he had prepared letter for the Asso-

it, however, the story went, he was per-

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 1S.-Tho
feature OF interest to-day was the dis
closures regarding the recent attempt
Of Senator Hill to restrain tho judy
nent Of the House elections committee
in tho Noyos Rockwell case, and which
almost resulted in personal encounter
between the New Yorl; senator and
Col. O'Fe.rall, OF Virginia, chairman OF
the elections committee. Rockwell So
cured his certificate TO his scat by irreg-
rlar proceedings. Though Democrat
the Court oil Appeals OF tho state OF
New York, tho political complexion OF
which is Democratic, decided in favor
Of Noyes the Republican contestant. In
the meantime Rockwell had secured the
Certificate and IL could not bc recalled.
Ever since the present house was or
sanized it has been the intention OF the
Democratic leaders to seat Moves, who
has al undoubted right to tho scat.

On this representation the New York
senator agreed TO have tho house cleo

Democratic members OF the committee
were sent for, and each was given to un-
Gerstand that it wonld be personally
offensive to Hill if q New York Demo-

Colonel O'Ferrall replied that the

Storms the moonlit halls of space.

Music grand usurps his place.

Mounts the car of harmony.

Pointing thee with unseen fingers,
To the realms of pure delight.

Model OF an Old Fiat Boat Worked
M by Hand cranks.
II was said of the boy Robert Full.
ton that he was what might be called
n dull scholar and onca when chidcd
by his teacher for his inattentiun n
his studies he replied that his head
was so full OF original notions that
there was no place to stors away the
contents OF dusty booka ri
One OF the neighbors of his father
one Denter Grumpp was very fond Of
fishing and he had built for this pur-
pose fiat bott0med boat or Sow. and
he used to avail himself OF the labors
OF his son Christopher and his neigh
boris son Robert to aid him In his pur-
suit by getting them to pole the boat
over the waters of the ConestoQa.
while he fish poled the perch and bass
into the boat AS we'll may be imaS.
lned this was not much amusement for
the boys but one OF them put on his
thinking cap as he pushed his way
along, and. as usual pushing and
thinking won in the end.
firing Of pole pushing Robert Full
ton concluded that he would go over
the hills and make his aunt a visit OF
week or So and IL was In the garree
OF his aunt's house that he built a
model OF Denter Grumpps Nat. boat.
TO which he planned and arranged a
pair OF paddle wheels on cross shaft
having on II hand cranks. Coming
back home he confded to his chum
Christopher his invention. and. Sc
curing his aid they together rugged
up paddle shaft with wheels and
cranks for the fiat. boat OF the elder
Grumpp. This was so arranged that
the whole machinery could be- lifted
of and be taken to place OF safety
while not In use.
1t was not long before the elder
Grumpp had, as many another since
has had. longing to try his luck
again on the waters OF the Conestoga.
and he summoned the be!oretime re-
luctant boys to help him out. What
his surprise was we perhaps can i'm.
agine rs he looked back from the, boat
and saw the two boys struggling down
the river bank with a queer looking
conglomeration OF iron and wood In
the shape OF cranks and wheels on
their shoulders and just how the boys
chuckled together as they saw the
surprise In the staid old Dutchman's
face we can also imagine.
However after suppressed glggling.
they hung the shaft In its place and
the wheels over the side. taxing their
places at the cranks and then and
there started the first paddle wheel

CATFISH THEIR ONLY FOOD.

Coiored People OF savAnn nah Catch Loads

The city OF Savannah is advantage.
ously situated on the river of the same
name advantageously for some things
not set down In biographies or guide
book4 For instance the dock labor
ers there are INDUCING themselves In
the expensive luxury Of a strike; and
here is where occurs the application
OF the advantages overlooked.
The Savannah river swarms with
catfish. The strikers are nearly all
darkies The .wenches" ask no bet
ter enjoyment than to sit on the banks
of the stream and catch these catfish.
and the bucks esteem catfish nearly
as highly as they do watermelon.
So II happens that this combination
of the river. the colored laborers the
colored women. the catfish and the
strike threaten to make the shipping
business OF Savannah experience q
very bad time
The darlxies are as obstinate as thsy
can we'll be; they GAN live at very lit
tie expense--thanks to the advantages
above noted--and they will stand q
long tussle before they knuckle
All OF which is very instructive as
IL demonstrates again that no man Is
absolutely helpless until he is fully
divorced from natural opportunities.
Certainly there is better food than
catfish--but on the other hand catfish
IS better than no food at all. Chicago

HERE'S AN IDEA.

Housekeepers Advised to Have Their

Housekeepers who have never had

HgE0Dsi to ~ valuable articles OF domestic
JaUIeh asHepaE as an ordinary kitchen
Get the tin-smith to fit u sheet OF I'm
on the table and perTorate the edges
for lacking. The tin should cover the
thickness OF the board top. that it may
be tackled on the under side OF the
table.
A table so covered needs no scrub
bing, is impervious to hot kettles,
sheds grease as the provcrbial ducks
back does water and in fact cheers
the heart OF the kitchen maid more
than anything on earth except her
wages and her company. The wom-
an who does her own work should not
let another dawn find her without one.
IL she is not at present rejoicing in It.
Said wise family man the other day.
Anything which simplifies the do
nestle labor OF the household should
be regarded as OF distinct benefit to
mankind. and he was speaking OF a
Uncovered kitchen table upon whose
virtues his wife was dilating.
A fair and cheap substitute Is found
by covering tables with the marble
cloth sold sometimes for washs lands
and children's bibs. 1t was Mephis-
topheles himself who designed kitchen
tables out OF soft pine boards. With
their absorbent and spreading quail
ties tiny drop OF grease Is quickly
converted into an unsightly blotch.
and hot handle or kettle sears Its in
delible mark across their surface.
They were made certainly, to be COW
cred.
Another good use OF marbled cloth
Is for the floor Of closets 1t Is easily
put down and fitted. Many closets
are seldom stepped into and as there
is hardly any. or at least but triainp
wear. its durable qualities are not
tested. Closet floors so covered may
be easily wiped over with damp
cloth every morning. thus securing
all loose dust and preventing any In
Jury from 1t to clothes that may b.
piled or hanging within. Chicago

One of the leading mine owners In
Colorado says that, electricity has
opened up a new era in the production
OF silver. Many OF the high mountain
mines have been almost valueless be-
cause OF the expense of transporting
fuel to them. Now, through the utili-
cation OF water power with the electric
motor, these mines can be operated
cheaply, and q notable increase Of
output may be looked for.
