Dignity of the House.

The House is on its dignity nowadays. A
few days ago an order originated in the SEN
ate, directing that placards be posted on the
walls of the House and Senate requesting
gentlemen not to smoke This morning they
appeared, printed in faring red letters, post
ed all over the walls of the House and Sem
ate. The House didn't like it, and when
Mr.. Looney introduced an order that the Of
fensive placard be torn down there was gen.
eral applause.
The Speaker said the order whereby the
cards had been put up was a concurrent Or
der, and doubted whether Mr.. Looney's
measure was in order.
Mr. Manley wanted to know if there was
not dignity enough in the house to resent
the imposition of such notices that had had
their origin in the Senate.
The House gave strong signs of thinking
about this way too, and the Speaker receiv-
ed the order and it was passed. The next
moment Messenger Smith and his forces
were scaling the walls and tearing the post
ers down.

Sudden Death OF Mrs. Carrie
thompson in Georgia.
The sudden death of Mrs. Carrie
Thompson, widow of the late Horace
Thompson, at her winter home in
Thomasville, Ga. will bring sadness TO
many hearts in this city. Mrs. ThOmp-
son. the daughter of the late Hon. James
j. Scarborough, a prominent citizen of
Georgia, was born in IhOmaSville, Aug.
II, 1852. She removed to this city with
her late husband in 1860. With her
husband, she filled q prominent
place in all religious, philan-
thropic and charitable work in st. Paul.
Since his death. in 1880, she has, with
undated interest ~ devotion, sought
to carry on the work in which they both
were Interested. For eighteen years
she was president of the st. Paul Prot
eStant Orphan asylum. With her nus
band she united with the First Baptist
church Of this city early in 1861, having
previously been Identified with a church
of the same denomination in Georgia.
The beautiful editice of the First Bap-
fist church of St. Paul is an endearing
monument to their memory. Mrs.
Thompson was for many years president
of the ladies' society of the church, and
to the last was interested in every de-
tail or the church life and work. She
was eminently a devOut woman, and
gave not only her means, but her SYM
pathy and personal effort as well. Mrs.
Thompson, with her sons, started
for their winter home Nov. IA.
1t is supposed that the disease
of which she died, pneumonia. was
contracted while in New York city en-
route for Georgia. On Sunday. Dec. l,

this city, and the family physician, DR..
Ohage, started at once for her bedside:
Reports continued unfavorable uutil
Friday last. when the dispatches were
more encouraging. But on Monday a
telegram announced death as impend-
ing. and yesterday the sad news of her
death, at 1880 Monday evening, was
received. 1t is worthy of note that on
Jan. 81 her husband died at New
York city, also of pneumonia. In this
great sorrow the immediate family have
the sincere sympathy of a wide circle OF
friends, whose sense of bereavement is
hardly less than their OWL

Oil Inspection Fees Swelling Up

When the legislature Oyerhauled the
