a series of four studies of motive and con-

guised by Mrs. Deland' S skill and mastery

a story or stories until we realize how
deeply they have set us thinking. The
theorist and the practical hand to hand
worker are both needed in trying to bet

towards the Fighting of wrongs brought
to the surface in the light of the new facts
and the vast complications of the present
day. An immense field for the workers

HAWAII DISCUSSED.

Understanding That Treaty Will be
Considered Early Next Session.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-whiIe the
Senate was in executive session today
Senator Morgan suggested the import
ance of taking up and disposing of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty before
final adjournment of this session, but
the suggestion was met by a motion
of Aldrich to resume executive busi-
ness, which prevailed without opposi-
ton.
Morgan did not make a speech, but
he suggested that events of Importance
might transpire before another session
of Congress which would cause the Sen
ate to regret it's action.
The Alabama Senator's suggestion
was not seconded from any source, and
the indisposition of the Senate to con-
slider the matter was made so apparent
that Morgan did not press it. The un-
derstanding is that the treaty will be
taken up Immediately on the conven-
ing of Congress next December.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The tariff
bill passed it's last legislative stage at
| 3 p. m. today, when the Senate by the
decisive vote of 40 to 80 agreed to the
conference report on the bill. The an
nouncement was greeted with enthusi-
astic applause by the crowded cham
Der. This closed the great labor for
which the Fifty-fifth Congress assem-
bled in extraordinary session, and after
stubborn resistance, at times threaten
ing a deadlock, the Senate concurred
with the House in resolution for the
final adjournment of the session at 8
o'clock tonight.
The Presidents message for a cur
rency commission was received by the
commission was not acted on. Thus
the closing day was prolific of a series
of momentous events, each of which
alone would have been of extraordi-
nary interest.
An analysis of the vote on the tariff
conference report shows that the af-
firmative vote was cast by 81 Republi-
cans, one Democrat (McEnery), one
Silver Republican Zones of Nevada)
and one Populist (Stewart).
The negative vote was cast by %
Democrats and two Populists-Harris
and Turner. Teller (Silver Republi-
CAM and two Populists-Allen and
Butler-did not vote. One Populist,
Kyle, and one Silver Republican, Pet
tigrew, were absent, without pairs,
which was equivalent to withdrawing
their vote.
The last step necessary was taken
at the White House when the Presi-
dent affixed his signature at today.
A few moments before o'clock Rep
resentative Dingley appeared at the
White House, accompanied by Repre-
sentative Hager, chairman of the
House Committee on Enrolled Bills.
They were admitted at once into the
presence of Mr.. Mckinley, who was
sitting at the Cabinet table, with Sec
retary Gage and Attorney General Nc
Kenna on one side and the Postmaster
General and Secretary Wilson on the
other. He rose and greeted Mr.. Ding
ley and Mr.. Hager cordially.
Mr. Potter turned to the last sheet Of
the bill and laid the document before
the President. He had several pens at
hand, the owners of which had begged
might be used to sign the tariff act.
But Mr.. Dingley, Unexpectedly taking
a case from his pocket, produced a
beautiful mother of pearl handled pen,
dainty enough for a lady's use, and re-
quested that it be used for the sigma
/ ture.
The President recognized the right
of Mr.. Dingley, though he laughingly
commented on the diminutive size of
the pen.
He steadily appended his signature
to the bill, and wrote July oath, ap-
proved" and that was the end of the
act.
A burst of applause greeted this.
AS the President dropped the pen
Attorney-General McKenna, glancing
at the clock on the mantel, remarked:
'Tt is just four minutes past o'clock. d
The President congratulated Mr.
! Dfngley on the successful ending OF
his long task.

Gov. Leedy Scores the Ex-senator for His
Anti-SalOon speech.

Topeka. May 20-The agitation for
the enforcement of the prohibitory law
in Kansas, renewed rec Ntly by the
State Temperance union, as. a result Of
open violations of the law in Topeka,
has developed a split in the Populist
ranks Governor Leedy appeared at
Hamilton hall, where the temperance
people held a second big mass-meeting.
At the first meeting the governor and
his police commission were roundly de-
nounced for failure TO enforce the pro-
hibitory law.
Governor Leedy startled the audience
by a little denunciation on his own ac-
count He declared that the State Tenn
perance association had fallen into the
hands of agents of the railroads and
corporations, and that they were max
ing Of it a poplitical weapon against the
Populist administration, instead of an
instrumentality for good. He asserted
further that the city government OF
Topeka did not assist the police in their
efforts 10 enforce the law, and he de-
clared that if the temperance people
were honest in their agitation the liquor
traffic would very quickly be abolished.
The governors remarks provoked
retort from ex-United States Senator
Peffer. Il am ashamed of him" the
ex-senator shouted. Mr. PETER de-
plored the governors attack upon the
temperance people and intimated that
the state administration was not sim
cere in it's attitude toward the liquor
traffic Annie l.. Biggs, another Pop
ulist leader, spoke in the same strain.
though she declared that Governor
Leedy was doing as well as any other
governor since John A. Martin, a pro-
nounced temperance man.

oooR LED TO DISCOVERY.
BODY of a Woman Found at the Foot of a
stairway.

I,ody of n Woman Found at the Foot oi
stairway.
Philadelphia, May 2O.-The body OF
Mrs. Amanda Hollingsworth. aged GO
wears. was found late Tuesday night
living at the foot of a stairway in the
house of her son, with whom she made
her home. at 1886 North Eleventh street.
Mrs. Hollingsworth had been missing
since last Friday and her strange dis
appearance had been reported to the
police. The stairway where the body
was found leads from a back room OF
the house TO the second story. There is
a door at the foot of the stairs which
was always kept closed, and the stairs
were seldom used. When the search
was made for the missing woman the
stairway was not thought of. The wom-
an was quite wealthy, but would occa-
aionally WELD to a desire for strong
drink. The theory Of the police, as well
81 that of the family, Is that the woman
fell down the stairs and was injured
90 badly that she remained unconscious
or helpless until death ensued. The
odor from the remains led to the dis
oovery Of the dead woman. For four
davs the family had eaten their meals
within a few feet Of where the BODY
had been lying.
