sixty days from the serving Of notice re-
quiring such removal.
Among the bills introduced and referred
was one by Mr.. Anderson, Of Iowa, pro-
viding for the control and regulation Of
railroads acquired by the United States
under judicial foreclosure or forfeiture.
This is the bill introduced by Mr. Ander-
son in April last. II is very long meas
ure aud Mr.. Anderson demanded its read
ing in full, in order TO consume time and
prevent us long rs possible the offering of
motion for the passage Of the Union Pa
cifc funding bill For an hour and a half
the reading clerk was uninterrupted in his
monotonous reading OF the bill, but at
1880 o'clock the proceedings were diversi-
fled by Mr.. Bland, OF Missouri, with mo-
ton TO adjourn, which was, however, de-
clared out Of order pending the reading,
and again the weary clerk resumed his
task.
Another interruption occurred shortly
afterward, when Mr. Belmont OF New
York, as q question Of privilege, presented
the conference report on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. Agreed TO.
MIR. Crisp, OF Georgia, submitted the
conference report on the bill authorizing
the Mississippi and Louisiana Railroad
company to construct a bridge across the
Mississippi river at hatcher, Miss, and IL
was agreed to.
Mr.. Forney, of Alabama, presented the
report OF the conferees on the Legislative
appropriation bill, and 1t was agreed to.
The clerk once more resumed the read
ing Of the Anderson bill.
Finally the reading was concluded, but
Mr. Anderson of Iowa, was on his feet,
and he Immediately introduced a bill TO
establish municipal code for the District
of Columbia-a volume Of 800 pages-and
called for Its reading.
Half an hour was then consumed in an
Intellectual effort TO break the deadlock
Mr.. Hatch, OF Missouri, said that II wa
perfectly evident that the reading OF the
bill would consume all the time up TO
o'clock, when the House would have e
adjourn under previous orders. In thu
interest OF the convenience Of member
and clerks he moved I'm adjournment, an,
at $40 the motion prevailed.

A Horse Car Conductors Ingenuity.

People who are so unfortunate as to be
compelled to use the horse cars in their
travels about the city have no doubt often
noticed the poor condition and generally
dilapidated appearance of the pockets Of g
conductors outer garment. Dipping the
hands in the pocket every few moments
for the purpose of making change for the
passengers or depositing therein the fare,
and occasionally warming their benumbed
fingers in them, does not tend to make
the pockets present a wholesome appear
ance, and the conductor who can show
one without being more or less frayed is
indeed scarce.
While riding in Flushing avenue car
one day was struck by the simple but in-
genious method 30 prevent this which the
conductor, who was evidently Of an inven-
tive turn of mind, had devised. The
pockets of his overcoat were lined inside
and outside with leather, slightly thicker
than that used in making kid gloves. II
was nicely stitched and, indeed, hardly
noticeable The conductor informed me
that outside OF preventing the loss OF
money through holes in the pockets il
made the burden Of his wife's life much
easier, obviating, as it does, the necessity
of sewing the torn and worn out pockets
so often. He had bethought himself OF
preventing it in this manner and had de-
vised the clever arrangement. 1t seems
to be big success.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

Geopraphies in Error.

There used to be a place called Pata-

now as ga drear and uninhabitable waste,
upon which herds of wild horses and
cattle Craze, that are hunted for their
flesh by few bands Of savage Indians Of
immense stature I am quoting from q
school book published in 1885, and in
common use in this country. The same
geography gives similar information about
''the Argentine Confederation. It makes
the Argentines roar with rage to call their
country ''the Argentine Confederation. !"
1t would be just as polite and proper to
call this the Confederate States of Amer
ica." A bitter, bloody war was fought to
wipe that name off the map, but our pub
fishers still insist upon keeping it there

Goodies of Health. "

In code of health, just published, is
this rule: ''Never begin journey until
the breakfast has been eaten" This is
suggestion to the suburban citizen to see
that kindling for the cook stove has been
prepared the night before, and that the
alarm clock in the kitchen girls bedroom
is in good order Another rule is: ''NeVer
take warm drinks and Immediately go out
into the cold.'' Therefore the coffee
should be taken cold; otherwise, sit
around the house after breakfast until
after train time. Still another rule IS:
CATER exercise of any kind, never sit
near the window of a car for moment"
There might be some difference whether
the window is opened or closed, but the
rule is imperative, and says violation IS
dangerous to health, or even life. 4"
Therefore, let your fat neighbOr take the
risks of the window seat, while you per-
use fine print by the light sifted through
him and his newspaper. Great things are
these ''codes of health!''-Cincinnati Com

PRICE 5 CENTS.
VIII 1888 be a Year of War;

The present year is the fifth year OF
modern times in which the aggregate OF
the figures is %, and there will be but
i've more years in which such cOmoina-
ton is possible prior to the year 2o9S.
Probably but few have ever heard OF the
old prophecy, which runs as follows:
In every future year Of our Lord,
When the SUN OF the figures Is twenty live,
Some warlike kingdom will draw the sword
But peaceful nations in peace will thrive.
Students of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which it applied.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden,
which inaugurated the great war that
ended in the disastrous defeat of Charles
XII at Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable
On account of the breaking out Of the
French revolution.
Seventeen hundred and ninety-eight
witnessed the Campo On Of Bonaparte In
Egypt and the formation Of the second
European coalition az inst France.
In 1879 war broke out between England
and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion
of the latter country by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is TO De
verified in 1888 remains yet to be seen, but
the present condition of Europe seems to
promise an abundant fullfillment Of the
prophecy. -Philadelph Inquirer.
