vagrants got into 1t and converted a number of stones into temporary pill lows.
 Even people with homes could tell some strange stories on this head. Of course in some countries beds are un- known. Tine Japanese, for example, sleep on the floor untitled in great wadded coat and with block of wood for a pillow. But, confning ourselves to England, just talk to the dwellers in the slums on this subject. Why, going to bed there during the summer months is positively inviting torture. Many places swarm with vermin, and conse- quently those who live in them find it more comfortable to sleep anywhere rather than in the proper place-even on the doorstep.
 The manager of the Isle of Man hotel remarked few months ago that "vis- itors" never went to bed. His servants are often asked to provide breakfasts at 8 or 1 a. m. Certainly the streets of Douglass are pretty lively any time dur ing the season.
 A gentleman is fond of relating that one night select party settled not far from his bedroom window and created the most discordant din imaginable. He bore it with exemplary patience for about five hours, and then, dressing him self, he went out and mildly expostu- lated, saying he wanted some sleep.
 "Sleepr' roared one of the gang, blow ing a terrific blast on a toy trumpet; "then what did you come to the Isle of Man for?"
 They say at Blackpool, too, that if you arrive at any hour of the day or night you are just in time for something or other. The story goes that early one morning dance was in progress on one of the piers, when a shipwrecked sailor, who had been drifting about on spar and had fortunately Handed" on the girders below, crawled up the steps. The M. C. came forward-they are never surprised at Blackpool-smiled, bowed and said: Pleased to see you, sir. Can l find you partner?-Cassell's Journal.

Visiting for Pleasure They Waste No Time
 in Going to Bed.
 A man charged with begging once de- clared that he had not been in bed for thirteen years; he took his rest in door, ways and passages. This is not bad record, but many of the homeless class could probably beat it. Certainly there nre thousands-not only in England, but all over the world-to whom such lux ury as bed is unknown; unfortunates gre obliged to lay their heads in the odd est places imaginable to prevent their Icing rudely awakened by the police.
 A sad ne'er-do-well told the writer that this was his principal thought for inore days than he could count. Where should he sleep that night? And he had a theory that but for having this object constantly in view as he tramped over the monotonous pavements of Lon don he must have lost his reason. He laughed himself in after days when he thought of some of his experiences at dozing out
 Even he, however, never slept in stream, which was what some thirty persons of both sexes did at Buda- Pesth few years back. The water, which was warm, flowed from mill. and the

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 5.--[Special.lE
Senator Squire has been authorized and
on Monday will report his bill appropriate
ing $500, 900 for public building at Seat
tie. The committee was unanimous in
favor of this bill, as the facts of the growth
and development of Seattle as well as the
splendid showing of its postal receipts
and its immense customs business was
such as to convince the members
of the committee that Seattle
should have building and that
the amount named in the bill
was none too small. Senator Squire will
put his bill through the Senate without
delay, and then his popularity with the
House members will no doubt enable him
TO secure its favorable consideration in
that body.
Senator Squire was also highly gratified
by being authorized to report favorably
his bill for monument to General Grant,
TO be erected in Washington City. This is
very popular measure here and its intro
duction and passage through the Senate
will make many friends in the East for the
senator from the far-away state.

THE ANTI-OPTION BILL.
FORK Packer Whitaker Makes an Ar
gument in Favor of 1t.

sohUhs III avOr OF IFs
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5-John Whitaker.
large pork packer of St Louis and Wichita,
Kan, today addressed the House committee on
agriculture in advocacy of the anti-optiou bill.
He said:
Inc tendency of short selling was to depress
prices and interfere with legitimate trade The
farmers are not compelled to market their grain
instead OF storing 1t, but the experience OF the
past eight years taught them, with this uulim-
led short selling, that the best time for them to
selL gram was when it was harvested.
The wheat exported this wear probably
averaged in price % cents bushei
and If this proposed law had been in force he
believed II would have brought considerably
more than dollar bushel He did not think
the law would hurt the owners of grain or pro-
visions, because II the fictitious offering was
done away with the market would be supplied
with actual grain or provisions, and there being
smaller quantity offered the prices would be
better In his Judgment, this fictitious selling
produced an abnormal condition of the market
Whlch defeated the Law OF supply and demand.
lie frequently received letters from Europe say
ing that the writers could pay better prices for
meats II the American market would only be
kept steady.
In reply to number of questions Whitaker
sad that in the last eight or ten years specula-
i've business had grown immensely, and he
thought there were more sellers than buyers
he was asked why it was that when a report
IKE Bradstreets or the government reports
were given out, showing large estimated CROP
prices go down. He replied: They work that
on a large crop, and vice versa. If the crops are
small all prices go up a little" Moses asked:
IL meat transactions are confined to real
products only, could not the Western packers
form trust, get control OF the actual products
anu put the price away beyond the reach OF the
consumers? Gould not Armour, for instance
with mas millions OF money, get control OF ALL
or enough wheat, to control tho price and send
it up to 81 bushe?
whitaker did not believe in the first place
that 1t would be good policy and, in the second
place, aid not believe combination necessary
to its success could be formed
