The whole of to-day's session in the

OF the naval bill.
The first two hours were passed In the
discussion Of the resolution introduced
Monday prohibiting officers Of the navy

agreed tO-yeas. 45. nays II.
The remainder of the days session was
occupied by a speech Of Mr.. German
Dem0. OF Maryland. on an amendment
offered by him TO reduce the number Of
battleships provided for in the bill from
four 10 two.
The speech was almost entirely on po-
itical lines, although Mr.. German aid
not spare members OF his own party, es-
pecially the Secretary Of the Navy, whom
he ridculed for his pretension TO become
a great admiral.
Senators sherman and Hale took part

Two GIrls AMID SOME Cracksmen.

Two brave young ladies, the Misses EN-
ma and Genevieve Rich, surprised robbers
at work in the postoffice at Sandy Lake,
early this morning, and drove them off.
but not until one of the burglars had been
shot, says the Shanrokin, Pa. correspond
ence of the Philadelphia Record. For
some time the postof1ce in this part of the
state have been the objects of what is evil
IDENTIFY an organized band of cracksmen.
Several big shauls have been made, and
men arrested and sent to jail, but without
breaking UP the gang.
The intrepid misses occupy a room over
the Sandy Lake postoffice. They are pref
ty, of a retiring disposition, and popular
in the place. Though they have never been
molested they always kept a dainty revolt
yer in the dresser, Just TO make us feel
bit safer you know" they said to-day.
While they were sleeping peacefully bur
glars pried their way into the postoffice
and started to work on the safe. With a
small steel drill they bored a hole through
the safes door and filled it with dynamite.
The explosion was not loud, but was suf-
ficient to wake the two girls.
why, what's that?" whispered Gene
We've, as she pulled the coverlets closer
around her head and snugged up to Emma.
Ssh, Genr Do you hear anything?"
"Oh. En- do you suppose its-it's-oh!
What can it be?''
Gen., believe it's burglars. I'm go

"sposen they'd-Oh, EN- don't you dare

where's that pistol? I'm going down.
Come on and two pair of bare feet
struck the cold carpet at once Emma
got the revolver. 1t seemed so big and
so fierce looking. Quietly they stole out
into the hallway. Two brave hearts were
humping, but the girls were determined
to prevent the robbery of the postoffics.
Down stairs were two or three desperate
cracksmen; two dainty white-robed girls
were pitting themselves against awful
odds.
A mouse could not have crawled down
those stairs easier, but one of the rob-
bers happened to flash his bull s-eye IAN
tern that way. The light partly blinded
them, but Emma lifted her revolver and
shot directly at the dark form behind the
light.
"Oh, Gen. do you suppose II killed
him?'
II don't know. Let's get dressed"
By the time they were dressed The

Mr.. wanamaker's wicked Friends.

Hon. John Wanamaker ex-postmaster
general and famous as the greatest bar
gain counter merchant in the world, has
some wicked friends, who have done him
a grevous injury. MIR. Wanamaker as is
we'll known. is a candidate for United
States senator from Pennsylvania to sue
coed Senator Cameron.
These wicked friends, so the story goes,
have determined that Mr. Wanamaker
shall be elected, if not by fair means, then
by means which have often proved potent
States senator.
The man who tells the story is Hon.
Clark L. Baldwin of Fayette county, Penn
sylvania. He says that in the latter part
of October Mr.. Wanamaker introduced him
to Mr.. Van Volkensburg, who told him
that he could get some help by voting for
Mr.. Wanamaker, and referred him to Mr..
Edmund Dunn. He met Mr.. Dunn in COM
pany with Mr.. w. Howard Thomas. He
had a talk with Mr.. Dunn, Mr.. Thomas
and Mr.. Volkensburg, the result of which
was that he was paid $500 with the under
standing that he would vote for Mr.. Wan
amaker.
MIR. Baldwin states that he Immediately
placed the money in the hands of a friend
and told him the circumstances under
which he had received 1t. Then he made
public the little transaction. This is Mr.
Baldwin's story. We do not know how
much truth there is in 1t. 1t may be a true
story II it is. it must grleve Mr.. Wanna
maker greatly to know that he has such
wicked friends. II it isn't true then Mr..
WanamalSer should have his friends de-
clare that the story Is false.
Many a good man has been ruined by
wicked friends Mr.. wanamaker couldn't
very well continue his Sunday school work
with success II II were believed that he
was concerned in bribing members OF the
Legislature to vote for him for United
States senator, or that he is so anxious for
a seat in the Senate that he is willing to
buy It. Almost anything can be accom-
plished with money but not honorably ac-
complished. II Mr.. Wanamaker should get
the senatorship, just as he gets merchan-
disc at low prices, namely. for cash, he
wouldn't feel just right about it-at least,
IL what he says about his high purposes is
correct.

Il appeared for the PLAINTIFF, and Il must
be confessed that the evidence failed TO
establish his claim. l presented the mat
ter before the justice of the peace In the
best light knew how, but had very little
hope of securing the verdict. Ny client
when / finished, whispered to me that he
would say a few words II / were willing.
and, considering the case lost, consent
ed. II was the most unique speech 1
ever heard and it won the case. He said /:
Squire, brought this suit, and the
evidence, except my own, Is against me. I
don't accuse any one of lying, squire. but
the witnesses are the most mistaken lot
OF fellows l ever saw. You know me-
squire. Two years ago you sold me a
horse for sound that was as blind as a
bat. I made the trade and stuck TO It, and
this Is the first time l have mentioned IL.
When you used to buy grain, you stood
on the scales when the empty wagon was
weighed, but / never said word Now
do you think / am the kind OF a man 10

he had done me wrong2"

tice TO decide for the plaintiff"

Pension Legislation.
From the New York Post Qnd.).

The prompt passage by the House OF the
pension bill, carrying an appropriation Of
$141, 100000. is spoken of in some quarters
as a wonderful proof Of the business apti-
tude OF congress. But this is one of the
money bills with which congress has
nothing to do except to give blind as
sent. Discussion cannot alter It one jot
or little. Existing laws call for so much
money for pensions, and congress has to
vote IL willy nilly. Additional permanent
annual appropriations to the amount OF
Sl20. 100000 are included in Secretary Car
isles estimates. These, too. must he
voted without debate or demur. 1t thus
appears that. all told, more than one half
the yearly appropriations of congress are
removed from that scrutiny In detail and
itemized control which were once consid-
cred so essential to votes of money by the
peoples representatives. 1t IL now a mat
ter OF bookkeeping. The clerks figure up
how much the laws call for, and ask
It OF congress in lump sums. Congress
votes the money without inquiry, having
fettered itself in advance by making laws
that demand the money. This Is a curious
position for popular assembly which
won the power OF the purse from king and
ministers by insisting upon Jealous exam
ination OF every shilling spent.

Unexpected HARMONY.

Unconscious harmony between sermon
and response was too much for Rev. Simon
]. Mcpherson yesterday morning, says the
Chicago TimesHerald. He preached on
HELP in the Second Presbyterian church.
but found the response selected by the in
nocent organist was altogether too appro-
pirate. The hymn was changed but
not before the air had been played to an
accompaniment of a broad grin on the
face of everyone present. Or. Mcpherson
does not consult with the organist A. F.
McCarrell, as to the sermon he intends to
preach on Sundays. Mr.. McCarrell does
not worry the pastor about the hymns he
selects for the worshipers to sing. Both
trust each other implicitly, but in future
DIR. Mcpherson will look over the list of
of hymns before he goes into the pulpit.
DR.. Mcpherson preached on Hell" and
pictured in burning words the terrors
awaiting the unrepentant wicked in the
next world. His sermon made a deep i'm
preston on the congregation. At the con-
clusion of the discourse the pastor usually
announces the hymn he selected as a re-
sponse and thought no more about it
after he had complied his list of hymns.
The pastor fumbled with the list, cough
ed and looked trifile embarrassed. The
organist began to play the air pianissimo
and a broad grin spread over every face.
Dr. Mcpherson looked appealing upward
to the organist and then turned over the
leaves of the hymnbook with desperate
eagerness. Mr.. McCarrell left his pipes
and hurried down to the pastor
1--WE must change that response" whis-
pered the pastor.
''Why?" asked the organist innocently.
