to his aid.
Please, sir, she said smartly,

different committees, but it died
aborning. A year ago Senator Hill
submitted amendments revising the
rules in accordance with modern pro-
ceedure. and spoke upon them last
December. making the broad state
ment that the rules must be regarded
as insufficient and defective in failing
to provide any method for bringing a
measure TO a vote except by "mani-
nous consent'-by the approval Of
every Senator. The only limit to de-
bate is the endurance of the speakers.
The Senate has no power 10 compel a
vote so long as a single Senator pro-
poses to speak. Nor need the debate
be relevant 10 the question before the
Senate. Mr.. Hill said: 1T may be
upon any point or any subject which
occurs to the speaker. no matter how
foreign it may be TO the real question
involved. and in such discussion he is
not confined to an expression OF his
own views. but he may read TO the
Senate as much as he pleases from
books. magazines, periodicals and
papers Of every description ad infn-
itum, together with statistics, figures
and memoranda Of every character
the Senate being powerless to prevent
him and being the sole judge Of the
propriety of his action.
IL is folly to plead that this unlim-
tied power Of obstruction has some
times been used to defeat the passage
Of bad legislation. Where it has been
used in that way for good once it has
been used for the evil purpose Of
thwarting the will of the people a
thousand times. No legislative body
in the world tolerates such burlesque
on intelligent and responsible conduct
Of public business, except possibly the
English House Of Lords, which is
scarcely the model for the Senate Of a
democratic republic.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.

The passing Of the dividend of the
Canadian Pacific railroad recalls to
the Boston Herald the history of this
corporation, whose property is practi-
cally a gift to the stockholders from
the Canadian government.
Tic was chartered in 1881 and it was
then made the recipient of S25,OOO,OOO
in the shape of a subsidy, 25,OO0,oO0
acres Of land and 71S miles of railroad
which had been built by the Domin-
ion government at an expense Of $50
100000. Three years later the govern
ment loaned $4,000. 600 to the company
and took S2O.OOO,OO0 of per cent
bonds and a lien on the railroad lands
for it's security.
While this corporation has been re-
ceiying such enormous sums in the
shape of government aid in one hand,
it has been paying dividends to its
stockholders with the other, and it has
at the same time increased its capital
ization from S10Oo0o.O0O to S17l0Oo,-
600.
The suspension of dividends at this
time while due in a measure to hard
times, is also an Indication that the
policy Of paying dividends cut Of cap
ital furnished by the government has
come to be recognized as one that can
not 90 ON longer without serious en-
barrassment TO the government
finances. 1t was the softest kind of
snap for the stockholders. but rather
a oue-sided arrangement in which the
taxpayers were mot in il"

Grand Jury to Sit-Unusually Large
Number of DisordsrlieS

Friday night between the hours OF
eight and nine o'clock the residence OF
Or. Alexander, at Leatherwood, was
entered by thief in the absence OF DR..
Alexander and wife, who had gone out
TO call upon some friends. When they
returned they found that an entrance
had been effected by removing a screen
from one Of the windows. An eXamins'
ton revealed the fact that ladies' gold
watch was missing.
The police authorities in this city
were Immediately notified. Suspicion
uointed to a colored man named r. n.
G. Thomas as the thief. T homas was
formerly in the employ of DR.. Alex
ander. and was familiar with the prem
ises. 1t was he who placed the screen
upon the window, and it was thought
that he al so removed it. Since leaving
the doctors employ Thomas has been
working at Altenheim.
Last night Officer Michaels went out
TO Altenheim and placed Thomas under
arrest. Thomas was only taken after a
desperate struggle, in which the cloth
ing was almost torn from his body.
When the officer aiighted from the W..
& E. G. motor with his prisoner, Thomas
threw a pocketbook under the car. II
was picked up and found TO contain the
missing watch He was placed In
the lookup, and this morning will be
taken before Justice Phillips for pre-
liminary hearing.

The movement to establish a bowl
ing league to play on the alleys at Sci

spring and summer, is assuming tan
gible shape. Seven clubs have already
signifed their intention of entering
the league, and there will be eight and
possibly ten teams represented. The
Park Association and Mr.. Chas. Sci
bert Will probably offer handsome
prizes TO be contested for by the clubs.
The representatives of the different
clubs viii hold a meeting at Seibert's
next Thursday. Mr. Seibert has been
very active in his efforts to start the
league. and has enlisted in the move
ment some of the best bOwlers in the
city.
The Musee League will probably
consist of twelve clubs, and $500 will
be distributed in prizes Many of the
clubs will enter both leagues, which
Will necessitate the playing of two
games each week. Next Thursday
afternoon and evening the South Side
League will give a banquet at Mozart
Park. Among other things the pro-
posed new league will be discussed.
The games will be played on the Har
vest Home and Mozart alleys.
If Eli the leagues are organized there

the garniture is completed by punches

many women who have few dresse and
want to have their best pretty and
dressy without resort to rich materials
or extreme effects. A church dress,
the sort of thing a girl in limited cir
cumstances might wear at the church
festival. at Sunday dinner at her
boarding house, or for her simple little

basket cloth in blue and black. The
close-fitting bodice has a little front
let in of blue silk, the edges of the
front being set under black soutache
braid. The folded collar is of the blue
and perhaps there is little fold of
blue at the wrists. There is no reason
why such a gown might not be made
with a plain front buttoning under the
silk. and the silk can be removed,
leaving an Office dress with just the
two bows of soutache for finish in front
and may be the folded collar Of the
silk.

THE TRACK AT GOLFERS.
Cole UHum Will Be in the City Next
Week.

Cole Ullum VIII Be in the City Next
Week.
The visit of Mr.. Cole Ullum, the we'll
known pool seller Of St. Louis, to this
city and Pitsburg last fall, will be re-
called by all persons who take an in
terest in horse racing. Mr. Ullum had
a scheme to construct a running track
at Golfers Station. Many persons
thought the project entirely imprac-
ticable. but others were enthusiastic in
their opinions that it would prove a
success. Mr.. Ullum visited Golfers
Station and then departed. Nothing
has been heard from him since that
time. and this fact has given rise to
the general belief that the matter was
to be dropped.
Such, however. was not the case. 1t
appears that Mr.. Ullum was very ia
vorably impressed with the advantages
of the location and fully intends TO
carry ont his project A letter was re-
Ceived from him last week by a well
known Wheeling gentleman, in which
Mr. Ullum states that he will be here
next week, to complete all arrange
ments for enclosing grounds and con-
sructing a course.
1t is Mr.. Ullum's intention TO try to
arrange for daily excursion trains from
Pittsburg and Wheeling and inter
mediate points. The season will open
about June 18th, and continue until
the middle of September, and possibly
longer. Some of the fastest steppers
IN the country will be secured.
Ii is understood that the Wheeling
gentlemen who were negotiating with
the State Fair Association for a spring
meet ON the Fair Grounds, learned Of
Mr. Ullum's plans, and that this
knowledge caused them to. abandon
