CARLISLE REMAINS SILENT.
He Refuses to Say Whether or Not He Has
Resigned From tho Senate.

He Refuses to Say Whether or Not He II as
Resigned From tho Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-When ap.
preached upon the subject of his resig.
nation from the Senate, Mr.. Carlisle
posi- lively refused to talk and will
neither deny nor confirm the many
rumors concerning him, the latest of
which is that he will send his resigna.
ton to the governor of Kentucky to-
night to take effect February next. A
friend who is as close to Carlisle as any
man in this city is authority for the
statement that the public will only
know Of the resignation of tho Senator
when it is given out by the governor of
Kentucky, to whom it would properly be
addressed.
Carlisle does not think it would be
proper for him to discuss the matter in
the public prints, and for this reason,
even when he shall have determined
upon his course, will say nothing about
it. 1t is known positively that Carlisle
has not made up his mind whether he
will resign AZ all or not. He has not
vet said that he would accept tho Treas
ury portfolio and his conclusion in tina
direction must BIO precedent to his
resignation from the Senate. Whom he
shall have fixed upon his future, Car
Isle will only transmit his determine
tion to the authority in kentucky, who
will have the appointment of his sue
cessor. Meanwhile he maintains O
silence that cannot be moved either by
newspaper rumors or earnest entreaty.

nance was adopted, the vote standing,
II in favor of it, G opposed to it and 1
not voting.
Stiffle & Freeman, of Philadelphia,
to whom the contract was awarded for
furnishing the vault door, failed to sign
the contract or d, posit the required
check. The contract was awarded to
the next lowest bidder, Messrs. Everett,
Waddy 81 Co, OF Richmond, and the
city solicitor was required to prepare
the contract and bond.
Mr.. Eckloff offered resolution.
which WAS adopted, that Council
petition the United States Senators
from Virginia to use their influence to
have one term OF the United States
circuit court held in this city.
petition was read from the execu.
tive board of the Home for the Sick.
asking that sidewalk be placed on
the east side of Wilson street from Bull
lett to Tazewell avenue.
Mr.. Eckloff being in the chair Mr..
Buckner made motion, which pre-
vailed, that the board of public works
be instructed to have tho work done at
once.
On motion OF Mr. Eckloff the salary of
w. 0 Hardaway, commonwealth attor
ney, was increased from $500 to 5000 per
annum.
The bond OF William Mccarthy, who
was awarded the contract for making
brick sidewalks, was accepted.
The ordinance committee, of which
Mr.. Crabill is chairman, presented an
ordinance. in which certain sections of
the rules and regulations of the market
house are amended and in which it
allowed meats and fresh 6sh to be sold
only at the market house. The opin-
ions Of several members differed widely
and a motion was made to refer it back
to the ordinance committee. The mo
ton was lost, the vote standing to 8.
Motions were then made to refer IL to
tho public property committee and to
lay it on the table, both OF which were
lost.
Mr.. Crabill stated that he objected to
the passage of the ordinance on the
grounds that at a former meeting of
council an ordinance was passed that
each member of council should be fur.
nished with copy of all ordinances,
and that he had not been furnished with
one pertaining TO tho market house.
Mr.. Eackenthal made motion to tho
effect that the market house ordinance
be made tho special order for raoeting
to be held on next Wednesday night.
The motion prevailed.
The ordinance committee had pre-
pared about thirty rules and regulations
by which City Council shall be gov.
erned in the future. They were all
adopted.
Council adjourned to meet again
Wednesday night.

Gloves, the crowning finish Of well
dressed woman's costume in public, have
been of late years greatly misused in
American society. One sees them worn
at tea tables by the woman elected to
represent the hostess in pouring tea, and
even at dinner tables, where the wear
ers have been known to sit through
many courses with their right hands
barred, the hand of the right glove
tucked under the wrist, and the entire
left glove kept on. From time immemo-
rial the habitual dinner goers of good
society have removed both gloves imme-
diately after taking their places at the
table, and have resumed them upon re-
turning to the drawing room, or after
using the finger bowls, and before aris-
ing from the feast.
Any departure from accepted custom
that has only eccentricity or desire for
innovation to recommend it should be
avoided; hence there seems no cause for
taking up the curious fashion just men
toned, probably set in needless mo-
ment by some leader of vogue or by an
unfortunate woman of rank whose hand
was made unpresentable by disfguring
injury.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Jenny Lind's Frankness.

Jenny Lind's judgment of books,
though undirected by anything like lit.

the last book she read before her death
was Mr.. Norton's volume of the CORE.

son. No doubt her admiration for the
great denouncer of shams was largely
due to the intense sincerity of her own
character, which made it impossible fol
her to tolerate even those slight devia.

seldom taken seriously, but are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society,

Wonderful Insect Illuminations,

The secretary Of the Smithsonian in
stitution, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban fireflies with
view to discovering the manner in
which the illumination they emit is
generated. He says that the light they
give is the cheapest" in the world
produced, that is to say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure of
energy-and he believes that a success
full imitation of it would pr5vcs. most
profitable substitute for gas or electrici-
ty. The insects are beetles two inches
long and belong to the family of ''snap-
ping bugs" SO called because when one
of them is laid on its back it snaps itself
into the air with clicking sound The
secret of the light this firefy gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain to explain its origin. On
each side Of the animals thorax is q
luminous membraneous spot, and these
fash at intervals, SO that the Cubans put
dozen of the insects in cage together
and obtain a continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This light is
accompanied by no perceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with no expendi-
ture Of energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arti-
fetal lights can be imagined when it is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more than 80
per cent.-American Analyst.

On Collecting Autographs.

The most elementary form Of the
strangers letter is of course the applica-
tion for an autograph. This application
Is now reduced to such q system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request blank card on which
the name is to be written, with an en-
yelope stamped and addressed for its re-
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechanical, though the line of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may say
where two cards are sent, the second
one being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, l suspect,
writes on both cards, since he does not
aim to help out mere business trans.
action. Where any applicant goes far
ther and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomes more serious.
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers Of time.-T. w.

A Chronic Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is a certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her "case''
and writing about it. Her letters are
long, full of unpleasant details and so
burdened with inquiries and requests
that they have to be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are ad-
dressed to men and women to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of typewriter would relieve unfa.
vorable symptoms, and asks a hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on an author to tell her what and
how to write. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for worthless subscrip-
tion book that she may gain the money
to do 80.
But always her "case'' is directly or
indirectly the theme of the many closely
written pages. All things past, present
and to come are related to her various
Affections. In the words Of a Persian
proverb, "The sun shines that the world
may see her wounds. YOUTHS Com

A BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
Happy School Children in an Indiana,
lis Schoolroom.

Happy School Children In an Indianapo-
lis Schoolroom.
In indianapolis entered one of the
rooms containing the youngest children
at the time of the opening exercises.
Inc scene encountered was glimpse
of fairyland. | was in room full of
bright and happy children, whose eyes
were directed toward the teacher, not
because they were forbidden to look in
any other direction, but because TO
them the most attractive object in the
room was their teacher. She UNDER
stood them, sympathized and loved
than, and did all in her power to in
terest them and make them happy.
The room itself was charming. The
window sills were filed with living
plants, and living plants were scattered
here and there throughout the room.
The teachers desk was literally strewn
with flowers, and upon each of the chill.
dren's desks flowers had .lseeS placed to
welcome the little ones to school.
The book used during the reading les
son was the book of nature-the plant
they had just been studying. The scene
presented by the happy little children,
each with flower in his hand, surround
ing the teacher, who was smiling upon
them, was truly beautiful
For reading matter the children were
called upon for sentences expressing
thoughts concerning their flowers The
sentences were written upon the board
by the teacher, and when number of
them had been written the pupils began
to read them. The children were inter-
ested because they all took an active
part in the lesson from the beginning to
the end. They were all observing, all
thinking.
Some of the little ones even committed
the crime of laying their hands upon the
teacher, and she so far forgot herself as
to fondle them in return. Yet the dis
cipline was perfect. What is perfect
discipline in the classroom but perfect
attention. There was no noise, there
were everywhere signs of life, and such
signs of life as become gathering of
young children.-Dr. J. M. Rice in Fo.
rum.
