WASHINGTON, Feb 23.-Members OF
the house who are supposed to know
something of the purpose of President
Cleveland do not credit the reports that
ne has any intention to call an extra
session OF congress. They do not claim
to know what are the intentions of the
president, but they argue from circum.
stances that an extra session is improb-

Much capital has been made of O re.
mark which the president made to q
party of members elect who called upon
him, asking them how they would like
TO be called to Washington ON the 18th
of March. The general opinion is that
Mr. Cleveland was merely joking, or il
he had any design in the question, it
was diplomatic one. They surrnise
that President Cleveland does not in
tend an extra session of congress, and
he may have intended to spur congress
on to finish its work, by limiting that

Includes All Survivors Of Indian Wars Up
to 1856.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s3.-The status of
pensioners of Indian wars is discussed
in q report made by Representative
Tawney of Minnesota, upon the bill in
troduced by Representative Hermann
OF Oregon, and favorably reported from
the committee of pensions Its purpose
is to enlarge the scope of the act grant
ing service pensions to the survivors
OF the wars from 1882 to IS42, SO that
1t will include the veterans OF all recog-
nized Indian wars up to 1946 In many
regiments serving in these wars the
rolls contain repetitions, caused by re-
enlistment in different companies, and
this, it is estimated, will reduce the
number Of beneficiaries at least 700,
making the total number of the surviv-
ors OF these wars about 1000. Most of
these old survivors are in needy cir
cumstances, while all are in old age,
and as estimated by the commissioner
of pensions, the average pensionable
period cannot extend beyond about
seven years hence. Many of these aged
men were omitted from the act pension
ing survivors of Indian wars between
1882 and 1842, and for this reason the
present bill 10 more just since it includes
all the survivors of the recognized In
dian wars prior to 1856, II.

THE TRlLBY FASHION,
Pretty Women VIII Go barefoot to Bath.
In fhn NJ

Pretty Women Will Go Barefoot to Rsthe
In the Sea Next Summer.
1t is said that fashion next summer
will kindly permit ladies at seaside re-
sorts to batho without stockings, and
stylish young women are already having
their feet prepared for next seasons
campaign. Many feet which look Just
too captivating for anything in shoes
and stockings arc not altogether lovely
when exposed to view, and feminine
owners of such defective extremities are
now invoking the aid of the pedicurists
to make them presentable. Civilization
and high shoes have inflicted many
wrongs upon the human understanding,
and many ladies recognize that If they
are to make impressions upon the mas
culine heart as well as upon the sand
with their feet next summer they must
put themselves upon better footing.
There arc comparatively few Trilby
feet in real life, few which are perfect
in form and entirely free from blemish.
Nevertheless Du Maurier's RHAPSODY
over the beauty of Trilby's foot may be
to certain extent responsible for the
general note of preparation for tho ex.
hlb1tlon OF feminine feet next summer.
Many women who have read his novel
may be anxious to prove that they have
something in that line not entirely un-
worthy of admiration. And why should
not pretty foot inspire the poet and
the artist quite as much as q hand or a
lady's eyebrow?
Great execution has been done with
the feminine foot through all the cen
turies. Even with its charms concealed
by shoes and stockings it has proved
one Of the most formidable of womanIv
weapons With it woman has lured man
on and ON and ON, and with il, when
she has wearied Of playing with him,
she has administered the coup de grace.
But when it shines forth next summer
in all its loveliness, unadorned by any
thing but its own beauty, it will be sim
ply irresistible No bachelor will be safe
at the seaside, The most hardened and
cynical will capitulate at the sight of
the thousands of snowy feet pattering
over the sandy beach in unconventional
freedom or demurely presented for mas
culine inspection and approval -Balti-
