Proceedings I'm the senate Depend ON
Their Programme.
WASHINGTON. May l3.-The course Of
the proceedings in the Senate this week
will probably depend largely on the result
of the Republican caucus 10 be held Mon
day night. The Democrats are hopeful
that the caucus will decide on treating
the tariff bill in what they consider "a
busness-like'' manner and letting the bill
proceed on it's course without as much
speech-making and without the effort at
delay, which the Democrats claim has been
displayed by some of the Republican Sen
ators so far In the debate. There is un-
euestionably large element on the Re-
publican side OF the Senate chamber op-
posed to any course which smacks In the
least of filibustering. This element in
cludes large number of Senators from
the West and also a sprinkling of the
older Eastern Senators, who feel that they
have a record TO sustain against dilatory
tactics The younger New England Re-
publican Senator's are. however. almost a
unit in favor of continuing the fight on
the lines which have been pursued up 10
this time. They contend that no dilatory
tactics have yet been resorted 10, and that
none are necessary, and they will probably
make a strong plea in caucus TO continue
the programme heretofore pursued i'm dis
cussng the dill. If the conservative ele-
ment in the Republican ranks wins In the
caucus the present agreement as 10 hours
for debate will probably be observed. IL
the opposite party carry the day. the DEM
ocrats will most likely renew the effort TO
extend the hours and 10 force tce fighting.
Senator Harris said to-day that in case
there We're many more calls for a quorum
from the Republican side. or IL the long
speeches continued, he would renew his
10 o'clock motion. but that he did not wish
10 do this so long as there was any possi-
bility OF holding the debate within legiti-
mate bounds On the decision Of the cau-

GOOD AS THE OTHERS.
Flimsy Democratic Excuse for the Illi-
nois Gerrymander.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
DANVILLE, ILL.,, May 13.-The Demo-
Gratis have made a new move IN rhe case
which the Republicans brought ir this
city to set aside the gerrymander made by
the last Legislature. They have induced
William Bines. of Ridge Farm, this coun-
ty, TO file a petition TO be made party
to the suit. Mr.. Bines is a Democratic
candidate for the Legislature. In his Pc
tition he first asks the court to pass on
the apportionment act OF 1898 as constitu-
tional, and then adds. If Ii be not consti-
tutional, also declare the apportionment
acts of 1882 and 1877 unconstitutional which
he attempts to show are more unfair than
the act of 1893. IT is virtually the same
matter set up in the Springfield case CT
Belair vs. Hinrichsen. Ii is the hope OF
the Democrats to consolidate the Danyille
and Springfield cases in the Supreme
Court, which they believe will sustain the
act of 1888, If for no other reason than IL
is as fair as the acts of 1882 and 1871, en-
acted by the Republicans.

Sound Proof Apartments.

The problem of securing sound proof
apartments has long taxed the ingenuity
of architects and builders. Results of
some recent Investigations summarized
by the New York Sun are that, as re-
CARDS the floor, ply of very thick carpet
felt underneath the ordinary carpet will
to certain extent accomplish the object
desired, but to make it really effective it
is essential to lift the floor, and If there is
not already counter flooring between the
joists it may be of service to fill in on the
top of the laths which hold the ceiling I'M
derneath with about three inches of sill
cate of cotton, afterward laying a strip of
hair felt on top of each ioist before mailing
down the floor, such treatment tending to
stop all sound in that direction. As re-
CARDS the walls, they would require TO
have vertical studs, say an inch and a half
by an inch, spaced IS inches apart, these
to be either lathed or covered with wire
netting and the spaces between the lath-
ing and the present plaster filled in with
silicato of cotton The result will be still
more satisfactory by providing the fronts
of the studs with strip of hair felt in the
same manner as indicated for the joists,
and the walls of course being replastered.

Electric Car No. 9 was laid up on Main
street on the 7 o'clock trip, Thursday
morning. Near Temple street one OF the
cogs in the motor part of the car became
broken and it was impossible to start the
car The other car there being but two
on the road, was at Fairfield, and as soon
as possible it was brought down and the
disabled car taken to the shops at Fair
field, where new gear was put in, and
commenced running at l o'clock in the
afternoon. During the forenoon, trips
were only made once an hour, and the
patience of more than one person was ex
hausted by looking for the Electric which
came not.

An Interesting Theory.

A Partisan scientist, DR.. Delaunay, ad-
vances a curious test of peoples lntelil-
gence and capacities. He claims that TO
ascertain the qualities of a cook, for in
stance, it is sufficient to give her plate
to clean OF sauce to make and watch how
she moves her hands in either act. If she
moves it from left to right or in the direc-
tion Of the hands of watch, you may
trust her; If the other way, she is certain
to be stupid and incapable. Similarly the
intelligence Of people may be gauged by
asking them to make a circle on paper
with pencil and noting in what direction
the hand is moved The good students in
a mathematical class draw circles from
left to right. The inferiority of the softer
sex as well as the male ounces is shown
by their drawing from right to left. Asy-
lum patients and children do the same
In word, centrifugal movements are a
characteristic cf intelligence and higher
development; centripetal are mark of in
complete evolution.

Gone of the finest examples of first
class railroad management which has
come TO our notice says the New YORK

Central Railroad, of which Payson Tucker
is general manager. With gross loss
in revenue of 1896, 556.24 during the past
year the net loss was only S3S, ,0i54S
And throughout the year the property OF
the road was kept in the highest state
of efficiency, and many costly improve
ments were made and paid for. If Ameri-
can railroads generally were managed as
wisely and as honestly as is the Maine
Central system, European holders of their
securities would never be in hurry to

lives entered the cave one Saturday even
ing little before midnight, intending to
remain there "a hours, but violent rain
swelled the stream and submerged the en-
trance. They soon discovered the fact and
took refuge in the Felzmann hohle, q
chamber reached by kind of shaft Here
they might die Of hunger or go mad, but
not for want of water or of air, because
the chamber communicated with the top
of the plateau by narrow fissure or vent
Another shaft also led from it into Sec
ond chamber the Oswald hohle, toward
the edge of the escarpInent. A box of pro-
visions was lloated through the siphon to
them, and they were ultimately rescued
after an imprisonment of about 81 days.

THE CRUEL PLANT.


the honey. A pair of sensitive vegetable
pinchers in the heart of the flower grips
the delicate proboscis, and in spite of
struggles to get free the butterfly hangs
suspended until it dies. Apparently the
plant has nothing to gain by the death OF
the insect, as it is not ''carnivorous, " like
the Venus fytrap. In fact, If the butterfly
wero allowed to come and go, 1t would
tend to foster the species by assisting cross
fertilization. 1t appears, however, that
the '.cruel plant" came originally from
Brazil, where the butterflies are much
stronger and extricate their suckers from
the trap. We may add that another Cana
dian plant, the Cnicus discolor, is charged
with cruelty. The flower has gland
which secretes viscous liquid capable OF
lining insects which are fond OF it. More
over, they seem to be stupefied and pol
soned by it, and no reason can as yet be
assigned for the deadly consequence.
A remarkable tree growth described and
illustrated, as is the foregoing. by Cas-
sells Magazine, exists in an arch between
a private park and public road at MID
dleboro, Mass. 1t is formed OF three
trunks, which coalesce, and fourth has
been added for symmetry by the owner OF
the park, but whether the trunks are in
dependent trees or have sprung from one
root has not been ascertaincd. Such a
curo from the hand of nature is certainly
moro interesting than an artificial en-
trance.
Another curious tree growth reported
consists of two becches, over foot in di-
amcter and 20 feet apart, Joined like the
Siamcsc twins by nearly horizontal
branch, which appears to have grown out
of one trunk and united itself with the

The original Words of "Ben Bolt.-

DR.. Thomas Dunn English, the author
of this favorite song, recently addressed a
protest through Harpcr's Bazar against
some words which have crept into the song
in the course of time.
He says: Tho words of the original
were:
Don't you remember the school. Ben Bolt.
With tie master so cruel and grim,
And the shaded nook in the running brook.
Where the children went to swim?
This has beer changed II the song a.
usually sum-. To read:
"With the master SO kind and so true.
And the little nook by the clear running
brock.
Where we gathered the flowers as they g.ewf
81 must protest against this change, be-
cause the schoolmasters of between so and
40 years since were, to my memory, cruel
and grim. They were neither kind nor true
They seemed to think the only way to get
learning into boys head was by use Of
the rod Jhere may have been exceptions,
but never met them.'

A Great Though Little Talked OF Amsri-

can Industry-Notable Bells.
Bellmaking is one of the great indus
tries in this country, yet how seldom we
hear of it! Foreign countries recognize
that our bells are superior in tone TO any
other make, and even the japanese are
sending orders to this country for bells,
saws the Chicago Record. The japanese
have long been regarded as famous bell
makers, but they do not hesitate to apply
to American manufacturers when they
find it to their advantage to do SO. Inere
is a grim humor in the fact that the fire
alarm bells to be used in Tokyo have been
ordered of manufacturing firm in Jer
sey City.
The largest bell in America is in the
cathedral of Montreal, and it weighs 70,
600 pounds The bell in the public build
ing at Philadelphia is to weigh between
20. 600 and 20, 900 pounds There is Dell
at Erfurt, Germany, cast in 1879, and one
in Notrc Dame, Paris, cast in 1850, each
weighing 80, 900 pounds. The great Chi
nese bell at Peking weighs 120, 900 pounds,
is IA feet high and IL feet in diameter.
By the way, the Chinese used to make
their bells nearly square in shape.
The largest bell is of course that III the
Kremlin at Moscow. 1t is over 10 feet in
height and measures nearly 20 feet across
the mouth. Its thickness at the point
where the clapper would strike is 20
inches. The cost of manufacturing this
noble work of human art was about
$500, 900.

THE NEW FRENCH TIRE.

the supports, and they are made eccentric
SO as to distribute the resisting power of
the surface without increasing the weight
of the tire. They divide the tire into a
very large number of air chambers, per-
fectly independent of one another, SO that
if one is pierced the others are not affect
ed. These add to the elasticity of the tire
pressed air.
The motion is as easy as that of the best
pneumatic tires, while the accidents to
which pneumatic tires are subject are
done away with. The New York Sun,
authority for the foregoing, says this tire
can be applied at once to all rims for solid
or hollow tires. For pneumatic tire ma
chimes some slight but inexpensive modifi-
cation of the rim will be necessary.

Ever since our first colonists settled at

of licorice. In looking over the records Of
the past, attempts are frequently referred

to be more FROM want of care in selection
OF proper soil than anything else. In
heavy clay soil leaves burn in the summer

which extends 21O feet from the entrance

Without a Moments Detention from
Business.

The fame of Dr. G. r. Fiske of Lewis
ton, for the successful treatment of
Piles, Fissure, Fistula and all forms of
Rectal Troubles has brought to him SO
many patients from different sections of
the State that he has thought it advisable
to give them an opportunity for treatment
at home.
Will be at the Evans House, Gardiner, every
Tuesday from 9 A. N. to 8 P. NJ. until further
notice.
DIR. Fiske has cured hundreds of cases
in which other physicians have previously
failed.
He never uses knife.
He never uses ligature.
He never uses a cautery.
He never detains his patients from bust
ness.
His methods are his own. They are
modern scientific and successful.
His charges are extremely reasonable.
He never charges for consultation or ex-
animation.
You will find him honest, fair and emf
nently straightforward.
His work is his evidence
