END OF RECESS.
Legislature Will Resume
Work Tomorrow.
Talk of a Short Session is Al
ready Heard.
Still Long Docket of Unfinished
Business in Both Branches.

This Is the last day of the recess OF the
General Assembly and tomorrow fore
noon at IL O'Clock the business of the
January session of 1896 will be resumed.
There are stacks of bills on the files of
all the important committees, and some
interesting days at the State House may
be expected between now and the ad-
journment without day.
ON the other hand there is nothing
which might 5e called an issue, and ask
any membe OF the Assembly what that
oody is gong to do and he will say that
be doesn't know of anything OF import
ance and that it will undou bte5ly be a
short session, This short session talk is
periodical and there was just as much of
1t year ago, but the Assembly of 1895
was in session up to the last Saturday
preceding the inauguration at Newport
and the necessity of passing the bill for
the adoption OF the revised statutes
didn't account for IL altogether.
At present there are several bills pend
ing for a constitutional convention and
DIR. Garvin OF Gum mberland will make the
most of his few last days in the House of
Representatives to bring one of them TO a
head.
The city of Providence Is very much in
terested I'm several matters introduced by
Solicitor Colwell in the early days Of the
session and the bill for police commits
sion and the bill for an act authorizing
the pay of policemen and firemen when
off duty are yet to be disposed Of. Both
have been discussed at public hearings
granted by the House judiciary committee.
And of still greater interest.to Provi-
dence is the bill for an act which will
give to the board of registration the
powers of returning board. This Is to
be introduced between now and adjourn
ment.
Senator Freeman, chairman of the Sem
ate judiciary committee, said today that
there is no probability that the passage
of either OF the caucus reform bills will
become laws. The committees won't
recommend their passage because they are
too complicated and call for more elab-
crate machinery than that of the Aus
tralian ballot election system. IL would
cost the state Senator Freeman thinks,
ESQ, 900 annually to adopt either of them.
The Senate Judiciary committee may
recommend the passage OF the itinerant
vendor bill but does not approve OF the
"Medicine and Poison" act as asked fer
by the druggists. The chief objections TO
the latter measure is that IL states whom
the Governor shall appoinJ TO tho state
board Of pharmacy aud thus render his
power Of appointment not much more
than nominal.
The special committee on exempting
property from taxation OF which Repre-
sentative Henry Il. Root Is chairman has
several new bills TO present.

better than subordination OF perjury.
The law of self-defense the rights OF q
party attacked to defend himself were all
gone over carefully and the jury was in
formed that no matter what Lingane
might have written about Cook the latter
was not justified in attacking the defend
ant on that account.
What were considered dangerous weapons
and when certain articles of defense, not
ordinarily deemed such, were SO con-
sidered, was carefully explained to the
jury.
So carefully and fully did Judge VII
bur review the law and testimony in the
case that several special charges which
counsel for the defense had prepared were
withdrawn. In regard to one of these

the case; that they might hold the State

the trial had been a long ana expensive
one and the State as well as the defend

whether the defendant is guilty or not.
In closing his honor said he would be
required to keep the jury locked up q

tains Loss by Thieves.
When W. III. Smith opened his little
cigar and candy store in the northwest
corner of the new Grosvernor building
on Weybosset street at 7:30 o'clock this
morning he found his cash drawer, n slot
machine and several empty boxes on the
floor. This was, OF course, a surprise Co
him, hut not SO much as that of finding
that 500 cigars had been taken from n
show case and several boxes OF candy
from the shelves.
Mr. Smiths store Is but little more
than n shanty, built into tie heavy
stagings which surround the GrosyernCr
building and has an entrance on the
corner OF Weybosset street and Post Office
court. For the sake of convenience Mr..
Smith has little door I'm the rear, ana II
was through this door that the thieves
effected an entrance.
The door is made in two parts. being
about 1S inches wide and perhaps five
feet in height, and cut in two crosswise.
so that either the top or bottom can be
opened. This morning the lower portion
OF the door was found open, having been
forced from Its hinges. The thieves must
have come In from Dyer street and then
walked under the stsging TO the little
door, which is hidden from Weybosset
street, anu the only means that the police
have oi knowing tnat the rear door OF the
store is fastened u TO enter from Dyer
street. The case is in the hands Of the de-
tectives.

NEW CANADIAN FLAG.

The selection of a design for a Cana
dian flag is still an interesting topic to
citizens of the new Dominion. A re-
cent suggestion comes from a resident
of Toronto who advocates the placing
of a single large white feur-de-lis up
on the fly of the red or blue ensign of
Britain. He refers to the fleur-de-lis,
says the New York Times, as the EN-
blem of old France-France as it was
in 1759-France when it possessed and
governed Canada''-and his idea is to
commemorate by this monarchical en-
blem the French-Canadian part in the
scheme Of confederation. In the Union
Jack" he says, ARE the combined SYM
bols of England, Scotland and Ireland:
their sons want nothing more. Let us
now place on our British ensign the
insignia Of France of the eighteenth
century, out of gratitude and respect
for her sons and thier descendants,
who did so much and so we'll for La
NouveIle France, and have so recently
shown that they are ready to do as
much and as well for our grand COM
mon country-Canada."

THAT RISE IN WHEAT.

Chairman Butler Gives His Views on
the subject.
WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina has
given out the following as to the cause
of the rise in the prices of wheat:
The jump in wheat is simply another
evidence of what the American public
has known for years-that is, that the
market to a certain extent is, con-
trolled by speculation, and that the
price of any product thus controlled
can be temporarily lowered or raised at
will by those who hold the calls for fu-
ture delivery.
No one denies today that few men
control the money market, and some of
these men have boosted they could
produce a panic at pleasure, and we
have had sad experience to prove they
could make good their boast. The
same kind of combination today, to
a certain extent, controls the prices of
farm products.
A panic in the money market and the
sale Of more United States bonds would
today clearly be in Bryan's favor, as
will be in his favor. In short, our re-
ports for the last two weeks have been
showing an unusual rise in Bryan
stock, especially in the grain producing
States Of the Central West, and this
object lesson of Wall street specula-
ton in their products will cause Bryan
stock to more than keep pace with the
rise in wheat.

PATRICK CULLEN
May be Hiding in Kalalau
Valley.
Said to Have Gone to Kauai or
Waialeale-Rewar Offered
For Capture,

Now that it is quite definitely set
tied that Pat Cullen has gone to Kauai
the question arises, will the police be
able to get him. He had twenty hours
ahead of the messenger who followed
after him, and unless he fingers too
long in Hanalei, he has had ample time
to reach his wife's stopping place in
Kalaulau Valley, and once there, with
all the friends he has in the neighbor-
hood, he will be as safe as Koolau.
Persons who came from Kauai yes
terday state they heard nothing of his
arrival but as he was not looked for,
this is not surprising. With Marshal
Brown on that Island, Cullen will have
little chance of eluding the police, I'M
less, as has been stated, he has gone
into the Valley.
It is understood that he had with
him a knife and a Ratchet when he
left the Jail, but the latter implement
was found somewhere near his prison
clothing; the knife he carried with
him, and if he should find his wife, as
reported, living with another man,
there may be another murder to chron-
icle.
Yesterday Deputy Marshal Hitchcock
put up the following poster, but it is
not considered that the small reward
offered will tempt anyone to go into
the Valley to look for him. Mr.. Gull
len might become angered at being
intruded upon, and when he is angry,
the poster says, he is very desperate.

The holidays are approach
ing at the rate of a day every
twenty-four hours; and this
is the month when children
fix their attention on litera-
ture in which Santa Claus
takes a leading part, and
wives and daughters allow
theirs to dwell on the old
gentleman's purse. An old
lady was once asked the age
when girls gave up playing
with dolls and the answer
came back "When they have
children of their own" So it
is about Santa Claus; child
rem give him up as the
mythical when they are old
enough to realize a flesh and
blood Santa Claus in their
father. If it happens to be a
girl she will cling to the old
gentleman until she happens
to win a Santa Claus who
will be her individual prop
erty.
1t is with these flesh and
blood Santa Claus that we
wish to whisper. On the
Australia which arrived last
week, there were several
large cases of solid silver
ware for us. In turn we
will dispose Of it to Santa
Claus. We will have no
difficulty in doing this as the
assortment is from four Of
the largest and best factories
in the United States. You
will have an opportunity to
view the goods later.

How Thiml,les Are Made,

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The thimbe is Dutch invention, and the
first one was made in 1854 by silversmith
inally it was called q "thumbell," because
1t was worn on the thumb.
In making thimbles the gold and silver
ingots are rolled out into sheets of the de-
sired thickness and cut by a stamp into
circular pieces Of any required size. These
circular pieces are bent into thimble shape
by means of a solid metal bar that is of
thimble; this bar Is moved by machinery
outside of the same thimble, and each time
the bar descends it presses one of the cir
cular pieces or discs into thimble shape.
When the thimble is shaped the next
work is to brighten, polish and decorate it.
First the blank thimble is fitted with a
rapidly revolving rod. A slight touch of a
sharp chisel cuts a very thin shaving from
the end of the thimble, q 3econd chisel does
the same on the side, and third neatly
rounds off the rim. A round steel rod, well
oiled, is held against the surface of the re-
volving thimble, and 1t is thus given a nice
polish: the inside is frightened and polished
in similar manner, the thimble being held
in a revolving mold.
Then a delicate revolving steel wheel
with raised, ornamental edge is pressed
against the blank thimble and prints the
ornament seen just outside the rim. An
other steel wheel covered with sharp points
makes tiny indentions all over the remain
ing blank surface Of the thimble.
The last operation is to wash 1t thor
oughly in soapsuds, to brush 1t carefully
and it is ready for my lady's work basket.

direct route from the city is by way Of
Rrightwood and Whitney avenues and Sol
dierS' Home grounds,
This cemetery was established in 1861
and contains the remains of GALS Union
soldiers who died in the hospitals in this
vicinity during the civi war. OF this num-

In the eastern end of the cemetery are

This cemetery, in the natural beauty of
its surroundings. is eXcelled by none. not
even by Arlington. From the earthworks
OF old Fort Totten in the rear, which are
elevated 321 feet above tide level a view
Is afforded which cannot be surpassed in

splendid old forest trees.
There is scarcely a cemetery within the
limits of the District Of Columbia that
does not contain the remains of some
Union soldiers and sailors. In some of
them many are inferred but Oak Hill

prietorship it was owned by the Washing
tons and Custses. In 1868 it was acquired
by the government under the confiscation
law, possession being taken the following
year. In 1884 the government paid to the
Lee heirs the sum of $15O,0O0 and acquired
perfect title to the property.
More than 1900 of the nations patriots
lie buried at Arlington. On all sides are
magnificent monuments erected to the
memory of prominent officers but even
more impressive. perhaps, are the long lines
of simple headstones which mark the last
resting places of the boys in blue who
fought in the ranks. The graves are for
the most part occupied by the remains Of
soldiers that were gathered from the va
rious battlefelds between the Potomac and
the Rappahannock, but many officers and
soldiers who have died since the close of
the war are also buried here.
Points of Interest.
The amphitheater, which one passes in
moving through the grounds. was erected
in 1878, and was designed for use at the
annual Memorial day ceremonies. 1t is
capable of accommodating about 5000 peo-
pie.
Just east of here is a granite sarcopha.

1886 was erected over the remains of ILL
