OIL INSPECTION.
MIR. Lane Snaps His Whip and the
House ObeyS,


Representative Lane so far has had
his own way as to the oil inspection re-
form bills, and has succeeded in delay
ing the progress of the Haven bill to a
considerable extent. Mr.. Lanes oil
committee reported yesterday in favor
of the indefinite postponement of the
Haven bill.
Representative Haven-There were
only two votes in the committee for this
pOstponement; and the statements made
there as to the nature of this bill were
not Substantiated. | therefore ask that
this bill be continued as a special order
to-day.
Representative Lane-That is what l
deSire-this bill and house file $40 (hiS
own bilD to be considered together.
AS Mr.. Lane desired both, bills went
on to general orders to-day. 1t is going
to be fine test as to the true spirit of
economy prevalent in the house when
these bills come up for final decision.
AS a matter Of fact, the Haven bill re-
duces the oil inspectors office to its
proper proportions, while the Lane bill
really makes it greater sinecure than
it has been. If the house discovers this
in time, there is some prospect of the
state treasury being richer by the oil
inspection fees that will be diverted

SALARIES STOPPED.
State Officials Desiring an In
crease Rebuked.

The assistant superintendent of pub
lie instruction, the deputy insurance
commissioner and the insurance coul-
missioner himself, directly or Indirectly,
had bills before the house yesterday for
an increase OF salaries:
Representative Lane-Isn't it about
time for this house TO bring about q
decent reform? If we begin to raise
the salaries there will not be al official
in the state but what will desire his
raised. 1t is time for us to call halt.
We are making mistake in this in
crease Of salaries. move that this bill
be Indefinitely postponed.
Representative Smith, am glad that
the gentleman from Hennepin has put
himself on record on this matter of
economy. He has bill (Oil bill) before
this house which we may want him to
illustrate this new position of his upon.
Representative Dunn-I shall vote
hereafter No" with big IN" against
allincrease of salaries or extension of
official terms.
Representative Hoyt. despite this re-
trenchment and reform resolution of a
few days ago, broke his record by favor
ing this increase. This did not stem

Decline a denomination.

NEW YORK, Feb pa special from
indianapolis says: "Gen. Harrison,
it is reported, will give the public, and
especially the politicians, a surprise in
his inaugural address. If he does what
some of his friends profess to believe
he will, he will certainly startle place
hunters. He has. it is said, had the
idea under consideration for some
weeks and the rapaeity of members of
his party has finally driven him to
his purpose during the next five days
he will probably announce to the Amer
lean people that under no circumstances
will he be candidate for renomina-
ton four years hence. The adoption of
such platform would, it is argued in
his behalf, insure him greater freedom
of action and guarantee him a degree
of independence seldom enjoyed by a

Cold Treatment at the Hands of

The disposition among senators anent

Love at the Washtub.

A remarkable case of sudden and al
most unprecedented matrimony occur
rel on plantation near Winton,
Queensland, few weeks ago. A plant
er had been to RockhamptOn, and had
there engaged a strapping, good-loo1ing
girl to assist his wife in her household
duties. After she had been in her new
home several days she took her washtuh
out of doors ore morning to do the fam
ily washing. While hard at work, with
sOapsuds up to her elbows, along came a
squntter who keeps small herd of cat
tie III the neighborhood. He didn't in
tend to lose this chance to make the ac-
quaintnnce of woman. So he sailed up
to the washtub and began to talk, and il
wasn't long before she was giving him
more than half her attention.
After a while the young man owned
up that it was case of love at first
sight rs far as he was concerned, and he
popped the question without any ado.
The girl said she was willing if her mis-
tress would endorse him rs worthy
young man. That lady thought il
would be n good match, and said SO, ana
quarter of an hour later the brand new
lovers, in their work-day clothes, were
footing it three miles away to the house
of IL magistrate, where the knot was le-
gally tied in short order. The bride fin.
ished her washing i'll the afternoon, and
that evening she transferred herself to
the home of the squattcr, which she now
adorns, apparently as happya woman az

Bees vs. Pigeons in a Flying Match

At the village of Hamme, in West
phalia, most singular wager has been
made and won. Everyone knows the
rate at which pigeons fly, and almost a
kings ra1rsom has changed hands ON the
issue of their speed. This race was be-
tween pigeons and bees. A pigeon fan
cier and bet, master each backed his
favorite racer.
The course was three miles and half
the distance between the two villages
of Rynern and Hamme, and a dove-cote
which happened to be near a hive was
selected whining post. The race was
intended 20 be level, but in effect the
bees were handicapped. 1t was very
difficult to, identify them, and, though
rolling the an in flour before they started
on their c purse made them easily recog
nized on their arrival, it must have
somewhat retarded their flight. Nearly
everyone backed the pigeons, and the, G
was great excitement in the ring which
assembled around the winning post.
The favorltes were nowhere. The first
bee came in twenty-five seconds before
the first pigeon, and three other bees
before To e second. The others were not
classed.

Algiers' Human Panorama.

Before us, in the Moorish city of
Algiers, moves constantly changing
procession of representatives from all
nations and tribes. First comes a
stately Moor, with his white Bu1nous
wrapped about him, wearing a fez,
boardered with large white, embroid-
cred turban. Then comes the Arab,
cloaked and hooded in voluminous and
ragged wrappings, of a doubtful shade
Of white. The Jews pass by, chatting
socially, dressed in dark, rich materials,
and the Kabyles, too, from the near
mountains. Now appear two Moorish
iJomen, who are seldom seen on the
street except on Friday, their holy day.
The appearance which these women pre-
sent is at q first glance ludicrOus, but
after while it becomes interesting and
even fascinating to watch them. AL
though it is my second winter in Al
giers, [ find myself turning often to
gaze after these silent spectres, yelled
and mysteriously hidden in voluminous
folds and drapcries Of white. Very
little of their face is visible under the
haik and over the face-cloth, which is
drawn tightly below their beautiful
dark eyes Their full white trousers,
worn over the house costume, are any
thing but graceful, as they walk slowly
and with difficulty. But we shall look
at these women more closely and study
into their lives mt some other time.
Among these people of the flowing
white robes, mingle the French Zouave
officers, in bright blue jackets and scar
let trousers, and the brilliantly dressed,
but neat little French soldier, elbows
with the negro from the Soudan or
Abyssinia. The French citizen walks
past accompanied by his wife and chill
den in full Partisan toilet Now a
couple Of moorish soldiers meet, and as
they stop to kiss each others hand, we
see the inevitable white turban, but dis
tinguish them from others by their long
red cloaks, worn over the rich cloth cos
tune underneath.
And many n couple pass by, clothed
in long straight ulsters and travelling
hats, whom we cannot fail to recognize
as our English cousins. Numerous
Spanish and Swiss are here, and q few
Russians, Italians, Swedes, Poles and
Dutch, with a good sprinkling of Amer
leans here and there. Then, of course,
the sailors whose steamers have touched
at the port for day or two, come from
all parts of the globe.
Here We meet many an invalid, stop
ping on his morning walk to rest upon
one of the benches, while he luxuriates
in the delicious warmth of this balmy
air and sunshine. York Observer.

were, then received in New York some
hour in advance of the Albany agent s

to try heading off the mail with carrier
pigeo rs. So, very secretly, he secured
a coul Ibe of pairs of homers, and when
the tims for the next drawing approach
approac he'd he shipped them to New
York. A relative in New York secured

about each pigeons neck, let them
loose. They arrived in Albany far in
advance of the mail, and the Greenbush
man, investing heavily on the numbers
thus received, nearly bankrupted the

a Coal Mine Hero.

At the Coroner's inquest on Thomas
Holm, who was killed IA few days ago at
Hammond CollieIy, at Pottsville, Penn,
rare bit of bravery was disclosed.
Patrick Dougherty, Hobin's loader, was
ut work ut the gangway when Hobin
went up into the breast or chamber to
fire a shot. The hole where the charge
was placed was at tho top of an eighteen
foot plank elevated at an angle of
oeventy-five degrees. Hobin had placed
III the stick of dualin, tamped the hole
! and lighted the fuse, when in coming
down he started great mass Of coal and
was caught and crushed by an immense
boulder against the wall of the breast.
Dougherty heard his scream, and
looking up into the dark chamber saw
The suffering fuse. Not knowing what
had befallen his comrade, but knowing
if the shot went off Hobin would surely
oe killed, at the great peril of his own
life he climbed the steep plank and
pulled out the fuse within an inch of the
powder He found Hobin later with the
life crushed out of him.
Mine Inspector Stein says that in all
dis experience he never saw Drawer act

Poisoned by Burning Fur.

A singular case of wholesale poisoning
that came near proving fatal is reported
from the Morning Side School, in Sioux
City, Iowa, taught by Miss Hattie Con
milf. Shortly after school was called on
recent forenoon peculiar odor was
noticed, and searching for the source,
the teacher opened the door to the
closet where the scholars kept their
wraps. A fur cap, belonging to one OF
the boys, had fallen into n bucket con
tanning hot ashes, and was sending of
clouds of smoke. The teacher seized
the bucket and started for the door, but
when half way across the room was
overcome by the smoke, and dropped
into the nearest seat almost unconscious.
A boy then took the bucket, but Mt once
succumbed and fell to the floor Twenty
of the pupils who sat where the smoke
reached them were deathly sick, and
were unable to rise alone. BY super.
human efforts the teacher managed tc
get the door open, and the fresh air re.
vived her 50 she helped the children out
doors, where they lay on the ground III
agony. At the end of three hours all
had recovered sufficiently to be taken
home, but we're very weak. 1t is sup.

coloring matter of the cap, and that il
was set free by the burning. - Washing.

How a Pawnbroker Came Out.

81 would like to see some diamond
rings" SAID foppish young man with a
dainty manner of speech, entering q
three ball emporium on Halsted street,
near Taylor.
''You would, eh." said Mark, the pro
prietor, to himself, as he travelled along
the counter toward the threatening-to-
be customer; "but bet me dot felleh
ish no good, and aloud, in the most
genial manner, "Anyding you want, sir,
you shall hat. +"
The young man quickly chose q ring
with 3-carat single stone of prime
light, and requested that it be kept
apart for him, as he had no money at
that moment. Marx cleared away the
rings, when the young man, suddenly
leaning over the counter, indicated q
spot upon the shelf where the chosen
ring should be left until his return. In
the movement his elbow went through
the glass top of the showcase.
upon my word, cried he, "that was
most awkward trick, and l do not
know what to say You may add the
damage to the price of the ring"
'Der glass cost only tree dollar,
said Marx, Mitbrssaapz t-grace. "Vhy
don't you pay it now
"Why, sir, l am out of funds, was
the distressful protest.
''You will egscuse me if ] correct
you" blandly replied the broker, and,
bending over the case, he seized the
protruding end of $40 bill and plucked
it from the young mans vest pocket.
The purchaser was covered with con-
fusion, and averred that he knew not
that he had the money. He was ready,
however to have the cost of the glass de-
! Quoted.
When Marx deposited that evening
the bank clerk returned to him Il $40
bill on which he had deity imprinted
in large violet letters the condemning
word, Counterfeit. "-ChicaJo Tribune.
