A Widow,s Mistake.

Mrs. Alice Stevenson was recently
arrested at Kansas City, Kan, for
fraudulently obtaining a pension. Sew
eral years ago at Atchisou, her hus-
band, John Stevenson. died. After
ward she was married to George E.
Rocco, but she says, he had another
wife living, from whom he had not
been divorced, and she refused to live
with him. In making application about
two years ago for a pension as the
widow of John Stevenson she was ad-
vised by her lawyer that no attention
would be given the second marriage, as
it was illegal and void and would be
no barrier to her securing pension.
She acted upon this advice she alleges
in good faith, never doubling that she
was innocent of wrong doing until ar

SENATORS LOSE THEIR DIGNITY
And Accuse Each other of Unworthy
Acts in Public Life.
lTo BE CoNTINUED.l


WASHINGTON, Feb 22.--The tariff aues-
tion came up In quite an unexpected way
In the senate yesterday. and for two hours
1t held the floor to the exclusion Of all
other business. The matter was indirectly
alluded to by Senator Voorhees,, who arose
to question of privilege to deny news
paper statement indicating that the Demo
cratic members of the finance committee
were submitting to the presidents direc-
tions IN all matters relating TO the tariff
bill.
After this denial by Senator Voorhees,
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
precpitated the discussion of the day by
an inquiry as tothe part that Senator Mills
is performing in the consideration of the
bill In committee, Senator VOORHEES, finally
declaring that it was no business of the
senator how the finance committee con.
sidered the bill
This provoked an era of acrimony, and
for the next hour senatorial courtesy had
no place in this dignified body. MANY sen.
ators accused each other of unworthy acts,
anu Senator Vest finally quoted from a
record IN an attempt to prove that Senator
Chandler had promised o take care of cer-
tam officials in the southern states in 1915
II they would decide agninst the Democ-
raey and i'll favor of Hayes for the presi-
dency.
MIR Bland again failed to secure quo
rum in the house on his motion, and after
four hours Of fruitless roll calls the house
adjourned, The highest number of votes
polled yesterday was 10, nine short of a
quorum. The members who have been
arrested, about twenty iu number, We're
paroled until today.

MINISTER SMYTHE SUSTAINED.
He Made No Attempt to Interfere with
President Hyppoiite's Government.

President Hyppolite's Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o-The mail which
has just arrived at the state department
from Hayti brings still more positive
refutation of the report published few
weeks ago that Minister Smythe had adj
dressed letter of advice to President Hip
polite concerning the management of pub
lie affairs in the Haytian republic
Ihe papers of Jan. 20 printed u very cir
cumstantial statement purporting to have
been made to an interviewer by Mr.. Ed
mond Fortune, of Trinidad, who had ar
rived at New York on the preceding day by
the steamer Prinz Wilhelm. Mr.. Fortune
stated that Mr.. Smythe had prepared a
letter to President Hyppolte sharply criti.
cizing the political administration Of
Hnyti, and giving his views as to how the
republic should be governed, that he had
unsuccessfully endeayored "A obtain the
signatures of the other folel.n a representa-
tiyes at Port-au-Prince to this remarkable
paper, and failing in this he had sent il to
Hyppoltte over his own signature. 1t was
sald that the Haytian president had di-
rected demand to he made at Washing
ton for Mr. Smythe's immediate recall.
Inc publication having come to the
knowledge of the German minister resi-
dent at Port-au-Prnce, Dr. Goering, he at
once, of his own motion and without in
vitation from the incupated minister,
wrote most emphatic denial of the whole
story, and in his own belief that Mr.. For
tunes story was Il pure and simple in
Vention was confirmed by the universal
conviction in Hayti that there was abso-
lutely no foundation of fact for the report
Other foreign representatives at Port-au-
Prince offered to make similar statements,
but Mr.. Smythe regards DIR, Goering's cat-
egorical refutation of the story, and his
own statement that he had written no
such letter, as an ample contradiction of
the unjust reports.

There is almost as much diversity as to
the temperature Of the sun as there is re-
garding the source of It's heat. A recent is
sue of knowledge contains an article by
Mr. Ranyard on the photosphere, suggested
by two large photographs taken by DIR.
Jansen. These show the apparent forma-
tion of the suns surface, which is notified
all over, as Mr.. Ranyard remarks, like the
cirrus clouds in n,ackerel sky. From the
appearance of the sun as hus depicted Mr..
Ranyard assumes that the brillance of the
solar surface does not greatly exceed the
brightest incandescence of the most refrac-
tory bodies obtained by means of the cleo
trio current Nor is the heat so great as
many solar physicists assume. From his
own observations and those of others the
writer concludes that the suns heat cannot
exceed 10000 degrees Ca very high tenn
