lectures on the ears. She says that the ears
should be trained to do something else but
listen. They should learn to hold them

and never flop, that curve prettilyet the top
and never look aggressive. This is all very
nice, but how does it affect our chief bad
habit, that Of curiosity, which men are al

The Washington correspondent Of the

high authority it can be stated that
Senator Vance has filed no charges
against Mr.. Simmons. Yet 1t is known
that he is opposing his confirmation.
This matter of Simmons confirmation
was before the finance committee to-day,
it is said, but to a late hour it cannot be
learned whether q report was made or
not 1t is believed by some unusually
well inform. d North Carolinians, that
Notwithstanding Senator Jones state-
ment TO my congressional informant, that
the power Of Vance will keep the fight
up until he returns from Florida"
In the same correspondence headed
"~iater" there is the following Senator
Jones made a strong report from the
sub committee Of the finance committee
in favor Of confirming Simmons, where
upon Senator Voorhees,, chairman of the
committee, read a telegram from Senat"r
Vance requesting delay. In Difference
to Vance the matter was postponed;
otherwise the nomination would have
been confirmed, as stated last week"
