Table Manners in Argentina.

"We encamped near a swamp" says
a gentleman describing meal he had
with some cart drivers in South Amer
lea, 'and supped on sliced pumpkins,
boiled with bits of meat and seasoned
with salt The meal was served in
genuine pampa fashion. One iron
spoon and two cows horns, split in
halves, were passed around the group,
the members of which squatted upon
their launches and freely helped
themselves from the kettle. Even in
this most uncivilized form of satisfy
ing hunger there is a peculiar ETH
quette which the most lowly person
invariably observes. Each member of
the company in turn dips his spoon or
horn, into the center of the stew and
draws it in a direct line towards him,
never allowing it to deviate to the
right or left. By observing this rule
each person eats without interfering
with his neighbor. Being ignorant of
this custom dipped my horn into the
mess at random and fished about for
some nice bits. My companions re-
garded this horrid breach of politeness
with scowls of impatience. They de-
clared, with some warmth, to the cook
the foreigners did not know how to
eat. l apologized as well as l could,
and endeavored thereafter to eat ac-
cording to gaucho etiquette.-N. y.

THE PRESIDENTS CONSIST
ENCY.

Mr.. Cleveland has been in fight
against leading Democrats Of Ne"
York during his whole adminisJra'
ton, and while their action against
the administration bitterly exhibited
on every issue, is condoned by many
Democrats outside of the state OF New
York, these same Democrats seem to
hold Mr.. Cleveland responsible
for a schism in the party in that state
Senator Hill and his personal psrIl-
zans in New York have made war, IN
cessant and continuous, upon Mr'
Cleveland's administration, and 1t Is
reasonable to find that Mr.. Cleveland
does not cSnsult Mr.. Hill and his
friends in his appointments. Certain
ly there are no reasonable objections
to Judge Peckham's confirmation for
associate justice Of the supreme court
He il an able lawyer, a man OF the
highest integrity and pureness OF life,
but Notwithstanding all this Senator
Hill makes a fight against his con-
firmation because he has opposed
Hill and TammaDy's corrupt methods
in that state.
Judge Peck ham is known through
out the state of New York a5 bold
and fearless advocate Of reform in
politics. Senator Hill dOee not see ID
ia that way, as the adoption of reform
measures would weaken his hold on
the Democracy Of the state, ana SEN
ator Hill is for himself fret, last and
all the time.
Like Caesar when he paused on the
banks of the RubicOn and weighed
in the scales self and country, self
predOminated, the Rubicon was
crossed and Rome az free no more,
Senator Fill has weighed in the
scales self and Democracy, self pre-
pOnderated and he is using
all his power to defeat
the measures adopted by |
q Democratic administration to re-
leve the country of the oppressive
burdens lai1 upon its shoulders bya
long time of Republican misrule.
Mr.. Cleveland is right in fighting
Hill and all his cohorts with all the
weapons he finds at hand, and the
of the administration over it's
New York enemies will be as great
victory as Mr.. Cleveland gained over
the cohorts of the Republican PARTY.
Mr.. Cleveland in opposing Mr.. Hill
or rather in defending himself and a
Democratic administration against
the attacks of Senator Hill and his
followers deserves the highes COM
and is entitled to the most
support of the Demo-
craCy of the whole country.

being debated He did not suppose
that the answ er would have had any
effect on the debate, and the delay in
procuring the information requested
by it, he presumed, subserved the
same public policy which for days
and weeks had kept congress waiting
for Dole's reply to Willis, which had
at last reached the people through the
public press this morning.
Mr. Cummings then demanded the
previous question which was ordered
and the resolution as amended adopt
ed without division. Mr.. Bland was
then recognized. All suggestions for
closing the debate on the seigniorage
bill by unanimous vote having failed,
hn ri n 20, T.
moved to go into committee of the
Whole and pending that motion
moved that all general debate on the
measure close at O'Clock. On that
motion he demanded the previous
question.
" essrs. Cannon, Hopkins and Reed
appealed to him for more time to Ie-
climate debate, but Mr. Bland was
obdurate- He was perfectly willing,
ne said, to set any reasonable
limit to debate if the oppo-
nents of the bill would agree
to it but they had already
tilibustered away two days and he
was admonished that obstructive tao
tics would be resorted to at every
stage OF parliamentary procedure
hereafter.
MT. Reed replied that there was no
reason why the opposition to the bill
should be bound over to keep the
peace in order to get an opportunity
to close the debate. Thereupon Mr..
Bland insisted upon his motion and
demand for the previous question. On
a rising vote, the Republicans and OPP
position Democrats declined to vote,
and when the result was announced
80 to nothing, Mr.. Tracy made the
point of no quorum. Ayes and nays
were demanded. 1t was very ap-
parent from the outset that Mr.. Bland
would be unable to gel quorum to-
day. The vote resulted "a less
than a quorum. Mr.. Bland moved
a call of the house. This call devel-
oped the presence of 298 members, and
again the vote required on Mr..
BANDS motion which again failed for
lack of a quorum. Another call of the
house followed, succeeded by another
roll call on Mr.. BANDS motion. The
roll call resulted 1853 to 2. Mr.. Bland
thereupon moved to adjourn. On q
rising vote the house tied. Mr..
Dockery in the chair cast the deciding
vote against the motion, and then, by
unanimous consent, at Ais the house
took recess until 8 o'clock.

MRS. MARY f.. LEASE is leCtnring
on the subject, When Justice is Ad-
ministered d, There Will be no Need TO
Administer Charity. 1t is a catchy
heading and sounds well, but it won't
stand washing. Justice, which con.
sists in giving every man what he is
justly entitled to, will never keep
some men from getting into trouble,
falling i'll, breaking a limb, or other
wise becoming disabled so as to need
assistance. Then charity is called for
and Mrs. LOase's pretty motto is all
shreds. Fort Worth Gazette.
Mr. Senter frequently goes Off half
cooked. 10 does it by writing down
the first ideas that pass throul his
thinking apparatus. Now if he had
only thought twice of that last para
graph he would have concluded that
even charity could play the role of
Justice. Charity is justice to the un.
fortunate, and don't J on forget it.

RoGUEs DREAD THE CAMERA.

The Capture of Criminals Made Easy by
Means of Photographs.
The greatest aid that the thief taker
of to-day has in his possession is the
photograph The thief and outlaw
dread the photograph above all things.
The long immunity from arrest of
Frank and Jesse James was due to the
fact that no pictures of them had ever
been taken They were thus enabled
to walk the streets of Kansas City and
st. Louis, to attend theaters, play faro
In crowded banks, loll around the ro-
tunda of the Planters hotel and attend
the race meetings of the west. The
vanity of the wild western train rob-
bers, bank holdups and horse thieves
has, in scores of instances, led them to
pose before the camera of the travelling
tintype artist. After that capture was
easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe
their capture to this weakness. But
the high-class crook never has a pict-
ure taken unless it is taken BY force
and by police officers A glance at the
rogues' gallery on the walls of the
chief of detectives Office will show
hundred instances of where men have
fought desperately against the process.
All this amounts to nothing. No man
can distort his face so as not to leave a
recognizable feature. He cannot
change the shape of his nose, his
chin, his ears or the general outline
of his head. The ear is partially val
able feature in Identification. No two
men in the world have ears exactly
alike. The construction will differ,
and the general expression of the ear
has an individuality of it's own. One
pair of ears will stand out from the
head like wings; another pair will lay
close to the skull as if pinned there. 1t
will be noticed that the subject is al
ways posed as to bring in the ears.
Police prefer view of the face and
head, the larger the better to full
length view. Where there are pecu-
liarities of carriage or eccen tricities of
form, such as short legs, long legs, long
body, long apelike arms of peculiar
SLOUGH, additional pictures are taken,
but as rule these matters are left to
the descriptive circular.
A criminal once in the tolls and pho
tographed for police purposes may
count his career practically ended.
Every police and detective agency in
the country and every penitentiary
warden or prison governor are supplied
with copy of it. He is taken in on
suspicion on the strength of his feat
tufes made familiar. His alias is swept
away by comparison with it and the
details that accompany it. The search
for a fugitive is continued into the
prisons of the country. 1t is a very
common thing for criminals who are
hard pressed for the commission of a
capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the
murderer of officer Doran, did-commit
burglary or some minor crime and
get put away for few years in prison.
Many man has eluded pursuit when
capture meant death by this ruse, but
the photograph has reduced the success
of this plan to the minimum. All mem
bers of the detective force are required
to study the faces of the criminals sent
in by circular.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

the cause of the imperial taking off,
but tradition has it So and hence the

popularity of theirs, which the others
do not have, is that they are peaceful
in a mans waking hours. They betake
themselves during that time to the
organs deep within the body, sleep and
keep quiet. But when the victim re-
clines upon his weary couch they begin
their unearthly racket and their run
nings to and fro through the veins and
arteries make life torture.
DIR. Stiles says that numerous cases
of this evil have been reported from
Washington and vicinity. Men from
Virginia and West Virginia have been
laid low with it. There is no question
but what the colored people brought
it from Africa, which was probably it's
home.
The life history of the affection is
somewhat like that of the other ills

ease is then in a fair way to take it's
course. -Washington Post.
