His First Vote

For the first time since he has ooeupl-
ed the presiding officers chair in the
United States Senate. Adlai Stevenson
has had an opportunity Of voting on
measure before that body As the Vice
President is not Senator, but simply
by virtue Of his office, the presiding Off
Ger Of that body, he has no vote on any
measure save in one contingency where
the Senate is equally divided The con
stitutional provision which gives him
this privilege is one Of doubtful utility.
as there is no good reason why an out
slider should have vote IN the Senate
As it requires a majority to pass meas
ure, tie vote defeats it, for half the
Senate IS net q majority; hence this pro-
vision merely gives the Vice President
power to carry measure, if be sees tt.
In the present case however, his
maiden vote in the Senate can be APP
proved by the people Prior to the
opening Of the Cherokee Strip, the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail
road secured control, from the Indians,
of two town sites 90 their line. The
government laid out Enid and Round
Pond, each distant two or three miles
from the companys sites The railroad
refused to stop its trains at either Enid
or Round Pond, intending thus to
compel the settlers to abandon those
places and buy property in the town
sites it had secured. The bill was to
compel the company to stop its trains at
these two towns. Thu Senate was even
ly divided to y; and the bill
would have been lost had not Adlai
given his vote in its favor.
Suppose, in the vote on the confrma-
ton of Peckham, or some Other appoin-
tee of Cleveland who may be obnoxious
to Senator Hill, the Senate should be
evenly divided, and Adlai have the re-
sponsibil;ty put upon hun of deciding
the matter; what would he do? Would
be avenge himself on Cleveland for the
sights put upon him, or would he weak.
ly yield, and lick the ha I'd that smott

himself immensely popular with his par.
ty by rebuking the despot of the White
House, or would he make bitter enem,

be interesting to have this contingency
happen, in order to find out what nate
rial the Vice President is made.

old shoes to her trunk and white ribbons

In Memory.

HARDINsnURG, KY, Jan. ~, 1885
The rentlcss scavenger, Death" has
been abroad in our land, and among
those who have been called from earth
to view eternity's vast realm, was one,
of whose likeness the poet has said:
"None knew thee, but to love thee,
None named thee, but to praise"
The petted and cherished daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Addison, in the 23d
year OF her life, Susie, as she was famil-
iarly called by her friends, land they
were many,) had been in delicate health
for years, and father, mother and sisters
did all that loving and devoted relatives
could do, to make pleasant and happy
life's transient stay; and ii she were not
a happy and contented girl, it is because
happiness and contentment are not at
tainable during our earthly pilgrimage.
1t had been our wonted lot during the
past two years to meet her frequently at
New Bethel church, of which she was
an attentive member. A smile and
gracious word was her greeting for every
one, and having once felt the influence
OF that smile, it was your desire to meet
the donor again.
Bright, cheerful in disposition, ami
able, beloved by all who knew her, she
moved, glittering star in the armament
OF purity.
We laid her TO rest short distance
from the homes of two loving sisters
who will untiringly and increasingly dec
crate and dedicate to the memory of their
sister, the little mound, under which
rests the earthly remains of the peerless
woman, whose friendship on earth hast
begotten desire to greet her souls smile
in Heaven. A FRIEND.

Illusion, sticking TO their original idea
that it was physically impossible for a
man to cause globe to curve in the
air. But it was done then and it is
now accomplished by thousands Of
pitchers.
Pitching comes natural to some
players just as catching does to others,
out6old work to others and infeld

a successful pitcher man or boy must
have something besides brute force.
The day when speed alone would make
a reputation for a pitcher is past

There is another point in pitching
which beginners should study and that
is the position of the feet asud the

the batsman to see the ball all the
time is at a disadvantage. OF course
the rules win not permit one to hold
the bali behind the back before de-
livering it, as was the case years
ago, but if one is blessed with large
hands, large pals being plentiful in
baseball, it is an easy matter to con-
ceal the ball or practically so.
