Confirmation Administered.

On the occasion of the visit of the
Rt. Rev. Isaac L. Nicholson, bishop of
the Milwaukee diocese, to st. Paul's
parish Monday evening, the church
was filed to the doors. The bishop
confirmed a class of nineteen-adults
and chlldren-and preached a forcible
sermon characteristic of himself. The
music of the vested choir did them
much credit, while the singing of the
offertory selection by the fine quartette
was beautiful and inspiring. Mrs. @.
w. Green presided at the organ and
rendered the several voluntaries with
her customary taste and skill. On the
whole the service was extremely inter
esting, and the bishop expressed him
self as much pleased with st. Paul's
estimable showing. After the service
he was rendered an informal reception
at the rectory by the Rev. DR.. and
Mrs. Johnson, many calling to pay
their RESPECTS

ANOTHER REPUTATION RUINED.

Somerville Journal.
A hush falls on the crowded pond.
1he skaters all stand still.
Zach feels puising through his veins
A momentary thrill.
And now with interest and pride,
The small boys heart dilates,
l'or now at last he's going to see
Ills honored pa on skates.
Hes often heard the old man tell
OF what he used to do
When he was young-the figure eight
And the "spread-eagle," too,
rhe grapevine and the "outside edge
The Virginia rail fence"
And he knows what he is going to see
Is going to be immense.
And pa strikes bravely out at last,
His heart quite free from fears,
Although he hasn't put on skates
Before in thirty years
He strikes so bravely out. In fact,
He cuts too wide DASH
One foot goes rigfht--one foot goes left
And down he goes-ker-smashl
He doesn't really break the Ice
II is ten inches thick,
But Just the thought OF skating now
Makes him extremely sick.
He limps ashore-alas, alonei
The small boy didn't walt.
He'll sneer when pa tells stories now,
OF how he used to skate.

An Amendment Passed Favor.
able to Immediate work.
WILL COST THREE MILLIONS.
The President Authorized to Con-
tract for the Construction
of the Entire Line.

Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 9.-By a decisive
vote OF S6 to 25, the senate voted today
to inaugurate the project Of laying a
cable from the Pacific coast to Ha-
wall. An amendment to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation was
made, giving $5OO,0O1 for beginning the
work on the cable, and authorizing the
president to contract for the entire
work, estimated to cost $3000,000. This
was the first practical result coming
from the intermittant Hawaiian de-
bate lasting more than a year, and re-
newed with intensity last week In
connection with the proposed cable.
The debate of the last few days has
shown the lines of division to be prac-
tically the same as those heretofore
existing on all issues over Hawaii, the
Republican senators urging closer rela-
tionship by cable and ultimately an
nexation; the Democratic senators as
a rule contending against the cable
or other entangling alliances with Ha-
wall. But this party division had nota-
BILE exceptions during the debate, and
was emphasized by the final vote. Six
Democratic senators, Morgan, German,
Hlll, Butler, Call, and White, voted
with the Republican senators and
three Populists, constituting the major
ity for the cable. One Republican SEN
ator, Pettigrew, voted with the "a Dem
ocrats against the cable. All the abb
sent Republicans and two Populists
were paired for the proposition.

WHAT IS HER FATE?
The La Gascogne at 2 This
A. NJ. Unheard From.
Many Theories Advanced For Her
Prolonged Delay----Hope
Still Lingers.

Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 1O.--At 2 a, m. moth
ing has been heard from the French
liner La Gascogne, seven days over
due from Havre. Many different the
orles are advanced for her delay Tn,
La Gascogne from all reports that
other vessels have brought and from
she data of the weather bureau, was
buffeted by cyclonic gales with the
wind blowing from 60 to 100 miles an
aour almost from her first day out.
None of the ships that have put intc
oort here or that have touched at any
'oreign port has seen the La Gascogne.
From Bermuda and the Azores. from
Queenstown and from Havre the story
is the same.
