body who has patiently done penance
around the corner for you.
And IL you never learn TO skate, IL
you wobble dis.ressfully and can't
stand up, unless you take the forbidden
waltz attitude, it is very natural to be
awkward when ones mind is on higher
subjects than skates.
Girls who ride have as good a time
as the girls who skate, The Riding and
Driving Club has regular germans on
horseback.
Members dress as knights in tourna-
ments and dash around, trying TO catch
rings on their spear points. The wo-
men have made tandem class, and
evolved needle race"
Six girls on horseback form in line at
one end of the room, and six men armed
with needle and thread gallop toward
them from the other. Each man hands
his weapon to the girl opposite, who
threads and returns il. The man who
gets around the ring first with his
needle and thread wins the game A
noble sport, isn't it? As to the dinners,
any number of swell ones will be given
before musicales and theater parties
But the newest caper is dinner at
Sherry's or Delmonico's and profess
sional dancers afterward.
Lispenard Stewart and Lanfear Nor
ris give dinner to 100 guests at Del's
March 9. It's to be wonderful event
and the girls who aren't invited are
clamoring to be let in to see the pro-
fessionals dance. After the final kicks
the dinner givers and few of their
guests board their special car to Mexico.
But why they and the Vanderbilts
and the Louis Lorillards should sail
away to sunny Europe when they can
hire Bessie Clayton and Violette and
the French Quadrille in Black Crook"
to expound feshly notifications of the
holy Lenten time, is beyond the under
standing Of CARRIE CARELEss.

WAS RAvING DRUNK.
Prisoner In the Jail at Remington. VT.
Creates a Disturbance.


BENNINGTON, VT, March civilian
Conroy, alias Henry Mcdowell, confined
In the Jail here for the murder of John
Crowley, caused conside rable excitement
In Jail yesterday. A prisoner confined
there Saturday night had a bottle of alco-
hol in his pocket, which the officers did
not discover.
Mcdowell went into the mans cell, and,
taking the bottle, drank ,the contents. In
y short time he was raving drunk. The
two prisoners went TO their cells and locked
themselves in. Mcdowell tipped over the
stove, which broke as il fell He then
broke up stand and chair that were in
the room, threw them and the bedding on
the live Goals, with the evident intention
OF setting the Jail on fire.
Armed with leg from the table he
stood in the middle of the room, pounding
against the doors and screaming at the top
of his voice Jailer Reed heard the noise
and rushed to investigate. As soon as he
appeared at the outside door Mcdowell,
still swinging the club, said that he had
killed two men before in self-defense, and
he would kill the first man TO enter. Jailer
Reed Immediately attached the hose and
put out the fire, at the same time sending
for other officers. He also gave the raving
man good wetting down, which had the
effect of quieting him. Every light of
glass in the large window in the rear was
broken out

Market street The collection is offered

The members Of post 5, Grand Army, OF

of disapproval and horror at the outrage
which has been perpetrated against the
remains of the men who were in one sense
their comrades. That the bodies of brave
men who sacrificed their lives fighting for
what they considered right should be thus
dug up and exposed for sale as the relics OF
the civil war has aroused widespread in
dignation, and threats have been made
which, if carried out, will prove i'll for the
owner and seller of the exhibit.

LAST NIGHT OF THE SENATE.
A Tame Session and Very Little Was
Accomplished.

Accomplished.
WASHINGTON. March 6.-The last night
OF the session OF the senate of the Sod con-
gress passed tamely, with endeavoring to
do as little as possible while awaiting the
conference reports ON the remaining ap
preparation bills
The McGarrahan claims bill came up
about midnight in a new shape from that
in which IL was vetoed by the president
There were only about dozen opponents
OF the bill, but they delayed its passage
for several hours by Offering numerous
amendments. Senator Teller stuck faith
fully to the bill, and at last succeeded in
securing it's passage by large majority in
substantially the form he desired.
Reports from the appropriations COM
mittee came in slowly. Senator Hill took
advantage of the fact 20 make last stand
for the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill, which he moved to take up. He had
q majority of the senate with him, but
could not get quorum TO vote, so that
Senator Hiscock proved successful in his
opposition to the bill.

LIVELY CONTESTS ExPEUTED.
The Senate of the Fifty-Third Congress
Assemblies in Special Session.


Assemblies I'm Special Session.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The senate of
ne SD congress assembled in special ses-
ion today at noon. Usually these special
SESSIONS are perfunctory and formal, the
business being confined to the reception of
nominations from the president, beginning
with the cabinet nominations and winding
mp when the places within the gift of the
thief executive, which are of the first grade
Of Importance, such as the heads of the
principal bureaus of the governmental SER
vice and the foreign ministers, are filled.
But because of the peculiar condition OF
lffairs so far as the composition of the
ienate itself Is concerned, with the doubt
ful standing Of the senator's who hold ap-
pointments from the governors of their
states instead of credentials of election by
the legislatures, and further because of the
announced intention of Senator Stewart of
Nevada 10 precipitate silver discussion by
the introduction of resolution of inquiry
directed to the new secretary of the treas
ury, il may be that this special session will
assume degree of Importance and excite
such popular interest as has never before
been witnessed in such cases.
1t Is probable that in the early part of
the week the senator's on both sides Of
the chamber will hold caucuses 60 de
termine upon lines of party policy, and to
decide what shall be done in respect to
the organization of the committees, and of
the numerous force Of senatorial en-
ployes
As there Is no lack Of candidates for the
highly desirable places within the dispo-
sition Of the majority of the senate, in
both the committee aSSionments and tho
appointments pertaining to the offices Of
the secretary of the senate and the SER
