tainly have given me something, for these
people are never wanting in charity of that
kind, but the dress ! wore excited her mis-
trust.
Amt got no money" said she, land you
dressed like that with a gown good enough
for me. Why, what have you done2n and
as l made no reply she continued: You're
run away from service and done something
wrong. Don't tell me. You've got 1t in
your face. You wouldn't look SO wild if
you hadn't done a mischief No, my gal,

The fog which sheltered me from obser-
vation the day before had given place to a
driving rain, and now as l plodded on
through the streets every one noticed me.
Two factory girls, with the fringe and gau-
dy ostrich feathers of their class, stopped,
gaping, right before me.
"Oh, my Lor, look at her, Lizw said one,
and then as passed she broke forth into a
Shrek of laughter and derision
The spectacle was grotesque enough to
excite coarse vita girl, with melancholy
madness in her face, dragging slowly along
the street in the drenching rain, and re-
specially dressed. That did not occur to
me then. l was too detected to heed ridi-
cule or to ask myself what there was in my
misery that seemed ludicrous.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE,

Senator voorhees, Introduces n Resolu-
tion Providing for Cioture.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2l.-Durng the brief
period that the doors of the senate were
open and the public admitted to the gal
leries few important events occurred.
Chief among them was the introduction
of cloture rule by Mr.. Voorhees,, practi-
cally the same as that fathered by Mr..
Hill. 1t provides that when any bill or
resolution which occupies the advan-
tageous position of unfinished business"
has been debated for thirty days, any SEN
ator may, at any time, make n motion fix
ing the time when the final vote shall be
taken, that that motion shall be put i'm
mediately, and that during its pendency,
or when the time fixed for the final vote
arrives, no debate or amendment shall be
permitted. The original motion, however,
must have the affirmative vote of major
ity of all the senators entitled to seats
The resolution may come up for action
this afternoon. An amendment to the
silver purchase bill was offered by Mr..
Peifer, and occupies the position of being
the first amendment that must be voted
on. 1t is a free coinage amendment, but
1t specifically revives and puts in force the
free coinage act of 1887
Although the house transacted more
than the usual amount of business, its
proceedings were almost entirely devoid of
interest. The only incident out of the or
dinary was the charge by Representative
Simpson that Mr.. Curtis, also of Kansas,
was the agent or attorney OF railroadr
running through the Cherokee strip,
which the latter vigorously denied.

When grew dizzy and felt too weak to
walk, I turned down bystreet, hoping to
find another bench where might rest a
little. But had walked away from the
park, and the by street only led me into a
desolate waste, broken by few squalid
houses in scattered blocks, gas works and
here and there In the dim horizon a factory
| shaft Not bank to sit on-not even a
| railing to rest Notwithstanding but level
stretch of mud and refuse thinly patched
with tufts Of grinly nettles and whitening
grass, an ocher sky above and a distance
gray with the slanting rain.
Iplodded on doggedly-why should go
back-with my head down, like a jaded
beast, sometimes closing my eyes to shut out
the surroundings which seemed to add to
the sick loathing within me, stumbling in
rough places. careless whether fell or not
benumbed, dazed, more asleep than awake
The howl of a tug aroused me, and lift
ing my head drowsily found that | was
by the side of the river, separated from 1t
only by narrow causeway and a strip of
oozy shingle The factories on the other
side were half hidden in their own smoke,
beaten down by the rain. The line of shore
upon this side was unbroken save by
hulk that stood aground at some distance
n
cloud that hung overth river and watched
the swell it made flow up the shingle and
recede, flowing again and falling in dimin-
ishing waves until the last ripple faded
away, leaving the stream as still as pond
Under the steady rain.
1t was time to go on again, now that
there was nothing more to notice. Which
way should got | asked myself, and then,
Where should | go, and whyS Neither
shelter nor food was to be got by walking
nothing but aching pain in body and soul
Better to stop here and rest. A wisp of
straw came into sight, floating down with
the stream so easily that envied its condi-
tion. To lie upon the water and knowing
nothing, feeling nothing, to pass away in
endless sleep, surely that must be good 1t
would not be colder to lie in the river than
to stand shivering in the rain. Nothing
could be worse than living
walked down the shingle and stood In
the water. 1t seemed warm TO my feet. |
walked out still farSier, and my limbs
ceased to shake under me- What a fool |
had been to endure such misery, with this
alternative at handl went out more swift
ly till the water lifted me from my feet,
and felt myself going ON and on without
exertion. put my hands up to my breast
to see if the ring was there and clasped
them upon it to keep 1t safe.
Then out of the darkness that closed over
me the grave kind face of Taras came into
sight, and out Of the rushing sound in my
ears his voice spoke, know not what, but
with the tones l had heard before of sooth-
ing music. Everything was fading away
like ideas at the approach of sleep, but at
the very last the kind eyes smiled as if
Taras in those dying sounds were saying.

ing that of Mr.. Kilbreth to be collector
OF customs Mt New York, a nomination
which, when it was made, Aug %, at
tracted much attention among the poll
ticans of New York state, and against
which there was much opposition set up
for several weeks
denomination of Van Allen was called
up by Mr. Gray, of the foreign relations
committee, and debate was precpit ated.
The discussion was good natured through
out, but there was great deal said about
dudes" "mugwumps" and such things.
Mr.. George was the only Democrat who
voiced his opposition, although the roll
call shows he WIS not alone among Demo-
Gratis in his opposition to confirmation.
Mr.. Hill said nothing, contenting himself
with simple vote in the negative. Mr..
German, it is understood, defended the ad.
ministration from the criticisms cast upon
the nomination by the Renublicans.
Speeches criticzing the wisdom of the Sc
lection of the executive were also made by
Senators Lodge and Teller, while other
senators, especially those from the silver
states. supported ths views expressed more
at length by the senator from Colorado
A motion was made to recommit the
nomination TO the committee on foreign
relations, but it was promptly tabled.
Subsequently the vote on confirmation
was taken, resulting in 30 yeas and 20
nays.

The committee on resolutions OF the

time yesterday at the chamber OF com.
merce. w. i. Smythe of the Irrigation
Age, said that he was not there to
sntagonize any one, but was there for
the purpose of assisting in doing some
thing for the reclamation OF arid lands.
He dwelt on the beauties Of compromise
and declared that harmony was what he
was after. This statement met with the
appreciation of all present.
lie proposed that an address be made
to the country. That there should be
suggested in this address that q commits
zion OF delegates be selected from each
state, that after consultation the various
state commission select q delegate to a
rational commission, and that this ma
,ional commission formulate the plans
and methods to reclaim the arid lands
and establish water supplies. That this
be submitted to the next irrigation con-
gress and acted upon. Major Smythe
talked earnestly and long on this propos-
ition and developed the fact that he had
his subject we'll under control.

William Hammond Hall, at one time
state engineer, arose and made an
earnest address. He opined that the
s'ste should have exclusive jurisdic
tion over the water ways and should
have power to fix the water rights, such
as are proper concerning the streams,
rivers and other sources of supply. He
thought that the Wright act in many in
stances was incomplete and that with
the state in control of the water sup
ply much good could result there
from.
J.F. Rocho. delegate from Colorado.
deprecated the monopoly OF the arid
and semi-srid lands by syndicates. He
declared that the lands given to rail-
roads and syndicates should be taken
away from them when the said railroads
and syndicates violated their contracts,
He declared that the land belonged to
the people, and that with government
aid untold wealth and prosperity would
result from the reclamation OF lands in
Colorado.
MONEY WANTED. n@W =
Chairman Sheldon arose and stated
that in order to reclaim the bonds there
must be lots of money forthcoming. He
did not believe it prudent to wait, but
that action must be taken at once.
Colonel Fl nton, delegate from New
Mexico, said that il the bonds were
ceded to he states it would cause some
Of the more powerful states to be rebel
lious.

several eub-commiitee be appointed to
draw up some definite proposition in
writing which could be amended and
substituted by others as the committee
raw fit.
