FIFTY DEmOCRArs MEET
To Break the Deadlock to Legislative
 Business.

Business.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. "A caucus of about fifty Democratic members of the House was held to night to consider some plan for breaking the deadlock to legislative business. A number of speeches were made. MT. Blount of Georgia urged the thirty odd Dem. oorats who have been voting for the resolu tion to return to the fold and to join the ma jority of their colleagues in resisting any at tempt to bridle the minority.
 Mr. Oates of Alabama favored the resolu. ton to prevent flibustering, declaring that the expressed will of large majority of the House should not be, as it could be under the present rules. thwarted by the caprices ot one man. In answer to the objection that the Republicans in the next House would point to the action of the present House as 8 precedent for enacting legislation detrimental to the interests of the South he declared that the Democrats in the Fifty-6rst Congress would be abundantly able 50 cope with theiI antagonists.
 Speaker Carlisle defended his action in casting the deciding vote in committee On or dering the resolution to be reported to the House. He thought that the adoption o1 that resolution would facilitate the legisla- tion of the House and would be of benefit to the country. He eontended that no advan- tage would accrue to the Republican party in the Fifty first Congress by reason of the adoption of the resolution. The Republican majority was too small to cause the Demo- cratic minority to fear that it would be en- abled to enact ill-advised and vicious legisla tion when a two-thirds vote was required rc pass it through the House. The rules would protect the minority in the preservation oi their rights.
 MT. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, seconded the speaker in his views and advocated the adoption of the eommittee's resolution. Messrs. Holman, Barnes, Elliot and otheri took part in the debate and then 8 resolu tion, offered by Mir. Bland of Missouri, was adopted declaring it to be the sense of thu l caucus that the resolution pending in thu House should be defeated, but that on thu l first and third Mondays of each month nt dilatory tactics should be resorted to in orde
 to prevent the passage of measures under suspension of the rules.

EnSerta1nmenIs. AUS DER OHE RECITAL,

Feauleiu aus der One will give grand piano and song recital at the Hyperion to- morrow (Wednesday) afternoon at 3 o'clock. This young pianist, familiarly known as Liszt's "Lebling," is spoken of by the New
 York Tribune as having taken Ca leading
 position among American performers. She is rarity among women players, not less in
 respect of depth and seriousness of musical feeling than in finger and arm power" After her appearance in the Worcester music festi- val the New York Times wrote: ''The great success of the evening was achieved by the young German pianist, Freuleiu aus der One. She played Liszt concerto in k flat with such marvellous strength and facility of exe- cution that the girls of the chorus fairly went wild over her, and led the applause that in of the orchestra, too, joined heartily in the ovation. Az an encore she played the spin | ming song from Wagner's Flying Dutchman, |, l arranged by Liszt." The "Duo," by Miss
 Walker and MT. King, which will open the \ recital, is from Verdi's beautiful opera | Aida" and is well qualified to bring out the
 rare and exquisite quality of voice of both l singers, and will no doubt bring forth 6 storm of applause as it has done often in | New York.

&GkT Ellen NORTH sat In defect,
q ed heap on the floor, hel
GI elbows on her knees and ,hel
3S&B two hands plunged deep in
her short FURNISHED red hair. and
surveyed with smarting eyes and
unspeakable disgust the two shabby
dresses which she had just resurrected
from their camphory summer entomb-
ment, displayed on her bed. Sprawl
ing at her feet lay pretty Invitation
card, with sprig Of mistletoe 10 one
corner, to DAT nnasQ,se GU Christmas
eve to be given at the town hall, and
to which she was CORDIALLY invited. =
Closing her eyes, she shut ont the
barren prospects, and shut In . vision,
such vision as how many girls have
had, Of q blaze Of light, the pungent
perfume of cedar against which the
holly cleaned red or Hinged chrysan-
themums shone white and yellow; the
futter OF airy draperies; the sentient
throbbing Of MY Queen waltz herself
In something gauzy and cleaning as
yes, as Parthenia, just like q picture
she had once seen and which she had
ever after instlnctively felt would
make her, too, almost beautiful.
Her heart beat even at the thought
of sweeping past Frank Carlton, her
shining draperies brushing the silken
ones Of the lovely woman on his arm
of feeling their eyes follow her with
dumb admiration and wonder, while
she smiled colby to herself, and held
herself coolly aloof from them. She
saw herself the centre Of attraction,
eclipsing even the visiting city beauty
who had taken the town by storm,
aud held futtering In her train her
own sweetheart who was once 50
loyal.
She came back to every day matters
with sigh that was half sob, and
spurned the inohensive invitation
from her with her toe.
All her life she had longed for pretty
dresses and longed in vain. She could
not remember her young mother who
left her this longing for a legacy; she
could only remember that her father
was proverbially sshard up,' and hel
fathers old maid sister as turning and
contriving and managing their poor
household with economical hands
She had somewhere heard that THU
sister had been quite a beauty in hel
time, but her lover had died, and sh,
had consecrated her life to his mem
DRY, and growing older had fount
solace In caring for her brother
motherless child.
Possessing all girls keen an,
artistic appreciation of attractive dress
she sometimes almost loathed her owl
