THESE ARE NOT THE MEN
Says Congressman Hill, to Deal With
the Monetary Conference Matter.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The interest in
congress in the question of an interna-
tional monetary conference was shown
today by the presence in the house COM
mittee on coinage of members to listen
to reports on resolutions before the
committee.
Several of the members of the COM
mittee on bank and currency took part
in the debate. The first speaker was
Representative Hill, (Rep., Comm who
spoke from a political standpoint bit
terly denouncing the senate for at
tempting to lay a trap to ensnare the
Republican party.
Referring to Senator Chadler he said
the proposition was thrust upon the in
coming president by a senator who had
bitterly opposed his nomination and
that that senator had been sustained
and seconded by the chairman of the
national Democratic committee 1.-The
proposition is born of a mother who
loves it not he said. More than one
half of its opponents in the senate he
added, had been Republicans while free
silver men who would work to bring it
to naught voted for it. He continued:
THE Stilted phrases of a platform die
tated by half mature thought in June
should be read in the blazing light of
the November victory
No responsibility rested on this con-
gresS in the matter, nor should a Demo-
cratic president be called upon to sign
the resolution.
The wishes of gold Democrats who
had been the allies of the Republicans
and who declared for the single gold
standard, Mr. Hill said, should be con-
suited. Other planks of the St. Louis
platform, those relating to Cuba, to i'm
migrate and others, had been diSre-
garded, why he asked, should congress
rush to fulfill this single plank? This
was not the time, these not the men
and these not the propositions which
the st. Louis platform had contempla-
ted. The utterance of that platform on
the money question had been modified
by the subsequent Chicago platform
and alliance of Republicans and gold
Democrats.
Representative Hartman of Montana,
and Towne of Minnesota, two boilers
from the st. Louis convention, asked
Mr.. Hill several questions.
Mr.. Hill said this government should
not subject itself again to chagrin by
calling another conference which for
eign delegates would attend merely as a
matter of courtesy. Any accomplish
ment must be by diplomatic negotia-
lions with Great Rritair

WELLINGTON rRAmps' HONE
Have Cabin Built Where TheyDwen
Undisturbed.

Wellington, Feb. 9.-The Rock Island
railroad yards and the junction of the
Santa Fe and Rock Island roads near
Slate creek are the nightly scenes of
rOwdyism and drunkenness
All the trampS that travel south on
the Rock Island and west on the Santa
Fe makes these places a sort of an in
terstate foyer where experiences are
exchanged and tips given on various
things of interest to the ''profesh, such
as what is called an easy town. or
''sloW road
During the past few weeks these
buns have been making their head
quarters at these places in large num-
bers. and sometimes the nights are
made hideous with their noise
The ever-changing crowd has built up
commodious quarters near Slate creek
where every member of the fraternity
gathers at night to escape the biting
winds and indulge in chimerical past
times usual with this sort of HUMANITY
They have cabin built of railroad ties
over and around which is thrown old
quilts and pieces of canvas to keep out
the cold.
During the day several of the home
less pariahs will go out into the sJ-
burbs and beg handouts. At meal time
which usually occurs after nightfaIl
for they are satisfied with one meal a
day, they gather in their improviscd
nome and build q fire, sit around it and
sing songs, tell yarns and relate their
travels and experiences

QUEEN NATALIE.S NECK.
Its Beauty and Symmetry Is the Talk of
All Europe.

Its Beauty and Symmetry La the Talk of
All Europe.
The most beautiful queen of Europe
is Natalie of Servia, and her greatest
beauty is her neck. The world has just
been let into the secret of the method
which has largely enabled her to de-
velop thischarming feature
The queen takes frequent and regular
exercise with heavy pitcher on her
head. The result of this is to straight
en- and strengthen the neck and to give
it the form which the highest standard
of female beauty requires. Not only
does the exercise add to present beauty,
but it arrests the ravages which time
makes more quickly in the female neck
than in any other place.
Natalie is a woman whose career
has perhaps been more exciting and pic
turesque than that of any living oc-
cupant of a European throne Her
beauty is of an order that is in keeping
with the vigor of her character.
Neither amiability nor feminine gentle
ness enters into the latter to a notice
able degree.
Natalie is now living in the dignity
proper to the rank of a queen-dowager,
while her husband has pension. but is
not allowed to enter his own country.
He spends his money as soon as he gets
it in drink and riotous living. The rest
of the quarter he lives by begging. Dor
rowing. sponging and playing cards.
The queen, on the other hand, engages
in the much more laudable and whole
some employment of preserving her
neck and shoulders.
If you could obtain admission to the
grounds of the queens residence near
Belgrade, at about eight o'clock in the
morning, you would see her majesty
taking brisk walk, with her pitcher on
her shapely head. She is accompanied
by dame d'honneur. who is not herself
an expert in the art of pitcher carrying.
Queen Natalie has very abundant
black hair and rich coloring. She is a
very finely developed woman. Her fig
ure is very strong and erect and her car
riage is perfect. for her favorite exer-
else tends to develop the latter quality
as we'll as to beautify the neck and Shout
ders. These are adorable and beyond
all criticism. She takes care to dress
in way to show these to the best ad-
vantage.
From chin to bust Queen Natalie's
flesh has the firmness of marble; Al
though, unlike that substance, it is full
