NO. EXTRA SESSION.

The governor declines to put the
state to the unnecessary expense of
an extra session of the legislature.
The main grounds of the request OF
the governor to call an extra session
was the immediate need of reappor.
tionment of representa- on, which Is
treated at LEM 9Th by the governor in
his letter declining to issue the call.
The constitution authorizes the gov
ernor to call an extra session of the
legislature only on "extraOrdinary
occasions" and the governor in COM
ing to his conclusions cannot see such
an extraordinary occasion" as would
Justify him in making the call and
putting the state to the expense Of
an extra session.
The governor says: "The consti-
tuition itself anticipates unequal in
crease of population with resulting
inequality in the existing apportion-
ment, and authorizes the taking OF a
census to ascertain the fact, and a
reapportioDment every five years at
the next session after the census, as
was from the first expected. Can
that be called an "extraordinary &C.
casion' which occurs according to
habit and expectation! An extraor-
binary reason for called session has
been found IN an assumed probability
that the next legislature will not re-
apportion. The next is the one of
which that work is constiutionally
expected"
Referring to the state grain laws
he says:
"lf experience showed definite and
serioas.defects in the laws relating
to the inspection, weighing and hand
ling Of grain, or for the regulation of
railroad companies, or if the railroad
and warehouse commissioners found
their powers insufficient for the sue.
cesefnlsdischarge OF their duties, !
sh0Rla consider the. prompt amend.
ment of those laws desirable. per.
haps at the cost OF an extra session.
But it is yet too soon to determine
what amendments are essential
The action of the governor meets
with general and hearty approval
through the state. An extra session
OF the legislature was not needed and
it is public relief that the governo,
has 10 decided.

wagon began to wobble. Said !,

Putting his head out of the window,
the judge shouted; "Why you intern

Turning round with great gravity,
the coachman said "Be dad! but
that's the first rightful session your
Honor's given n twel' mont"
If people knew the facts they would
be surprised to learn how many people
reel IN the streets who never drink n
drop" They are the victims Of sleep

Are the Sexes Changing,

Under the startling heading "Arethe
Sexes Changing a New York CORE
s%pondent writes to the San Francisco
Argonant:
1t Is rather amusing to not Just how
that the fashionable world displays q
tendency decidedly in reverse OF that
which obtained a few years ago, Once
it was proper for men to cultivate a
martial bearing. They held their
heads in the air, took manly strides,
held their shoulders back and were
brisk and laxative. The proper
thing in girls at that time was the
dropping and willOwy article. 1t
hadn't much appetite, and it Cultiva
ted the habit OF dropping its lids over
its large blue eyes. All this is very
bad form now. Men should droop a
little, carry themselves ~careIessly and
bend their heads n triiie forward if the
500 specimens on view at the horse
show are to be taken as examples.
Their clothes should not fit too
oAAtSig NIlflL ILotoClS must bc very
wide and always freshly ironed, so
that the seams will show, Just as they
do in trousers that have just come
from the tailor. From Gglance at 500
Of these men it will appear that all OF
them copied from the same model.
Few of them wear side-whiskers now,
and nearly all are content with q sim.
pie moustache. They wear high hats
with two-inch bands about them, black
coats that are cutaway in front, gray
trousers, white overgaiters and var
nished boots. Add a pair of brick
cOlore GLOW es, a buckhrn stick and
a red tie, and you have what would
appear to be absolutely correct in New
York at this particular time of the
year at the horse show. 1t is rather
difficult to gain this information, for
no man seems to care for any other
man, end all eyes are turned on the
woman. They walk like so many
dashing dragons, with their chin high
ill the air, their big eyes open to the
full limit OF the law and their magnifi-
cent shoulders and busts encased in
tailor-made jackets. They stare at
the men with superb indifference and
walk about as if the world owed them
homage and must render it in spite OF
everything.

A FRISKY COLT.
.tacing for Two Miles Ahead OF "a Railroad
Train, and Coming to Grief ON "A TrestIe.

.tacing for Two Miles Ahead of "A Railroad
Train, and Coming to Grief ON "A TrestIe.
Il vas a passenger on the Vermont
Central railway the other day." SAID
a gentleman to a New York Sun re.
porter. "a short time after the train
left Windsor, Vt, a young horse that
was feeding in a lot close by the side
OF the track kicked up his heels when
the train was within a few rods ofhim,
and, leaping the fence at a bound,
jumped on the track, and galloped
away ahead OF the train. The en-
gineer sounded his whistle, and, al
though the train was almost upon
the horse, the animal did not leave
the track. The engineer lessened his
speed, SC that the horse could keep
out Of the reach of the train, thinking
that the animal would soon be
frightened of. He kept straight
ahead, however, and the cars chased
him closely for two miles. At that
point the railroad crosses q deep ra.
vine by a trestle bridge ninety feet
long. Some workmen were at the end
OF the t~restle, and when they saw the
horse tearing down the track toward
them they shook their coats and hal
looed at him. The horse stopped at
sight of the men, but, looking back
and seeing the engine puffngand whis.
ting behind him, started ahead again
with q snort, and galloped upon the
t~restle, although he could easily have
left the railroad on either side of the
rails. The horseran safely more than
half way across the t~-estle, and then
missed his footing. Both forefeet
went down between the ties, and then
the hind feet and legs went through,
and the horse was suspended over the
ravine, the bottom of which was near.
ly a hundred feet below. The train
was stopped before it ran on the tres
tie. The trainmen took u number
OF boards from a neighboring fence
and placed them by the side
OF the horse. They then tied his
legs together and rolled him
over on the boards on his side. James
Amman, a passenger, was out ON the
trestling looking at the men at work
at the horse. He became dizzy and
fell through OF the spaces between
the ties. He mechanically turn.
ed rs he was p~assingt through and flung
both arms over one OF the ties. He
hung there in niidair over the chasm,
and before his hold could give way he
was seized by two other passengers
who stood near, and rescued. He
tainted a moment afterward, and was
not fully conscious for an hour.
when the horse was finally turned
over on his side on the fence-boards a
rope was fastened to him and attach.
ed to the locomotive, which was back.
ed down the track, dragging the horse
along the boards until he was drawn
of the trestle. He was then dragged
of TO one side of the track and his
legs united. He quickly sprang to his
feet, and, without waiting for any one
to examine his injuries, galloped back
Ia the direction from which he had
come. As soon as ne had ran the
length Of the train he took to the rail
road again, although the ground on
both sides was smooth and level. The
train was delayed three-quarters ofan
hour by the stubborn freak OF the
tricky horse"
