A petition Of Frederick and Alvine
Iheil.iofhe To change their names to
F,oL,II,k mud ALVIN Teilsifred was
presented lis reading created con.
siderable mirihfulness. The reasons
give we're that the family name was
exceedingly difficult to pronounce
aud as they allege. the source of
much profanity among their neigh
bors. and the cause Of annoyance
To themselves, liable to produce
temporary il not permanent abei-
ration Of mind Of petitioners.
Mr.. Lndsley who presented the
petition was willing to indefinitely
postpone consideration of the sub
ject. as he did not SEQ any improve
ment IN tho proposed change, and
the House taking the same view of
the subject. 1t was no ordered.

{. II. 90, 10 more specifically de-
iino the duties OF District Courts in
relation To the naturalizat on of
aliens came up.
Judges Dennison and Lewis stated
that tho object Of tho bill was to
merely obtnin an expression OF the
Legislature upon tina construction
placed upon certain sections Of the
Revised Statute, on this subject. 1t
seems that tho mini Of the Judge OF
tho Third District has become
cioudod ~ 10 what constitutes Dis
tticl Court. requiring applicants for
citizenship to make frequently an
expensive journey to Courts posses
sessing distinctive United States
jurisdiction.
DIR. Os,rauder thought that il the
courts would but recognize the good
common sense of this House, it
would bs better for them. He was
IN favor Of the bill because it was
common sense. and the quotation
from the Revised Statutes, by Judge
Dennison. was conclusive on the
subject.
The bill then passed.

propriaiing $40, 600 for the Terrific
rial University. Judge Lewis spoke
in favor OF the bill, and wished a
vote taken now. He declared that
Il did not appropriate money enough.
The King county representatives had
favorably considered the appropria-
ton bills for the Eastern members
and they should reciprocate the
good will.
Judge Dennison called for delay.
IL was q matter OF too much import
ancs 10 pass in this hurried manner
Mr.. Wells said that Judge Lewis
had asked for delay in the consider
alton Of his bill making an appropri.
alton for artesian wells, which had
been conceded. and he was at loss
to know why tho same rule would
not apply TO the bill now before the
House, He was disposed to favor
tho bill but wanted it in q more per-
feet shape.
On motion, the bill was laid on
tho table.
II. Is. relating to tho smoking of
opium was indefinitely postponed.
