Quiet Day In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The shadow of
death hanging over the senate was referred
to in the chaplain's prayer when he prayed
for the recovery of Senator Colquitt of
Georgia. The days proceedings were very
tame and uninteresting, being confined
chiefly to the passage of unimportant bills.
The senate took up the unfinished bust
ness, which was the bill to simplify the
form of deeds of conveyance and trust and
releases of land in the District of Column
bia, and after debating it for an hour with
out result it went into executive session
and adjourned early.

quits condition is about the same. The

Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1894-03-22

The prevailing sentiments contained In
these appeals are the expression of an ap-
prehensiOn that should the bill become a
law there would result a loss of confidence
in the credit of the government, a fear that
the gold would be drained from the treas
ury and feeling that the government
would be unable to maintain the parity
between gold and silver, thus placing it's
financial status ON the same footing with
Mexico, the South American repu blics and
India.
The president is carefully listening to
the arguments, political and otherwise adj
dressed to him respecting the seigniorage
bill. The best information obtainable is
that he has not yet made up his mind what
action to take, so that no one can state
what he will or will not do.
Messrs. Tracey, Dunphy and other anti
silver congressman say they believe the
bill will be vetoed. On the other hand,
the Democratic senators who voted for the
bill are generally very hopeful that the
president will sign it. The message which
the president sent to the New York dele
cation advising them not to come to Wash
ington, they think, indicates that he has
decided to approve the bill and does not
consider it necessary to consume time in
arguing the point-a view quite different
from that of the New Workers themselves.
The president has until the 30th to decide
what he shall do with the bill.

confined to senators and representatives,
for he is in receipt of letters and kilograms
from all sections of the country upon the
subject, and, contrary to the belief that
seems to prevail, very large majority of
these communications urge him to exer-

emphatic of the letters in the urgency
for veto are from Baltimore, New Orle-

other southern cities, and they represent
boards of trade and leading business men.

A We'll Trained Girl.

THE Princess of Wales like every other
right minded English lady at the head of
household, has diligently taken her fam
lily to church-at Sandringham to the par
ish church; in Condor, not only to the
Chapel Royal, St James, but also to Berke-
ley chapel, Mayfair, of which the Rev
Teignmouth Shore is the incumbent, and
it was he who was selected to instruct the
princesses in the principles of the Chris
tan religion. Much attention has always
been paid to the physical development of
the older girls. They can fence and gen
orally make use of the muscles of their
healthy, well grown frames. They also
enjoy a romp among themselves and are
not ignorant of the pleasures of a bolster
fight in the seclusion of the bedroom they
have till recently shared together-at all
events in Marlborough house.
They thoroughly enjoy country life,
and, like their mother, have the cool hands
that can make firm butter, which they
have continually done in the dairy at San
dringham home farm, where the Princess
of Wales has her pet Attorneys and all the
daintiest dairy furniture her heart can de
sire.
The walls are tiled with exquisite pea
cock blue Indian tiles, the churn is silver,
and the milkpans are also of that precious
metal, lined with porcelain, while tall
mil jug painted to match the thing by the
Marchioness of Lorne is in constant use.
Under the same roof with the dairy is a
tearoom, with cool, dull green paper on
the walls and matted floor. 1t is fur
nished with light carved oak, and all the
ornaments have been put up by the house
proud princess herself. Here in fine
weather come mother and daughters, who
make their own butter. and spread their
own bread and butter. and have their tea
often in the company of few friends. All
the three princcsse> ar very fond of ami
mails and of flowers TAX" almost as
much interest in Tia \ ;r.lrn garden at
Sandringham AZ in { ~. ,t.Ae? beds. They

Leather Like Velvet.

The manufacture of leather is reach
ing what must be almost the highest
perfection of the art. A new process
has recently been patented in France for
the production of leather which both
to the touch and eye has striking re-
semblance to velvet. feathers of this
description hitherto manufactured have
been obtained by treatment Of the flesh
side of the hide or skin. The flesh side
of the skin being always coarse, the
patentees claim now to secure better
results by treating the hair side. They
scratch or rub the hair side with rub
Der of strong erosive qualities, or with
emery or glass, when working small
surfaces, and use grindstone for heav-
Ter work. In this manner downy nap
is brought out which they throw and
lay in different directions, thereby
bringing out varied designs of changing
hue and appearance. The velvety sur
face produced is said to be similar to the
down of peach skin. The fiber is very
fine, soft to the touch and has all the
appearance of silk velvet shorn very
close. Shoe and Leather Gazette.
