House of representatives.

Early in today's session of the House
Mr.. Studley OF Providence.nsked the in
diligence OF ths memuers in order to
straighten out mater in which he h d
a very lively personel interest at the be-
ginning of the January session. 1t will
be remembered that In it's annual report
of 1895 the State House commission inti-
mated that the commission on Gppra aisal
of land had awarded twice as much as
they should have. Mir. Studley. as a MEM
ber OF the second commission, resented
this, and together with his colleagues,
Mr.. Addison ]. Fisher and Mr.. Gardiner
&. Sims, presented petition to.the Cen
eral Assembly to have the matter inevsti-
gated and the petitioners vindiated. This
was laid on the table, where 1t has been
ever since.
Today Mr.. Studley asked THAT the reso-
luton accompanying the petition be in
definitely postponed, inasmuch as the
State House commission had in its ennu-
al report of 1895 made an altogether differ
ent statement. The matter was in
definitely postponed and very disagree
able difference was thus most gracefully
cleared up.
A resolution TO increase the salary OF
the Assistant Attorney General from
$1,000 to $500 per annum was introduced
by Mr.. Covell and referred TO the judiciary
committee.
House recommended the indefinite
postponemeni. of The resolution author
izing the Governor 10 appoint an agent
10 collect the old war claims OF the state
against the United States.
The other resolution which came from
Attorney Amnsa M. Eaton, was passed
upon recommendation oi the judiciary

HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK
In speaking of this much dreaded d.
sease, Mr.. G. NJ. Dixon, of Pleasant
Ridge, Pa, said: 81 have little girl
who is troubled frequently during the
winter months with croupy affections.
Whenever the first symptoms occur,
my wife gives her Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and the result is al
ways prompt and satisfactory" This
remedy is used by thousands Of moth
ers throughout the United States,and
in many foreign countries, and always
with perfect success. 1t is only ne
cesary to give it freely when the
child become hoarse or as soon as the
croupy cough appears and all symp-
tons of Group will disappear. For

When argument is based upon Q
wrong principle, it is full of inconsist-
encies. Candidate Bryan says that our
dollar is 100 valuable; that 1t has en-
HANGED until two bushels of wheat are
now required in exchange for dollar.
whereas one bushel of wheat was ex-
changeable for dollar in days gone by.
Mr.. Bryan's remedy for this is to
cheaper the dollar. This is logical, and
the dollar would certainly be cheapened
by "free coinage" No doubt of that
So far Candidate Bryan is consistent,
but wait a moment He says also that
phe free coinage OF silver by the United
States alone would double the price of
silver bullion and make it worth $1.29
per ounce in gold the world over. IL
this advance should result, the silver
worth of the gold dollar, and there
would be absolutely no change in our
financial system. These two PROPOSE
tions are utterly at variance with each
other. One of them must of rscessitv

DIDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS ALIVE.
Terrapin on Bosom of Young Lady Fright

Terrapin on Bosom OF Young Lady Fright
ems Bibuious Passenger.
A fat, smooth-faced man with left
over jag sat gloomily in the corner of
Wabash, avenue car and viewed his sur
roundings with a hazy and blood-shct
eye.
A good-looking young woman, whose
attire betokened familiarity with fash
ionable society, got on the car at Con.
gress street and took seat opposite,
says the Chicago Tribune. The fat man
apparently did not notice her entrance.
but in few moments he suddenly fixed
his eyes upon her in frozen stare,
while look of doubt, fear and hope in
ccntorted combination crept over his
countenance.
He tried to take his gaze from the
young woman, but seemed to be fas.
cinated by something. After a pro-
longed stare of half minute or so he
suddenly bolted for the door, and, with
cut waiting for the car to stop, jumped
off and rapidly disappeared down side
street.
At that moment the object of the fat
mans alarm became apparent to the
other occupants of the car. 1t was q
harmless little tewapin attached to a
gold chain and was crawling about over
the young woman's bosom in it's efforts
to escape. The fat man evidently could
not believe his eyes, but the thing was
very much alive.
This little creature is simply fore
runner of fad that has been taken
up by ultra fashionable people in New
York. 1t bids fair to become more pop
ular than the chameleon because the
terrapin is less repulsive to women and
is not so delicate. All it requires is
bowl of water at night and few flies
for its breakfast and supper. On this
treatment it will live long time.
His shell is capable of taking on
high polish, and when attached to
gold chain makes an ornament that
is very much admired by some people.
Some ladies find it difficult to overcome
their squeamishness when the cold and
clammy pet attempts to warm its feet
on their bare skin, but when fashion
dictates that it shall be worn little
thing like this is not allowed to count.
