lWill seek admission to the senate from the
state OF Delawarel
gold men for majority of that impor-
tant committee.
In the present senate of 81 members
"A will be majority. There are AZ
republicans, 80 democrats and pop
ulists, and thus it appears that the pop
ulists hold the balance of power. 1t is
questionable whether or not the secre-
tary and sergeant-at-arms Of the senate
will be changed. If the republicans
and democrats can come to an agree
ment, there will be republican secre-
tary and democratic sergeant-at-arms.
II the republicans should unite with the
populists, both of those great offices
wiM be changed. am unable to make
any prediction of what will be done.
One thing is certain, and that is that
neither the democratic party nor the
republican party appear to be anxious
to assume control and responsibility for
the legislation of the senate during the
months preceding great presidential
contest before the people. 1t may seem
strange that there should thus be ex-
hibited stunning of responsibility by
public men, but they are great men,
wise men, all of them good politicians,
and they are playing great game for
national supremacy. You are as able
to guess what they will do as am; for,
although you are far away from the
seat of political controversy, you read
the papers and thus learn almost as
much of the drift of sentiment on such
matters as man may learn right here
in the midst of the melee.

WILL DON THE PURPLE.
Imposing Ceremonies to Attend

Date of tho Event Changed to January s,
Owing to the Delayed Departure from
Rome of Marquis Sacripanti, the
Pope's Messenger.

What will doubtless be one of the
most imposing church ceremonies ever
seen in the United States will take place
at the cathedral on Sunday, January 5,
upon the occasion of the elevation to
the cardinalate of Mgr. Francis Satolli,
papal ALLOCATE in America.
1t was intended that Mgr. Satolli
should don the purple on December Is,
and arrangements therefor had been
made, but a postponement has been
made necessary as a result of advices
from Rome. Marquis Sacripanti, the
noble guard bearing the zuccheto to
the future cardinal, was delayed in his
departure from Rome, and the date of
Mgr. Satolli's elevation was therefore

speech thus published in the Congress
sional Record may be sent through the
mails, at government expense, and
thousands of people receive copies of o
speech which they suppose their con-
gresham delivered in Washington;
when, as matter of fact, their con-
gresham never made speech at all.
When you receive such speeches, you
may ask your congressman whether he
really made speech, or whether he
had leave to print"
OF course only the obscure congress-
men resort to this trick; but there are
many obscure men in congress. The
real leaders never ask "leave to print"
They speak, and are heard with great
respect by their colleagues.
But to return to the organization.
After the speaker and other officers are
elected the house transacts business
under general parliamentary law.
Within few days the speaker appoints
committee on rules. Very soon there
after the committee on rules report a
set of rules for the guidance of the
house, and when the rules are adopted
all debate and procedure must be in ac-
cordance with those rules.
The next thing is for the speaker to
appoint the committee of the house.
This is an arduous and difficult task.
and the speaker usually takes three
| weeks to complete it. Then, and not
until then, is the house completely or
ganized and ready for the transaction
IS II l.,
| ner.
The organization of the senate is an
entirely different matter. The vice
president is the permanent presiding
officer of the senate, and is elected by
the people every four years. Adlai E.
Stevenson, of Illinois, is now vice pres
dent and presides over the senate with
discretion and decorum.
The rules of the senate are seldom
changed. The senators are men of dis
tinction. and great courtesy prevails in
that body. The hurly-burly, noisy
and exciting scenes which are
frequently enacted in the house
are never duplicated in the sen.
ate. The rules of the senate permit
unlimited debate. A senator may talk
every day, and as long as he pleases
upon any subject. Senator Blair, OF
New Hampshire, talked for ten days on
the Blair educational bill. Senatorial
len, of Nebraska, talked Is hours con.
tinuously on the silver purchase repeal
bill. In the house of representatives
the rules limit debate, and no man is
permitted to talk more than one hour
without unanimous consent, a thing
which rarely occurs.
The speaker appoints the committees
for the house; but the senators them
selves, in caucus, appoint their own com
mittees. Every twoyears, when change.
occur in the senate, the committees are
revised and places made for newly-ad
mitted senators. Great interest at
taches to the reorganization of the sen
ate because the two leading politica
parties are so evenly divided, and they
must reach some harmonious conclu
sion concerning committee member
ships. This can only be done by mutua
concessions. A great struggle will b.
made over the membership of tn,
finance committee. 1t is to be finisl

HER EYES.

From her eyes the 'prisoned sunbeams,
Shining bright,
Send their message to the dark soul,
Through the night,
Till the encircling gloom is pierced,
And there is light
But within the deep recesses
OF those eyes,
Beyond tho sunbeams' realm,
A shadow lies.
To loving ones sad
Yet sweet surprise.
For sympathy is deepest
Where tho pain
Has passed from soul to soul,
And back again;
The comfort like the sunlight
After rain
Asunderlies tho sweetest song
The ssddost strain.

The Actress Will Found an Institution for
Retired Actors.
Fanny Davenport is at present nego-
tiating for site in Westchester county,
or near New York city on Long Island,
upon which she proposes to erect a
building to BIO known as the Davenport,
home" says the New York Press. 1t
will be on the same order as the Forrest
home in Philadelphia and will give to
the retired ef the theatrical
profession ,fsSes in which to reside.
after they haveleft the stage. The For
rest home is one of the most noble insti-
tutions of the kind in the world, but For
rest left a will in which he limited the
number of inmates, and there are
hundred applicants or more who are
waiting to gain admission to this insti-
tuition.
The home that Miss Davenport in
tends to erect will have many novel fea-
lures. AS an addition to it's being /,
place where retired members will re-
ceive frst-class care and good apart
ments, it will also include school for
the children of actors and actresses who
desire to adopt their parents profess
sion, but are unable to properly educate
themselves for the same, to teach them
the art of acting and give them as much
practical experience (by actual per-
formances) as possible.
To do this Miss Davenport will ex-
pect that the actors and actresses who
reside in the home will act as tutors to
the children and give them the benefit
of their stage experience.
