trict, took the oath of office at the
opening of the session of the house.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of a
joint resolution for the payment of
the salaries of certain consuls general
and consuls the name of whose posts
were changed in the last consular and
diplomatic bill. He explained that un
less immediate provision was made
these officials could not draw salary
after July 1. There was no objection
and the resolution was passed.
Mr.. Payne of New York then moved

Washington, June Is. - The senate
debate on the sugar schedule of the
tariff bill proceeded with only one di-
verting incident to relieve the monot-
ony into which the discussion has
lapsed This was the sharp exchange
between Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts
and Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina,
representing the two extremes of sen
atorial procedure. Mr.. Tillman re-
ferred to published charges of irregu-
larity in connection with the sugar
schedule, and asserted that the senate
would stand convicted before the
American people if it failed to investi-
gate the charges. Mr.. Hoar calmly
impelled this statement, his tone and
language being calculated as a rebuke.
He declared that the vague charges Of
irregularity were not only preposter-
GUS, but infamous. Mr.. Allison, in
charge of the bill, made another
speech in defense of the schedule, pre-
T senting tables which he declared
proved that the sugar refiners received
less protection unde. the senate sched-
ule than under the existing law. Mr.
Pettigrew Of South Dakota spoke at
some length in favor of his amend
ment to place on the free list articles
controlled by the trusts, severely ar
raigning the various large trusts. Mr..
Allen of Nebraska urged legal proceed
ure against the trusts. Only one roll
call occurred during the day, on Mr..
Lindsay's amendment to place all SUI
CARS on the same basis. This was re-
! jected-29 to 26. Mr.. McEnery voted
| with the Republicans in the negative
and Senators Pettigrew and Mantle
with the Democrats in the aftirma-
/ tive.

snake and Rabbit.

Correspondence Register.
While driving along the road in
Robinson District, near what is
known as the Four Bridges, the
writer's attention was attracted by,
a tussle in the grass at the road
side and the cries of a small rab-
bit. Investigation revealed the
fact that snake, three or four feet
in length, had attacked the little
rabbit apparently with intent to
deyour it, when suddenly an old
rabbit came bounding up from the
brush near by and standing erect
on its hind legs viewed the situa-
ton a moment, then seized the
snake with its mouth and proceed
ed. to administer such a shaking
that the small rabbit was released
and skipped out" while the big
rabbit proceeded with the shaking.
When apparently exhausted it
released its hold, and the snake
started to .'go," when it was again
seized and jerked violently several
times. When released again it
went off as if perfectly satisfied
that it had a plenty of rabbit.
The old rabbit watched the snake
leave, with a look that seemed to
say 'if you need more you viii get
it" then quietly hoped away and
disappeared. ZENo

POINT PLEASANT, w. Va, July 2.
Mr.. EDITOR: Our friends and
loved ones are taken from us,
and we grieve and cannot be
comforted, but how soon they
are forgotten, if one judges by the
way their graves are neglected. /
visited Lone Oak Cemetery, and to
say I was surprised and shocked,
would but feebly express my feel
ings. Weeds everywhere-weeds
little and weeds big from one foot
to four or five feet high. I do not
see how they grow in such miser-
able sandy soil. Now I ask, can
not something be done, can not
some men be hired and put our
cemetery in good order, that it may
not be disgrace to us? ~

Picnic Mt Lock II.

Col. Munford's we'll known hos
pitality excelled itself yesterday on
the occasion of a picnic he gave at
Lock IL to his numerous employees
there, and host of personal friends.
In the afternoon the Ada V took a
large party from Point Pleasant to
join those already assembled at the
Lock, and thenceafter the merri-
ment knew no abatement. There
were bicycle races, foot races, horse
races, skiff races, wheelbarrow races
and every other kind of races, al
most, and as for each, prizes worth
the winning, we're offered, the in
terest taken in them was general
and pronounced. Excellent re-
freshments were served and moth
ing left undone that could con-
tribute to the enjoyment and en-
tertainment of those present. In
the arduous duties of entertaining
his guests Col. Munford was adj
mirably assisted by Messrs. S. III.
Reynolds and g. w. Yielding, who
were almost as indefatigable as the
genial Colonel himself in minister
ing to the wants of the merry pic
nickers. In the evening Col. Mum
ford chartered the Ada V and took
many of his friends on trip to
Gallipolis. The band accompanied
the voyagers and made agreeable
music on the waters, both going
and coming, and another interest
ing feature of the trip was the
splendid display of fireworks made
on both occasions, and which look
ed lovely, viewed from the banks of
the stream. At Gallipolis the party
called upon Mr. Nat Bryan. at the
Park Central, and were most cor
daily welcomed by that popular
host. The party then returned to
Point Pleasant, voting the excur-
sion one of the most successful and
enjoyable they had participated in
in a long time. While on board
the Ada V Captain Varian made
his patrons thoroughly comfortable
and earned the praise of all for the
trimness and neatness of his pretty
little craft.

If the county school book board,
should change the school books,
and give the contract to different
publishing house, it would entail a
tax upon the school patrons of this
county of $4,000, for the five years
the contract would run, and that
the change will be made there is
now no doubt. School patrons had
better get an injunction and have
the constitutionality of the law
passed upon.

but out of pure spirit of devilish-

know that they were committing a
crime that is punishable most
severely, and this little piece of
fun may land some of them in
prison or the reform school.

Allegheny wants the government
to levee the Allegheny river 80 that
high water will no longer flood the
lower portion of the city. The idea
is a good one. The abutting prop
erty along the banks of the Missis-
sippi is protected at the expense of
the general government. Why
should not the abutting property
along the banks of the Ohio re-
ceive a portion of the same pro
lection, especially in populated
communities. If Allegheny gets
it, other towns viii follow, and
finally the improyent viii getas far
down as Point Pleasant. It is q
good thing, and should have the
support of towns adjacent to the
river.
