rhe Western Telegraph Service.

WASHINGTON. Feb. J9.-Representa-
tive Anderson, of Kansas. addressed the
subcommittee Of the house committee on
postofices and postroads, in advocacy of
of a resolution introduced by him direct
ing the committee TO make a investigation
Of the manner in which the telegraph
lines of the Pacific railroad are operated
and ascertain whether additional legisla-
ton is necessary TO prevent a monopoly of
telegraph facilities in the Western and
Pacific states. Mr.. Anderson said that
the charters of the land grant railroads
require them to maintain and use the
telegraph line in the same sense that they
operate the railroad As 4 matter of fact,
he said, they have substantially leased
their telegraphic lines to the Western
Union Telegraph company.
After listening to Mr.. Anderson the
subcommittee agreed to report the resolu-
ton favorably and also to submit to TIE
full committee the question whether it
should or should net consider the PROPOSE
.tions before ii providing for a government
contract with the telegraph companies for
the transmission of kilograms. NN

Senator Bowen's Banking Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The bill intro
duced by Senator Bowen changing the
basis of banking circulation provides for
the retirement OF all national bank notes
and the substitution of United States
notes on the basis of silver and gold coin

ditional security. The free coinage of
silver is also provided Tor, and many
changes are proposed in existing laws con
corning national banks, including the
right on the part of banks to Withdraw
one-third in bonds upon substituting a
like amount in gold and silver in equal
proportions. The tax on circulation is to
be placed in the United States treasury as
a general safety fund for use in case of
failing hanks.

support a hundred rum-shops to one

His struggles only made the hen more
frantic. The hen took such revenge
for her lost chickens, that when the
cat was rele Ased from the bag, he ran
under the barn, where he remained the
rest Of the day, licking his swollen
face; Snooks gave the chickens . wide
berth after that He would sit afar Of,
watching the gambols of the feathered
tribe with mournful gaze which said:
''Chicken meat Is very nice, but the
fun isn't worth the pain"
Snooks grew to be quite an old cot,
though he never lost his playful ways.
After an honored and peaceful life, he
met . dreadful fate. One year the
parsonage was troubled with flies;
screens and hy.paper failed to keep
them out Of the house. so package Of
cobalt was bought, with strict In
functions to Sally, the cook, never to
take the dish containing 1t from the
high mantel where it was out Of the
reach Of little fingers But, alas, one
scrubbing day, before ahs children had
come from the nursery, Sally placed
the dish Of poison ON the table.
Snooks was thirsty, and, thinking the
dish held water, drank. In an agony
Of pain he rushed from the house.
Sally ran after him, in the hope of
catching him and administering some
thing to counteract the effects Of the
deadly poison. Snooks took refuge
under the barn In vain we called:
Kitty, kitty, kitty! o, Snooks, do
come outr' All was still. All day
we watched tearfully for him, but not
until the morning after was Snooks
found, stiff and cold, In the garden.
The children were inconsolable, and a
mournful procession attended the
burial in the corner of the garden,
where the remains of the dear de-
parted we're placed. A fiat stone
marks the spot. For long time after,
the tiny mound was covered with the
floral offerings the door-yard afforded,
as loving tribute to the memory Of
Snooks, THE Church Cat. ."-Lillian
