We call attention to Brown II Bagc-
lev's advertisement of Cemetery work
in this issue. The Rutland Herald
says of them:
From what we personally know of
the firm, aud from their favorable rep
utation of many years standing in this
region, we can heartily recommend them
to the public. Rutland has become the
hub of the Marble industry of America.
The nearer to the quarter and whole
sale manufacturer purchaser buys,
the surer he will be to obtain the most
and best for his money.

WASHINGTON, May Mr.. Hall, of Iowa,
called up the Campbell Weaver contested cleo

lucky, raised the question of consideration, 1t
being his desire to dispose Of the river and har-
Dor bill. He failed in his object by one vote,
however, and the election case was proceeded

After debate for an hour and half, the reso-
luton of the majority of the committee on cleo
tions was adopted. 1t confirms the right Of the

Mr. Green, of New Jersey, called up the reso-
luton allowing the contested. William A. Pierce,
from the Second district of Rhode Island, thirty
days within which to take further testimony
and the contestant, C. B. Page, ten days there
after to take testimony in rebuttal.
The resolution was advocated by Mr.. Green,
Mr.. Turner of Georgia, Mr.. Lowry of Indiana
and Mr. Hall of Iowa The arguments of these
gentlemen were to the effect that the contestee
claimed that he was not represented at the ex-
animation Of the witnesses of the contestant re-
lying on the fact that the testimony was not
taken within the time prescribed by the statutes.
The contestant testiies to verbal agreement
between himself and the counsel of the con-
testee, waving the taking of such testimony
within that time. While they would, under or
binary circumstances, compel the parties to OBJ
serve strictly the requirements of the statutes.
they held that the testimony presented by the
confession disclosed such wholesale and open bri-
berry. duplicating even the eontestee himself,
that the House, in justice to its own dignity,
must take notice of It.
The resolution was opposed by Mr.. Hopkins of
Illinois. Mr. Ely OF Massachusetts,, Mr. Rowell
OF Illinois, and Mr.. Spooner Of Rhode Island,
who maintained that Page had abandoned his
contest, and that it should not now be reopened.

The general passenger agents of the roads in
the Central Traffic Association expect to be in
session in Chicago most of this week. To-day
the question of how to operate the sub-pools
comes up for hearing and the chairman OF
each pool will be decided upon. The local chair
man of each sub-pool is to keep his eye on pas
senger rates within his jurisdiction and see to it
that the members of the association keep within
the ssraitened course prescribed for them. Any
dispute or complaint will be referred to him for
adjustment, and only the important agra
waited cases will be appealed TO the higher power
Mr.. Blanchard. Quite another important power
to be invested in the local chairman is the alb
solute control Of special tickets and rates. The
general passenger agent will, of course, have
charge of tickets of his own ISSUE but theatrical
rates, shippers tickets, etc, will be solely
within the chairman's control When an
excursion agent or q theatrical advance
agsnt wishes to secure transportation for his
company at special rate it will be futile for
him to approach a general passenger agent on
the subject, for the latter. under the proposed
system, would be powerless to sell him tickets
at the established theatrical rate. He must be
referred to the chairman, who, on payment OF
the specified fare, would issue to him an order
which could be exchanged for tickets over any
of the competing lines, at his option. The
Cleveland Leader says this is a very novel
method OF conducting railroad business, but it
was considered safeguard against rate-cutting
and therefore adopted. No important interior
ence with the issue of passes by the individual
companies has been made. The subject was
discussed at the last meeting, but difficulties in
the way of controlling the issue OF passes pre-
scented themselves, and the matter was dropped.
Only at ST. Louis and Cincinnati have these
sub pools yet been carried into operation, but at
the convention OF sub-pool cnairmen In Chicago,
for their immediate operation at all points of
Importance.

Disarming the scaIpers,

Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
May ], began to issue excursion tickets between
New York and Washington at rate of $40. and
between New York and Baltimore So, and five
day excursion tickets between New York and
Wilmingtos V, good for ten days. This reduc-
ton is q further step toward disarming ticket
scalpers, who have been dealing in tickets be-
tween these important cities. A stop-over will
be allowed on all these tickets at Philadelphia
and also at Baltimore on those between New
York and Washington. and their issue will not
be restricted to New York, but will extend to
Philadelphia and all the more important stations

Getting Plants Ready for Winter.

London Household Words: The best
position for g~eraniums recently potted,
and, indeed, for nearly all plants in
preparation for wintering in green
houses or windows. is a cold frame,
the pots stood on boards or states in it,
or a layer of sharp ashes. If stood on
soil worms will be certain TO find their
way into the posts, and then the plants
cannot thrive. But numbers Of per-
sons have a dozen or two of plants. but
no frame in which to place them. They
can, perhaps, find an old box or two
if bottomless they will be no worse
and get Il few large squares Of glass
for laying across the top, making them
secure in some way that will suggest
itself. They will then have Il miniature
cold frame that will answer the pur-
pose admirably of growing and prepar-
ing such plants for the winter that are
not too large for the little inclosure.
Failing even these simple but useful
contrivances, the pots may be stood on
window sills, or near to walls where Il
little shelter will be afforded from cold
winds and drenching rams; yet, Al
above mentioned, never stand the pots
on the bare earth, but always on a base

Blaine believes that the Democrats will norni
