he was first taken
with the fainting spell. The deceased entered
the service of the department July LIST of this
year, and has served faithfully since that time,
and was generally liked by all the men in the
company. His remains were removed to his
late home. 1117 10Th street, where an autopsy

WRITING NOTE TO WOAAN AND GETTING
FORCIBLE REPLY.
st. Louis special November 10th, says: A
carriage stopped late last night at the house of
James Kerr, u lawyer, and the driver presented
note for Miss Callie Mcmillan. This hap
pened to be Mrs. Kerr's maiden name and
after reading the note she handed it to
her husband. II requested q meeting at q
notorious resort and spoke of mutual
where the man was who sent the note. The
driver answered, "At the Southern hotei.' Mr..
Kerr then said that he would go and see the
stranger. The driver objected and finally ran
to his carriage, and attempted to drive away
Mr.; Kerr caught the carriage, jumped in,
and found himself face to face with q man. He
struck the stranger, and q rough-and- tumble
fight occurred, in which both men rolled out of
the carriage into the street. Kerr proved to be
the better man. He beat the stranger terribly
and took him to the police station. The stran.
ger gave the name of James Brown, and sent
for daniel Byrnes to sign his bond. When the
case was called this morning the stranger failed
to appear and the bond was forfeited. Brown
is not the strangers name. He is said to be a
prominent member of the Merchants Ex.

NOMINATIONS IN THE SENATE.
Republiean senators Hold Caucus, hat
Decide ON No Line OF Action.

The republican Senators met in caucus about
1890 this morning and continued In session
until nearly pm. Senator Sherman resigned
the craftsmanship Of the caucus and Senator
Edmunds was chosen in his place. The vacan-
cies on the COMMITTEES were filled and then the
subject OF policy with regard to the Presi-
dents nominations was taken up. A very
animated discussion followed, and quite differ
ence of opinion was manifested. Some favored
general opposition. Others thought that where
vacancies had been filled with acceptable men
such men should be confirmed, but that where
republicans had been removed on the score of
offensive partisanship' and partisan demo
Gratis put in their places such nominations
ought to be opposed.
After o long debate the caucus adjourned
without reaching any conclusion or deciding
upon any policy, and it is the opinion of some
of the republicans that no definite line of policy
can be fixed on this subject. The nominations
will probably be considered and disposed of
upon the merits or dement's OF each Individual
