The new system of baggage delivery
lately iuaugurated by the Pennsylvania
railroad might be adopted elsewhere to
advantage for travellers This new ar
rlngement is simple enough. as the pas
sengers wishing their personal effects to
be taken direct with themselves in coupe
or carriage have only to make their wish
known to the agent when baggage is
checked. and check strap containing the
word coupe" is then attached thereto,
insuring its immediate delivery at house OF
hotel with the passenger. One of the
agonies of American railway passengers il
the fear of separation from their baggage
If the Pennsylvania road has really solved
this difficulty. joy will reign throughout
the United States where lost trunks are
almost as grievous a condition as modern
man can know

grownup children-Mrs. C. B. Baker,
wife of son of congressman Baker
of Rochester; Miss Grace Morrill,, n
young lady of 90 summers, and Frank
Morrill,, aged 10, a sophomore Mt Har-
ward college.
Mrs. Morrill, is typical Boston
woman, cultured, refined and IF n quiet,
retiring disposition. She is an ardent
church worker in Hiawatha, and her
whole soul is devoted to her home, her
family and her church work. She has
little love for politics. and it is said re-
GREETED her husbands acceptance of the
gubernatorial nomination. She is elated
at his success principally because it
pleases him and not ut all because she
will be called upon to take the position
socially that properly belongs to the
family of the highest state officer. Her
husband says she shall follow her own
bent in the matter of entertaining, and
she will probably limit her efforts to tho
necessary social duties of her position.
Mrs. Morrill, is not an ardent woman
suffragiSt. She Is ON the fence. She has
no yearning to redeem Kansas and be-
lieves that she can worry along with
the rights she now exercises. When
suffrage comes, she will exercise her
right to vote. and meantirse she con-
tents herself with paying her dues in
the suffrage club of Hiawatha. When
her husband was in congress, Mrs. Ba-
ker spent eight years in Washington, but
was not charmed with tho prevailing
social routine. II cannot bear the Gus
tom of making calls and leaving cards, /"
she says. land there seems to be so lit
tie heart in all the social conventional
titles. love my friends and am loyal to
them, but society is exacting. and have
no taste for it,
Miss Grace Morrill,, however, is fond
of society and will doubtless relieve her
mother in attending to the duties de-
volving upon the first lady of Kansas.
She is tall and fair and has travelled a
great deal. She is brilliant converse
Zionist and has trunkful of clever sto-
ries that she has written, but is too
modest to have printed.

ed interest in the story of Guelizar, the
heroine of the Kurdish atrocities of five
years ago Sine was captured by the no.
torious fiend. Moussa Bey. and taken to
the mountain home of n Kurdish chief.
There she refused to become his wife,
but was compelled TO accept the Mo-
hammedan religion.
Her mother appealed to the people of
Europe to aid in rescuing her daughter
and in bringing Moussa Bey to justice.
Guelizar was called upon by the Turkish
officials to declare her religion at the
religious court of Bitlis. European pow
ers were represented at the ceremony by
their special commissioners at Constan-
tinople, and to the surprise of the Turk
ish officials she boldly declared that she
was Christian and denounced the faith
of Islam. Moussa Bey was tried at Con-
stantinople for abducting her, and nj
| the first trial he was acquitted. Euro.
pean courts entered their hearty protest
at the failure Of justice, and Moussa
Bey was retired and convicted. He il
now in exile, but there is a general i'm.
preston that he is not being allowed tC
suffer as he should for his cri mes. Gu.

permitted to return to her people. The
cross hanging at her neck was given her

WHAT they are telling about the condi-
ton of the tenement houses controlled by
the Trinity parish in New York doesn't
speak very we'll for that parish. Next to
the Astors. Trinity is the largest land
holder in the city. Its property is variously
valued at from SIS 600. 900 to $50. OOO.-
900. Its income is little over $500, 900 q
year. Among other property it owns las
tenement houses. which makes it the
lrgest owner of tenement property IN the
city the greatest landlord of the poor.
Aud yet. according to all accounts, these
tenements are for the most part old, ram
shackle affairs, with little or no light or
ventilation. and unfit for habitation in

en- Up by the senate. but He Was Beaten.
The Closure Proposal Also ouashed I'm
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Gray
made an unsuccessful attempt TO have con-
sidered in the senate the bill reported from
the finance committee striking out all the
differential duty in favor of refined sugar
and leaving all sugar dutiable at 40 pen
cent ad valorem.
There Were n great many absentees, so
that the defeat was not so decisive as to
discourage further efforts of the same
kind. The majority vote of ten against
taking up the closure resolution, which
followed, indicates, it is believed, the inn
probability Of changing the rules at this
session
Mr.. Morgan again addressed the senate
ON thu Nicaragua canal bill, and in con-
GLIDING expressed his intention of soon
asking that unanimous consent be given
fixing a time for vote on the bill
There was a general air of<expectancy
about the senate when the hour of 2
O'Clock arrived ON account of the prevail
ing impression that there would be an ef-
fort TO displase the unfinished business,
which was the Nicaragua canal bill, with
the bill changing the duty on sugar to 40
per cent ad valorem fiat. This expectation
was realized when Mr.. Gray Dem., Del
took the floor and stated that he had no
desire to delay consideration of the canal
bill, but he considered the tariff bills OF
greater Importance, and he thought the
senate should have an opportunity to say
whether these bills should be considered
He had, he said, hoped that vote would
be reached on these bills without obstruc-
ton. He believed it was the duty Of the
senate to meet the challenge implied In
those bills. He did not think the discus
sion of the bills would occasion any great
delay. He therefore moved to displace the
Nicaragua canal bill with the sugar bill.
