Miss Lewis was one of very remarkable family, a family of brilliant sisters, all of whom have made an impress for good upon the conn., munities in which they have lived. They were, and are, women of broad educa- ton, of unusual cultivation and of the strongest personality. which has always been directed along those lines which tend upward and onward. Miss Lewis was sister also of Mrs. Gabriel Jordan, formerly of Mobile and Montgomery, but who now resides in New York, herself one of the most rarely gifted and cultivated women the south has produced. Miss Lewis had devoted friends in Birmng- ham, to whom her death is an affiiction.

ST. PAUL, April IS. The hearing Of
the impeachment proceedings OF Judge
Ives in the house Of representatives
called ont quite q large attendance,
among the number being many ladies.
The bar Of the state, and especially OF
St. Paul, was also we'll represented to
hear the legal battle which was to de-
termine the character and standing OF
one of the highest officials of the state.
When the house met at 1880 p. m.
Clerk Deakin read the report OF the
majority of the committee, and Mr..
Underleak, chairman of the judiciary
committee, lead off in presenting the
argument for the majority. He made q
plain, conservative statement OF the
evidence and conclusions of the COM
mittee, dwelling upon the 49,.
Grave and Serious Character
of the proceedings. His remarks were
free and brief, and at the conclusion he
made the formal motion for the adop-
ton of the majority report. The minor
ity report was then read and
after some wrangling over mode
of procedure Mr.. Johns made
his argument for impeachment.
The address was an able an eloquent ef-
fort, yet it did not elicit nearly as
hearty or general approval rs did that
of Mr.. Douglas for the adoption of the
minority report. It was apparent that
majority of the house was with the
minority of the committee, and wise
ones predict that not more than third
of the members will vote to impeach.
Upon the conclusion Of Mr.. Douglas
argument Mr.. Underleak moved that
further consideration Of the matter be
postponed for day.
This motion prevailed, and the
house promptly adjourned.
The Meat Inspection Bill.
The McKenny meat inspection bill
was given recommendation to pass by
the house during the morning in com.
mittee of the whole by nearly unani-
NOUS vote. Before it's recommendation
the bill was amended in some particu-
lars, the most important being an ex-
tension Of it's limits to include all
towns of over 80, 900 inhabitants, and a
provision whereby no inspector is al
lowed to- maintain any business con-
nection with any packing house or
stockyard.
On motion Of Mr.. Jacobson the house
agreed to meet hereafter at 8 o'clock
instead of $50. .. ~
Recommended to Pass. In
The house remained on general orders
during the afternoon and recommended
the following bills to pass:
Relating to the articles of incorporation
of certain beneficiary societies.
Relating to courts of justice OF the
peace.
Relating to the redemption Of mortgage
foreclosure.
Relating to the publishing of the opin-
ions of attorney general.

ST. PAUL, April 15.-The house met
at - a. M Saturday, but on account of
the evening session Of Friday there was
barely quorum present when the
house was called to order. The first
business disposed of was to postpone
until Monday night the consideration
Of the Ives impeachment case.
The house then went into committee
of the whole, with Mr.. Feig in the
chair, and a long list of bills on general
orders were disposed Of. There was
quite heated debate over Mr.. Brevig' s
bill relating to newspaper subscript
and it was finally recommended to pass.
The age of consent bill was amended
and sent to the calendar. Senator Nor
CAMS coercion bill was also placed Oh
the calendar after a warm fight, which
resulted in the defeat of the house judi
ciary committees amendments. The
bill now on the calendar is the original
senate file. A score or more other bills
were acted on, the Feig bill to lease
capital lands in Kandiyohi county be-
ing indefinitely postponed.
Work ON the Calendar.
When the house took up the calendar
seven bills were passed, including the
McInnis limitation of actions, over
which there was such a fight several
days ago in committee Of the whole,
and the Mckinney live stock and
dressed meat inspection bill.
There was surprise when the bill to
keep newsboys off the streets during

It had reached the calendar without
opposition and on third reading was at

Messrs. Downs and Ahlstrom defended
the measure, but they; were unable to
stay the current Of opposition and the
bill was defeated by vote of ayes 10
and noes So. Mr.. Bucks bill to ex.

When the age Of consent bill was
reachedit was disposed Of in short or
der. The following amendment, which
differs from the one recommended by
the judiciary committee in that the age
of the female is fixed at IS instead of IA
years, was offered by Mr.. Underleak,
and adopted by the committee: y
If the female is over Is years Of
age and the person perpetrating such
act is under the age of IL years, such
female shall be punished by imprison-
ment in the state prison for not more
than seven years." =.

Wales has learned the difference be-
tween free trade and protection, SO far
as tin plate is concerned, and it has
been declared publicly by English trade
journals that hereafter Wales could not
find market for her tin plate in this
country. We can make tin plate to just
as good advantage as Wales can, unless
the product be put on the free list, and
even the Dem ooratio party will be shy
of taking such step as that. San
