WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Cummings'
resolution with reference to the treatment
OF the Jews in Russia was under consider
alton by the house committee on foreign
affairs today. 1t was finally referred to a
sub committee with authority to draft a
resolution that will be in conformity to
the facts reported by the American diplo-
matte representatives In Russia, and
which will at the same time be SO worded
rs not to constitute an interference with
Russia's internal affairs. 1t was the gen.
eral sentiment of the committee that, the
resolution should do no more than express
the sympathy OF the United States with
the Jews.
A communication sent to the senate to-
day by the secretary of war shows there
are now three colonies. one brigaiier
general and Admiral Porter drawing pen
sions OF IS per month under the act of
congress OF 1887. There are also Thirty
two nou-commissioned officers drawing
the same amount.
In recognition Of the services rendered
BY the captain and the crew of the United
States steamer Baltimore, which conveyed
the remains of the late Capt Ericsson to
Sweden last year, the king of Sweden de-
sires to present to them 354 medals, to be
distributed as follows: One of gold for
the commanding officer. thirty-one OF sill
er-on for each subordinate officer
aud S22 bronze-one Tor each of the
crew. AS the captain and crew are not
permitted to accept these medals except
by authority of congress, a resolution was
today reported by Representative Rock
well.
The Star says there seems to be little
doubt that free coinage will pass the sen
ate when a vote Is reached, and it is gain
ing friends in the house. 1t, therefore,
appears possible that President Harrison
may be called Upon to pass judgment
upon a free coinage bill.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. The Western Pas
senger Association today authorized
Chairman Finley to take immediate steps
looking to the prosecution of Chicago
ticket brokers under the Illinois state law.
This action is in line with the general
tendency OF late to bring about reforms
in the conduct of railroad competition in
the Wet. 1t is underst0od that proseou-
ton will be commenced in a week or two,
and as Chairman Finley is a fighter. good
results arc expected. Apparently the
ticket broker is in more danger of being
extermlnated than ever before. Besides
the proposed prosecution in this state,
there IS n movement on the part OF all
associated roads, East and West. TO drive
him out of business. 1t the scheme toI
abolish unlimited tickets is carried out it
will do more to cripple the scalpers' trade
than anything yet accomplished. An
other thing calculated to hut the s~calpers
is the proposition to discontinue the pay
ment of commissions on the sale of tick
cts, which is now being considered, with
the likelihood OF adoption.
The wages of 100 agents and telegraph
operators OF the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul road were recently reduced about
Is per cent. The 500 men of that class
Of tho entire system signed a petition ask
ing that wages be restored. The company
demanded the withdraw OF the mems
LANES from the petition or their resigna
tons. The operators aud agents say that
unless their committee, which will come
to Chicago to confer with the officials,
succeeds in getting the wages restored
they will all resign.

H%ARTFoRD, Jan. S.-There was much
excitement in the capitol just before the
senate adjourned over the rumor that the
Democratic candidates for state offices
had been sworn in and were about to
claim the offices. The doors were locked
and other precautions taken, but no move
meut was made, and. as now reported,
none is contemplated. The present situ-
alton of affairs is that the senate declared
the Democratic state officers elected; the
house has sent about inquiries as to
whether anyone was elected, and mean

ADVICE ABOUT NAooINo.
A DisagreeabIe Habit which IL FrHught
with Considerable Danger.


Many estimable wives and mothers be-
come so committed TO this disagreeable
habit that not unfrequently the happiness
of the family is wrecked by It, says the
Philadelphia Press. It is 50 much the more
TO be regretted because 1t Is from the very
nature Of their qualities that the habit
is acquired. 1t is not the slipsnod,
1appy-go-lucky people that are annoyed
by the faults OF others-the shirnng,
the want of consIderateness, the total dis
regard Of every plain duty. No, they are
painstaking, conscientious souls who are
3orey tried by the neg Igence Of others, and
waste Of time aud opportunity and sub
stance it may be; who find their strength
unable 10 bear more than two or three times
their share Of the heat and burden Of the
day; who have again taken up the task Of
others less conscientious; who have again
and again stood between those others and
the consequences Of their own Incidence,
folly, stupidity and injusuce-these are the
ones who give vent 10 their overwrought
feeling in bitter complaining and reproach.
just here lies the danger. A careful
housewife, fully alive 10 the importance Of
thoroughness in the little things in the
household, as well as in large things in the
conduct of life, sees constantly 80 much
undone or worse than undone on the part
Of the husband, children and servants,
that in the constant endeavor TO set them
all right, 70 RESTRAIN this one, or TO bring
that one up 10 the requisite point, or 10
ward off the consequences Of the thought
lessness Of this one, and want Of consider
ateness Of that one, the habit of nagging
grows stronger and stronger upon her from
day 10 day But let her possess ner soul III
patience; let her be assiduous in cultivat-
ing that sweetness" which is the main
element of Matthew ArnoId's culture, and
which is frequently spoken Of by Jonathan
Edwards, stern and uncompromIsing Cal
whist though he was.
Better that the pecadilloes In the kitchen
should be unobserved at times by the mis-
tress than that the house should be Stunned
by all the willing servants in the neighbor-
hood; better that the faults Of the children
should be lightly reproved than that they
should learn TO do without their mothers
sympathy and love, which will most likely
be the case il she pursues toward them a
course Of perpetual and persistent fault
finding; better that the husbands petty
lailings be passed over in silence than that
he should learn TO hnd his happiness away
from home, perhaps in some other woman's
home.
II is not meant that all reproof or fault
finding is reprehensible; children and sery-
ants must be shown how to do better, but
with judiciOus words of commendation
thrown in 20 temper the blame. In this, as
in other things, let golden mean be OBJ
served.

THE WAY TO PROPOSE.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox Thinks That Man

The young men of Holland go in great
numbers 70 Dutch India TO engage in com
mercial affairs. They have a truly left
handed manner Of proposing marriage.
| When one Of them desires wife from his
own land he sends a soiled lefthan glove
to some male friend. This constitutes
| power of attorney and the friend selects a
suitable wife, marries her in the name Of
! the absent lover and sends her on her we'd
| ding journey alone to join her husband.
In some portions of Western Africa a
native who wants wife is obliged to seek
the "Palaver House." where he talks the
matter over with the elders and "fetich
men," Then he is granted admission TO the
presence Ul the parents OF the Iauy In oues

more "paaver" he is allowed TO take his
