NAL parliamentary motion to reconsider
the vote and to table that motion, and
then tho House proceeded to other and
minor business
{ Ex-Speaker Reed gave the following as
his Views on the defeat Of the resolution:
This vote of the House under Republi-
can lead settles the silver question until
the decisive vote Of the people In fact,
In my;judgment, 1t L. the last fight there
win be on the subject. The elections will
settle the agitation. The hollowness of
the Democratic support of free silver shows
the insincerity of those who have been
catering to temporary opinion"
Representative Bland took philosophy
cal view of his defeat, and said that there
was nothing that could have been done by
the Committee on Rules or by any friends
OF the measure to save it. He remarked
that the silver men were beaten this SEES
sion, but the fight would be resumed
later. He thought the Republicans would
try to force sectional issues and the Force
bill ON them, which they would bury
deep, and then the Democratic party
would try to do something else.
Mr.. Breckenridge Of Kentucky said that
he regarded the result of the contest as
fortunate, and said he was confident that
1t would result in the election Of Mr.. Cleve-
land as President and in the retention of
number of Democratic members of the
House from the East, who would other
wise have lost their seats.

WEARY WAITING.

On. the agony of waiting in anxious, dread sus-
pense,
When pulses throb at fever heat with heart
strings strained and tense.
When speech waits on expression-waits an I'M
developed word,
Waits the knock that never cometh, the foot
step never heard
When at evening would 'twero morning, ~
when ut morning would 'twere night"
When the eye Is strained to aching and aweary
Is the sight;
When the ear grows dull from listening for
comings long deferred.
For the knock that never cometh, tho footstep
never heard.
When the voice grows weak and husky, when
the breath comes faint and slow;
When the soul oppressed and saddened for
what 1t longs to know,
When hours grow from moments and eyes with
tears are blurred
For tho knock that never cometh, the footstep
never heard,
Oh, weary, worldly waiter, on tho seeming
laggard pace
OF the wstched-for, longed-for moment, wait
with becoming grace,
On the promise OF fulhllment made In His Sacred
Word,
That patient waiting will have record when His
knock and step are heard.

KEEPING a BANK ACCOUNT.

Am Experienced Cashier Lays Down Some
Useful Rules.
1. II you wish to open an account
with bank, provide yourself with a
proper introduction. Well managed
gers.
2. Do not draw a check unless you
have the money in bank or in your pos
session to deposit. Don't test the cour.
age or generosity of your bank by pre-
senting or allowing to be presented
your check for a larger sum than your
| balance.
8. Do not draw a check or send it to
person out of the city, expecting to
make it good before it can possibly get
back. Sometimes Geographic advise is
asked about such checks.
4. Do not exchange checks with any.
body. This is soon discovered by your
bank; it does your friend no good and
discredits you.
5. Do not give your check to a friend
| with the condition that he is not to use
it until q certain time. He is sure to
take an out-of-town check from neigh
Dor, pass 1t through your bank without
charge and give him your check for it.
AOO sAC SUN W SCO SSASAb- DAoCOuIlS
no accommodation note; in the mean
ing of bank it is note for. which no
value has passed from the indorser to
the drawer.
s. Do not give your check to stran-
ger. This is an open door for fraud,
and if your bank loses through you it
will not feel kindly toward you.
z. When you send your check out of
hA 90 -
and residence of your payee, thus: "Pay
to John Smith & Co., of Boston" This
will put your bank on its guard if pre-
sented at the counter.
8. Don't commit the folly of suppos.
ing that because you trust the bank
with your money the bank ought to
trust you by paying your overdrafts.
Q. Don't suppose you can behave bad
| ly in one bank and stand well with the
others. You forget there is a clearing
| house.
10. Don't quarrel with your bank. Ii
you are not treated we'll, go somewhere
| else; but don't go and leave your dis
count line unprotected Don't think il
| unreasonable if your bank declines to.
IL. If you want an accommodation
note discounted tell the bank frankly
that 1T is not, IN their definition, a bust
ness note. If you take a note from a
debtor with an agreement, verbal OF
| written, that it is to be renewed. in
whole or in part, and if you get that
note discounted and then ask to have a
new one discounted to take up the old
one, tell the bank about it.
10. Don't commit the folly of saying
that you will guarantee the payment
of note which you have already in.
| dorsed.
Is. Give your bank credit for being
intelligent generally and understand
ing its own business particularly. II
is much better informed, probably,
than you supposed.
IA. Don't try to convince your bank
that the paper or security which has al.
ready been declined is better than the
bank supposes. This is only chaff.-

GLADSTONE REELECTED.
His Escape From Defeat a Marrow On
Great Excitement Caused.

His Escape From Defeat a Narrow One
Great Excitement Caused.
LONDON, July 14.-Mr. Gladstone has
been reelected in Midlothian, receiving
8, $50 votes to SOFT for Col. Wauchope, the
Liberal Unionist candidate.
The narrow escape of Mr.. Gladstone
from defeat has caused much excitement.
His Conservative opponent is a soldier
with a gallant record, a. 9. B. and G. M.
G., ana personally beyond reproach,
either as to his civil or military career
drawing out the full Conservative and
Liberal vote of Midlothian, and the story
told by the figures shows how thoroughly
the vote was drawn out.
Col. Wauchope is overwhelmed with
congratulations by his Tory friends, as
much as if he was the victor while
from all parts of Scotland kilograms have
poured in to the Colonel, who is said to
be astonished at the fame thrust upon
him.
Up to the declaration of the result the
Conservatives seemed to believe that
Gladstone was beaten, and this confidence
ON their part naturally added to the anX-
iety of the Liberals.
The excitement in London has not been
so intense since the beginning of the cleo
tions. Fleet street was crammed from
Ludgate Circus to Chancery Lane with an
anxious multitude, both of Unionists and
Liberals. The moment the figures were
bulletined a great volume of shouts, of
Rroans and of cheers went up from the
people For fully quarter of an hour
the deafening and discordant din pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Gladstone received the news with
calmness. Whatever his feelings may
have been, he gave no expression to them.

Folsom at Peoria, HI.
PEORIA, Ill. July 14.-The waves of the
Illinois river now roll over the forms of a
score of people, who, only short time
ago, were enjoying themselves to the
fullest extent. Wednesday evening was
one Of the prettiest ever seen, and the
river and lake were fairly alive with boats
of every description.
At 10 o'clock a cyclone swept over the
city, leaving death and destruction in its
wake.
The most serious and appalling disaster
of the night was caused by the capsizing
of the pleasure steamer frankie Folsom
at the foot of Caroline street.
The following is list of the unfortu-
mates who are known to have lost their
lives by the swapping of the steamer:
THE DEAD.
AHRENs, JOHN, Pekin.
DUIsDELER, MRS, Pekin.
FISHER, Cora, Pekin.
FISHER, MRS, Pekin.
FLATH, MARY, Pekin.
PoEBEL, ANNA, Pekin.
PoEBEL, MARY, Pekin.
RIPBERGER, WILLIAM, Pekin.
UNKNowN-Two young girls.
At Lake View Park, mile above
the city, a representation of Pompeii
was given. For this occasion the
Folsom, Pekin boat, came up with
forty people. A landing was made here
and two or three couples joined the party
Fifteen others also got aboard the boat at
the Park, so that the passenger list reached
fully sixty.
AS the boat came out of the landing and
started down to the city it was struck by
the cyclone and turned over 1t was a
little midway in the river and sank
rapidly.
There are eighteen dead in the Folsom,
according to the latest account.
Only about one-half of these will be
found in the cabin of the boat, for the
others were swept off the Eail into the
river

TAKING HER PICTURE.

The Artist Groaped He Thought OF HiA
Camera.
The natural ruggedness of her face
had been materially softened by the
hand of art, when she seated herself
carefully in the photographers chair
and turned her eyes in the direction of
the camera. Yet the most careful OBJ
server could not be deceived in thinking
her beautiful
MADAM, if you please, look"
The artist was interrupted by a depre-
catory wave of the hand.
"No directions, please; know just
how want to sit. I have studied my
self in many different poses, and know
what am talking about"
She leaned forward in a careless
way, rested her elbow on the table by
her side, pressed one finger against her
cheek, rolled her eyes until her glance
rested upon the ceiling, and sighed
'"There," she murmured, in a soft &C.
stacy, ''like that. An attitude of adora.
ton, don't you know"
"But, madam
mot q word. know what want"
The photographer merely wished to
call attention to the distinction between
o contortion and an attitude of adora-
ton. He concluded, however, to remain
silent.
| "There is only one thing" the sitter
explained, upon which wish to have
your opinion"
The artist bowed.

Eaore becoming to me-
The artist would not willingly under

essayed to look respectfully interested,
but said nothing.
| do look better thus?"
She assumed an expression approx
mating in severity that of the Gorgon
ldedusa.
Cor thus?"
She stretched her face with a smile
that would have caused the stoutest
heart to quail.
(Which do you say?"
The artist thought of the delicate
mechanism of his camera and groaned

"My dear madam"
She was listening eagerly.

"Oh, yes; certainly"
"Er-between the two expressions it
Is difficult to decide"
"Quite right"
"They are equally becoming"
She simpered in a weak stimulation of
dissent.
"And if you could take a little OF
each, a very little"
She started in horror.
"And try something else"
She was gone. She had scrambled
into her wraps in twinkling, made o
few disjointed observations about being
insulted, and fitted away.
"a very little of each, to be sure"
were the words which rang in the ears
OF the artist, and it seemed to him they
same as in a dream."-Detroit Tribune.
