ANTI-OPfION'S CHANCES.
Senator Washburn Confident That His
Measure VIII Pass the Senate.

Senator Washburn Confident That His
Measure VIII Pass the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. I1.-[Special J.
Senator Washburn fully expects that the
anti-option bill which bears his name in
the Senate and the name of Hatch in the
House will come up for consideration to-
morrow, and that it will pass the Senate
after few days discussion. Possibly no
measure was ever introduced in Congress
since the first Congress was held which is
of closer personal interest to so many peo-
pie, or at least to the speculative element
of the people, which in these days includes
nearly everybody, and the closing days of
its discussion will therefore be watched
with intense interest in every nook and
corner of the land.
The bill was introduced in the House
last April, passed that body by great ma
iority after q remarkably brief discussion
early in June, and was amended and dis
cussed in the Senate from the time of its
reception there until the session was nearly
at an end, when it was postponed until the
first Monday in December. While the
amendment of the Senate is imposing In
appearance, it really does no more than
make plain the difference between gambling
or speculative options and legitimate sales
of Futures" The amendment clearly e1
cepts the latter class of futures and options,
and thus sileDcss the objection of those
who asserted that the Hatch bill would pro-
hibit the sale of an article by its actual
owner for future delivery.

BLESSED THE BELLS.

An Interesting Ceremony at the st. Adel-
bert's Church on the SouthsIde-A Num-
Der of Priests Assist in the services-A
Large Crowd Attended.
The ceremony of blessing the bells at the
st. Adelbert Church on South Fifteenth
street yesterday excited not little interest
among the members, so that the church was
packed long before the time for the cere-
monies to begin. All the Catholic societies
on that side of the river turned out for the
occasion, many of them being in full uni
form. A company of the Knights OF ST.
George acted as an escort to the priests
from the parsonage to The church.
The ceremony lasted for almost two hours,
and was absorbingly interesting to the
large audience. The services we're con-
Quoted by Rev. Father Miskiewicz, who
has charge of the church. The bells were
blessed by the Right Reverend Father
Wall, Vicar General of the Pittsburg dio-
cese, assisted by Rev. Fathers Boniface.
Gallagher, Bernard, May, Schraum, O'Con-
nell and Pluzinski. The ceremony was
simple, consisting for the most part of the
blessing and benediction.
The bells were five in number. They
were placed in front OF the altar and were
tastefully decorated. The largest, which
weighed 8, 175 pounds, had been presented
by Father Miskiewicz, and was named St.
Ladislaus. The others, in the order OF
their size, were named respectively, St.
Adelbert, St. Antonius, St. Joseph, and
st. Casimer. The bells were made in
Baltimore, and had Just been brought here.
The various Catholic societies of the church
had donated them.

considerable talk, rather decided on

Professor Elmer. in his work on
Organic Evolution, is not able to ex-
plain why the dogs of Constantinople
erect the tail and carry it upright,
while the ancestral wolf and the
jackal carry it hanging down DIR.
Joseph L. Hancock suggests that the
reason may be found in the fact that
as the dog becomes domesticated it
is prone to use the tail as an organ
for expressing mental states-wag-
ging it when pleased. dropping it be-
tween the legs when disappointed or
frightened. The ancestral wolf car
ries it hanging down, because in that
position it is less conspicuous and
better eludes detection. A family of
wolves playing together undisturbed
occasionally carry their tails curled
upward.
By degrees the tail acquires natu-
rally the upright position as result
of coincident evolution of the mind
of the wolf by domestication and of
the slow adaptation of the appendage
as an organ of expression. The ces
sation of natural selection in the do
mestic dog would give the tail great
er freedom of motion without detri
ment to life. and artificial selection
modifies it into various shapes. =
