Washington, May 8.-The house to-
day served notice ON the senate and the
country that it had transacted its busi.
ness and was ready for final adjourn
ment by the passage, without division,
OF resolution for final adjournment ON
Monday, May 18. The reading was re-
ceived with an outburts of applause
from members ON both sides of the
house. Wheeler denounced the ma
jority for proposing to desert their
posts. He asserted that during the
campaign Of 1894, the Republican
party had pledged itself to the relief of
the people from existing depression.

terjected Miliken. Dingley made no
reply to Wheeler, and the resolution
was adopted without division. The
house then proceeded under the special
order adopted yesterday, to consider
private pension bills, and acted on
them at the rate of about one every FIVE
minutes.
Washington, May 9.-The net re-
suit OF three and half hours session

a bill to amend the act creating the
court of appeals so as to allow appeals
from the supreme courts of the terri
tories to the court Of appeals Pickler
attempted to secure his revenge for the
defeat he suffered last night. when the
house refused to remain in session to
pass private pension bills, by blocking
legislation today. He made the point
OF no quorum at every opportunity, and
finally the house, losing patience, ad-
journed. Pickler threatens to keen
up his tactics until he accomplishes his
object, which he says is to secure fur.

bills.

NEW YORK, October 6.--The news
flew through Wall street late this
afternoon that Thomas f.. Ryan had
bought controlling interest in the
Seaboard Airline system. 1T was
said ne paid $1l0 share for block Of
1000 shares, and thereby secured the
needed majority.
Mr. Ryan and his associate, General
Sam Thomas, are the holders of 49,
900 shares of the Central of Georgia
stock, or they so Stated to the Georgia
railroad commission a few months ago
when that body was trying to discover
Central. Messrs. Ryan and Thomas
also own or hold in trust the Port
Royal and Augusta railroad, which
they bought recently at receivers
sale.
Ii 1t turns out to be true that they
have scooped the Seaboard, and there
are a number of corrobating circum-
stances, the system Is to be merged
into some of their other properties and
will be operated In perfect harmony
with the Southern. 1t Is the under
standing on the street here that Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan IL the real owner Of
al these Southern properties. The
Seaboard's purchase, IL made, was to
take 1t out of the field as q competitor
and demoralizer of rates
| Mr.. Samuel Spencer, president ol
the Southern, charged recently That
the principal owners of the Seaboard
had'offered to sell the property to him
and that he had declined TO buy. II
has been street talk for a long time
that a pool had been formed by Mr.
Hoffman and his friends TO force the

Tor the month Of Deccnper
The mouth Of Dccenher will be one
of the most severe tlht we have ex-
perienced in years. Gt is not likely
that the storms will be dangerous, be-
cause they do not cbne at the period
OF the year when d9tgerous storms are
to be expected. Bt you will get all
the old fashioned biizzards you want
curing the last fart of that month.
Things will grow Interesting about the
10Th Of the month, and will continue
until December 8Oth. We will have d
good sprinkling Of bad weather before
that, for the winter will begin early
and be cold one, but the centre OF the
worst period begins December 10.

ST. Louis saw and heard Mr.. BRYAN
barely a month ago. Since he awaken-
ed the admiration of friend and foe in
September, he has travelled to the
Atlantic and back, speaking each day
and often several times day-to an
audience peculiar to tho place where
he stopped. He has delivered his
message OF montary reform to the South
erners OF Kentucky and Virginia. He
mas appeared before the worldly wise
Washing tonians, the conservative
Baltimoreaps and the communicating of
business men, 'workingmen and profess
slonal mon that makes up Tammy.
Speaking at length and extempo-
raneously under all those rapid chang
ing conditions-a feat of physical and
mental endurance never attempted be-
io-e by national candidate-he has
displayed neither weakness nor weari-
ness. Though his speeches have been
reported for the press exactly as he
delivered them, often without his hay-
ing an opportunity to see a line of the
copy, he has made not a single mis-
take which the enemy could use to ad.

lie has endured a strain which
would break down most men who are
called robust and return to ST. Louis,
ripened and developed by the exercise
OF meeting great demands with great
powers, to deliver the most powerful
address of his marvellous canvass and
TO arouse the enthusiasm of a mighty
audience to a higher pitch than that
OF his first visit, though the warmth of
the September ovation has surpassed
any experience of ST. Louis in modern
campaigns.
a man who can increase in power
under such extreme demand is the
man OF century, If not of all the CEN

strength, constantly recuperated by
perfect health, could carry on the task

SOME ANIMAL HUNTERS.


An Indian viii cfteu take a deer's
trail, when deer are scarce. and follow
II for days, preventing the deer from
feeding Cr resting and making it go
weary and cuClcss that in the end he
kills it by q shot at short range. .Proba-
bly, the Indians first learned to follow a
deer in this fashion from observing the
habits of wolves panthers and other
wild and tirelcss rraIlers WI game.
The coyote is not 80 strong a wolf as
its big gray c+usin in Maine and other
wolf countries Nevertheless he has
been known Jo run the Jack rabbit down
as surely a. death, but i'll a more expe-
ditiOus way than tile Maine animal
adopted. Whether ii il q habit or not "
the coyotes to run jack rabbits in pairs
cannot BE- said for certain, but u story
was told some time ago i'll Wen known
sportsman paper which, being backed
BY similar story Of English foxes, has
every appearance Of being truthful
The two coyotes were seen to jump a
rabbit one day ont in California on a
mesa One Of the coyotes took after III
on the dead jump the other trotted to
near by rise and lay down, with its
nose On its paws, knowing that the rab-
bit would surely circle. Pretty soon
along came the jack rabbit with the 9th
er coyote behind, both going full tilt.
Up jumped the waiting coyote, and
away it went after the rabbit, while the
other dropped out of the chase and wait
ed, as its companion had done, w take
the trail Oh the rabbits return. 1t was
not long before the rabbit was exhaust
ed by the strategy and endurance Of both
the animals Of prey and soon fell an
easy victim to be eaten BY both the
hunters.

the inclosure, he saw another fox chas-
ing the rabbits that had entered the
open gate t0 get at the cabbages there.
The rabbits-eigh or ten Of them-were
headed for the gate and running like
EQUITY sarks. When one plunged
through the gateway, the fox living
alongside it leaped and had il by the
back Of the neck in a jiffy. Then the
foxes tore the rabbit to pieces and sen
joyed the feast like honest sportsmen. -

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.


As remember the first fair touch
Of those beautiful hands That love so much
! seem to thrill as then was thrilled,
Kissing the glove that found untitled
When l met your gaze and the queenly bow
As you said to me laughingly, Keep it nowi'
And dazed and alone in dream / stand
Kissing the ghost of your beautiful hand.
When first loved in the long ago
And held your hand as ! told you so,
Pressed and caressed it and gave it kiss
And said, 81 could die for hand like thisl"
Little dreamed loves fullness yet
Had to ripen when eyes were wet,
And prayers We're vain in their wild demands
For one warm touch Of your beautiful hands.
Beautiful handsl @ beautiful hands,
Could you reach out Of the alien lands
Where you are lingering end give me tonight
Only touch-were it ever so light
My heart We're soothed and my weary brain
Would lull itself into rest again,
For there fs no solace the world commands
Like the caress of your beautiful hands.

The farmers can hardly be expected to
regulate tile prices Of butter and cheese,
but they can regulate in some measure
the cost of producing tile milk If farm
ers will still persist il feeding their
cows a ration bordering on starvation,
no wonder they find that dairying does
not pay. Let them feed their cows il
such a manner that they will not de-
crease their flow Of milk after the month
Of June. Why is it that cows always
give lots Of milk during June: Because
they have plenty Of good succulent feed.
Try, therefore, to arrange Your affairs
to have some green food to give them
after June has passed. sow small
piece, say half an acre for each five cows
you are milking, of oats and vetches, and
if vetches cannot be got sow some field
peas in their place. This, if sown early
on good soil, should be fit TO cut about
the first of July. Cows will not eat

Then for September and October be sure
