New Orleans in the SplendOr of
the Carnival
FAIRY TALES ON WHEELS
Elaborate Displays Made in the Kings
Parade
The Streets Of the Southern City Thronsed
With Thousands Of Masqleraders.
Great Attendance

New Orleans, Feb. 26.-New Orleans
had magnificent crowd and magnifi-
cent carnival, and although the predictions
for both days were for cloudy weather,
the sunshine made a glorious fight and
scored triumph over science. The Rex
parade took place and was composed of
twenty gorgeous floats to the illustra-
tions of the fantastic fairy tales.
OUTSIDE of the regular procession the
number of private floats and miscella-
neous maskers was much larger than
usual, keeping the spirit of carnival alive
throughout the day.
Some of the unattached paraders made
an elaborate display, burlesque on the
old volunteer fire department eing speci-
ally noteworthy. The attendance was the
largest and most distinguished in years,
including Governor Jackson of Iowa, ex-
Governor Howard of Wisconsin, exGov-
ernor Davis of Rhode Island, Ex-Governor
Hubbard of Texas Senator Stephen b.
Elkins, Henry B. Plant and the heads of a
dozen railroad systems, besides number
of excursionists ON their way to and from
Mexico and California.
There were more handsome young ladies
in the streets than have been seen here at

called and as each Senator's name was
called he had the privilege to name the
bill to be considered.
There was spirited controversy when
Hill of New York objected to a bill urged
by Gallinger of New Hampshire as to a
Washington suburban railway.
Gallinger declared the New York Sena-
tor was inspired by pique, and he would
therefore object to all other business.
Harris also criticised Hills course.
There was an exchange of personalities,
during which Hill declared that Quay was
backing a certain local railroad bill in the
interest of Philadelphia street railway
syndicate.
Gallinger withdrew his general objec-
tion and business proceeded again, and
the following bills were passed;
Protecting public forest reservations; ;
to open to settlement and provide for the
disposal of the public lands at Fort Nc
Pherson military reservation and Camp
Sheridan, Neb. for public building at
Oakland, Cal, to cost 5000, 900; for the
relief of the chapter of Calvary cathedral,
Sioux Falls, S. D.; for the relief of SUI
ferers by the wreck of the United States

the most prominent lawyers and judges
in east Tennessee. He Is a leading
member of the Southern Methodist
Church in Chattanooga. In legal business
and social circles he stands high, and his
statements, says the Chattanooga Press,
are regarded of special weight because of
his venerable character, he being now 67
years old.
He has held several prominent positions
in legislative and judicial capacity, hav-
ing served as membe of the Southern
Congress at Richmond during the war, and
since that time as Judge of the Chancery
Court, one of the highest offices in Judi
cial practice next to the Supreme Court.
He was admitted to the bar in 1850. In
1855 he was elected to the State Legs-
lature, but declined a reelection.
After his removal to East Tennessee he
was appointed Special Chancellor by Gov
ernor Taylor and filed the office two years.
He has successfully practiced before the
Supreme Court of the United States for
years.
In recent years, owing to the heavy work
he has performed, he has been subject to
nervousness, and his attention has been
called at various times, both by friends
and physicians to the need OF foritifying
himself against physical collapse. His

attention was called to Pane's celery
compound as vitalizing force. He
sought and obtained this valuable aid and
to his friends he recommended the use
of the remedy for shattered nerves.
Overhearing his conversation, a friend
asked him to write down his experience
for the use of others so afflicted. In re-
sponse he wrote as follows:
Dear Sir-In obedience to your request
I state some of my personal knowledge of
the value of Paine's celery compound az
a medical remedy for certain Affections
and diseases, as follows, namely:
Judging from my own experience, it
is a frst-class remedy to restore the
nervous system when broken down or i'm
paired from overwork of mind or body
revivifying the energies. 1t strengthens

A FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
The Senate Puts In Another Big Day Of
Talk

Washington, Feb. 26.-In the Senate a
financial discussion was imminent when
that body met today. The rapid work
done at the session last night had cleared
away most of the formal matter preced-
ing the important provision for issuing
500, 900, 900, of certificates of indebtedness
to relieve the treasury deficiencies. The
resolution concerning the Mexican free
zone, with provisions to include the entire
length of the zone was agreed to.
Mr.. Voorhees,, from the committee on
finance, offered an amendment to the
sundry civil bill embodying the recent
resolution of Mr.. Wolcott for participa-
tion by the United States in an Intcrna-
tional monetary conference. Mr.. Voorhees,
asked that the amendment go to the ap-
propriations committee for speedy action
in order that it be acted upon as a part
of the pending sundry civil bill and this
reference was made.
SIS it expected that Senate commits
soners will be chosen before the adjourn
ment?" asked Mr.. Hawley, Republican Of
Connecticut.
''That is the understanding believe" I"
responded Mr.. VOORHEES,.
The snndry civil bill was then taken up.
Mr.. Cockrell offered a committee amend
ment which was agreed to, appropriating
$4,000 to Colonel Ainsworth, chief of the
bureau of records and pensions of the
War Department, to reimburse him for
legal expense resulting from the Ford
theater disater; an additional $4,000 for
heirs of two additional victims of the
Ford theater disaster was also agreed to.
Berry, Democrat of Arkansas, chairman
of the Committee on Public Lands, spoke
against the proposed committee amend
ment reducing the appropriation for pro-
teeting timber lands from $780, 600 to $50,
900. Berry urged it's enlargement and
moved an increase to $l20,000. German
opposed an increase.
$50 gross was the abuse, so useless the
offices, said German that Congress cut
down the appropriation to $40, 900, and /
regret to say the officer in authority ex-
ceeded that appropriation by $45, 0OO"
Wolcott was even more vigorous in his
denunciation of this service. Forty thous-

THE SAMOAN QUESTION
President Cleveland Sends Correspondence to
Congress


Washington, Feb. 26.-The President
to-day sent to the Senate in response to a
resolution, copies of all the communica-
tions relating to Samoa received since the
ratification of the Berlin treaty by Judge
Henry c. Ide and exConsul Blackjack.
In q communication of September 10th
last Judge Ide complains bitterly of the
efforts of the consuls to administer the
affairs of the islands without con sultation
of the treaty but prior determination to
dictate to the President and himself. He
closes thus:
"In the midst of the difficulties,
changes of the situation are, it seems to
me, far wiser not to spend our time in
discussing the original treaties on the
question OF abstract right, but for all to
join together to try to accomplish some
thing for this wretched country"

A Well Known Topeka Singer Imposed

Mrs. George Parkhurst, who was ad-

apprehension as to the nature of the en-
tertainment.
Mrs Parkhurst was called on at her

and shown the advertisement. She said:
yesterday man called here and en-
gagged me to sing last evening. He pre-
sented his card and a friend present said
he was a newspaper man, so l thought it

unconstitutional
Is the Plea Made by Opponents
of Income Tax,
Through Argument of Attorney
in the Supreme Court.
SPRINGER DECISION
1t is Argued Does Not Apply
Now.
SPRINGER DECISION
Every Inch of Ground is Being
Carefully Covered.

WASHINGTON, March 8-Thers was an
unusual attendance of spectators in the
supreme court of the United States to-
day when the court convened Mr..
Guthrie resumed his argument for the
appellants in the income tax casea He
took up the case where he left off yes
terday, discussing the bearing of the
fifth amendment of the constitution
upon the case, and also referred
to other constitutional provisions.
Referring to the fifth constitutional
amendment, he said its provision that no
person should be deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of law
had been for the protection of people
against undue incrOachments. He con-
tended any law that would impose tax
on one class of people and not on anoth-
er was in direct contradiction of this
amendment,
He then returned to the discussion of
the question of taxation of corporations
in different way from which individuals
were taxed and said this was the point of
transcendant importance in the case, re-
asserting that the property of any corpo-
ration was the property of the individ-
dAls composing it,.
He asserted that if congress was per-
mitted to discriminate against corpora
tions as in the income law, they would
virtually have the power to nullify the
right of states to create corporations.
He closed with an appeal for equality in
taxation.
Mr.. Seward also spoke on behalf of
the appellants. He argued against the
constitutionality of the income tax He
devoted himself to the discussions of the
questions, as to whether the tax was "a
direct tax, and argued that if it was. it
must. under the revision of the consti-
tuition, be apportioned according to pop
ulation.
Referring to the decision in the
Springer ease upholding the income
tax, he said it was the decision of loyal
court, made to sustain law enacted to
maintain the government at critical
time. But now the circumstances were
quite different, with the country enjoy
ing peace. He felt that the Springer
decision would not operate as bar to
the prosecution of this case.
