SURE HE WAS A GENTLEMAN
A Street Car Conductor Has a Test III.
Is Willing to Bet On.

"That man is real gentleman if he
does look a little seedy," said a street
car conductor to a New York Herald
reporter, as he pointed out a man in
the car on an uptown trip one day
last week.
"How do you decide that?'' I asked.
"Have you found some new test Of
character"
"Well, I don't know as it's any,
thing new, but I've been railroading a
good many years and I haven't
watched all sorts Of passengers for
nothing. l learned long ago that about
every woman who gets letter likes
to let everybody know it by reading
it in a street car, and that's what Led
me to think out one thing that marks
a man gentleman.
"You see that woman sitting right
beside the man 1 pointed out? Well,
she read letter that lasted ten block,
and that man never even looked at it
out Of the corners Of his eyes, let alone
trying outright to read 1t. That's how
| know he's got good breeding.
'"The next time you see a woman
reading a letter in a street car you
watch any man who happens to be sit
ting near her and see if he doesn't try
to get a look at the letter himself.
Nine times out Of ten he will, and
sometimes he'll make himself such a
nuisance that I'd like to interfere If
dared. If he doesn't you may be
dead certain he's first class gentle
man. I'll bet on that test"
''How about the women? Does your
test apply to them, too?''
"Well, moo; hardly think it does,
for I've never seen the woman on my
car yet that wouldn't give sly glance
at letter another was reading If she
could"

CONSUMPTION DURABLE.
Heroic Action on the Part of Gotham

New York, Feb. 26-The sanitary
superintendent was ordered yesterday

doctors and institutions report to the
health department such patients, and
to require landlords to immediately dis

tion like smallpox, but converts to the
Amick theory that lung troubles are
not contagious and are durable are in

An Amick depository was established
here last week to supply free test
medicines proving his theory to New
York physicians, and those living in
other states can send to Cincinnati,
where the dfscoverer lives. Even the

of the board of health said recently
that the success of the Cincinnati treat

The committee concludes: line presl-

finds the treaty not negotiated TOO
hastily. as charged, because both
parties desired it's speedy conclusion
in the interest of good government.
Moreover the danger of the Islands
falling into the hands of a European
power made prompt action necessary.
The report finds Stevens earnest adj

Led to revolution" but eXonerates Capt.
Wiltse. Butler and Turpie submit a
brief statement in favor of annexation
of the islands. The testimony taken
by the committee is very voluminous,
covering over 700 pages touching all
points of the controversy. Stevens
testified that his reasons for declaring
a protectorate was that both Japanese
and British purposed doing SO. Blount

thorfty of the claim that each of the
defendants was entitled to three
strikes, and he didn't think it could be
found. He asked the court to consider
what the application of such rule in
| this case would mean. The defend
arts might have appeared by one at
! tOrney. Mr.. Jones said that it would
be unprofeSsiOnal for one attorney to
represent the diverse interests Of these
defendants, and Mr.. Olin retOrted that
to the extent the interests of defend
ants were diverse to that extent the
plaintiffs had no cause of action.
Judge Siebecker ruled that while the
defendants were in a sense separate in
their defense, they could not be con-
sidered as each making a distinct de-
Tense, and he therefore held them to
be considered as a single party and en-
titled to but three strikes of Jurors for
all.
The court then adjourned till 9
O'Clock p. H., at which hour the work
Of selecting jury was Immediately
taken UP. Roll call developed the fact
that aL jurors We're present. Twelve
names were drawn from the box and
the owners Of them took their seats
Ill the jury box. Each was then the
target Of searching examination by
Mr.. DIN. On account Of the very gen
eral publication Of the facts of the case
the attorneys wisely decided not TO
attempt TO secure men perfectly ig-
norant OF the subject The men were
asked, i'll the main, as to whether they
Knew any Of the parties, knew the
facts Of the case had formed any opin-
lon, or were aware Of any reason why
they could not sit and try the case
ImpartIally on the law and the evil
dence. Of the twelve men but one, Mr.
VIM. Dumphy, of Sun Prairie, was
found who had formed an opinion suf-
ficient to prejudice him in the case
Mr.. Dumphy was excused. After d
short examination by the defendants
the striking process was begun and
the jury was finally complete, the
operation being ended shortly before
q O'Clock, without going outside of the
regular jury list This important az
gregation of men was duly sworn in
and solemnly instructed by the judge
as to their duties. They were made
to feel the extreme Importance Of the
action.
The jury is composed of the follow
ing men:
julius Baldwin, Oregon; NJ. f. En-
dres, Springfield; John Goodwin, Yer

Washington, Feb. ,26.-The battle
over the Bland seigniorage bill vii
go merrily ON in the house this week
Despite the many reyerseS Mr.. Blanc
has met in his attempts to procure q
quorum, he is as determined as evel
to light 1T out on this line if it takes
all winter. Ii he does not succeed
however, in the course of Il few days
it is not probable that the speaker and
his associates on the rules committee
will permit his bill to longer block the
path OF business.
AS the opponents Of the measure have
now adopted an open tilibustering pol
icy, u rule will be formulated by the
committee on rules to prevent this, and
bring the vote down directly to Bland
motion.
While 1t would seem from the mum
Der who signed the caucus bill-116-
that majority of the democrats favor
some method Of preventing tilbuster-
ing, some OF the leading members do
not desire to push such modification
OF the rules ut the end Of this long
fight. With eighty majority, they
think they should first vindicate their
ability to eXtricate themselves from
the present humiliating position, and
afterwards, they argue, the events OF
the past two weeks would furnish am
pie Justification for such a modification
Of the rules.
The outlook for the week is, there
fore, full of contingencies. The strug-
gle over the Bland bill may drift into
Il big parliamentary contest over a
change i'll the rules, in which event
there WELL be some bitter opposition
manifested from the democratic side,
especially if the proposed rule contenl-
plated lodging i'll the speakers hands
the power to count Il quorum is adopted.
The senate finance committee adj
journed after a brief session this morn
Ing, the subcommittee not having com
pleted the tariff bill. The senate demo
Gratis caucuSsed an hour on the tariff
and adjourned till la ter in the day.
At $50 the caucus adjourned until
tomorrow at 1 o'clock, after u con-
tinuous four hours session.
In the house, Mr. Hatch moved that
his anti-option bill be taken from the
ways and means committee and re
ferred to the agricultural committee
His purpose was to insure an early
favorable report. After some debate
the motion was carried, So to 81 Mn
Warner made the point of no quorum.
Mr.. Bland called for the ayes and nays.
Bland being unable to secure quo
rum concluded to allow the debate on
the bill to proceed, at the same time de-
claring that he would return to the
assault tomorrow.
Two sensational speeches followed,
one by Mr.. Pence, of Colorado, who
denounced the republicans for submit
ting to 4 crack, ex-speaker Reeds,
whip, and warned him that if the
election of president is thrown into
the house in 1896 he will rue his fill
clustering course. The other was by
Mr.. Fithian, who condemned in the
seyerest terms the action of his demo-
cratic colleagues for taking part in
the filibuster
The remainder of the entire session
was characterized by stormy squabb1es
and Mr.. Pence was finally called down
for his rash language and manners.
