What is to hinder the Postofice, says
a writer in the New York Tribune, from
furnishing and allowing any stationer to
sell a line of stamped envelopes Of the
best quality in the fashionable sizes and

write on, a lot of unnecessary and disa-
greeable licking and sticking of green

Frank Newlsnds has endangered
his Senatorial chances the first turn out
Of the box, said Colonel X. B. Brown,
the experienced Nevada politician. "He
has been feeding ch~estnuts to those sage.
brushers, and that doesn't go worth q
cent over there"
As he said this Colonel Brown pointed
the finger Of scorn At a paragraph in the
Gazette's report of last Saturdays Irri-
CATION Convention in Reno. Mr.. New
/ will relate an incident which came
under my own observation. AT Elko,
one Of the eating stations along the line
Of the railroad, a stranger asked q resi-
dent what supported the population Of the
town. The citizen said:
81 don't know"
He then called on another resident, and
asked:
"Say, Hank, what supports this
town.
Hank replied: 81 guess the post
office"
THAT joke had gray whiskers and
almanac a r.marks before Nswlands was
out Of knee panties," rosred the Colonel,
his indignation rising as he proceeded,
T" and IL he thinks he can snake the toga
from the shoulders Of a story teller like
John p. Jones by such yarns as that,
he's off his blooming chunk. Nevada
| Senators have always been accomplished
contours, as we say in French. and our
people won't nave no other kind.
"But that wasn't Newlands' worst
break. You see he called Elko an eat
ing station on the line Of the railroad.
Maybe il is, but it's the county seat oil
the richest county in the State, just the
same, and when Newlands comes up for

Twelve Fears without speaking,

Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Grieve, an eld-
erly couple of Homer, Ca, quarreled
twelve years ago over a remark made by
a neighbor that one of their children did
not resemble the remainder of the fam
lily. Argument only widened the breach
and the couple at last agreed to live
under the same roof but never to speak
to each other. During all that time Mr..
and Mrs. Homer sat at the same table
and entertained their friends and no one
ever detected the breach. Recently Mr..
Homer brought the matter before the
church brethren, who advised q reconcil.
iation and remarriage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Homer have consented to accept this sd.
vice and will Immediately remarry.

There ia one fact in connection with
the secret ballot system which must not

that dominates the best men will win

HOW SYNDICATES BUY.
The Method Of the Reigning Craze for
American Investments.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The manner Of procedure of the English syn
dictate is first to examine the property, and if
found satisfactory the books are examined by
English experts. In London the books of all
corporations are regularly examined by experts
who are known and licensed as chartered ac-
countants, which is a regular profession there.
The recent investment of large sums Of foreign
capital here has induced these firms to have
representatives on this side, who act on cabled
instructions and make the necessary examine
tions preliminary to the acceptance Of the prop

WILD TIMES IN THE HOUSE.
Nothing Like II Since the Old Days OF
Reconstruction.

The widest scene that has occurred in the
House since the reconstruction times WIS
enacted in the House this afternoon when the
vote was announced Oh the motion to take up
the Smith-Jackson election case. When the
vote was announced ii was found that l6l
votes had been cast in the affirmative and two
IN the negative. point Of no quorum was
made on the democratic side and the Speaker
directed the clerk to record the names. list Of
which he had kept, of members not voting. but
present loud shout Of approval
was raised on the republican side. Then as
the names Of the democrats were read by the
Speaker members got up in their places and
protested against their names being recorded
against their will
Mr.. Breckenridge Of Kentucky made n very
impressive protest and
THE DEMOCRATS STOOD Up AND SHOUTED,
every man with all his might. some cheering
and some shouting their protests. Cries of
Gear" were often repeated.
The scene was more like that of a riot than
the proceedings of a parliamentary body
Mr.. Reed said he WAS announcing a fact not
voting for the members. He said that when
this was done he would proceed in an orderly
manner to state his case and leave the question
TO be settled by the House.
After a while the House got quiet
and he made hiss statement Of the case. citing
the action of Mr.. Hill, the present governor of
New York. in the New York senate. and stat
ing that the question was one that had often
been raised.
Mr.. CRISP GETS THE FLOOR
Mr.. Crisp appealed from the decision OF the
chair and Mr.. Rowell of Illinois moved to table
that motion.
Mr.. Crisp demanded TO be heard in answer
to the Speaker, but the latter recognized Mr.
Rowell instead, whereupon Mr.. Crisp denounced
his conduct as unfair and unmanly. He appealed
to the fairness of the republicans, and WAS
finally given the floor, yielding for a moment
to Mr.. Hatch (Mo.) who stated that
he was paired with Mr. Rockwell
Mass and that the Speakers action in re-
cording him as absent under these circum-
stances was fallacious and wrong. Mr.. Crisp
then proceeded to make a reply to the Speak
er's argument.
EXTREME MEASURES SPOKEN OF.
The democrats speak of Withdrawing from
the hall if the majority sustain the action OF
the speaker.
II they do this it is said that the Speaker
Will authorize the sergeant-at-arms to arrest
enough and bring them in to make a quorum,
and that then a motion may be made to expel
the absent members.
MR. BREcKISRIDoE's PROTEST.
When Mr.. Breckenridge made his remark in
resounding voice in the House today: Il
deny the power Of the speaker to do this. and
denounce it as revolutionary" Cheer after
cheer characterized by the republicans as the
rebel yelf went up from the democratic side

three men who were going to an evening party
with him exclaimed in chorus: '.Why are you
not dressedF' For the fact was that whereas
the trio of his friends were IN evening dress,
Noodles did not appear to be in readiness for
any sort of fashionable festivity. However, he
remarked:

Two or three of the other men sitting about

"What is the use of talking that way.

well enough that no mau living can dress tor a
party in that time
.'You think SO, eh?" said Noodles We'll. I'll
bet you anything you please that can be ready
to 60 out tonight, properly equipped in every
respect, within two minutes"
The boys jeered at this. However, they
did not know that Noodles had come down
stairs loaded for bets on that very subject.
Drinks were wagered on the point and it was
quickly brought to decision, the stakes being

another motion he slipped into a dress coat

THE BASE BALL SITUATION.
The Effect of the Ward DecisiOn-Wha
Mr.. ScanlOn Says.


"What do you think of the base ball situation
today" asked STAR reporter of Mr.. Michael
b. Scanlon this afteroon
well, really" said he, ''there is very little
to say just now, in my opinion, and things are
not likely to liven up much until after the
meeting of the league officials in New York
Then there may be plenty of interesting
news, for it is hard nowadays to
tell what will happen next You know Presi-
dent Young and Mr. Hewett are out of town and
while they are away things are likely to be
dull In league matters here. l suppose what
you want to know is my opinion of the decis-
ION IN the Ward case yesterday. / see all the
brother hood men are whooping things up and
cheering for complete victory. l cannot see
where they have it yet. The court think
thing, and at any rate this decision does
not finish the case by any
means. True, straws tell the direction
of the wind. but the court held that the case
must be tried entirely OH Its merits. The
brotherhood is not out of the woods yet
But If the case goes all in favor Of the broth
erhood what effect will it have on the league?"
The league will undoubtedly play to win
and they will put out strong teams. They will
have fight to make and they will be ready for
1t. The main result, so far as Washington is
s si .hs is n what na have prOphesed
tain. The league will have but eight teams
Washington and Indianapolis are certain to
go in order to strengthen other teams. The
New York league team will find strong broth
erhood team in the field and will need
all their energies to meet the occasion. You
see if they do not absorb all the Indiapois
players to strengthen their team. Washington
Is also doomed, l believe it. They are
in no condition here for protracted fight, and
it is my opinion they will give in before the
season opens and we will have no base ball
here next season. You keep your eyes on
coming events and see if 1 am not true
