A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common of late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curicus incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise

knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. Thu unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for a law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception, for what bet

THE SENATE'S SECRETS.
Hereafter the Solons VIII Theoretically
Seal Their Chambers.

The Senate in executive session yesterday
evening adopted new set Of rules so far as the
press gallery is concerned, and now the news
paper man will be incontinently fired out Of
his den behind the gallery whenever the Sem
ate thinks dark-lantern session is the proper
thing. Heretofore it was regarded
as sufficient to shut and lock
the two doors which separate the
rear Of the press gallery and the press lobby,
where the workers do most Of their writing.
What the Senate expects to accomplish by
this change no one seems to know Re-
porters generally are not dull OF hearing
but it was never charged that one of them
could hear through four feet of solid wall or
could catch the waves Of sound which might
float through two heavy doors--one Of iron
and two inches thick, the other OF wood an
inch and a half thick and covered with terra
Gotta baize.
TO BE ALL ALONE.
In future the Senate wing will be emptied of
all save Senators and trusted employees, SO that
it will be impossible for the anxious Newspaper
men to attack Senators a. they 60 into the
chamber or 60 out.
This custom was a very embarrassing one.
for 1t laid Senators open to the Suspicion that
they were giving something away which should
be kept secret. Now the reporters and CORE
senatorial homes--as many Of them have done
for years-and there in the privacy of an inner
room receive the executive information often
SO freely given.
The doorkeepers are also required to move
their chairs and their persons further away
from the holy OF holes. Up to the present
they have been allowed to stay within six feet
of the doors. but now they must move to q
minimum limit Of 10 feet On the upper
floor this rule will, in several instances. push
door keepers into committee rooms ON tine
opposite sides of the corridors.

Of finding out how the newspaper men '.get
