Bible Since the woman question came up he has
been enjoying what would be called in latter nine
teenth century parlance-a positive boom.
II one-quarter of the other good injunctions in
the good book received one-quarter the attention
Of St. Pauls on the woman question, and were
lived up to, what glorious age this would be.
KATE FIELDS Washington is brisk and has the
rustic Of freshly laundried skirts about it. There
is a delightful appreciation Of superiority in those
it compliments by letting in to its pages, and also
lavish layer Of a substance vulgarly called
"t.ffy," which is essentially feminine and
"tact-y." The latter word is improvised for the
expression of what Kate Fields Washington is.
1t will succeed.
THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGNsoN advances the
idea that there are two classes Of women who are
opposed to woman advancement from her state
Of subsection. One is the schoolgirls and the
other is the home woman who rules every one,
husband included, with rod Of iron. Mr.. Hig-
ginson forgets one class-they are the strong
minded, conservative women, who have no opinion
of the capabilities Of their sisters and are sure the
world would rush onward to perdition il they were
allowed voice in affairs.

WOMAN.

ose Hartwick Thorpe, in Ladies' Home Journal
Aqueen in her beautiful garments,
She stands on the rampants to. day,
To herald the dawn and the cerements
OF her past are folded away.
She stands with the prophets and sages;
She speaks, and her tongue is flame
Leaping forth from fires which for ages
Have smouldered In silence and shame
Her feet have come up from the valleys
They are climbing the mountains OF light,
AT her call the world 'rouses and rallies.
Bearing arms in the battle of right.
She treads on the serpent that stung her.
And grinds out Its life meath her heel;
She grapples with sorrows that wrung her,
Converting her woe into veal.
Made strong through her slaughtered affection
She comes, with her sons by her side,
An angel of power and protection,
The beacon light, leader and guide.
No longer timorous being,
To crlnge, and to cry meath the rod.
But quick to divine and far seeing,
She hastens the purpose of God.

Secretary Proctor's Sleigh Wrecked No
Member of His Family Hurt.
Secretary Proctor received quite a severe
shock today. He was sitting at his desk shortly
before noon when a telephone message was re-
ceived at the department that his team of
horses. hitched to large double sleigh had
run away while on the avenue and the occu-
pants, Mrs. Proctor and her two sons. were
thrown out and badly injured. The Secretary
hastened down town to find tho story only
partly true.
Mrs Proctor and the sons had left the sleigh
to go into a store when the horses became
frightened and dashed off. The sleigh was
overturned and badly smashed. The driver,
Vim. johnson, was severely bruised about his
chest. and for time was rendered uncon-
scious. The horses were not hurt.
There seems to be fatality about the horses
of Secretaries of War. About two years or SO
ago Secretary Endicott's team, waiting for him
at the basement entrance OF the War DEPART
ment. became frightened ut "A piece of paper

ward the stables between 18th and 18th. At
the corner of 18th and q the pole struck tree

being sprained.
Some months ago Secretary Proctor had a
scare about a runaway. A report reached him
that bis team-a fine pair of black horses-had
run away on the avenue and his family had
been badly hurt and taken into a drug store.

horses had. in truth, run away on the avenue
ana the people hurt. but IL was not his team,
which was out that day.

THE SILVER POOL CHARGES.

The Committee on Rules VIII Probably Re
port on MIR. Dockery's Resolution.
A final conclusion with respect to the Dock
cry resolution providing for an investigation Of
charges that Representatives and Senators
WERE interested in silver pool will probably
be reached by the committee on rules soon
after the holidays are over. The commit
tee, wien last the subject was con-
sidered. discussed The advisability of
sumnoning few witnesses to be
Intercepted under o..th before deciding what
reportto maze to the Honse ON the resolution.
1t WAS thought that If regularly suDpenaed the
correspondents of the 1T. LOWS GoJt-D vnD-
Graf. in which the charge If legislative silver
pool was originally made, might be willing
10 make some more tangible statements
than they had published or had been

Speaker was favorable TO this course as he has
doubts OF the p-opriety of investigating charges
that 10 aOt BAKE specific and definite ailega-
tioDs with somewhat 9; cireums.antiar detail
and thought the committee rules should
have more of basis than the simple
newspaper publication upon which
to order an investigation. Messrs.
Blount and McMillin. the democratic men,
bers thought the committee would be justified
in ordering an investigation and Mr.. Mckinley
also Of opinion that an investigation ought
to be had. A decision TO report Mr.. Dockery'
resolution to the House with favorable recon-
incubation had almost been reached when the
shipping bill and other matters came MP and
delayed final de termination of what to do
with the resolution.

A Tent of the Farmers Alliance in This

Very few people outside Of the Farmers ALI
ance are aware of the fact tina: that order has
an alliance in working order in this city. Tho
local membership is not large. for the number
of farmers in the District is necessarily small
and az fact there would be no organization
here were it not for the fact that numerous
national alliance officers are located here This
tent in the great agricultural camp is known as
Capital Alliance, No. %, and is under the juris-
diction which controls the state of Maryland
Joseph A. Mudd is president and J. A. Dun
ming IL treasurer. The qualifications which a
man must possess and the disaualitications of
which he has to rid himself will prevent the or
der from growing here. Farmers farm labor
ers. country mechanics, country physicians and
country preachers alone are eligible, and these
must all be men of good moral character. In
fideis, merchants lawyers and all persons con-
nected with or employed by corporations Of
any kind are shut out.
Capital Alliance meets twice in each month at
the Office of the National Economist, on North

PERFORMED THEIR DUTY-wHY IT IS NECEs
sARY Fer SENATOR'S TO REPORT EVERY THIRr
DAY FOE PRAYEEs AND INSPECTION.
The Senate met for prayer this morning
The chaplain prayed for three minutes and two
minutes more were consumed in reading the
journal of the last session.
There is theory that the purpose of this
meeting each third day is to keep track Of the
Senators that they may not forget their more
serious duties as members of the greatest de-
Lucrative body on earth and enter too deeply
into the celebration of the holidays. 1t is be.
lieved that the necessity of reporting every
three days fer prayer and Inspection will keep
them in pretty good shape for the regular ses.
sions after New Years.

smile lighted his face and he sat down to

five most picturesque and distinguished look

when Teller. CullaDl, Casey Davis, Faulkner,
Pasco. Morrill, and Wilson of Iowa entered.
Half minute before II the Vice President took
his seat and Paddock entered just as the Gavel
fell at noon. The chaplain arose and the voice
of PRAYER called the three 'chiefest' demo-
cratic leaders-Carlisle. German and Harris
from the cloak room. and they stood shoulder
to shoulder, with heads bowed, while the bene-
diction was pronounced.
THE JOURNAL READ.
If MIR. Hoar was not satisfied with the size OF
the attendance he must have been gratified by
the individual appearance of the seventeen
Senators surrounding him. After casting a
glance OF quick perception over the diSnifed

Detective Horne today related his experience
last night in the snow when he was trying to
get home. It was about IL o'clock when
he got on car near tho Baltimore
and Potomac depot. The horses managed
to get along with some difficulty until
Maryland avenue was reached and the
car jumped the track. The officer got
off and assisted others to push the car. Some
time was wasted in working that way after he
had paid his fare and when the horses had
gained sufficient strength the driver turned
their heads in the opposite direction and left
the detective and another passenger standing
in the snow. When another car came along
the officer boarded it and told the conductor

ductor was OF the same opinion but he re-
