THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Synopsis of the Proceedings of the Gener.
al Assembly.

THURSDAY. JUNE 4.
SENATE-The senate passed the compulsory
educational bill as amended on second read.
ing. 1t now goes to the housed A number
of bills were passed.
HoUsE-The Worlds fair bill was sent to
third reading and made the special order
for the 9Th There was no attempt to recon
slider the vote by which the amount of the
appropriation was fixed at S751.000 When
the journal was read the republicans asked
that the roll call this amend
ment be read. and that was done
Nobody challenged it's correctness It
showed that the amendment was
adopted by vote of II to 49, one vote more
for 1t than was first announced. When the
bill again came up, under the head OF unfin-
ished business, an attempt was made to in
crease the appropriation to $500, 900 by an
amendment offered by Mr. Paddock making
an additional appropriation of 500, 900 for a
woman's exhibit. 1t is settled beyond doubt
that the senate will refuse to concur in the
amendment fixing the total appropriation at
S750,000. The bill will go to q conference
committee, and there a compromise will be
agreed upon fixing the amount probably at
SS50,000.
FRIDAY, JUNE 5.
SENATE-There will be no legislation at
this session providing that eight hours shall
constitute work day. Senator O'Conner's
bill was the only measure on this subject
sufficiently well advanced to have any
chance for passage, and it was killed in the
senate to-day. The fight over it was
warm, and the bill came near passing
lacking only two votes. One objection to
the bill was that it exempted farmers from
the provisions of the bill. and thus discrimi-
mated against farm laborers The senate
amended the tax levy bill by cutting s1lO, 900
out OF it. This was done on account of the
action of the house in cutting down the
ri
that appropriation, agreed upon by the
conference committee, will not exceed s900,-
900. Senator Mahoney introduced resolu-
ton providing for an investigation of the
charges that the convict labor law is being
violated.
HoUsE-The general appropriation bill oc-
cupied the entire day in the house up to 3 30
p m, when the house adjourned to attend a
ball game between two legislative mines, the
"Protectionists" and ''Free Traders" The
game was played south of the city, and re-
suited in a victory for the Free Traders by
score of AZ to 19. ABOUT the only incident
OF the game was the breaking of Mr.. Row.
ands finger.
SATURDAY, JUNE 6.

An Instance of the Folly of Buying "a
 Pig in n Pock."
 A gentleman who went to see some friends off on the Teutonic recently, says the New York Times, tells of a fanny incident which he witnessed on board He was talking with the purser when man, fairly well dressed, came up and said to that officer: "I bought a steerage ticket out west, but l think l would rather go second cabin" "l am very sorry" replied the purscr, but you can't go that way because there is not berth left unsold in the second cabin"
 "Then I'll go first cabin" responded the imperturbable stranger. "You cant go first cabin, either, I'm sorry to say," answered the purser, "because all the berths in the first cabin are also sold"
 Isn't there stateroom of any kind left?"
 Well, said the purser, with a smile, ''there is one stateroom left, but the price of it is six hundred dollars"
 If take that" said the stranger, musingly, 'I will owe you five hundred and seventy-eight dollars"
 "How is that?" asked the purser.
 "Well, the stecrage ticket cost me twenty-two dollars, and presume it is still good for that amount, so that in order to get the room I'll have to give you only five hundred and seventy-eight dollars more"
 "Oh, that is true" said the purscr.
 Then" said the stranger, ''I1l take that room" And forthwith he pulled out huge roll of bills and handed the purser five hundred and seventy-eight dollars

Mummy Factories.

Collectors of Egyptian antiquities will be interested in knowing that a regular manufacturer of mummies has been discovered at Alexandria. This ingenious person, says the New York Post, has been making mummies out of asses skins, prepared after peculiar method of his own invention. After selling large numbers of alleged num- mics of the ancient things of Egypt, he thought it prudent to describe his wares as the.remains of Egyptian high priests; but this dodge ultimately led to his de- lection. His manufactured Pharaohs have deceived vast number of col lectors, and it is believed that consid- erable proportion of the mummies taken away from Egypt during the last few years have been spurious articles.

CHlQUANGA.
A Queer Kind of Pudding Made and Eaten
 in Africa.


 in Africa.
 Saleh, Stanley's attendant, said it was curious to watch Stanley's white officers when introduced to chiquanga, kind of pudding made of boiled man. ioc root. Neither the taste nor odor of this food is at all inviting at first; but necessity brings all whites as we'll as blacks to regard it as the bread of life before many months of residence in central Africa.
 When Stanlcy's white officers had fin ishcd their small stock of timed pro- visions and rice, says St. Nicholas, they were absolutely compelled to fall bacl, on the manioc dishes; but the sourness of taste of this African pudding is se- rious barrier to the enjoyment of it, and some stubborn persistence is re. quired before the white man halls chiquanga as dclicacy; but like other white travellers, these officers began to like it, and when they passed beyond the districts where it grew, and were forced to adhere to q roast plaintain iiet, they regretted bitterly that they had no manioc.

Fashions in DIseases.

A New York physician tells the Trib- une that diseases become fashionable just like style of dress. Look, for in- stance, at the remarkable run that ma. laria has had. About two dozen dis tinct ailments, not one of which is due to pad air lmalaria), now go by that name.

UNDER CART ON TwEkTY-sENENTH STREET.
"Their first visit since | came to this ONCE

full the way that street has been neglected.
We have 300 men I'm our employ. There is
the Manhattan Brass Works across the
street, and next door to us Is John Matthews's
soda-water works, while beyond to the west
are tall, thickly populated tenement-hOuses.
It's wonder everybody isn't sick"
Twenty-seventh street runs down TO Belle

Yes; Twenty-seventh street had been
swept. There was no gainsaying that, for
here and there along the street were fresh
mounds OF dirt and refuse OF all kinds.
But there were other piles, too. Piles not
made with hands. Accommodations or weeks
OF neglect were there under the big trucks OF
the Matthews Company, and Henry +. Kege-
ler, who lives at 1928 and owns the big tlye-
story double tenement at $50, said:
They pretend to clean the street some
times, but they never come oftener than once
a week, and then they do II as you see. Those
big wagons stand in the street when not In
use, and the street cleaners never bend their
backs to sweep under the trucks
"You see, there are things under those
wagons which have been there for months.

It very dinicult to rent property. Nobody

and return. The other race VIII be over the
same course, the start a little later.
The start was made at noon. Jessica

tion OF the MineOla, going under her stern to
do so, and at 12.45 they passed out OF sight

minute later. Marguerite has good lead.
At 2.45 the wind had greatly diminished

Omnibus Day and although thereswas heavy
shower Of rain In the city It was but sprink-

OF n fair days sport was fattering up to Q
o'clock.
The rain had the effect however of keeping
many from the track, and IL was not the large
crowd that 1t would be expected such card
would draw.
The Omnibus Stakes was, OF course, the
feature OF the day, ard with such Tacehorses
as Montana, Reckon, Rey Del Rey, san Juan,
sallie McClelland and other good ones to
meet, a royal battle was insured.
The track, although not so fast as was
hoped for, was very fair, and good racing was
the result
There were n number OF scratches in the
first event, including Major Domo and Meri-
den.
Loantaka was made a red-hot favorite with
Contribution well played for second position,
and Charley Post, with Dwyer's commission

Loantaka, the winner OF the suburban, gave
evidence of being sprtnter as well as long
