Sub Treasury Bill Before Congress

SubTreasury Bill Before Congress.
The Senate Committee of the
L. S. Congress on Agriculture
and Forestry had under consid-
Grafton last week Vance's bill to
provide for a system of ware
houses for farm produce
through the country to be opera
ted by the government, which
is to Issue notes upon deposits
Of grain therein.
Col. Polk, president of the
National Farmers Alliance, read
a long argument in favor of the
measure, which, he said, was
formulated by committee ap-
pointed for that purpose by the
convention of the National Far
merS' Alliance and the Industrial
Alliance held i'll st. Louis, Dec.
3, 1899. He sketchel the de-
cline in agricultural values in
the face of the marvellous pro-
gress and development of other
industries and interests during
the past two decades and insist
ed that something should be
done for the farmer. He charg-
ed the fault upon the financi al
system IF the government, which
resulted in hIgh-priceu money
and low-priced products. The
remedy, Col Polk suggested, was
threefold:
/. Restore silver to its dignity
and place as a money metal, with
all the rights of coinage and all
the qualities Of legal tender
which gold possesses.
2. Issue sufficient amounts of
currency direct to The people at
low rate of interest to meet
the legitimate demands Of the
business of the country, and
which shall be legal tender for
| all debts, public and private.
3. Secure to such issue equal
dignity with the money metals
by basing it on real, tangible
substantial values.

Only little brown woman she,
Man of the world and profigate he
Hard and conscenceless cynical, yet
Somehow when he and the woman met
He saw what other there is in life
Than passion feeding and careless strife;
There came resolve, and sense Of shame,
For she made as his motto but "Faith and Fame"
The world is foolish: we cover truth;
We're barred by the gates that we built in youth;
Two were they, surely, and two might stay,
But she turned him into the better way;
His thoughts were purified, even when
He chafed and ragged at the might -have.been
He learned that living is not whim,
For the soul in her entered into him.
He fights, with others, to win or fall,
And the spell OF the Woman is over all.
Bravely they battle in their degree,
For-"The woman love shall be proud of me!'
And man and woman, the one in heart,
May be buried together or buried apart,
But the strong will battle In his degree,

from the present outlook it is destined to play a

The writer once asked lady, whose relatives were

was: II have not changed my faith, we are all

To DEFINE "womanly"-to describe what con-

sefconstituted task Of thousands Of people, all Of

differing in more or less degree from the opinion

more nearly revealed when it is learned that there
are thousands and thousands of varieties OF wom-
anly women, more numerous perhaps than the va
different yet equally perfect in their way. 1t then
becores simply matter Of taste as to which kind
of womanly woman one .dmires most-the wom-

denomination In the whole country, has voted in
favor of women lay delegates. Other churches
are sure to follow the example of the Union
Church, as the congregation is most enlightened

weight with the smaller churches. II the majority
of the churches favor the women they will elect
majority Of Delegates to the Annual State Con-
ferences, and, having majority there, delegates
to the National General Conference will be selected
who are of the same opinion, and thus women will
get into the most powerful body in the Methodist

WELD the power Of a delegate, which on the floor
is equal to that of minister or a bishop.

Mississippi River.
KINGSTON, N. Y Feb. 1O.-The whole
Waikiki valley is distressed over ter
rible drowning accident that occurred
Sunday afternoon at the Third Binne-
| water, one of chain of four lakes in the
picturesque valley of the Waikiki.
Six persons fell through the ice and
were drowned. Their names were:
Jacob B. Slater, Mrs. Jacob Slater, two
Slater boys, boy named Bush and lit
tie girl.
The unfortunate children decided to
have run on the ice. They obtained
hand-sled. The Slater boys put ON their
skates, and the other children sat on
the sled. When some thirty feet from
the shore, their fresh young voices join
ing in Sunday-school song, the ice
gave way, and, with de-
spairing shrek, the skaters
and the sled-riders disappeared
from view. Mr.. and Mrs. Slater lived in
cozy house in proximity to the lake.
The mother heard the cries OF her off,
spring, and cloakless and hatless she
ran to the Binnewater and to her death.
She had gone only ten feet when the ice
gave way under her feet, and with the
cry, 20. my Children" she disappeared.
| Mr.. Slater was returning to his
house; he heard his wife's last words
and saw her struggling in the waters
of the lake. The ice had been
broken up all around her. Slater ran
to her rescue but he, too, ran only to be
engulfed as she and their children had
been. He disappeared from sight
silently. The calamity wiped the en-
tire Slater family out Of existence. No
bodies have been recovered.
SEVEN BOYS DROWNED.
New ORLEANS, Feb. TO- A sad acct
dent occurred Sunday afternoon in Car
rollton. Eight boys, all residents of the
/ upper city, secured two pinnaces, and
! jumping into them started out to take
a ride on the river. Their course
led them between two empty
coal barges lying at the head
of Octavia street. There was .
strong current running at the
time, and despite their efforts the yawls
were hurled by the current against the
barges, causing both boats to upset, and
seven of the eight unfortunate youths
we're thrown into the river and drowned.
