HILL DEPENDS TIE NEWSPAPER MEN.


Mr.. Hill appealed from the decision of
the Vice President, and argued that the
Senate had a right to direct the presiding
officer not to proceed further in the mat
ter until after further action of the Sem
ate. The statute in question was loosely
and carelessly drawn, but the Senate had
complete Jurisdiction OF the matter until
the last moment. The Senate might see
fit to direct that the certificate provided
for in the statute should not be trans
mitted to the district attorney. and 1t
had complete jurisdiction over the matter.
lie had no interest, he said, in the in
vestlgation. 1t was proper, though. that
the Senate should investigate the charge
of bribery but the report on that question
had been presented. and that portion or
the work had been substantially COM
pleted. Why does the committee not call
those senators instead of prosecuting these
newspaper correspondents, who do not
pretend that they nave any personal
knowledge OF the subject? Why seek
those correspondents and then Invoke the
power of this great Government to make
them tell the sources of their confidential
information, when the very people about
whom they speak are IN the city OF WASH

po,sopous and HarmIess Snakes.

There is certain physiological diff erence between the poisonous and harm less snakes, which exists very plainly in their manner of dentition. All snakes are objects of aversion and dread to mankind, so much so that to be bitten by snake has at times been so fearful to the victim as to have produced death. although the snake was harmless. Such is the instinctive dread with which these reptiles are thought of that it may be desirable to have some easy mode of distinguishing the one kind from the other. This distinguishing characteris- tic is afforded by the teeth. In all pois- onous snakes there are only two rows of teeth, the fang or fangs being ar ranged either within the two rows or outside of them. The harmless snakes have four distinct rows of teeth. and when the bite shows this kind of wound and not any single deeper or larger puncture there need be no apprehen. sion. .---New York Times,

ammunition. Anen arranged my armory and waited for the boat. It was now close enough to enable me to discern that there was but one man in 1t, a discovery that gave me confidence. With such an arsenal and the natural advantage of my position the deuce was in it if couldn't give good account of myself.
 The man was rowing hard, and the boat came quickly over the sleeping water. When he was within hailing distance, l stepped to the bulwarks and leaned over In the same moment, resting on his oars, he turned to look at me. My first care was to find out whether or not he was one of the crew, but very brief examination sufficed to show that be was not. He began to pull again, and l, thinking my warlike prepara- tions slightly overdone. hastily put my weapons out of sight, reserving just a brace of pistols and dagger to meet emergen- cies.
 My visitor did not come close alongside, but held off little distance, as if doubting the reception he should receive. He was an Arab and showed signs of distress. Row upI'' I called in English, never ex- pecting him to understand that language. "Allah is mercifulr' be responded joyfully in the same tongue, and with two or three vigorous strokes he was alongside. Then for minute or so we silently took stock of each other. l was not enamored of his looks, and perhaps he was just as little in love with mine.
 "YOu seem rather in a bad way" re- marked, speaking first.
 Allah is mighty scourger," he said. with shrug of his tawny shoulders.
 ''So he is" replied. 'How do you come to be alone and in such plight?"
 At this he worked himself into a sudden rage, gesticulating wildly and talking of villains and robbery and outrage. His story was that he had been in command of ship laden with valuable cargo; that the pirates had plundered him, killed his crew, and that it was only by the greatest miracle he had escaped with his life. On my inquiring how he happened to know Eng fish, he replied fawningly that he had learned my beautiful tongue in Egypt and in Africa.
 "An Arab slave dealer," concluded at once. But his distress was evidently great, and I could not do less than take him on board. Praise be to Allah for his merciesW he exclaimed, clutching at the ropes end let down to him.
 He climbed with the agility of a cat, pouring out thanks and blessings, and when he reached the deck he insisted on embracing me in the most fraternal man. her known to his race. He laid his fore head against mine and threw his arm over my shoulder, clasping my side with the other and laying his chin first on my left breast and then on my right, striking my palm with his and giving other novel and embarrassing tokens of esteem and friendship, all the while invoking the choic- est blessings of heaven upon my head. Then he kneeled with his face toward Mecca and repeated the Hizh-el-Bahr, or prayer for safety on the ocean wave. His devotions over, we raised his boat, which was crazy kind of coracle.

GALUSHA A. GROW. good many years he has never lost his interest in public af- fairs and the movements of parties, but has kept his finger on the popular pulse at all times and always stood ready to do active service for his party in time of need.
 Away back in 1850 Mir. Grow was first elected to a seat in congress as the suc- cessor of David Wilmot of ''proviso" fame. Wilmot's course in the house had created dissension in his district, and he voluntarily retired in Grows favor as the best means of restoring har- mony. MT. Grow served 12 consecutive years, being elected by pluralities rang ing from 5000 to 14,000, and was once elected by the unanimous vote of the district, so that Ee came to be called ''Great Majority" Grow. By 8 change in the district in 1869 he was defeated. He was speaker of the house in 1861 and held that office during the first two years of the war. His personal encoun- ter in 1858 with Representative Keith of South Carolina has become historical, though the house took no official notice of it at the time.
 In 1868 he became chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican committee and aided in the election of General Grant as president. In 1871 he was made presi- dent of the Houston and Great Northern railroad of Texas and went there to live for the benefit of his health. In 1872 his sympathies were with the Greeley move ment, though he took no active part in the canvass. In 1875 he returned to the Republican fold and his own state and took in the Hartranft campaign. He worked for Hayes in 1876 in Pennsylva- nia, Ohio and New York. In that year he was to have run for congress, but a combination defeated his nomination. In 1878 he was candidate for the gu bernatorial nomination, but Hoyt was named, and Grow declined the nomina- tion for lieutenant governor. In 1879 he refused the Russian mission rendered to him by President Hayes.
 Mr. Grow was born in Connecticut it. 1924 and removed to Pennsylvania when but 10 years of age. He graduated from Amherst college in 1844 and subsequent ly became lawyer.

Miss Imogen Quincy Mixes Writing Verses
 With Sorting Letters.
 Louise Imogen Quincy, the Boston poet who used to be called "the sunny young Greek" and whose strong verse and scholarly prose have made much fame for her during the past 10 years, has found out, like many another devoted of the gray goose quill, that literature doesn't pay, and feeling the need of a regular income, which her literary work does not afford her, has accepted the postmastership of the town of Auburn dale, just outside the Hub, where he1 home is located. The salary of the office is about $1 800 a year, and Miss Quincy thinks that will just about supply he1 needs and that she can easily do the work and have time enough left for hel literary labors.
 Miss Quincy is 8 fair, pleasant faced woman, with an intellectual air and ath letic tendencies. She rides bicycle, is 8 good fencer, can paddle Q canoe, is g tireless walker and is very fond of thor oughbred dogs. She was born in Boston 31 years ago and was educated at con vent school in Rhode Island. Her first literary venture was volume of verse called Songs at the Start which she

Tall Hats at the Theater.

Said bright young lady who attends frequently strictly first class theaters "I always remove my hat or bonnet in the theater if it is of proportions to in. terfere at all with the view of those sit ting behind me. I certainly think there is great need of reform in this matter of headgear at the playhouses. The mana gers should formulate another rule and strictly enforce it-that big bonnets and hats be left at home or removed at the amusement houses. Other rules are rigidly carried into effect at the theaters and there is no reason why another and one of the most important of all should not find place among them and be as carefully observed.
 "The other evening I leaned forward and asked lady sitting in front of me if she would not remove her headgear, as it interfered seriously with my view of the stage. She gave me a look that was principally one of amazement. When she had partially recovered from her astonishment, she said that her hair was not arranged in way permitting the removal of the article. Of course that is something to be borne in mind by ladies who are inclined to favor this new departure at the amusement places. "- Cincinnati Times-Star,

A singular instance of justice among crows has been related by M. Roux at a meeting of the Societe Vaudoise de Sci ences Naturelles, which is worthy of a place in the intelligence of Animals" by Professor Romanes. The observations were made by M. Addor, notary of Sainte Croix, in France, who saw about 50 crows in solemn contlave in field. At given signal they suddenly flew up, croaking with rage and wheeling around some object, which ultimately fell to the ground and proved to be a dying crow. An examination showed that the offender for such he appears to have been-had been killed by stroke of the beak in the abdomen, and his body bore the marks of about 20 strokes.-London Globe

Kissing.

In the old time men and women who were mere acquaintances exchanged kisses in public, and with certain amount of ceremony, and visitor to whom it was desired to show special civility was always received with a kiss.
 The mode of salutation has changed greatly with the times. Haste and high pressure have contributed to render the form of greeting as brief as possible. Not only have we given up the quaint familiar ways of our ancestors, but we have also parted with much of that elaborate etiquette which in the last century played so large part in social life.
 The changed habits of society, the greater mingling of it's various grades, have brought simplicity into the form of intercourse which strikes oddly upon the senses of people accustomed to old fashioned ceremony. II always kiss the lady's hand when l take my leave of tho hostess after a party, said a German lady, a descendant of one of the oldest families in what used to be called Prussia. She was commenting rather severely on the habits and GUS toms of her adopted country.
 The otfhand manners of girls toward their mothers and of all young people generally toward all older people drew forth her reproduction. Kissing is now confined to state ceremonies and to few old world lovers and gallants who have retained the ways of their great-grandfathers. - Notes and Que ries.
