The Move fer Open Sessions of tl
 Senate Gaining Form.

The Move fer Open Sessions of the
 Senate Gaining Form.
 WASHINGTON, April 4.-The proposition to hold open executive sessions of the Senate appear to gain friends daily, and it is not at all improbable that something will be done to remove this unpopular feature of the pro- ceedings of the upper house. There are two resolutions in support of open executive ses- sions now before the Senate-the one intro duced by Mir. Platt, allowing secret executive sessions when the Senate shall deem it ad visable, and the other by MT. Logan provid- ing for open sessions for the consideration of nominations. MT. Platt intends to bring up his resolution and speak upon it at an early date, possibly during this week. Should MT. Edmunds decide to support resolution in favor of opening the doors or of making public the journal at the end of each execu- tive session, there is no doubt about its adop- tion. The Vermont Senator fully realizes the importance of gratifying the public in this regard, but does not yet see how the matter can be adjusted without injury to the public service. MT. Edmunds takes the ground that should the doors be open to the public the confidential exchange of views about nominees could not be freely in dulged in as now, but is inclined to support a movement which will modify the present method of doing executive business. During the recent discussion upon the Edmunds bill several Democratic Senators committed themselves in favor of open sessions-among them MessTs. George, Maxey, Butler and Coke. Messrs. Voorhees, and Beck are and always have been friends of the proposed change, while Mr. Harris has pronounced himself as bitterly opposed to it. On the Republican side, Messrs. Van Wyck, Logan, Platt, Dolph Hale, Harrison, Riddle berger, Morrill,, Teller, Plumb and Edmunds have either expressed themselves openly or in conversation in favor of some change.

Explicit Directions Concerning the
 Care of the Bedroom.

From the Cleveland PlalndeaIer.i
 At night close the blinds, pull down the shades and light the gas or lamp. Unless there is running water in the room carry away waste water, fill pitchers and bring fresh drinking water. Take off large pill lows and shams if used, and bedspread if desired, and lay them carefully on a chair. Turn the gas down low before leaving the room.
 In the morning go to the bedroom the first thing after breakfast, open the win dows, beat up the pillows and lay all the bed-clothes to air Rooms should be left to air at least one hour. If the weather is very stormy the windows must not be open ed. Do not put the bedding where it will show from the street; it looks badly. Hang & nightgown in the closet; it is not healthful to roll it up and put it under the pillow.
 Before beginning to make the bed carry away all soiled clothing, towels, etc., talk ing care to dry carefully all damp articles.
 Empty all waste water, and after rinsing the vessels wash them thoroughly with hot suds and dry them thoroughly with cloths kept for that purpose. Never wipe toilet sets with the soiled towels.
 Take to the bedroom a pail of hot suds, and, with sponge and cloth, wash and wipe everything on the washstand. In the case of stationary washstand especially the bowl must be carefully washed every morning with hot suds, or black scum will settle on it. Should this occur, SCOUT the basin with borax and water.
 Fill the pitchers with fresh water and place clean towels on the rack when neces- sary.
 While doing this work protect your dress with a coarse apron. You are now ready to remove this wash your hands and begin yonr bed making. Three things are necessary to a well-made bed it should be level, square and smooth.
 To keep it level the mattress, if made of feathers or straw, should be thoroughly shaken up and turned every day. Feathers should be frequently exposed to the sun and air to keep them sweet and dry. If the mattress is made of hair or cotton it should be turned twice week, once from head to foot and once from side to side Mattresses made in two pieces are so easily managed that they can be turned every day.
 To make the bed square fold the clothes carefully at the corners and sides.
 To make it smooth draw all the clothes, specially the spread, very tight.
 When you take the clothes off to air the bed and when you put them back to make it, stand at the same side of the bed, other wise the clothes may get turned about. The lower sheet should be put on right side up, with the wide hem at the top of the bed. Tuck it in smoothly before putting on the next sheet. Put the upper sheet on right side down, SO that when it is turned over the right side of

l the hem will be on the outside. Allow this I sheet to come above the blankets enough to turn over we'll.
 In putting on the blankets be careful not to let them come too near the top of the bed. When double blankets are used the open end should be at the head of the bed If the blankets are single and narrow the upper one may be laid from side to side instead of lengthwise.
 If the bedspread is to be removed at night. fold the sheet back over the blankets E and under the spread, which should be tucked in tight all around. When the spread is left on the bed turn it's top under the blankets and bring the upper sheet over all, laying it down smoothly on the outside. Tuck in the clothes smoothly on all sides, drawing the spread tight and making the corners square. Be careful to have the clothes at the foot of the bed folded under the mattress.
 Next lay on the bolster carefully and set the pillows evenly against the headboard: If shams are used pin them to the tops of pillows. Do not stick pins into the bed stead.
 Last, look under the bed to see that none of the clothes hang down in sight.
 After the bed is made brush up the room, using whisk-broom and dust-pan or carpet sweeper. Once week bedrooms should be thoroughly swept, at which time the beds should be covered.
 Dust daily with soft cloth. Remove fin ger marks from paint or mirrors with cloths wrung out in hot water. Alcohol used in stead of water is excellent for cleaning mir TOTS. Keep the woodwork of room clean, especially the baseboards and all the wood about the windows. Inside blinds require frequent dusting and brushing.
 Empty scrap baskets and hair bag. The contents of the latter should be burned, and never allowed to get into any of the water pipes; it clogs them.
 Put the furniture in nlace and arrange the curtains and shades neatly before leaving the room.
 Rooms that are kept clean and cool and free from dust will seldom be infested with bugs. Once month bedsteads should be well washed. If the beds old wash with strong brine or alum water, and use insect powder in cracks snd joinings. Twice a year put mattresses out in the sun. In Feb ruary and March examine beds often and carefully

The telephone is operated by direct current and not by induced currents as are others and no inducement coils are needed.

PRIEST Vs. BISHOP.

Right of the Superior to Decide as to
 Duties of Ills SubordInates.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-The suit brought by the ex-Rev. M. P. Stack against Bishop O'Hara in Common Pleas court No. of this county was decided yesterday in, an interesting opinion by Presiding Judge Thayer. The parties to the suit were pries and bishop in the Catholic church. Father Stack filed 8 declaration of suit averring that it was the duty of the defendant as bishop of the dio- cese of Scranton, under the canons and cus- toms of the church, to assign the plaintiff to the exercise of his office of priest, that the defendant refused so to assign him, and that by reason of his refusal he was deprived of the means of obtaining large sum of money. In rendering judgment for the bishop a demurrer, Judge Thayer held that the question at issue was one in which the defendant had the right as bishop, in the exercise of purely ecclesiastical function, to use his official discretion. In the exercise of that discretion he was answerable only to the laws of the church. The priest, if so disposed, could refuse to perform duty to which he was assigned by the bishop with out mourning any civil liability, and the mu tuality of obligations was the essence of all contracts.

NEW YoRK'S POODLE STATESMEN.
 More of the Railway Aldermen Cath cred in Yesterday.
 NEW YORK, April 4.-The members of the 1884 board of aldermen spent quiet day to- day, at least those who were in the city. Most of them felt satisfied that Inspector Byrnes would let them rest over Sunday. A few are reported to have attended church, but the majority visited resorts frequented by their constituents and talked matters over. The Central office detectives who have of late taken such decided interest in the movements of the poodle statesmen were in active and taciturn. The sergeant in charge of the desk at police headquarters told a United Press reporter that no aldermen of the 1884 board would be likely during Sunday to grace the cell occupied by Jaehne and Kirk. E'It's too stormy day to bring poor, inoffensive alderman in," said the ser geant. "It might depress his spirits too much" Billy Mahoney, the late reading clerk of the board, is said to have been seen in Norwalk lately; in fact within few days.
