motion of her delft fingers she served the
steaming beverage. and gradually appeared to
be growing thoughtful.
With the advent Of darkness lamps and
candles were lighted and the floor swept in
preparation for the browning event OF the
festive occasion-the dancing and distribution
of gifts. First the men got up to dance in the
center Of the circle. They stripped themselves
of all outer clothing and tripped around in q
ring. one following close upon the other while
the women sang and boys beat time
with sticks. This monotonous performance
was kept up for some time until the
tired men allo we'd themselves to be re-
heved by the women. who. however. retained
their garments. and were soon suffering in pro-
fuse persplration-victims of an advanced civil
llzatlon. While the fair ones were tripping the
hight fantastic in rather solemn manner the
men did the singing and beating of time. At
last old Stepan declared his intention to dance.

tertainment and all busted themselves getting

Campbell asked whether. in view of the condi-
ton of Mrs. Florence Ethel Osborne, who is
serving nine months sentence in connection
with the great pearl CASE and the danger to
her unborn child, a pardon would be granted

rule to discharge female prisoners unless there
we're special medical reasons, which did not
exist in the prisoners case.

Mrs. Sherman is known the length and

years in official life has made the home Of
Senator and Mrs. Sherman like that of a perma-
nent resident. No one better understands the
demands of society and few are better able to
acquit themselves of all its manifold obliga-
lions. Therefore many know her intimately
and think it the happiest privilege of their
lives to lie able to say SO. Few women are
better acquainted with national events than
she is, ana fewer still whose ripened judgment
would carry the same weight on almost any
topic Of general interest. In manner she is
kind hearted but quiet, and perhaps little
reserved, though always a fluent talker and
charming companion with those she knows
well. Senator and Mrs. Sherman have but one
daughter, Miss Mary sherman, whose child
hood was spent in this city.

employees were killed injured on this CONT
nent IN 1891. Of this number Of casualties
ABOUT one-half were due to the primitive and
oia-time oarbarous mode Of coupling cars. In

tire convention of railroad men are sacrificed
every year by causes that are easily preyentable.

curing that all railroads shall equip freight

WILL 1T BE A FAILURE ?
THE CALIFORNIA ExHIBIT AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.
state Commissioners Criticised for Pur-
suing Marrow Policy--No For
estry Exhibit Authorised.

CHICAGO, June ia letter was re-
ceived at the worlds fair headquarters,
today, from John Daggett, one of the
members of the California state board i,
stating that the board will not take any
interest in exhibits for the forestry
building; that all they intend to do is
to prepare an exhibit to 90 into the
California state building. This is sim
liar to one received some time ago in
reference to an exhibit in the mining
building. The chief Of the forestry
building says he is authorized by this
letter not to reserve any space in this
building for California exhibitors.
Thorough lack OF knowledge is
evinced by every communication which
the California commissioners have sent
to headquarters in this city. While
every other state board, throughout the
union, is using all it's. exertione and
money to foster and secure great exhib-
its in all the different department build
ings, the California board seems to be
doing everything it can to prevent this
great state from having any exhibits in
any of the great exhibition buildings.
While the state of California has made
one of the largest appropriations Of any
state in the union, from present appear.
ances, its exhibition, outside OF the state
building, will be perfect failure. It is
a great pity that men with some knowl-
edge of the work to be performed, were
not secured by this great state to look
out for the welfare of it's citizens. The
general disposition now at headquarters
is not to reserve any space in any of the
buildings for California, except what
the board has agreed to take in the agri-
cultural building.

PETER spoke on the bill introduced by
him May 26th, to increase the currency

convenient places to loan money to the

No corporation or firm shall hereafter
receive more than 5 per cent interest on
short time, nor moro than 4 per cent fol
year or longer. Provision is made fo1
loans on agricultural products in ware
houses at the rate Of per cent.
Much of Peffer's speech was in denun-
citation of usury, which he said was
breaking down the republic. The re.
public would 60 down unless the people
were saved. There was no way Of saw.

to the people, as much as for providing
for the carriage of the mails or regulat'

At the close Of his speech the bill went
over without action. 4sg.
