by Chairman Robinson, of the commit
tee on resolutions, who asked unani-
nous consent to report. This was re-
fused. NJ. J. Bowling, of Minnesota,
was elected. The vote was made
unanimous, on the motion of Gen. Goff,
of Illinois.
Mr.. Bowling is member of the
Minnesota delegation and one of the
most active republican workers of TINT
state.
The committee on. resolutions then
reported the resolution. There was
not even show of fight over the reso-
luton. Nobody raised his voice
against it. When Senator Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, who was in the
chair, put the motion on the passage
of the resolution, loud chorus of ayes
arose. Only three or four feeble noes
were heard when the other side of the
question was put. The resolution in
full has already been given in these
dispatches.

cation of N Murderer.

WICHITA, Kan, June 22.-Charles H.
Smith, alias Ed Smith, alias Cigarette

CRISIS IN ENGLAND.
Csmpbell-Bannerman Resign from tho
Cabinet-Government Defeated.

Campbell-Bannerman Resign from the
Cabinet-Government Defeated.
LONDON, June 22.-The government
was defeated Friday on the motion of
Hon. William ST. John L. Brodericl,
conservative member for the Guilford
division of Surrey, to reduce the salary
of the secretary of war by e1oO on ac-
court of an alleged deficiency in the
army stores and munitions of war,
chiefly cordite. The motion was adopt
ed by vote of 132 to 125.
The general belief expressed is that
the defeat of the government means a
crisis. The cabinet is now sitting, and
it is believed that the ministers will de-
eide upon dissolution at the earliest
possible moment. The defeat was quite
unexpected, as it seemed as if the sit
ting would be devoted to a humdrum
discussion on the army estimates. The
motion was that the war secretarys
salary should be reduced by $500 be-
cause he declined to state the quantity
of reserve ammunition at the command
of the war department in case
of emergency. The announcement Of
the figures of the vote was received
with great applause by the opposition.
| The war secretary, Mr.. Campbell-Ban-
herman, instantly wrote out his resig-
nation, which he forwarded to the
prime minister to hand to the
queen. He feels the defeat. as
personal affront, and resents
its instigat;on by the opposition bench,
to whom he had promised to give the
information sought if expressly called
on to do so. They avoided the respon-
sibility of making the demand, yet
voted against him.
LONDON, June 22.-The secretary of
state for war, Mr.. Cambell-Banner-
man, announced in the house of COM
mons Friday that the duke of Cam
bridge, commander in chief of the
British forces, will resign command of
the army October l. The post, he
added, will not be abolished, but its
functions will be modified.

GREAT FLOW OF GAS.
An Ohio Well Spurts Forth at the Rate of
100000 Feet Daily.

MARTINS FERRY, o., June 25.-The
Gasmire test oil well at Colerain, s
miles west of Martins Ferry, which
commenced pouring gas Saturday
afternoon when the Berea crust
was struck at 1,s7o feet, has been
discharging gas since noon Monday at
the rate of 100000 feet per day. The
volume of gas is increasing and
the roaring is greater than at any
time yet. The gas is flowing 10
feet above the sO-foot derrick, and
there has been continuous and in
creasing spray of oil The boiler was
moved twice Monday to prevent the gas
from igniting. The rig, drillers and
owners are covered with oil. Agents
of the Standard are watching every
movement, and people are hocking to
the well from miles around. Fancy
prices are asked for the land not
leased. The territory is an entirely
new one, and the outlook is hattering.

Elizabeth Fry, this Miss Nightingale of
the village, attended the sick, soothed
the dying, and prepared the dead for
their last resting places, when just such
unselfish services were most needed. She

herself monument in the hearts Of
her people which will last as long as the
mountain borough will last. No prince

We are largely creatures of associa-

instincts of pride maize us desire to be

A Hay ..sa Human Nature.

'.It catches them every time," said q Philadelphia printer, tho other day, who keeps a copy of Burkes Peerage'' in his office. Jones, who, we will say, keeps little hat store up on Columbia avenue, comes in hero and wants me to get him up some tasty design, trademark, that he can place upon his goods. When l show him our regular stock of designs for such a purpose, the chances are that he will turn up his nose at them. Then take down Burko's Peerage' and turn to the proud name of Jones, where all the crests of that illustrious family arc duly pictured forth, with their notices and all the rec ord of their nobility. Jones is fascinated and immediately imagines that ho is in some way connected with some flne old English family. He picks out the crest that most pleascs his eye, and some time after 1t reappears on his hats in Columbia avenue. It is a great scheme, l assure you, and I treasure my Burke's Peerage' as really valuable asset. "-New York Tribune,

was upon the next goal ten feet further on; and so we placed them all.
 '.With basket filled with the balls, took my place ten feet from mamma and threw the first ball to her. She made frantic dive for it and-missed. But 1t was caught by cousin of ours, very athletic young woman, at mammals right feld.' The second ball went on to girl at the left and finally all but one had been played, when mamma surprised us all by catching ball. Of course, she was showered with the fragrant eau de cologne. and she made a great fuss over it's refreshingness, and declared others.
 1.-The nexf stage in the game was for all to throw the ball to the aspirant upon the second goal, who caught as many as she could, letting the others pass over her head to the outfielders. And so on until the game was played. This we found very pretty and satis- factory sport for amateurs who had not trained in the bowling alley, and who have never touched a tennis racket" <
 There is new summer game called lawn golf. It is for those who cannot spare the necessary five miles of ground for golf links. In lawn golf the ball is knocked through wicl1ets into small holes in the ground. It is little like croquet, though different in plan. The wiclsets are arranged to extend all around the ground, one after another, twenty-five in all, and the play is to send the ball through the wicket and into the hole at one shot. If it fails the player goes back again, being allowed three shots to an inning. Time rules the limit of the game.
 In addition to the pretty games here given there is being planned one that will have the net feature of tennis but Lightweight bats will be used instead of raclsets, and another that is only hand-ball but is played on the rebound from the side of a wall constructed for that purpose far from windows or foli- age plants.

til it flies through the target which is held aloft twenty feet away.
 As soon as the ball flies through the hole another player on the other side bats it back, where it is again caught on the racket of the first player and sent back to be played again and again as long as the skill of the player per mits,
 Now it is not easy to send small sphere flying through a hole so far away, so little latitude is allowed. The ball can be bounded upon the ground, or tossed in the air, or other wise knocked about until the player has the aim true. And the target is held by some one on the friendly side of the game who will move it slightly to assist the player. The game is counted by points, ten points making complete number, and each time the ball goes through the hole in the targeta point is scored. The game is both pretty and scientific. And, strange to say, those accustomed to the hard un- certain batting of tennis ball make the poorest players at flower target.
 Field forfeits is another old game re- vived by tho society girl who intro- dueed it and succeeded in getting lot of young. dignifed matrons to play it. This describes her efforts:
 "A number of hollow rubber balls were secured by us. There were four teen in all, and the balls were of the sort that wicked small boys squeeze and fill with water and then squirt out. We utilized the hollowness of the balls but not in this way.We squeezed them in eau de cologne until they were full, though not a drop leaked out. Then we planned the field.
 "We chose the sunniest part of the lawn and had rugs spread down. Then we stationed our players about. Mamma stood upon the first goal, a dear old lady visiting from Boston
