Tho rosy Not without His Uses.

Isn't it about time that some one at
tempted defense Of the '<old fogy2' In
these ds5s there IS no one more decried.
He Is popularity supposed to block the
wheels of enterprise, to stand In the way
of progress, and nearly every association
has two or three of these people whom
the members would gladly throw over
board if they could. The odd thing about
all this is the fact that the '4old fogy''
has usually been one of the creators of
the very body which seeks to be rid of
him. In the beginning he was indefati-
gable; he labored long and earnestly to
procure funds, and was at considerable
personal sacrifice to put this or that In
stitution on it's feet.
Now that things are finally settled
and paid for and everything is in good
running order he is disposed to let well
enough alone for little time. But this
will not do at all for the young blood
which is constantly pouring in. The
new element is full Of progressive ideas
and suggestions Of innovations, and
when it meets resistance on the part OF
the i'old fogy" there is clashing OF
opinions. Buffalo Courier.

how to light a solia body.

Cadogan Morgan was the first cleo
trician to experiment with electric light
in solid bodies. This was In 1885. He
first inserted two wires into stick of
wood and caused the spark to pass be-
tween them. This had the effect Of IL
Illuminating the stick q beautiful. blood

apple may be lighted In the same man
ner. Some experimenters prefer the
lemon for this purpose, it being very sus-
ceptible to the electric discharge, fash.

brilliant golden light. The wires used
for this purpose should be brought with
IN about half an inch of each other IN
side the lemon.-St. Louis Republic.

participle passive Of "please" used as an
adjective. Very" so far as I am
aware, is never used with any other part
of n verb. and then only when that part

following quotation from Pope's "Dun-

The Pottery Tree OF BRAZIL

The pottery tree, found in Brazil, is
curious and useful. One would scarcely
expect to find pots and jars and pitchers
growing in if not ON tree, but the ma
terial for them certainly grows In this
tree. It is found in the form Of silica,
chiefly in the bark, although the very
hard wood of the tree also yields it. To
make this curious pottery the bark is
burned, and what remains is ground to
powder and mixed with clay. - Har-

grew deaser sta, h Was tust before
sunset, and the mighty heart Of Chi
cago's business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours Of another day of tod, and the
hurrying homeward Of restless, eager
thousands. The swiftly moving streams
of humanity that are wont to meet in
eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each in its destined course, had sudden
ly become blocked and chaos reigned.
Pushed toward the common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car.
fiages and in street cars, and unable to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd in the streets and on the side

and flow Of mighty sea.

dense throng climbed lamppost, and
from his elevated position surveyed the
scene.

waving his club. "Give him air!"

gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up

fight of stairs, from which q few mo-

mouth, and In the same stern, uncom-

Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through

was seen bearing down toward the CEN

off, his hair flying in the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, but with set teeth
and dilated nostrils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who opposed his progress.
Reaching the center of the throng he
seized two individuals by their arms, and

O passage for them to the outside, and,
as If by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved; the converging streams of hui

and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again.
The reporter had conjectured rightly.
The blockade was caused by two women
who had met in the exact center of the

One at That.
SpeciaI to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2j.-The Democratic
members of the House sub Committee on
Appropriations have adopted amendments
changing the pension law OF 1899 Follow
ing are the principal changes: That no
widow shall receive a pension under the act
of 1890 unless married to a soldier prior TO
1870: that no person shall receive pension
under the act of 1890 unless disab in the
service from manual labor and in receipt OF
an income of less than $500 year, and that
no non resident of the United States shall
receive pension unless actually disabled
in service.
Another amendment provides for the ap-
pointment of commission TO consider nee
essary mod fcatiOns in the pension laws
and report at the next Congress.
The bill rs framed by the majority Of the
subcommittee also does away with pension
agencies throughout the country and pro-
vides for the payment OF pensions by
checks directly from the Treasury Depart
ment, abolishes examinations of applicants
by surgeons, and provides for the appoint
ment Of 150 special examiners TO hereafter
make the examinations.
The amendments were adopted by vote
of to 3 the Democratic members, Mulch
ler, O'Neil and Livingston vo ting aye, and
Grout and Bingham no. The fight against
the amendments will be carried by the Re-
publican members into the full Committee
on Appropriations. which is yet to act upon
the bill. 1t is said to be likely that there
are some Democratic members Of the full
committee who will vote against their as
sociates on the subcommittee. Ii the
amendments get out Of the committee a
lively fight in the House is certain.
ONeal of Massachusetts, speaking for the
majority of the members and of the reasons
for making the proposed changes, said:
There was no disposition on the part OF
the majority OF this House to take pension
away from any man who deserves it, or
from any man who became disabled while
in the Union army. The country wants the
pension list reduced, but ii does N OF want
single worthy pensloner stricken from the
rolls. 1t seems TO the committee that GER
tain persons are entitled to pensions, but 1T
should stop there"
Grout of Vermont, one of the two Repub-
lican members of the subcommittee, said:
"rhe Republican minority is against the
amendments. and will oppose them in full
committee and in the House."

One Arrested.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

Los ANGELES. Jan. 25.-At o'clock this
afternoon a sensation occurred directly in
front of the postOffice, which involves
well-knOwn lady of this city. Parties
about the building noticed Mrs. L. A. Raw
son, the former wife of A. If. Rawson,
riding by several times in her private car
riage, but paid no special attention at the
time. She was riding by for about the sixth
time, when she suddenly alighted from her
carriage and rushing up to a lady who was
about to enter the postoffice proceeded TO
beat her about the head with parasOl. She
got in several blows before bystanders
could interfere. AT last they were separated
and Mrs. RawsOn entered her carriage and
was driven away. The other lady was es-
eorIed down the main street by some gentle
men before her identity could be learned.
An investigation revealed the following:
a. NJ. Rawson was at one time one OF the
leading business men of this city, but drink
got the best of him and he was finally sent
to the Insane asylum at Stockton. Before
Rawson had gone through all his property
he was divorced from his wife. but married
again In few days after the decree was
granted. Later on he was divorced from
his second wife.
After being discharged from the asylum
he wrote book entitled "The Junior PART
ner." which received good many hattering
press notices. RawSon's next move was to
remarry wife number two. He soon left
the Coast and went TO his mothers home in
Minnesota. where he remained from March.
1891. TO July of the same year. Things not
being very pleasant there, he went to Chi
cago and returned to the coast about two
weeks ago.
Mrs. RawSon swore out warrant for the
arrest Of Mrs. RawSon number two late this
afternoon. Mrs. Rawson number TWO was
taken to the police station and gave a bond
for her appearance at the police court to-
morrow at 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Rawson lives with her husband in
San Francisco. Rawson had some business
in this city and was afraid to attend to il
aud sent Mrs. Rawson number two. She
was at the post0ffice and was returning to
the Nadeau Hotel wheu assaulted.
Mrs. Rawson attracted some nOtoriety
some time ago by mar rying her c0achman.
The affair created great social stir here.

A QUESTION OF POLITICS.
Senator Allen Says the Railroad Is Not
the Factor of the Situation.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. Ex-senator John
B. Allen is out to-day in an open letter in
reply TO Judge Turner's reference to the
action of corporations in the Senatorial
contest. Senator Allen said:
whether the agents Of the railroad COM
pany are friendly or hostile to a candidate
for the Senate IS not the question. as Judge
Turner seeks by his ingenious statement to
lead ihe people to believe. But it is vital
for Republicans to learn whether ma j0rity
Of the Republican party shall be permitted
to control in selecting United States SEN
stOr. or whether it shall surrender that
trust to n small minority upon specous
plea Thrty-eight constitutes a majority
of the Republican members Of our Legisla-
ture. In the caucus forty-fye indorsei me
as the party'S candidate. In the joint
session Of the two houses fifty-One Republi-
cans rs against twenty-four ReDubli-
cans have each day for week and
through a score of ballots named me for
Senator. Tho Republicans stand respon-
sible to this State and country for the seiec-
tlon OF United States Senator. If respon-
sible there must be some method by which
that responsibility is to be met. There can
be no other than by majority action within

fully heard and il able to convince or per-
suade a sufficient number of the correctness
Of Its views it becomes a majority aud
should control, but if unable TO do this it
should scquiesce with the greater number
and make party rule practicable.
Two ballots were taken for Senator tG-
day. There was no change from Yesterday.
If the pledges of the memb bers of the
Legislature are TO be relied upon. a dead
lock is inevitable aud no Senator can be
elected.
The Allen forces are In possession of the
city tonight. shouting aud parading. Late
tonight forty-one Of his supporters held a
caucus and pledged themselves to stand firm
till the end of the session. This leaves len
of his supporters unpledged.

themselves to vote for Griggs and keep
their hands eff. Turner now has twenty
five who have declared they will support
him to the end.
