Some days ago, writes w. E. Curtis,
from Washington, to the Chicago Rec
ord, told the story of lady clerk in
the patent office who asked Commis-
sioner Butterworth to promote the
woman at the next desk instead of her
self, because her associate had serious
sickness in her family and was sadly
III need of the money. 1t was then
that MIR. Butterworth said he was sure
he was looking IL true God-fearing
woman i'll the face. But he did not
forget her, and the next vacancy, that
occurred she was promoted, so that
both women are now receiving an adj
vance of salary. The name of this un-
selfish woman is Mrs. Frances b..
Erwin, of Louisiana; the name of her
associate for whom she relinquished
her promotion is Miss Hattie Sears, of
Virginia.

INTRODUCED In The HOUSE
The Appropriations That Failed
Last Month Presented.
The Sundry Civil Bill Not Likely To
Be Changed Deficiency Items
in Danger.

There were introduced in the House on
Monday ninety public bills and 2sS private
In the former were appropriation bills of
the last session which failed for lack OF
the Presidents signature and otherwise
These are the deficiency, agricultural, In
dian and sundry civil. They We're offered
by Mr.. Cannon, chairman OF the Appropria.
tons Committee in the late House
Other bills OF interest in the District
were by Mr.. Bull, for a statle here OF James
q. Blaine, same its Offered by him last ses
sion; by Mr.. Sprague, To establish a classi-
fication division for the Patent Office: to
provide for the publication by the Depart
ment of State OF historical manuscripts in
the Department of State. the records of the
Continental Congress, Revolutionary rec
ords, rolls now in the possession of the Gov
eminent and such as may be loaned or con
tributed by States; by Mr.. Gibson, TO codify
the pension laws.
Mr.. Bennett introduced a bill TO organ
ize naval battalion in this District 1t
is practically the same as introduced in
the Fifty-fourth Congress.
The introduction OF the sundry civil bill
exactly as il passed both houses at the
last Congress, and the certainty that 1t
will be so reported, removes a great deal
OF doubt concerning the District amend
ments contained in the bill. There is lit
tie question that the bill will pass both
houses exactly as before, Notwithstanding
the large number OF amendments which
were added by the Senate and finally re-
tanned in conference.
The electric lighting controversy can
therefore be regarded as definitely set
tied. Although the provisions of the Dis
trict bill, which became a law, and the
sundry civil bill, which failed, were some
what different in detail they were along
the same lines, and there Will presumably
be no change in the status of the rival COM
panies as respectively established by the
agreement reached few DAYS before the
adjournment of the last Congress.
The District items in The deficiency bill,
which are familiar to the readers of Tie
Times from having been published in full.
are perhaps in more danger of alteration,
because the House committee has struck
out a large number of the Senate amend
nlents to this hill The deficiency bill, it
Will be remembered, did not reach the
same stage a s the sundry civil bill. 1t
wasn't agreed to and failed il conference
instead Of being pocketed hy the President
This bill, therefore, seems likely to be
subject to many, and perhaps extensive,
amendments, and the Disti let items which
it carries may be greatly imperillcd in
the House, and in conference, because the
Senate is likely to maintain its position
upon the amendments which it added and
insisted upon in the last days Of the old
CONGRESS-

dissatisfied
Mr. Hanlon, when asked what he had
offered Mcmahon this year, declined TO
state the figures.
"Isitmore than 81 ,500?'' he was asked.
Yes, it is more than ST 800. but l have
never made it practice to let the public
know what we pay our players. l do not
intend to do it now. If Mcmahon signs at
the figures | have offered him, all well
and good: if he does not, we will get along
without him. / rather think l have done
the square thing by McMahOn. and we
will try and find work for him il he comes

"Do you expect 60 win the pennant again,

pulled out.
without the shadow Of q doubt was
the confident reply, and the engines whistle
said, "Yes, yes,'' as the long train sped
