a colony of Cornishmen at Patchouc,
working in the silver mines. AS they

Manufacturing is also increasing

her own manufacturing within five

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
1t Is Thought the Members Will Favor
Gold Bond Issue.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 12-The ways
and means committee resumed considera-
ton OF the last presidential message the
bond issue shortly after 10 o'clock. Secre-
tary Carlisle was present in accordance
with the wishes of the committee expressed
yesterday and read to the committee the
contract between the government and the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT syndicate for the eX-
change of United States bonds for gold.
The hearing was behind closed DOORS
All the members of the committee were
present except two Republicans Dalzell
and Gear. The first step taken was the
adoption of resolution pledging the mem
bers to secrecy concerning the secretary $
statement and outsiders were carefully eX-
cluded. Secretary Carlisle proceeded to
read typewriter statement of his con-
tract and the reasons which dictated the
terms of it. After the secretary had fin
ished his reading he was piled with many
questions from the members and a general
informal discussion ensued.
Shortly after o'clock the committee took
a recess until o'clock. A subcommittee
of five was appointed to formulate plan
Its members Messrs. Wilson, Turner
Bryan Dem), Payne and Hopkins Oil,
Rep.).
Mr.. Bryan is free silver man and the
other two Democrats are supporters of the
administration.
Mr.. Mcmillan was named the third
will act in his stead. II is prophesied by
members of the committee that resolu-
ton for a gold bond issue will be framed
but the committee will not be unanimous
in its support.
The chairman of the committee left it
to the Republicans to choose their men,
bers of the subcommittee, and they elected
Messrs. Reed and Hopkins, Mr.. Payne re-
firing.
After two hours discussion the committee
had not finished it's considera ton of the
contract nor began to talk of any agree
ment. The talk was general and discon-
nected, but good feeling was said to pre-
vail, and Mr.. Cochran. who stepped from
the committee room for a moment sal
the prospect for agreement was good. 1t
was also said by a Democratic member
that the Republican members had refrained
from obtruding partisanship into the pre-
ceedings to any marked extent.
Secretary Carlisle left the room at 1890
after a hearing of two hours and a half
and the committee continued it's session.

day resulted in decision, by a vote of to

authorized and directed to receive at any
United States mint from any citizen of the
United States silver bullion of standard

YeaS-Noorhees, Harris, Vest, Jones
(Ark), Jones (Nev), and White.
Nays-McPherson, Morrill,, Sherman, Alli-

There was comparatively little discussion
of the question after the suggestion for
such a report made, and it soon be-
came apparent that there was an UNDER

of the committee as to the line of action
to be pursued, and they afterward stated

such offers and wants would be kept by
said secretary, and who would inform
parties where the articles wanted could be
had. Try this and you will be surprised

CONDUCIVE TO HAPPINESS.
Judge McAdam on Cooking and Ma
FimOny.

The relation of cooking to matrimony and
divorce is one which could be explained bet
ter by records of Oklahoma than by any
magisterial experience derived in this por-
ton of our mundane sphere.
Matrmony is induced by inclnation; di-
yorce by dissatisfaction Each is prompted
by desire to change, sometimes to better, ex-
listing conditions. Good cooks are certainly
priced. A good cook ought to attract her
husband to his home; while poor one
might influence him to seek other places as
an antdote to digestive disorders.
Good cooking is certainly conducive to
happiness; ordinarily it encourages and for
titles marriage, and obviates divorce. But
there are so many peculiar people in the
world. controlled by such various hobbies,
whims and idiosyncrasies, that it is difficult

AN OVERHEAD VIADUCT.
Plans for 1t Arc Being Prepared by Cit!
Engineer phillips.

EussuocT tutiiipS.
Plans for an overhead viaduct from
the western end of the Linden Street
bridge to the old Swetland Street bridge
are being prepared under the direction
Of the city engineer. Detailed mention
Of the scheme was made in The Trib-
une several weeks ago, when II was
stated that the proposed grade on SWEET
land street was impractical and would
render the bridge little more than a
colossal and expensive monument.
The overhead v!aduct, as being
planned,will not permit direct approach
from the territory beneath 1t, but this
obstacle will be overcome by provi-
sions for a masonry sub-approach from
the alley west of and parallel to Sixth
street. The plans when completed will
show this sub-approach south of the
bridge line and extending eastward at
slight grade, thence notthward and
connecting with the bridge proper at
the abutment.
Consider 1t a Serious Problem.
Many councilmen and West Side resi-
dents, especially those having business
interests along Swetland street, consid-
er the proposed grading of SHETLAND
street a serious problem. If the dip"
between Seventh and Eighth streets is
filled, they claim 1t will create many
thousand dollars of damages; again,
they contend that without a fill the
grade will not be feasible unless the
filing is SO great as to virtually render
useless the brewery and other proper
ties affected.
Fill or no fill. 1t is claimed that the
city would waste its money to purchase
the necessary 1O-foot strip of land along
the northerly side of the street.
Urge Immediate Acceptance.
The viaduct advocates urge immedi-
ate acceptance Of their ideas, and with
some reason, as 1t is rumored that
within two years the Robinsons pro-
pose building several tall brewery
structures along the viaduct line. In
such case the overhead plan would be
prevented for all time. unless the city
felt itself able to pay from $15O,O00 to
100000 for the brewery property.

SINGERS DID NOT S|Ne|
Season Of Summer Opera at the Park
Ends Suddenly.
MANAGER LAME ASSAULTED


Like the harps that once through
Tara's halls. the tuneful music OF the
opera "Amorita." which was so de-
lightfully heard Monday night. at Lau-
rel Hin Park pavilion, was as silent
last night as II Its soul were dead.
Last week the company sang 1.-The Bo-
hemian Girl" and on Saturday night a
weeks salary wac due the singers, but
the ghost did not walk: Manager Laine
promised to pay them on Monday. and
all went we'll. Monday came and no
shadow of the proverbial ghost was
anywhere. However, the singers did
not make stern demand on Monday, ex-
pecting that for sure yesterday Man
aSer Laine would be on hand with their
salaries.
When the hour arrived for the cur
tain to ring up last night, Mr.. Scarbor-
ough. leading tenor. and Miss Gilman.

chorus group. waited behind the scenes
and Informed Mr.. Latre that word
with him would be timely. The man.
ager arrived and was asked when the
silver question was going to be settled.
He asked them for few days of grace,
but they were resolute. and Mr.. Laine
left them for the time being. He went
out among the audience and had talk
with General Manager Beetem, OF the
Traction company requesting tenn
porary loan of $3.50 to pay the company
and let the music ring. Mr.. Beetem did
not have that amount with him, but
promised to give Manager Laine the
money in the morning. That would not
do, and the result was the refusal of the
company to sing unless the money were
paid before they went upon the stage.
They Used Their Fists.
A scene followed. Comedian Adams
jumped up and made pass at Man
ager Lame but railing between them
prevented any bloodshed. Mr.. Scar
borough took a hand in to quiet the
debate, but had to apply vigor-
Gus left handler to Mr. Laine before
anything like order was regained. Mr..
Beetem IS authority for the statement
in regard to Manager Laine's request
for loan.
Miss Gilman gave very breezy in
terview concerning the trouble, and
she said that the only time she ever
regretted that God made her woman
was when Manager Laine notified the
company that he could not pay them.
She said, "If only had pair of bloom
ers on, I would have smashed in his
face; the only thing that saved him
from my fists was the fact that l am
in petticoats.'
She said he brought the company ON
here with the promise that the Scran-
ton Traction company would pay the
expenses. Mr.. Scarborough corrobor-
ated her statement. They have not re.
ceived a cent of salary, and now some
of the chorus girls are penniless and
stranded away from home.
Benefit for Choral Girls,
Miss Gilman and Mr.. Scarborough
have decided to 60 back to New. York
this morning. AS the reporter was
leaving Mr.. Scarborough said with a
sarcastic smile, You might suggest in
your paper that benefit be given for
the chorus girls. for they have not a
cent and cannot get position scarcely
anywhere now, as all opera companies
are filed"
