shoulders OF their LIEUTENANT BENJAMIN n.
fellows until they reached the top.
Three battledags had been made fast
ON the parapet, and again and again
the men around them were shot down.
But the deadlock could not last for
ever; it lay with Benjamin to break it.,
During this crisis he ooolly smoked q
pipe freshly lit just as the assault be-
gan. When the flags appeared above the
parapet, he resorted to hand grenades.
A captain Of the Highlandezs held a
blazing brand, while the brave lieuten-
ant cut the fuses Of small shells, lit
them at the brand and then tossed the
missiles one by one over into the luck
less crowd in the ditch. There! That
will cool them of some, = he would say
blafdly, as he sent sputtering shell on
its deadly errand. His cannon swept the
ditch with canister once or twice, but
fresh assailants poured in until it was
crowded. For the fellows penned up
there was no way Of escaping the muir
derous hand -grenades except by retreat.
This at length they did sullenly, leav-
ing the three flags on the parapet. The
prisoners taken from the ditch outnum-
bered the whole garrison two to one.
benjamin estimated that l, 900 Of Long
streets men were cut down between the
starting point and the parapet Of the

Make cake by a reliable recipe and
follow it closely. ........
I, Sift the flour before measuring, again
with the baking powder, and the same
with cream of tartar. -
In measuring a half spoon fill level

lengthwise SO as to have it exact.
Beat butter and sugar to cream, and
add yolks of eggs, beating thoroughly.
Beat the egg whites separately, adding
after all the flour is stirred in.
F.: Dissolve soda in a teaspoonful of boil

should be picked, washed and dried the
day before making. Dust with -four be-
fore using. Raisins should be steamed

quickly.
Line pans with buttered paper. Sew

The oven should be just right for tho
particular kind of cake you are baking.

Being unable to see beyond his immedi-

was at one time famous throughout the

at that time under arrest in Utica, N Y.
Ehinger was induced to come to Chicago
some days ago and paid $500 good money
for parcel alleged to contain $1,000 of
green goods" When he arrived home he
found that the parcel contained one or

without bail until Ehinger arrives.

Twenty-Seven Bills to Regulate and Control

Omaha Neb, Feb. 1O.-A special to the
Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says: No less
than q bills have been introduced in
the upper house of the Legislature, for SUI
pervison, regulation and control of the
several corporate interests of the state.
There are bills fixing the charge of sleep
ing and dining cars, reducing telegraph
and telephone rates, regulating transfers on
street railways, taxing insurance compa-
MES and reducing stock yard commissions.
Pawnbrokers are attacked and grain COM
mission brokers promise To be routed en-
tirely. Foreign corporations come in for
a liberal share of attention and the rail
road companies are drawn into the melee
by one or two anti-pass bills The sleep
ing car companies are attacked from sew
eral directions and one of the five bills
already introduced would if enforced,
work great injury to the sleeping car COM
panies. These bills compel sleeping car
companies to maintain numerous Offices
in the state and limit rates.

The Session of Congress Rapidly
Drawing to a Close
THE GOLD BOND MEASURE
Majority Of Republican House Members
Against II
Appropriation Bills VIII Occupy the Greater
Portion of the Time in the Senate
House Programme.

Washington Feb. 10.-Tomorrow the
House enters upon the last three weeks of
the session. Although the President S
special message relating to the bond issue,
sent to Congress on Friday, is being con-
sidered by the Ways and Means Com
mittee, there is no present expectation
that any effort will be made to pass bill
authorizing gold bonds during the coming
week. The majority of the Republican
members are against it, and without
their aid the Democratic leaders believe
it is useless waste of time to consider
such measure in the House. The week
will be devoted to routine business.
Tomorrow the consideration of the leg
islative bill will be resumed, and if not
completed it will go over until Wednesday
or Thursday by agreement, having been
set apart for the bills reported from the
Committee on District of Columbia. After
the legislative appropriation bill is dis
posed of the naval appropriation bill Will
be taken up, and it is expected it VIII
consume the remainder of the week if u
determined effort is made by the naval
committee to provide for the construction
of the new cruisers they have recon-
mended. The general deficiency appro-
priation, the last of the regular bills, is in
process of preparation, and If the naval
bill is disposed of before the end of the
week it will be taken up.
The greater part OF the week in the
Senate will necessarily be devoted to the
appropriation bills. The postoffice will
be the first remaining Enacted upon to
receive the attention of the Senate. This
bill will, in all probability, develop sui
ticient debate to consume two days time,
II not more.
The Indian bill carries numerous
amendments. Many of them will call for
amendments and others will be attached.
The discussion on this bill will probably
open up the entire question OF the man
agement of affairs in Indian Territory,
and this is a subject which has received
much attention at the hands of several
senators. 1t is expected that the agricul-
tural bill will be taken up when the In
dian bill is disposed Of, if time be left.
There will probably be spasmodic eff
forts during the week to get up other
than appropriation bills. Senator Butler
has given notice of an intention to move
to take up the Pooling bill after the Post
office bill shall be disposed of. Senator
Allen is also anxious to call up his reso
luton for the investigation OF the Ala
bama elections.
Should the Bankruptcy bill not be dis
placed by the Pooling bill the chances for
its further consideration are very slight.
Senator George, its especial champion,
says that he has faint hope for it, but
admits that The fight against it is SO bit
ter and so persistent as to render the
prospect doubtful.
The possibilities include more or less
reference to the financial and Hawaiian
questions.
