1t is Said of the Kitchen,


That in most houses the kitchen is the
last room but by no means the least, in
influence and Importance.
That the young housewife who asserted
that 1.-The kitchen in her new home should
be as cheerful and attractive as any apart
ment in it, was a very judicious woman;
and she gave excellent reasons for her res
oiution.
That a careful mistress should spend a
portion of each day there.
That light. ventilation and convenience
are requisites.
That papered walls become soiled and
hold the odors from the cooking until they
are very Objectionable; while once paint
ed, they can be kept sweet and fresh for
a long time with occasional washings, or
by wiping them off with a damp cloth
That buff or light yellow for walls and
ceiling, and oak-graining for woodwork,
give a bright, cheerful appearance.
That shades, and half-sash white mus
lin curtains, that can be put up clean
at least every other week make the best
window furnishings.
That the shades should be hung three
inches from the top of the ceiling, so that
the window can be lowered and fresh air
come in, while the smoke and heat go
out.
That clock Is desirable, as the duties
of a servant are such that they must be
regulated by time.
That screens are a summer necessity,
both for the windows and the doors, for
excluding the flies, and weather strips for
winter comfort, keeping the windows
Snug except when opened for ventila-
ton.

PACIFIC BILL DEAD.
Senate Likely to Let Matter Go by Default
Vote of House Was So Decisive.

Washington. January 1.-THE decisive
vote in the House against the Pacific
railroads funding bill has changed the
condition of affairs with respect to that
bill in the Senate. II is possible that a
meeting of the Senate committee will
be called at once for an informal con-
ference of the mem bers will be held to
decide upon plan Of action. Under the
programme arranged by the steering
committee it was to be made the untin-
ished business after q vote on the Okla
boma free homestead bill which would
have been disposed Of within very few
days.
The judgment of the members Of the
Pacific railroads com mittee of the Sen
ate is that it will he useless to consume
the time of the Senate in discussion
of she measure as it appears to be the
desire to either construct different
measure, meeting some OF the objections
raised in the House, or let tho Senate

ioFFIcER MERRILL SET THE TRAP.
The Bait Was an Old Coat and When the
Trap Was Sprung an Alleged Thief Was
Caught.

Sometime yesterday afternoon an over
coat was stolen from Bernstein g store
on Fore street and about dark Bernstein
found tho coat hidden under a pile of
boards in an alleyway near the place
from which the coat was taken. The
matter was reported to the police and Ia
trap was set to catch the thief. An old
coat was put unoer the board pile and
MADE to look a good deal like the gar
ment the thief had secreted there. Then
Officer Frank Merrill was1stationed near
by in an old shed to await the coming
of the thief. For nearly an hour OfficeE
Merrill stood in that shedTin the cold
and had about given up all hopes Of
catching his man when he saw someo ne
who acted in q very suspicious manner
cautiously coming up the alIeywey.
Officer Merrill saw them an stool p in
front of the board pile to pull out the
old coat seoreted there, and then sprung
the trsp.
When the fellow found himself held
in the grasp of the officer he began to tefi
stories explaining his presence in hte
was Thompson and that he lived on
Deer street. Then he was a Murphy
from Pennsylvania and finally he had
himself located down In the Southern
States but In enc thing his tales were
always the same, inasmuch as knew moth
ing about the coat. He will have an op-
portunity of telling Judge Robinson
about the matter on Wednesday.

Washington, January 11.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Minister Andrade as
plenipotsntiaries of their respective
countries to negotiate the Anglo Vene-
zuelan arbitration treaty, have. it is
claimed not completed the work, al
though the main points of the conven-
tion as agreed upon In the Olney
memorandum were today disposed Of.
Other details with one or two excep-
sions involve no delay. The place of
meeting of the tribunal is the chief point
of difference, Venezuela preferring Wash
ington. Mr.. Andrade says the Vsnezue-
lar Congress could be assent bled on u
few days notice and he expresses tho hope
That the treaty will be ready for ratifica-
tion early in February. 1t is believed
that the two plenipotentaries reached
practical agreement last week on pro-
vis!onal treaty, and copies thereof have
been sent to London and Caracas in
which blank spaces are left for the place
of the tribunal s sessions to be filed in
by the cable messages.
No doubt is expressed in the certain
eventual ratification of the treaty which
has been considered by all parties to have
bean practically concluded November 81,
when Sir Julian and Secretary Olney
signed the memorandum.

Text of the Document as Given Out
Measure VIII be Closely scrutinized
in the Senate-Has Approval of House
Almost Unanimously.
Washington, January 1.-The Presi-
dent sent the following message to the
Senate this afternoon, transmitting the
Anglo-American general arbitration
treaty:
To the Senate:-I transmits herewith a
treaty for the arbitration of all matters
in difference between the United Suites
and Great Britain.
The provisions Of the treaty are the re-
suit of long and patient deliberati0n, and
represent concessions made by each party
for the settlement Of an agreement upon
general scheme.
Though the result reached may not
meet the views of the advocates of imme-
diate, unlimited and irrevooable arbitra-
tion, OF all International oontro versaries,
it Is, nevertheless confidently believed
that the treaty cannot fail to be every
where recognized as taking a long step
in the right direction and as emodying
practical, working plan by whioh dis
reach peaceful adjustment, as matter
of course and ordinary routine.
In the initiative of such an important
movement it must be expected that some
features will assume tentative character
looking to further advance. 1T is ap-
parent that the treaty formulated not
only makes war betw cen the parties to ita
remote possibility, but precludes those
fears and rumorS of war which of them
selves too often assume proportions Of
national disaster.
1t is eminently fitting as we'll as fortu
nate, that an attempt to accomplish re-
by kindred peoples, speaking the sam g
tongue, Joined together by all ties of
common traditions, common institutions
and common aspirations. The expert
ment of substituting civilized methods
for brute force as the means of settling
international questions of right will thus
be tried under the happiest auspices.
Its success ought not to be
doubtful and the fact that
it's ultimate ensuingi benefits
are not likely TO be limited to the two
countries Immediately concerned, should
cause 1T to be promoted all the more
eagerly. This example set and the lesson
furnished by the successful operation of
this treaty are sure to be felt and taken
TO heart sooner or later by other nations,
and will thus mark the beginning OF
new epoch Ia civilization.
Profoundly impressed MS am | by the
promise of the franscen dant good which
this treaty affords, do not hesitate to
accompany its transmission with she ex-
preston of my earnest hope that it may
com mend itself to the favorable consider
alton of the Setets.

The legislature will meet again at 4. 80
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon and listen to
the announcement of the committee by
the presiding officers of the two branches.
The committees can do little this week
but organize and receive what matters
come to them. 1t will not be practical
for them TO give hearings as there will
be no time to advertise and two or thre Q
weeks must elapse, necessarily, before
the committees get down to solid work
That there will be the usual quantity of
bills, petitions, ETC., there is no doubt.
Stacks of these will come pouring in SO
that the secretary of the Senate and clerk
Of the House will be obliged to labor
fourteen hours day to keep their
voted the services of Il stenographer and
typewriter by the House, which action
will facilitate the transaction of business
