AS an Illustration of the affability and
womanliness of Mrs. w. J. Bryan an
incident is related by J. L. Crowley
which occurred at Chicago soon after
Mr. Bryan received the nomination on
the Democratic ticket. At the conven-
ton Mrs. DR.. Ferguson OF Utah was the
only female delegate. in fact the only
woman delegate who ever attended a
national convention. This fact aroused
the interest of Mrs. Bryan and when Mrs
Ferguson expressed desire for an in
terview with Mrs. Bryan. although the
latter was the most occupied lady in
Chicago she readily consented and the
two had a most cordial chat and since
have been friends.

THE DRUMMER'S LATEST.
In the Theatre He Had More Fun
Than Was Intended.

American Commercial Traveller: The
drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here it is:
Take a spool of white hasting cot
ton Drop it into your inside coat
pocket, and. threading needle with
it. pass it up through the shoulder of
your coat. Leave the end an inch or
so long on the outside of your coat and
take off the needle. Four men out Of
five viii try to pick that whole thread
off your shoulder. and Will pull on the
spool until it actually does seem as
though your clothes are all hastings.
and that they are unraveIinS not only
your clothes. but yourself
l was TO see Wilson Barrett in
Claudian in Boston last week" said
the travelling man. 1t was in the most
interesting and pathetic portion of the
play. Everybody was rapt. 1 was
sitting bold upright, and didn't know
or care TO know Il soul around me,
when suddenly [ felt some one tug
ging at the basting cotton that I my
self had clean forgotten. / didn't say
word and did not move Foot by
foot it unrolled. Half gls ncing around,
! saw a mana total stranger-yank-
ing at the thread. His face was scar
let. He had pulled out about ten
yards. and was hauling in hand over
hand. He didn't care to stop, because
ne ndd decorated my BACK ana the
whole aisle with basting cotton. He
hardly dared TO so ahead. for he didn't
know what portion of my domestic
interior economy he was trifling with.
Rip. ripi went the thread. Hand over
hand he yanked it IN. The aisle was
full of it. For heavens sake, viii it
never end?' said he above his breath.
Il sat perfectly still and ran the
spool while he pulled. How I wanted
to yell. l never saw anything half so
funny. The whole section of the house
got on to it. They didn't know whether
to laugh at me or him but sat and
looked on amazed at the spectacle. At
last the stranger gave one frantic rip
and yanked out about II yards in one
bunch, and as the cotton got twisted
around his watch chain. over his eye
glasses, in his hair and filed his lap,
turned around and, producing the
spool from my pocket. said, I am
sorry I miSled you. You see, I have

that you don't care for any more to-

NORTH CAROLINA.
LEGISLATURE Will Meet Wednesday,
Buffers Powers.

Raleigh, N c., Jan. members of
the legislature, which meets Wednes-
day. are arriving in great numbers.
The Republicans will hold caucus
Tuesday night. They say they are
very DESTROYS that the Populists shall
hold q Joint caucus with them on all
matters. The Populist state chairman
reiterates his statement that there will
be no Joint caucus. He declares he is
we'll pleased with the situation. but de-
clines to say more. The Democrats
state that they expect overtures from
Senator Butler The whole matter
hinges on one thing. this being Buffers
ability to keep the Republicans in line.
There are three classes of Populists,
the middle of the readers, those of Re
publican Droclivities, and those who
lean towards the Democrats. The
Democrats say they believe Butler can
control a majority OF their caucus.
They positively deny that the Repub-
licans have 70 votes in the Legislature,
as claimed.

have been transferred to a new mining
and smelling company. in which promi-
nent New Workers and Philadelphians are
interested.
The corporation, under the title of the
Edgemont and Union Hill Smelling COM
pany, came into legal existence early
last night at its general office in the
corporation Trust company building in
Jersey City, by executing its articles Of
incorporation and electing a board of di-
rectors, which immeditely selected the
officers of the corporation. When this

Washington, Jan. 3.-When the sem
ate meets Tuesday morning, it is quite
likely that the debate on matters per-
tanning to our foreign relations and the
position assumed by Secretary Olney
for the executive, will at once begin ito
take shape.
Whether Mr.. Cameron will call up
the Cuban resolution on the opening
day of the session, is not vet known,
for that senator has not yet returned
to the city, and the subject is entirely
in his hands. It is hardly thought that
he will seek to force the issue on the
opening day, owing to the fact that
there is not likely TO be quorum of
the senate present.
During the morning hour, however,
under any guise that may be put for
ward, the debate on the subject can be
commenced. but it must give way to
the unfinished business at 2 o'clock,
unless there are sufficient votes to dis
place the Oklahoma free homestead bill
with the more pressing question of
Cuba. The homestead bill, which is
championed by Mr.. Pettigrew, is not to
have free sailing. A strong minority
report by Mr.. Plat is to be presented,
and that senator will lead the oppoSi-
ton on the floor of the senate.
Mr. Hale, VINO is looked upon as the
leader of the anti-Cuban recognition
sentiment in the senate, said yesterday
that several senators who had been
heretofore silent on the subject had
come out against tie Cameron resolu-
ton, and there was now no possible
chance for its passage.
On the other hand, Messrs. Cameron,
Lodge, Chandler, Morgan and Mills as
sert that the sentiment favoring action
by congress is becoming more vigorous.
and that the fighting will be forced
from the start. Mr.. Hale, who, in the
absence of Mr.. Allison, is acting as
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, expects to have the army bill
to the senate Wednesday, and
this will be put forward to antagonize
the Cuban proposition.
Two speeches are booked for the COM
ing week. one by Mr.. PETER (probably
Wednesday, on his resolution for the
appointment of a national monetary
conference, and another by Mr.. Proc |
tor, on the joint resolutions providing
for the election of president and vice |
president and senators by popular vote. |

IN THE HOUSE.
Business Arranged For the First
Week of the Year.

Washington, Jan. 2.-JuSt before the
holiday recess the house of representa-
tives, upon the recommendation of the
committee on rules. arranged the bust
ness of the house for the,frst week OF the
new year
On Tuesday and Wednesday. the Loud
bin to amend the postal laws so as to
prohibit the transmission in the mail of
serial novel publications, and sample
copies of newspapers al the second-class
rate. will be the special order. Discus
sion under the general rule will continue
from Immediately after the reading of the
journal on Tuesday. the 9Th inst, until
2 p. n. on Wednesday. and under the
ments until o'clock. when voting will
begin upon pending amendments and the
final passage of the bill. When the bill
was called up. rather unexpectedly, sew
eral weeks ago. it developed surprising
strength. but since then the opposition
has been active. and the chances OF its
passage are now considered rather doubt
full.
After this bill has been disposed of, the
rest of the weel1-Thursday, Friday and
Saturday-will be devoted to the consid-
GRAFTON of the Pacific railroad funding bill
reported by Judge Powers, chairman of
the committee on Pacific railroads Two
days will be given to general discussion
and one day TO debate and action in com
mittee of the whole upon proposed amend
ments. The bill will be reported to the
house at o'clock Saturday, and the
vote on its passage taken on MOncay. the
11th inst, Immediately after the reading
of the journal.
The debate on this measure will doubt
less be interesting. owing to the OPPOSE
ton which exists among members of the
house to the action of the majority of the
committee. The bill proposes to extend
the government lien over all the physical
properties of the companies, which, IL IS
claimed the present lien does not cover,
and substituting for all outstanding OBJ
legations Il new 1 per cent. mortgage,
the government debts TO be carried at
per cent per annum. In addition to this
the Southern Pacific company is re-
ouested to pay the amount charged
against the Central Pacific company so
long as il remains lessee thereof
The amount Of the Union Pacific mort
trail Pacific net $50. S0l. 900. Messrs. Hub
bard of Missouri and Bell OF Texas, have
made minority reports, opposing the
recommendation of the committee, the
former recommending the bill drawn by
Attorney General Harmon and introduced
bv Senators Brice and Morgan to enforce
the government liens upon the properties
the District of Columbia. and the latter
that the debts of the companies be eX-
tended at per cent instead OF ?. secured
by a first mortgage upon all their prop
critics. They will probably lead the de-
bate against the committees bill.
Bv the terms of the orders making
these measures the special business con-
sideration of any, other matters Is smut
out and 1t is will take unanimous con-
sent to act on anything else until the
orders have been exhausted. The only
exception is that on Friday night private
pensions will be discussed for two hours
and a half as usual without quorum

A PRETTY good index of public
energy and enterprise in any locality
is the amount of taxes levied for school
and road purposes. Good schools and
good roads are necessary adjuncts of
the best country life and the communi-
ties which maintain these are the ones
most likely to attract intelligent and
industrious settlers. The districts
which made the largest levies for road
purposes in this county at the recent
election of supervisors are Nos. and
2 on Orcas and 2 and 5 on San Juan,
the levies in those districts ranging
from ITO mills to 8 SO. No. l, San
Juan, levied mills, No. 4, q aud No.
6, 2 3-5. No. 1, Lopez, levied 2 SO and
No. 8, 2 As. The largest school levy
is in the Friday Harbor district, where
the directors have levied five mills for
school purposes and the county COM
misioners six mills for the creation Of a
sinking fund for the redemption Of the
district bonds. The general state and
county levy is 2O1 mills, which includes
two mills for the redemption of out
standing warrants. The state board
of equalization having raised the
county's valuation 100000, it is esti-
mated that county fund warrants to
the amount of about $4,000 will be re-
deemed next year, it is source of some
satisfaction to know that there are no
ten per cent warrants outstanding.
What's the matter with San Juan
county? She's all right

"SPoRTsMEN," so called, are reported
to be hunting deer with dogs on Orcas
island, in open defiance of the law and
public sentiment. The practice, for it
has become practice with many who
rely upon "luck" and the disinclina-
ton of most people to make formal
complaints against their fellow citizens
for attractions of the law that do not
directly concern them to escape pun
ishment, ought to be stopped. The
deer will disappear soon enough from
the forests, hills and valleys of Orcas
and other islands of the county if they
are hunted only as the law provides
that they may be. Whoever knows of
their being hunted by dogs should
make proper complaint to the nearest
authority.
