Operations of the Mckinley Law to be In
yestipated.

NeetlR3I6u.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The House has
decreed that the first investigation into
the operations of the Mckinley law shall
be conducted by the committee on agricul-
ture. This is an arrangement of Chair
man Hatch, and the committee is to be dl-
rected particularly to enquire into the Ell
feet the high tariff has had upon the agri-
cultural interests of the country. 1t is uu-
derstood that later the committee on manu-
features will be authorized to conduct an
INQUIRY as to the effect Of the tariff law
on manufactures and skilled workers and
thus in the end reports be made on various
phases of the new law.
McMillin. who presided over the House
to-day in the absence OF Crisp VINO is con-
fined to his room by headache, brought
the tariff question to the front by moving
10 suspend the rules and adopt resolu-
ton requesting the committee on
agriculture 20 repors the effect upon
agriculture of the present tariff law.
Rynum, of Indiana demanded second ana
the request of Hatch that the second read
ing be considered ordered. Objected TO by
hilgore, of Texas. Kilgore and hatcn ap-
pointed tellers The vote resulted 10 10 =.
The Republicans did not vote, but no one
raised the point of no quorum, and hhgore
was recognized TO oppose the resolutlon'
but declined 10 avail himself OF the recog-
milton, stating he was not opposed to 1t,
although he believed it was originally
offered as a piece OF buncombe.
If he believed there could be lar and
impartial investigation of the effects Of
the present tariff law on agricultural IN.
tererests, he would be in favor OF
it. 1t could hardly be expected, however
an investigation of this character could be
made without being npon party OASIS
The fact that the House went into this In
vest cation was q declaration on the part o.
the House it believed the Mckinley law IN
jured the farmers of the country. Thli
was net true. The duties on farmers pro
duce had been increased.
Deliver hoped if an investigation wa
ordered, the committee would send for tn
present chief magistrate OF Iowa, who Il
his annual message said at no time in III
history of Iowa have her people beel
blessed with more prosperity than the.
now enjoy, and that was the reason the a.
lance carried the state at the last election

SADLY MYSTERIOUS STORY.
Mrs. Davis, now hopelessly insane, is
about ifty-seven years old. She was once
very beautiful, and noted as society belle.
In 1870, shortly after the birth of her
daughter Mary, Mrs. Davis was taken by
her husband to Stockton, Cal, insane
asylum, where she was adiudged insane,
and where she renamed two
years. AT the end OF that time her
husband brought her to st. Louis, and she
was admitted to ST. Vincent's asylum on
May 20, 1872. Until early in August, 1876,
her husband saw that the sisters were com
pensated for their care Of his wife, but on
or about August 10, 1876, Mr.. Davis, ac-
companied by a woman whose name is I'M
known, drove up TO st. Vincent's in a
closed carriage, ard while the unknown
lady remained in the carriage Mr. Davis
entered the institution and appeared again
in a few moments
ACCOMPANIED BY HIS INSANE WIFE
He placed her in the carriage and drove
of. Three days later Mrs. Davis, ex-
haused and unconscious, was picked up on
the roadside near Beileville, III. The sher-
if who found her noticed from marks on
her clothing that she had been connected
with ST. Vincent's asylum and in
formed the sisters OF the discovery.
Considerable surprise. was manifested
by the sisters, who could not understand
how the unfortunate woman became sepa-
rated from her husband and lady friend.
They thought the husband, however.
would again appear in search Of his wife
but they never heard from him or saw him
from the time he took his wife away from
the institution in 1876 until snort time
since, when through their attorneys and
newspaper accounts OF Davis other
troubles, they located him at Stockton
Gala.
After the discovery of Mrs. Davis on the
roadside, near Bellevllle, investigation re
vealed that Davis and mis- wife had stopped

Years passed after her return to the con
vent, on August ID, 1876, and not wort
nor ceni of money did the sisters receiy,

not to allow Davis again to TAX,

disposition to make the evening corsage
higher and closer in the neck, in order to
give length to the figure, and there is always
some species of sleeve, even if it is only q
mere draping of tulle or net The tiny
shoulder strap, which left the entire arm
bare above the shoulder, is not seen any
more. If you wish to cut the bodice low,
there must be a filling of chiffon or some
other soft material Should you use tulle,
net or gsuze for the skirt, the same material
figures to fill in at the neck and for the
short sleeve.
You will see pictured to-day a richly en-
broidered evening gown, the motive of the
embroidery being chrysanthemums. If you
do not care for embroidered effects. you
may choose a velvet or brocaded stuff, and
make it up in corselet style, which is al
ways sure to produce the effect of length
and aristocrstic slenderness SO much
coveted.
Now and then is to be seen one of those
exquisite white cloth evening costumes,
trimmed with white hair fur and white
chiffon, which give to the wearer the air of
moving with regal grace about the ball

are varied by gold lace or gimp, and at
others the white lady wears tan shoes, tan
stockings and tan gloves FLoRRETTE
