to allow the blood to remain impure, and
it is especially reckless, when such a

Il is the purpose Of the free coinage dem
ocrsts Of the House TO renew their efforts
tognorrow 70 pass the Bland bill. II
Representative Catchings, one Of the mem
bers of the committee on rules. returns in
time that committee will report 9 special
order for the immediate consideration Of
the bill. The anti-free coinage members
will, it is expected, oppose the order. and a
very lively parliamentary battle with
respect to it Is likely TO occur. II the special
order is defeated the fight In behalf Of free
silver coinage will be over for this session.
II 1t Is granted there will be another strug
gle over the bill, though IL Is not probable
that there will be any lengthy discu ssion
OF it.
The vote taken last Thursday on the mo-
ton TO lay the bill OF the table showed that
the opposing forces are almost evenly di-
vided. 1t is estimated that on an abso-
lutely full vote the silver men have a ma
jority Of one. Thursday's vote, however,
was a great surprise to the opponents as
well as the friends OF silver. IL was thought
before a vote was taken that the silver men
had at least twenty majority. The fact that
the opposing forces are so evenly balanced
may induce some of the democrats who
doubt the wisdom of passing free coinage
bill at this session either to absent them
selves from the House or to vote against
the bill.
Thursdays vote demonstrated that the
Democratic party of New York, Connectir
cut and New Jersey is against the free

bill should be passed by the House the prob
abilities are that in the presidential CAM
paign the Democratic party would not
carry any one Of those states. Il is certain
that II 1t should lose all Of them 10 would
lose the presidency. Under the circum-
stances . good many democratic represent
atives are likely to hesitate 60 assist in
passing through the House a free coinage
bill that would have no chance whatever of
becoming q law, because IL 1t should reach
the PRESIDENT he would veto it.
The reason Speaker Crisp and 80 many
other democratic congressman from the
south are urging the passage Of the bill is
that they fear unless the Democratic party
commits itself 20 the free coinage Of silver
by passing through the House q free coinage
bill there will be so much dissatisfaction
among southern democrats that it will be
an easy matter to lead many Of them into
the Peoples party. There is not much
ground for fearing anything OF that kind.
II the bill should not be passed the great
majority of democratic voters would see be-
fore the presidential campaign is over that
by passing 1t the democrats would havs
made grave mistake.

A Cats swaar OFF,

Samuel Mcdonald, saloonkeeper at Frank
fort road and Vienna street, possesses a cat
which he calls Hector. and which, up to half a
year ago, was staid and happy pet, enioyine
the respect and affection of the whole McDon9
aid family. says the Philadelphia Times
The cats downfall commenced one day when
ne wandered into a saloon which is attached TO
the Mcdonald home, and as he was a favorite
with Tim, the bartender, was allowed to inn
bibe small quantity Of beer. Thereafter he
was regular frequenter at the saloon. and
soon began to have as ardent and perDetuaI A
thirst for beer as the most confirmed inehriata
All OF his former decorum and self-respect
dWlndled away, and Hector soon became dirty
and disreputable, avoided the family and Law
under table In the barroon all day. He had
lost all friends but Tim, the bartender. who
several times q day gave him a pretty good
quantity OF beer. which he lost NO time in
drinking. -
This state Of things continued until the an
pearance OF a new cat In the house-a very
picture or rigid spectability-which the few
times that Hector saw him, treated him with
the utmost contempt and refused all overtures
OF acquaintanoeshtp About q month ago after
fight, Hector suddenly left the barroom and
was gone several days. When be reappeared he
was clean and preseptable once more. and
seemed to have recovered his old pride and
spirits. Nothing could tempt him to enter the
saloon again, and when Tim offered him beer
once he became furiously enraged. He resumed
his former virtuous habits and temperate life
was as tidy and dainty as ever he was and is
now gradually winning his way again to the re-
spect and esteem Of the family, to the evident
surprise and cbagrin Of the other cat.

He had the afr Of man Of the world, says
the Boston Herald. His dress was becoming
and not too snowy. He seemed 70 be an indi-
vidusi who had dined well. who would tell good
stories at the club.
Stretched out in the barber's chair in the hair
dressers room on School street, instead OF set
thing down with that Indifferent, satisfied
air that usually comes over a man In that situa-
ton. he seemed troubled. He looked about
from chair to chair, yet he was not happy. The
barber shaved him and was so impressed that
he even forgot 70 talk him to death Then the
man sat bolt upright in the chair and took an
envelope from bis pocket. Il was scented; the
had, too.
The strange man opened It. took out a note,
read lt over and over again, then from its folds
withdrew lock Of hair. It was golden. and
the victims who were waiting for their turn in
the chair saw him kiss the sunny lock and put
1t back in the envelope.

the tufts OF hair which surrounded bald spot
on the strange mans head.
No. no, not for the world" he replied. Il
cannot spare any"

''No." was the rather curt reply.

penseT said the man without hesitation. II
must send my best girl lock of hair and
can't spare mine. Come, how much Is It
WORTH" and the eyes of the colored boy who
brushes coats bulged out beyond his forehead.
Sell II for a small bottler' replied the man
with good growth on his head. and the stranger
answered: ''rll 90 you.''
The barber began his work and lock of the
mans hair was handed over to the stranger
who put 1t in a little silver locket that bore q
monogram. Then, when the work was finished
the two walked out together.
The stranger was smiling oontentedly. the
club man grinned, the barber laughed and the
customers gazed on in astonishment.

MS promise and send me lock Of his hair?"
said the pretty girl that night as she took the
daintiest sort Of a locket from little box. And
all was still but for the beating of her faithful
heart
