The Freezing Shake.

Mr., Mckinley has a greeting which
he uses on mPn whom he knows are
opposed to him. Let a Harrison or
Reed boomer drift into sight and the
Major hurriedly assumes his NapOle-
onic face. The bland smile fades
away aud two perpendicular lines
show on his forehead. He throws his
head back and his chest out and looks
the visitor sternly in the eye. He eX-
tends his hand slowly and keeps his
elbow close to his side, as if he wished
to withdraw his hand as quickly as
possible. There is no gentle pressure
or energetic shake, the Major raises
his hand once and then lets the visit
or's nand drop.
The shakee feels as if he had been
greeting a man of ice. This shake
imparts a creepy feeling, which runs
from the hand up the arm and chills
the whole body. Men who have gone
through this ordeal have been seen to
walk swiftly over to the nearest steam
radiator and lean against it for half
an hour. Othels have been observed
slipping into the cafe and saying
something hot" to the man behind
the mahogany.

Hard Lines For the Young.

Arthur McEwen in his San Francis
60 letter to the Salt Lake Tribune has
the following:
But however it may turn out as to
DR.. Brown, the evil that has been
done by the scandal is great and ire
parable. The newspapers are a-quiver
with it, and it is the talk of the town.
Young ears are sharp and newspapers
are accessible, parents or no parents.
The ~blaZODing of the bestiality of the
North Beach brutes by the "MOthers
of San Francisco" the exposure Of
Price, and the Brown story have serv-
ed to give forbidden knowledge to
thousands and thousands Of girls and
boys who else would have remained in
innocent Ignorance. 'Confound these
parsons and reforming women" a
man said to me-a good man, too.
"Why are they forever stirring upthe
dirt Of life? When nothing else, moth
ing new, attracts them, they pitch into
the social evil, without the least ex-
p%ectation Of extirpating it. Now they
have some scandals of their own to
keep them busy. BY Jove, what with
the parsons, the women and the news
papers the worlds not a fit place to
bring mp ones daughter in"

DR.. Talnage differs radically from
most preachers, as he gets
enough work to satisfy him. When
he was preaching twice every Sunday
to great congregations in the Brook
lvn Tabernacle he used to go out on
the lecture circuit to work off super
fiuous energy. Now he is an assist
ant pastor in a Washington church,
and by agreement breaches only in
the evening. Though he draws by
far the larger congregation, he is not
satisfied, but wants to preach Sunday
morning also. His church will have
to devise some new scheme for alb
sorbing his passion for work or there
will be trouble between Talmage and
his brother preacher.
Germany will take all the American
bonds offered, and incidentally take a
shot at England. This is no joke.

takes up arms.

A SwindIe all Around

A swindle is being perpetrated upon
the consumers Of butter by selling
them II pounds for 2 pounds, says the
Plumas National Bulletin. Mer-
chants charge the butter-mf kers with
the responsibility for short weight
merchants will not buy full weight

dealing and the practice is contrary
to law. 1t is far better for a mer-
and make the profit by an advance in
price. Dairymeh should refuse to
lend themselves to imposing this
swindle on those who consume their
butter. No reasonable man will ex-
pect a merchant to do business with
out a fair profit. but when the Gus
toner buys what is presumed to be
two pounds of butter, the merchant
should do what the law requires him
to do-deliver two pounds.
The grocer gets his butter from
the buttpT-maker who never pretends

ranchers are not the only peoT lie
who deal in short weight 4 good

ed by any reasonable grounds of suspi- cion. Lord Dunraven has neither re- tracted the said false charges nor offered an apology for making the same. Under these circumstance 1t is. in the Judgment of the club, manifestly improper that the Earl of Dunraven should continue to en- joy the privileges of honorary member ship therein; therefore it is
 Resolved. That the secretary be in structed to inform the Earl of Dunraven that his resignation as an honorary mem Der of the New York Yacht club be re- quested by the club.
 The following cal ble was then read:
 London, Feb. 12.-Oddie, New York Yacht club, New York: Forwarded letter,
 ~ DUNRAvEN.
 MT. J. P. Morgan opposed the immedl- ate adoption of the Ledyard resolution, and in moving an amendment to it, said: Tn view of the dispatch which has just been received by the secretary 1t seems to me unwise for the club to take any ac- tion tonight on the resolution offered by Captain Ledyard. Not that we are not in position to do so. but as we have eX- tended to Lord Dnnraven every courtesy up to this time. l think it would be mistake in the face of the dispatch from him stating that there are letters on the way, to act hurrledly tonight when we can just as well do it few days later. I would move therefore that this meeting be adjourned two weeks from tonight February 27, to take action on the reso- lution offered by Captain Ledyard."
 The amendment was carried by large majority. although some of the members were not in favor of granting the earl further time and manifested strong de- sire to demand his resignation immedi- ately.
 The regular nominations of officers for the club were all elected without opposi- nr aD1n elected, as was also the regatta commit tee. Hon. E. J. Phelps and Capt. A. T. Mahan United States navy were elected honorary members of the club. The date of the regatta was fixed for June II. The meeting was then adjourned to Februa- ry 27.

Covington had been robbng Browns store. Brown laid in wait for him in the store one night. but after Covington en- tered he succeeded in wrenching Browns pistol from him and shot him three times. Covington died game, and knelt while a minister prayed for him.

MoRRILI,s BAD BREAK.
He Was Advised Not to Call Up the Tai z szalA -f1 q Kill


 Washington, Feb. 13.-From the stand point of the republicans 1t was unfortu- nate that MT, Merrill presented his mo- tion this afternoon to take up the tariff bill and make 1t the unfinished business Especially was this so in view of the fact that when he made the motion MT. Teller. in charge of the military academy ap- prop1 .ation bill and an ardent silver ad- yocate, appealed to him not to do so to- day. Buts MT. Morrill, did not refrain and the senate refused by the decisive vote of 29 to 21 to take up the bill. It still remains on the calendar subject to another such motion when MT. Morrill,, chairman of the committee, may deem 1t proper to make 1t.
 Whether the vote has any special sig nficance or not the action today is a marked temporary setback to the bill to say the least. The result was accom- plished through the solid democratic and populistie vote, aided by the votes of four republican Silver senators-Te1ler of Col orado, Mantle and Garter of Montana and Dubois of Idaho. MT. Brice, al though paired with MT. Wolcott, voted against taking up the bill. MT. Brice voted under a misapprehension, but his vote did not effect the result save in in creasing the majority slightly.
 Republicans lay the blame for the re- suit on the silver senators, although the bill could not have been taken up even with a solid party vote without the aid of at least one populist. The men who voted with the democrats say their vote Is not in the least significant. They were not ready to have the bill taken up and believed that MT. Morrill, should have kept his motion back until the appropria- tion bills now on the calendar have been disposed of.
 Mir Carter also said that he did not care to have the Cuban resolutions. now the unfinished business, interfered with. The men who led the revolt against the republicans appear to be piqued because the eastern men, as they say. attempted to run the senate and force this bill upon, them at a time when they especially did not desire 1t to come up. One of the most prominent of this group of four said this evening that he desired the sena tors who have heretofore blocked all silver legs- lation to understand that the vote of ev- cry repu blican senator was absolutely necessary. to do anything in the senate and the sooner these senators learned this fact and consulted with the silver senators of the west about orders of bus mess, etc..s.the sooner would there be a lessening of the friction that now exists.
 It Is thought by some that at some fu- tnre time when the motion is made to take up the bill. the republicans will be able to muster their full vote. Whether they can then pass the bill or even take 1t up remaipsyto be seen. but the leaders would be content if they were able to show that their party was unit on the question.
