this duty at your own ward, saddle
your horse and off for Opelousas and
register and vote whether you vote for
division or against, an opponent You
must be or friend, for indifference and
staying away from the polls .,ing to
be neut'al is the meanest aud most
reasonable opposition upon the part Of

no neutrality. That is exactly our
hand; let everybody vote, that there
may be real test. The matter should

A REMARKABLE STORY.
Queer Developments I'm RO Rmbez-
cement Trial Rt Boston.

Boston, MASS, May 26.-Mrs. Mary
T.. Green, a buxom, good looking
Young woman OF refined manners, was
on trial before the Superior Criminal
Court to-day charged with embezzling
$4,000 from her mother. Mrs. Mary
Cunningham OF Portsmouth, N. H.,
the mother, had $4,000 in a Portsmouth
savings bank. This the daughter in
duted her to draw out, and she then
deposited it 10 the Provident Institu-
ton for Savings, Bo' ton, in her own
name. 1t was said that the younger
Mary then gave the elder Mary false
book, and, retaining the genuine book
herself, drew out the money from
time to time, appropiiating it TO her
own use.
On the stand this afternoon the
daughter told a remarkable story in
justification Of her conduct, in which
she was corioborated by Mary T.. Col.
Inns, who lived in the family. The
daughter said that 81 q had loved and
married man named Green, who was
so distasteful 10 her parents, especially
her father, that she never dared bring
him TO the house during the ourtship
nor to acknowledge him after mar
riage. In order to keep up this very
elaborate deception OF pretending to
be an unde,aChed daughter at home
when she was really a married woman
with home elsewhere, she had re.
course 10 en- ingenious myth, and like
Mrs. Camp, with immortal Mira. Har-
RE, invented a fictitious parsonage to
help her out. Whenever she was in
reality with her husband, which she
managed to be great deal OF the time,
she caused 1t to be supposed at home
that she was with Mrs, Person. This
convenient but intangible lady came
in time to a sumo an unpleasant indi-
viduality. She was greatly interested
in many, and she was als) wealthy.
Hence the parents felt it no
more than just that she should re-
ward Mays phenomenal devotion to
her in some substantial manner. HAY
ing fallen into this trap in the first
place Mary averred that in order to
preserve the deception ii was neces-
gary 10 pay literally. The old gentle
man never failed to demand the
money she had received from Mrs.
PieIson during the day, and she often
paid him as much as 40 per day out
Of her own savinge, which was cred.
tied in the family circle to the gen
erosity OF the aforesaid Mrs, Pierson.
In this way, in the course of three
years, Mary estimates that she has
paid to her parents out OF her own
money $1,000 Finding this an OK.
pensiye sort of deception, abe CON
ceived and executed ttfl another
move, namely, the savings bank trans
ler' as a means Of balancing matters.
No verdict WIS reached.

On motion of Mr.. Morrison TILL II
was ordered that when the House adj
| journs tomorrow it is 10 be to meet or
next Tue day.
The Senate resolutions relative Ia
the death of John f. Miller, late 9
Senator from California, having been
laid before the House, Mr.. Morrow
Cal. gave notice that he would call
them up for action on Saturday, June
18th.
Private business having been dis
pensed with, the House went into
committee of the whole (Mr. Springer
I'LL in the chair on the oeomarga-
rIne bill, the pending amendment be-
ing that offered by Mr.. Daniel Va.
reducing the special tax on retail deal
era from S4S to $25.
Mr.. Van Shsak Wis. presented
protest from the Executive Board OF
the Knights OF Labor OF Milwaukee
against the passage of the bill.
Mr.. Gibson w. Val regarded the
whole bill as fraud, and all amend
ments IS simply aiding to carry out
that fraud.
Mr.. Hammond [Ga moved tostrike
out the provis on that in case any
manufacturer of oleomargarins com.
menCes business subse quent to June
30th, in any yeGr, the special tax
shall bs reckoned from July let, and
shall be $500.
Mr.. HiscoCk IN. Y. said that all the
inventive genius and filibuetering OF
the bull-butter men, the hog-fat but
ter men, the soap grease butter men,
could not drive the farmer out of
court The agricultural and dairyman
was here, and as he (Mr. Hiscock)
hoped and trusted, to stay until we
bad action on this bill,
Mr.. Breckinrid9e XVI sug sested
that the advocates of this bill were
performing in view of the people !ccss
the purpose of gaining votes, but he
was willing 10 wait and see whether
they would receive the applause of the
pit. He desired to ask the gentleman
in charge Of the bill what amount OF
money it would take to put the plant
in operation.
Mr.. Hatch said he had information
from the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue that not dollar of appro-
priation was necessary to carry the act
into execution.
The motion to strike out the proviso
was lest.
Mr.. Towaehend [nl.1 said that he
had STOOD by the bill, and would con.
tiN9e to stand by 1t, but he thought 1t
ought to be amended by reducing the
rate of taxation TO 2 cents a pound.
Mr.. Warner Mo- regarded it as
great compliment TO his State that the
leader of the Republican side (Mr.
Hiscock) only awaited the nod OF the
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. HATCH
to say how he would vote.
Mr.. McMtiin Tenn taid that
sgainst the bill in its present shape
he must record his vote. One of the
most Objectionable features of the
measure was that prescribing a PEN
atty upon any person purchasing oleo-
margarine from manufacturer who
has not paid the present tax.
Debate continued at great length,
and number OF amendments were
offered only to be voted down. The
committee finally rose without taking
any action, and the Speaker laid be.
| fore the House several veto messages
on private pension bills, and they
were referred 10 the Committee on In
valid Pensions.
The House then took recess until
8 O'Clock, the evening session to be for
the consideration of pension bills,
