Good Speaking, Fine Music
and Plenty to Eat.

The entertainment to be given
at the Ferris Grand on Saturday
night, December 13, under the
auspices of the A. o. U. W. order,
of this city, will be frst-class in
every particular. The best speak
ers and most able advocates of the
principles of the order have been
engaged to address the audience,
and it is hoped that heads OF FAM
lilies and men of business will at.
tend and learn of the benefits to
be derived and the blessings that
have been scattered over our State
through this grand order. No order
is doing more for charity and for
home than the Ancient Order OF
United Workmen. Everybody in
the land should feel an interest in
its prosperity. The entertainment
is free to everybody and we want
to see the Grand packed to its ut.
most that night. The best OF
music, vocal and instrumental, will
be rendered at intervals during the
evening. After the speaking and
musical entertainment delicious
supper will be served on the stage,
for which 25 cents will be charged
The supper is under control and
management of experts in that
line, and we look for supert
meal. The whole thing, from be-
ginning to end-speaking, singing
and supports all A. o. U. w.,
with simply the object of having
social time. The members of the
order here say they will try te
make visiting brethren from othel
A. o. U. W. lodges as happy al
they ever were in their lives
Remember, there is no admission
fee to the speaking or music par
of the programme. The tables OF
the stage will be so arranged tina
200 persons can be accommodated
at one time.

sr connection of nearly fourteen
ears with US in the study of Gods

as a model Christian. By his

ssociated, and his manliness in all

you no harm !"

Janauschek, the justly celebrat-
ed tragedienne, will appear here
very shortly. One cannot speak
too highly of this great actress.
Janauschek has a grand reputation.
She has made it in Europe and
America. AS an exponent of the
highest class of dramatic art she is
incompatible. Janauschek pos
sesses what is priced most of an
by actresses of renown, a truly
magnificent voice. She seems to
be also imbued with a personal
magnetism with which. in her
grandest and most passionate in
terpretations, she seems to hypno.
tie her audience. Janauschek
has always considered her art first,
her self last. Through doing so
she has won her superb success.
Her coming here should one of the
most notable events of the season.

The Force Bill.

Sc latcf Quay caused sensation in the
Senate yesterday evening by introducing q
! resolution to postpone certain legislation,
| including the force bill, until next session,
and Inning the tariff debate to August 80.
| It is said to be the result of compromise
with the democrats. The resolution pro-
poses to amend the rules of the Senate By
! providing:
First That dulirg the present session the Sen.
ate will not take up for consideration any legis.a.
! tive business other than the tariff BILL general
appropriation bills, bills rotating to public build
irgs and public lands, pensions and Senate or
| coacurfe resolutions.
Second That the consideration of all other bills
shall he postponed until the next session, and
Third. That tho vote on the tariff bill and the
amendments thereto shall be taken on the 3Oth of
August vt two ociock p m, without further de-
bate until the consideration of the bill and amend
ments b. completed.
The resolution went over ill today. This
is said to be the result Of ~ agreement
reached at conference between Senator
Qd.y, representing The republicans, and
SsDator German, representing the demo
| c,at-, but whather q sufficient number OF re
publicaus will follow Mr. Qlsy's lead to
| make 1t effectua remains 10 be seen. There
| Il a general feeliag that the q nay resc ution
will be adopted. although they may be some
sharp political practice behind it. II the
@ lay compromise goes through, Congress
,noud be ready to atj ,urn early In Ssptem-
Der, il not sooner.
Ia reference to the resolutions the New
York Sun says: "B1ss @ nay he's taken the
reiDs in the Senate, aud mas boldly made &
CON promse arrangement with the demo
Gratis by which the tariff and other impor-
tsnt measures will be passed. and Msssrs
Hoar, Spooner, and the other bloody-shrt
Senators left weeping for .her lost cause.
Heroic measures are to be adopted by the
| republican Senators to reach vote upon
the tariff bill at an early day, snd also TO
dispose of the River and Harbor Appropri-
atoms bills. The republican side of the
chamber has been polied, and it is definite
Iy learned that the force bill has no show
whatever OF being p ,ssed. An arrangement
has therefore been made under which Sena-
tor Quay, ecsing for large number of the
republicans, and Senator German for the
democrats. have agree upon an order of bus
mess which provides for the po5tpcnement
of the Federal Elections bill uatil next De-
cember."
