Frankfort, KY, March ll.-Both
houses met at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, but in the House especially there
seemed little aim of purpose.
The first question was on the adoP-
ton of the minority report unseatlng
Kaufman and seating Dunlap. The
Republicans voted at the start for the
adoption of the minority report with
out exception till Coffman asked to
be passed. -,
Coffman was the only man who did
not vote. The report was adopted by
vote of 40 to 46. The final vote was
then on adoption of the majority re-
port as amended by this minority I'M
seating report. All the Democrats
left the House. The ladies left the
Hobbies. Mr.. Poor stayed in, and
fifty-one members were present. Mr.
Kaufman was unseated.
In a minute the widest scene exis
ted all over the Statehouse. The
Senators huddled together in the
middle of the Senate Chamber while
mad mob crowded every entrance
They yelled their votes unseating
James and Walton.
Three minutes later a mad moi
was at the door of the House declar
ing that James and Walton should
never go in there. 1t was fifteen min
utes before II. In the mob were sew
eral men with their hands holding pis
tolls in their pockets. Standing al
the door daring them to attempt
to bring the two unseated
Senators through were Jack Chinn
Jim Williams, Senator Bronston, H
IL. Martin, Walter Sharp and other
men, white with determination, and
headed by Senate Doorkeeper Tyler

The woman who would have pretty
hands should follow these directions
Wash them in warm water with pure
soap and occasionally little oatmeal
Dry them very thoroughly. After the
night washing rub pure cold cream
into them and don loose, fngerless
white kid gloves. Never go into the
street without gloves. Wear gloves
which fit easily. Tight ones distort the
hand. Twice a week manicure the nails
as follows Soap them in soapy, warm
water, scrub with nail brush, and
clean with an orangewood stick Press
back the skin at the sides and base
with the stick With very sharp,
curved manicure scissors cut off any
hang-nails or dry skin. Clip the nails
into oval shape. File them smooth with
sandpaper. If they are inclined to be
brittle rub little salve on them.
Wash again, powder and polish with
chamois, and wash once more to re-
move any traces of the powder. Every
day the nails should be rubbed with
lemon juice, which discourages the
growth of the skin at the base.

THE HORSE LIKED APPLES.



Trouble When tho New Driver Failed "a
Discover His Weakness.
The redheadcd conductor of the Chris
topher street ferry car looked with
scornful eye upon the passenger who
had made some disparaging remarks
regarding street car horses in general,
says the New York World. Huh" he
said, guess you amt ever been in the
business. Else you'd know that some
of these here horses is almighty intelli-
gent. Some of 'em knows almost as
much as men.
"D'ye ever hear about that white
horse Benny of ourn, did you? He was
the story I'm going to tell you about
him you'll say that I'm liar, but It's
the gospel truth. You know that each
driver has his own horses; that is, he
always takes out the same one. Benny
was Murphy's especial property, and
that horse was always dead stuck on
him. Murphy always treated him kind
Murphy knew that that horse was par
tlcular fond Of apples. So he got into
the way Of givin' Benny an apple on
every trip. For convenience and be-
cause it was handy place to remem-
bcr he always gave him that apple
right at the corner of Broadway and
Itch street, where the car turns. II
didn't take long for Benny to git SO
used to it that Murphy wouldn't have
to slip off the car. Benny would just
turn around in his traces an rear up a
little an grab the apple as Murphy held
Il out to him over the dashboard. One
day Murphy got fired. He couldn't let
the whisky bottle alone. He used to
get blue jag on about three times a
week am it sort o. discouraged the COM
pany. So they bounced him sudden and
they put brand-new man in his place.
The first time the new man took the car
out Benny went along in great shape
until they got around the curve at 18th
street, and then, bless me, if he didn't
turn right around in his traces and rear
up to the dashboard. The new man was
plumb scared to death an nearly had q
fit. Benny stood turned round, kinder
discouraged an weitin'. After awhile
&c seemed TO pull himself together
mourpful-like, an realize that Murphy
wasn't there and things was changed
Then he positively refused to go on, an
1t took quarter of an hour to git him
started, He was all right on the next
trip until he come to the same place, an
then he perceeded the same way. Say
young Teller, that horse KEEP that kind
o. business up for week, an, By
George, he won his pint. The com
pany had to take Murphy back to pre-.
vent the line from being blockaded sew
oral times a day"

The New York board OF health recon-
mends that notices be placed in all
public places, in surface and ele-

expectoration on the floors. The
doctors say that consumption, diph-
iberia, influenza. and other diseases
are easily communicated in this way
during certain stages OF the disease.
Catarrhal affections may be COM
