Continued Roll Calls.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-For two
hours in the house the skirmish fight
over the federal election bill continued,
Tucker of Virginia marshaling the
Democratic majority, and Burrows of
Michigan taking charge of the RepubIi-
can forces. Had it not been for contin-
uous roll calls the house would have
had very lively session. At 2 o'clock
the house paid a tribute of respect to
the late J. Logan Chapman of Michi-
gan and at $3.50 adjourned.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 15.-The debate
in the senate on the repeal bill was al
together on the affirmative side of the
question. Two speeches were made in
favor of the bill-the first by Demo-
cratic senator, Mr. Lindsay of Ken
tucky, and the second by Republican,
Mr.. Higgins of Delaware. Both were
uncompromisingly and Internationally

The Woman and the Rose.

A traveller stopped at a little cabin in
the Georgia woods. a e wore a white
rose on his coat-one that little girl
had plucked and pinned there as he was
leaving home.
A woman entered the cabin. She stood
and gazed at the rose g. moment Then,
darting forward, she tore it from the
strangers coat and stamped it on the
rude floor
why did you do that? asked the
stranger ]eaping to his feet.

MIR. HILL ACQUIESCED
The Elections Bill Taken from
the Judiciary Committee,
And Referred to the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections-Pro-
ceedings of the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin the Senate
to-day the expected political debate on the
federal elections law repeal was averted by
Mr.. Hill acquiescing to the suggestion Of
Mr.. Hoar that the bill should be referred
tions. While not making the charges in
so many words, some of the Republican
Senators intimated strongly that the report
made by the judiciary committee on the
bill was secured by methods not entirely
to their liking. Senator Hoar, who is a
member of both the committees on the judi
ciary and privileges and elections, and who,
under the Republican regime, was chairman
of the elections committee, and then of the
judiciary contends that the bill should
have been referred originally to the first
named committee, and failing primarily to
secure that reference, should have it now,
despite the report of the judiciary commit
tee. He and Senator Platt. who is also
a member of the judiciary committee COM
planned that the bill had never had due
consideration, and that the committee meet
ing which authorized favorable report
upon the bill was attended by only one Of
tee, Senators Hoar, Wilson, Platt and
Mitchell, of Oregon being absent They
claim that if these members had been pres
ent when the bill was taken up in commit
tee the subject would have had fuller con-
sideration, and that there would have been
at least minority protest against 1T, and
an effort at that time to have the bill re-
ferred to the committee on elections. In
Difference to Mr.. Hoar's wishes Mr.. Hill
allowed the bill to be referred as the MaSSa-
chusetts Senator desired Nothing else Of
cept the Hawaiian debate, which is re-
ported elsewhere.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the first cast of the die, as II We're
II is not always easy to tell in just what
particular branch of psycho-dynamics lies
the secret of an actors popularity. First
and last, however, sift the matter to the
dregs, and it will invariably appear that
newspapers and these alone are responsible
for the success of a stage favorite. This
was never more truly demonstrated than in
the case of Mary Anderson, and an almost
identical case IS that OF Julia Marlowe.
From the instant this young candidate for
dramatic honors appeared before the public
she has been lauded and feted and bowed
down to by dramatic writers until the pub
lie that reads the complimentary notices
decided that it would be the worst OF bad
form to see anything but the highest of
talent in her work. This occurred several
years ago of course, and since then the
fayorite has banked well on the reputation
which at that time all seemed TO agree
her work promised for her. Society has
made II a rule to waive all dates when
Marlowe was coming TO town and go to see
her act. The reason of this was the fact that
one Of her then limited experience promised
90 much Promised is used advisedly
She still promises In two years Miss Mar
lowe has remained the same. She has
neither retreated nor advanced. 1t must be
said that the most careful and conscien-
tious analysis of her work brings forward
no marked Improvement. 1t is barely pos
sble that Miss Marlowe recognizes this fact
herself, and hence has surrounded herself
with a. company that has few, if any, dull
people and thus endeavors to give a high
toned entertainment, one that discounts
cynical criticism and sends her audience
away without regrets. The verdict of COM
petent dramatic writer's for two, yes, for
four years, has been that Miss Marlowe
promised much. Gushing and susceptible
people have used up their limited vocabu-
laries as we'll as drawn largely on
the dictionary OF dramatic phrases,
in attempting To plaster her over
with stilted compliments, but Miss
Marlowe has remained the same She
is pleasing. naive and even. graceful, but
never forceful. There is lacking what may
be styled a dramatic genre that every actor
must necessarily establish before he can be
rightfully considered to stand out as a genius
in his profession. Her voice is, perhaps.
her greatest and first apparent drawback.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Mrs. Sarah BOlinger, an Aged Woman,
Knocked Down and Robbed.

Mrs. Sarah Bolingeri residing at No. 2S3
College avenue was the victim of brutal
assault and robbery last night, between s
and o'clock. Mrs. Bolinger is employed as
a seamstress at the home of Dr. E. T.
Hodges, No. 152 North Meridian street
Last night she worked unusually late, and
set out for home alone. AS she was pass
ing along Fort Wayne avenue between
Pennsylvania and Delaware streets, a man
came hastily up from the rear, and she
thought, attempted to pass around her. In
stead, he grabbed at the reticule she car
ried and endeavored to jerk it from her
hand. Mrs. Bolinger, although sixty years
old, retains q wonderful degree of strength,
and with determination to save her purse,
containing about 49, began a desperate re-
sistance. She held tenaciously to the bag.
while the thief dragged her into alley a
few feet away. Here she fell to the ground,
but continued to cling to her property, and
at the same time screamed for help Her
cries were unheard, and finally, out Of sheer
weakness, she loosed her hold and the as
sailant ran off with the reticule containing
purse and money. Mrs. Bolinger made her
way to a store near by and reported the
robbery. The police were notified, and at
once began search for the mscreant. Mrs.
Bolinger was unable to ascertain his color,
but is inclined to believe that he was a
negro. She noticed that he wore a brown
suit.

Walter Wrenn Talks tO Young Mem
About Education.

The study Of natural science should come
before al others. The works OF God are
better worth studying than the thoughts OF
men, First comes geography, now strange
ly neglected-taught at first by the globe
and maps only-no books Botany should
be taught every year during the summer
months; all children love flowers, and pic
lures and what they call pretty things
would follow in time. After these follow
other branches of natural science We
aI1oo are organic aI,,o,, beings @ OF flesh and

ed by solid. liquid and gaseous bodies,
girt about with trees, and shrubs, and
and fishes and insects. On our knowledge
OF these, their laws and properties, depend
our health, our happiness, our very exist
ence. Yet in most public schools natural

sion in this world was TO learn them.

Walter Besant, one Of the best French
scholars of the day, says In the early pages
of his novel "An in Garden Fair" The
first thing you want with a language is the
vocabulary; men who learn many languages
begin after the manner of Adam-with the
names. not after the manner or the school,
master-with the syntaX. Those who do not
want to learn language begin with gram

When locomotives were first built and
began tc trundle their small loads up and
down the newly and rudely constructed
railways of England the country roads
were for the most part crossed at grade.
and the engine driver had no way OF Civ
ing warning of his approach except by
blowing tin horn. This horn, as may be
imagined, was far from being a sufficient
Of Thornton was crossing the railway
great load of eggs and butter. Just as be
preached. The engine man blew his tin
horn Justify. but the farmer did not hear
it. Eighty dozen of eggs and fifty pounds
of butter We're smashed into an indistin-
guishable, unpleasant mass and mingled
with the kindling wood TO which the wagon
was reduced. The railway company had
to pay the farmer the value of his fifty
pounds of butter. his SEQ eggs, his horse
and his wagon.
1t was regarded as a very serious mat
ter; and straightway director of the com-
pany, Ashlen Bagster by name, went TO
Alton Grange, where George Stephenson
lived. to see If he could not invent some
thing that would give a warning more
likely to be heard. Stephenson went 10
work and the next day had a contrivanca
which. when attached to the engine boiler
and the steam turned on, gave out a
shrill discordant sound. The railway d.
rectors, greatly delighted, ordered similar
contrivances attached TO all the locomo-
tives. and from that day TO this the voice
of the locomotive whistle has never been
silent
