HIGGINs's MISTAKE.
The Delaware Senator Shocks the Sedate Sem
ate by a Breach of Etiquette.

The Delaware Senator Shocks the Sedate SEN
ate by n Breach of Etiquette.
Washington Special TO New York Sun.
Senator Higgins. of Delaware, has COM
mitted an awful breach of senatorial eti-
qnette. and is being gently but persistentiy
rebuked by his old colleagues There is an
unwritten law of the Senate that no menu
Der of it shall move an executive session un-
TIL he has been Senator for at least two
years. Even then he is not expected to
make the motion himself, but to suggest to
one of the older Senators that he desires to
have an executive session. Then. if the
senior statesman is willing. the motion is
made in due form. Senator Edmunds Is
the man who is supposed to govern the mat
ter of whether the Senate shall 90 into
executive session or not, and his right to
rule is rarely questioned, not more than is
that of Don Cameron 10 move to adjourn.
Mr.. Higgins knew nothing about this time
honOred custom, and being man of COLI
siderable push and energy. and accus-
toned to manage his own affairs, lie upset
all the traditions.
Senator Cullom had the floor. and Mr..
Higgins asked him 1T he would yield to al
low him to make motion. The illinois
Senator. thinking that this was a request
floor. and the Delaware Senator startled
his colleagues by a motion to proceed to
the consideration of executive business.
Half dozen Senators immediately
hemmed, and Dawed, ana made several
motions. and Vice-presdent Norton who
has been thoroughly posted on the rules of
the Senate, completely ignored Mr.. Hig
gins and his motion. The Senator became
a little nettled, and, flushing, repeated his
request, and scOwled at the Senators who
were attempting to talk him off his feet.
They persisted, and SO did Mr.. Higgins.
He couldn't understand why Edmunds
wagged his head at him. and he paid no at
tentiOn to Senator Hoar. who elevated his
eyebrows and shook his spectacles. and.
when one OF two of his neighbOrs attempt
ell to whisper to him, he pushed them Oft.
saying: "Wait a minute, till 1 make my
motion"
Mr.. Higgins became quite annoyed at the
evident attempt to snuff him out and in
sisted OH his motion in such vigorous way
that the Vice president was compelled to
recognize it in order to save a row and ad
vertise to the galleries that there was
family misunderstanding. When the doors
were closed the old Senators read their
young colleague lesson in the etiquette of
the Senate, and told him hereafter when he
wanted an executine session to wink at Mr..
Edmunds and not to be so frisky himself.
Mr.. Higgins accepted his rebuke in becOm-
ing humbleness. but says privately to his
friends that he thinks senatorial etiquette
and courtesy for the most part are stuff and
nonsense.

Blunders About the Worlds Fair.


The first monumental blunder was that
of utterly neglecting the Columbus side of
tine celebration and considering it only as
a worlds fair. The date is 1892, the four
hundredth anniversary of the discovery by
Columbus of America. The celebration
should be a Columbus celebration. Every
item of it should connect itself with Chris
topher Columbus. The proper thought to
be held In view in the plan is how to honor
the name and memory of Columbus, and
how to show what has been the change in
the continent and history of the world as the
result Of his great discovery. In any great
scheme to do this worlds fair is but an
incident. and. badly conducted. would be
marring incident. Now, this has been
wholly forgotten apparently by those who
have assumed charge of the matter. They
have absolutely and totally ignored. so far
as the world can know. every feature Of
such n celebration except a worlds fair;
and the thought of the worlds fair has not
been of something connected with these
four hundred years of growth. but it has
been the thought of u great shOw-all well
enough in itseif-whch should attract peo-
pie to New York or Chicago. or Washing
ton, and boom the hotels and railroads and
put money into somebody's purse.

Career of Lucia Zarate, the Dfminutive Mex
lean Freak-Her Measurements.


New York Special.
the death. on snOw-bound train there, of
the smallest specimen of humanity the
world has ever possessed accurate record
of. Lucia Zarate was accounted by high
medical authority a marvel. A fortune or
two bad been made by her, for she was one
of the highestp priced freaks the amuse-
ment public has ever looked upon. Sever
al managers had grown wealthy in exhibit
ing her and she bad appeared in every civ
ilized country on the face of the globe. AS
in Tom Thumbs case even royalty had
paid her tribute.
Lucia Zarate was born at San Carlos, in
Mexico, Jan. 2, 1864. At her birth she ex-
hibited no malformation. and was. though
phenomenally tiny, a perfectly healthy in
FAINT, the child of well-formed and fully
grown parents. She never increased in
size to any extent and, after she had be-
come a local wonder. she found her way
into the world of natural curiosities. Her
first appearance in New York was made at
Tony Pastors Theater. in the summer of
1876. when. for several weeks, she gave q
series of daily exhibitions TO very large
audiences. At that time she was frequently
interviewed, and it is recalled that she was
quite intelligent and vivaciOus.
Later after she had visited foreign coun-
tries, she Teappeared here as a member of
Uffner's troupe of royal midgets. At that
time one of her fellow freaks was the dimin-
utive General Mite. The pair attracted
medical curiosity, and at the ashland
House one day distinguished company of
physicians met for the purpose of examin-
ing them. Drs. Austin Flint. A. NJ. Hamil-
ton, George s. Peters and others were In
the group. Accurate measurements were
taken of both mites, and when the figures
had been inspected all hands agreed that
there stood before them the two smallest
people of which there was any authentic
record. That the diminutiveness of the
couple may be appreciated and compared

The appointment Of ex-senator Bruce, as
recorder of deeds in the District of
Columbia. will give wide satisfaction not
only because it is a just recognition of the
colored race in the distribution of lucra-
tive posts. but because Mr.. Bruce himself
is eminently worthy of the honor. and has
shown himself capable of filling acceptably
almost any post for which the President
might select him. AS United States Sena-
tor from mississippi be won i'm "a singular
degree the favor Of both sides of the cham.
ber. The respect and consideration which
he secured here have followed him into pr-
yate life. and for the second time procured

An American superintendent Interesting
Experience with British Laborers.
New York Sun.
Mr.. Frank Hyatt. the general snperin-
tendent of Barnum IL Bailey's. Greatest
Show on Earth. arrived from London last
Tuesday and will return again on Saturday
next Mr.. Hyatt makes some very inter-
esting statements that no doubt will prove
very entertaining reading to the working
men of this country. He says that he can
Lire all the laboring men he requires at any
time in London for fifteen shillings per
week. and that applicants for work are
more numerous than the demand; that the
regular labor union price Tor skilled me-
chanics is but nine pence per hour, about
eighteen cents of American money. He
adds:
''One of the chief reasons why the work.
ing classes fail to get on over there is be-
cause they pay too much money for, and
too much attention TO. beer, and do not
work steadily enough; that between Amer
lean and English labOrers, so far an actiy
ity and neat work is concerned. there is
really no comparison.
In London the men employed came to
Olympia at q O'clock in the morning, but
dld not attempt TO do anything IN the way
of work; they just waited around inspect
ing things until o'clock, when they left
for breakfast and failed to put in an ap-
pearance until an hour later. At o'clock
work really began, and continued, without
o'clock. when l was utterly surprised to
hear the shrill notes of whistle, and to
see all my force of laborers knock OFT and
go to drinking beer which pleasant
recreation consumed just fifteen min
utes-the time allowed in that
country for that purpose. At 1915
o'clock work Was resumed. and went on
steadily enough until II o'clock, noon,
when the whistle sounded again, and five
minutes more were permitted the men to
drink more beer. AT five minutes past IL
o'clock the men went on with their work,
and continued until / o'clock, when din
ner was announced, the full hour from that
time to 2 p. NJ. being allowed for the meal.
AT 2 o'clock. sharp all hands We're again at
work, and were kept at it until $50 O'clock,
when again all hands are 'piped for beer and
a fifteen-minutes' rest, when, returning to
their places they work until 5 o'clock. At
this time five minutes more is allowed for
an indulgence In the refreshing beverage.
when work is again resumed, and continued
until O'clock, when it ceases for the day,
to be followed on the next day by the same
routine.
"The breakfast of the laborers in London
consists of bread and beer; dinner of
chop. which is purchased at butchers
and brought to some place where it is
cooked for the men. and washed down with
huge draughts of the panacea of all ills in
that country, strong beer"

President f. X. Weeks. of the National

two special cars and a motor car, and they
will be manned by competent electrlcians
all the way. Storage batteries will be used
in connection with the electric motor.
There will be no smoke, no cinders and no
coughing from the unshapely sraoke-stack,
but the train will move along steadily and
speed equal to that attained by ordinary
passenger trains. The motor car will re-
semble an ordinary cable grip-car more

This train will stop only at Chicago and
Quincy, as is thus far known. In these
two cities the cars will be transferred from

change for the better, and at the end of two
months was completely cured. My flesh was
purified, and the bone (which had been exposed
