is that DR., Eanks?"
The voice was a clear trcb and he
could distinguish female form in the
street below.
Yes he answered; what do you
want?"
'Oh! DOCTOR" SAID the voice, tremu-
lously; please come with me at once

"Fll be right down." called the doc
Tor. and. hurriedly dressing himself. he
descended and opened the door.
Come in." he said; Il will be with
you immediately"
The doctor was soon ready. and to
Eether they left the. house. She. led
him by many turns. through narrow
streets, until she opened . door intO
long. dark passage between two
dwellings and passed in. The doctor
followed her without hesitation. From
the passage they emerged into court
of dismal and dirty tenements. Into
one OF these his conductrcss led him
and MP some rickcty stairs. On the
fourth landing she opened a door and
entered On apartment. In moment
they stood beside 4 pallet ON which
lay q woman. The invalid stirred, and
turning her wan face TO them asked
fcebly:
-"Have you brought the doctor,
Alice?"
"Yes, dearest" and turning to him:
'Dr Banks. this is my sister, Miss
Carnold.'
The change his name made on the
sick woman was electric. From utter
listlessness she was aroused to the in
tcnsest excitement. A deep flush over
spread her face. and her eyes sparkled
like Goals as she raised herself upon her
elbow and gazed into his face.
1T is not he," she muttercd; yet
yes-there is likcness!''
She paused. and abruptly addressing
the doctor said: Had You ever BROTH
er. DR.. Banks?"
''Yes, madam"
.'And his name was :Henry?
ssYes."
''Where is he low?"
A dark shade passed over his face.
II do not know" he said; Il have
not heard from him for three years.
The last word I had was letter he
wrote me from California, telling of his
engagement to San Francisco girl--a
paragon of beauty and goodness.
THAT paragon is before you-o or.
rather. the wreck your faithless broth
er has left of her"
The doctor caught his breath. '.Miss
Carnold," he said. This Is a terrible
surprise to me. But, come now, your
sister shall tell me slL Meanwhile,
you must not excite yourself, but must
obey my directions strictly, If you wish
to get well"
The doctor found that hers was no
organic trouble. but rather q general
exhaustion of natures powers, arising
from worry and insufficient food. He
gave her 4 aquieting potion, and she fell
into a gentle slumber He then asked
Miss Alice to give him an account of
how the trouble with his brother had
happened.
In answer she related that her sister
had met Henry hanks at . reception

Institutions.
Bills introduced Providing for
the Forfeiture Of Certain
Land Grants.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 3.-Only thirty-one
senators answered the roll Gala bare
majority, but enough to do routine
work. Five bills were introduced, and
the next matter Of interest was the SEN
ate calendar. The first bill in order
was the Sanborn bill relating to dis
bursements in civil actions. The au-
thor readily perceived that there were
not enough of the friends of the
bill present to pass it and it was allowed
to go over. The other three bills on
the calendar-Senator Dougherty's bill
relating to conveyances by married
women and Senator Stevens two bills
relating to vacations of streets and al
leys and to sheriff's sales-were passed
without objection.
In Committee of the Whole.
A recess was then taken until II
o'clock to allow the committee on mu-
nicipal corporations to give hearing
to some interested parties. Upon reas-
sembling a number of petitions and
bills were introduced and the senate
went into committee of the whole with
Senator Dougherty in the chair. Sena-
tor Leavitt's income tax bill was recon-
mended for passage, as was also Senator
March's bill providing for the payment
of taxes in May. Senator Aliens bill,
requiring the publication of the finan
cial statement and council proceedings
of villages, was then taken up and
recommended to pass. Senator John
Day Smiths two bills relating to cruelty
to animals and to children were recon-
monded to pass. Senator Stevens Sc
two bills validating defective deeds,
mortgages, ETC., and extending the pos
sibility of trusts from two lives in being
to any number of lives in being The
committee then arose and the senate
took recess until 5 o'clock.
Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon the senate again set
tied down in committee of the whole,
with Senator Crate as presiding officer.
Several bills were favorably acted upon
and the senate adjourned for the day.
Important Measures.
Senator Erickson introduced bill at
the morning session to work forfeit
ure and a resumption by the state of all
rights, franchises, land grants, etc.,
ever given the Hastings and Dakota
railroad by the state. A similar bill
has b cen introduced in the house.

NO MORE HOOP SKIRTS
Bill to Prohibit Their Manufac-
ture or Sale Introduced in
--.asars
the House.
No Little Amusement Caused
by the Discussion Over It's
Reference.
A Number of Important Meas
ures Brought to Light in
the Senate.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 4.-Whether Mr..
Blocker, of the lower house of the Min
nesota legislature, is seeking notoriety
or not, he is in fair way to secure it.
Perhaps he has been alarmed by look
ing at the pictures of the soon-to-be
fashionable dresses in the fashion col
umns of the daily papers and seeks to
do his fellow men service by heading
off the introduction of hoop skirts in
this state, and making any woman who
wears them, as well as the manufac-
turer and merchant who sold them to
her, if they be residents of this state.
liable to arrest and fine or imprison-
ment, or both. The introduction of
bill to that effect created something of
sensation in the house, and it was
great question as to what disposition
should be made of it. Mr.. Fletcher
wanted it referred to the committee on
interpretations other than municipal.
Mr.. Leonard wanted it referred to
the committee on internal improve
ments. AS there was no such commit
tee, the speaker decided that it should
go to the committee on interpretations
other than municipal, and there it
went, in spite Of the most vigorous pro-
tests from Chairman Boggs and mo-
tions by the score to refer it to the COM
mittee on temperance, committee on
agriculture and number of other for
eign organizations.
Business Transacted.
A large number of bills were intro
duced in the house at the morning ses-
sion, making about $50 new measures
now before that body. None of the
new bills were of general Importance.
Under the head of committee reports
the committee on insane hospitals rec
commended that Mr.. Williams bill for
the care and punishment of insane
criminals be passed, and the report was
adopted.
The committee on towns and coun-
ties recommended that the bills provid-
ing for township supervision of high
ways and for authorizing towns to fund
their indebtedness be indefinitely post
poned.
The bill fixing the salaries of county
attorneys in counties of over 10000 and
having four terms of court was recon-
mended to pass with an amendment
making the salary not less than $4,000
nor more than $4,000 and making the
act inapplicable to counties having over
100000 population.
Some minor matters were disposed of
and the senate worlds fair bill was
taken up and referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations. The house
then took recess to 3 p. m.
At the afternoon session the house, in
committee of the whole, took up gen.
eral orders and discussed several bills.

A Railway Bill Based on the Iowa
Law Introduced.
The house devoted the greater part of
the morning to discussing the appoint
ment ola stenographer for the Judiciary

ness worthy of a greater cause. The
result was that a stenographer was ap-
pointed at a salary of So per day. Sew
eral bills were introduced, among them
being one by Mr.. Wilson, Of Hennepin,
repeating the tax on mortgages on Min
nesota lands. Mr.. Horton introduced a

companies to furnish ample facilities
for transferring freight and passengers
at all points where two lines intersect.
The bill also provides that all railway
companies shall upon demand, establish
reasonable joint through rates for the
transportation of freight between points
on their respective lines within the
state. Transfers are to be made at the
expense of the railroad company. In
case the companies fail to establish a
joint through rate the railroad commits
sioners are authorized to establish such
rate for them. The bill is based largely

A Bare Quorum Present When the
Roll Was Called.

A Bare Quorum Present When the
Roll Was Called.
A little less than two score of the
members of the house were in their
seats when the roll was called. One
reason for the great number of absentees
was that three of the committees had

specting schools in the northern part OF
the state and the members of the com
mittee on insane hospitals were visiting
the hospitals at ST. Peter and Roches,
ter. The roll call showed that one
member was lacking to make a quo
rum. Mr.. Bjorge put in appearance
and completed the number.

passage of certain bills were handed in.
