WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The resolution

for the recall OF Minister Willis from Ha-

THE DEADLOCK BROKEN
Senators Desert New Jerseys
Democratic Senate.
THE CAPE MAY STATESMAN LEADS
Mr. Miller Says He VIII Invite tho Re-
publican Senators to the Chamber, and
VIII Unite with Thorn in Organizing

TRENTON, Feb 27.-The first break from
che Democratic senate came last night
when Senator Miller, of Cape May, made
q speech denouncing the deadlock and de
claring his intention to have nothing more
70 DO with the senate. Senator Miller said
that he and others who had Joined in the
democratic organization had but one mo-
tive and one incentive, and that was not
to protect race track legislation.
Mr.. Miller said he was willing to assert
that this Democratic senate was kept up
for the purpose Of aiding the race track
people. The people of New Jersey had
come to that conclusion, and so had he,
most positively. lie did not care to be a
party to this organization any longer. If
the Republicans would come into this
chamber he would vote TO seat their sena.
tors.
lie was no lawyer; knew nothing about
the law, and wanted to know nothing
about it, and, without intending any dis
respect to the court his own opinion was
that the quo warranto proceedings were
only farce. He did not propose to go
into the senate, nor mike himself any
more conspicuous than was necessary, but
before he would see the Republicans ad-
1ourned sine die he would invite them into
TINS enamber and assure them of his sup
port
MIR. Miller was severely denounced by
Senator lilnchliifc, who told him that he
deserved many of the things that had been
said about him. and that his conscience
troubled him and caused him to do what
he had done He said some of the rest of
them might feel the same way, but they
did not want to parade their troubles be-
fore the public.
Senator Perkins had also intended to
Withdraw from the Democratic senate, but
was prevented by motion to adjourn.
He says that he will withdraw tonight.
Senator Martin, who ia i'll, is said to be in
sympathy with the movement These SEN
ators will probably not go over the Re
publican senate, but they will vote to re
eeivs all the credentials. The break Is
causing much apprehension among the

NUNS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
They WIN Act as Teachers, but VIII Not
Teach Religion.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 27-Four Sisters of
Charity have taken possession of four
rooms In the Riverside public school, thir-
ty-fourth ward, West End, and for the
first time in the history of the public
schools of Pennsylvania nuns have been
given permission to teach-not the doc
trines of the Roman Catholic church, but
the system as laid down by the central
board of education.
No friction was caused by the entry of
the sisters in the role of teachers in the
public schools. BY an agreement with the
school board of the ward, the parochial
school Of st. James church and the pub
lie school were consolidated. The sisters
regularly applied for certificates to teach
which were granted by the central board
OF education and yesterday the consolida-
tion went into effect
The children from the parochial school
were placed in separate rooms, but this
only temporary. There will be no distinc-
tion among scholars or teachers. Protes-
tant children will be taught by the isis
ter teacher as well as Catholics.
The school is to be conducted as hereto
fore on the uniform plan adopted by the
central board of education, and under the
statues of the commonwealth governing
public schools. The Bible has not been
read In the Riverside school for six years
at least, and no change will be made now.

Splitting salt is usually held to be very
unlucky omen. Something evil, II is b&
lieved, will happen to tho family or thu
person spilling it. According to a general
supposition, this sign dates back 10 this
time of the last supper, when one OF the
disciples-perhaps Judns--overturned the
saltcellnr. An old English paper contains
the following lines:
Wen tell you the reason
Why spilling OF salt
Is esteemed such fault
Because II does everything season.
The antiques did opinc
Twas Of friendship u sign,
To serve IL to guests In decorum,
And thought love decayed
When tho negligent maid
Let tho saltcellar tumble before them.
II Is generally believed that the evil con.
sequences OF an accident of this sort may
be averted by eating a pinch Of what was
/. spilled or throwing IL in the fire or over
the left shoulder. Many persons will not
be helped 10 salt because they keep in
mind the old saw, "IIelp TO salt, help tV
sorrow" A gentleman renting house in
Wales and purchasing part OF the furni,
ture of the former occupant was advised
to buy the saltbox, which he did, no one
bidding against him. He was afterward
told that i'll luck would have followed him
If he had not bought it,--Washington Post.
