There was n time" the parson said,
Before these days Of sin,
When ladies wore onc-button gloves
And dresses to the chin.
But now they've changed all that again,
The style is different-bless us!
They button gloves up TO the chin
And wear one-button dresses"

NOT REEDS RULE,
But the House Has q Plan to Prevent
Members Breaking q Quorum by
Not Voting.
The Scheme Is to Deduct a Days Pay
From Each Member Who Doesn't
Answer.
1t Would Simply Carry Out the Pro-
visions of an Existing Law-HOuse
and Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-Ths Demo
cratic leaders of the house have been
considerably exercised of late over the
disposition manifested by the Repub-
licans to force them to produce a
quorum upon all important propositions
committed to the house. They believe
the Republicans, under the leadership
of Mr.. Reed, are trying to compel them
to adopt the expedient resorted to in the
Fifty-first congress Of counting .
quorum.
Journal Clerk Crutchield, however,
has formulated a rule. which will, in
his opinion, accomplish the same end in
a different way, and the question of
adopting it as an amendment to the
rules is now under consideration. The
rule which he proposes is as follows:
whenever upon a roll call a quorum
fails to appear, upon the demand of any
member, the clerk shall certify a list of
the members not voting on such call to
the sergeant-at-arms, who shall deduct
from the monthly compensation of each
member SO failing to vote, the amoun
of his salary for one day; provided that
this deduction shall not be made in the
case of a member who is absent by leave
of the house."
Simply Enforcing a Law.
1t is pointed out that this rule would
simply carry out the provisions of ex-
listing law, which, according to section
40 of the revised statutes Of the United
States require that for every
day "a member of the house is absent, ex
cept on account of sickness, the pay for
such day shall be deducted from his
salary. Heretofore, however, the
sergeant-at-arms has had no way of as
certaining in an official way who was
absent. This rule will simply certify
the list of absentees to him, only, how
ever, upon occasions when absenteeism
caused a failure of a quorum. 1t is be,
lieved that if the salaries of members
were deducted when they refuse to vote,
the practice Of abstaining from voting
upon important roll calls would bt
speedily discontinued, and it is very
, probable that the method of stopping
this abuse devised by Mr.. Crutchfelt
will very shortly be adopted as one 0
! the permanent rules Of the house.

Suicide, or Foul Play?

Big Timber nas never received such
a shock as it did Wednesday evening
when it was reported that II. E. Lee
veaux, president ard general manager of
the Independence Mining company, was
dead. Mr.. Leveaux was seen at his
house by a messenger boy about IL
o'clock Wednesday forenoon. He had
completed arrangements to go to the
mines in the afternoon, but having failed
to make his appearance the alarm was
given. A. M. Harris and others went to
his cottage and found 1t locked. Not re-
ceiving any reply from their raps they
forced an entrance, where they found
him lying on the bed dead, shot through
the heart, his revolver lying at his feet.
Public opinion is divided as to the cause
of his death. Some think it is the work
of his own hands. while his immediate
friends believe it is foul play.
