One bill, which was passed without OBJ.
lection, provides for the administration OF
oaths i'll certain cases where there has
been doubt OF legal power.
Another, which gave rise to discussion,
deprives judges OF the United States courts
of the authority to give an opio ion upon
questions OF fact. In nearly all the states
the rule prevails that the judge can not
give to the jury any opinion upon the
facts or on the weight Of evidence. The

decided in several cases that contrary
rule prevails in the courts of the United
States and that the powers of these
courts in this respect are not controlled
by the statutes of the state forbidding
judges to express any opinion upon the
facts.
The judiciary committee is of the opin.

States should not be permitted, in submit.

ported the bill, which came before the

We, the Democratic suffrage women,
hope that the Republicans will now pass

without representation is tyranny" We
want this repression to last long enough
for them to feel most keenly what 1t is to
be classed with "lmbeciles" and "crmi-
nals," and when they come respectfully
asking for redress we want the Republi-
cans to reply: "We have idealzed the
Democratic party. 1t is the conservator
OF religion and purity, and We fear to allow
it to participate in elections because it may
lose these crowning attributes"

Mr. Dorsey Is quoted as having said
That he would be willing to accept The

may not. 1t depends on the

NOT A LIFE OF ROSES.
Special Postal Delivery Messenger Talks
of His Trinls.

4 Special Postal Delivery Messenger Talks
of His Trinls.
The life of the special postal delivery mes
senger is not one of roses. He gets cents
for each special delivery letter he delivers,
but there is not great deal of money in it.
A typical messenger rode out on a Fifth
avenue car about II o'clock last night. He
was bewailing his hard luck. He
said: 1--WE had two soaks tonight. Don't
know what soak is? Well, soak is when
you have to carry letter out TO Troy Hill,
where was tonight, and then another one
to Ellsworth avenue, where I am going
now. It'll cost me more for car fare than
I'll make on these two trips. A 'pudden' is
letter addressed to a house close
to the Office, that you can deliver
in a few minutes. The little fellers get
the 'puddens,' and US big fellers Che was
about 16 years old) get all the soaks. Some
times we get car ticket or money from the
people we deliver letters to at night, and
one man always gives US dollar.
DO we make much? Nav. Last month
1 drew $40 so, and it cost me Sc for car fare.
People think we have a snap, because we
only work eight hours, but il fellow gets
three or fonr soaks, and has to walk because
he>hasn't got car fare. he's just dead when
he gets through"
Here the boy swung off the car, and the
gloom on his face made the night still
darker.

THOROUGH VACCINATION.
II You Do Not Get the Constitutional Effects
You Should Try Again.

II You Do Not Get the Constitutional Effects
You Should Try Again.
Boston Herald.l
Here is the history of a typical case of
vaccination. In two or three days after the
implantation of the virus there is slight
itching near the point of vaccination. and,
on examining this with a magnifying glass,
small vesicles can be detected. About the
fourth day some constitutional symptoms
may be expected slight fever, some head
ache, little dIarrhea, and, If the nervous
system is in an irritated condition, convul-
sions not uncommonly make their appear
ance. The vesicle now increases in size,
and if it Is punctured, there will exude
thin, serous-like fluid.
The constitutional mptoms now begin to
diminish, but the local disturbances in
crease. The arm becomes not and painful,
and the glands in the axilla (armpiD are
sore. The day week following the vaccina-
tion the yesicles have attained to their full
size, and the areola (red circles) begin to
appear. If now the vesicle be opened, a
thick, clear fluid, slightly tenacious, will
ooze out. This is the vaccine lymph. On
the eighth day alter vaccination, the vesicies
begin to retrograde toward the pustular
stage. The pustules now begin to dry up,
and the inflammation and swelling OF the
arm gradually diminish. In some instances,
at about the tenth day, there is a slight
fever, which corresponds to the secondary
fever Of smallpox.
AT about the twenty-6rst day the crust
may be expected to fall of, leaving reddish
spot, which, after some little time, will have
the characteristic appearance of the vaccine
scars. 1t sometimes happens that though
there may have been a good vesicle, still
there is no scar. Scarifcation gives much
better scar than any other method of vacci-
nation. The constitutional disturbance is
the most important part of the disease, and
no vaccination can be considered perfect
where it is wanting. In one instance. at
least, it has been known to produce
delirium.
