question he kept prowling about, but
did not come within the railing near
the members seats. His hand was
held inside his vest, as il grasping
something. and his lips were pale and
quivering.
On his pistols being taken from him
after the affair they were found to be

and loaded with powder and ball al
most to the muzzle, the barrels being
about six inches long. 1t was a most
astonishing circumstance, almost
reaching to the miraculous, that

GREEN FEED AND PURE AIR FOR POULTRY.
II should never be forgotten that
poultry need some kind of green food
at all seasons of the year. In winter
there can be given them cabbages,
chopped onions, or turnips, occasion
ally varying this diet with short late
dried hay. Poultry also relish corn
stalk leaves, if chopped frc. III tho
early spring time, when the ground
first softens from the frost, grain and
other seeds should be thrown into the
pens, and unless they are kept in the
open, they should hava . plentiful
supply of it daily. ,Eor young chick
ems, nothing is so beneficial and so
gateful as run upon newly grown
grass. Grass torn up by the roots is
eaten by hens, it is true, but not with
that advantage or relish as when they
can pluck it standing. Some poultry
keepers sprout oats in boxes of earth
and allow their birds to eat off the soft
shoots. Rutabagas and carrots are
excellent winter feeds, and about the
cheapest to be obtained. 1t may be
that the fowls Eabg will net aI take to them in
cooked, mashed, and mixed with bran
and meal Next to plentiful supply
of green food, ventila.ion is :he most
important item 30 &c conai,iered IN
keeping fowls healthy. More fowls
have perished for the want of perfect
ventilation than from any other cause.
One of the best and simplest plans to
let pure air into the poultry house is
to have hole in the floor about six
inches wide and several feet long, and
covered over with wire netting, which
is left open in summer and kept COW
cred up III winter. With q corre-
spending opening at the top, this will
admit the fresh air from the bottom,
and also allow all heavy gases to es-
cape 1t is the most perfect system
that can be devised for admittin" pure
air to poultry houses, and it is, at the
same time. the cheapest and most
easily arranged. Sunlight, pure air.
and green food make poultry profit
able, but lack of them brings disease
and consequent loss. American Agri-
culturist.

DIFFERENCE OF o.IxIox
Is 10 Nhsn the Final Vote Will Be Had On The
s 1pfin Bill.

WASHINGTON, June "a The party lead
| err ON bosh sides of the chamber agree that
this week ' i'll see the tariff bill out of the
| Senate but as to the precise date there u =
divergence of opinion. Messrs. Harris and
Jones expect to see the final vote taken not
later than Tuesday evening. Mr.. Aldrich,
on the Republican side, says 1t may De
taken then, but more likely will be ON
Thursday. Mr.. Allison says the vote may
be taken Thursday, but hardly thinks 1t
will be reached before Saturday.
The Republicans have not abandoned
| their intention of fully debating certain
| propositions found in the bill, such As the
sugar schedule, it is alleged in connec-
ton with the trust and the investigation now
going on; neither will they overlook the
abandonment of the reciprocal or CONNER
cial arrangements made under the provis-
| ions of the Mckinley act.
They reason that after the conferees
made their report and the policy of the con-
| trolling party as finally agreed upon become
known, will be ample time to discuss these
subjects and discuss them in the light
of printed information as to what
the party in power intends to IN
graft In the law. For that reason there

1t is believed that the income tax part Of
the bill will be concluded tomorrow, and
possibly the internal revenue paragraphs.
A large number of amendments are still to
be offered to the income tax and the attack
the Republicans intend making on the in
crease in tax on whiskey may prevent those
matters from being disposed of in one day.
Tomorrow has been set aside fof the con-
sideration in the House of business relating
to the affairs of the District Of Columbia.
When the House adjourned, Saturday, the
general deficiency appropriation bill was
unfinished business, and the subjects in the
bill, undisposed of by the committee of the
whole, promised to require an ordinary
Days session for settlement. The proba-
bilities seem to be that other general legis-
lation will not be considered before
Wednesday.
There are half a half dozen measures
on the calendar whose advocates are desir-
Gus of securing recognition. the bill to ad-
nit New Mexico to statehood standing the
best show for first place. Another bill that
nestles in the good graces of the leaders
is that introduced by Representative
Cooper (Dem.) of Indiana authorizing the
states to tax greenbacks as gold and silver
are taxed. i''
As an alternative programme, there are
Mr.. fuckers joint resolution promising an
amendment to the constitution to provide
for the election of senators by the direct
vote of the people; and the bill reported by
the committee on public buildings and
grounds for the erection of govern
ment printing office.

- July 0-What The Field Says.
GLASGOW. June 21--It has been def
nitely settled that the Vigilant and Val
kyrie will engage in their first contest on
the Clyde on July 5. as neither yacht will
be got ready in time to race at an earlier
date.
The vigilant. Valkyrie. Britannia and
Satanita have been entered for the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club regatta, which will be
sailed on Belfast Tough, on July 10 and
II. The schooner yacht Lasca, owned by
John f. Brooks of New York. has been
entered for the cruiser in this regatta.
The ViRilant. Valkyrie and Britannia
will probably enter the Royal Cork Yacht
Club regatta on July "a.
The match race between the Britannia
and the vigilant, which, as already
cabled. has been arranged to take place
at Cowes during the race week at Good
wood, in the early part of August. will be
sailed over the Royal Yacht squadron
course.
In regard to the complaints made ny
American newspapers at the alleged re-
fusal OF the Royal Victoria yacht club to
allow the Vigilant to sail for the gold
cup, the Field points out that neither q
challenge nor an intimation from Messrs.
George nor Howard Gould has been re-
ceived by that club, SO it Is not likely
that the vigilant's entry has been re-
jected.
The Field adds that it is safe to infer
that the committee Of the Victoria yacht
club will not stand in the way Of sport
should the vigilant challenge for the gold
cup

At WILLIAMS COLLEGE.
Saturdays Tragedy Cast Gloom Over The
Commencement Exercises.

WILLAMsTOwN, Mass, June 24.-The
tragedy of yesterday made the commence
ment exercises of Williams college, today,
very solemn and impressive. In the Con
Qregational church, this morning, President
Carter preached the baccalaureate sermon.
At the close of his sermon, in his charge to
the graduating class, DR.. Carter
referred in a very feeling manner to
the sad event of yesterday. He paid high
tribute to the character and talents of the
departed.
AT the afternoon meeting in the church,
Rev. DIR. Stoddsrd 81, New York presided.
The object of the meeting was to comment
crate the founding of foreign mission work.
Addresses were made by several. The

by Rev. /. II. Twitchell.

mony with the recognized principles of in
