THE LAST THR0E.
TIE SECOND SESSION OF REEDS IN!QUlIY
MEETS TO-DAY.
The Routine Business That IS Proposed-The Prtsl-
dents Message Will be the First Thing
Lodge Will Offer a New Immi-
grafton Measure.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November 3d.
At noon tomorrow the second session Of
the Fifty-frSt Congress will begin, As
soon rs the Senate and House are called
to order joint committee will be ap-
pointed to notify the President that
Congress is ready to do business, and in
response his annual message will i'm
mediately be sent to the capitol and
laid before both houses. The reading
of the message will probably consume
the legislative day of Monday, follow
ing the introduction of new Congress
men into Office. No definite pro-
grammc has been arranged in
either house. The Senate will prob
ably resume consideration of the bill
providing for the transfer of the rev.
enue marine service to the Navy De-
partmeLt. If the calendar routine is
followed the Edmunds land court bill
may next be- considered, and should
Senator Blair reach the capital during
the week he will doubtless make an
effort to secure action upon the House
bill for adjustment Of eight hour claims.
There is Il strong impression, however,
that there will be consultation OF Re
publican Senators early in the week to
consider an order Of business, and the
result may be 4 wide departure from
the routine programme.
In the House the pension appropria-
tion bill will be- reported at once by the
Committee on Appropriations, and
pushed to final disposition. The Demo-
cratic members have prepared them
selves to take advantage of the latitude
allowed in general debate on an appro-
pratiOn bill. 1t is possible that an
urgent deficiency bill, covering deficits
in the current years appropriation for
the census and other bureaus, may also
be presented to the House during the
week. If any time remains the Com
mittee on Rules will allot it TO commit
tees in charge of such important pend
ing measures rs the majority may de-
terminc to give precedence.
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, will in
troducc tomorrow in the House bill
to regulate immigration. The first see
tion of the bill excludes from the United
States any person who is obnoxious IN
any way to the existing laws of the
United States, including what is known
as the ''alen contract labor law. The
main point, however, Of the proposed
bill is in the succeeding sections which
require that every immigrant shall OBJ
tain certificate from some consul or
diplomatic representative Of the United
States, and that without such cerfiii-
cate he cannot land in this country.
The purpose of the bill is two fold.
1t is intended first to regulate immigra-
tion, and second TO restrict 1t by eXclud-
ing all undesirable persons. 1t seeks
to shut out the diseased, the pauperS,
those liable to become a public charge
and the illiterate, as well as those rs al
ready provided by law, who are hostile
to thA government and the constitution
of the United States.

BUSINESS METHODS
Which Seem Like "A Continuous Scheme of
Robbery of Creditors.


CHICAGO, November 30.-Pretty Mrs.
Prettyman, Whose husbands bank sus-
pended business week ago, will prob
ably fail to keep the -, 800 which he
gave her out of the hands of the cred
itorS. draft for that amount is now
on its way to Mrs. Prettyman's mother,
Mary O. Young, having been sent by
Mrs. Prettyman yesterday. She secur-
ed draft from the Metropolitan Ma
tional Bank on the First National Bank
of New York. but this morning an in
iusction was issued against the Metro
pOlitan Bank, restraining il and its
agent from cashing the draft. The as
Signee to-day began suit against the
Corn Exchange Bank to secure Sl2, 900
worth of the assets of the Prettyman
bank held by it.
The hearing before Judge Prender-
CAST was continued, and ii. IL. Bishop,
Prettyman'S partner in the lumber bus
mess, was on the stand. He created a
sensation by telling, with the utmost
sang froid. how he had purchased vari-
Gus pieces Of real estate with the money
drawn from w. l.. Prettyman X Com
pany, and how, shortly before the fail
ure, he sold two houses worth Sl4, 200
to Mr.. StinSon, Treasurer of the North
Division Lumber Company, for n0mi-
nal consideration, StinSon at once turn
ing them over to Bishops wife for a
like amount.

1t is evident that this place has be-
come a center for Christian and philan-
thropic work. Last night the hall was
agaih packed with eager listeners com
posed mostly of non-church-going
people. who gave good attention to
Mr.. SawycrS 80 minute talk on the
subject Of Decision, as well a the
music which was rendered in most ex-
cellent and effective manner by Messrs.
Il. II. Parker Schafcr, Dunn and Nes-

new selections from Mr.. Ira d. Sankcy

IL is believed that much good has
been and can be- accomplished by this
special effort. which is entirely unsec-
tartan in character, and for the people.
The success OF the past decidedly
warrants the continuance OF this good
work and it is hoped that a generous
support and sympathy will be received
from all. Meetings continue As hereto

ted who is not exactly in good stand
ing in the royal opinion, the Queen be-
ing apt to draw lines omewhat rigidly.
Her Majesty heard of the fact recently,
probably through one of her chamber
women, who, by the way, all of them
solons of nobility, and she was very
angry. She called the Prince TO task,
and aristocratic gossip has IL that words
were not spared in chastising His Royal
Highness; that the latter took it all
very coolly and respectfully, and that,
after leaving the maternal presence, he
deliberately wrote note to the lady'S
husband, inviting them both to spend
the evening with them.
This was also carried to the Queen,
and now Albert Edward and his mother
are said to be on very ceremonial terms.
The attentions Of the Prince to the lady
in question, and the mplaisancy of the
husband, are the talk Of the people
posted on such subjects, and are viewed
with regret by those who hoped that
the future King of England had settled
down to be an example of domestic pro-
prety.
The Prince was present, last night, at
the installation of his son, the Duke of
Clarence, as Provincial Grand Master of
the Berkshire MaSods. The young
Duke, like his father, is thoroughly de-
voted to the mystic fraternity and very
popular with the Order.

THINGS IN THE WORLD.


wesley VI. r.. tHuIcns
Rev. Ash preached to an unusually
large congregation Sunday morning,
taking the following for his text:
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by
the will of God to the Saints. which are
at Ephesus. ."-Ephe. t., IL.
These words set before Us three Of
the greatest things in human life. one
OF the greatest is to be a disciple Of
Christ, messenger, as Paul said, Of
the most high God. Paul had habit
OF presenting the Gospel in fascinating
terms
Paul was a messenger OF the greatest
parsonage, the ruler Of the universe, Of
heaven and earth; he was the bearer Of
an important message. aS such he re-
ceived attention and respect. as the
angels message to the shepherds and
JonahS to the Nincvites.
The Apostle Paul delivered the high
est message, pardon to the sinner. free
dom To the slave, salvation To the lost,
and life eternal TO the dying; he was Il
messenger by the will Of God. Many go
out in the name Of Christ. but not ac-
cording to His will. We cannot be
saints unless we are wholly conSecrated
to God That like the martyrs, whose
souls went up TO eternal glory mid
fire and smoke. These are the highest
characters in the world. They were
conSecrated to the truth, and loved
God, made holy by faith. All moral eX-
cellcncc in man j. derived in this way.
History and the Bible attest this fact.
Man is not necessarily a creature Of cir
cumStances. These saints resided in
EpheSus, the chief city of Asia Minor,
a stronghold Of paganiSm. The temple OF
Diana, one Of the seven wonders Of the
world. was there: but in this stronghold
of paganiSm there could be- saints. Man
can be a Christian anywhere, If he will

Some Of the best. purcst, brightest.

men and women have lived in adverse
circumstances.

peace. The rcpose Of the soul in God.
Mercy, unmerited love. Men through
sin have lost peace. Sinners are at war
with God. with society and with them

Peace. Sweet word to the mariner
after storm is the comfort Of peace.
To a nation after bloody war how well
come is the white-wnged dove Of peace.
To the sick who toss from one side 10

the sweet peace come to cool their burn

We can all have these atand high
