messengers awaited her in the long,
unlotty room, separated only by fold

alone, in her nightdress, with some
loose wrap thrown about her. The
moment she was addressed as "Your

lief of Thomas B. Reed.
THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
AyJe's Hawiian resolution which came
over from yesterday, was considered
again for half an hour in the senate
today, but no action was taken. Sen
ator Kyle asked for a vote on the reso-
luton, but Senator Gray Of New Jer.
'sey held that if vote was to be had
on the resolution relating to hawaii,
1t should be on the one which Senator
Turpie had reported from the commit
tee on foreign relations. That resolu-
ton had been carefully considered
and had been debated at length in
the senate. He moved TO substitute
that resolution for the one offered by
Senator Kyle. Discussion of the
merits of the two resolutions occupied
the time of the senate until the hour
for consideration of the tariff bill ar
rived.
Senator Harris insisted upon the
regular order. The tariff bill accord
ingly was laid before the senate.
Senator Frye, Republican, Maine,
protested against cutting off action on
the Hawaiian resolution. 1t was of
supreme importance to the Hawaiian
islands that the senate should take
some action. Yet for three months
the senate had dallied in manner
that was utterly inexcusG6le and the
people of Hawaii were on a pivot.
The action of the senate might send
them forward or backward He asked
unanimous consent that the resolu-
tions should re voted on without de-
bate tomorrow. Senator Turpie OBJ

his request and asked that they be

tween Senator Hoar and Senator Har-

continue the debate. He said it was

What Becomes of the old directories.

hhat becomes OF Jhe OlO directories.
Every year thousands of new direc.
tories are issued, but what becomes OF
the old ones? This question very sci.
dom occurs to the mind of the public,
and yet it is evident that the thou.
sands of old directories which are dis.
placed by new ones every year must gG
some place. In the first place some OF
the old books are not displaced at all,
but are kept by their owners until
they fall to pieces, when they are
burned. Many of the directories are
so racked up at the end of the year
that they are not fit for further use,
and a great number of these are sold
as old paper and manufactured into
cloth. Then a large number of them
are sold to secondhand book dealers
for prices ranging from twenty five
cents to one dollar, and are in turn
sold by them to people who do not
feel like paying for new directory,
but do not begrudge a dollar or so for
one year old. Many more of the old
directories are sold directly by the
owners to other men for about one dol
lar. Many men take the new direc-
tory every year and also keep their old
ones, and in some places ,ot business
may be seen a collection of directories
dating back for six or eight years.
Thus are the directories kept in circu-
lation until they wear out and thrown
away or sold for old paper. Toronto
