LONG DELAYED PAY DAY.

Indian Scouts Begin Receiving Money for
Services in the Sixties.
ST. PAUL, March SIS. II. Elrod,
United States disbursing agent, began
Monday morning in st. Paul to pay of
the claims of the surviving Sioux scouts
and the descendants of the deceased,
who served in the Indian wars of the
early sixties, and who have not been in
cluded among those residing on the
Sisseton reservation in South Dakota.
Mr.. Elrod has on his list the names OF
1873 original scouts and soldiers, but
about two-thirds of these are dead, and
in these instances the funds will be paid
to the descendants. The amount to be
distributed is $126, 900, which gives each
claimant something over $780, This is
case of long delayed justice, as the
claims of these Indians have been stand
ing against the government for over
twenty years.

FAWRS FREE COINAGE.
Resolution to Take Up the
Bland Silver Bill Passed
by the House.
Free Silver Advocates Highly
Pleased Over the Result
of the Debate.
Congressman Kendall, of Kentucky,
N Dies Suddenly of Apoplexy at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The debate
in the house on the order from the COM
mittee rules setting apart March %, 81
and "a for the consideration of the
Bland silver bill was prefaced by a
lively parliamentary controversy upon
the ruling of the chair as to the priority
of the order over the reading of the
journal. Immediately after the prayer
by the chaplain Mr.. Bland asked for i'm
mediate consideration of the order. TIC
this Mr.. Tracy, of New York, objected
on the ground that it was not in order
until after the journal had been read.
The speaker declared it was in order
for the gentleman from Mississippi to
call up the resolution. The reading of
the resolution was concluded.
Mr. Dingley-Has the chair ruled that
this report of the committee on rules can
be considered before the journal has been
read?
The Speaker-The chair has. That is
the provision of the rule.
Mr.. Dingley-The same provision of the
rules would confer the same privilege on
conference reports.
The Speaker-It does not confer the
same privilege on conference reports. The
gentleman is mistaken. There are ex-
press limitations against conference re-
ports.
Mr.. Dingley-Then the chair decides
that business can be done before the read
ing of the journal.
The Speaker-The chair so decides.
Mr. Tracey-I appeal from the decision
of the chair.
In advocacy of his appeal he said that
it would be an unfortunate precedent tC
make that the committee on rules, con-
sisting practically of three members,
could come into the house and force up
on the three hundred odd members the
consideration of any resolution they
might desire to call up. The honse
ought to proceed with great caution.
The decision of the speaker was sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Tracey then moved to re-commit
the resolution with instruction to the
committee on rules to change the date
for the consideration of the silver bill
from March 90 to Dec. ~, which was
lost and the original resolution was
adopted, amid applause by free silver
advocates.
The vote stood 199 to IS.
The invalid pension bill was then
called up by Mr.. O'Neill, of Massachu-
sets. Mr.. Circuit, of Vermont, moved
to recommit the bill, with certain in
structions to the committee on appro-
priations on yea and nay vote. This
motion was lost, 164 to S. The bill
was then passed and the house adj
journed.

TO SET ASIDE THE LEASES.

First Suit Growing Out of the Reading
Deal Filed at williamsport, Pa.
WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, March 8.-Ma-
thias Fl. Arnot, of Elmira, N. Y, has
filed in the parliamentary Office of the
court of common pleas, this city, bill
in equity against the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway company, the Lehigh
Valley Railroad company, the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company, the Gen.
trail Railway of New Jersey and the
Port Reading Railway company to re-
strain them from acting under the
agreement recently made for combina-
ton of interests.
1t sues to set aside the leases made by
the Lehigh Valley company, Central
New Jersey and Philadelphia and Read
ing ON the ground that they conflict
with the state constitution and are
therefore invalid and void. Mr.. Arnot
is a millionaire banker of Elmira, and
as he is large stockholder in both the
Reading and the Lehigh Valley roads,
he feels that his interests are in jeop-
ardy by the recent Reading deal. This
is the first action that has been brought
against the Reading growing out of this
famous deal and sharply contested
legal battle will be fought.

He showed signs of extreme nervous

vent the irritation produced by sounds
that penetrated the sick room, the door
bell was muff1ed, the street was block

Epid.mic of suicides.

ASHLAND, Wis. March S.-Suicide
seems epidemic here the past few days.
A homesteader named Luvaine tried to
have his head chopped off by the cars
the same as the guillotine act of Gus
Peterson Saturday. He was rescued
after a desperate encounter, and fought
his rescuers with a club. He tried to
stick his head under the trucks of a
moving train at the same place where
Peterson's head was cut off clean. This
makes three suicides in one week.

When Christ Was Born.

Speculative and philosophical writers
have long since established the fact that
we have no proof that Dec. 25 is the
date of the birth of the Messiah. At
one time the beginning of the Christian
era was supposed to conform with the
great event above mentioned, but it has
been pretty clearly established that
Christ was not born on the day we cele-
brate as Christmas or at any other time
during a winter month.
The date now unanimously agreed
upon by scholars is April 5, not April .
of the year Of one" but April 8, 4 3. G..
This error in our mode Of reckoning
time is supposed to have arisen from the
fact that the dating of time GA. D." was
not introduced until about the year 527
of the Christian era.-St. Louis Re-

"My wife ought to know that love
her without being always told Of il"
retorts the oman, proud man, dressed
in a little brief authority" How
would she know it, pray? Not by
your actions, surely, for they proclaim
in trumpet tones, that she is, "some-
thing dearer'' than your dog, "a little
better" than your horse. Indeed,
this seems something of an eXaggera-
ton. You have been known to caress
your horse quite frequently, and your
dog never comes about you without
receiving a loving word or all affec-
tionate pat on the head. Yet the
heart of a loving woman, and that
woman your wife, is wounded and
sore under your long indifference. "If
you love her, tell her So"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-03-03

There is time to tell those things,
you understand, and time when it is
too late to tell them. The saddest
thing about bending over a tired face,
about to be shut away under a coffin
lid, is that the ears are closed and
would not hear our agonized protesta-
tions of love, though we shouted till
our Threats were rent. How willing
we are to kiss the pallid lips, the
marble forehead! but they thrill no
more beneath our touch! What pity
that we did not think to kiss them
oftener, when the arm blood throbbed
beneath them. There will always be
plenty of time for love, we thought,
and then we were SO busy! But, all,
there was not plenty of time!
