QUEER PRAYERS, THESE.
ARKANSAS AND HAVE
FREAKISH CHAPLAINS.
One Gave the Deity Information While
the Other Wanted BimetaliiSm,
Prosperity and Deliyerance
from Grover.

The story of the prayer cf Rev. Mr..
Dannelley, chaplain of the Arkansas leg
islature, in which he took occasion to es-
pecially inform the Deity of the move
ments of William J. Bryan, has brought
several Other utterance on the same line.
One Of these is the prayer of the Ala
bama legislature, delivered some time
ago, This is worth producing:
go Lord, look down upon us and guide
our footsteps from the pitfalls which
hem us in. This town is full of pitfalls.
Look after the members of this honora
bic body, o Lord, and keep them true
and decent. Keep them from the saloons
and dens of evil; and, Lord, keep an eye
on the newspaper reporters, and see that
they act righteously and write righteous
ly, Help the suffering Cubans, good
Father, and prompt congress to disre-
gard an unhOly presidents mandate and
give succOr to the afflicted on that isle.
And, o Lord, hear US now, smile on US
and keep and protect us from the gan
! grened and corrupt influences and sway
of Buzzard's Bay. Give us prosperity
and bimetallism. Speed this assembly
in it's work. Amen"
The Arkansas prayer is more personal,
in that it named names, but in that re-
spect alone. Here is Mr.. Dannelley's eff
fort: It too should be preserved:
almighty God, our gracious heavenly
Father, through Thy kind providence we
have lived to see another day, and the
city of Little Rock is astir because
of the arrival of distinguished guest in
the person OF the Hon. w. J. Bryan, W no,
according to previous arrangement, was
to have arrived on yesterday, but was
unavoidably detained, which caused him
not to be able to meet his engagement
but no serious accident having befalen
him, he arrived at an early hour this
morning and was met and greeted by
thousands. This distinguished guest is
considered onelOf thegreatest men of the
continent In some respects; travelled rs
far and deliver as many or more speech
es in the same length of time as any 9TH
er man upon the continent. We pray
Gods protecting care over him, and that
no serious accident may befall him while
on return to his home and family. MAY
Gods blessings rest upon the audience
that may assemble here ;oday, and that
none of them may meet with accidenC Or
harm May heavens choicest blessings
rest upon the general assembly now con
vened in this city, and especially the
senate. May they finish their work with
credit to themselves and honor to the
government, and when their work is done
return to their homes and their families,
and finally may we ali meet in the home
and heaven of the blest. These favors
we ask ia Chris.S name. Amen"

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from la grippe is
of its resulting in pneumonia. If reason
able care is used, however, and Cham
berlaln's Cough Remedy taken, all dan
ger will be avoided. Amoug the tens of
thousands who have used this remedy
for Ia grippe, we have yet t. learn of a
single case having resulted in pneumo-
mia, which shows conclusively that this
remedy is certain preventive of that
dread disease. 1t will effect a perma.
nent cure in less time than any other
treatment. The % and 80 cent sizes for

The decision of Postmaster-G General
Gary regarding the tenure of office of
certain postmasters is hailed with delight
by the Gins" and cuts the hungry horde
of office seekers out of their pie for a
time, at least,
He announces that all postmasters of
the fourth class, as we'll as those of pres
idential appointment, will be allowed
to serve term of four years unless re-
moved for cause.
Postmaster Lowrey comes under this
head as a presidential appointee and will
therefore, serve the remainder of his
term, which expires about year hence.

He soon tired of this and began to sing
a hymn. Everybody in the house but
the sleeoing baby and the Chinese cook
joined in this.
The family ate breakfast gaiiy and
lOunged about for an hour. The black
smith champion took young Bob in his
arms, kissed him and tossed him in the
air.
"Hey, you big Stiff" he said, "do you
think you could knock me out?''
He made sudden left-hand jab at the
youngster and stopped his fist, that pom,
derous and freckled trip-hammer, just
as it grazed the babV's pink cheeks.
There is a wonderful resemblance be-
tween the boy and his father. The feat

FITZ CELEBRATED MODESTLY
DRANK COFFEE INSTEAD OF WINE
AFTER THE GREAT BATTLE.
Story Of the Afternoon and Evening
of the Battle Day. He Would
Not DiSsipate.

CARSON CITY. Several rumors have
been circulated as to how Fitzsimmons,
the worlds heavy weight champion, Gel
ebrated Wednesdays victory.
After the fight and the victory Fitz-
simmons returned to his training quar-
ters from the ringside in company with
Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
The new champion very carefully tied
his horse in honest farmer fashion, help
ed his wife out of the buggy and walked
into the house with her. A farmer
whose red OK had won the prize for fat
ness at back county fair would show
more signs OF JOY than this long, lanky,
silent man. The nurse came busting
into the dining-room with Master Bob
Fitz, Jr., in her arms.
Hey, you old stiff" cried Fitz, his
blue eyes dancing merrily as he poked a
long freckled finger against the little
chaps body, tickling him in relatively
the same spot where his crunching fist
had laid COrbett low less than an hour
before. He kissed his little son and pat
ted him on the head.
Hey, is dinner ready?'' he asked his
Chinese cook. 'pm hungry now"
Down they sat to a modest meal, this
pair of Spartans, laughing as they talked
of the battle. During the afternoon the
long-legged man played around the
ranch like a schoolboy on vacation,
romped with the baby aud talked with
his wife about the pretty little house
they would buy in New York as soon as
they should lay by little money. For
a pretty little house in New York is
their aim now that Bob has announced
his retirement from the ring. Supper
was at o'clock.
He PLAYED CHECKERS
Shortly after it was finished this farm
er-like champion drove to town. He
showed himself in the streets and was
gaped at and pointed out by the crowd.
His right hand was bandaged and his
pulled and swollen lower lip was incased
in court plaster. otherwise he look ed
about as usual, certainly not in the least
distressed. Fitz soon tired of the noisy
town, for the streets were filled with
drunken men and he was anxious to get

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Our regular correspondent in his favor
.of the 9Th inst. says:
i Everybody has seen the clowns in the
circus who make great prctense of
working Without doing much of any
ching that is useful. With due apollo
.ies 10 the dignity of that august body,
,'hr Senate is AZ u whole doing just what
those clowns do. Circumstances rather
than individuals are to blame for this.
The division OF parties in the Senate
makes it itinpossible to putthroueh legis-
.lation that is opposed to either OF the
three parties, and about every import
ant measure on the Senate calendar,
aside from the appropriation bill comes
in this category.
A mild sort OF II sensation was created
by the announcement that Represent
aative Murray, the colored republican
from South Carolina, proposed to enter
protest against counting the votes OF
that state when the Senate and House
this week assembled in joint session to
count the electoral votes and officially
declare the vote of the presidential elec-
ton, but as the protest win not apnar-
emily be backed by the republican
leaders there is no expectation that it
win amount to more than passing
incident. The basis of, the protest is
the new constitution OF south Carolina
which DISTINGUISHES illiterateI.
Representative Coriss iias introduced
joint resolution providing for consii-
tntional amendment extending the term
Of representatives to four years. There
are plenty of men in Congress who
would favor the proposed amendment,
but it is not probable that the people
will give up the privilege of expressing
their opinion OF Congressional legisla-
tion every two years by their votes.
Whether it was the rumor that Presi-
dent Cleveland would veto the Immi-
grafton bill, because the clause that
would separate husband and wife, il one
could read and the other could not, or
the strong opposition 80 that ciadse in
the Senate, that caused the conference.
report to be rejected and the bill further
amended by the Senate so as to meet
the Objection to that clause, is not mater
ial. There is no question that the bil,as
amended is more humine than it was,
while it has lost none of the advantages
of it's restriction features.

A LAWYERS FEES
Brothers of the Long Robe Testify to the
federation of the Charges

Some very strong testimony was put
in yesterday in the suit which the law
firm of Marble & Phibbs are waging
against the city of Redondo to recover
$695 as fees for professional advice
The services of the plaintiff firm were
enlisted in behalf of the city of Redondo,
with a retainer of $50 a month, on two
years contract, all cases to which the
seaside city might be party originating
in the superior court to be considered
as outside and apart from the contract.
The testimony given yesterday by Il.
M. Marble, one of the partners of the
plaintiff firm, w. A. Ryan and Max Lo-
Wenthal, tended to show that the legal
charges made for the conduct of these
outside cases were moderate in the ex-
treme. AT the same time the indica-
tions seemed to point to the fact that
other causes We're at work to occasion
the trustees of Redondo to dispense with
the services of tehir legal advisers
one suit brought against the city was
on BOND given by merchant, wherein
the Valldlty OF the incorporate of Re-
dondo was challenged The point raised
presented many difficulties and required
careful handling but the fee demanded
the services of their legal alviser
suit was started by the city against
Gregory Perkins. jr., as trustee to GER
tain property The case hinged upon
certain building having been built to
so project upon the street as to. techni-
caliy, form an obstruction that he had
maintained for several years. The mat
