sons sat at breakfast. A big Persian
rug partly covered the polished floor !;
there were sash curtains of China silk
on the windows; the table was mira

viands; bowl of violets stood on the
low, tiled mantel, and over on broad

MY love, what is the matter?'

~You are i'll, Augusta, or you are
worried. Which is it,"
Mrs. Kesterson rolled between her
slim white fingers one of the ribbons
OF her old-rose morning gown.
~I'm w-worried" slfe replied, with
quite a pathetic tremble in her voice
"Well?" queried her lord.
Il haven't any money!" broke out
Mrs. Kesterson.
Philemon stared.

price. L thought ii would be swind-

pay so much more, if / should happen
to need some in the future. Don't you
see, love?"
Mr.. Kesterson put his hands in his
pockets and leaned back in his chair.
He had not been married long enough
to make him either callous or irli able
regarding requests for money.

Mr.. Kesterson laughed. Now. why

Mrs. Kesterson. Il want n hat. A

Philemon smiled benignantly on the
dimpled wild-rose face across the
table, and thought it would lie pecul

MIR. Kesterson smiled more broadly.
He rose. He kissed his wife.
Money is very scarce, my dear, but
I'll see--Tll see" And he shrugged
himself into his light spring oyercoat
and betook himself downtown.
If not exactly an old mans darling,
Mrs. Kesterson was the adored wife of

heart warm.

THE FINANCE BILL.
The Committee Agrees to Report
Senator Shepman'S Measure

Inc committee Agrees to Report
Senator Sherman'S Measure.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The finance
committee of the senate has just agreed
to report the financial bill introduced
yesterday by Senator Sherman. The
only amendments made in committee
are said to be in plraseology. The
chairman of the finance committee, SEN
ator Morrill,, was opposed to some of the
prop, s tons contained in the bill, and,
with Senator Sherman. reserved the
right to vote for the restoration of the
2 per cent bond clause when the bill is
considered in the senate. Senator His
cock reserved the right to vote
relative to supplying the deficiency i'm
national bank circulation, which pro-
poses to authorize the issue of original
treasury notes therefor if silver bullion
cannot be purchased. AS for the Dem
ocratlc members of the committee, they
reserved the right to oppose the whole
bill, lnaSmnuch as they had no proper
opportunity to examine it,but consented
10 the report or the measure, SO that no
yea and nay vote was necessary. The
abSenteeS at the meeting were Senators
Aldrich and Jones, of Nevada. 1t is the
purpose Of tile committee to report the
Dill at the earliest moment practicable.
and Senator Sherman has been charged
with that duty. Senator Aldrich re-
serves the right to advocate the reten-
ton of the bond clause, and also, like
Senator HiScock, to oppose the PROPOSE
ton to issue treasury notes to make
good the deficiency i'll the national bank

Improved Water Power.

With much improved water power,
the mills ground somewhat stronger
last week, says the Northwestern
Miller. The aggregate output for the
week was 1865 barrels, averaging
22,6l4 barrels daily-agalnst 800 bar
rels the week before, and 152.56O bar
rels for the corresponding time in 1889,
and 64.500 in 1888. The water power is
still very fair, though the major portion
of the current product is ground by
steam. There were seventeen mills in
operation to-day, and they were grind
ing at the rate of about $4,000 barrels
per twenly-four hours. Higher wheat
stimulated quite active trading in -four
during the closing half of last week.
and sales of patents both at home and
abroad were large.

COMBATING ALIENS.
Substitute Reported for the Alien
Land Act.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Representa-
tive Oates, (Alabama) with the author
ity of the house committee on the judi
ciary, to-day reported a substitute for
the bill reported some time ago entitled
the alien land act. The substitute diff
fers from the bill now on the calendar,
in that it is made to apply not only to
persons who are aliens. but to ''any
firm, company or corporation, composed
in whole or in part of aliens, except
railroad corporations" and that five
years are given aliens within which to
dispose of lands they buy in at foreclos-
ure sales in order to protect fOrtgage or
other interests they may have in the
property.
