Il never heard distinguished people

clared young lady the other day, but

more interesting than had expected"
What did they talk aboutY asked
her companion curiously. .'and who were
they?"
The young lady named them-two
noted authors, . gentleman and Lady
And they talked" she added, with a
smile. ''about pokers."
"PokersY' calculated the friend incred-
ulously
"Pokers!' repeated the first speaker
firmly. THE authoress had just built a
new house. and her furnace did not
work well. She thought her companion
had one Of the same kind in the house
and asked about it.
He gave her information and advice
and then they branched off to pokers

Tho Tapping OF the DeathwsscA.

The 50 called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstltious. is small beetle which
has very powerful joint in its neck
and calls its mate by tapping with its
head on the wall or on any surface where
It may happen to be located. The noise
Is similar to that which may be produced
by tapping with the finger nails on a
table, and the insect can frequently be
made to answer such taps.-New York

Omaha, Dec. 24.-The statute OF the
State of Nebraska which conflicts with
an order or resolution OF the city council
is still the law OF the land. That WAS
the effect Of Judge SCOTS decision in a
gambling case Yesterday One of the big
gambling houses had been brought into
court by heavy loser who wished re-
venge This called the attention of the
court to the fact that gambling houses
were being run openly in the CITY, in de-
fiance of the slate law, on payment to The
city OF monthly fine OF $3.50 La dis
solving an injunction which had been
granted District Judge Scott severely ar
raignsd Mayor Bemis for permitting the
violation Of the law saying:
'.Why is it that authorities OF the city
will stretch forth their hands and the
power OF their official position and say t.
man: If you will pay $l5O per month
you can carry on your business, that is a
felony under the laws OF the state? These
officials violate their oaths OF office righ,
here under the shadow OF the court house.
This has got to stop or the criminal
courts have got to stop, and am in ia
vor OF stopping the gambling. Why is
this done. 1t is done because il will put
people IN Office, and the cheif executive
OF this city, who has violated his sworn
duty, should ne impeached and branded
as an impeached scoundrel in office /
say this Is strong language, and hope /
will be understood only wish l had
language strong enough to express my
feelings A man was before this court
the other day for stealing 81 and was
sent to prison. Another man pays $3.50
and is allowed to commit felony and
walk the street under the protecting
arm Of Mayor Bemis.'

Popular Representation Bloc ked.

Popular Representation Blocked.
The whole question of the revision OF
the method OF popular representation in
Belgium is blocked at present by the at
titudo OF the government in relation to
the reorganization Of the senate, which
may lead ultimately 10 conflict between
tho houses and may involve the throne.
The correspondent Of the London Times
ct Brussels says: Amore perplexing mat
teris the utter insignifcance Of the point
at issue. Apart from the 26 senators to
% elected by the provincial councils
without paying any taxes is the senate
to be composed only Of members paying
Q direct tax Of 1900 francs, with the
proportion Of one eligible in 5000 inhab-
itants. or may it not be admitted that
the Inhabitants who pay tho highest
taxes In each province under |, 500 francs
should be equally eligible for the senate
in the proportion of one to every 5000
inhabitants? Upon this the whole ques-
ton turns. The latter proposal, while
still constituting q senate Of which three
fourths are to represent the great landed
proprietors, would raise the number OF
those eligible from 1900 to a,0oO. And
It il for this petty difference that the re-
vision Of the constitution is not only
postponed in the house Of representa-
tives, but exposed to the danger Of ulti-
mato failure.

CHICAGO, No.. Washington Hess

and William s. Mize was appointed
collector of internal revenue, district Of
Chicago.
Washington Hesing. who was named
by the president for the Office of post
master of Chicago, was frequently men,
toned for the Office of collector of GUS
toms, but in view of the fact it is said
that change is not contemplated in
that office for some time, the president
concluded to give him the postoffice.
Hon. Frank Lawler of Chicago was an
early candidate for the Chicago post
mastership, basing his right to the place
on one of the longest and most numer-
ously signed petitions ever presented to
the president of the United States by an
applicant for public Office. but there
was strong desire on the part of the
president to recognize Mr. Hessing,
whose influence is conceded to have been
so potent in giving Illinois to the Demo.
