The fact that an authorization for
bonds was not a feature brought relief
20 many Of the Southern aud Western
members The Democratic leaders,
Speaker Crisp, General Catchings, Mr..
Outhwaite, Governor Sayers and Judge
Culberson are in favor of Immediate &C
ton on the bill when II comes back from
the Senate, and should il appear
in the house before the consideration Of
the bankruptcy bill which is made
continuing order beginning on Monday,
Is completed, they would favor vacat-
ing that order TO give the compromise
the right Of way. The Democratic
leaders express very general sstIsfac-
tion with the proposed compromise,
do not seem TO feel that there Is much
doubt but that any proposition that
will prove acceptable 70 both wings OF
the party in the Senate will pass the
House. The ultra silver Democrats OF
the House like Bland
HAVE NO OPINION To EXPRESS
for publication, but the prevailing
opinion Is that in view Of the necessity
for 3 show OF party harmony they will
content themselves VIII lubluB oRoiuSa
the measure. A goodly portion Of the
silver Democrats will probably, how
ever, vots for the compromise, il their
votes are needed to secure its passage.
The Republicans have not yet deci-
ded about the course they will pursue.
They will be governed largely by what
their political brethren in the Senate
do. There are two features OF the COM
promise to which they object, tho fall
ure to provide for bond issue and the
coinage Of she selgnorage In she treasu-
~. The coinage Of the seiEnorage
would reDlenish the treasury TO she eX-
tent OF $50, 900, coo, and tide the admin
lstration over for the next year II the
deficit should not be larger than is at
present estimated.

GRAFTON, w. VA. October 21.-one
OF the most daring robberies took
place here last night which has
been perpetrated In this section for
years. In the glare OF an electric
light, not twenty yards distant, thieves
effected an entrance through the front
door Of the postofice and in q truly
professional manner, cracked the big
iron safe and rfled 1t Of its entire con-
tents, consisting OF about S413.71 in
stamps OF various denominations; 500
in money and twenty-four registered
packages OF unknown value.
The dial Of the com bination lock and
the handle were battered of with 3
sledgs hammer, which had been stolen
from a near by bl acksmith shop, and
through the holes thus made powder
was inserted which blew of the COM
bination lock. The work was that OF
professionals who had previously thor
oughly familiarlzed themselves with
tu6 SlbudllOus duu JuC nlkub OOiuh Wv
and disagreeabe, added additional Sc
curity for their nefArlous work.
The town is all aRog this morning
over the affair and many coniectures
are ahoat as TO the probable identity OF
the perpetrators, but so far nothing
definite is known.
This morning three Of the registered
packages were found by Oficer Bender,
but none Of them, however, contained
money. Five suspicious characters
have been lodged in jail to await fur
ther developments. A United States
detective will leave Washington to-day
for Grafton TO work up the case.
For some time a feeling OF uneasiness
has prevailed, and the banks have been
watched nightly to prevent An attack,
as the town has been overrun with
tramps and idlerS.

He Sold the Dog Too Soon.

Nick is IN Office boy employed ON Broad
way. He turned up in the Office one day
with an %ungainly looking cur hanging OF
to n tattered rope which he had improvised
from some in the ash barrel. The
chief clerk shook his head resolutely at
Nick's proposition that the canine should
become one of the Office staff. Nick said it
was too cold for thoroughbred dogs to be
wandering about without a home. The
clerk said that it was Il cur and had better
die anyway, so Nick led his acquisition oil
into the street. He was looking about as
detected as the Cur, when u lady met him
who looked as if she might have picked up
her information about CANNES at the dog
show. She accostcd Nick and asked him
what he would take for the dog.
"Scventy-fivc cents" said Nick.
The woman took out n half dollar and
compromised. Then she led the dog off in
triumph.
When Nick got buck to the office, the
chief clerk said to him: mick, you're in
luck. There's a $40 reward in The Herald
this morning for your dog" Nick began
to feel giddy. 1.-The description tallies ex-
actly. Take it around to Is Irving place
and get your slO," added the clerk. Nick
slid out of the Office without making any
reply, and just rs he reached the steps of
Is he met the woman who had bought the
dog coming down with q new $40 bill in her
hand and Il smile on her face which made
Nick so off and kick himself all over.-New

Women In the Medical Field,

In this city the graduation of II women
from a medical college is not an event of
great surprise. The number of the gradu-
ating class may be a little larger thar usual,
but the event itself is only q repetition of
what has been going on annually in 'slow
old Philadelphia" for a long period of time.
1t was characteristic Of this city that, while
other towns were talking about the priv
ilegcs which they intended to grant to
women, Philadelphia was already granting
the same privileges or better without even
the usual amount Of boasting over it.
1t would probably surprise many we'll in
formed Philadelphians to know the actual
number Of this class of practitioners. It's
growth was at first the subject of some ridi-
Guile. The ~''shinglc" of one of them was first
swung where men could see it, exciting con-
siderable comment. Then after q long time
came another, and again after a lengthy
period still another. This was il the day
when woman's advent into the professions
was looked upon in q contemptuous way.
The prejudice they had to did not
yield Immediately. AS a matter of fact,
much of it remains even yet. But any one
can convince himself of the fact that it is
disappearing by making q tour of many
parts of the city and studying the profess
sional plates on the way. On one street
alone in the older part of town four or five
may be counted within a radius of a block.
and the number is still increasing. They
would not be there if it did not pay to put
them out.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
