No Necessity For Prolonged Discussion
ON the Wilson Bill.

nv ~NcCcbsAty hroiouScu DssSuSSa~ss
on the Wilson Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.--The indications
now are that the debate on the Wilson
bill in the house will be much shorter
than was originally anticipated. The
fact that the debate did not begin in the
house before the holidays and the opinion
held by Democratic leaders that there is
an urgent nece, lity for prompt action
has led them TO seriously discuss in the
last day or two the adysability Of limit
ing all debate to about two weeks.
Speaker Crisp, Representative Catchings
and Mr.. Montgomery yesterday talked
over the question of the extent and
character of the debate, and the consensus
Of opinion seemed to be that there was no
necessity for prolonged discussion. They
thought, considering the extensive dis
cussion of the tariff question for the last
six years, that four days ought to be suffi-
cient for general debate and about 10 days
for debate under the five-minute rule,
when the bill would be open for amend
ment.
1t is understood that beyond the ex-
haustive speech Of Chairman Wilson,
with which the the debate will open, not
more than two set speeches will be made
during the general debate by the Demo
cratic members of the committee. The
other members will content themselves
with defending the measure when it is
read by sections.

Ou In ANY Event.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec 30.-The big
fight, according TO the newly formulated
plans, will occur on the morning OF Jan.
25. Manager Bowden of the Duval
Athletic club is preparing for emergencies.
He is satisfied that the decision of the
court in which the legality OF the Corbett
and Mitchell fight will be tried will be in
their favor.
The contest will take place at II n. m.
This, il is thought, will be Of advantage
TO spectators, both in matter Of light and
in the means Of transportation to the
arena. The club also decided that il the
decision handed down by the criminal
court on Monday next declares the arrests
of Corbett and Mitchell TO have been IL
legal, TO go ahsnd and pull of the fight no
matter what the consequences are.
A dispatch from Tampa says that the
governor stated last evening that the
fight will not come of i'm Florida. He
says that he has his plans for preventing
the fight and that at the proper moment
he will act.
"The proper moment" Is supposed TO
be, i'm the governors opinion, when
Mitchell and Corbett are about ready TO
face one another.

A Tame Mountain Lion.

In Colorado ! visited a hunters store
and saw a mountain lion-the only one,
as its owner asserted, which had ever
been tanned. It was in a little back room
chained to an iron staple in the floor,
round which it was pacing, tutoring low
growls,
It appeared very much like a small
panther and seemed anything but tame,
snarling at us as if it longed to spring.
It was in awe of it's master, however, and
cowed down every time he cracked his
whip. He made It do several tricks with
a retriever dog, which did not seem to
like the task very well.
Come and kiss Miss Pussy" said the
a and the dog went UP to it, laid a
paw upon its neck and licked its face.
The master then put a piece of meat
on her nose and told the dog to fetch it
away.
He doesn't care for this part" was
his comment. "She has had him by the
throat once or twice. Just look at her
iron paws9 One blow would lay you
dead as mutton. What, you brute, you
would, would your

SILVER Cry people were' aston

for the Mexican rebels and the
headquarters for desperate plans
against the Mexican government.
A suspicious looking knot Of ma
tive citizens was seen gathered at
the coner of Billiard street and
Broadway on several occasions en-
gagged in deep debate, and a SINH
lar gang Of determined looking
whitemen was frequently observed
at Steve Uhle's corner. The bray

tion thus hazardously gained, and

that rs far as Silver City is con-
cerned it may rest easy, there is not
a Mexican rebel or conspirator Of
any kind here; and our men are
nearly all at work; and we are
thinking more about our i%ncreas-

a Railrnad Coachfai 81 Passengers stupe-
nbd 20 Facilitate Robbery.
When the first section OF the east
bound passenger train No. 8 on tho Chi
cago and Erie pulled into the station
here The oth0r day, the brakeman told
Policeman Halter, who was at the depot,
that all Of the passengers In n OF the
day coaches had been chloroformed by
some unknown person. The passengers
consisted mostly Of eastern people who
were on their way home from the
Worlds fair, and the train only stopped
at a few places along the line.
After leaving Huntington the passen-
gers in the day coach oil settled down in
their seats TO take a nap, and after the
train left Decatur tho brakeman was
passing through one Of the day coaches,
when he detected q peculiar odor and
noticed that the passengers were nearly
all sleeping heavily. Their sleep APP
peared so unnatural that the brakeman
grew suspicious, and going into one
Of the sleepers, where there happened
TO be a doctor with whom he was 40.
quainted, he asked the physician TO go
into the coach and see II he could detect
anything wrong. The doctor compiled
with his request, and going into the
coach Immediately detected the odor of
~chloroforn. The doors and Windows
were opened, and in a few minutes they
succeeded in arousing tho sleeping pas
sengers, who fortunately had not
breathed enough Of the drug to affect
them very much. They were surprised
to learn that they had been drugged and
wero very thankful for the brakeman's
timely discovery.
II is supposed that after leaving HUNT
tington some one entered the car, and
finding the passengers already hall
asleep had saturated the car with
enough Of the drug to make them sleeI
soundly. He then went into another car
TO wait for the ohloroform to take effect
. Undoubtedly he would have returned To
rob the sleeping passengers had not his
scheme been discovered. The car being
closed tightly and unusually warm, in
all probability the passengers In a short
time would have been at the mercy Of
the chloroformer.-Lima Dispatch in

Here is n story Of impudenco from real
life. 10 was told by my late friend, the
Row. Grovine Chester, who made a little
novel out Of Il, but ] do not think The
book caught on" OF had pny success,
The thing happened almost exactly ~
follows: There was a lady living in the
country; she was advanced IN years,
either unmarried OF q widow; she was
wealthy, and she lived alone.
One winter evening sho heard the
sound Of carriage wheels on the gravel
The door was opened, and then fol-
lowed the humping Of trunks in the hall.
Then q lady's name vas announced, and
her visitor entered. She came IN run
ming; she came in holding out both her
hands; she came In with a laugh Of well
come and Of joy. "You dearest Jenny"
she cried, kissing her with trimming
eyes. ut is 40 years since last we part
cd at deal old Miss IS school. How
are your How are your Oh, my dear,
/ am so glad to see you'll And I've come
to stayg"
She sat down, threw OF her bonnet
and began to rattle on about the school
When they separated for the night, the
hostess reflected hat she had not even
asked her visitors name and that sho re-
membered nothing at all about her. In
the morning she did ask her name, but
yet she remembered nothing at all about
her. That visitor came TO stay. In fact,
she mover went away again. The two
ladies lived together in the greatest ami
ty till the end. And to the very end the
hostess never knew VINO her friend was
and could not associate her name OF her
face with her old school-Walter Besant

Wetting the hair is very necessary
when swimming. Many women never
do so, a. the care Of their hair afterwRrd
Is too great a trouble. In a number Of
cases the failure TO do this has proven
fatal from the rush Of blood to the head
and exposure to the sun. There has been
such an instance In Hampstead harbor
this summer. A young oma bathed
In the heat Of the MONDAY sun. Imme-
diately after coming out Of the water she
complained Of a severe pain In her head.
That night the pains grew so muchworse
that the next day she was taken home.

Tho DebutaDto,s noueh Rood.

There is one cause for dissatisfaction
among theunmarried bellies of Newport.
1t is that the married bellies are altogeth-
or too much in evidence. The position
of a debutante is exceedingly trying. 1t
requires a great deal of fipesse to sue
cessfully evolve from q timid, blushing
society bud into the full blown, nodding
center piece that is an irresistible attrac-
ton. 1t would seem as though any kind
ly disposed mes would give them a
chance, and remembering their own hard
fought trials be only too glad to discreet
ly leave the field of conquest. On the
contrary, the unsophisticated toddlers of
society must constantly trim their rush
lights, and standing side by side with a
married belle hirt (some prefer to put
i) they must trust to luck that this
gentle light may prove a restful change
to the electric light dazzlers of the FIX
lures Of society.-Newport Letter.
