SENATE.
Mr.. E lmuuds asked and obtained leave
of absence for six days from tomorrow on
account OF his health.
Mr.. Qlsy's resolution fixing the time for
voting on the tariff bill and designating the
other legislative business to be taken up at
this session, was laid before the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar demanded the yeas and navs on
agreeing to the resolutio1, and thsn eflored
as substitute for Mr.. Quay's resolution
bis own proposition making it iu order.
("when any bill or resolution shall have
oeeu under consideration for reasonable
tim5") for any Senator to demand that de-
bate thereon be closed. He also moved to
amend Mr.. Q1ay'5 resolution by adding 10
1t provision to include 10 the business to
be taken up, tho federal election bill. and
TO have the vote on it taken on the 4 of
September.
Mr.. Q1ay gave notice that at the proper
time he would demand division of the
question, meaning that he would AJAX separ-
ate votes on bis own resolution and on Mr..
doar's amendment.
Mr. Hoar then read and detained q long
speech reiterating all the old time gable
about alleged southern outrsges upon the
ballot box, and demanding the passage of
the election law, the designation OF which
as Force bill, he denounced as gross
calumny.

in ten days afterwards, and the election bill
in ten days after that. Cowardice, he said,
had never won battle aud never retained a
friend.

remarks, and declared his opposition to the

The Work of the Cyclone.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 2O.-As coz
sequence Of the terrible devastation and
complete CONSERVATION that followed the
cyclone which travelled through this city
late Yesterday afternoon, and the fact that
darkness so quickly enysloped the valley,
it wss impossible to gather much intelligence
as to the extent of the damage and loas Of
life. Il Is singular that 90 comparatively
few lives were Lost. Immense buildings
containing many people we're unfoofed and
IN many cases almost destroyed IN the
twinkliDg CT an eye, and this at All hour
when the people were ebout the streets
amid flying timbsf and debris of evary char
acter. The Ninth regiment is on duly as
sisting the police 10 maintaining order, and
the work of raising the embargo laid upon
msuy of The strests by fallen trees and tele-
graph poles has commenced. Many owners
of buildings have already set about the re-
construction of their property. A careful
estimate places the number of buildings
demolished and partially destroyed at near
Iy 400 and some estimate that 1t will exceed
this figure. The loss will probably reach
nearly If not quite $1,000 OO0. So far a.
can be asoertained this morning, twelve PER
sons are known to have been killed and
nine fatally, and twenty -four seriously IL
i1red. The city during the night was &C.
vsloped In darkness owing to all the cleo
trio lights being cut of.

THE COMMISSIONER of the Indian bureau,
whether or not on pleasure bent, unques-
tionably has frugal mind. He makes the
Iudsn school girls at Carlisle do the cooking,
and washing and ironing, and house service
for his family, and has appointed his VILE
to clerkship In his bureau at salary o,
sl,SCO. But, Sc the President conducts hie
Office as a personal affair, 1t Is no wonder
that his example should be followed, In that
respect at least, by his sabordinatis. And
then, too, the President and the commits
sioner read their Bibles regularly, and in it
thay find that those who do not provide fcI
their own households are worse than the

that such provision comes much easier out
of the peoples treasury than out Of their

There was great big duffer of a fe1-

the depoS az Paterson, evidently aching
for a row of some sort, when somebody
called out after Mr.. Goodhue. Ths
owner of the name proved to be a small

arm, and here was an opening for the
duffor. He walked up and asked:

HEREDITY OF CRIME
Curious Phases and the Dieful Results Of
Inherited Disease.

Doubtless crime is often committed from
mere love of it.
The identity of "Jack the Ripper" re-
mains undiscovered, so we do not know
what impelled him to the commission of
his atrocious crimes. Little doubt he was
insane, his actions controlled by an alb
normal condition of the mind; it is plain
none of the ordinary reasons for crime
prevailed in his case. He was perhaps the
victim of some hereditary taint, which
drove him to acts against which his will
revolted and from which, in his rational
moments, his soul recoiled in horror.
French noveliet of realism makes the
hero of late novel of such a character.
He was a locomotive engineer, a thorough
ly competent and reliable man, but If he
chanced TO behold the white throat of a
woman. a wild frenzy seized him; he
could not control desire to plunge a
knife into 1t.
He was aware of his infirmity, fought it
with stubborn will. denied himself the so
ciety of women, and for years controlled
himself. At lasC he meets his fate; finds
pleasure in her society, with no return of
his old longing for blood, until he fatters
himself he is safe. But one night she
meets him with gleeming throat bare; the
uncomfortable impulse seizes him; he can
not resist; as she throws her loving arms
about him be thrusts the knife into her
neck, and-she falls, victim to the mad
ness of tainted blood.
Fortunately for the victims of ordinary
forms Of inherited disease, they may pro
tect themselves before it obtains d0mi-
nance in the system, Inherited Kidney
disease is especially dangerous, but may
be successfully resisted. I'm 1888, was
so near deaths door with an inherited and
complicated case of Bright's disease. q"

THF SlIGAR TRUST.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Judge Pratt. of
the supreme court, in Brooklyn, rendered
his decision this morning in the sugar
trust litigation. IL is n voluminous docu-
ment, and rectes the issues at stake very
fully. The cases involved are known as
the suits of Cameron against Havemyer
and the Brooklyn Sugar Refinery com
pany The Judge justifies the original in
junction restraining the plan of reOr-
ganiZation, but says that has been super
seeded by the publication of the plans under
consent of both parties.
IF, as the plaintiffs say in their own
bill, the original trust agreement be void,
certainly they ought not To attempt to
perform the duties which its language inn
poses upon them, because such acts would
constitute further oftenses against the
law which would subject the corpora
tions comprising the trust to forfeiture of
their charters Besides thew profess TO be

PAULINE WRIGHT DAVIS.

A Reminiscence from the Pen of Lille
Devereux Blake.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Of an individual
type was Pauline Wright Davis. one of
the early leaders of the women's suffrage
Movements woman of birth and breed
ing, gentle in manners and quiet in
speech. Her earliest efforts were direct
ed to the instruction of women In ply
siology, subject of which they were
then wofully ignorant. She married
Mr.. Thomas W. Davis, man of wealth
and position, and made her home in a
beautiful country seat near Providence.
r. l.
For several years she edited The Una,
paper devoted to the cause of woman
suffrage, besides contributing largely to
reform publications. She was active in
arranging campaigns and getting up
conventions, and was an admirable pre-
siding officer. Without possessing elo-
quence her addresses commanded atten-
ton frc IN their ability.
But, after all. her best aid to the cause
was herself Her charm of manner, her
dainty refinement, perpetually contra
dicted the assertion that the leaders of
our movement were all coarse viragos.
AS l remember Mrs. Davis. she was a
beautiful old lady with delicate feat
ures, snow white hair and blue eyes.
A prominent literary man told me that
he once stood looking at her with admi-
ration, am! finally said, do you know
that you are very handsome woman
She smiled and replied: ''Well, perhaps
have a right to be. In my youth was
only ordinary looking, in middle age l
was positively plain; it is only fair if
old age has at last brought me some
measure of beauty"
