Senator Chandler manages to keep him
self prominently before the public He in
PRODUCES a good many bills and they are
generally Of character calling for com
menJ from the press Probably not one OF
them will become law, and in that event
no one will be less disappointed than the
Senator himself. He Ntks to make political
capital and his purpose is partially served
when he introduces them.
Suppose, in accordance with his wishes,
negro Acknowledgement should be made an
issue in the next Presidential contest would
the Senator's party derive any particular
benefit from it! Hardly. The Republi-
cans hope of success lies in carrying several
of the doubtful States-New Jersey,
New York, Indiana and Connec-
ticut-or, in taking several South
ern States from the Democratic
column. Can they do either on such an
i sues 1t was tried in 1884 and did not sue
ceed and the chances of its success are even
less now than then. They certainly could
not carry single Southern State, and prob
ably none of the doubtful States on that
issue. Very likely a bloody shirt campaign
would lose them votes in the doubtful States.
In tead Of helping his party he is seeking to
make an issue that would probably hurt it.
Senator Chambers latest resolution re-
lates to the Navy Department, and calls for
official information about the cost of plans
specifications, etc, of ships or engines re-
ceived from foreign countries, for facts re-
garding the changes made in original plans
Of several vessels designed and contracted for
by him while Secretary of the Navy, and for
contracts made since March 1, 1885 He will
hardly be able 10 make political capital out
of the information that he will receive, and
he must have been actuated by desire to
cast susp cion on the integrity and ability
of the administration in offering the resolu
ton. Secretary Whitcey has shown that
Senator Chandler, while at the head of the
Navy Department, mismanaged its affairs
and in time he will give the country a navy
of which it will have no cause to be
ashamed. Senator Chandler, no doubt, has
no friendly feeling for Mr.. Whitney, and if
he can pick flaw in his administration he
will not hesitate about doing it. He will
not be able to do so, however He is simply
wasting his time and the time of the Senate

81 am sorry cant accommodate you, sir, but
the 'frontals' are all loaned out. "
We'll, give NE d string Of vertebrae instead.
"In one moment, sir.
This short conversation occurred IN the ,'OOne
room" of the College of Physicians and Sur
geOnS. where a large number of disartculated
skeletons are kept and loaned ont to the students
in the same manner that books are lent from
circulating library. 1t is a novel institution.
The bones are numbered, labeled and placed in
order upon shelves around the room An at
tendaDt is always on hand acting in the same
capacity as a librarian.
It is his duty 10 keep track of the bones lent.
to enter them upon the books and to see that
they are returned uninjured During the day
scores of students flock in and out OF the place
carrying packages of strange appearance in
their hands or sticking out of their coat peck
cts. They contain human bones Of ali shapes
and sizes which they are returning to or taking
from the Bone Circulating Library. By this
means they are enabled 10 prosecute their
studies at home. Some of them may be seen
going through the streets carrying fragments
of skeletons uncovered in their hands Every
student is entitled to a complete skeleton after
having dissected an entire subject, but during
the prosecution OF his studies it is a great ad-
vantage to have separate bones to study, and
hence the establishment of the circulating SyS-
tenn.

Some of the churches in Chicago have
adopted a rule for late Corners which would be a
blessing in the theatres if it could only be en-
forced. After the sermon is begun the late ar
rival is quietly directed to a seat in the gallery

upStair seats after a certain hour may not make
as much money the first week he tries it. but in
the long run he will get the crowd and get it in
good season.

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. President of the
Fisheries Commission, has been the subject
of great deal of gossip but the fact that
he is widower has not received much at
tention until within the past few days,
when the rumor has been circulated that he
has fallen victim to the destinations of a
Washington young lady, the daughter of a
high official. If he shows the good sense of
asking an American girl TO he the third
Mrs. Chamberlain, the exalted estimate in
which he is held by the British government
will appear TO be not without reason.

Congressman w. c. P. Breckenridge who
was rendered an ovation on the occasion of
his tariff reform speech in Philadelphia
quence from both his mothers and his
fathers families. His mothers people. the
Prestons, of South Carolina and Kentucky,
were no less famous than were those of his
father, the Breckinridges and Cabells, of
Virginia and Kentucky. The Congressman
played no part in national politics until he
was elected to Congress in 1856, but at once
took place in the front rank not only of
the orators but of the legislators of the
House. He is 50 years old, his hair and
beard are white, aud in him are said to be
combined all the strength of character of
his father and the gentleness of his mother.
