IN THE HOUSE.

The house is meeting early these days,
so at $3.50 Speaker Champlin raped for
order, and order there was. The jour
nal was approved, the petitions and res
olutions read and then the bill providing
FOR an extension of time to persons who
have purchased seed grain of the state
and are now suffering from failure of
crops was passed under suspension of
the rules.
The feature of the morning was the
discussion of the employers liability
bill. The Judiciary committee made
two reports-a majority recommending
a substitute and a minority in favor of
amending the original bill. A motion
was made to have both bills printed and
to make them a special order for Tues
day afternoon. A heated discussion
followed and then the motion was lost.
The object of this bill is to make en-
ployers liable for all injuries received by
employees through the fault or careless
ness Of co-employes, and relates to all
classes of work except farming.
The report Of the state prison COM
mittee was received and ordered printed.
1t was not read and, by request of Mr..
Reyes, the chairman, the clerk would
not permit the reporters to see it.
The house was called to order at D.
IN. and went into committee of the
whole to consider the special order
House Files 901 and 902 These are
known as the substitutes for House File
6S, the Currier railroad bill. House

Currier himself and reported by mi
nority, consisting of five Alliance men,
bers of the railroad committee. The
other bill, House File 902, is the Searle
amendment to the present law and was
recommended to pass by the Democratic
and Republican members, comprising a
majority Of that committee.
House File 901 was read first and Mr..
Currier moved that the committee of
the whole recommend the passage of the
bill.
Mr.. Searle moved to amend by recon-
mending that House File 902 should
pass. The latter bill was then read.
On the motion of Mr.. Champlin, who
drew attention to the Importance of the
two bills and the necessity for further
discussion, progress was reported at o:35,
and the two bills were ordered placed at
the head of general orders.
Mr.. Penney's bill relating to execu-
lions under the law, and providing that
they all take place in the state prison,
was called up This bill was defeated
Tuesday because of there not being
enough votes in the house to carry it,
and Wednesday there being large
house, it was carried without any
trouble.

But the papers are not wholly de-

nets with admiration and the male
sex with apprehension when they
think of the bills they will entail
Your lady readers may be interested
in an extract from a fashion article in
the morning paper. Perhaps they
will know what it all means:
The dear little cheats of girls have
ferreted out way of getting ahead
of the fashions. 1t is the season for
contracted skirts with little material
in them and no apparent clothing I'M
der them. The girls are well aware
of this, and they also know that none
of the pretty beruffed superfiuities of
former years can be worn underneath
the simplicity of these tailor-made
gowns. Yet one and all have declar-
ed that they cannot and will not go
unpetticoated. Fancy the horror of
seeing woman cross street without
revealing as much as fluff OF muslin,
or a frou-frou of lace! Picture the bar
renness Of effect were the slightly
tilted skirt to show nothing more in
teresting than pair of boot tops. OF
course, the girls could not and would
not endure such a state of affairs.
Twas out of the question. The
whole condition of womanhOOd SEEM
ed at stake. Then some one-all hon
or be upon her!-thought of way out
of the dilemma, way of approaching
to wear petticoots without wearing
them at all.
Inside of her tailor-made gown,
about two inches below the knees, she
sewed founce Of lace which was
long enough to reach the hem of the
skirt. Two inches below the first
ruffie was sewed a second one extend
ing within half an inch of the bottom
of the dress. Then came the moment
for experiment.. Breathlessly this
woman of talent posed before the
mirror, took step over an imaginary
crossing, gave little kick, grabbed
up her skirt, jumped puddle, and
turned quickly to the glass to observe
the effect. 1t was highly satisfactory.
There was the dress skirt beautifully
elevated at just the right angle and,
hanging below it, were the lace skirts
in charming fold and pose. Yet the
costume from the knees up was as
rich in outline as the heart OF any
full-limbed girl could desire.
Now, all the girls are doing that
sort of thing, and no one knows just
how it happens that there is appar-

With an occasional appearance of
irritability arising from his nervous
temperament he had kindly DISPOSE
tion, and under cold exterior he
concealed a warm heart. He was a
devoted friend, and was incapable of
envy, as was shown when, nearly two
years ago at Rochester, Mr.. Booth was
suddenly taken i'll while playing and,
Mr. Barrett dismissed the audience,
saying, while his tears flowed, that
the world had probably heard for the
last time it's greatest English-speak-
ing actor. Mr.. Booth survives to
mourn the loss of his manager, col
league, and faithful comrade, but his
grief will be shared in by the whole
nation which found in Lawrence Bar
rett studious actor, patriot soldier
in the hour of his cOuntry's need, a
typical American citizen, and most
worthy gentleman.

Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray"

Regarding Mr.. Barrett, can do no
better than to quote with approval
the opening and closing paragraphs of
an appreciative editorial in the Sun
day Post:
The death of Lawrence Barrett not
only removes very conspicuous fig
ure from the American stage, but al
so takes from the sphere of earthly
activities a man and citizen who
had won esteem and admiration in all
the relationships Of life. The life
which has closed had, before its COM
pletiOn, attained almost every element
of success, and that success was all
the more creditable in that it was
mainly achieved through personal en-
ergy and ability and through persis-
tent perseverance which Overcame all
obstruction. Indeed, it is
not too much to say that at the time
of his death he was almost universally
esteemed the greatest of American
tragedians with the single exception
of Mr.. Booth.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March %, 81.
Last Fridays local papers gave a
list or notable people on the sick roll.
1T embraced Secretary Blaine, Con-
gresham Spinola, of New York; Gen.
Joseph e. Johnston, late of the Con-
federate army; Gen. Albert Pike, the
venerable Mason; and Mrs. Congress
man Owen, of Indiana. The serious
illness of Lawrence Barrett, in New
York, was also announced.
Already two of the number have
Joined the great majority. Gen. John
stOn died of heart failure last night,
at the ripe age of 80 years: and the
great tragedian is dead in New York,
from the same cause, at SO.
The death of General Johnston re-
moves the last of the prominent gen.
erals who fought for the "LOst Cause, ("
except Beauregard. He was the per-
s0nal friend of Lee, to whom he sus-
tanned much the same relation that
Sherman did to Grant. He was to
the cause of the sConfederacy what
Sherman was to that of the Union.
A trained soldier, a commander of
consummate ability, man of heroic
mould" he rendered conspicuous SER
vice to the South, eight of ten serious
wounds which he bore being received
in it's service. Between him and
General Sherman there existed a warm
personal friendship. Each found in
the other "foeman worthy of his
steel" 'They bore (says the Sunday
POST many points of resemblance to
one another. They both enjoyed the
respect and confidence of their re-
spective armies; both were men of the
people, and imbued with the warmest
of human sympathies. General
Johnston accepted the results of the
war unreservedly. His conduct from
it's close ''was invariably that of an
exemplary and high-minded citizen
who realized that in losing transient
and doubtful cause he had regained
an enduring Union of States and gath
cred the rich fruitage of fraternal
peace" The people will honor his
memory as that of brave, though
mistaken, man. And when May
strews all the land with beauty, the
men who wore the blue, with loving
hands will place it's brightest garland
