Her Pen Laid Aside.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Philadelphia Times.
A few weeks ago the famous
novelist, Mrs. f. d. f. n. South
worth, celebrated her 18th birth
day, and it is hardly likely that
she, whose pen has amused for
near half century, will ever write
another book. Eighty novels have
sprung forth from her prolific pen,
and all written by her own
hand, as she was never able to die
tate to an amanuensis. Her writing
is still full, strong and clear, indiCa-
tive of a broad mind and generous
character. For 30 years she wrote
for Robert BOnner's Ledger. "Ish-
maeI."published in 1868, she consid-
ers her best novel Prospect Cottage,
the home of the aged writer, is a
small frame house in Georgetown,
perched high on the brow of hill
Overhanging the river. 1t is quaint
and old, wearing a neglected air of
old fashioned gentility with its
little wooden gate, half broken off,
and the low porch covered with
vines. Below sweeps the broad sill
very course of river, sweeping
over broken reefs of jagged rocks,
and across are the Virginia hills,
sometimes green with the breath
of spring or white-rObed in snowy
garments. And here, in her declin-
ing years, she can watch the sun
set over the waters and dream of
her youth and fame, now almost
forgotten.

Less Than His Heaviest.

NEW 1 VI N GUN.
1t was after the regular enter
tainment at the "last Saturday
night of the Lotos club, and
everybody had adjourned to the
cafe and billiard room. The very
strong guest was playing billiards
with the clubs expert and the
others crowded around to watch
him and admire his muscular
development. The very fat guest
was loud in his expressions Of en-
thusiasm. The strong man looked
up, saying, GLOW much do you
weigh"
"Two hun'er'n forty" replied the
fat guest.
The strong man stopped over and
put the back of his right hand
down on the floor.
"Put your foot on that" he said
to the very fat guest. Stand on it,"
The very fat guest managed to
do as the strong man said. Every
one in the room was holding his
breath and watching. The strong
man stood up and with a quick
motion held the very fat guest out
at arms length and then set him
down on the floor again.
"BjOve," said the very fat guest,

WORTH COURT-MARTIAL.
The Majors Defense Based on Lincoln's
Sunday Work Order.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 13.-The court-mar-
tial of Maj. William Worth, of the De-
partment of the Platte, began at Fort
Omaha this morning. He was accused of
ordering private Cedarquist to rifle practice
on Sunday. Court was convened and the
charge and specification read, to which
Major Worth pleaded not guilty. The
court was composed almost entirely of old
veterans, who have seen more or less
hardshipS and actual fighting service. Mai.
Worth admitted that the men were ordered
point was introduced. He explained, how
ever, that he thought a state of war ex-
listed, as the troops were expecting to be
called to Chicago daily. AS Lincoln's order
against Sunday work applied to times of
peace, 1T was suspended, the defense ar
gued, at this period. The case rested here.
The prosecution argued that the rule was
not suspended. as war did not exist. The
attorney for the defense went on to show
that Lincoln'S orders were not in force,
and introduced the laws of the army, pub
lished by Secretary of War Endicott in
February, 1889, which are prefaced by the
statement that these are all the laws of
the army. These rules do not mention
President LncOlnS order of 1852 regarding
work and military practice on Sunday. 1t
was further held that the order of Presi-
tion abrogated and rendered null President
LiDcoln's order Judge Advocate Baird
completed the argument. He contended
that ii was an eXcusable violation of army
ethics and law, and in no wise a military
necessity. Many ministers were present AT
the trial, and several church societies had
attorneys present in the interest of Cedar
quist, but they were not allowed to speak.

BL00DLESS FIGHT.
Corbett and Jackson Call Each Other
Buffers and Declare Their Match of.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-There will be no
fight between Corbett and Jackson The
two heavy-weights met this afternoon and
called each other buffers and finally de-
clared all negotiations looking toward a
meeting between the two off. The two men
met at Jackson's room in the Grand Union
Hotel, Corbett going there. accompanied by
Manager Brady, upon receipt of word from
Jackson that he could not meet the cham
pion until tomorrow. The request for de-
lay angered Corbett, and he proceeded at
once TO Jacksons room. Crossing the room
20 where Jackson was sitting, Corbett said
to him:
81 want to fight you. Come. now. get
down to business"
It's about time you did," replied Jack
son.
This angered Corbett, and each called the
other buffers"
II am too much of a gentleman to call
you a liar, said Corbett when Jackson
said he did not want to fight Then each
called the other more names. Jackson posi-
lively refused to fight in the South, and
Corbett offered TO fight him TO a finish be-
fore the National Club in England. Jack
son said they would be permitted to fight
only twenty rounds there. and refused
Finally, they could not agree on any place
in the North where they could fight, and
began again TO call each other buffers
They declared everything off. and, shaking
hands, Corbett left the hotel.

REVIEW OF THE DAY.
The Debate i'm the House and Vote on
the Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-The long
struggle over the tariff bill came to a
close at 6 O'Clock this evening, when the
House, by a vote of 1S2 to los, decided to
discharge the House conferees from further
consideration of the bill, recede from it's
opposition to the 63i Senate amendments
and agree to the same. II was a complete
victory for the Senate. The House made
an absolute surrender. The result grew
directly out of the sensational course of
events at the Senate end of the Capitol,
precipitated by Senator Hill on Friday.
Up to that time the House conferees had
stood firm against the Senate amendments,
especially on the three disputed schedules
of coal, iron ore and sugar, and the temper
and voice of the House was for war-war
TO the end But the indications that the
Democrats OF the Senate might be unable
TO longer hold a majority OF the votes in
line for even the Senate bill and that the
bill was in desperate jeopardy. forced the
House Democrats to immediate action.
The Democratic conferees of the House at
last admitted that they were beaten, and
that another vote could not be risked in
the Senate: that it must be either the Sem
ate bill or no bill. The whole question was
precipitated at the caucus held jGst before
the House convened to-day. at which.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1894-08-14

after a thorough review of the situation
and speeches in favor OF receding by
Speaker Crisp, Chairman Wilson and 9TH
ers. it was decided to take the Senate bill
and Immediately afterwards pass separate
bills placing coal. iron ore, sugar and
barbed wire on the free list, and by so do
ing place the House on record and at least
partially overcome the humiliation in
volved in it's defeat. The programme ar
ranged in the caucus was carried out to
the letter in the House after an ironclad
special order.
The scenes in the chamber throughout the
day and evening were exciting and at times
sensational. The galleries were packed, and
the members appaluded and cheered their
respective leaders to the echo. Under the
terms OF the order, but two hours were al
lowed for debate on the main proposition
10 recede and agree TO the Senate amend
ments to the tariff bill. A parliamentary
skirrnish preceded the pitched battle, but
points of order raised by the Republicans
were swept aside. The Speaker ruled the
House with an iron hand. The principal
speeches for and against the main PROPOSE
ton were made by Chairman Wilson and
Speaker Crisp on the one hand and ex-
Speaker Reed and Mr.. Burrows on the
other. There was no time for preparation,
and all the speeches were hot from the
forge of the brain, and were greeted with
round after round of cheers and applause.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, and Mr..
Tarsney, of Missouri, both Democratic
members of the ways and means commit
tee, delivered scathing and sensational
speeches, denouncing the surrender of the
House as cowardly and indefensible The
Speaker replied TO Mr. Cochran, whose ef-
fort a brilliant one. with so much tenn
per that the latter took 1t as a personal
affront. although the Speaker disclaimed
such intention, and made vicious lunge
at Speaker Crisp.
There was no attempt on the part Of the
Democratic leaders to claim victory. They
all admitted that they were accepting the
inevitable, justifying their action on the
ground that the Senate bill was infinitely
better than the Mckinley BILL The most
startling feature Of the day, perhaps, was
Mr.. Cockran's eloquent appeal to Chair
man Wilson to name the Democrats in the
Senate who threatened the defeat of all
tariff legislation if the attempt 10 adjust
the differences between the two houses was
persisted in, but Mr.. Wilson made no re-
sponse

o'clock thirteen Observation-Disclosures. Bart

and Covert, of New York; Davey, Meyer
and Price, of louisiana; Everett, of Massa-
chusetts; German, of Michigan; Johnson, of
Ohio, and Tarsney, of MiSsouri-voted with
the Republicans against the resolution. The
Democrats then put through one after an
other what the Republicans derided as the
'pop-gun' bills, placing coal, iron ore,
barbed wire and sugar on the free list, and
which in the brief debate on each of the
bills they maintained would be passed only
to go TO their death in the Senate.

WASHINGTON. Aug 13.-Speaker Crisp's
schedule for passing the tariff bill and hav-
ing it at the White House by. / o. clock
this afternoon failed because a freight
wreck delayed Mr. Outhwaite. a member
of the rules committee Mr.. Cultivate was
hurrying to Washington from Cresson
Springs, and was due here early this
morning. Had he been here the resolution
concurring in the Senate amendments TO
the tariff bill would have been introduced
as soon as the House met at noon. AS it
was. his delay in arriving made it half
past o'clock before the machinery of the
House could be set in motion. Realizing
then that it would be physically impossible
to pass the resolution, have 1T 'engrossed''
(Which is obsolete term, since all bills
are now printed before being sgned), sign
it and send it to Vice President Steven
son for his signature before the day was
over Mr.. Crisp permitted the proceedings
to drag, that it was after O'Clock be-
fore the bill was passed. incidentally,
some of the superstitious members of the
House indicated to Mr.. Crisp that it might
be just as well not to send the tariff bill
to the President on the thirteenth day of
the month. as the unhappy measure had
already enough burdens to stagger under
and that its course through the White
House was already thorny enough without
adding an extra ''hoodoo." At all events
NJ. Crisp verified his promise in the main
by the fact that the bill
passed the House to-day. After
that that body amused itself by
passing some ''popgun'' bills for free sugar,
free binding twine. free coal and free iron
1t is the sole purpose of these bills
to enable tariff reform members of the
House to ''scuare" themselves with their
indignant constituents in the coming cam
paign. 1t is very doubtful if a single one
of these bills passes the Senate. OF them

when 1t reaches the White House Mr..
c. feland will not break faith with the
Sugar Trust. One of the influences that
will assist the passage of the free sugar
bill through the Senate will be the desire
of some of the Senators to put Mr.. Cleve-
land in hole by placing a free sugar bill
before him. There is grave doubt as to
the possibility of keeping Congress here
long enough to pass all of to-day's pop
gum bills through the Senate. The easy
going gentlemen of that august body will
probably consent to remain here for the
ten days. during which Mr.. Cleveland can
hold the BILL and after which il will be-
come a law without his signature. But

venture the prediction that after this week

MORE OF REEDS IRONY.
Mr. Catchings did not desire to debate
the rule, and Mr.. Reed took the floor and
made a very sarcastic speech. "You are
going to give the country free sugar." said
he in his most ironical vein, amid shouts
of Republican laughter, ''in your minds,

Discovery Regarding the Settlement of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-What is char
acterized as the most important discovery
concerning the aborigines made for many
years is announced as the result OF re-
searches made by Prof. Cyrus Thomas. of
the United States Bureau OF Ethnology.
Contrary to previous views, Prof Thomas
sets forth a fact that Mexican civil
ization originated with the Malays of the
south Pacific seas, and stablished a con-
nection between the languages of the Ma
lays and the Mayas, now In Yucatan. The
language, according TO his views. is a di-
rect offshoot OF the Malay, that spoken

this discovery throws new light on the
