Heavy for the Tariff Bill.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-This has been
field day in the house and the op-
ponents of the income tax had their
opportunity. Covert and Bartlett of
New York, and johnson of Ohio, all
Democrats presented an opposition
along with the Republicans but it re-
mainsd for Bourke Cochran to eclipse all
speeches he has ever made in congress.
Bryan, of Nebraska, closed the debate
for the day in defense of the income
tax and he, too made an eloquent
speech.
Bartlett declared that he was opposed
to an income tax at any time and in any
form whether as a rider on the tariff
bill or as separate measure. Pendle-
ton, Democrat of West Virginia, said
the West Virginia delegation would
support the bill and he thought New
York ought to do likewise and take Its
medicine in the form of an income tax
Breckenridge, of the ways and means
committee, referred to the fact that q
very full Democratic caucus had de.
cided to make an income tax a feature
of the bill.
johnson of Ohio followed with q ra
ther sensational theoretical srraignmeni
of the income tax proposition which
gave him an opportunity to advocate
the imposition of the Henry George
land tax. McKeighan and Simpson ad.
vocated graduated income tax.
Cochran followed as the especial
champion of the democratic opposition
to the income tax law. For oyer an
hour the great Tammany orator poured
| forth his eioqdeace against tie fneoIe
tax. He had, he said, hoped tn. tariff
bill would be allowed to come to vote
unvexed, undisturbed. free from all the
danger of an embarrassing side issue
He had hoped the democratic party
would first redeem its pledges before il
began to indulge the vagaries of mem
bers. Why, he asked, should har
monious, militant party be plunged into
discord by this proposition? He denied
that the tariff reductions in the Wilson
bill would produce a deficit or thai
there was any need of an income tax
on this account, and he appealed elo
qusntly to his democratic colleagues
not to commit this error not to throw
away New York, the stronghold OF
democracy. On concluding he was tire
mendously cheered.
Bryan, of Nebraska, followed in ad
vocacy of the income tax and took issu,
with Cochran as to the justice anc
equality of the tax. Many members
congratulated Bryan on his speech.

Federal Elections Repeal Bill.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The senate
has finally named the day when the
final vote will be taken on the bill re-
pealing the federal elections law. At
ter another colloquy between Gray and
Chandler, the Republicans consented
that the general debate on the measure
shall close next Tuesday at p. m.
After that hour amendments may be
presented and passed upon, but the
final vote must be taken before the
adjournment of the senate that day.
The bond question came up in the
senate again and after long debate
went over by unanimous consent until
tomorrow. A significant feature of the
discussion was the firm stand taken by
Sherman in support of the authority of
Carlisle to issue bonds. The gold re-
serve, he declared, was fund which
should be preserved inviolate and he
thought it even mandatory, rather than
discretionary, with Carlisle to sell at
least sufficient bonds to restore the
gold reserve.

OVER FIFTY YEARS or SUCCESS.
Notable Career of the John =. Lowell
Arms Company.

For over half century the John p. Lowell
Arms Co. has been looked 90 as an authority
on sporting goods, and no one who ever had
business dealings with this well known firm,
has ever had cause to complain OF unfair treat-'
ment.
After IS successful years this house is now
known throughout the country, and the very
mention of the name JOHN Z. Lowell Arms 20.
Is a synonym of honesty and reliability.
John p. Lowell, the founder Of the Company,
although "A years old, is invariably at his desk
every day to overlook the rapidly increasing
business.
No sharp practices in trade can be laid up
against him. His record for honesty and in
tegrity is irreproachable;
Fortunately, Mr.. Lowell has some sturdy ana
businesslike sons whom he early associated
with him.
Col. BENJAMIN s. Lowell, who is endowed
with rare business ability, fills the position OF
treasurer Of the Company in most thorough
manner. He is attached to the Governor OF

The Table Fork.

The common table fork was wholly
unknown to the ancients, nothing re-
sembling such implements having been
found by explorers in any of the an
cient ruins. They were probably first
used by the Italians about the end of
the fifteenth century. At first they
had only two prongs or tines, and
were always made of iron. At pres
ent they have two, three, four, five
and even six prongs, and are made OF
every known maleable metal. The old
est known carving fork is still pre-
served in the Castle Pau. 1t formerly
belonged to Henry ~, of France.
Coryates "Book of Crudities," pub
lished in 1911, makes the first distinct
mention Of the use of forks. Speak
ing of his travels in Italy, he says 81
observed custom in the italian cities
through which 1 passed that is not
used in any other country through
which l travelled.

use little fork when they cut their
meats. This form of feeding under
stand is general throughout the King

ers dwelling in those parts. st.

There are now only six Assistant
Paymasters in the Navy, and none
were appointed earlier than 1892. This
is the lowest grade in the pay corps,
and it carries the relative rank of en-
sign. The Assistant Paymaster re-
mains in that grade from seven to
eleven years, and during the first
three or four years may expect billets
only on small ships and unimportant
shore duty. There was a pretence
fifteen or twenty years ago to appoint
to the pay corps after competitive ex-
animation, but it was abandoned, and
now appointments are obtained by in

An American GIrI's Badge of Bravery.

Miss Jennie Creek, who is the
youngest person probably who was
ever decorated by the French Order
of the Legion of Honor, is half or
phan, and lives with the family of
Samuel Personnel, near Millgrove,
Blackford County, Ind. She is one Of
five poor children, whose father is II
woodsman, near Gilman, Ind. She
is only ten years old.
On September 10, 1898, when she
ran down the track waving her little
apron to stop a Pennsylvania train
loaded with people returning from
the Worlds Fair, that was rushing
toward a burning bridge, she was
barefoot and half clad. Her foster
parents were laboring in a field, and
also barefoot With disheveled hair
and frightened as a hare, the passen-
gers caught little Jennie and carried
her through the car. The women
petted her and the men gave her
money.
After the story reached the railroad
officials they sent her a pass for her
self and foster parents to the Worlds
Fair, enabling her to see show that

The Secretary Of the Navy has jus,
approved a report made by Board of
Officers recommending a complete
change in the uniforms worn by the
navy. Fortunately for the officers,
however, the changes are not such as
will entail much additional expense
in the purchase of new clothing, and
are to be made gradually, so that they
will not be compelled to purchase
complete outfits at once. The present
navy uniform is regarded as one of the
handsomest in the world, but the
changes which are now ordered are
said to be demanded by convenience
and comfort. The present heavy over
coat will lose the belt around the waist,
and the hood at the back is to be fixed
SO that it can be detached and need be
worn only in extremely cold weather.
The present white helmet for hot
climates is to be abolished and white
cover, used over the regular service
cap, is to take its place. Two years
from now the special full dress is to
suffer many alterations, which, it is
believed, will improve it, and other
changes that individually are of nc
great consequence are to be made
from time to time, which collectively
will make a considerable difference in
the outfit of an officer.

What Denomination?

Jay Cooke, in 1866, told the follow
ing: One day, when l was putting
government bonds on the market 1
was greatly annoyed by the clerks tell
ing me that there was an old man in
the office who would do no business
with them and must see me. To get
rid of him l went out. Said he:
Mr.. Cooke, 1 have got SO, 900 in
gold in this bag. can't do anything
with it in the town where / live; they
are circulating grocers' checks and
everything else but money, and I am
frightened because l think l will be
cheated if dispose of it. Will you
tell me on your word of honor if these
bonds are sound and right?"
[ replied:
"If they arc not right, nothing is
right, am putting all L have in the
world into them"
After further conversation the man
concluded to take them.
"What denominations will you have
them in?" l asked.
This was too much for the man. He
had never heard that word used in
connection with that business.
"You may give me 500 in Old
School Presbyterian, to please the old
woman, but will take the heft of il

The Baltimore Sun has an editorial
on the use of steam wagons for roads,
which it urges as the next step in
economic transportation. 1t says that
such vehicles, having broad-tired
wheels, have been found to benefit
rather than injure the roads where
they are in use. Those of the latest
type are cheaper in use than wagons
drawn by horses, provided the freight
offering for carriage is abundant in
amount and steady in supply. Steam
wagons in crowded streets occupy less
space than horse drawn vehicles. In
army times they are, on this account,
of special value and are about being
used by some European Governments.
The horse, besides taking up space in
the road, must stop at intervals to eat
and sleep, whereas the steam wagon
can go twenty-four hours a day. The
steam wagon, in fact, has every adj
vantage that the locomotive and train
have over the wagon train drawn by
horses, except that of smooth steel
rail and easy grades to run upon.
