The Senator Who Never Votes.


II Senator Pasco Of Florida should some
day arise in his seat when a vote is being
taken in the Senate and vote on one side or
the other the dignihed senators would be
thrown into oonvulsions. Pasco is a man
who never votes. Since he has occupied a
seat in the Senate he has voted fewer times
than any other member of that body. Not
that he 10 not on hand TO vote, for he is al
ways in his seat and is one Of the most
punctual and Woodworking OF the senator's.
But he is always paired. He has such q
good heart and philanthropic nature that
whenever any senator desires to arrange a
pair with him he cannot bear TO refuse the
request. This fact the other senators know,
and utilize their knowledge accordingly. .
So. whenever a yea and nay vote ia takeu,
the voice Of the senator from Florida Is
heard as he rises in his seat and solemnly
announces, what every one in the Senate
knows beforehand. that he is paired. Not
once this season has he cast a vote when the
yeas and nays were ordered, and now when
he rises to announce his pair gentle smile
plays upon the faces Of the other senators.

tariff duties on textiles, hardware, eartheu-
ware and glass IL was laid on the table,
and the auti-optlons bill was then taken up.
Mr.. George addressed the Senate. He spoke
of the New Orleans and New York Cot
ton Exchanges as being composed of some
900 men not one of whom raised cotton,
consumed it or even handled 10. On one
day in the New York Cotton Exchange
1900 bales or mythical" phantom" or
wind" c )tton had been sold for one bale Of
real cotton, and he asked whether that was
real genuine commerce or whether IL was
gaming
At pos o'clock Mr. George yielded the
floor temporarily at the request of Mr.. Al
hson, who press ted the conference report
on the sundry civil appropriation bill. The
report, although referring to the amend
meuts Of the bill by numbers only, covered
many pages of typewrItten letter size paper
and its reading occupied twenty-five min
utes. MIR. Allison made an explanation Of the
conference report. stating that outside Of tue
provisions about the worlds fair there was
but one other matter left open-the
provisions inserted by the House
prohibiting the employment OF Pink
erton detectives. He went some
what into details upon the other
points on which the Senate conferees had
surrendered. The report was agreed to
and further conference asked as to che
points on which there had been no agree
ment. The Senate voted to insist on it's
amendments disagreed TO by the House and
asked for further conference and then, at
3 O'Clock, the Senate went into executive
session. After the doors were reopened
and some unimportant business had been
transacted, MIR. George resumed the floor
and held IL until 500 O'Clock, his speech
being an argument in favor of his own sub
stitute for the anti-options bill.
Mr.. Wolcott entered motion 10 have
the bill referred to the finance committee
with Instructions to report at the next ses-
sion.
Mr.. Huuton made his maiden speech in
the Senate on the anti-options bill He
rather favored the substitute offered by
Mr.. George, but expressed himself as will
ing to solve in favor of the producer the
doubt as to the constitutionality Of the
pending bill and TO vote for it
Mr.. Allison moved to lay on the table
MIR. Wolcott's motion TO refer, but after
some colloquy he withdrew the motion.

STRIKES LEGALLY RECOGNIZED.

Their Excuse Sufficient for a Work.
man Not Paying Alimony.
ST.. LOUIS, July A.-Judge Klein. Of the
circuit court here, has made ruling which
will be regarded as a victory in labor
circles. Michael Fleischmenn, one of the
striking planning mill men, was in court as
defendant in a suit for a divorce by his
wife, Anna. A motion for alimony was
being argued In the case. Fleischmenn's
attorney put his client on the stand. and
showed by him that he was out of employ
ment, being on strike and without means
and argued that a motion ordering him to
pay his wife alimony should not be entered
under the circumstances.
Mrs. Fleschmenn's lawyers argued that
strikes were no excuse for a man being
idle, and he should be made to support his
wife. Judge Kline, however, decided that
being on a strike was q sufficient cause why
the court should not make the order at the
present time, aud refused 10 grant the
prayer.

A BASE BALL DOG.
He Really Understands What the
Points of the Game Are.
From the Quincy (IH.) Herald.

From the Quincy (IH) Herald.
Down on the bluffs, at the foot Of Nelson
court, a number Of boys congregate every
evening TO play one-old-cat, scrub and
other limited variations of base ball, and
among the players none is more earnest.
skillful and enthusiastic than a Scotch
terrier dog that belongs somewhere in the
neighborhood. He is none of your aimless
and playful puppies, running hither and
thither after the ball, but dog that knows
what's what, and attends to a special line
Of business. His favorite position is behind
the bat, and there he will crouch with eyes
and ears forward, nerves at their highest
tension and jaws wide open, looking for all
the world like Mike Kelly, If he had another
pair Of legs.
He will stop hot ball and the swinging
of the bat never rattles him. He has his
eyes on no one but the pitcher and when
the ball leaves bis hand he knows it is his.
When he catches it he lays 1t on the plate
for some one TO throw it back TO the pitcher.
The other evening while quite a crowd were
watching he ran away of to one side and
caught foul on the fly that had sailed
away up in the air. 1t was a play that
would have been credit to Arson himself.
The crowd on the bluff above applsuded
vigorously, and the dog wagged his tail in
recognition.
He will never bother with ball until 1t is
back Of the plate-in fact, does exactly
what 5000 catcher does
In some OF the crack clubs. Almost every
evening he goes down there and waits for
the boys, and when they choose up sides he
feels disappointed IL he doesn't get posi-
ton. When he is not given a chance to be
catcher, he will, IL told to do 30, stand i'm
mediately behind the catcher and make a
perfect back stop. When he drops into
position then he looks for allsths world like
an umpire, and is more intelligent than
most Of them, according to common report.
He's dog catcher, but not dog-catcher.
II base ball in Quincy goes to the dogs here
is one recruit already.

She Killed the Snake and Died.
From the Pittsbtro Dispatch.

CHARLESTON, s. c., July IA negro
woman, who lived near Hampton's Pond,
left her home on Tuesday forenoon to pick
berries. While moving about in the berry
patch she saw a large rattlesDake curled
up ready to strike her. She started to run,
but her dress caught in the bush, and in an
instant the reptile struck her, his fangs
penetrating her hand. He at once recoiled
and again plunged at her, sinking his fangs
in her hand a second time. He made a
third strike, this time at her face.
The poor woman, with remarkable cour-
age, caught the snake by the head and beat
its head against a stone until IL was dead.
Almost Immediately she was overcome by
the poison and fell unconscious a few steps
away from the body OF the rattlesnake.
There she was found by the neighbors and
revived long enough to tell her story. She
died soon after being taken to her home.
