DIGNITY WITHOUT PROFIT.
The President Of the senate Must
Struggle 70 Keen Awake.

From tie Neto York Commercial Advertiser
To preside over the Senate is one Of the
least profitable and least interesting occu-
pations public man can have, especially
when he has not the right to vote. but only
to sit as tigurehead-a symbol of author
ity. The dignity of the pos ition, of course,
makes it one that any American citizen
would be glad to occupy, but it is seldom
the desire OF either the vice president or
the president pro tenn. to occupy the chair
at all times during the session. For in
stance, If a speech Is to be delivered the
presiding officer has nothing to do
but to sit in the chair and
try to appear to pay attention and keep
himself from going TO sleep. Ingalls,, it is
said, used to stick pins in his legs now and
then ON such occasions when he felt himself
getting drowsy. 1t is customary, however,
when anything particularly dreary is on the
programme, for the presiding officer to call
upon some member TO acs as his substitute
in the chair. The elder men understand
very well that they are being made a con-
veaience of when called to preside in this
way, aud they are not usually flattered by
the distinction, but the new senator is apt
to be a ready victim for the sacrifice. The
other day there was a particularly dreary
session, droning speech being made with
~ PiospSSu VI carry OSImlHataVu, dhu
only about half dozen senators
were in their seats. A drowsy spirit
settled on the eyelids of the Vice Presi-
dent and he looked anxiously ON the floor
for some one whom he might call to take
the chair. Every time his eyes rested upon
these of a senator he knew there was look
of intelligence flashed back at HIM that said
plainly enough that he had better not apply
there. Finally his attention was directed to
Senator Moody, and with sudden great
JOY he beckoned to that gentleman. Mr..
Moody came forward with alacrity and the
Vice President very blandly asked him if
he would preside over the Senate in his
absence. Moody presided, and actually
kept wide awake, with an expression OF de-
light encircling his countenaDce during the
session. Since then he has been SO elevated
that he is quite out OF the reach of all OF his
old associa. es.

NEWTON MAY GO FREE.
A Hebeas Corpus Proceeding Begun
to Release Hiun.


Habeas corpus proceedings we're heard in
part in the city court yesterday afternoon
in the case Of John Newton, the negro
charged with shooting with intent to kill
Lille West and Boyse Campbell.
Newton, while under the influence of
LIQUOR, on the return of a colored excursion
marty from Beaufort, on the steamer st.
Nicholas. on May IL, ran amuck, shooting
Campbell in the leg and, it is claimed,
younding the West woman. On the arrival
of the steamer at Savannah Samuel Fields.
chairman of the excursion COMMITTEES.
swore out warrant in Justice McDermott's
court charging Newton with shooting with
intent to kill in South Carolina, the shoot
ing having taken place when the boat was
near Skull creek in South Carolina waters
Justice McDermott committed Newton to
iail and the day following wrote letter TO
Sheriff Reed, at Beaufort, acquainting him
with the particulars Of the shooting, and
was in the Jail of Chatham
county. Not hearing from the
Beaufort authorities, on May 16 Justice
McDermott telegraphed and received a re-
DIV from Sheriff Reed that he knew nothing
of the case and none of the charges.
William Pease, Esq, on Thursday filed
habeas corpus papers in the city court and
had officer Coleman OF Justice McDermout's
court as q witness, with the Reed telegram
and the man Campbell, who stated he did
not want to prosecute Newton, and IT was
stated that the West woman had not been
shot at all.
Solicitor General Fraser asked that the
hearing be continued until he could investi-
gate the matter, as it was all new to him.
and the court postponed the further hear
ing of the proceedings until 4 o'clock this
afternoon.
1t is claimed that Fields does not desire
to prosecute the case in South Carolina,
and as no application has been made for a
requisition counsel seeks to have Newton

CHlMNEYS.

That is a needless extrav-
agance. There are CHM

them; and he will get them

Brittle chimneys make
double appeal to a dealers
cupidity. Cost is almost
nothing and sales are con-

Tough chimneys costmore
at wholesale, but not enough
more to compel a higher
price. The dealer loses the

WHAT TO DO WITH HANDS.
Here is a New Way of Learning How
to Manage Them in Company.
From the Washinoto7a Past

w Aa-eA06 4AOAA Ala SOLhPeAAys
From the WASHINGTON Post.
Few people are thoroughly at ease about
the disposition of their hands in company, II
said a teacher of the art OF gesture. "And
yet there is very simple thing that may
be done to get rid Of that disagreeable con-
seriousness of the members which gives rise
to the difficulty. You see, the hands are
far more highly educated in this age of
mechanical civilization than they have ever
been before Ii may almost be said that
the brain has found its way to the ends of
the fingers-thatAt these extremities have
come to possess an inherent intelligence.
For this reason.the attention is SO fixed by
habit upon the hands that they feel awk-
ward, just as any other part of the body
will do IL you think particularly about it.
sin order to be graceful in the disposal of
your hands, II is only necessary to get rid
of consciousness about them, and you may
accomplish this TO a surprising extent by a
very simple gymnastic process. Let them
hang Imply and wiring them as violently
as possible for five minutes, say. This will
render them unconscious to great extent,
so that you will not be disturbed for some
time after by the excess of feeling in them.
Consequently, while the effect lasts, you
will find yourself at ease about your hands,
and will have no trouble about their man
agement.
"You will be astonished, if you try it,
to find how admirably it works. l have
recommended it to hundreds of people, and
they have uniformly found it successful
Do it once every day for month, and you
will discover that by the mere practice of
the habit, your embarrassment in this re-
gard has been greatly diminished. The
time to perform the operation, obviously, is
just before you enter room full of COM
paDy, though it will not do very well to be
found wringing our hands in the vestibule
of a house to which you have been invited,
or engaged Ia what may appear to be a
frantic exhibition Of grief in the reception

Left $4,000 Under the Bedding.


On going to bed at the Palace hotel late
Monday night A. d. Westfeld, a wealthy
resident OF New York, placed $4,000 in
bills under the mattress Of his bed, and
when he arose Tuesday morning shortly
before the departure Of the overland train
by the southern route, he forgot this money
in the haste of his preparations for leaving
in company with party of acquaintance
with whom he expected to make the over
land trip. He had just crossed the gang
plank OF the ferry boat with his friends
when he suddenly turned pale and ex-
claimed: "My God! forgot something.
He rushed back, jumped into the carriage
and ordered the driver TO hurry him to the
Palace. When he reached the hotel he
dashed up to his room. No servant had yet
entered it, and all was as when he left. He
quickly turned up the mattress and there
was his money right where he had put it.
His satisfaction quite overbalanced his
annoyance>at missing his train and friends,
and be did not object bit at waiting for
the evening train, which he took alone.

The German Elections.

Elections were held throughout Germany
on Thursday for members of the Reichstag,
The returns are not all in yet, and second
ballots will be necessary in many places, so
that the exact political complexion of the
next Reichstag will not be determined for
some time yet. All that is perfectly clear at
the present time is that tremendous vote
was polled and that the Socialists have made
surprising gains. The gains of the latter are
not SO surprising, however, to those who
have kept the run of German politics as they
VIII generally appear. People who have
watched the moves Of the German govern
ment have discovered abundant evidence
that the Socialists were getting to be a
power OF sufficient strength to excite anx-
iety, If not alarm, in the rulers of the Empire.
Not many years ago they were the OBJ jects Of
stern repression. But on that they seemed
to thrive. and recently. therefore, the goy-
eminent has changed its tactics, and has
been conciliating them, or trying to head
them off, by adopting some of their ideas.
BismaTck's scheme for workingman's in
surance was one move in this direction, and
the Emperor's recent rescripts in which be
came very near subscribing to their most ad-
vanced doctrines was long stride the same
way. Both Of these acts were unmistaka-
bic admissions on the part of men who had
the means Of knowing that tie Socialist
movement had assumed giant proportions.
The elections Of Thursday showed that
these admissions were not mistaken.
The purpose of the Emperor's rescripts
has been the subject of much difference of
opinion. Some have been inclined to accept
them as sincere and as inspired by real
desire to improve the condition Of the work.
ingmen. But more common view has been
that they were simply political manauvre
on the eve Of an election to capture the So
cialist vote, or a large part of it. II the
latter were the purpose it has ingloriously
failed, for the Socialists will have double
