MANY VETERAN LEGISLATORS.

The Senate will have large proportion OF
veteran legislators. Thirty-one Of its fifty men,
bers previously have had legislative ex-
perience in the Legislature of this State: and
several Of the new Senators have been promi-
nent members of Boards Of Supervisors. The
Assembly does not have quite such large pro-
portion Of new members. Fifty-five Of its 100
members have been in the Assembly before
Thus two-thirds of the Senator'S are old legis-
lators and only one-third Of the Assemblymen
are Of this character OF course the Legislature
is Overwhelmingly Republican. In the senate
there arc only u Democrats and one Independ-
ent-Coggeshall: the other 35 are Republicans
In the Assembly there are 103 Republicans and
A Democrats.

,.xv FOR THE sIoN-OvERwHELMINGLY
prp1,p1ICAN IN PoLTIcs-THE BOSS
AND HIS PROBABLE INFLUENCE IN
SHAPING LEGISLATION.
,.vou THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE ETRIBuNEl
Albany Dec. M.-The Legislature of 1896. the
am hundred and nineteenth since the organiZa-
,,or Of the state. will meet here tomorrow II
49,, s,,cb an enlarged membership. and there has
,oon such a shifting of legislative power from one
county, to another, and from one section OF the
c,ote to another, that the Commonwealth must
ha considered to enter upon new legislative era
NTH It's coming to Albany. The Constitutional
Convention Of 1894 made radical changes IN the
,ethod of formation Of the legislature The
limit Of thirty-two which had existed since lSol'
r,s,lad the division of the state it increased
IN population into too large Senate DIVISIONS ter
r,torially The Constitutional Convention Of 1894.
,herefore increased the number Of Senators TO
fifty.
THE INCREASE IN THE ASSEMBLY.
Tho Assembly also has suffered changes. Under
,he 6rst Constitution it had 20 members; the
constitution Of 1921 said that there should be
1os Assemblymen: and this the figure until
the present year. 1895. when 100 Assemblymen
were elected
One effect of the changes made by the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1894 will be an enormous
transfer Of influence and power IN the Legislature
from the cities to the rural districts. There had
heen a drift Of legislative power for many years
from the country to the cities, and ii was ten
dorcv which was encouraged by the leaders OF
the Democratic party, who realized that the
strength Of their party was concentrated in the
cities Thus Of thir .y-two Senators In the Senate
or 1894 and 1895 there were twenty-five repre-
sentatives of cities and only ten representatives
~ the rural voters Of the State. The same dis
nroport;on was also observable in the Assembly
II was through Mr. Choates influence and that
of other men in sympathy with him in the Consti-
tutional Convention that the Constitution was 50
amended as TO give back 10 the rural districts
Of the State much the influence which they had
lost The Convention also provided that no
change should be made until after 1905. In the
Senate out Of fifty Senator'S there are twenty
four who may be rightly termed rural Senator'S
and In the Assembly. also, the rural influence.
while not paramount, is nearly of equal strength
with the city influence.

Peace or War?

Still another view which have heard
exploited much Of late by well informed
diplomats Is that Russia and England will
soon make an alliance, offensive and de-
fensive. II Is pointed out that these two
great nations are not really rivals In any
general sense. They are rivals only where
their frontiers chance TO come together In
Asia. The absence of rivalry between
them Is on account of the difference be.
tween their national policies. Russia has
no colonies and little foreign commerce.
She seeks no over sea power. She Is not a
rival Of England in colonization and trade,
as Germany Is. On the other hand, Rus
sia's policy has always been land policy
II Russia and England go to war they
will eat one another up. II, on the other
hand, they make peace, together they can
rule the world, the one being invinoible on
the sea and the other we'll nigh invincible
on land. Together they could solve the
Turkish problem. They could dismember
the sultan's empire, restore order in Ar.
menia, and bring about better state OF
things through all Asia Minor.
Great Indignation was caused here by
the pronunciamento of the Turkish gov.
eminent to the effect that the Red Cross
society would not be permitted to distrib.
ute money and supplies to the suffering
people Of Armenia. That edict was felt t.
DO an insult TO the civilized world. IL is
well known that tho fear Of the sublimely
impudent porto was that under the guIse
of distribution the Red Cross society would
make an Investigation of the condition OF
affairs prevailing In Asia Minor and report
TO the world. IL Is the talk In inside cir.
oles of this government that but for our
policy Of nonintervention in foreign af
fairs We would surely go over to Turkey
and make an effort TO compel the porte TO
give Armenia protection, and IL Is not i'm.
possible we may do so anyway. We may at
ieast ask the European powers to bestir
themselves. WALTER WRLLMAN.

REWARDS LITTLE GAME.
How Two Cute Foxes Baffled Hunters and
Enjoyed the Fun.

How Two Cute Foxes Baffled Hunters and
Enjoyed the Fun.
In Outing is told the story of a pair
of foxes that, for time, at any rate, en-
joyed the sport of a fox hunt. The dogs
jumped them, but after awhile the trail
ended at a pond. ..f-.
About the center of the pond was a
bent tree, the two ends of which were
in the water, while the highest point of
the curve was perhaps 20 feet above the
pond. The dogs were working about
the pond, looking for the trail, and the
men were looking, too, and they were
beginning to feel rather curious, espe-
cially as every few moments they would
hear a fox yelp sharply. 1t seemed to
be a derisive bark, which it probably
was. After awhile a movement in the
top of the curve of the tree in the pond
attracted attention.
Upon this tree, the account continues,
seated comfortably at the point of its
highest curve, was an old dog fox. The
cunning rascal had Travelled across the
pond on the log, then scaled the bent
tree, and while we watched he jerked
his godly brush up and down and
barked his derision at the whole per-
Torrance. After awhile we saw his
vixen seated on an adjacent log. They
were simply watching the futile efforts
of our pack to locate them, and likely
enough they enjoyed the experience.
One of the men got up wind from the
animals and his scent drove them out.
The dog took the male fox's tail and
drove it at last to a log spanning ditch
on which man was sitting. The fox
did not see the motionless man until
close enough to be reached, when, with
a frantic leap sideways into the water.
he escaped the grab. The race did not
last long then. The wet fox gave Off
strong, easily followed scent, and the
wet brush was like piece of lead, so
the animal was killed by the dogs, while
the men rushed in afoot to get closer

Peculiar Ways of q Rabbit.

From correspondent in Mechanics
burg, Pa, comes pretty story about a
boys pet rabbit. This bunny is a great
friend of the chickens, and has carried
1t so far that now he regularly goes to
roost with them every night. A few
weeks ago bunny developed another
trait, still more astonishing. When
the hens get on the nest for their daily
task of laying eggs, the rabbit sits
with them. 1t is not supposed that it
is any particular advantage to have him
there, but Biddy never objects, and
with soft cluck-cluck, shemalles room
for the fury friend by. her side.

Abnormal Craving Induces Men to Guam
1t as a Beverage.
Kerosene oil would hardly be deemed
a desirable beverage by an epicure, but
it is used in large quantities as a stimu-
liant by Russian immigrants in this
country.
The habit is one that they acquire in
the native land, and, strange as it may
seem, they adhere to this form of intox-
ication even when other liquors are
within the reach of their purses.
An "oil drunk" produces intense
drowsiness, and tho tippler of this odd
drink goes to sleep as soon as he has
become saturated with the liquid.
Baron Schroeder, who owns a mine in
California, has found among his en-
ployes men who drink pure alcohol,
vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and coal
oil. The coal oil drunkard prefers his
beverage to any other. When working
a mine in southern Germany the baron's
men would even steal the liquid out of
the lamps.
E. L. Menier, of Newark, N. j., says
that a Belgian recently loaded a pocket
pistol" with kerosene, and at drink
ing party RECALLED himself with the stuff
with evident relish.
The people addicted to this curious
habit are loath to confess it, and only
the grocers from whom they buy the
liquid know how widespread the prac-
tice is

VARSITY STUDENTS ANGRY.
Senior Loses Six Majors Credit for Neg
Letting Own" Work.

Senior Loses Six Majors Credit for Neg
lecting Gym" Work.
The faculty of the University of Chi
cago has incurred the wrath of the stu
dents. The squabble is over the old
question of required gymnasium work.
A student just about to graduate has
had six majors credit taken off because
of continued absence from gym" and
now will have to stay two extra quar-
tiers at the varsity if he graduates. Ills
case has been under discussion some
days, and the other day he was notified
that the faculty of the senior college,
Of which he is member, had passed
q special rule in his case, striking off
corresponding number of majors
credit for the quarters during which
he was absent from gymnasium. The
decision came like a thunderbolt to the
young man, whose father is connected
with the university.
Many of the students say that the
authorities of the university have no
right to take away credit that has been
paid for, earned and once recognized
by the university. The university is
just $50 to the good on the transaction
and the student loses two quarters
time. The trustees feel that the pen
atty is entirely too severe. The stu
dent under the ban bears it bravely and
says that he will not protest any more.
He considers that his credit should not
have been taken away, but that If such
a course was thought necessary by the
authorities he should have been re-
qufred to make up the gym" work in
question.

MUST GIVE UF THEIR WIVES.
Effort to Be Made to Abolish Polygamous
Practices of Indians.

Practices OF Indians.
The Oklahoma courts have struck q
puzzler in the Indian custom relating
to plural marriages. The law of Okla
homa is very severe on polygamists,
and Indians on reservations are not ex-
empt from its operation. The Kicka-
poos have an average of five squaws
each. The Cheyennes and Arapaboes
are nearly all polygamists, as are the
Kiowas and Apaches, COMMANDERS and
Wichitas. 1t is stated that the courts
have decided to take action in the mat
ter at once unless polygamous practices
cease. Capt. Woodson, of Anadarnaka
agency, has issued orders commanding
Indians of his agency having several
wives to at once decide on the wife want
ed and give up the others, and no little
uneasiness has resulted in all the
polygamous tribes, as it is claimed by
the Indians that one squaw cannot raise
corn to support an ex-warrior in be-
coming dignity.

ROMANTIC AFFAIR IN INDIANA.
Man and Woman Married In England
Years Ago Meet Again.


Years Ago Meet Again.
Judge Marbro, of Kentucky, was
standing on the platform of the Big
-Four station at Fowler, Ind, the other
day when the Chicago limited pulled
in. In the parlor car sat lady whom
he thought he knew. He approached
her and they recognized one another
Immediately. 1t was his wife, whom
he married 20 years ago in England.
She was the daughter of Lord Linds-
ley. Her father was so opposed to the
marriage that he induced her to leave
him about six months after they were
married. She relented and decided to
return to her husband, but was in
formed and made to believe that Mar
bro was dead.
Marbro, incensed at his wife's sup
posed intidelity, came to America. He
was shortly afterward informed that
she had secured a divorce from him.
In few months after their separation
a son was born to Mrs. Marbro. He is
now in the English navy. On the death
of Lord Lindsey Mrs. Marbro fell heir
to $3,000,000 in estates and money. She
has since married and has three chill
dren by the second union. She was en-
route through here to visit a sister IN
San Francisco. Judge Marbro is very
wealthy. He is also married.
He accompanied his wife of former
years TO Chicago. What action he will
take regarding his right in the estate
in England is not known.
