NOMINEES TO BE LIEF THROUGH. The Senate Will Allow the Cenhrna-

 WASHINGTON: Jan i7-There have been no developments since the Republican sena. torial caucus in regard to the proposed de- mand of the upper house on the President for the causes which prompted the removal of several federal officers. The indications are that the Senate will proceed with the confirmation of noinipations and that but comparatively few cases will be held up. It is probable that the Committee on Postof- fees and Post Roads will ask the Senate for additional assistance in order that the vast number of nominations of postmas- ters may be passed upon, the regular mem- bers of the committee being unable to han dle them all with any degree of prompt ness
 "Legislation is too much in an embryo state to give one any latitude for prediction" said Speaker Carlisle to a representative of the United Press tonight. 'There is noth- "but the regular order: To-rf1otrow the States will be called for the introduction of bills, after which it will be in order for com mtttees to move to suspend the rules for consideration of measures they may want to call up. Each committee can have the rules suspended for one bill. l do not know, however, that any one of the committees desire to sus- pend the rules as there is nothing on my desk now. Beyond this, it cannot be pre- dieted what work the House will do during the week. t'

Young Lady Betrayed And Eeserted
 In A Strange C3tJs
 PALESTINE, Texas, Jan. 17.-A cruel case of desertion has just come to light to-day. Virginia Mason, Beautiful girl, twenty three years of age, was adjudged insane Ill the county court here yesterday. This unfor- tunate girl has had terrible experience. She loved well, but not wisely, and was basely betrayed by one who had won her affections and promised to make her his bride. After accomplishing her ruin he deserted her. The knowledge of her misfortune be- coming known to her family, who reside hear Murfreeshore, Tenn, she was taken in charge by an elderly brother and brought to this city in September last, and left in a boarding house two months ago. She be- came the mother of an illegitimate child two days afterward. She was turned adrift in the street. She appeared at the Information al Hotel with the babe in her arms and her reason dethroned. The kind hearted propri- etor of the hotel gave her shelter and food He repeatedly wrote her relatives in Tennes- see and i1nplored them to come to the relief of their unfortunate relative, but to all his appeals he received no answer. Feeling that he had done his duty, and as Miss Mason was becoming violent, yes terday he placed her in charge of the county authorities and she will be sent to the insane asylum at Terrell.
 Miss Mason in her lucid moments claims to have property and an interest in an estate near Murfreesboro, Tenn, and that bringing Der to Texas and deserting Ter without funds to return is base conspifacy to defraud her cut of her property. In her bearing and ac- tions Miss Mason gives unmistakable evil dence of culture and good breeding, indieat- ing clearly that her family is of prominence and wealth in Tennessee.

SERMON BY INGERsOLL.

What M ,ster of Rhetoric Thinks
 the Genius is Somewhat Like. Robert G. Ingersoll in North American Review
 The man of imagination-that is to say, of genius-having seen leaf and a drop of water, can construct the forests, the rivers and the seas. In his presence all the cataracts fall and foam, the mists rise, the clouds form and float.
 To really know one fact is to know it's kin dred and it's neighbors. Shakespeare, look ing at 8 coat of mail, instantly imagined the society, the conditions that produced it and what it produced. He saw the castle, the moat, the drawbridge, the lady in the tower and the knightly lover spurring over the plain He saw the bold baron and the rude retainer the trampled serf and all the glory and the grief of feudal life.
 The man of imagination has lived the life of all people, of all races. He was citizen of Athens in the days of Pericles; listened tc the eager eloquence of the great orator, and sat upon the cliff, and with the tragic poet heard "the multitudinous laughter of ths sea-" He saw Socrates thrust the spear ot question through the shield and heart ei

The Strange Experience of a Young
 Lad fn North Carolina.
 RALEIGH, N. O., Jan. 17.-A considerable sensation has been created by the revelation of an alleged divine call of a Wake county youth, John B. Sturdivant, to preach the gospel. He has hundreds of believers. On Thursday night two prominent men of Raleigh one the principal of Sunday school, the other for years a teacher in State institu- tion for deaf and dumb and blind, went out to Auburn to sse sturdivant and hear him preach. As many persona as could get in the house were present. The boy lay upon a bed on his right side with his eyes wide open and spoke for an hour and quarter, using vigorous and graceful language. He stated that he was addressing an audience of eight thousand people. His voice could be heard 8 great distance. He was stricken with blindness Wednesday. He said that God told him that at certain hour his sight would be restored, and So it was.
 The teacher from the deaf, dumb and blind institution and physician of the neighbor hood say the boy was certainly totally blind during the period from Wednesday night at 1O U CHUCK aHu yesterday alIeTnooH at CJ and that in their presence and that of about one hundred and fifty people his sight was res tored. All day yesterday the boy was led about the house. Just before 5 o'clock he took a position in front of the fire in a large room crowded with people. The boy's father and the teacher referred to steod near. Punctually at five the boy raised his head and lowered it again and cried aloud, ''I can see." The people were greatly excited He walked through the house shaking hands with nearly all those present. The boy is sixteen years of age, weighs 40 pounds and is very strong. Three years ago he had strange affection, caused by spinal disease.
 His father states thet one night while a boy was in violent fit four sttong. men were attempting to hold him, but he forced them aside and went to the organ and played three hymns in excellent style, though before he was unable to do so As he played the last hymn he made profession of religion and then calmly laid down. Since that time he has never had another attack and has been in excellent health. His case has strange aspects. The boy says if the divine origin of his blindness and recovery of sight is not believed by the people other and even more convincing signs will be af forded.

1 fsisehood: was present when the great man drank heia1oek and met the night of death tranquil as a star meets mo1 ming. He has followed the peripatetic philosophers, and has been puzzled by the sophists. He has watched Phidias as he chiselsd shapeless stone to forms of love and awe. He has lived by the slow Nile amid the vast and. tnonstrot,s He knows the very thought that wrought the form and features of the Sphinx. He has heard great Memnon's morning song-has lain down with the em- ba1med and waiting dead and felt within their dust the expectation of another life mingled with cold and suffoeating doubts the children born of long day.
 He has walked the ways of mighty Rome, has seen greet Caesar with his legions in the field, has stood with vest motley throngs and watched the triumphs given tc victorious tured hosts and all the spells of ruthless war. He has heard the shout that shook the Coli seum's reoaess walls when from the reeling gladiator's hand the short sword fell, while from his bosom eushed the stream of wasted life.
 He has lived the life of savage men, has trod the forests silent depths, and in the des- perate game of life or death has matched his thought against the instinct Of the beast.
 He knows all crimes and all regrets, sll Tir- tues and their rich rewards. He has been victim and victor, pursuer and pursued, out.
 
 curses of the world, and on his heart have fallen all the nights and moons of failure and success.
 He knows the unspoken thoughts, the dumb desires, the wante cnd ways of beasts He has felt the crouching tigers thrill, the terror of the ambushed prey, and with the eagles he has shared the ecstasy of flight and poise of swoop; and he has lain with sluggish serpehts tn the barren rocks uncoiling in the heat of noon.
 He has sat beneath the bo trees eontern- plative shade rapt in Buddha's mighty thought, and he has dre9med all dreams that Light, ,alchemist, hath wrought from dust and dew and stored within the slumbrous poppy's subtle blood.
 The imagination hath a stage within the brain, whereon he sets all scenes that lie be tween the morn of laughter and the night of tears, and where his players body forth the false and true, the joys and griefs, the care less shallows and the tragic 5eeps of every

 HARTFORD, Jan. 17.-A few days ago Rev. John c. Kimball, pastor of the Pratt street Unity church, invited the Salvation army to hold services in the church Sunday evening. This did not meet with the approval of the trustees and tonight, when Mr. Kimball, the army and large congregation of people went to the church, they found the doors locked. While MT. Kimball was hunting up key the reople stood about the church shivering in the cold. The minister finally procured key and opened the doors and the army and people began to flock inside. It was then discovered that the trustees had shut off the meter. As the minister could get no key to the cellar of the church services could not be held. My. Kimban then made

From this the speaker showed that there must be 8 power shaping the lives of humanity. There will be prayer meetings at the church on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. The third and last discussion of this subject will be given next Sunday evening, the head ing being divine power.
