HOW TO GET a QUORUM.
A Democratic Caucus Will Try to
Solve the Problem.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The call for
caucus OF Democrats to agree upon q
rule Tor recording members present but
not voting i'll order to make quorum i S
growing in favor. The call now bears
the names of 122 Democrats. 1t was
handed TO Representative Holman
today, the chairman of the eau
Gus. Members say that this matte r
must be settled within their party as
soon as the Bland bill has been disposed
of. Representative Paynter. of Ken
lucky, who started the call, has drawn
up new rule which he thinks over
comes the objections of many members
to his draft of rule for recording those
present and not voting without fning
them. This rule Incorporates new prin-
clpal that the affirmative votes on call
must be majority of those officially
recorded, both as voting and as present
and not voting, in order that the vote
shall be a legal one to decide the pend
ing question. The proposed rule is as
follows: "But should quorum fail to
vote and the point be made that no
quorum had voted there shall be call
or the house and the yeas and nays
on the pending question shall at the
same time be ordered. The
clerk shall call the roll and each
member as he answers to his name
or Is brought before the house under
the proceedings of the call of the house
shall vote on the pending question. If
the member fails to vote, or refuses
when present to answer to his name.
then any member can announce to the
speaker that a member, giving his
name, is present and failed to vote.
or answer to his name on such call;
tnereupon the speaker shall direct
the clerk to note the name OF
such member on the Journal as
present. If those voting OH the uues-
ton and those declining to vote or
answer TO their names snail together
make majority of the house. then the
speaker shall declare that a quorum is
constituted, and the pending question
shall he decided, providing the affirma.
tive yote'is majority of those voting
and those present and not yot-
lng." Three propositions for
new rule have been drafted
which will find supporters in the eau
Gus; that devised by Journal Clerk
Crutchleld for fining members one
days pay. the resolution by Represen-
tatiye Dearmond, of Missouri, for
flne OF $50 and the latest plan of Repre-
sentative Paynter. But none of these
can be made effective for breaking the
present deadlock, because the caucus
viii not meet until the Bland bill is dis
posed Of in some way.

PLEAD NOT GUILTY.

Their Dilemma.

MASON, MIch., Feb. "a. - Attorney
General Ellis, Treasurer Hambitzer,
Land Commissioner Berry and Clerks
Potter and Bussey came voluntarily
from Lansing today with their attorneys
and sureties to plead not guilty 10
the various charges against them of
forgery. miscounting and other corrupt
practices in connection with the false
returns on the state salaries amend
ments. The other five defendants did
not appear.
AT l:45 the grand jury flea into court
and presented the six indictments TO
Judge Person, after which all the de-
fendants' attorneys present announced
that their clients would plead not guilty
without waving their rights to attack
the indictments, which was done. Bail
in the sum of $1,000 each was fixed as 10
Jochim. HambitZer, Berry and Ellis on
each of the two separate indictments.
Clerks Warren and Potter'S bail was
made $4,000. and BusseyS $1,000. That
of County Clerk May, of Detroit, was
placed at $1,000 in his indictment with
Ellis for stealing the Detroit returns.
Besides this each was required to fur
nish bail of $1,000 under the conspiracy
Indictment. Those present furnished
the bonds, and the others will probably
do likewise on Monday. All of the ac-
cused joked and made light of their
dilemma.

ARTZ RESIGNS.
Adjutant General of Kansas Is in
Trouble


Topeka, Kan, Feb. 24.-W. j. Stagg,
the expert accountant who has been
investigating Adjt. Gen. Artz's &C
counts, made his report to the governor
today. The expert reports show that
the adjutant generals accounts and
vouchers are not kept in the same forms
as those used by the state auditor, and
for that reason they do not agree except
i'll the general fOotings. The report
shows that Artz drew the balance of
the contingent fund for the use of his
Office at the close of the fiscal year, and
that he also drew voucher for $50 and
a voucher for William Baker, but they
were irregular. There is nothing in
the office to explain them.
Upon receipt of the report of Expert
Stagg, Gov. Lewelling addressed a let
ter to ArtZ in which he said he regretted
to inform him the result of the exam
ination was not satisfactory to him,
but he would withhold Judgment, hop
ing he would make satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION.
When Artz received the governors
letter he Immediately made his explana-
ton and rendered his resignation, to
take effect at the earliest possible mo
ment which will permit himto check UP
the property in his possession.

GROVER LOSES HIS TEMPER
BITTER DENUNCIA7iON OF c0RRE
SPONDENTS By THE PRESIDENT.
THEY DECEIVE THE PUBLIC

A Report Was Circulated in Sew
erai Newspapers That CIeye-
land Was to Have an Operation
Performed on Account OF a
Serious Malady-He Says 1t Is
Absolutely False.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. = A repre-
sentative of the Associated Press saw
President Cleveland this evening at the
executive mansion regarding the re-
ports that have been circulated in some
newspapers for the past two or three
days to the effect that the president was
suffering from a serious maladv and
was about to have an operation per-
formed. Concerning these reports the
president said:
IL have been engaged every day in
my office on pnbllc business aud have
every day seen the people who called.
senators, representatives and Others.
Nothing would have been easier than to
ascertain the absolute falsity OF these re-
ports. L am forced tc conclude that there
Is an epidemic of mendacity emanat-
Ing from the dull and stupid brains of
some of these correspondents. These
men must be influenced either by de-
sire to deceive the public or to annoy
those affected by their disreputable
work. Those who read newspapers
should understand the extent to which
their credulity is calculated upon"
When the representative of the Asso.
ciated Press entered the presidents
business office at the White house this
evening he found Mr.. Cleveland and
Secretary Thurber engaged in clearing
the desk of the accumulation of public
business. Mr.. Cleveland never looked
better in his life. His eye was bright,
his color good and his voice hearty
and strong. Today he received a
large number of callers in his office, and
at LIS p. IN. shook hands with $50 peo.
pie in the east room. At O'Clock he
drove about the city for more than an
hour in an open carriage. and tonighu
ne is hard at work at his desk, where
ne will remain until long after midt
night. This night is no exception ia
the general rule. 1t can be said with
perfect assurance that all reports to the
effect that the president is not in good
health dre entirely without foundation.

hSdu.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Senor Guz-
man, the minister of Nicaragua to the
United States. has received a cablegram
to the following effect from the minister
foreign affairs of Nicaragua: The capital
of Honduras (Tegucigalpa) capitulated
last night. Publish this cablegram.
Our victory puts an eud to the war in
Honduras. $50" said the minister
smilingly, Nicaragua came out vic
torious." This message contained all
the information that is known here con-
cerDing the very latest developments in
Honduran affairs. 1t is believed here
that the armies of Nicaragua will now
withdraw from the soil of Honduras,
after the provisional government, which
Bonilla and his Honduran associates
will establish, is firmly entrenched in
power and able to put down any disor-
ders that might arise. 1t is not posi-
lively known, of course. but still IL is
new president of Honpuras will be
Bonilla. the leader of the Honduran op-
position to VasQuez, the dethroned pres
ldent. This would be entirely natural
now that the former insurgents are
victorious. Vasquez, 1t is supposed,
will leave the country, and Nicaragua
will permit the people Of Honduras to
settle affairs In their own way.
PolicarpO Bonilla has achieved fame
as revoluIionist outside of his country
by avoiding arrest and entangling the
United States in diplomatic incident
lastsummer. For the past two years he
has been known as leader in revolu-
tlonary movements in Honduras, but in
crisis last summer he was compelled
to fly from the country for safety. He
went into Nicaragua, and, complying
with the easy requirements Of the law
of that country by taking up his resi-
dence. he was declared to be a citizen
and was elected member of the
Nicaraguan congress-. In This position
he was still engaged in helping along
the revolutionary movement in Hon.
duras, and while passenger OIL the
steamer Costa Rica, flying the United
States flag, the HOnduran officers
sought to arrest him as the ship touched
at one of their ports. The captain of
the vessel, however, refused TO sur
render his passenger, and ran away
from the port under fire from the orb
Gers about seven shots being dis
charged after the ship. For this attack
upon the American flag the Honduran
government offered an apology, which
was ultimately accepted by the United
States government. So BonilIa escaped,
and, seizing the first opportunity. head
ed another revolutionary party, which
has at last succeeded in over throwing
the government of President Vasquez.

COMING FASHIONS.

The growing amplitude of skirts at
the bottom is noticed.
Chrysanthemum collaretes are one
of the novelties Of the season.
Nothing excels dark-blue tweed or
homespun for a simple, seryiceable
suit
Pure golden yellow is highly
favored color in the brocades imported
for receptions and grand dinners.
The autumn and winter coats have
all of them immensely wide sleeves
cut to go on easily over the large sleeve
of the gown.
There is no fixed rule in millinery.
Provided the head covering is becoming
and not altogether outre, a woman may
wear just what best suits her face or
her fanccy.
Black and Lincoln green are favor
ite combination this season. There is
great deal of dash and style about a
gown IN which these colors are artisti-
cally combined.
Many of the autumn gowns are made
in combination with some striking
color, such as brown with crude
green, blue with fawn. tan and mauve,
and dark blue with red.
Every hat should have dash of
bright color; knot of cherry velvet,
tiny grass-green pompon or flash OF
emerald buckle, and the more demure
in color the rest of the hat is the more
dashing the bit must be.
A novel sleeve. especially suitable for
soft French cloth, is made on a fitted
lining and has an under and upper
piece, which is gathered at the back
and front seams, and drawn up under
rosette of ribbon.
Chrysanthemum collarettes are among
the novelties of the season. They are
folded collars of crepe in pink, blue,
cream or black, with double rosettes on
the sides and one at the back, the
arrangement of lace or chiffon varying
to suit the costume. They are very
effective when made in velvet with q
belt to match.

The more we think of it, the more
plain it becomes that. except for the
much denounced Capitalists" and the
favored pets of fortune, the direct way
to get dinner is to earn it. Sex makes
no difference in this respect. Napoleon
said that there should be free field
for talents; and SO long as the world is
carried on by competition each must be
left free to compete. Wherever
woman can do anything for an honest
living, she must find no obstruction
in doing it. If the man at her elbow
can do it better, she will have to give
way; there is no doubt about that; she
has been doing it for many centuries.
If he can do the work precisely as we'll,
it will be practically shared between
them; if he does it less we'll, he must
stand aside. / knew bright young
woman who did type-writing for firm
of brokers. They employed young
man as an agent to go about selling
stocks and bonds for them. He
proved failure. She said to the part
ners: "Let me try; l cannot do worse
than that. Going home in the cars
that night, she encountered an old lady
who was puzzled about investing few
thousand dollars safely. Bringing her
round to the office the next morning.
my young friend showed her list of
investments, explained everything to
her, sold her some stocks, and has been
doing that sort Of thing for the firm
ever since. I know another young
woman who is an insurance agent
under similar circumstances. It is
very important in this world, first.
that every piece Of work should be done
by the competent, not by the inoom-
petent; and second, that those who
have to live by bread should take the
first available means of earning din
ner. When it comes to the point, it
is easier for woman to support herself
than to hunt round for man to sup
port her. In one Of the Buddhist sacred
books it is held out as one reward Of
yirtuous man that she shall be reborn
in heaven, and with one thousand
heavenly wives live in an unspeakably
shining habitation. But very few
men are willing to take the responsible
ity of providing for thousand heaven
ly creatures in this world. When
they are to be fed, the greater part Of
the thousand have to look out for their
own dinners. ST. w. H., in Harpers'

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR.

Superhuous hairs can be removed
only by long and painful process of
extracting one by one and then killing
the follicle of each SO that new ones
cannot sprout, for the hair follicles are
to the hair what the roots are to tree.
This is done by tweezers and needles
or by the electric needle without the
tweezers, but both are tedious, painful
and expensive. The process can be
done in a wholesale way by covering
the hairs with cautsic that will burn
down to the roots and kill them, as a
forest fire does tree roots, but this
almost always leaves scar quite as
disfiguring as the hairs.
