There seems TO be q growing hostility
in many quarters to the term woman"
and a disposition to substitute the word
lady" for IL almost universally. The
usage, indeed, is not always uniform or
consistent. There is an organization in
Illinois which calls itself 1.-The Won.
ans Alliance" name which is simple
and appropriate; but we read in Chi-
cago paper that at n recent meeting the
secretary was directed TO prepare "A petit
ton asking the appointment OF a lady
superintendent and n "lady physician"
for the wonan's department" at the
bridewell. We can at least congrat-
ulate the alliance that they did not say

why not also "A ladies Alliance And
why is IL we have no Demands for ''lady

fectly honorable one. There is nothing
in IL to offend. Our mother Eve

family that looked after the bread and

feared that many OF those at the
present day that insist on their title to
the designation OF lady have quite over

Later on il was nsurped by the nobility

AN EXTRA SESSION.
Report That Congress Will
Shortly Be Convened.
President Harrison Will Neither Deny
Nor Confirm the RumOr.
a Decision Granting Pensions to Prisoners
Of War Who Joined the Rebels
in Order to Escape.
Special to THE MORNING CALI

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Mail and Ex-
press has a Washington special saying: 1t
is stated on good authority that President
Harrison will call an extra session of Con-
gress ON November 18th to consider and pass
the Federal Election Bill.
WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-The "extra ses-
sion" rumor has again been set afoot, and
is circulated widely, despite an array of facts
that ought to convince any one of its empti-
ness. The date for the assembling of this
supposititious extra session is given as Tues
day, November 11th. 1t is hardly probable
that the President will call an extra session
while he is away, yet that is what he must
do if Congress is to assemble on the 11th
pr0X., for it must convene within thirty
days after the call. Another phase of the
story is that an extra session will be called
If the Democrats should chance to be vic
tOri0us in the November elections. These
elections take place on November 4th, so that
if an extra session was called on the day
following it would be several days later in
assembling than the regular session. There
are no Senators in the city at this time, and
the existence of any responsible person who
knows there will be an extra session is to
be doubted.
OTTUMwA Qowa). Oct. 9.-When an As
sociated Press representative informed Presi-
dent Harrison of the report current in the
East that lie cOnlemplates calling special
session of Congress to consider the Federal
Election Bill, the President said he was
sorry he could give no expression OH the
subject, as it would be improper. Secretary
Halford insists that no such decision has
been arrived at, but whether the subject was
under consideration or not he would not say.

party of jacksonville mechanics were
at work ON the MatanZas River some months
ago raising sunken dredge boat. They
lived on beard of the big lighter on which
they worked in n small house on the deck.
One noon their bill of fare was somewhat
strengthened by some wild turkey eggs
which had been found by some of the party
while hunting on shore. After the hungry
engineers had destroyed heavy dinner
they left their dinng-room and returned to
work. The doors and windows were all
open, and the cook did not clear off the
table for some time.
In this interval large water moccasin of
nearly six feet crawled on board the lighter.
and wriggled into the dining room through
the open door. In his prospecting tour he
climbed the table leg, and here, with a
snakes fondness for eggs, he went in for a
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay alone by
plate and the rest were in a dish on the
other side of the table. In the center stood
a large water jug, and right here the willy
serpent slipped up. After swallowing the
lonesome egg he started for the main supper
and in his artlesS manner crawled through
the handle of the jug. 1t was rather a tight
fit, and he had to stop about half way
through ON account of the egg, which en-
larged him somewhat. So, stretching for
ward, he bolted another egg, and thereby
fastened himself.
On each side of the jug handle was an egg
on his inside, and he could move neither
backward nor forward, practically riveted
in position. He was soon found in this
peculiar situation by the cook, who speedily
killed him.
The reporter WAS shown the skin of the
snake with crease still in the middle from
the tremendous pressure, and he was also
permitted to gaze on the jug whose handle
proved so fatal.-FlOrida Times U MON.

POLICEMEN ON TRIAL.
The Attack on the People of Tipperary Ventil-
eted in Court.

ated in Court.
DUBLIN, Oct. 9.-The hearing against the
police for assaults upon number of per-
sons at the Courthouse in Tipperary on the
occasion of the opening of the trial of Dill
Ion and O'Brien commenced at that place
to-day. Timothy Healy opened the case for
Harrison, member of the House of Com
mons, who was severely injured.
Healy declared that on the occasion in
question for every adult in the crowd out
side the Courthouse there were four armed
policemen. He told of the assault on Har-
risOn. The latter then took the stand and
testified that there were fewer than fifty
civilians outside the Courthouse when he
arrived. while there was a large force of
policemen on each side of the gates. The
policemen used great and unnecessary viO-
lence. Colonel Caddell addressed the police,
saying something to the effect that they
must go in out of that and not make dis
turbance. This command not being obeyed
witness asked the policemen why they dis
obeyed orders. Then the assault was made
upon him. During the disturbance he saw
a constable strike and fell Sheehy. The
civilians threw no stones and struck no
blows except in parrying blows from the po-
licemen'S batons.
In opening the case Healy asked that the
ordinary justices should be replaced by five
resident magistrates of the bench. The
application was refused. While p. OBrien
was giving his evidence Healy questioned
him regarding the photographs he had
taken. The Presiding Magistrate ruled
this was irrelevant. heated discussion
ensued, at the end of which Healy told
the complainants and their friends left the
courtroom, and after a refusal of request
to adjourn on account of the constitution of
the bench the summons was withdrawn.

An Incident in the Career of the New Gov
ernor Of Arizona
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The appointment
of John n. Irwin of Keokuk, Iowa, as Gov
ernor of Arizona few days ago recalls an
incident in his experience as Governor of
Idaho under President Arthur. He was
called home by death in his family and re-
maiEed in Keokuk several months settling
up the estate. The Treasury oil the United
States sent him his salary regularly, but the
Governor declined it, saying he had not
earned any money from the Government
while at home about his private affairs, and
sent the checks back to Washington. This
presented new question for the Treasury
officials. No one ever made such COM
plant before. They did not know what to
do with the money. Finally it was placed
TO the credit of the Conscience Fund. This
made the old Governor indignant. and he
forthwith forwarded TO the department an
emphatic protest. He was unwilling that
any money which he sent to Washington
should be placed in the same fund with that
surrendered by repentant thieves. Then
the amount was placed to the credit of the
public debt of the United States. His is
the only case of the kind on record.

Russell S. Cole of Company E. First New
York Veteran Cavalry, a decision that de-
fines the status of prisoners of war who
had enlisted in the rebel service in order
to escape Imprisonment and returned to their
