In the meantime, policy holders were hold
ing public meetings in Newark, and delega-
tions Of them were calling upon their repre-
sentatives beseeching them to pass the BILL
Never before had the people. whom the Re-
publieans have been pining away all winter
to serve, made their wants ana wishes known
moro forcibly or Enthusiastically.
But this Legislature had no use for the
people after election. It was corporation
body pure and simple, and the people had no
rights whatever which the legislators were
bound to respect, when they confiicted with
the greed of the big chartered companies.
So the prayers and petitions of the dear peo-
pie had about as much effect upon the Re
publican Senate as water upon the solid
rock, and the bill will remain in exile
Finally, Senator Hinchlitfe one of sthose
wicked democrats, who are always tramp
ling the rights of the dear people as deep in
the mire as is possible to get them and CON
stantly increasing the burdens of the tax
payers by vicious legislation undertook to
get the bill out of committee He offer

in the House that The committee is relieved
from further consideration of the bill. 1t
was known that President Rogers was hostile
to the measure, and some anxiety was ex
pressed as to the manner in which he would
get out of the situation. He appeared equal
to the occasion and promptly ruled that
there was no provision in the rules of the
Senate for such resolution as Mr.. Hinch-
life proposed, and he would have to declare
it out of order 1t il SAID that he was in
debted to the Honorable Robert Adrain of
Middlesex for that valuable hint which is in
the linz of the Honorable Roberts famous
ruling during the race track controversy
last year When motion was made to give
the people hearing on the race track BILL
Robert promptly ruled the motion out of
order on the ground that there was no pre-
cedent for such resolution.
Senator Hinchlitfe fought hard for the
BILL but to no purpose. The corporation
collar was securely fastened around Mr.
Rogers neck, and those who held the lash
kept him well in hand He could not be
gotten in any way to change his decision,
and once again the peoples rights We're ruth
lessly thrust aside by the hypocrites who
pretend to guard them SO jealously.

A Fatal Mexican superstition

The poor and ignorant class of Mexi
cans have an uncanny religious supersti-
uon about smallpox. On a receut visit
to the interior Of Mexico l saw mothers
carrying around in their arms babies
whose little bodies were almost eaten IN
by smallpox. | was, of course, shock ed
at the Irlghtiul spectacle, and even offered
one deIuded mother money if she would
take her terribly afflicted child home
and call in physician to attend it, But
she refused my protfer with scorn, and
began tc Groom some weird incarnation as
she tenderly caressed the little half-clad
sufferer in her arms. / atterward learned
that the Ignorant class OF Mexicans con-
slider an outbreak of the red pest in their
miserable novels a visitation of divine
wrath for some sin they have committed.
so set are they in their belief
that they will do nothing whatever to
check the ravages of the disease,
except when it attacks their infants
to take the victims in their arms, press
them closely to their breasts and pray
devoutly and continuously to God to for
give them for their wickedness. Of
course the smallpox runs its course after
a while, though never before claiming
several members OF every family as VIC
TINS, but not until 1t does are the afflicted
parents purged of their sins.-New Or

Adoption Among Birds.

Modern scientific research undoubtedly
tends to place the ethics of bird life on q
higher and higher level. Even the
cuckoo, against whom so much has been
written, is now cknowledged to have
been maligned when it was universally
affirmed by ornithOlogists that it dis
plays in its tenderest stage of develop
ment the odious faculty OF ejecting its
lawful occupants from the stolen nest. in
which it has been placed. The Bisnop
OF Newcastle has now made himself re-
sponslble for touching little anecdote.
Not long ago, says Dr. Wilberforce, there
was Frenchman who had a large family.
and who was haunted by the idea that
when he died there would be no one TO
look after his children. While thinking
OF this one spring day, he noticed two
nests In hedge close by each other.
Each contained halt-tledged birds, whose
parents Were lying dead. lie went away
sad, thinking that the young birds must
die. w hat was his surprise, however. a
lew days after, to see them quite happv
and apparently well fed. He stood apart
and watched and presently he saw the
parent birds of other nests come to the
young birds and feed them. They had
adopted the little orphans, a fact which
the trenchman naturally took as a good
omen with regard to his own little ones

Animals With Human Voices.

A species of crow in India has a note
which exactly resemb bies the human voice
in loud laughing.
The laughing jackass. when warning
his feathered mates that day break is AT
hand, utters cry resembling u croup of
boys shouting, whooping and laug hing in
a wild chorus.
The nighljay has voice like one la
menting in distress.
Among birds that have the power of
imitation, the parrot is the best: bat as a
matter Of TACT, its voice is decidedly in
terior to that of the mino, q species of
Startling. Curiously enough the male
bird speaks in u high, clear tone like that
Of a child, while the female has a gruff
voice.
Another bird, the morepork of Aus
tralia, is frequently heard vehemently
demanding more pork, in clear, STEM
torian voice.
The whIppor twill also demands his pun
iShment III distinct imitation of the hui
man voice. and the command of the
guinea fowl to come back could easily be
mistaken for human voice.
Coming To quadrupeds. the cries of
none approach more closely that of the
human voice than those of seals when
lamenting the loss or capture of their
young.
The cry of a wounded hare rese IN bles

She Had an Extremely Trying Pose,

Good artists models are unusually
plentiful i'll New York this summer,
and the studios of the better known
painters are flooded with applicants who
want TO pose. majority OF these are
not professional models, but theatrical

not only pose well and with great pa
tience, but there is found among them, so
painters say, greater variety OF peculiar
types Of faces and figures than IN any
other profession. In the matter OF pecul-
lar and unusual muscular development
especially, the "knOckabout' actors and
variety performers are valuable. The
women, however, have not the courage
Of their convictions, as have the pro-
fessional models, and decline in almost
all cases to pose Tor the ''altogether."
The most remarkable thing about these
theatrical DoSerS is the ease with which
they assume difficult attitudes and tue
patience with which they preserve them.

self-condemnation, as he saw by his

He went over and lifted the girl, who
stirred, looked around in puzzled way,
stretched herself and said:

How on earth came you asleep all

amazed artist.

a CHEAPER LOAF DEMANDED.
Oakland Tribune.l

Flour is cheap and bread is dear. Labor
is also cheaper now than it has ever been
before in this State. Rents are also
down, and horsefesh is also a drug i'm
the market. For all that the price of a
loaf and The weight thereof are the same
as when flour was dear and rents and
labor and horsetesh We're high. The
bakers wagon still delivers twelve
ounce loaf. The price remains at cents.
IN almost every other part OF the United
States the weight of the poor mans loaf
has been increased and the cost of it has
been reduced in correspondence with the
fall in the market price of flour. Why
should it not be SO in this State where
the wheat is grown and the grain ground?
If the bakers do not voluntarily reduce
the price of the poor mans loaf and give
him sixteen ounces to the pound in its
weight, 1t Will be tie manifest duty of
Legislature to protect the poor mans in
terest by passing such laws as will
merit the necessities of the case, and At
tach such penalties to them as will en-
force their obedience. The pressing de-
mand of the day is for a larger and
cheaper loaf, and it will be well for the
bakers to heed il.
