WILSON BILL PASSED.
GOES THROUGH THE HOUSE BY
A VOTE OF GOA TO i4O.
Reed Makes Plea for Protection, While
Crisp and Wilson Defend tho Proposed
Measure-wilson's Admirers Garry Him
About ON Their Shoulders.


At the conclusion OF one OF the grand
est, most imposing, and most impress
sive scenes ever witnessed in the
American Capitol, the Wilson tariff
bill passed the House OF Representa-
tives by vote Of 2O4 to 140. The
events leading up to it were almost
unparalleled in the annals of this coun-
try. Such vast concourse of people
as assembled to hear the last argu-
ments upon the great economic issue
about to be submitted for final arbitra-
ment to the representatives OF the
American people had never before been
seen within the pr ecincts of the ma
tion's Legislative capital.
Three hours of debate preceded the
vote on the bill. The participants were
ex-Speaker Reed, Speaker Crisp and
Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and
Means Committee. The galleries were
filed to overlooking with eager and
expectant listeners. The corridors
were packed and long lines of appli-
cant5 for admission stood at each gal
lery door. All preparations had been
made for picturesque ending to the
long debate and no one was disap-
pointed by the entertainment. When
the result of the ba lot had been an
nounced Mr.. Wilson was carried about
the chamber on the shoulders OF his
admirers.
Strictly speaking, it was not the Will
son bill that was passed, but what re-
NAMED of the measure after running the
gantlet of the committee of the whole
in three weeks debate. During this
discussion some of the main features Of
the measure prepared by the Ways and
Means Committee we're eliminated and
important provisions added, but the
bill will continue to be known as the
Wilson bill. Before the final vote was
taken the House ratified all the
changes that had been ordered by the
committee of the who'e, so that the
measure as it now stands provides for
raw materials, including, coal, iron ore,
lumber, hides. salt and wool, free
sugar, an income tax, no sugar bounty,
and no reciprocity features. The vote
in detail was as follows:

Pictures by an Armless Painter.

A remarkable art exhibition is an
nounced at Bristol. 1t is an exhibit
tion of thirty paintings by Mr..
Bartram Hiles, an artist who, while
quite boy, met with an accident by
which he lost both arms. Having
from childhood shown a strong dis
positian and love for drawing, he
was taken in hand by some artistic
friends and taught to draw, holding
the pencil In his mouth. After a
time he became a student at the
Merchant Venturers' Schools, and
studied so assduously that he won a
National Scholarship, value E104,
which also carries the privilege OF
studying at the National Art Train
ing School at South Kensington for
two years, during which time he also
won one national silver medal and
two national bronze medals. In con-
sideration of his having won these
honors, the authorities at South Ken
sington sent him to Paris for some
months to study at the museums,
paying all his expenses. The armless
painter at Antwerp Is we'll known;
but 1t will be news to many people TO
hear OF an English artist contending
with the same disability. st. James

DEATH ON CHOLERA GERMS.

Deadly Oriental Plague.

Tobacco Soon Destroys the Bacilli OF the
Deadly Oriental Plague.
Some interesting investigations
have been made on the vitality Of
cholera organisms on tobacco by
Wernicke, says Nature. Small pieces
of linen soaked in cholera-broth cul-
lures were rolled up in various kinds
Of tobacco, and the latter were made
into cigars. At the end of twenty
four hours only "a few bacilli were
found on the linen, and none on the
leaf. On sterile and dry tobacco
leaves, the bacilli disappeared in one
half to three hours after incubation.
On moist, unsterilized leaves they
disappeared in from one to three
days, but on moist and sterile leaves
in from two to four days. When
introduced into per cent. tobacco
infusion (ten grams of leaves to 200
grams of water), however, they re-
tanned their vitality up to thirty
three days, but in a more concen-
trated infusion Zone gram of leaves
to two grams or water) they sue
cumbed in twenty four hours. When
enveloped in tobacco smoke they
were destroyed, in broth cultures. as
well as in sterilized and unsterilized
saliva, in five minutes. Another au-
thority describes series Of expert
ments in which he prepared broth
cultures Of different pathogenic mi
crobes, and conducted through them
the smoke from various kinds of to-
bacco. Out of thirty-three separate
Investigations, in only three were
the cholera organisms alive after
thirty minutes exposure to tobacco
fumes. But in actual experience the
apparent antiseptic properties of to-
bacco have not frequently been met
with; thus, during the influenza cpl
demic In 1889, Visalli mentions the
remarkable immunity from this dis
case which characterized the opera
tives in tobacco manufactures; that
in Genoa, for example, out of 1000
work people thus engaged, not one
was attacked; while in Rome the
number was so Insignificant that the
works were never stopped, and no
precautions were considered necessary.

DEADLY MACHINEGUN
A WEAPON WHICH FIRES 1000
CHARGES A MINUTE EASILY.
Particularly Well Adapted for Use ON
shipboard. the Accles Machine Gun L.
Equally Effective with Field, Parapet,
or Embrasure Mountings.
Naval Men Like 1t.


The latest improved type of ma
chine gun is the invention of j. q.
Accles, who for many years was asso-
ciated as practical expert with the
manufacture of the Calling gun.
The navy has ordered one of the
Accles guns, and in case experience
with 1t, under service conditions, Is
satisfactory, orders for others will be
issued at an early date. Lieutenant
Commander Couden, an attache OF
the Bureau of Ordnance, Navy De-
partment, has expressed the opinion
that the Accles invention meets sat-
isfactorily all the requirements of the
naval service, and has fewer defects
than any inventions of the kind
which he has had occasion to exam
inc. Several of these guns have been
purchased by England and other
European powers for use in the mill
tary and naval services.
In general way the Accles gun
resembles the Calling gun. 1t pos
seSses, however, a number Of impor-
tant features which give to its dis
tinctness and increased efficiency.
For general purposes of description
it may be regarded as modified and
improved Calling gun, containing
many of the best elements Of that
weapon, together with notable i'm
provements and new devices, which
go to make it machine gun of much
excellence. BY simple clutch at
the side the firing mechanism can be
thrown in or out of gear iDstantane-
ously, and, secondly, the gunner can
either throw a continuous stream of

Earning a Dollar.

At meeting of the Women's
Auxiliary" in - it was agreed that
every member should contribute a
sum, not less than one dollar, which
she had earned especially for the
purpose. The money was to be
handed in at the next meeting of the
Auxiliary.
The time came, and the contribu
tions were duly turned over to the
treasurer. Some members brought
two or three dollars, and the total
amount was really handsome and
encouraging. Then, of course, the
good women fell to relating their ex
perience in earning the money.
One had done this and another
that; but Mrs. Allen said nothing.
Finally her next neighbor asked:
"How did you earn your contribu-
tion, Mrs. Allen?"
Il got Mr. Allen to give it to me. y
ooh! OH" cried several voices at
once, and young Mrs. Smith said,
"Why, that wasn't according to the
agreement We were to earn the
money ourselves. / shouldn't call it
earning til if / had got my husband
to give it to me-"
perhaps you wouldn't" said Mrs.
Allen. "And then again perhaps you
would, If your husband was like some
folks"
Nothing more was said. Mr.. AL
lens reputation was pretty well
known, and it was tacitly agreed that
Mrs. Allen had lived up to the spirit
of her promise

How Long to MIX Cows.

Ten months Is not too long to keep
cows In the dairy, and in certain cases
even longer The COW that gives
milk five or six months In the year,
and then goes dry until her next
calving, is an Improbable animal,
and the sooner she is disposed of the
better. In training young heifers
with first calves, 1t would be well to
milk them the first year nine months
steadily; milk them IL they only give
one pint of milk at a time during the
latter end of this period. The next
year 1t will be found an easy matter
to keep up far better yield Of milk
to the end Of the nine months The
third year the habit is thoroughly
fixed, and you have persistent
mixer. The cow is largely a Great
ure OF habit, and her usefulness and
profltableness in the dairy depends
largely upon her careful training
from her entrance into milk giving.

Prof. S B. Thompson of the Ne
braska Agricultural College, has been
testing the relative value Of green
food for pigs, and gives 1T as his opin-
ion that green food makes thriftier
and larger hogs Farmers who raise
many pigs and feed them exclusively
on indian corn, know that some of
the shoats will cease to grow at an
early age, begin to lay on fat and
never reach the size OF good mer-
charitable hogs. This tendency to
fatten prematurely at the expense OF
bone growth,is notseen to any extent
in CRASHED hogs. a pig fed on bulky
green food will develop larger
stomach than one fed on concentrated
food like corn; and when you come to
fatten it this enlarged capacity will
enable the animal TO eat and digest
more corn and thus lay on flesh more
quickly than the other and be more
profitable hog to grow for market.
CRASHED hogs are healthier than
those grain fed. Every intelligent
breeder knows the advantage o: feed
ing green food to sows about to far
row. They have less difficulty with
their pigs. are less liable to destroy
them, will give more milk and nurse
them better CRASHED hogs are less
liable to disease. The dreadful hog
cholera is not much to be feared
where hogs have the run Of good
clover pasture Undoubtedly, IL ex-
posed to contagion they would take
the disease, but they are not likely to
develop it.
