Mr. Teller moved an amendment, in
Guiding in the free list rough lumber
manufactured Of white pine"
The Senator criticised the course OF the
committee in placing white pine on the
dutiable list. thus encouraging the de-
struction Of pine when II was known the
supply would not last eight years. MT.
Teller said he was for protection, nut
he would not carry u TO extremes. com
polling every man building home or
using a stick TO pay tribute 10 the rev
owners of pine. This Was not Republican
doctrine. which was opposed TO the al
vance Of prices I'm tho necessaries or NE.
Mir Teller declared that the duty on
pine was one Of the many absolutely IN
defensibe features of this bill.
This opened the discussion on the duty
on white pine. which was vigorously con-
tested in the early stages Of the bill
resulting at that time in retaining pine
on the dutiable list at s. per thousand
feet.
Senators Gray and Mantle supported
Mr. Teilers motion.
Mr.. Spooncr opposed the me don. on
the ground that The duty was fair
measure Of protection to an extensive in
dustry of three border states. This was
not a proposition 20 place all kinds Of
lumber. those Of Maine and the South and
West. on the free list, but merely to dis
criminate against the whl'e pine OF three
States. The amendment was defeated.
Mr. Mantle moved to reduce the d".Y
on white pine from 81 to 81 per thousand
feet. He read from the statement Of a
lumber man that 80 rate would be pro-
hibitory. and he appealed TO Democratic
Senators TO vote untedly. and thus over
come this high rate.
The amendment was carried by the close
vote Of 30 TO 81, after another break IN
party lines on both sides OF the chamber.
At 535 L. NJ. the bill was laid aside
and. after an executive session, the Sen
ate adjourned.

1t is one of the most remarka BILE cases
on record, as the women are all prominent
socially, all family women and members
of societies and fraternities. Their sole
motive was vanity and the desire to dress
we'll and furnish their homes in luxury.

stockings, hundreds OF yards of silk, silB

NEW YORK. Dec 5 On Thanksgiving
evening Samuel G. Parkhill, "a years of
age, of Brooklyn, married Miss Kirkland
of Brooklyn, who was fifty years his
junior. To-day Parkhill committed sui
eide at his home in Brooklyn by shooting
himself through :he brain.
When the couple were married the
families of the two objected strongly TO
the union on account of the disparity in
their ages. They were forced to separate
and since that time Parkhill had ap.
peared somewhat depressed. He lived
with his married dau hter and son, and
when the family was at church he shot
himself. His relatives give no reason for
the suicide beyond the statement tn at
Parkhill had seemed despondent during

Porkhill was a ticket chopper on the
Kings County Elevated road. Previous
to this he was a superini endent of the
Brooklyn City and Newton Railroad and

WESTERN hEc0RDS BROKEN
Wonderfm Speed Attained by Trains
on the Union Pacific During
SDurtS.

OMAHA, Dec. 5.-Celebrating its new
birth the Union Pacific has taken two
more falls out OF Father Time and has
set pace for fast running that will likely
stand in the West for some time. Three
record breaking spurts in one week are its
record. OF the first, the Associated Press
furnished full particulars last Tuesday.
At that time a 500 mile run was made 81
the rate OF 6215 miles an hour, with 100
inile dash at the ra te OF 6S miles an hour.
Yesterday the fast mail was again late in
Wyoming and was danced across the
Nebraska plains at rate that makes the
Tuesday run look slow. 1t covered forty
two miles from Sidney TO Julesburg in 3S
minutes; 81 miles from Julesburg to
North Platte in II minutes; sixty miles,
North Platte to Lexington, in go minutes; !;
thirtv-tlye mites, Lexington 10 Kearney,
in 30 minutes and final dash OF forty
two miles from Kearney to Grand Island
in SO minutes, or seventy miles an hour.
The 26l miles from Sidney to Grand ISL
and was made iii 238 min utes, an ave ra ge
OF $50 miles an hour. From Grand ISL
and to Omaha the run was ordinary, the
lost time having been made up.
To-day the Union Pacific brought the
atrical company on special train from
Jules burg TO Council Bluffs, 294 miles, in
2o6 minutes. From this must be deducted
five minutes for changing engines at
Grand Island, tour minutes delay by a
Missouri Pacific train on the crossing at
Petrol, and necessary slowing up through
Omaha, and 4 slow run over The Missouri
river bridge. The actual running time of
the train was 275 minutes, an average of
63. 8 miles an hour.
