the right of the liberty of the press" but
which Senator Crandall, in his remarks
styled "a blow at the liberty of the press"

There were several important bills con-
sldered in the house yesterday, among the
number being Mr.. Trips bill to prevent
corrupt practices at elections, the bill re-
lating to foi eclosures of chattel mortgages
and the worlds fair appropriation bill.
This latter bill provided Tor 800, 900 APP
preparation, but it was cut down in COM
mittee of the whole to SIS, 1000. The major
part OF the morning session was devoted to
considering the reports of committees, a
number OF bills being reported back to the
house.
Gov. Merriam's veto of the Pickerel lake
bll! was taken up, and by very large ma
jority the house sustained the veto. :, ~

to suspend the rules the bill was referred
to the railroad committee in the usua! way.

length. The bill provides for an appropri-
alton OF 500, 600 for the purpose of making
Minnesota state exhibit. On the motion
OF Mr.. Bell it was amended so rs to provide
tor the turning into the state treasury OF all
proceeds from any sale Oft the exhibits.
Mr.. Bjorge said he believed $4,000 was
as much as the state could afford at this
time. II more was to be appropriated the
money would have to be found. SIR

taken, and it was carried by 48 in the at

Signs of Returning Life shown by the
Corpse of AN ohio Woman.
LIMA, Ohio, April Mrs. Francis
O'Neill, cousin ofSheriff O'Neill of Allen
county, died suddenly Saturday morning.
AS deceased was apparently in the best of
health up till the moment OF her death, it
was attributed to heart failure.
To-day signs of returning life were no.
ticed by the relatives. Her body became
warm and twitched convulsively. All the
funeral arrangements which had been made
were postponed, but up to this writing she
has not recovered consciousness.
The relatives have decided that even if
death appears certain they will keep her re-
mains in a ventilated vault until her death
is certain beyond peradventure. This &C
ton is taken on account Of similar occur
renee in the case Of her brother five years
ago. Henry LAWYER brother OF Mrs. O'Neill,
in March, 1886, died apparently. and all ar
engagements were made for his burial. On
the day set for the funeral he returned to
life. and is to-day a prominent business
man and leading politician. The relatives
of Mrs. O'Neill are fearful that she may
have experienced trance as did her
brother. r."

Chance to Spend Their Money.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7.--During a gale
on the bay to-day the schooner Sadie +.
Collier, destined tor Chignuk bay, Alaska.
with cannery outfit, was found to be in a
leaking condition.
One hundred and forty Chinese were Sc
cured to man the cannery. but as there had
been great difficulty in securing Chinese

give advances to get the Chinese to ship.
The schooner had ninety-fve OF her Chi
nese on board, and was ready to sail as
soon as the other torty-tive Chinese should
be put on board The ninety-five on board
the schooner had their advance money in
their pockets, and We're burning tor a
chance to spend it. AS they could not get
ashore, owing to vigorous watch they de-
termined to sink the schooner. They pro-
cured an augur and bored several holes in
the bottom OF the vessel
This morning the Collier was IN sink
ing condition, and her crew had to be taken
ashore as quickly as possible. The Chinese
are now spending their advance money in
Chinatown, and the schooner has been
beached.

ONE LESSON ENOUGH,
How a. 4. Stewart was Cured Of a
Desire to Speculate.

How A. T. Stewart was Cured Of a
Desire to Speculate.
This reminds me, says a writer IN
the New York Press, of an episode in
the life Of the great merchant prince OF
New York, the late A. T.. Stewart. 1t
was during the war when gold was at
a premium and jumping about with
every war report like a jumping-jack
on the end OF a string. It had gone up
to such APPOINT that some people were
beginning to wonder if it would not
eventually bequoted in four figures.
If q big General was killed it would
jump up ten points. If there was a
rebel victory or rumors of one it
would jump up twenty, thirty or forty
points. If there was Union victory
or a pospect of peace it would fall like
plummet: A. T. Stewart was then
in the height Of his great career, and
he had never engaged in speculation of
any but the solid kind, known as
Cuisines" s..
But he got notion that with his
long bank account and big credit he
could take a few flyers in gold and
make millions in them in hurry in
stead OF pursuing the old humdrum
course of buying goods at low prices
and selling them at profit per yard.
So he went down to Levi P. Morton,
now Vice President of the United
States, who was a leading banker in
Wall Street, and through the firm of
which Mr.. Morton was a member he
began to operate in gold. He kept it
up for nearly q year. In that time he
dropped into the laps Of his more
fortunate rivals in the race for gain a.
cool million dollars A million dol
lars was a vast amount of money
even for A. T. Stewart to lose, and it
cooled his brain when he found by ex-
animation of his bank accounts how
much he had lost in the whirlpool of
REGULATION. He withdrew from spec
ution as abruptly as he had entered
.nto it, charged his losses to his profit
and loss account, and made this COM
ment on the subject to his most init
mate friend: "Hilton, it's good rule
to follow never to depart from any
| line of business in which one is engaged
and has followed successfully for an
other line of which one knows nothing.
What did | know about gold?"

What is Being Attempted in the Way
Of Legislation by Our Law
makers.
Tuesday March. 81,

Senator Daugherty's bill prohibiting pri-
vate banks came back from the committee
on banks and banking with recommends
ton that 1t be indefinitely postponed. The
Duluth senator objected to such treatment,
however and succeeded in getting the bill
referred to the committee Of the whole
In the afternoon the first matter Of inn
portance to come before the senate was
Senator Donnelly's mortgage taxation bill,
S. f, &c. which was ON its final passage.
There was no debate whatever. Senator
Leavltt attempted to get all amendment be-
tore the senate, but Senator Brown OBJ
jected and the roll was called on the bill.
The result showed % votes in its favor and
% against it:
When the house met to-day Mr.. Gal
lagher moved to have his bill providing tor
three-cent street railway fare taken from
the table, but after lurid discussion, ex-
tending over halt an hour, the motion was
voted down. -.>
The sensation Of the morning was caused
by Mr.: Trip of Hennepin, who sent up a
resolution to enforce the rules OF the house
against the admission of lobbyists to the
floor for the rest of the session..
Mr.. Penney, on behalf of his bill, made
a strong speech in which he pointed out
the cruelty of the present law, which pro-
vides that executions shall take place be-
tween midnight and sunrise, and further
that so tar as the provision of the present
law prohibiting the publication OF reports
of executions was concerned. it had never
been observed by any OF the newspapers OF
the state.
After lengthy discussion, in which the
objections. OF the people of Saltwater to
have all the executions take place at the
penltentlary were enlarged upon at con-
siderable length. the bill was defeated by 6
vote Of 36 yeas to A nays.

The Father" of Banking,

Francis Child, according to Pen
nant, was "the father of banking.
He was the first goldsmith to give up
the practice of his craft and follow .
bankers business as it is now unde.
stood. The famous house of Child
originated in a goldsmith business
carried on in Fleet street by a family
named Wheeler, one of whom, John
Wheeler, moved thither from Cheap
side toward the end of the tenth CEN
tury. William Wheeler, early in
Charles rs reign, went to the Mari
gold, next door to Temple Bar; the
present site OF Child's Bank. William
Wheeler's granddaughter married his
apprentice, Francis Child, while his
widowed daughter-in-law took, as a
second husband, another wealthy
goldsmith named Robert Blanchard,
on whose death in 1851 Child became
possessed of a considerable fortune.
Prior to 1890 the ledgers show that
the firm did a considerable pawn-b rok-
ing business. Francis Child became
lord mayor of London in 1889, was
president ofChrist's Hospital in 1902,
represented the city in Queen Anne's
first parliament, and was Colonel Of
the Hon: Artillery Company; he died in
l72l. His second son, also Francis,
then became head of the firm, and
in 1929 introduced form of promis-
sorry note-with vignette of Temple
Bar in the left, hand corner-which
was probably the first form of printed
bank note known. The firms ledgers
are filled with the accounts of men
and women famous in English-history
Gilbert Burnet, bishop Of Salisbury,
Lord Keeper North, the first duke Of
Marlborough and his duchess, Barbara
villers, duchess of Cleveland, King
William and Mary his queen, George
Evelyn, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu,
and last, but not least, MADAME
Eleanor Gwynne." Poor Nell could
not write; her mark, "E. g." appears
frequently in the books, and the firm
possesses the doctor srecelpt for elO9
for attending her in her last illness.
The last of the name OF Child, who
was partner of the bank, was Robert
Child, head of the firm in 1882; he had
an only daughter, who in that year
became the wife of John, tenth earl of
Westmorland. Dining one afternoon
with Mr.. Child, Lord Westmorland
said: "Child. I wish for your opinion
on the following case: Suppose you
were in love with girl and her father
refused his consent to the union, what
should you do?" "Why, run away
with her, to be sure" answered the
banker: Lord Westmorland acted on
his advice next day, flying with Miss
Child to Gretna Green, where they
were married.-LondOn Globe.

Decision Against a Prisoner Who Would
Escape Technically.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-The supreme
court OF the United States to-day affirmed
the judgment of the supreme court of Wis
consin, in the case of Patrick Manning,
convicted in the court for the district of
Ashland, Wis, of manslaughter.
He contended that his conviction was
with TOUT due process of law, basing 1t on
the ground that under the state law the
governor had no authority to appoint the
judge who tried him, and that he was tried
and convicted by an unlawful court.
The United States supreme court saws
that the highest state tribunal held that the
Ashland court had always existed and was
court de jure, regardless of whether or
not the governor had the right Of appoint
ment of the judge. The court is bound by
that Judgment, and there being court de
jure and judge de facto, it holds that there
is no ground on which to order Manning's
discharge

KILLING THE BILL.
After the bill had been read, Mr.. Searle
o1tered an earnest protest in behalf of
Stearns county and the city of st. Cloud,
the interest OF which he believed would be
lnJurlously affected by the bill, against the
passage OF this bill. Without further de-
liberation or discussion t.,e roll was called
on the passage OF the BILL and it was de-
teated by eight votes. .a -
There was quite battle over the worlds
tar ar. appropriation bill, made mainly by the
Alliance members of the house. AS this
blll came up for consideration just alter the
Currier bill had been defeated, there was a
faint suspicion existing that they were feel
ing sore and perhaps little revengelul, but
al who spoke disclaimed any such feeling.
Nevertheless, they insisted upon the amount
being cut down from SIS, 900 to $50,OOO and
as the author Of the bill would not yield
they defeated the bill altogether Seeing
this Mr.: Reeve offered to accept $50, 900, il
the Il! Alliance members agreed to pass the
bill without opposition, which they con-
sented to do, and the bill as amended was
passed.
Mr.. Reeve remained obdurate, and the
roll was called on the BILL with the result
OF its being defeated by so negative votes to
Al affirmative,
