Will be Reported to the Full Com
mittee TomOrrow-Will Stay
There Ten DAYS.

Washington, D. c.. May 3.-Senator
Allison, chairman of the Republican sub
committee which is preparing the tariff
bill for the Senate, had a conference to-
day with the Democratic members of the
finance committee and arranged with
them a programme for getting the bill
into the Senate According to this agree
ment the bill will be reported to the full
committee tomorrow and it will then be
passed on to the Senate as soon as Re
publicans make it manifest that they
have had majority favorable to its be-
ing reported.
Mr. Allison renewed the effort to Sc
cure consent to having the bill reported
after tOmOrroW's meeting without condl-
tons, but the Democrats refused to ac-
cede. They would only agree not 70 in
sist upon holding the bill in committee
for detailed inspection after the Repub-
Leans had shown that they had Il clear
majority in committee favorable % the
bill. Senator Allison accepted these
terms.
This arrangement will throw the re-
sponsibility of deciding the length of the
time the bill shall be held upon Senator
Jones Of Nevada (Sil.-Rep.), who holds
the balance of power. He was opposed
at first to an immediate report, but the
indications now are quite decisive that he
will not lend himself to any prolonged
consideration of the bill in committee.
He has practically said as much to his
friends.
The Democrats expect that the bill will
be held in committee for two or three
days, but do not count upon OBTAINING it
for the two weeks, which is the time
they first asked for. After it is reported
the bill will be allowed to lie on the table
for ten days or two weeks before Icing
taken up for debate.

Weird Concert.

There was a queer scene in the Paris
catacombs the other day. Some forty
musicians and a rather more numerous
audience assembled there to indulge in
their taste for the grewsome. Sitting on
damp chairs, which had been placed at
one of the crossways of the intricate and
interminable galleries, lined on each side
with skulls and human bones, a concert
was given, which will long be remem-
bered by those who participated III it as
musicians or listened to it as the audi
ence. The programme comprised Cho-
pins Funeral March," Beethoven's
Funeral March," Saint-Saens' Death
Dance" etc The musicians were from
the Conservatoire of Music, and the audi
ence was composed of people of position.

CONDITION OF WHEAT.
Winter Growth is Very Low, but
the Spring Area will be
Very HeaVy.

Chicago, H., May 3.-The Orange Judd
Farmer report of wheat condition
throughout the country was bullish as re-
CARDS winter wheat and bearish concern
ing spring. 1t indicated winter wheat as
verging upon sensationally low condition,
but the spring wheat area promising to
exceed by 100000 acres that of the
previous season. 1t is considered, how
ever, as on the whole bullish. The visi-
BILE supply was also a favora bic present
ment for the bulls. The reduction for the
week was 1,7S9,O0O bushels compared
with 2,127 600 bushels ON the similar
date a year ago. The decrease last week.
although so much smaller than last years,
was larger than expected. The worlds
shipments to the United Kingdom and
Europe last week amounted to 1927, 900
bushels compared with 6,662, 900 bushels
at the similar time year ago. The

Queer Divorce Laws in Egypt.

The divorce laws Of Egypt beat those
of South Dakota. In that country a wife
may be divorced twice and then return
to her husband. If the husband divorce
the woman, third time. and with a
triple divorce declared, send her away, he
cannot live with her again until she has
been one month married to another man.
After the third divorce the husband must
pay the part of the dover which was
set aside for the wife before maria &c
and he must support her out of his house
during the three months in which she
may not marry again. If the wife be
separated from the man and not divorced,
she receives a weekly allowance from
him

To Wash Glassware.

Glassware is so constantly broken in
the washing that it is we'll to have this
simple rule impressed upon the mind of
the maid who has its care in charge. A
glistening, polished surface can be best
attained by immersion in hot, soapy wa
ter, followed by thorough rinsingn anoth-
er water equally warm. If the glass is put
into the pan and the water added, it is
pretty sure to crack; if it is added to the
water, there is no danger whatever no
matter how great the heat. Servants
seem slow to understand this difference
and sometimes demonstration is better
than theory, since the matter depends
entirely upon how it is done.-New York

You Have Waited for This.

There are many people who would be
glad to abandon the habit of drinking
coffee if they could only find substi-
tute for it. That substitute is Grain-Oy
made from pure grains and beverage
in every way preferable to coffee.
Grain-O is not stfmulant-it is some
thing better. 1t is Cheering, nutritious
and Strengthening. In other words it
is food-drink, as coffee Is not. It is
acceptable to the most delicate stom-
ach, and agrees with confirmed dyspep-
ties. Unlike coffee Grain-O produces
no nervous action. 1t never interfereS
with sleep. AS for the flavor of Grain-O,
people who use it say that after using
it week or two they like it's taste bet
ter than that Of coffee. Grain-O is sold
by all grocers at 15c. and 25c. per pack

the Balm thoroughly and in an hours

applies it whenever she feels an ache or a
