DOES SHE WANT ANY MoREp

She's got the right to handle broom,
And why does she want any more?
She may wash the dishes till day of doom.
And why does she want any more9
She's got the right to cook and to scrub,
To play the piano, or rub-a-dub-dub
In lowlier sphere, atthe laundry tub
And why does she want any more?
She's got the right to teach and to sew,
And why does she want any more?
she's only two-thirds of a teacher though.
And she mustn't ask any more.)
She may rock the cradle and mend the hose.
And solace her mind with dreams of clothes;
Or else to the woman's Page she goes
And how can she want any more?
She's got the right to a clerks employ
And how can she ask any more?
To take the place of a younger boy
She mustn't ask any more.
The right to labor as hard as she can,
Wherever they cannot afford a man,
And to get her pay on the half-rate plan.
She mustn't ask any more.
She's got the right to students hat;
Now, how can she want any more?
Dub souepouy nhu 70 nBut lor tndtt
And she mustn't want any more.
She's got the right to choice of schools,
And to quite a respectable lot of tools.
Such as have never been used by fools
She cannot want any more.
She's got the rig hit to a soul-oh, yes!
And why does she want any morel
The right to be pious for two. guess.
Could any one ask for more?
She may hear the brethren preach and pray.
She may serve the Lord in quiet way,
With schemes for raising the Parsons pay
Aid why does she want any more?
She's got the right to be taxed-or hung
And nobody can have more
She isn't forbidden to use her tongue;
And she never can want any more.
And she has her representative now,
A piece of a man-somewhere, somehow
Mixed up in all the political row
And how can she want any more?

Senators Who Will Not BE Patd-why
They Arc Cut Out.

Senators Who Will Not BE Paid-why
They Arc Cut Out.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 30.-The
three new senators who will be elected
to fill the vacancies in the states oi
Wyoming, Washington and Montana
will probably not be paid the back sal.
aries which have heretofore been paid
to senators elected or appointed to ill
vacancies.
They were cut out by an express pro.
vision in the legislative appropriation
bill Of the last session which, it is be-
lieved, will put an end to this practice
for the future. Under the system
which has prevailed heretofore each
man chosen would have received the
pay for the entire term OF six years,
Notwithstanding two years OF the time
has already elapsed. The new pro-
vision will therefore work saving to
the government OF $4,000 in this in.
stance and OF larger sums in the future.
The new law provides that the salaries
of senators shall begin on the date oi
their election or appointment.

MURDER MYSTERY
Revealed by tho Confession OF Segr

Revealed by tho Confession OF n Negro
Arreated In this State.
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. SO.-William, alias
Jacob Taylor, the negro arrested in
West Virginia for the murder OF Isaac
Yoakim, and brought back to this city
by Detective Mahoney, made a con-
fession to Chief OF Police Pagels. lie
said that tho blow which crushed
Yoakim's skull was struck by another
coIored man, named Jacob Howell, and
that he and Howell divided the money
taken from YoaEim's body:
The police put no faith in the story,
but have arrested Howell. It was from
the latter that tho police first obtained
their clew as to the identity OF the muir
dorer. Howell said that at Taylor's re-
Quest he had walked into Columbus
from Worthington with the latter and
that TAYLOR had considerable money
and said he was going TO Virginia.
Howell made no attempt to got away,
and was foCnd at mis- work, Chopplng

knowledge OF the crime, or that he had
nny participation in it or the proceeds
OF tho robbery.
Mrs. Yoakim, when she found tho
body OF her husband, saw man run
ming away in the dusk.
these facts lead the police to believe
that Taylor committoi the crime unas'

ICE IN FLORIDA
And a Great Portion of the Orange and
Vegetable Crops RuIned.


Vegetable Crops Ruined.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 3O.-Reports
by wire from ffty.one correspondents
in the range districts OF the sta,e indi-
cate that at least 100000 Of unpicked
oranges are solid globes OF ice and more
than 5000 boxes of oranges in ware
houses, or lying in bulk, preparatory to
picking, are frozen. Tomatoes, cabbage.
beans, peas and all vegetables in the
northern half Of the state are ruined ex.
cept the pineapple plantations, which
are not much injured.
Day before yesterday half Of this sea.
sons orange crop was still on the trees.
The tail OF the northern blizzard
switched around through the Florida
peninsula and within the space Of a
few hours Florida had sustained loss
that il estimated in money would reach
into the millions. The destruction will
be felt for many years, directly or indi-
rectly, by all the people OF the state.
Previous to this time the coldest wealth
or known was in 1885, but there is no
record to chow just how cold it was
then.
Reports from the interior OF the state
show that the cold weather has been
general and has extended from one end
OF the peninsula to tho other. The
lowest temperature at Tama was IS and
the same was reported at TtusviIIe; at
Cedar Key it was said to be aI low as
16 and at Key West it was down to A.
Tho cold weather played havoc with
plumbing and water pipes were frozen.
The occurrence was 80 unusual that 1t
was some time before the residents
could realize that water had actually
frozen in the pipes.
There was no ice on the river front,
as was the case in 1885, but this was
doubtless due to the wind. There was
ice in shallow places, however, and
there were Icicles everywhere. The
weather has moderated and the cold
spell Is now broken. At o'clock to-
night the temperature was 40.

EoREIGN STAMPS.
They Can No Longer BE Printed In Th
Country for Stamp Collectors.

They Cau No Longer BE Printed In This
Country for Stamp Collectors.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S0.-The
opinion OF the solicitor Of the treasury
to the effect that it is unlawful to have
in possession or use plates for the print
ing Of postage stamps in the similtude
OF those issued by foreign governments,
will be acted upon at once. It is stated
by the chief OF the secret service that
so.called stamp albums now on hand
by publishers and dealers containing
these prints will not be cOnfscated, but
no more will be allowed to be printed.
The cuts, plates, &C., from which they
are printed will be seized If not sur
rendered. 1t is an astonishing fact that
the penalty imposed by law for the
counterieiting Of foreign stamps is much
more severe than for counterfeiting
United States stamps. In the case OF
foreign stamps the penalty is not less
than two nor more than ten years im.
prisonment, or both. Thus a court
might impose fine OF 81 or one days
imprisonment for the violations Of our
own law and come within the law, while
the minimum penalty as to foreign
stamps is two years imprisonment.

There wore probably l25 people in the

were tramplGd under and forced 10
their doom by the frantic people seek
ing to effect their escape from the hor-
rible death that awaited them.
Many leaped for life from the win
dows, receiving serious IL not fatal in
juries. Others were dragged out more
dead than alive.
Later reports may be even more fear
fnl than those at hand, which state that
IL persons were burned t0 death and
five others mortally injured.
Silver Lake is a small town contain
ing about five business houses and a
few dwellings. 1t is prosperous settle-
ment OF farmers and stockmen.
Physicians from Lakeview and Pals
