Settling an Old Case.

The care of the corner property at Broad,
way and Fulton street, which E. M. Knox
bought the other day, was intrusted to
lawyers for more than half a century.
Such cases are so uncommon in this coun-
try that the instinct of the profession has
been offended by the proceeding that
cleared the property of its guardianship.
There was not large income from the
trust, but it was safe, its collection in
volved no trouble, and it had come to be
looked upon as permanency. Only an
outright sale, moreover, could transfer the
trust, because the interests concerned in it
were SO numerous that no rival lawyer
could see enough return from it to pay for
Strengthening the title, task involving
the most elaborate and intricate researches
II confess to feeling somewhat saddened
over this sale" said lawyer. 'It reminds
me of the case of young man who, sue
ceeding to his fathers law business, re-
turned home one night and joyfully in
formed his father that he had that day set
tied long standing case. Settled itp
cried the old man in dismay. You can't
mean that. DON'T jest on so serious a mat
ter. Why my dear son, I have nursed that
case for 20 years, saving it for you. Don't
tell me you have thrown away o legacy that
you might have enjoyed for life. You are
breaking your old fathers heart. 'n-New

nineteen pavs In the Woods.

W. Fl. Beller recently turned up at his
home in Mercer county, w. Va, after
having been lost for 10 days in the New
Pine mountains. For the first four day s
he travelled constantly in the endeavor
to find his way out of the wilderness in
which he was lost. When he found that
he had but two matches left, and fear
ing that he might use them up and be
unable to kindle fire, he picked out a
permanent camping place, started a fire
against pine tree and made ready to
live as best he could until aid came. His
tree burned until it fell and then he
piled brush against the fallen trunk in
order to keep the fire going. He re-
mained at that place Is days, moving 9
few feet each day as the fire Travelled
along the prostrate tree.
he slept as best he could by night, and
by day never lost sight of his fire. Once
an antlered buck came within rifle shot,
but Beller had the chagrin to see his rifle
leaning against tree, with>the buck be-
tween him and the weapon. He hallooed
at intervals each day, and the noise at
last brought hunter to his aid. Beller
was then haggard wretch, his clothing
burned in many places and his fingers
both burned and frozen. He believes
that he could not have held out two days
longer. New York Sun.

Tactuai Perceptlveness.

It is a current belief that the fingers of
the blind, more practiced in tactual explo-
ration than the fingers of those who can'see,
acquire greater observation-disclosures, espe-
cially the fingers of those blind who have
been taught to read from raised letters.
Not wishing to trust to this current belief
recently tested two youths, one of 10 and
s&t vsher younger, at the school for the
Blint. in Upper Avenue road, and found the
belief tn be correct. Instead of being unable
to distinguish between points of the COM
passes until they were opened to one
twelfth of an inch apart, / found that
both of them could distinguish between
points when only one-fourteenth Of an inch
apart. They had thick and coarse skins,
and doubtless had this intervening obstacle
so produced been less, the discriminative
power would have been greater.
1t afterward occurred to me that better
test would be furnished by those whose
fingers ends are exercised in tactual per
ceptions, not occasionally, as by the blind
in reading, but all day long in pursuit of
their occupations. The facts answered ex-
pectations. Two skilled compositors, on
whom / experimental, were both able to
distinguish between points when they were
only one-seventeenth of an inch apart.
Thus we have clear proof that constant ex-
ercise of the tactual nervous structures lead
to further development.--H Spencer

Bills of Local Interest introduced in
the Senate Today.
Senator Mcmillan has reached the con-
clusion that patience is no longer a virtue
and that perhaps compulsion will accom-
plish what persuasion was unable to. He
has attempted to have the street railroads
in this city issue new tickets each time
package is sold. In some cases the roads
voluntarily agreed to do this, but others
did not.
Today Mr.. Mcmillan introduced the fol-
lowing BILL Providing that from and after
the passage OF this act no street railway
ticket received for fare any street rail-
way in the District Of Columbia shall again
be sold to any passenger. but shall be can
celed by the company Issuing such ticket.
pany doing business in the District of Co
lumbia which shall violate the provisions of
this act shall be liable to a fine of not to
in any court of competent jurisdiction.
He also introduced the bill which would
eliminate the city Of Georgetown as such
and include that section of the .ity within
the city of Washington far as all gen.
eral laws. ordinances and regulations are
laws and regulations, etc, of Georgetown.
The blu also provides that the Com Mission
ers cause the nomenclature Of the streets
and avenues of Georgetown to conform SO
FAR as possible with those OF WashilS ton.
The Surveyors Omce.
Mr.. Mcmillan presented, as well, the hill
fixing the salary of the surveyor of the
District at 5000 per annum in lieu If fees

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
Mr. Vests Speech on the Subject of
Dimetanlsm.

The great silver debate which is to occu-
py the Senate for some time to come was
begun yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Vest Of
Missouri. He occupied the floor almost con-
tinuously for three hours. and when he fl
nally finished Mr.. Hoar obtained the floor,
but did not speak until today. Mr.. Vest
clearly stated his position, and made it
very apparent that he would resist the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman Jaw to
the last extremity.
Mr.. Vest referred to the present silver leg
islation a homeless and houseless legis-
lative dog. He would, nevertheless, vote
solemn as the great necessity of the peo-
pie, that silver shall exist in the United
states as a money metal. He had been
of the President Of the United States, and
has In all his campaign speeches in Mis-
souri, declared Mr. Cleveland to lie a BIZ
metallist like himself. and that they only
dtnerenced In reference to the ratio.
The Democratic Platform.
He had the right to make that statement,
because Mr.. Cleveland had accepted the
nomination on a platform which pledged
the democratic party to bi-metafl!ism. 1t
had been as well known that the democratic
party stood on the doctrine Of bi-metallism
as that 1t had met in Chicago and nomi-
mated Grover Cleveland for the Presidency.
He did not undertake to say now that the
President was opposed to bi-metaliisn. or
that he would not give his executive sane
tion to a measure to coin silver at a COM
mercial ratio with gold; but he did under
take to say that the Presidents Message
was most significant for what it failed to
say.
Mr.. Vest was particularly emphatic in
declaring that it would be unjust. rulnous,
and absolutely wicked to the debtor TO
strike down one-half of the currency os
the country.
Some Questions Answered.
Mr.. Palmer-"Would the repeal OF the
Sherman act bring the country to a gold
Standard"
Mr.. Vest-'I think it would. II the Sher-
man act be repealed, not another silver dol
lar will be coined in this country"
Mr.. Palmer-"How does the Sherman law
aid free coinage?"
Mr.. vest-.I do not think that Il does aid
free coinage"
Mr.. Palmer-'Then why not repeal ST."
Mr.. Vest-'I am willing to have il repeal
ed, but do not want its repeal made a
stalking horse for monometallism.'
In reply to a question by Mr.. Plat Mr..
Vest said he did not know what the Presi-
dent would do. He knew that the Presi-
dent had sent message to Congress. in
which he did not say one word ioout BIZ
metallism. an he took II for gram "a that.
II the President had any idea of sustain
ing bi-metallism, he would have said some
thing about It,
Mr.: Vest spoke at some length In defence
OF the miners and their condition ard
closed by denying the idea that there was
necessity for an international agreement
on silver.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Mr.. Voorhees, National Bank Note Bill
Agreed To.
There Was Some Opposition, but II
Was Dropped and the Record
Showed no objection.

The committee on finance Of the Senate
held meeting this morning, at which, for
an hour and half, the silver question in
It's various stages was discussed. The
only result Of the meeting was that fore
shadowed yesterday and as soon as the
Senate convened Mr.. Voorhees, reported
the bill regarding national banks which
he introduced yesterday and asked its i'm
mediate consideration.
Although there was some opposition on
the moor OF the Senate to this request 1t
was understood in committee that there
should be no opposition from that quarter.
In the committee room, however, there
was some opposition to reporting this mea-
sure by some of it's members, especially
Messrs. Jones of Arkansas and Harris.
The members leaning that way were, how
ever persuaded to throw 40 obstacles in
the path OF speedy consideration of the
DIN, and the report came from the conf
mlttee room with practical unanimity.
The discussion this morning only tended
70 snow that the finance committee was as
far removed as ever from common ground
on the question of general legislation on
the hnanciai situation. 1t was decided that
the committee should have daily sessions
beginning with Thursday next, and the
Senate Will be asked to give the committee
permission to do this. 1t is hoped that by
the time the House has taken vote on
the silver bill and amendments the Senate
committee may become reconciled and
some silver measure be adopted.
