The tariff debate in the house took a
somewhat acrimonious turn to-day. Mr..
Wilson Of West Virginia said in ccnclu-

from ocean to ocean until we secure justice
and fair dealing among all citizens. You
may strike down that tribune of people at
the other end of the avenue, who, putting
aside all ideas of prudence, spoke out that
ringing summons that rallied the people
as nothing else ever did. You may strike
down the leaders of this fight as you struck
them down in the last congress and the
previous congress. Those who hold the
standard may fall, but other hands will
take it up and move forward. The spirit
Of our intelligence is behind us. The spirit
of liberty is behind us. All we can hope
for the destiny and greatness of this
country urges us forward" AS Mr.. Will

plauded by his party friends, while many

amid cries of avote'' the members crowded

COOTa WAS FOOLED.

In the basement of Police Headquar-
ters is room where the officers in charge
of the patrol wagon lounge about
while waiting for signal. To while
away the time table and box of domi.
noes have been procured. Last evening
Bob Schemansky, Mike Kinney, Rounde-
man Shoemaker and Pat Murnane were
playing dominoes and Ben Coots was
looking on. Coots became 80 deeply
interested in the game, and 30 excited
over the playing that he soon dropped
asleep.
"Now let us pay Coots off for that
beastly dream he had when he took gas
to have his tooth pulled" said Scheman-
sky.
The plan was soon perfected. Reach
ing up, Murnane turned out the gas.
Then the game, to all intents, went on As
before The room was in pitch darkness,
but the dominoes were shuffied, each
player drew five, one set and the play
went on.
Double five; count ten"
give or nothing, eh? That sends me
to the woodpile.
"Five, blank; give us ten"
Somebody purposely trod on Coots'
toe, and he awaked with snort, rubbing
his eyes. The game went on.

"Throw me bone there"
Fifteen and Eve; give us twenty"

Coots was lifted bodily before he had
time to object, bent over the table and
Murnaue began making magnetic passes
over his eyes. Schemansky reached
up and slyly lit the gas.
"Oh, I begin to see, / begin to see {"
exclaimed the patrol driver.

Maggie was born IN Trenton N. j., and
since she was II years old has never be-
fore been outside of that city. She was
never on exhibition before, and her fam
lily were opposed to her engagement.
Maggie thought she should do something
for herself, and her family finally con.
sented. Aspecial car had been chartered
in Trenton, but it was found that Maggie
was too big to pass through the door.
Fully 1000 people accompanied Maggie
to the depot to see her of, and every one
had some way to suggest to get her into
the car. The museum agent glanced At
his watch and found that he had but q
few minutes to spare. He held q consul
tation with Station Agent Oliver and
Baggage Master jenkins, and . smile
spread over his face. After whispering q
few words to Maggies's mother and sister
he rushed to the telegraph Office. In a
few minutes one of the new Eastlake cars
was backed up to the platform. Maggie
looked at the platform and said with q
Taught:

A car belonging to the Adams Express
Company was quickly attached, and q
stage composed of boxes and trucks was
built to make an easy ascent. A carpen-
ter sawed three-inch plank in two and
made seat for the gigantic woman. All
this time the crowd cheered and guyed
the railroad men. Maggie watched the
preparations with interest, and laughed
at the nervous way in which the officials
worked. When the staging was compile.
ted she walked through the side door and
into the baggage-car and sat on the rough
seat
Don't you think I might sqeeze through
the end door if l went through sideways?'
she asked the agent.
~ wish you could " he replied. "Won't
you please try it ?"
After several attempts she managed to
get into the passenger car. Two seats
were taken up by her, and she complained
of being cramped. When the train ar
rived at the Broad street station in Phila
delphia, there was big crowd to receive
her. After considerable difficulty che

walked to the baggage elevator
She was taken to the market street en-
trance, where large furniture van was
waiting to receive her. She was assisted
to her chair in the van, and taken to bel
boarding house opposite the museum.
Maggie weighs 9e7 pounds, and is five
feet four and three quarter inches il

inches in circumference, and her arm
hirty-eight inches. She sits in a chair
made especially for her, and is accompa
