HOWell's IneXperience.

While W. D. Howells was a young
man living in Columbus, and on the ed+
itorial force of the Ohio Stats Journal,
he wrote a poem which was published
in the Atlantic Monthly In due time
there came check in payment for the
poem, which was among the earliest lit Z
erary productions of Mr.. Howells, before
be had turned his thoughts toward the
field of prose fiction. The check was
highly priced in itself by the young poet
but did not fill the full measure of his
aspirations, for shortly afterward he de-
manded of an intimate friend, with much
but great earnestness:
Jim, when you have check for some
money, how do you get the cash for it ?''
The intricacies of this financial opera
tion being explained, the amount of the
check was deposited to his credit in the
bank. The money was not destined,
however, to form part of Mr. Howell's
ultimate estate, for shortly afterward he
again repaired somewhat embarrassed tc
his more practical friend, and asked, in
quandary:
Jim, when you have got some money
in the bank, how do you get it out agair
when you want itp"
Since that time Mr.. HOwells has haC
little difficulty either il getting money
into or out of the bank. N. Y. Tribune

e. II. COATES & Co., of Philadelphia,
are about to erect cotton spinning fac>
tory in Augusta, Ga, with capacity of
10000 spindles, which will be completed
this winter. This is practically re
moval of a portion Of the firms enter
prise from Philadelphia, which has been
determined upon because of the cheap
ness Of labor and motive power in the
Southern city. A member of the firm
says: "The very low wages paid in the
South is matter of considerable impor-
tance In the South days work means
twelve hours. The advantages of the
South are the cbeapness of labor, and
the fact that strikers are not as yet in
vogue there"

ASIDE from the principle that plus 0
equals 9, the main object of the Demo
Gratis in fighting to keep the four alleged
Senators from Hamilton county in the
seats Dan Dalton stole for them, and
thus retain control of the Senate, is to
prevent the repeal of the Cincinnati Po
lice Commission bill and other iniquitous
measures passed by the last General As
sembly. If Governor Foraker removes
the three Democratic Police Commis>
sioners from Office on the charges that
have been lodged with him it will take
the wind out of the Democratic Senators
and largely tend to put stop to their
disgraceful struggle against right and
iustice

WHERE THE TREATIES ARE
SIGNED.
The Historical Diplomatic Room in
the Department Of State.

On the main floor of the State Departs
ment is the Secretary's room. Opening
out of this on the east side is a small
aute-room, which leads into enc of the
most interesting chambers in the depart
ment. 1t is known as the Diplomatic
Reception Room, and in here are receiv-
ed the various Ministers who come to
see the Secretary on official business, and
where all treaties and conventions are
signed. 1t is room some 65 feet long
by 20 wide, lighted by six long windows,
from which fine view may be obtained
of the Potomac. The ceiling is divided
into arches, the eenters of which are
painted light gray color with broad
borders at each end. The floor is of
wood, highly polished and vanished,
two large Turkish rugs of red body
with blue borders nearly covering the
entire surface.
The general tone of the room is SUBJ
dued and harmonious, in keeping with
discuss weighty questions. The win
dows are shaded by white lace curtains
and hangings of grayish blue Turkish
material, with threads of gold running
through the fabric, and lambrequins to
match. at both ends of the room are
long ebony tables, covered with brown
felt. around which are low ebony arm
chairs, upholstered to match the cur
tains. Two sofas are against the wall,
facing the table, and between them is a
loEg mirror in an eboAy frame.
Opposite the mirror is low, elongated
settee, which stands on the bare boards.
At each end of the room is an ebony FIRE
place. Over the tables are elaborately
wrought nickel and brass chandeliers
with II lights, and in the center heav-
ier one with Is burners. On the walls
are portraits in oil of Webster, Lord
Ashburton, Washburn, Fish, Freling
huysen, Evarts, Jefferson, Seward, Blaine
and Washington.
Every treaty or convention to which
the United States has been party since
1875, has been signed in this room. On
the table nearest the Secretary's room
Grant signed the commercial treaty with
Mexico, and among some of the other
most important treaties duly ratified here
were the commercial and consular treat
les with Belgian, Italy, and the Neither
lands. Two important gatherings were
also held here. One was the Internss
tional Sanitary Conference and the other
the Time Meridian Congress.
Across the passage, in the Seventeenth
street corner of the building, is small
room with the inscription, Diplomatic
over the door. 1t is fur
nished in red leather and oak, and has
striking about it. Here the
first enter before pro-
ceeding to the reception room. In the
center stands reund oak table, which |
has historical value because on it was
signed the treaty of Washington in the
old State Department. - Washington

Killed by An Overdose.

PHLADELrmA, PA.-At an inquest held
over child, the jury found verdict that it
came to its death from an overdose Of cough
mixture containing opium; the coroner said
that nothing is more natural than for parents
when their children are suffering from coughs
and colds, to give them what they consider to
be harmless remedy; unfortunately, how
ever, he said, morphia or soTae other narcotic
has hitherto formed the basis Of all cough pre-

THE OUTLOOK IN CONGRESS-.

Foreshadowing the work of Congress du-
ring the present week, a Washington dis
patch of Sunday says:
The most important morning hour busi-
ness in the Senate during the week is likely
to be an attempt to pass the bill to quiet the
title of settlers upon Des Moines River
lands in Iowa over the Presidents veto,
and the consideration of the electoral count
bill. At . O'Clock each day the judiciary
committees resolution will be taken up.
The wide range taken by the debate in
the House Of Representatives last week on
the Indian appropriation bill prevented
final action upon it; but as the general dis
cussion is now limited to one hour, there is
no doubt it will be passed early in the pres
ent week. The next appropriation bill on
the Calendar is the postotfie appropriation
bill, which is likely to give rise to much
discussion and consume the remainder of
the week, exclusive Of morning hours.
After the call of the States on Monday
for the introduction of bills and resolutions,
the speaker will call the committees III
their order for motion to suspend the rules.
Owing to special orders on previous third
Mondays." "the monthly call has not been
made SO far during the session, and will
therefore begin with the first committee on
the list. the committee on elections. None
of the committees will have anything to
offer until the committee on banking and
currency is reached. The committee viii
move to suspend the rules and pass the Dill
to provide for the change of location and
increase of capital stock of national banks.
The debate on this measure will probably
not occupy the time allowed under the rule,
and when the next committee, coinage,
weights and measures, is called, Chairman
Bland will offer resolution to fix day
for the consideration of the silver q uestion
If the committee on commerce, which is
next on the list, is reached, Mr. Regan, un,
der instructions from the committee, will

Ellis were innocent of the crime for which
they suffered. For some time seven gentle
men have been employing a competent de-
tective to sift every theory and investigate
every clew. Their work has been crowned
with success, and it is claimed that the ar
rest of the real criminals will soon follow.
The evidence is said to be conclusive and
wills show that the triple murder was commit
ted early in the evening; that the perpetra-
tors went to the house by appointment with
one of the girls, who had previously been
on intimate terms with one Of them, and
that the triple murder followed the unin-
territorial killing of the boy for resisting the
assaults on the girls. The arrests would
have been made before but for the excited
state of public feeling here on the subject.

YORKVILLE. s. e. /:
THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH IS. 1885,
THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE.

AS was expected, the recent special mes
sage of the President to the Senate on the
question of the right of that body to de-
mand from the executive private papers,
has created debate of considerable inter-
est. Mr.. Edmunds, the acknoWlged Repub-
lican leader, opened the debate on Tuesday
of last week. His speech was expected to
be the big gun of the occasion, and in it all
Republican interest was centred. lie main
tained that the Senate not only has the
right to call for papers relating to suspen-
sions, but that Democratic judiciary COM
mittee, headed by A. G. Thurman, had
made similar request upon the Attorney
General IN 1879, in regard to the removal OF
a Territorial Judge. He said that under
the law the Attorney-General had perfect
right to make the removal, and that the
Democrats are now estOpped by precedents
of their own from contesting the right OF
the present judiciary to similar papers. Mr.
Edmunds presented no new points in sup
port of his position and his effort was gen.
orally regarded as a disappointment to his
political friends.
On Wednesday Senator Pugh, of Alabama,
replied to Edmunds, and on Thursday Sen
ator Wilson, of Iowa, addressed the Senate
in support Of the resolution demanding the
private papers in connection with Presiden-
tiaI nominations for Office. His speech was
in the line of argument that now for the
first time in the progress of this govern
ment it's executive power is being used as
means of assault on the character and repu-
tation of its citizens. He described the eX-
listing situation as curious political phe-
nomenon, the result of equally curious po-
litical evolution. He then attacked the
President upon the ground of Inconsistency
between his civil service reform utterances
and his actions.
But the mastery effort Of the discussion
was the speech of Senator kenna, of West
Virginia, on Friday, sustaining the course
of the President. He met the arguments
of the opposition with mastery vigor and
though but young man he proved himself
an orator and statesman of the first class.
Concluding his speech Senator Kenna said :
When President Cleveland assumed the
functions of the office Of Chief Executive OF
this Government, do not believe there is
a citizen in the land who had any reason
whatever to doubt that he came to the dis
charge of the duties of that high office de-
termined as far as in him lay, to devote him
self conscientiously to the discharge of such
duties, and this Senate may continue, as his
message indicates, to ply him and his vari-
Gus subordinate departments with harrass-
ing and embarrassing issues; it may defeat
every nomination that stands before it for
consideration; it may oppose any measure
arbitrarily or otherwise every prerogative
granted or not granted in the Constitution ;
but I mistake that man if he does not stand
to his post, mainain his duty under the
Constitution of his country, maintain every
prerogative in his high Office and transmit
it unimpaired, to his successor.
