The Prince was condescending enough to
rank Palmer-the rich, vain, corpulent
Palmer-among his friends. He even
deigned, and not infrequently, to consult
the banker in his pecuniary embarrassments,
and Palmer was only too delighted to help
him. In return, the Prince had submitted
to figure as director on the prospectuses of
two companies engineered by Palmer, who
took no little pleasure in the fact
that the representative of one of
the greatest families in France
was under obligations to him. The Prince

Der on the committee, and he is hardly
new member, having served in the Forty

with the prominence he has achieved in

the Prince pronounced these words there
happened to be at his elbow a certain smart
young journalist, who was on the staff of q

A NOVEL STRIKE.
GIasshouse Boys who Refused TO Work on

GlnsshOuse Boys Who Refused 10 Work on
Christmas Eve.
A crowd of glasshouse boys stood at the
corner Of South Eighteenth street last Tues
day afternoon in earnest discussion. A
DISPATCH reporter crossed over the street,
and, upon inquiring the cause of the confer
ence, was informed that they had struck. %
There were about 80 of them, all employed
at Thomas Evans factory on South Eigh-
teenth street. As they got together and
talked of Christmas and saw the prepara-
tions going on around them for a merry
evening, they decided that they wouldn't
work, and that they would enjoy Christmas
with the rest of them.
The men employed in the factory could
not go to work without the boys, and for a
short time it looked like lockout. The
pots, however, had been filled, and the glass
would have been spoiled if not used. The
men could hardly helD sympathizing with
the boys, and to the foreman was left the
duty of bringing them to work. The boys
at first held out strong, Saying they wanted
10 enjoy Christmas Eve as, well as other
people. At last the foreman told them that
they could get off at 8 o'clock, and one by
one they started to the factory with sober
faces at the thoughts of having to work
while the enjoyment and hustle of Christ
mas tide was going on about them.

himself the functions Of discoverer, herald

make Nine. Dagand the rage? Why not?
He had never taken up any little bourgeois

Speakership has not affected his cordial re-

two will be found working in good align

various schedules.
Putting Tom Bayne on the committee was
a nice recognition Of worth. Colonel Bayne
comes from the heart of the great iron and
glass manufacturing industries. He is a
lawyer, millionaire, and has been in Con-
press for u years. AS Judge Kelley re-
tires from the committee, Colonel Bayne.s
appointment borrows significance. His Will
be the voice to speak for the great keystone
State in Congress. Upon him now comes
the burden the venerable Judge has borne
so valiantly through many Congresses. The
new committeeman looks like a man who
burns midnight oil. There is lambent
energy in his eyes, but about them are'al-'
ways the lines that tell of late hours and
hard work. He dresses in plain business
garb, and is one of the most practical de-
baters on the floor.

Stevens, who had been Chairman of Wavs
and Means, was put at its head. This was
largely the work of the late Sunset Cox. and
he it was who reported from the Committee
on Rules the resolution for the new commit
tee. In 1873 the membership was increased
to 13. 1t has remained at that number to
the present time. In December, 1886
the House distributed a number Of
the bills prepared by the Appropriations
Committee to their appropriate committees
and left but six general bills to the Appro-
priations Committee. So the original duties
OF the Ways and Means Committee are now
widely scattered.
To be a member on WAYS and means is q
high honor and many of our great men have
found it the portal to greater fame. There
are now here in Washington as L count on

The Ways snd Means Committee is an in

to be attached TO it? can only think of
the old committee on Ways and Means that
the early English parliaments used to ap-

tant demands for money. The Commons
only cSuld originate bills for revenue and
when the demand for royal bOunties came
they appointed special committees to find
ways and means to lay and collect more
taxes. Blackstone briefly describes this
committee as it was in the time of Henry
