SENSATIONAL ComEnlttee WORK.


WARRINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 15.-The
meeting of the house naval affairs COM
mittee took sensational turn to-day.
The Boutell resolution inquiring about
the dismissal of ex-union soldiers and
sailors from the Norfolk navy yard and
the appointment of confedefates In
their places. and as to the statement that
certain inscriptions commemorative of
victor es over the confederates have
been defaced, was called up and led TO 8
heated political discussion.
Mr.. Wise of Virginia made q speech
denouncing the resolution and impugn
ing the motives of its movers. He in
simulated that the resolution was intro
duced from q desire to make party capI-
tai, and expressed the opinion that 1t
should be amended so az to make gen.
ersl investigation Into the conduct of the
nsvy yards. He urged that mere news
paper report was the sole foundation for
the proposed inquiry, and that It was
not becoming the dignity of congress
men to heed such stories.
Mr.. BoutelIe vigorously defended the
resolution. He said he had been assured
by brother member that the publica
ton was substantially correct. He want.
ed the matter investigated.
Mr.. Thomas pointed out that the reso-
luton was not for investigation. II was
u simple inquiry, and If the story was
without foundation, the navy depar:
ment could easily prick the bubble.
Mr. McAdoO also contended that the
investigation should be general. Repub-
:iczns had been discharged from other
navy yards on the eastern coast, and why
not at Norfolk?
Mr.. Hewitt inquired if it would BE-
commended that the victors were net en-
titled to the spoils.
Mr.. Thomas acquiesced in that as
sumption. but SAID in the case under
consideration it was question not Oi
politics, not whether Republican had
been displaced by Democrat. but
whether the statute giving place tO
union soldiers had been violated He
wanted to know whether union soldiers
had been discharged to make place fol
rebel soldiers. and whether the memoir
ial stones concentrating union vic.
tories had been obliterated.
Hewitt inquired If the gentleman
would have tolerated confederate mon
ument concentrating the victory o.
Bull Run.
Mr.. Thomas replied that he would
have it pulled down. Fortunately The
rebels failed IN their object. He wal
not yet ashamed of having fought for the
union,
Other members of the committee ex
pressed themselves in strong language
| and the session ended without action OF
the resolution, which will cume up fol
consideration at the next meeting.

Remarkable Collection of Pictures.

The university of Pennsylvania has
just issued an important contribution to
science in the shape of a. remarkable ex-
hibit of photographs, showing animals of
almost every known variety, in the vari-
Gus stages of locomotion. The work was
undertaken about four years ago by a
well known California photographer, who
gave his time providing the university
would foot the other expenses. BY the
use OF O series of cameras brought to
bear upon the subject in quick succession,
the muscle movements of animals in
motion, and particularly of men in the
performance of feats of strength, are
brought out strongly. About every one
of the prominent pitchers in both the
League and American association have
been photographed in the act of pitching
and throwing the ball. In all 10000
photographs were taken, including one Of
John l.. Sullivan, the pugilist. In the
engravlngs made from the photographs
the faces OF the persons are not shown.
as nearly all the pictures were taken in
the nude, in order to show the muscle
and positions of the body at each success
stve motion. Before this work was under
taken it was not known Just what mo-
lions even so familiar an animal as q horse
made when in the act of running. The
work is valuable to the scientist. but
most so to the artist in teaching him cor

On His Brilliant Black Eve

Speaking of glass eyes," said an old
lawyer, "brings to mind little incident
that occurred in Chicago. Among our
young professional men is one whose
brilliant black eyes would attract atten-
ton anywhere. He goes much into So
ciety, and is quite a favorite among the
ladies because of his eyes. One of these
beautiful black eyes is glass, but it seems
so much the counterpart of the other
that not one person in a hundred would
detect its artificiality. Among the mem
bers of his profession not one knows that
the young man only has one good eye.
ION one occasion he escorted a young
lady To the refreshment tables and en-
tertained her with pleasant chat in way
that he thought was making a favorable
impression. AS they were taking ice
cream he looked up as she gave utterance
to some startling exclamation, and was
surprised to see her eyes fixed on him
with a look of mystified intentness and
horror. She was a well bred girl, but
something had so astounded her that she
continued to look at him in a way that
raised the question of his sanity. A fly
had lit square in the center of his bril-
liant black glass eye and remained
there, he, of course unconscious of it's
presence. The spectacle of that eye look
ing at her with a fly on it and the owner
making no attempt to brush 1t off was
too much for his companion. His ex-
PLANTATION, even, was not quite satisfac-
tory. She had believed so implicitly in
those magnificent dark eyes that she has
since that time regarded him as some
thing of fraud.-Inter Ocean Curb

Climbing up the stairs of an elevated
railroad station met Il prominent mem
her of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. In the car we talked about
safety appliances on railroads when he
remarked: 81 have been expecting for a
long time that there would be big smash
up on some one of the elevated roads
on account for the insufficiency of appli-
ances for stopping trains. I hold that all
railroad trains carrying passengers and
involving the personal safety of the travel
in G public should have double appliances
for stoppage, so that in case one appli-
ance gives out in an emergency the other
can be used. The elevated road engines
are equipped with brakes which are con-
trolled by vacuum. In the crowded con-
dition of travel, when trains are running
on short Roadway, the giving out of one
of these appliances on down grade
might send one train crashing into
another with fearful results. But if
there were an auxiliary brake to which
the engineer could turn in the event of
the first one getting Jut of order the pro-
lection would be as early perfect as hu-
man ingenuity could devise. New

How apt is our judgment of others to
be dependent, not Oh their worth, but
on our own mental process; and under
the consuming fire within poor Katy
Maria had forgotten for the nOncc that
Shakers do not lOvc-Shakers do not
''make up to one another"
The winter passed, the summer waned
and waned. No one wrought Mt house.
hold labor as did Katy Maria this
wretched summer, but the lightsOme
heart had gone out of her labor; she
worked but to drown thought-and of
her thoughts every one was of Stephen.
And Stephen! Went it better with
him? Planting or sowing, rcaping or
moving, not man could keep pace with
him. 1t began to be talked about among
the brethren that ''Stephen had tho
right stuff in him." Brother Elias and
Brother George, steadfast elders, took
note of him. Walking home from the
harvest field, they tarried little behind
the rest
"Ive been thinkin', brother George,
'twOuld be good idee to make Stephen
an elder. He's smart Teller, and we
hain't got much timber for elders among
us now; things amt MS they was when
we was young, and you and Inc amt
goin' to last always. George
Aud George said, .'Yee, Elias, Stephen
is constant believer. We've brought
him up under our own cye''
That evening Stephen was asked to
''step down to the pond to look ut bit
of fence that needed fixin'," and the
proposition laid before him. Stephen
fidgeted, and said "there want no hurry
about appointin' more elders. They was
a-goin' to last a good while yit he hoped"
They said, "Yee they hoped so, too;
but think about it, Stephen, think about
it," And Stephen replied, "Yee, he'd
turn the matter over" and they sepa-
rated.
Stephen walked slowly along ponder
ing the elders proposition-and shall
chronicle it? weighing it i'm the balance
with-life somewhere with Katy Maria,
until the mill lay between him and the
elders.
He looked furtively about him, and no
one being in sight, ut thought of settling
down in the eldership and giving up
Katy Maria he calculated the first and
last profane word his lips ever uttered,
Gossip
Stephen had learned it of the hired
man.
The autumn grew. The apples never
were so plentiful, necessitating the turn
ing out of all the hands to gather them.
The sisters picked up the apples, the
brethren carried the full baskets and
emptied them.
Katy Maria, in her unhappiness, was
unsocial, and went off by herself to pick
up the apples under tree at distance;
her basket filled, she called for some one
to come and empty it.
'What is to be will be-"
Elder George, in the innocence of his
unsuspecting heart, sent Stephen for the
basket.
Just how it all came about was never
known, but next morning it was mourn
fully whispered about that the young
couple had left the community.
When week later, letter came to
the elders telling them the truants were
married, elders and addresses all said:
"Well, Katy Maria's always been a
smart girl, and could turn her hand to
almost anything"
But think Brothers George and Elias
grieved most over the potential elder the
little community had lost-Olive Green

Childhood Among the Utes

The Ute papoose when quite young
Is placed in a buckskin or rawhide re-
ceptacle with straight board back. The
buckskin opens down the center of the
front The papOOse is placed in it, and
the edges of the buckskin are drawn
tightly together by buckskin thongs, as
you would lace a shoe. The child g
arms are piniOned down its side; no part
of the body can be moved except the
head, which can be rolled slightly from
side to side. Straps are attached to the
board to enable the squaw to sling it
across her back or hang it in the
branches of a tree. You very seldom hear
Ute papOOse cry. have seen the little
things standing up against tree in the
brOiling sun in one of these barbarOus
strait jacket receptacles. The flies were
crawling in and out the corners of its eye
and mouth, great tears were chasing
each other down its cheeks, but not q
whimper nor sound was heard.
They are kept laced up in this way, ex-
cept at short intervals, until they are
large enough to learn to walk. They are
taught to ride horse almost before they
begin to walk, and it is curious to see the
little things, often three or four on one
horse, and clinging to his hack and to
each other with the tenacity of monkeys.
The children of 5years old and mp are
often bedecked with war paint and bead
and silver ornaments until they are
scarcely recognizable. Great silver rings
are suspended from their ears, silver
plates three ana four inches in diameter
hang upon the breast. Three, four, and
sometimes five pairs of silver bracelets,
of Navajo designs, adorn the arms.
Beaded buckskin moccasins, q bright
little Navajo blanket, otter skin trim
mings in the hair, rings upon the fingers,
brass or silver armlet above the elbow,
and several necklaces of beads, VOLTS
teeth, etc, a bl,ckskin belt five inches in
width and gorgeously worked with
beads, and you have Ute child dressed
and ornamented according to the fond
parents idea of artistic taste.-Colorado

An Accommodating Guest.

Early life in California hotels must
have been pleasant, as the landlords were
very odd characters. 1t was customary,
says a writer, for boarders to settle their
accounts yearly. At one hotel the land
lord once became in need of funds and one
of his guests offered to give him some
thing on account. NO." said the host,
"your bill is not due till the end of the
year, of which seven months have
passed." At last the matter was COM
promised by the debtor loaning the
money, for which the conscientious host
gave his note.-Chicago Times

A SONG OF REST.

o weary handsi that, oil the day,
We're set to labor hard and long,
Now softly fall the shadows gray,
The bells are rung for even song.
An hour ago the golden sun
Sank slowly down into the west;
Poor weary hands, your toll is done;
'Tis time for restl-'tis time for resti
o weary feet! that many q mile
Have tr,ldged along the stony WY,
At last ye reach the trysting stile;
No longer fear to 60 astray.
The gently bending, rustling trees
Rock the young birds within the nest,
And softly sing tho quiet breeze:
IT'S time for results time for resti''
o weary eyes! from which the tears
Fell many time like thunder rain
o weary heart! that through the years
Beat with such bitter, restless pain,
Tonight forget the stormy strife.
And know what Heaven shall send is best
Lay down the tangled web of life;
IT'S time for rest tits time for rest!
