MR.. BAILEY'S PROTEST.
He Does Not Want to Be Bound
by Caucus Action.
THE SENATE.

As soon ~ the journal Of yesterday was read
the joint resolution extending up to and in
ending the 10th Of August the provisions Of ex-
listing law as to appropriations for the public
service Was received from the House and was
laid before the Senate. An inquiry by Mr..
Pssco directed to Mr.. Allison) whether this
extension might be regarded as the last, was
answered by statement that Mr. Allison would
give the information with pleasure if he were
aoie TO do SO. His impression was. however,
that congress was nearer to adjournment than
1t had been four or five days ago Laughter
He hoped that before the expiration of those
five days the difficulties would be solved favor
ably, and therefore he thought it wise TO have
the extension made. To further suggestion Of
have the extension go till Decem-
Der next Mr.. Allison said that that
would fall far short Of providing for the neces-
cary expenses of the government and that it
might be fairly presumed that those who we're
responsible for the existing condition Of affairs
would hasten conclusion Of the matter.
The joint resolution was then passed.
NOT TO VISIT THE FAIR
The resolution reported yesterday from the
committee on contingent expenses author
izing the committee on quadro-centen-
NAL to visit the worlds fair buildings at
chicago to obtain information as to the expend-
ltures, was laid before the Senate and Mr..
'Cockrell opposed it vehemently. declaring that
THESE multitudinous arrangements for Senate
committees during the recess would turn out
to be disgracefui.
The resolution was rejected, and Mr.. Petit
grew Chairman Of the qundro-centennial COM
mittee) moved a reconsideration.
Pending action on that motion the Senate
took recess till 80
THE EXTENSION RESOLUTION
The Senate reassembled at 1:3O and i'm
mediately afterward q message was received
from the House announcing that its
Speaker had signed the enrolled joint res
olution extending the appropriations to tho
10th instant, and that the House insisted on its
disagreement to the Senate amendments on the
sundry civil appropriation bill (the worlds fair
amendment), and agreed to further confer
ence.
The Vice President thereupon signed the
JOINT resolution and it was sent to the Presi-
dent, and on motion of Mr.. Allison the Senate
adjourned till 2 clock tomorrow,

STREET-CAR klCKERS.
Some Types Peculiar To the City OF NIL.
waukee.


Did you ever notice carload OF
women Jagged about fifty) who sat cross
legged with one foot suspended in the
air near the shins of passengers, with
paraSols stuck across the aisle and bun
dies and baskets scattered about? Did
you ever see the conductor try to get
through such a talking and gray-headed
group to collect fares? The next time
you get "a chance to observe such
group do so. and hear their remarks as
the conductor endeavors not to step on
their toes, as he falls over their tangled
legs, and as his shoe comes in contact
with the polished handle of some one of
their parasols.
Both male and female of the variety
known as the wrong-car kickers are
vigorous. They will stand on "A corner
dreaming until they are suddenly
aroused by the sound of the approach
ing or passing car. They throw up
their hands as If commanded TO do SO
by highway robbers and scramble on
10 the car without looking to see
whether they have hailed the right car
or not. When they have been on the
street-car about as long as they think
necessary to reach their destinations
they look out of the window and dis
cover that they are in strange part
OF the town. In the case of
women they screech, and shout: Say,
sab, condu4or-r-r! Why did you
not tell me that i was on the wrong
car? Where am /? What street Us
this?' The conductor informs them
well, let me off, +" says the lost woman,
land / will walk" There is generally
great deal of accent on the word
walk"
The wrong change kicker is we'll
known character on the street cars of
Milwaukee, He will get on loaded
ear and hand the conductor ha'f dol
lar coin, get his change and after the
conductor has collected the rest of
fares he will call him up and ask:
where is the rest of my change?
! gave you n dollar and you gave
me forty-five cents in change"
The conductor tries TO explain to him;
but he will not listen. And he threat
ems 10 have the conductor fired for try
ing to rob passengers.
\ bothersome kicker is the dust
kicker who wants the doors and win
dows all closed so that the dust will
not soil his black suit. The close at.
mosphere kicker wants the doors and
windows open because he is suffocat-
ing or perspiring SO profusely as to
spoil his shirt-front. Another kind of
kicker kicks because he discovers that
some one is smoking inside of the car
and is trying to make smoked ham of

4 certain literary German whose
manner of speaking was extremely de-

petuosity of any sort under any circum-
stances had an amusing experience in a
restaurant one day. He was a we'll
known figure among the patrons of
this particular restaurant, as he seldom
dined anywhere else, and he generally
was served by a waiter who had be-
come used TO his way of speaking; but
one day new waiter took his order
and brought his soup. II can not eat
this SOUP" said the gentleman, slowly,
not looking up from his plate, after he
had summoned the waiter for the Sec
ond time. The man seized the offend
ing dish before the customer could
finish the sentence and vanished
with it. He reappeared in a moment
with another supply of the same soup,
which he placed before the gentleman,
and then stood regarding him with an
anxious face, wondering what could be
the reason the soup remained untasted.
II can not eat this soup" again slowly
remarked the literary man. "Why not,
sir? What is the matter?" stammered
the unhappy waiter, who had been told
he was serving an important person.
II can not eat this SOUP" said the liter

THE FIRST STREET CAR.

1t Was Built in New York by Man Yet
Living.
The first means of street Transports
ton in use in this country for the gem
eral public was the omnibus, of which
the Jacob Sharp stages" on Broadway
were the last survival in the antiquated
form. Within "A few years modified
type of the omnibus used in Paris has
made its appearance on Fifth avenue,
and within d shorter period a somewhat
closer copy of the Partisan vehicle has
been successfully brought into use on
Broad street, Philadelphia. For years
the street car has served as the only
means of transportation for the people
TO and from their homes, and has
thus been fruitful source of develop
ment in all the cities of this
country where an imperative de-
mand existed for cheap street travel.
Enormous fortunes have been made
out of these enterprises, and street-car
''stocll" is one of the best dividend-pay-
ing investments in the country. 1t is
not to be wondered at that there is so
much eagerness shown in securing
street-railway franchises. The first
street railway chartered was the New
York e. Harlem. April 25, 1881. This is
the road now popularity known in New
York city as the Fourth Avenue"
The first car was built and patented by
the venerable John Stephenson, Esq.
yet living, hale and hearty, at the age
of eighty-one.
This car was named the John Ma
hot t1a,, ~
the Chemical bank and also of the street
railway company. Mr. Stephenson has
in his possession the patent and the
original drawing of this car. The patent
was taken out in 1888, signed by Andrew
Jackson, president; Edward Living
stone, secretary OF state; L. Il. fancy
attorney-general, and John Campbell.
treasurer. These magic names, his
torically great in the political story of
our country, and this document, attest
ing as IL does a complete revolution in
street transportation all over the world,
is of itself a valuable and interesting
relic.
The car in question was transition
from the existing styles of coachwor
being the union OF three Quaker coaches
suspended on four short leather
Thorough braces" which afforded an
ease of comfort not since cxccled. Its
picture represents it as cross between
an omnibus rockaway, and an English
railway coach. 1t was divided on the in
side into three compartments, each
seating ten passengers; the roof held
two seats, one at each end, with room
for ten more persons - Harper's

DONkEYS AND DOGS.
Hos a Humane Woman Substituted the
Former for the Latter.

Hos Humane Woman Substituted the
Former for the Latter.
Americans who travel through the
Netherlands or the French provinces
are shocked at the cruelty with which
animals are treated by these otherwise
humane and kindly peoples. Dogs are
used by the poorer class MS beasts Of
draught, instead OF horses and mules.
and it is not uncommon to see a half
starved cur, its bones almost protrud-
ing through its skin, dragging huge
cart, in which. on top of the load, sits
the lazy owner. swearing and cracking
his whip.
A pleasant story in connection with
this custom is told in Belgian village.
About twenty years ago Mile. Louise
lived in this town. She was the daugh-
ter of French physician. girl Of
eighteen, not remarkable for beauty,
talent or wit; but she wanted To do
some good in the world.
She had at one time vague plans of
going to Greenland as n missionary.
but her health was not strong enough.
One day she saw peasant named
Cartier beating his dog brutally near
her gate. The dog was weak and half
fed, and bleeding from his wounds; the
load was enormous
She could do nothing. The man had
no sense of pity. The dog was his
property, and he had legal right TO
beat it To death if he chose.
But something she resolved TO do.
This one little wrong she would try to
set right. She was "a shrewd as well as
a humane girl. She saved something
from the little allowance given her by
her father until she was able To buy "a
stout donkey, and have money enough
besides TO buy the peasants dog. Then
she bought the dog from Cartier, and
offered to let him have the donkey at a
very low rate. on condition that the bar
gain should be annuled the moment he
bought another dog or abused the
donkey.
Her young friends laughed at her
After all she had rescued from misery
only one dog among thousands. Bat
the story was told throughout the viii
lage. 1t received favorable comments
from both rich and poor "Donlleys,"
thought the latter, undoubtedly are
stronger than dogs. has Mademoiselle
P any more that can be hired on the
same terms?"
The elders in the community. good
people. and humane at heart. gave
more thought to the fact that the dogs
were cruelty tortured. The abuse had
been going on for centuries. Now that
this girl had done something to abate
it, why should they not join in her eff
fort?
year had hardly passed before sew
eral of the prominent citizens of the
village had united to buy strong mules
or0draught horses, which were hired
on reasonable terms by the laboring
men, and the sense of humanity thus
wakencd began to show itself in kindly
acts toward man as well as beasts
The town is now the only one in the
Netherlands in which no dogs are har-
messed. There are in it also two asy
lums and a hospital, the outgrowth OF
the wider, deeper Christian feeling
kindled by the simple acts of one earn
est woman.

Or opportunity to do great work foi
