such circumstances might resemble
those of Bottom, the weaver, when he
found himself beloved by Ttania, the
fairy queen. There are persons, how
ever, who can bear of unaccustomed
honors with credit to themselves and
their new position.

Manchu dynasty in China, in 1644,

and reference was at once made to the
family records to ascertain who was
the next heir.
It was found that he was an obscure
person, who had been entirely lost
sight Of by his family, and for long
time it was impossible TO trace his
whereabouts. Finally, however, he
was discovered selling pumpkins out
side the gates Of Pelkin, ard was with
difficulty convinced that he had be-

and quite destitute of education,
though an honest man, who had al
ways done his best to support himself
and his family without mourning debt.
The officials by whom he was dis
covered at once hurried him away,
washed, shaved and combed him, and
exchanged his rags for costly raiment.
For several days they devoted them
selves to polishing his manners, and
steaching him the phrases needful for

then brought before the emperor as

were allowed and he at once took pos

The Oklahoma Bill i'm the HOuse-.No
Intoxicating Liquors Yet.

WASHINGTON, March IL House. /
Mr.. Cameron, of Illinois, from the COM
mittee on rules, reported a resolution
setting aside to-day and tomorrow for
the consideration of the Oklahoma bill,
the final vote to be taken at four p. m.
tomorrow. After a brief discussion of
the resolution, during which Mr.. Hook
er, of Mississippi, said he was opposed
to the committee on rules using its auto
cratic power to bring in special rules ap-
plicable to special measures, it was
adopted, and the House went into a
committee of the whole on the Oklahoma
bill.
A long discussion followed over pro-
posed amendments prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors in the territory,
and high license amendment, but final
ly an amendment prohibiting the intro
duction Of intoxicating liquors into The
territory until after the adjournment of
the first session of the territorial legisla
ture, was adopted by vote of 20 to a..
A motion Of Mr.. Holman, of Indiana,
an amendment was adopted providing
that none of the land embraced in the
territory shall inure to the use or bene-
fit of railroad corporations except the
right of way heretofore granted. Pend
ing further discussion the committee
rose, and the House $50 adjourned.

strict proof, not only in conformity to 8
fair construction of the statute relating
to the subject, but in accordance with
the dictates of public policy. We can
lind no satisfactory allegation that her
husband endangered her life by cruel
and barbarous treatment, for it does not
appear that he struck or offered to strike
her; but the specification is threaten
Ing to mash her brains out. and that in
consequence she was afraid to retire to
rest, &c. Neither does it appear that
he offered any indignity whatever to her
person; so the wife does not bring her
case within the meaning of the statute.
But If 1t We're doubtful whether his
conduct, considered alone, would fur
nlsh sufficient ground for the applica-
tlon for divorce, the Court must know
more fully the circumstances under
which the threats were made, and espe-
clally whether these threats were uttered
under the influence of a sudden ebuli-
ton OF passion, provoked by some
tauntlng language, or more active dem
onstrations of hostility on her part.
The Court goes on to recite that these
matters had not been specifically pre-
sented IN the case, and there was con
sequently an error In the Judgment of
the lower court. The radical defects
IN the case could only be cured by
amendments to the evidence offered,
and that this might be done, a new trial
was granted.

SNEAKING EFFORT TO ESTAB-
LISH AN ORANGE TRUST.


OF One Dollar OH Foreign Fruit--The
'lnfant Industry'' Chestnut Again
"A Hearing Before the Ways and
Means Committee.
(By United Press
WAsHISGTON, March 12-An inter
esting hearing took place before the
Ways and Means Committee. A dele
CATION from Florida, representing the
Florida Orange Growers Association,
consisting Of Lieutenant Governor Ma
bry, Capt. John II. Welsh, Hon. J. E.
Hartridge, }. G. McKibben, Geo. W.
Wilson and State Senator Rogers, ap-
peared before the committe and sub
nltted arguments in favor of placing
nuty of one dollar per box on
imported oranges. Imported oranges
1t was stated, were worth upon entry
from 81 30 to $500 per box, about the
price at which Florida oranges are sold in
New York. Mr.. Hartridge, of the
Jacksonville Board of Trade, Mr.. Nc
klbben, representing the Orange Fruit
Growers Association and Capt. Welsh,
leading republican of the State, ex-
pialned the needs of the orange grow
ing industry of the State, and insisted
that this protection asked was needed
because of the increased cost Of pro-
ductlon OF this fruit here as compared
with the cost Of production abroad
LaborerS IN Florida cost orange growers
about 81 25 per day, while abroad they
are paid about 40 cents per day. 1t
was claimed by these gentlemen that
importers evaded the law and obtained
rebate on whole cargoes by exhibiting
| damaged boxes as samples. They urged
at least an amendment to the present laws
so as to prevent this evasion They
urged that protection to home fruit did
not mean higher prices to the consumer,
but that home competition in the near
future, with little help now to an in
FAINT industry, will soon supply the fruit
at lower prices than is now furnished
from abroad. They claimed that there
was at present 500, 900, 900 invested in
this industry, and that it gave employ
ment to twenty thousand people in the
| State.
The delegation which politically was
made up of four democrats and two re
publicans, declared themselves as ou
and out protectionists, favoring protec
ton not only TO their Florida orange in
dustry but to every other State tha
needed it.
Representative Flower, Of New York
a member of the committee, said b
owned an orange grove in Florida, bu
was opposed to the protection advocates
by the delegation The foreign trad
did not interfere with the Florida trace
When foreign oranges came into thi
country, the Florida crop was no
in the market, aud the foreign orange
!, filled up the gap between the end of on
,, Florida crop and the beginning of th

AN AUTOPSY OVER TAULBEE'S
REMAINS.
How the Bullet Was FOund--The Im-
mediate Cause of Death.
BY United Press


WAsHINGToN, ID. c., March 12.-An
autopsy on the body of eX-Congressman
Taulbee was held this morning by Dr..
Lamb, assisted by Surgeon General Ham
ilton, DR.. Bayne and DR.. Frederick.
The ball was found wedged in the orbi-
tai cavity directly at the base OF the
brain, and about two inches from the
spot where it entered. 1t had taken
course slightly downward, but not at
so great an angle as was supposed.
The bullet was mashed into shapeless
piece of lead and was so firmly ibmedded
that it could not have been extracted
while Mr.. Taubee rived. The doctors
found that the immediate cause of death
was the formation Of an abscess about
the size of a walnut at the base OF the
brain. The brain had not been injured
by the bullet, but was much congested.
The bones at the base were slightly shat
tered but no splinters had entered the
brain. The doctors stated that Mr..
Taulbee could not have lived under any
circumstances, and expressed themselves
as surprised that he survived such a
length of time.
The remains of Representative
Taulbee left here tonight for Mount
Sterling, Ky, where the interment will
take place.
