the first time he called to his mind the fac that he had left his annual pass over that road in his room at Springfield. Approach ing the conductor, he introduced himself and told the circumstances, said that all the old conductors knew him and he never had to show his pass to them, 50 he had been careless about it.
 eI have no doubt it is all right" said the conductor, "but I cannot carry you" "my wife is very i'll. must go home on this train"
 "I am sorry," replied the conductor, "but I cannot carry you"
 'sIs there nybody around here authorized to issue passiAnybody who can or will give me one."
 The conductor knew of nobody around the depot who had that authority.
 'Well," said the lobbyist in despair, "I shall have to drive out there, and don't know the road, and it will take me all night anyway"
 The conductor was at last touched by the lobbyists predicameat, and said:
 ''I can't carry you for nothing, but will advance the money to you if"
 "Thunder and lightniDg" exclaimed the lobbyist smiling all over, "I've got thous- and dollars right here in my pocket" and he ran off to buy 8 ticket. When he came back he said:
 "Conductor, if you hadn't mentioned money should never have thought of paying my fare I had forgotten that could travel on anything but a pass"
 Ills fare was $1.10.

bishops lately in conference to send copy of the enoyclical letter issued by the confer ence. The letter was to the effect that the authorities of the various branches of the Anglican communion hold themselves in readiness to enter into fraternal conference with the representatives of the other Chris tian communions in the English speaking races, in order to consider what steps could be taken, either toward corporate reunion or toward such relations as might preface the way for fuller organic unity hereafter. To this Principal Dykes of the Synod sent re- ply, in which he said that he would bring the matter to the notice of the church which he represented. The Synod approved of this course, and deferred any action in the matter in the mean time.
 Several amendents to the new ballot law in Massachusetts have been reported to the State senate. One of them provides that the special ballots for the use of women voters for school committee shall be printed upon tinted paper, in order that they may be easi. ly distinguished from the general ballots. Another amendment provides that the street and number of candidates reside nee shall be printed only in the case of candidates for city offices, instead of, as now, in the case of all candidates. Section 12 of the act is so amended that the interval before an election within which registrars of voters are to make return to the secretary of the common wealth of the number of registered voters is changed from fourteen days" to ''such time as he (the secretary shall require" The clause requiring like return of registered women voters Is stricken out. Section 21 is so amended as to require the provision of not less than five compartments in each vot- ing precinct of the oity instead of ''not less than ten." Section 27 is amended to pro- hibit any voter from putting distinguish ing mark upon his ballot

THE NEW YORK LEGIsLATURE.

 Connecticut has perhaps a weak legisla- lature this year, but we do not believe it is as wicked as some disappointed and defeated lobbyists saying. But New York has had legislature which seems to be more wicked than weak. The most striking of it's performances is perhaps that connected with what is known as ''the Capitol Ceiling scan dal"
 The ceiling which was the foundation for the scandal was constructed under the super vision of committee of the legislature. The men composing the committee were promi- nent leaders of both parties in the assembly, Speaker Cole was one of them. Assembly man Sheehan, the Democratic leader of the assembly and the piiant instrument of Gov ernor Hill, was another. An attempt was evidently made in the beginning to divide the responsibility. The work was placed un- der the nominal supervision of one Andrews, a Hill tool and the superintendent of public buildings. The job was given to two noto- rious Albany contractors. When an investi- gation became necessary the Speaker, who was implicated, appointed Investigating committee, of which Mir. Ainsworth, also im- pllCaC0Q, WAS cQa1T1Qdn. Aln6WOrGQ 6QOeaF- ored to prevent any investigation. The re- port of the committee was so manifestly an outrage upon honesty that something else had to be done to allay public indignation. Another committee, of which Hamilton Fish, jr., was chairman, was appointed. This committee made Andrews and the contrac- tors responsible for the theft. But when 1t came to the house the report of the Ains- worth committee was accepted and that of the Fish committee rejected. And finally, in the closing hours of the house, when the most outrageous bills were being hurried through, bill was passed in the coolest fashion possible, actually authorizing the ceiling gang to get all the money they ever claimed in addition to what had previ- ously been paid. Instead of requiring the contractors and the political leaders to re- fund the money they had stolen the legisla~ ture, by virtue of 8 mutual agreement be- tween parties, passed bill which not only enabled the thieves to keep all they had stolen but authorized them to steal S372, 1000 more.
 The New York legislature has done other things which entitle it to shame, but its action in the ceiling matter Is alone enough to give it a lasting reputation.

vANDERRTLT,s KITCHEN.

Where a sIO,GoO Chef Prepares the
 Food in Sflver-Lined Cooking Utensils.
 From the New York Letter to Philadelphia Press
 Mir. w K Vanderbilt's chef has had such
 renowa that the temple in which he moves
 and the altar at which he oficiates must be
 of interest. Both are worth his cost to i'm
 port and worthy his talents. MT. Wander
 bilt's kitchen is really very beautiful to the
 eye. The floor is of marble, the shelves, the
 tables, the sinks, all the things that are rare-
 ly moved are of marble and cut with the pre-
 cision of jewels. The walls are lined with cream enameled tiles and all the angles are covered with brass moldings. Where these meet the doors and windows they are covered with these metal mouldings, dispensing even with wooden trim. The ceiling is made of white enamelled tiles set in cement. But one does not imperil the head of 6 SIG, 900 cook with loosely set brick, SO each tile is also secured with raised metal | bolts.
 l Accenting all this gleam of white and met | al is the large double range. It is set in | one corner under large semicircular hood l enriched with embossed copper ornaments I and swung from iron bars wrought in spirals | and foliations. This hood is so powerful an agent in carrying off the odor and greasy steam that 1t will wait froa the hand 8 news paper held under it.
 The cooking utensils are in keeping with l all this splendor. They of copper, with | wrought-iron handles, many of them orna- l mented, and some of them have been copied I from special pieces in the Cluny and other museums. Luxurious cooking untensils l indeed the thing of the moment, and we'd
 ding present not disdaiaed is 6 set of copper l silver-lined, such are now displayed among
 gems and gold st the jewellers. Leading from the kitchen to the buffers pantry are spira! stairs entirely inclosed in glass to shut out possible odor, yet retain the light. And this is 80 successfully done that, although the kitchen is directly below the dining room
 and buffers pantry, nothing disagreeable makes It's way aloft.
 Before referring to au other attachment of
 this kitchen. allusion should be made to the
 drains and hose outlet in the centre of the
 marble floor, for 1t is by hose which may play fearlessly in any part of room that the l kitchen is kept clean. Connected with 0ae kitchen, and built under the sidewalk, is series of vaults. These are for ice, meat,
 vegetables, milk and eggs. and are built in three sections of hollow masonry, that they
 may be kept free from damp, and have per feet ventilation. The heavier articles, such as ice and meat, are put in through the sides walk with derrick and hoist, which relieves the kitchen of good deal of unpleasantness, as every housekeeper may imagine.

LEADERS OF THE KEICHsTAG.
PicturesQue Group o6 Statesmen.


 A contributor to '.L'IlIustrationn has re- gently in 6 series of articles given an inter esting account of the interior of the Germ an Parliament. Speaking of it's general appear ance, he says, in moderately sized room are gathered specimens of all the various races of Great Germany; the Bavarians and the monumental Rhinelauders with boards Ia Lohengric; the purebred Pruesisns, squat and snug like Richter, who keep by them selves, and pass without lookin2j either to right or to left; tine gentleman from Silesia, big and bony, with blazing red beard and the air of an aldermanie captain of militia, or of an English yeoman, foe of foxes, and officer of volunteers. There Is no lack of uniforms in the group, and no lack of over- coats folded and held on the arm-overcoats bourgeois, bureaucratic and professorial. Still more numerous are the collarless eccles- iastical coats worn alike by Protestant pas- pastors and members of the Catholic Centre. The msnb bers for the conquered provinces are conspicuous spots in this crowd. Anto- inc, despite his great military mustachios, would not be taken by the greenest or most short-siSh hted reporter for capt.iu of the Landwehr, aud the Parisian vest of young Baron Zorn of Bulach is iu sharp contrast with that of his brother sportsmen of Bran- denburg or sthe Vielle- -Marche.
 The personal portraits are all exceedingly good though there is nothing new said about Prince Bismarck and others, who have been described ad nauseaIn. But the following description of Herr Windthorst is clever and life-like: The figure of gnoms, the long neck of child, gres. blue specta- cles which shelter the remains of used-up eyes, 8 large mouth with satrical twist. Such is Herr Windthorst, the pearl of his party, the most redoubtabie Parliamentary taetician, the only adversary Prince Bis marck has been unable to overcome, and with whom he has often had to treat on equal terms. He is not thunderbolt of elequence. From his toothless gums comes a feeble voice, which would not be able to travel past the tribune or the bench from would not be able to travel past the tribune or the bench from which he speaks, were 1t not that the unsuitable curiosity which this resourceful spirit provokes establishes in the assembly perfect silence as soon as he aris- es. The skill and irony which at each step shine in his oratory make every one forget that this thickset little man, with his wood -en voice and monotonous gesture, Is the very opposite of all orator. It is his mind which has held together for eighteen years without visible change, and even after the religious peace, that paradoxical Catholic party built of clements so heterogeneous-great Conser- vative and feudal lords, little clergy with democratic tendencies, and Socialists.

THE EAGLE AGAINST THE TIGER.
Experience of Yankee at Monte
 Carlo.


 From the Liverpool Post.
 I entered the gaming saloon immediately after gentleman who had the air of Yam kee, and was no little surprised to notice an official, in swell uniform, approach the American, and, with shrug of the shoul- 6ers in pure French style, intimate that yis- itors are not allowed to wear their hats whilst within the precincts of that sacred room Of course the "wide awake" was inn mediately put into place for safe keeping. From this little incident the Yankee was very much observed but in the course of thirty minutes he became quite hero. He soon approached the roulette table and ob- served the play very closely, but apparently could not make up his mind for venture; and in succession he made tour of all the roulette tables, but did not stake even a five franc piece, which is the smallest coin ac- cepted Finally he had his attention quite riyetted to the gaming table where "Trente ct Ouarante" is the order of the day. This game is worked by distribution of ordinary playing cards Here the minimum stake is Napoleon, and piles of gold are laid all over the table. Our Yankee friend inquired the highest stake the croupier would allow to be placed on the table, and was informal by gentleman standing close to him that the amount was nearly equal to five hundred pounds in English money. l may here re- mark that at this game no odds are given;
 
 staked-of course in addition to the money ventured. ''Well," said our Yankee visi- tor, q guess I'll go for the swag;" and go he did, and, to the amazement of the en- tire company, he came off 8 winner. The first winnings were coolly placed in his pocket, leaving his first stake on the table for another venture. The cards were again dealt out, and again he was on the suc- cessful color. Once more the winnings were placed in safe keeping.
 By this time the American was man to be envied, and others followed his example. The third venture had an immense pile of notes and gold on the same color that the man from the new world had been 50 lucky with; and again it proved the trump card, and much to the amazement of players in other parts of the room, a hearty cheer greeted this announcement, and the "bank" was broken. But those who are acquaint- | ed with Monte Carlo will know that the breaking of the bank is only of short du- | ration-viz., whilst the croupier goes to \ headquarters for another supply of the "ready." On the creupier's return down went the Yankee again and again, until he had made hazards ten times, and each time to the fullest extent allowed by the rules of the establishment; and his extraordinary run of fortune made him the winner each

PRINCESS OF WALES TOILET.

Her Daughter Soon to sCOme Out.o
 From The Londen Star
 It takes the Princess of Wales two hours to dress every day. Despite her increase in years, there are courtiers who declare that she looks handsomer than when she first ar- rived in England, and they take as the req son the fact that the style of dress suits her so much better than what is now considered the dowdy dress of 8 quarter of 8 century ago. Nobody knows where the Princess gets her gowns from. It is generally supposed that her maid makes them from patterns supplied. However, the Princess cannot pose as leader of fashion except to women of certain age. For instance, she cannot wear the gaudy flower Drowned hats that are coming into season this spring. and yet these nevertheless. Who makes those pretty fringesa Some say that her barber shifts his lodgings every week. Others declare that this nairdresser supplies the material, and that maid makes it up.
 4 'tStar" reporter tracked this hairdresser to a street in the West end, and there lost all trace of him. Really the Princess of nothing more than what women know as g "wisp:" At sandringham there is a room just like huge hatter's shop. All around it are little receptacles, varied by pier glasses, and these receptacles contain the hats and bonnets of the Princess and her husband. When she is at home she wears two or three different hats every day, but she always wears bonnet when out visiting. For princess her bonnets should not be consid- cred extravagant. She generally gives about 30s. for hat or bonnet, not at all an ex- tra7agant price, when one can see the dowdi- est of bonnets at some of the so-called society milliners' in Bond st. marked at three or four guineas each. But the Princess of Wales certainly has the faculty of dressing neatly; and women who are neat are seldom expensive in taste.
 It is the young Princesses who will pose ss leaders of fashion shortly, until they are married It was not until lately that they attained the dignity of "dressing" st all- that is, dressing in a woman's sense of the word as opposed to a girls. In fact they were quite dowdy in the simplicity of heir costumes until people began to remark on it. Now they are listIe better

Our hero of the hour, noticing this move, and not quite understanding its purpose, turned to the retiring croupiers and remarked, ''Thank you, gentlemen; this is the first time have had the pleasure of playing last" And he quietly retired from the room, a richer man by nearly five thousand pounds than when he entered about half an hour previously
