The House Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. q.-Chairman Wilson and his house tariff conferrees scored victory Tuesday when the house Democratic caucus, called with q view of terminating the tariff struggle by instructing or advising the house conferrees. adjourned without taking action The effect of this was to leave the house conferrees to do as they saw best and to show conspicuonsly that the effort to advise them had failed. Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson expressed themselves as gratified with the con- clusion, and among the rank and file Of the house the sentiment was general that the movement inangurated to bring about an acceptance of the senate bill had resulted in materially strengthens ing the opposition to the senate bill.

Senators Anxious to Close the

PROGRAMME MAPPED OUT.

1he Plan Now Is That If the Confer
 ence Does Not Come to Some Agree
 ment at Once the Senate Conferrees
 Them other News.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. O. Senators Jones and Vest of the tariH conference con- mittee and Senators German and Smith. acting on behalf of conservative sena- tors, held meeting yesterday previous to the converting of the conference and it IS understood decided the time had ar rived when the conference should come to an end either by agreement or disa- greement and they arranged pro- gramme for bringing about this result.
 This programme was to have the sen- ate eenferrees do their utmost to secure an agreement at the morning conference and in case of failure to urge that disa- greement be reported without further delay and failing to secure the consent of the house members to this plan for the senate conferrees to go into the sen- ate and ask to be discharged from fur ther consideration of the tariff bill in conference.
 Before the conference Senator Jones would neither deny or affirm the report. After the conference Senator Jones said that if there was programme for the senate conferrees to ask to be discharged in existence he was not aware of the fact. He did not deny that the senate conference might ask to be discharged, but added he did not believe such re- quest would be made today. He also stated the proceedings at the morning conference had not left the situation materially changed from what it was after adjournment yesterday.

The Conference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 The tariff con ference was entirely subordinated to tho house caucus and was devoid of inter- esting features. The conferrees held two brief sessions during the day and discussed the coal and iron questions. besides reverting to the sugar schedule. The talk, however, served no purpose except to emphasize the fact that the disagreement is still unbrolzen and that very little if any progress is being made.

Machine Will Do the Rest.
 HARTFORD, Aug. With the hang ing of Jack Cronin on Aug. 24 will be inaugurated new mode of execution ill this state. The old gallows, which has been carted about to do duty since the hanging of Anderson, the Walling- ford murderer, has been used for the last time. III it's stead will be an im- proved automatic hanging machine which completely revolutionizes the style of execution. By the old method the condemned man was dropped through an opening in the scaffold. the drop being released at the proper time. By the new machine the murderer Is jerked high in the air and then drops and is suspended. There are thus two chances to break the neck, while by the old way there was only cue chance, and often this failed and death was by strangulation. Gonneeticut's law iii re- lation to executions was changed by the last general assembly, and the hanging of Cronin will be the first under this provision. He will pull the string and start the mechanism which will deprive him of life.

changed his sign the other day, name
and all. One of his customers, after the
sign had been changed, stopped in to
see if new Chinaman had taken pos
session Of the place. He found the same
laundryman as had been there for a
good many months
''What did you change the name on
your sign for?" was asked of him.
''Oh, that nothin. Only sign name.
That's all"
'Wby don't you put your own name
on the sign?''
'Oh, see if I sellee place, can't sellee
sign See? Any name good sign. That's

He then explained that it was COM
mon practice among Cinnamon to change
their signs frequently, and that by so
doing they believed that it encouraged
trade and thus reimbursed them for the
expenditure in red paint and unpro-
nounceable characters. - Buffalo Ex-

Forty Winks For Insomnia.

II have new remedy for insomnia, I"
said the nervous member as he entered
the club rooms.
IF it is good, tell us about it.
ut is very simple. Just go to bed and
take the most comfortable position for
sleeping. Then slowly open and close
your eyes. If, after 40 winks, you are
not asleep, then try 40 more. The great
difficulty with victims of insomnia is
that they almost always fall to thinking
Of the events of the day. This may be
prevented by persistent counting, but
that is itself mental effort and wakes
one up. Not SO, however, with w1nking.
I defy any Of you to think Of anything
else while you are engaged in this sim
pie exercise. Utica Observer.
