Mr.. Copper then Gained down and
proceeded with his argument. Through

sat quietly in his seat at the rear of the
hall. He made no response.

of Mr.. Johnson's attack almost drown

HEPBURN SUPPORTS.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep.. la supported the
measure in an extended argument as
the only solution of the problem at this
juncture With regard to the California
opposition 10 the bill, he said the antag-
onism there was against any settlement
that did not predicate the government
ownership and operation of the roads.
He took up some of the statements made
in the course of the debate to show that
they were reckless and utterly without
anu Sdlu II was lilOSS IRE
sponsible statements which clouded the
issue and created much of the opposi-
ton to the measure.
He argued that government ownership
of railroads was bound up in the defeat
of the pending BILL That was why it's
opponents were insistent. This was to
be made the entering wedge. The MEM
bers from California, he said, made no
disguise of their purpose in desiring to
beat the bill, and he predicted that if
they were successful the people of Cali
fornia would suffer the keenest dsap-
pointment. If We took the road without
terminals, he said, We would. as con-
dition precedent,y have TO pay SCI ,000,-
900. the amount of the first mortgage
and then we would have a road which
could be built for less than the dis
charge of the first mortgage cost us.
At o'clock, at the conclusion Of Mr..
Hepburn's remarks. the house took re-
cess until o'clock, the evening session

NO QUORUM.
The evening session of the house was
spent in a vain effort to procure a quo
rum, which was undertaken at the III
stance of Mr.. Erdman Oem., Pa) A
cali of the house was made and after
wards the sergeant-at-armS was direct

Pendings these proceedings there were
repeated motions to adjourn, 10 suspend
further procedure under the call, etc.
At 10 o'clock the sergeant-at-arms
reached the presence of three additional
members, who were brought before the
bar of the house and after making their
explanations, were in turn excused
They were Messrs. Stallings of Alabama
Woodward of North Carolina, and Kle-
berg of Texas.
On motion of Mr.. Thomas the war

ALL Kinds OF JACKSONIANS
And the Kind at Omaha are Not Like the
Kind at Chicago.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. S.-The annual BAN
quet Of the Jacksonian club of this city
was held at the Paxton hotel this evening.
The banquet was really an ovation to
William J. Bryan, with few speeches by
other Democrats to add variety to the &C.
casion.
When the distinguished guest Of the
evening rose to address the people pres
ent, his reception was to the highest de-
gree enthusiastic. He paid a tribute TO
the Populists as being the pioneers in the
movement for governmental reforms, and
compIimented the Republicans who left
their party and voted the Democratic
ticket.
He expressed pleasure over the result
of the election in this state, but did not
attribute that result to the fact that Ne
braska was his home, but rather to the
fact that there was such complete har-
mony among all the forces which made
up the fusion here. He saw in it a
lesson for other states, and said that
when they had the same amount of edu-
cation on the principal subjects in the
Democratic platform as Nebraska had
had, and the same perfect harmony
among the people supporting those ques-
tons, victory would come to their party
in the nation,

when passion and prejudice threaten

and useful
ION an occasion when the character
and achievements of Andrew Jackson
are commemorated the old landmarks of
Democratic faith should be distinctly
pointed out At such time it should be
impressively taught that Democracy is
not disorder; that its regard for popular
rights does not mean the care of only
portion of our people; that its loyalty TO
the Constitution and laws does not mean
petulant challenge of the duty of civic
obedience; that its aggressiveness does
not mean class hatred and sectional vi
tuperation; and that its successes should
never mean mere partisan triumph at the
sacrifice of principle and patriotism.

WomaA's Health.

Employmont That 10 Beneficial TO q
Woman's Health.
The majority of girls have house.
keeping tendencies, and may be easily
trained into accomplished housewives.
In these days of transition from the mar
rover conditions of the past it is natural
that some of " should go too far in
our desire to adopt the best the age has
to give. It is certainly desirable that
our girls should be thoroughly edu-
Gated, so that they will be able to take
care of themselves, but we should not
ignore the fact that in the great ma
jority of cases they will be called to the
noblest, sweetest duty that a woman
can take upon herself-the care Of a
home.
Upon their proper performance of this
task their happiness will largely rest
in the future years. Why, then, should
we not insist that one part of their
education should be as thoroughly con-
sidered as the other? A young man
has no such twofold contingency to
meet. He knows that all his life he will
be called upon TO take care of himself,
and if he is manly fellow he looks for
ward to the time when he shall take
care of some one else and be the head Of
a family.
No self-respecting woman wishes to
depend upon the chance of marriage.
She desires to be as useful and as intel
ligent as she can and to be so trained
that she will be able TO adopt some
means of livelihood in case she remains
q single woman or becomes widow
With children to care for and support.
The training for a career which has
BECOME the rule to-day in no way un-
fits q modest, womanly woman from be-
ing a good wife and mother. The
wisdom of books gives her power
TO train her children more in
diligently. A disciplined mind is
able to meet with greater equanimi
~ the various vexations and petty trials
of home life. An intelligent woman will
succeed where a weaker woman will
fail
There is no employment woman can
engage in which will bring her so much

The great Hale peach orchard. in
Georgia, covens LOIS acres, 600 of which
are in bearing trees. and the remainder
in nursery stock. There are avenues
running north and south through the
orchard 500 feet apart. with cross
road every 1000 feet. There are two
large packing houses 100 feet long and
40 feet wide and two stories high. and
a lodging house or hotel has just been
built for the help.
Last year some AGO helpers camped
in barns, wagons, tents, etc. At picking
time about 500 men and women, chief.

are employed, while so men and sc
mules are employed the year round.
AT the lodging house rooms and beds
are free and board costs $3.50 a week,
while families and parties can furnish
their own food and have it cooked for
themselves if they choose.
This year the curculio attacked the
peaches and Mr.. Hale waged prompt
war upon the insects, Earring the trees
and catching the insects in sheets

Tor several days after the exposure ne

and painful to the touch, and the finger,
which had begun to blister, felt some

strong sunburn. 1t was quite a week
before any of the symptoms named

Thomson deduces that 2oentgen rays

Washington, Jan. S.-Arguments in
the ELECTION contest of Thomas +. Wat
son, late candidate for vice president on
the Populist ticket, against James c.
Black. Of the Tenth congressional dis
trict OF Georgia, were begun today be-
fore the house elections committee. 1t
was thought that Mr.. Watson would be
present, but he did not put in an ap-
pearance The sitting member, Mr.
Black, was among those who heard the
arguments of a formidable array OF
counsel, Messrs. Gross, West, Glenn and
Rountree appearing for Watson, and
Messrs Cummings, Lamar, Copen and
Wright for Black.
Mr.. Glenn, in behalf of Watson, ar
gued that the entire vote of the city of
Augusta should be thrown out because
of number of alleged irregularities in
registration and of the ballot boxes, lack
of representation on the boards, etc. In
behalf of Black. the entire regularity of
the election was argued by Mr.. Cum
rnings, who maintained that the entire
theory of Watson's case, of a wide
spread conspiracy of frauds, was not
justified by the facts. The committee -
not likely to vote on the contest for the
present.
The arguments took wide range into
tha general political conditions of the
south and the progress of the Populist
party. Mr.. Glenn claimed that Watson

had turned its back on the old regime,

racy OF the south. The latter element
looked upon the new corners as revolu-
tionists, and every power Of the old ma /
cfine. he said was directed toward
crushing them. While conceding Repre-
sentative Blacks personal integrity, Mr..
Glenn asserted that Mr. Black was a |
beneficiary of the methods employed by :
