SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
How Its Mcn,bers stand on the Silver
Question.

NOW lts MeutDers stand on the silver
Question.
WASHINGTON, Aug l5.-The committee on
finance of the senate held n meeting today
at which for an hour and n half the silver
question was discussed. The only result of
the meeting was that authorizing Mr. Voor-
hees to favorably report the bill increasing
the circulating notes of national banks to the
par value of the bonds deposited.
In the committee room there was some
very persistent opposition to the reporting
of this measure by Vance and Jones of Ar
Kansas The discussion only tended to show
that tho finance committee was as far re-
moved as ever from common ground on the
question of general legislation on the finan-
cial situation and the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman law in particular.
1t was agreed that the committee should be-
ginning with Saturday next, hold daily
sessions
The members of the committee are as
firm and unyielding as the first day they
met. The antisilver men on the committee
are Senators Sherman, Mcpherson, Morrill,,
Allison and Aldrich. The silver men are
Senators Harris, Vance, Vest, Jones of
Arkansas, and Jones of Nevada, with Mr.
Voorhees,, the chairman, holding the balance
of power. How he will vote may decide the
action of the committee. He has said that
he Is in favor of the repeal of the Sherman
law, either with conditions or without;
that he will vote for it without conditions
but by so doing does not give up his allie
glance to silver as a money metal. He has
said that the vote on the repeal Will not in
dicate the standing of the senate on the
question of bimetallism az all and for that
reason is willing to go on record in that way
On the other hand should the ultra silver
men agree upon some measure not too radi-
cal in its character, it is said that possibly
Mr.. Voorhees, might go with them. So far
| a.
the extremes of the proposition. The silver
men insist they will submit to nothing but
free coinage at the present ratio. and the
other SIDE with equal emphasis, assert that
the only thing they will endorse will be the
unconditional repeal of the purchasing
clause.

Inc Numuer Ihree" IN the B1Dl0s
When the world was created we find
it and its surroundings composed of three
elements-air, water and land the
whole lighted by the sun, moon and
stars. Adam had three sons mentioned
by name, and SO did Noah the patriarch.
Daniel was thrown into a den with three
lions for the crime of praying three
times. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego were rescued from the fiery fur
pace. Job had three special friends.
There were three patriarchs-Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Samuel was called
three times; Elijah Frustrated himself
three times on the dead body of the child;
Samson deceived Delilah three times be-
fore she discovered the secret of his
great power, and the Ten Command
ments were delivered on the third day
Jonah was three days and nights in
the whales belly. Simon, lowest thou
mes" was repeated three times. Paul
makes mention of the Three Graces-
Faith, Hope and Charity. The famous
allegorical dreams of the baker and but

Native wit in n street eamin.

Wit in the New York young fellow,
il sometimes brutal, is usually ready
and often imaginative. An unmistak-
able oriental, in turban, baggy trousers,
gay stockings and tinseled coat, sat on
bench in Madison square the other
day, an object of interest to all the boys,
and apparently not displeased at the
attention he attracted. There came
along presently, however, two rough
looking young men, and one Of them,
pausing in front of the stranger. looked
at him in undisguised establishment.
His first surprise over, he called back
his fellow, who had passed on, and said,
pointing to the oriental, Jimmy, git on
to this" The eastern strangers splendor
seemed to call up some strange picture
in the rearward of Jimmy's imagination,
for his instant answer was, "Oh, Gin

The car was packed, fireplace just two

There was q man named Hibbs who
bought farm, built large, stately
dwelling at the end of long, shady
avenue of naples and settled down to
enjoy the comfort and independence Of
farmers life. He built cozy little
barn of logs and shingled it with clap
boards.
There was another man of the name
of Hubs who bought a farm in the
same neighborhood, built cozy little
dwelling of logs, shingled it with clap
boards and settled down to the hard,
grinding monotony of a farmers life.
This man Hubbs built q large, stately
barn at the end of long, shady avenue
of naples. At the end Of ten years
Hibbs' big house had broken him up, and
Hubbs' big barn had enabled him to buy
Hibbs' stately dwelling for about half
price and move it over on his own farm.
Hubbs has q big dwelling and a big
barn and represents his county in tho
state legislature. Hibbs has little log
cabin and little log stable and is try
ing to sell out to Hubs. He wants to

WOMEN AT ENGLISH RACES.
they Are Nearly Always Wealthy an
Attend Because They Love Sport.

they Are Nearly Always Wealthy and
Attend Because They Love Sport.
The women one sees at the races here
are the women of the fashionable world,
beautifully attired, escorted by gallants.
They move about on the lawn, or pre-
side at their luncheon tables under the
trees or over their hampers in their car
tiages; they chat and promenade, take a
light interest in the races, walk about
the paddock and look at the horses, do
the honors in box or rest in their seats
ut the grand stand; but one doesn't see
them hauling out money to put on
horse or chasing around to find out
whats good in this race" One doesn't
see them consulting the tips in the morn
Ing papers, or Jacks tips, or anybody's
tips, or in any way showing that they
are afflicted with severe attack of
gambling fever.
The English women are the most
charming feature of the English races.
They, with their lovely toilets and holt
day airs, give it the garden party favor
that helps to keep it sport instead of a
business.
But it's not in nature for them to al
ways look on and never participate.
English women have a finger in the
racing pie also. You'd hardly suspect it
to watch them at the races, but they do.
They are usually women who go racing
for the love of the sport and who know
more or less about the horses. When
they want to bet they ask a commits
sioner, some gentleman who is betting
for himself. or else some one they can
tip for the trouble, to put a certain
amount ON horse for them. No money
passes on the course. The SETTLING" is
all done away from there, and usually by
letter and checks.
Women who bet heavily and contin-
ually-and there are such--transact their
business directly with a bookmaker,
just like man. But this again isn't
evident on The course. When such q
woman fancies o horse she sends tel.
egram from her home the morning of
the day he runs, making her bet, or she
wires her bet-or "orderh-from the
course before the race. Usually, too,
she's the sort of woman who can retail
| the latest fashionable gossip in piquant
style, while her equine fancy" is add
ing to or subtracting from her bank ac-
| count.
There are great many English wom-
en- who bet in this way, and who now
and then stand to win tidy sums in the
early books on big races. Then there's
u lot of playful impromptu betting at
places like EPSON aud Ascot. I've seen
ladies lean over the front of the boxes at
EPSON and hand the shouting bookies
who stand in line in front of them SOW
ereigns and half sovereigns and name
their horses, to give the day zest or
shave it to say" that they were on n
Derby or Oaks favorite.
And I've seen ladies going to and from
the paddock at Ascot stop to have look
at the shouting ring, and go up to some
bookie and make bet "just to have the
experience and the bookie would be
las polite as basket of chips" and tbs
"experience' would be fled Away VIII

Foec,s Alarm Clock.

Fogg staid up very late yesterday
morning, or very early, If you like that
expression better-at any rate it was
nearly o'clock before he had roughly
footed up the amount he would have to
pay in hats and cigars and wine and
oyster suppers and climbed into bed.
He was to arise in good season, and set
the alarm clock to ring "for all 1t was
worth" at Z o'clock. 1t rang with o
vengeance, and fearful that it would
awaken the whole household he reached
up, smothered the bell with his hand
and took the clock down into the bed to
hold it until it would stop ringing
When he awoke again the bell had
stopped ringing and he was still hugging
the clock, which truthfully asserted that
il was after 9.--Hartford Post,

Ammonia In Coal.

Some 1900, 900 tons of coal are burned
in London yearly. About 100000 are
utilized by the gas manufacturing COM
panies; 10000 are burned in house
hold and industrial fire CRATES. Each
ton contains sufficient ammonia to pro-
luce, If treated with sulphuric acid,
twenty-five to twenty-eight pounds of
sulphate of ammonia. The total loss OF
this fertilizing agent is therefore, say,
1880 tons. AS the price of sulphate of
ammonia is go los. the ton, the none
tary loss is a94,905 every year. If we
were less wasteful we should not be so
much obliged to ransack Chilli and Peru
