HAToHs FIGHT ON OPTIONS.
An Attempt to Call Up the Bill likely

An Attempt to Call Up the Bill Likely
to Be Made To-day.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The fight over
the anti-option bill is likely to como up in
the House Tomorrow. Representative
Hatch is tired of waiting for the committee
on rules, which seems disposed to do nothing
for him and will avail himself OF the privi~
legged character Of the bill to call it up and
move concurrence by 1.-The House In the
Senate amendments. His opponents will be
on the alert and will probably interpose
every flibustering motion which suggests
itself 70 such trained lawyers and parlia-
nentarians as Representative Boatner OF
Louisiana, John DEWITT Warner of
New York and Representative Kill
gore Of Texas. There ts no
limit TO the number OF dilatory motions
which may be made unless some trap is
sprung Of which the opponents Of the bill
are not aware. Mr.. Hatch and the mem
bers Of his committee talk very confidently
Of keeping up the fight until the Senate
amendments are concurred in, even IL they
have to hold the House Ia session on the
subject for several days. The pension ap-
preparation bill was disposed OF to-day, and
this leaves the ground clear, IN Mr.. Hatch's
opinion, for him TO call up the anti-option
bill. The appropriations committee will
not patiently submit to his consuming time,
however, for the postofiice appropriation
bill. The Indian bill and several conference
reports are still awaiting action by the
House, and very few OF the appropriation
bills have passed the Senate.

Lawyer Heverin Dead.

James H. Heverin, the prominent
criminal lawyer, died Thursday at his
home in Delaney place, PhiladeIphia
Mr. Heverin had been very i'll for some
time past.
James Heverin, in his time one Of
the most successful practitioners at the
criminal bar Of Philadelphia COUNTY

he was thoroughly educated i'm the
Delaware schools.

lie practiced at Dover AMI made
himself felt, but the place was loo
small and he went to PHILADELPHIA.
In 1869 and 1870 he held the office of
assistant district attorney under Dis.
trlct Attorney Furman Sheppard, but
his private practice demanded his time
and he resigned his public position.
In the criminal courts for a long
period of years, he was identified with
almost every case of public importance
"A few Of which may be worthy of
notice.
He defended Brown, who cut his
wiie's throat in FairmOunt Park. and
IN spite of the damning and conclusive
evidence, saved the prisoners neck.

catholic priest who left his denomina-
ton and was charged with embezzljng
church tunds--and GerderrnaD was
acquitted. In all the libel suits against
colonel Mcclure, editor of the Phila.

was counsel for the Liquor League

New Castle County Roads.

Mr.. CoOch's bill to solve the problem
of securing better roads by utilizing
the labor of prisoners in the county
Jail passed the House of Representa-
tives, unanimously Wednesday and
there is no reason to expect any oppo-
sition in the Senate. The general
opinion is that it suggests very salts
factory system of convict labor and
one that promises the most practical
results. The bill provides for the
erection of wOrkhouse convenient to
a stone quarry and to means of trans
portation. Prisoners are to be con-
fined in the workhouse and put to
work quarrying stone and preparing it
for road purposes. With the stone
thus prepared the county roads are to
be placed in good condition and kept
in proper repair. The system of con-
vict labor contemplated by the bill is
in line with the Tramp Labor Law of
the last session, which resulted in the
stone pile adjacent to the Jail at New
Castle, but promises vastly better
results than were achieved by that
useful but necessarily crude institu-
tion.

Baron Hirseh's Benefactions.

If it be true, as reported, that Gen.
BeauTegard left a million dollars apiece
to his two children, the conclusion is
reasonable that when he twirled
the wheel of fortune for the Louisiana
Lottery Company, he did not do it
solely for love of watching the turns of
luck. There were sure winnings in
the lottery for him, and he did not
disdain to carry them home and salt
them down.
Therein he differed from Baron
de Hirsch, who, as many people know
finds one use of his vast income in
demonstrating that that notable lot
terry, the turf; is worth cultivating for
itself and aside from all the chances
of possible gain.
The Baron has given to hospitals.
homes and benevolent associations.
principally in London, without regard
to their creed or nationality, all the
money won by him upon the turf dur.
ing 1891 and 1892. In 1891 the win
nings amounted to $1,000 and last
year to s35, 900. The amounts received
from him by various institutions. vary
from $4,000 to f2OO Several of them
received $4,000, the largest beneficiary
of all being the London Hospital. !
There are some forty institutions on
his race-money list, among them being
Mr.. Gladstone's Convalescent Home. |
the Bethany COnvalescent Home, st. |
Mary's Hospital, and the Orphans of
Mercy.
OF course such racing establishments
as the owner of La Fleche keeps up in
England and the continent, involve
great expenditure. Experts determine
that the Baron's English stables alone
cost him s25,00O a year, so it seems
that he has not deducted his racing
expenses from his winnings, but has
given away all the money his horses
have secured. 1t has not been uncom-
mon in England for the winners of
great sporting events to give money
literally for the purchase of plate.
The largest gift of that sort was piece

Multiplication of Clubs.

member of "a club where "the tie that
binds, is the common desire to get a
good dinner, carefully served amid
artistic surroundings. Up town in the
morning, afternoon and evening he will
be seen at social club, a bicycle club.
an athletic club, an art club. a dra.

club, or even, perhaps, at church

Sometimes, perhaps, the clubs inter-

proportion to the increase of interests

woman-kind. The modern woman is
not, perhaps, a hOmekeeper to the ex-

too, has multiplied diversions and oc-
cupations that engross her attention.
Societies of various sorts take her
from the domestic circle. She even
has her club sometimes and cherishes
ideals and aspirations that man

the spirit of the age to develop individ.

among the latter, in some cases, is the
attractiveness of the home.
But the growth of the club life has a
wider basis than the womau's.rights
1t is, to some extent. a
natural consequence of the increased
wealth aud capacity for
organization of the modern world.
