A Fifty Years. Tryst.

DIR. Nevins tells very touching story in
his Disorder Of the Brain" A patient Of
his, a young lady engaged to be married,
was often visited by her intended husband
by the stagecoach, which passed within a
mile or two of her house. One day she went
to meet him and found instead an old
friend, who brought the news of his sudden
death. She uttered a frightful scream,
"He is deadr' and then all consciousness of
her misfortune ceased. Day by day for
so years did this poor creature in all sea-
sons journey to the spot where she expected
to see her lover alight from the coach, and
day by day she uttered in plaintive tone:
He is not come yet. will return tomor-
row." Could anything be sadder than

A Cherished Memory.

A gentlewoman arises in memory-smal,
slender, dainty from head to foot and
beautiful till past her SEVENTEEN year.
Her dress, never varied during prolonged
widowhood, was always black and OF SCI

known to mar its artistic unity, but al.

which the thick coil and the natural wave

character were, SO to speak, accentuatea
by her dress, which, as the years went on,

death, spoke of his memory Of her as very

Frederic Berard goes so far as to say that,
apart from the secretions, the cutaneous
odor draws flies to still living body.
However little noticeable it may be, it says
death is near; II sweat having cadaveric
odor precedes death, says B9rhaave DR..
Althaus tells us that Skoda hardly ever
was led into error by this indication, and
Crompton, of Birmingham also laid great
stress upon this as IN important clinical
symptom.
But the smell given out at the death
agony is totally different from the death
odor; it is universally admitted to be spe-
cific and it differs entirely from the odor
Of putridity. .-Doctor.

Speaker Crisp Has More Time than Usual
to Make Them Up.
Speaker Crisp is not so hard worked ever the
makeup of his committees as it was threatened
he would be at the opening of the session. With
the repeal men and the silver mon in agree
ment, and the prompt beginning of debate, it
will not be necessary for the more important
committees to be announced until the latter
part of this week. The necessity for immediate
action no longer exists.
The Coinage Committee gave Mr. Crisp great
concern. but the functions of this body are shorn
of nearly all their importance by the agreement
Mr.. Crisp's method of making up committees
is simple but efticieut. Upon one list is writ
ten every committee as it now stands together
with the names of those who were members of
the late Congress, but have retired to private
life. Upon another list are names of the new
Congressman with aDnotations of how they
may be placed. Elsewhere are collected all
the requests which he has received from men,
bers asking to be assigned to such and such
work. When these lists are completed the
Speaker can sit down, and with his son on one
hand and his clerk the other, dictate his
committees as fast as he can talk. There will
be no chance of error. and due deliberation will
be given to each assignment.
The Pennsylvania members who were in the
last Congress are pretty certain to remain on
the committees they then held. Mr.. Reilly
and Mr.. Beltzhoover, who were respectively
Chairmen of the Pacific Railroads and OF the
War Claims, will not likely change their places.

the Committee on Public Buildings and

signed there. Mr.. Sibley, the new member
from the Erie District, wants to be placed on

will likely retain his position on the Committee

Mir. Wilson, of West Virginia, it is believed

thought, will be on the Ways and Means Com.

chair on the Rivers and Harbors Committee.
The most reliable gossip in regard to the
Craftsmanship of the District Committee indi-
Gates that there is contest between Mr.. Heard,
of Missouri, and Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee,
and it is understood that Mr.. Cooper, of Indiana,
also desires chair in that committee.
1t is'nOt believed that the new Committee on
Rules will be opposed to the Administration in
any leading policy, and that it can be depended
upon to carry out the purpose announced by
the President in the message. Mr.. Catchings is
silver man. and has voted with the free-coin-
age people on all recent occasions, but he is sn
Administration man. and will vote for repeal,
possibly asking for a changed ratio as condi-
ton.
Mr.. Cultivate is strong man on the COM
mittee, taking the place of Mr. McMillin. He
is strong supporter of the Administration in
this emergency. The addition of Mr. Cultivate
gives the opponents of free silver one Demo-
cratic representative On the committee.
Mr. Reed is opposed to free coinage, and may
be depended upon to be direct in his action
when a money proposition is discussed by the
committee. Mr.. Burrows may help the free
silver men, but he is a doubtful entity. Mr..
Crisp is asilver man, but he is DESTROYS of party
unity, and he has declared his belief in the
necessity Of taking such action in this import
ant situation as will inspire confidence in the
party.
On a vote In committee that was test of
personal inclination. possibly conviction, free
coinage would get Crisp and Cstchings On a
vote to carry cut an effort for repeal 1t would
be safe to depend upon Catchings Outh waite

mise the committee ought to be nearly unani-

TUESDAY, AUG, s.

TUESDAY, AUG. ..
Prior 10 the opening of tO-day's session oil

who engaged in conversation with Senator'S
At noon, when Vice-President Stevenson
entered the Senate Chamber and raped for
order, he leaned upon his own desk, at which
stood the new Chaplain, the Rev. DIR. Milburn.
The journal of yesterdays proceedings was
read by Gen. Cox, the new Secretary of the
Senate.
At the conclusion of the reading Of the jour
nal the Clerk of the House appeared and an
nounced the fact that the House had organized
with Hon. Charles f. Crisp as Speaker, and was
ready to proceed TO business.
Mr.. White, of California, presented the ere
dentials of Hon. George C. Perkins, appointed
by the Governor of California to fill the vacancy
oecasiOned by the death of the late Senator Le-
land Stanford, and Mr.. Perkins came forward
and took the oath of Office.
Upon motion of Mr. German, at 1920 the
Senate took a recess to wait for the message
from the President.
Promptly at 1915 p. m. the Senate resumed
business.
Secretary Pruden entered the Chamber. and
delivered the Presidents message, which the
Vice President at once laid before the Senate,
and which was read by the Chief Clerk.
Upon conclusion of the reading several Sem
ators demanded recognition to present measures
relating to legislation.
The regular order being insisted upon the
Chair called for the presentation of petitions,
memorials, ETC.
The first bill presented was by Mr.. Hill, of
New York, TO repeal the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver law.
Mr.. Stewart introduced bill intended, as he
explained, to provide temporary relief from the
prevailing financial distress, without involving
discussion of the whole financial subject. 1t

cess Of the amount now provided for by law, to
supply deficiencies in the revenues of the Gov
eminent, to purchase United States bonds, ETC.
