WORK FOR CONGRESS.
Only Important Measure Before Sem
ate Is River and Harbor Bill.
House Has Forti:ications and General Defici.
ency Yet to Dispose OF.

Washington. May Sin the Senate
tomorrow. Mr.. Frye will call up the
river and harbor bill, and he hopes to
get this important measure passed in
side of two days. The only item ex-
pected to cause trouble is that provid-
ing for the construction of deep sea
harbor at Santa Monica, Cal, which is
being antagoniZed by the California
senators. and upon which a lively fight
is being waged in favor of the rival
harbor of San Pedro. So many and d.
verse interests are in favor of the river
and harbor appropriations that no seri-
Gus difficulty is anticipated in putting
them through the Senate. notwth
standing the large addition to the drain
on the treasury made by the upper
Chamber.
The District of Columbia appropra-
ton bill comes next in order and after
that shall have been disposed of. there
win only be the fertilization bill and
general deficiency appropriation bill to
be acted upon by the Senate. and the
Republican managers intend. if they
can. to put all the appropriations
through the Senate by May Is This.
according to their programme, will
leave two weeks clear in which to dis
cuss and adjust in conference the diff
erences between the House and Senate
as to the particular items of appropri-
atoms. and will open the way to an
adjournment by June /. Similar pre-
dictions have been heard in many pre-
vious long sessions of Congress, but
have seldom been fulfilled.
The only item of business decided
upon for the consideration of the
House. this week. is the report of cleo
tons committee No. 1 upon the con-
tested election case of Rinaker vs..
Downing. from the 18th Illinois district.
In this case the majority of the COM
mittee recommend the unseating of
Downing, the Democratic candidate.
who was given certificate. and the
seating of Rinaker, his Republican OPP
ponent. The minority. with whom
Moody. Rep. of Massachusetts, unites,
recommend a recount of the votes. A
vigorous fight will be made over this
report for if the majority report be
agreed to. it will exclude from the
House the last remaining Democrat in
the Illinois delegation of % members.
Tomorrow will be suspension day.
and unless the committee on rules shall
meets. the session will be devoted to
motions to pass bills under suspension
of the rules.
Two days will probably be given for
the consideration of private pension
bills, which will enable the committee
on invalid pensions to make some
progress toward clearing the calendar
of that class of measures. Three APP
preparation bills are in conference
legislative. executive, judicial, sundry
civil and Indian-and the reports upon
one or more of them ought to be ready
for submission to the House before the
close of the week.

The College League Season Opens With a
Victory for Brunswick CoIlcgians.

Brunswick. May 3.-tSpeeiaD.-The
first game in the Maine College League
series was played on the Bowdoin delta.
Saturday afternoon, between Bowdoin
and Colby, and resulted in a decided
victory for the home team. The ex
citement was high and so was the
score, 10 to II.
Though the Waterville boys played
hard. they were at no time within hail
ing distance of Bowdoin, and the walk
over of Bowdoiu was complete. Dodge
pitched a great game and was a COM
plete puzzle to his opponents, with the
exception of the sixth inning, when
several hits in succession and some
loose fielding melted seven runs.
Haines. who caught his first game of
the season, gave Dodge magnificent
support Captain Hull was unable to
play on account of a finger hurt in the
Tufts game. Coburn did not play in
his usua, form. but the rest of the
team gave the crowd a most satisfac-
tory exhibition.
The Colby men We're a little daZed in
their fielding work at times. and the
wildneSs OF Patterson was responsible
for several runs. Putnam did splendid
work at the bat and in the field. and
Austin had some pretty plays at short
stop. Brooks hurt a finger and eX
changed places with Coffin in the sew
enth.
Bowdoin opened the game with a
rush and took lead that could not be
overcome. It's base running was most
superior to that of Colby. For Colby
only seven men came to bat in the first
two innings. In the fifth inning, when
Colby had two men on bases. Bodge
struck out the next three men. In the
sixth, when there were three Bowdoin
men on bases and one out, Coffin and
Brooks made a pretty double play. re-
firing the side.

HOW TIC DRESS CHILDREN.
Some Words of Advice of Interest TO
All Mothers.

Philadelphia Record: In speaking of
childrens clothing. a sensible matron
says it should always be light in
weight and as loose and easv to wear
as circumstances will permit. 1t should
certainly not he too warm or too cool,
as such clothing causes illness. Conse-
quently the greatest attention should
be paid this subject with every change
of season and temperature.
Underclothing for children is best
made all in one piece-that is, without
band or strinc around the waist, such
as combination chemise and drawers
of seasonable material, made in prin-
cesse shape, with or without sleeves.
Undertaking for babies is made of the
very finest cambria or nainsook. and
the softest lace is used for trimming
The first long robes are now devoid
of trimming with the exception of
rows of pretty fancy stitching. Short
frocks, however. are deliberately garni-
tured with embroidery and lace and
are worn over silk underskirts.
Round the waist is a frinGed sash
with bows on the shoulders to match.
Later on. combination suits of wool,
silk or cotton, according to the season,
are worn. Children's dress is certainly
more luxurious todaT than it was

The system came to the great middle
