TWO BOSSES RAN THE HOUSE.
Honey and Garvin Had Everything
Their Own WAY.

Garvin and Honey dominated the ses-
sion of the House today, the former
as an economist and the latter as
constitutional convention advo-
cate. DIR. Garvin has never tackled
kindly to the exorbitant fees paid
TO the Assembly and committee clerks at
the Newport session. and he proposes to
cut them down more than 90 per
cent, and he insists upon actual
attendance at each session. die
introduced another measure which is a
resolution i'm the election of aldermen.
There is TO be no ward designation, the
names of the candidates are printed on
general ticket and the elector can only
vote for one candidate. Later on he may
resurrect his town mayor scheme when
was condemned to deathless ignominy
some years ago. Col. Honey
satisfied that the party has no use for the
present constitution, wants constitu-
tional convention next September, the
delegates to be elected on the basis OF pop
ulation by the United States census OF 1890.
He kindly allots 20 delegates to Providence
instead OF 10 under the old bill, and New
port hasn't suffered by the allotment.
The measure Is likely to pass the House,
but its death. in the Senate is a
fixture. George L. Brown suggested that
the committee on elections employ
clerk. This proposition is suspected to
indicate tnat Hugh Carroll of Pawtucket
wants to unseat Coroner jerks of that
city, and wants to get the
ear of the committee to afford them
enlightenment az 10 the ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain in Sc
curing political preferment in that city.
Ambrose West has paternal interest Ia
school children and he proposes to amend
the law increasing the age FOR compulsory
attendance from TO 4yearS His brother
George started this movement i'm the
school committee meeting the other night
The license commiss toner's of Cumberland
and Providence have completed
their reports, and they are in the custody
OF the House. DIR. Garvin is pushing
the nine-hou bill to passage before
the April election. His committee gives
a public hearing at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, and The chamber will be popu-
lated by labor agitators and the
wage earning classes. The Sem
ate meets again tomorrow, but
it is not likely that that body will devote
much time to legislation, excepting per-
haps the finance committee may report
the appropriation bill. The Democratic
members are likely TO introduce various
amendments to delay its passage, but il a
decision has been reached to enact IL the
minority will have to abide by the
result. They may be presented with
another resolution to meet the House in
grand committee, but IL win either be
laid on the table or referred to the iu-
dietary committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb l.--C. l.. Macarthur,
ex-state senator OF New York, and editor
of the Troy Budget. was before the senate
Hawaiian investigating committee yes
terday. He went TO Honolulu in March
for the purpose of investigating the situa-
tion for himself He told the committee
that he went there prepossessed in favor
OF the queen, but that he came away en-
tirely convinced that the revolution was
justified; that the queen was unfit to rule
the islands, and the men who are at the
head of the provisional government are
capab lie of giving the people a far better
government than they have ever had.
He declared that Commissioner Blount's
report was perversion Of the facts as he
had gathered them. He also pronounced
ss absurd the story OF stevens conspiracy.
Mr. Macarthur criticised Mr. i3lount's
method OF getting information and de
clsred that the most ordinary newspaper
man would have gone into the subject far
more thoroughly.
"As l understand it, he said, "Nir.

STRUCK BY TWO TRAINS.
Thomas NIcKiernan Is Taken to the
Hospital Badly Injured.

Thomas McKiernan, seventeen years OF
age, was struck by the II 80 train from
this city near the Smith street bridge this
morning. The boy was walking
on the track OF the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad and was
just passing under the bridge when he was
struck by the hourly. The train to
the city was passing on the other track,
and McKiernan was thrown against
the side of one OF the
cars. He then fell between the two tracks
and escaped with n severe scalp wound
and several fractured ribs. He was taken
TO the Rhode Island hospital in the ambu-
lance and his injuries received the neces-
sary attention. The boy lives at 26s Plain

His Own ODiniOu.

It is hard for the average man to
understand Of how little importance
ne is in the eyes of others. Even II
ne has done something which makes
everybody talk" the talk is of short
duration, and the subsect is soon su-
perseded by trivial matters in the
takers own province, outside OF
wh .ch he has little real interest II
tempted to be egotistic, it is well to
reflect that no ones interest in you
at all conn ares with that you feel in
yourself. An egotist Is always self
conscious; he imagines everybody is
impressed with his superiority, and
telf, with a capital S, is paramount
This vain belief in their own impor-
tance, which most people cherish, is
not all a sour of unmiXed happi-
ness. 1t will work either way.
There is no commoner form of morbid
misery than that of the poor, neT-
Vous men or women who fancy that
they are the subject Of universal un-
kind remark, or who think everybody
is COnSpiring against them. There
are several ways in which self con-
sciOusness disagreeably evinCes its eX-
istence. One is the manner in which
some people enter church or public
meeting. They walk as if the eyes
Of the whole congregation were burn
ing upon them and pose during ser
mon or lecture for the public eye.
Another form of self lf-consciousness
is awkwardaess and bash1ulness,
which arises not from the sense of
superiority, but from the opposite
cause OF self-depreciation. Many
people are so imbued with their own
imperfectiOns that they imagine
everybody is impressed with the same
idea, aud it makes them i'll at ease
and embarrassed. II they commit
some slight blunder, they are con-
sumed with modification, and in
wardly writhe over it long after the
incident has been forgotten by those
who witnessed it. Self conscious
ness is fault. like everything else,
and 1t Is only when we realize our
own personal insigniticance in this
great big world and forget self and
selfish motives, that we can &C uire
the charm Of naturalness and truly
correct department.

Rapid Reader.

There are some books which require
particular attention from the reader,
but there is a young man in a New
England city who, to judge from bis
own statements, finds nothing to
check the speed with which he reads
even in the most difficult Of books.
Everything IS easy reading TO
me-" he remarked cheerfully to a
friend. Now people call Euclid's
Elements a hard book. I've heard
'em say so. But l don't 1 read it

Think About These.

A certain amount of time anu
thought is due TO every choice that IS
made and every answer that Is given.
How much this shall be is a problem
for each TO solve. Life is too short
and duties are too many TO allow of
DELAY. In numerous petty
matters it is better to be prompt, even
at the risk of occasional mistake, than
10 consume valuable time in debating.
In important matters, where rash and
hasty decisions are of course to be
avoided, it is well to fix a suitable
time for consideration and to abide by
the limits. But it is really far less the
fear of making mistakes than the dis
like of making decisions at all that
leads to this dilatoriness. If the time
thus taken were faithfully devoted to
re5olute thought, leading up to wise
choice, something might be said in its
favor; but this is not the case.
Usually a small portion of it would be
amply sufficient for this purpose,
while the whole of it frequently spent

As he mumbeled rather than spoke,

How Milk Is Analysed,

The chemical analysis Of milk is nol
complicated nor difficult. 4 small
dish is accurately weighed and the
weight noted Into it is now INTRO
duced a small portion of milk, and
both are weighed. BY subtracting
the weight Of the dish from the
weight OF both, the weight OF the
milk is found and carefully recorded.
The dish is placed over 4 steam Jet
and the water of the milk evapOratcs,
leaving a residue. 1t is this residue
which passes under the name of
solids" \ last weighing of the dish
with the milk residue, less the weight
of the dish, gives the solids, and by a
single calculation the percentage is
found.
The solids of milk have been found
by innumerable analyses to average
about l3 per cent, and while the fat
varies in the milk from different cows,
the solids left after extracting the fat
is 4 very constant quantity hardly
ever falling below Q per cent. This
gives the chemist a positive basis for
his calculations, and enables him to
state with great certainty whether OF
not the milk has been watered. The
fat or oil in milk is determined by
dIssolviDg it by means Of ether out OF
total solids, the residue remaining
after the operation being termed
solids, not fat" The average fat or
oil found in cows milk is 3 per cent,
and any amount less than this is com
monty taken as showing that the milk
has been skinned. If analysis shows
a decrease Of fat and solids not Fat.
it is said to be certain that the milk
has been watered, while if the fat
only is low that the milk has been
sliimmed.-IndianapOlis News.
